Behind the royal façade: what are they hiding from us?

Thomas Markle Junior still hopes for a wedding invitation

He has sent another open letter to Meghan, saying how hurt he is not to be invited:

'Meg I know that I’m not perfect, nor is anyone else in our family, as I’m sure you have read by now. But good, bad, or perfect, we’re the only family that you have,' he wrote in the letter, published on Friday by InTouch.

'It does hurt my feelings not getting invited to your wedding, along with the rest of the family. But it’s not too late to send me an invite along with your entire family.' "



The two Thomases do like those dark blue shirts:

The DM has provided transcripts in the relevant articles for this and the other two letters he has written recently.

Thomas Markle’s pictures were staged: what a surprise

The DM has published hard evidence that the recent pictures of Thomas Markle Senior were staged - for large sums of money.

This has been obvious to most of us right from the start. The only surprise has been the number of commenters who say that his privacy is being invaded and people should leave him alone. I am not sure whether they are stupid sugars who take everything at face value or paid PR people and astro-turfers, similar to the people who ignore the evidence and dismiss all criticism of Meghan as jealousy or racism.

The mastermind in the case is ruthless English paparazzo Jeff Rayner:



I liked the suit measuring pictures best. The good old DM has found the young man who operated the tape-measure:

“The Mail on Sunday spoke to the young man seen measuring Mr Markle’s waistline and neck.

He was described as a ‘tailor’ in information supplied with the picture but this newspaper can reveal that he is 17-year-old David Flores, a student who works part-time in a shop supplying tables, chairs and bunting for parties.

Mr Markle apparently turned up to the suit hire store last month only to find it closed, so recruited Mr Flores from nearby premises.

Mr Flores revealed how Mr Markle appeared at the party shop with Rayner in tow. He said Mr Markle even supplied his own measuring tape, which he pulled from his trouser pocket. Mr Markle then instructed him to take measurements while Rayner snapped away…

Mr Flores said: ‘It was really strange. This big American guy got the measuring tape out of his pocket and he was saying things in English. I don’t speak good English but I understood what he wanted me to do. The photographer he was with stepped back to the street and started taking pictures'"

So they used a party shop as the tailor was closed? That explains the brightly-coloured fabric in the pictures.

The Markles: the gift that keeps on giving

Now Samantha has taken responsibility for the staged photoshoots:

“Samantha Markle has claimed it was her idea for Thomas Markle to be photographed in a series of royal wedding shoots where he lives in Mexico - including surfing the net for pictures of the couple and apparently being measured for a suit.

But she claims that it was all to paint him - and Harry and Meghan - in a 'positive' light before he walks his daughter down the aisle at St George's Chapel, Windsor, on Saturday.

The Mail on Sunday revealed that the pictures, taken with his co-operation, will have netted up to £100,000, but Samantha insists it wasn't done for money. She said: 'I'm entirely the culprit. I said to him to show the world "I'm getting in shape and getting healthy" so I suggested it to benefit him and the royal family'.”

She said all this on a TV show, for which she wore pearls. Her hair used to be much lighter:

Two mothers of the bride: a coincidence

As mentioned above, the future Queen Alexandra was married in St. George’s chapel, Windsor.
Her parents, the King and Queen of Denmark, were in attendance. Her mother was Louise of Hesse-Kassel.

Assuming that Saturday’s wedding goes ahead, Meghan will be supported by her mother, whose middle name as previously mentioned is Loyce, a form of Louise.

Thomas Markle Senior is too ill to come to the wedding

His heart problems mean that he is not able to fly. The latest story is that he is having major surgery tomorrow.

I am disappointed - I was so looking forward to seeing him on Saturday.

I still don’t know whether he really wanted to come and whether Meghan really wanted him to come. Maybe they were saying one thing and thinking another. Maybe he was never going to come and they have been playing silly games with us.

I wonder what further developments the next few days will bring.

Some sympathy for Samantha Markle

She has few supporters out there: most commenters are very critical of her.

I do feel rather sorry for her though. I am not so sure about her father, but I think that she really wanted to be invited to the wedding. She made the point that they have added insult to injury by inviting a lot of strangers and celebrities instead of family. I have experienced something like this myself; it hurt terribly at the time and I am still very unhappy about it.



