From What Meghan Wore.

Only the craziest of sugars would pay almost $60 for these to look like their kween. You can get something similar at the CVS or on Amazon for under $12. Guess it's more "royal" coming from Crown Affair.

Crown Affair's slogan is: "Luxury haircare and tools that turn everyday routines into meaningful rituals, helping support healthier hair with ease and intention." That word salad could have come straight off of As ever's website. Could see the appeal for Meghan, who would no doubt also think a $58 price tag makes a plastic hair clip "elevated".

And they're so small! $58 for these??

Haidt posted this on IG today:

https://preview.redd.it/z74ruzdlt62h1.png?width=1036&format=png&auto=webp&s=bec95db426ac37ae89f4bfe3903300ae4868a73c

Last fall, he stated in a Vanity Fair article ("Jonathan Haidt Explains Why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Reached Out To Him") that he "met Meghan and Harry after Archewell reached out to his organization, After Babel. They finally connected at last year’s World Mental Health Day.

“I was greatly honored by that, but I then had to rush back to my class,” Haidt said. He apologized to his students, then explained that he was late by showing them a picture of him posing with Harry. “So the students cut me some slack.”

“I’m not that familiar with all of the things that Archewell does,” he said. “I just know that they have been bringing together the parents, helping the parents tell their story—helping them say that their child’s life matters.”

Maybe he should get familiar with what Archewell does, particularly their finances.

This is exactly the same method of clout-chasing that MM used to hook Gloria Steinem. In that case, the subject was feminism.

In this case, MM is attaching herself to Haidt to legitimize and add his stardust to her new cause, kids and social media. I suspect the poor guy was blinded by the royal titles (he apparently asked for a selfie with Harry) and didn't do his due diligence. Does anyone think he knows Meghan posts photos of her kids on her Instagram to sell her products?

(Yet again, this is why H&M cling to those titles so fiercely. Without them, someone like Haidt wouldn't know or care who they were.)

It's hard to think of a less auspicious date for a British royal to marry a commoner. Especially for a red-headed one named Henry marrying a black-haired, dark-eyed woman!

May 19 is the date of the execution of Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII. To marry her, he had alienated his family, turned his back on his responsibilities to his kingdom, thumbed his nose at the religion of his birth, and sent thousands of people to their deaths.

However, when Anne didn't live up to her promises of what life would be like after they married (specifically, that she would bear him sons), AND he tired of her flirtations with other men and sharp tongue (she had unkind things to say about his bedroom skills), he got rid of her. She was beheaded at the Tower of London on May 19, 1536.

Obviously, it was not Anne's fault that she gave birth to a daughter and then had miscarriages. In those days, the blame was always put on the woman, not the man.

We all know that Harry has little knowledge or interest in history. His tutor at Eton was shocked that he couldn't even be bothered to study the monarchs in his own family. And let's say that Meghan's teenage obsession with the BRF didn't extend past Princess Diana. But still.

Was there no courtier, or even the Queen, who was aware of what that date meant in royal history when the wedding was being planned? Really? Or they told Haz and Megs, but the duo didn't care?

I dunno, maybe Meghan wanted her wedding on the anniversary of the day Marilyn Monroe sang "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to John F. Kennedy in that super-tight dress? (totally not being serious here!)

And then there's the old saying, "Marry in May, rue the day." (No offense meant to fellow sinners married in May!) Full explanation of this here: https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/may-wedding-bad-luck-spiritual-meaning

"Meanwhile, the people of southern France had a very, um, explicit explanation. According to an 1840 article about superstitions within the region, the entire month of May was "rejected by the young girls who are betrothed; and they frankly say upon the subject, that it is not suitable to marry at a period when the asses are amorous."

See my post below titled "Harry says she'll let you do anything!" for full information.

More information came in after I had already made the post, and we can't change titles once they are published.

Between cozying up to this guy who calls Nigerians the N-word, and pushing Lili onto her Instagram the day before making a speech on keeping kids off social media, Meghan's hypocrisy is off the charts. And all within 48 hours!

This is a more accurate title. Thank you.

This is what I read in the expression of Meghan's enthusiastic dinner partner from last night, the Finnish Minister for Social Care, Wille Rydman (see photo below). Looking very cozy ....

ETA: Some very interesting background info on MM's dinner partner Wille Rydman from Wikipedia (backed by citations):

In June 2022, Helsingin Sanomat published an article in which Rydman was accused of grooming and sexually harassing young women and girls**, while taking advantage of his status as a politician. In the article, some of the women described Rydman's use of violence and offers of alcohol even to underage girls.**

Shortly after being named Minister of Economic Affairs in 2023, as the Finns Party ministers in the Orpo Cabinet faced several controversies, Helsingin Sanomat published a series of text messages Rydman had sent to his then-partner Amanda Blick in 2016 in which he used racist language. Rydman had been a 30-year-old Member of Parliament during this time. In the messages Rydman juxtaposes himself with Nazis and attacks immigrants with racist terms. On one message, when Blick had told Rydman how she would like a Hebrew name for her child "such as Immanuel", Rydman answered: "We Nazis don't really like that kind of kike things." On another, Rydman is complaining about Germany letting its Nazi architecture deteriorate. In other racist messages Rydman calls people from the Middle East as "monkeys" and "desert monkeys". While pondering about the heritability of his brown eyes, Rydman established: "Even if I bred with a pitch-black Nigerian nigger the child would still have a 26% chance to have green eyes."

I tried to post a screen shot of Rydman's tweet "A dinner with Meghan", but it was deleted over and over. Many thanks to SharkBoss1234 for posting the photo in the comments below!

This article with photos appeared in the Daily Mail on November 11, 2017, six months before H&M got married and also before their engagement. Note all the compliments on Doria's intelligence, the quotes from friends on her beauty as a young woman, and the positive descriptions of Thomas.

These are hardly rabid, racist attacks from the British press. The comments, too, mostly from Brits, are overwhelmingly positive. (You can't put much stock in the up and down arrow votes, because readers can vote anytime from the time of publication right up to the present.).

Regarding the royal family, a majority of the comments are very much in favor of Meghan marrying in and the progress this would symbolize. You would never believe this listening to the sugars. But there they are.

Looking at the photos of young Doria and young Thomas, to me it looks like Archie resembles Doria, and Lili resembles Thomas. Thoughts?

Doria was 16 and a sophomore in high school in this 1972 photo. She doesn't appear in the 1973 or 1974 yearbooks (online at Ancestry), so she either dropped out or moved before she graduated.

Here is a yearbook photo of Doria the DM missed, from the GAA Club. She looks very determined:

Here is a better version of the photo of Thomas from his senior year in high school:

Yesterday, the Social Security Administration released their newest list of the top 1000 baby names for newborn boys and girls. The full list is at https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/

The website also allows you to look at how the popularity of any individual name has changed between 2020 and 2026.

The name Meghan (with an h) was very popular in the 1980s and 1990s, then fell out of favor as often happens with very popular names. But it suddenly jumped in popularity again when Harry married Meghan -- only to drop like a stone a year later. Nameberry.com states:

"The form entered the US Top 100 in the '80s, where it remained until the mid-90s. By 2012, it had rapidly declined and was out of the Top 1000. With the ascendance of British Prince Harry's wife Meghan Markle, however, this spelling had a brief resurgence. In 2018, the year of their marriage, it was one of the fastest rising names in both the US and the UK, though the following year saw it as one of the fastest falling."

The last year that the name Meghan was in the top 1000 was 2021:

Interestingly, however, some parents are still naming their daughters Megan, although less and less frequently. Apparently they still like the sound of the name, but do not want to use the spelling that Madame uses.

https://preview.redd.it/xhh2103lr60h1.png?width=1647&format=png&auto=webp&s=77f568524b6e141bce41bac5bc8a52f6ca9d0dcc

It is true that Megan has always been the more popular spelling of the two. However, if MM were as universally popular and admired in the U.S. as the sugars maintain, why has her spelling of the name not only fallen but plunged, and so fast?

My sympathies to Meghan Trainor.

This one was just last week:

This one, on women's health, was last fall:

https://getextracredit.substack.com/p/an-afternoon-with-gloria-steinem

This one was in February. A few men were invited as well.

https://archive.is/PrhOZ

No sign of Meghan Markle, activist, feminist, humanitarian, and dear, dear friend of Gloria's, at any of these events.

No doubt this was bc of securitayyyyy. (not)

We know she reads here, so poor Gloria will probably get an irate phone call this afternoon.