In this picture of Samantha on her big day, Meghan seems to be putting herself forward and making herself the centre of attraction:

Here are a couple of other very curious photos from the same article. Harry and Meghans car with the number plate. Odd.



Thought the reflections in the windows looked very weird and unnatural in this one.

Hearts and car crashes: real or symbolic?

Maybe Thomas Markle’s heart problems have been invented or exaggerated to give him a good reason for not coming to the wedding.

Samantha Markle claims to have been hurt in a car crash. There is no evidence that this crash actually happened. Is she trying to get sympathy and attention?

What messages are there behind these alleged incidents?

Hearts and car crashes remind me of Princess Diana. Her father Earl Spencer had heart trouble...

“I wonder what they are playing at by not doing things the right way; it seems like this is a vain attempt to win back public support for an institution that has been in acute decline these past years.”

aletheia if that is the case then the attempt is indeed vain. It may backfire spectacularly and create even more people who think that the monarchy is past its sell-by date.

Some people are suggesting that Meghan is having everything the way she wants it, and may even be using blackmail!

Bowl food (I had to look that one up), product placement, Meghan being given away by her future father-in-law, only one member of her family present ... what a travesty.

And then there is the estimated cost of £30 million for security - all paid for out of our tax money.

I bought some popcorn this afternoon, to eat while I watch tomorrow’s circus - at home, not on the streets like this lot of dedicated royal fans who have been camping out so as to get a good view:

Queen Victoria and two royal weddings

When Alexandra of Denmark married Bertie, Prince of Wales in St. George’s Chapel, Windsor in 1863, it was a relatively quiet wedding. Only her parents and siblings were present, so there were many disappointed Danes. It was a small wedding because Queen Victoria was in mourning for Prince Albert; she watched the proceedings from the balcony above.

Princess Alexandra was 18 years old. She was handed over by her father to the protection of the Prince of Wales.

Queen Victoria with the happy couple. Is that Prince Albert on the pedestal?



This time too there are many disappointed relations of the bride. Perhaps the mother of the groom will be watching from above too.

The rest is rather a travesty: Meghan’s age, her previous marriage(s), having the groom’s father for an escort, not to mention her independent life for many years... and a religious ceremony that probably means little to the participants.

Queen Victoria is in a good position on her pedestal for watching the procession in the streets of Windsor. I wonder what she would think of the circus that will take place later today.

I was aghast at how long that Bishop from the Episcopal Church carried on for. Sir Elton John couldn't stop his face from showing his displeasure too.

The ceremony was a reckless flouting of tradition and I had to stop watching as I was cringing a bit.

At least now the hubbub can die down; something like this really does distract from other important events that fly under the RADAR.

“The ceremony was a reckless flouting of tradition and I had to stop watching as I was cringing a bit.”

I switched the sound off and stopped watching when that American bishop started preaching: I just couldn’t take it.

I expect that Meghan has no idea of how inappropriate that ‘act’ was.

She got what she wanted: a show-biz extravaganza of a multi-cultural wedding. I wonder whether this will be as good as it gets for her.

I doubt whether she consciously plans to bring down the monarchy - that would be the last thing she would want - but perhaps she is being used by the powers behind the scenes.

I thought that Prince Harry did not look too happy much of the time, resigned rather. And Prince George is not a happy child.

Hi Aletheia - the media has made many hints of a feud in the royal family. I think we saw that feud revealed in that ceremony. Prince Harry (remember he's an imposter swapped at aged 8, the real one died in 2016 in a hail of bullets) was chatting to PWill waiting at the alter. William turned his back on his 'brother' and looked away angrily. But the big giveaway apart from the glum faces was the lack of a curtsey. The bride must show here reverence for the Queen and curtsey deeply on exiting the church when passing in front of her. She didn't she sailed glacially by in her fabulous Givenchy frock (200k). Harry didn't manage much of a bow. This is the equivalent of giving the Queen the finger.

Three parts to the finger. It's 33 symbolism. Possibly a message to someone, somewhere.
