This video has prompted a lot of spirited debate! Like I said in the vid, a Shakespearian Drama of the highest order 😅My purpose was to cover what two authors have published to date on the subject. I am not a shock and awe channel however I do show my reaction to the written word often! I try not to speculate unnecessarily..., especially on serious subjects. Many were disappointed "I" didn't include material that is out on the internet? What I think isn't really the focus of this video. I know that all my viewers are capable of doing their own research and forming their own opinions so there is no need for me to ever convince anyone of anything. I presented what I have found published in books and I leave you to investigate further if you wish 🙂 I value you all and I appreciate your thoughtful comments so much!
Thank you for your sensible approach to the matter. I for myself can say, that I found the „touching of her belly“ very off putting and annoying at the time, without having any real interest in the two (Harry and his wife) at the time. Actually non whatsoever. But this odd and repeated behavior even caught my attention. What it probably comes down to, more than anything, is that all of these shananigans say more about her narcissism and all that comes with that, than anything else. She probably wants to create „intrigue and mystery“ in order to control and manipulate the issue(s)to her (financial) advantage. Greed is a powerful motivator.
Whether intentional or not, your comments in the context of discussing the books contribute to the gaslighting. You perpetuate the hoax that there was a pregnancy and that a child was born, that medical practitioners were involved when there were none and that a baby was presented to the media when it was a doll that was actually presented.
@Sws… what she is doing is giving a review on what two different authors have written in their books. Which is why I’m here to hear, to hear the reviews on this tow books.
When Harry talked about Meg miscarried at hospital and then the nurses gave Harry the miscarried fetus in a brown bag so he went a found a special tree for burial. That's a crock. No hospital would ever do that
ME-gain looked pregnant with Archie gaining weight in her face and other areas. However if they used a surrogate it would most likely have been for Lilibet. Surrogacy would have been easier in the U.S… plus she really wasn’t in the public eye during that time making it easier to hide the fact she wasn’t pregnant herself.
I am not a conspiracy theorist but I was a midwife. I have never seen bumps change shape so quickly often in the same photo shoot, seen a woman so obsessive about cradling her bump or able le to squat in high heels with her knees together when heavily pregnant. also Markles centre of balance was completely wrong for someone purporting to have a large bump. so there is something very strange indeed about it all
But if she was wearing a fake bump, how could she crouch with her knees together? What I’m saying is, a bump is a bump. I’m obese and I can’t crouch (and prefer not to sit) with my knees together.
@@GradKat because a baby is hard and takes up all available space in the abdomen particularly in the 3rd trimester..it’s why women need to pee more frequently their bladders don’t have as much room to expand, the baby cannot be squashed and moved out of the way. moon bump is external and softer, lighter and can be squashed. I don’t know what was happening but it’s all very odd and suspicious.
@@GradKat. Moonbump are not part of the muscle structure of the body. Monbumps don't have any relationship with the muscles around the womb, so won't be affected by any movement. the moonbump sits in front of the body, held in place by appropriately placed strapping. Which obviously failed when she and he made an official royal visit to Birkenhead - archie fell down to her knees! Umbilical cord? Or bungee cord? Pictures on youtube - meg in red coat and purple dress.
Purple dress, red coat.... it dropped to her knees. How does that happen? She even thought it was funny.H&M are major grifters. I’m not buying it. No kids.
Watch the footage of when they showed the baby at the palace where Harry says 2 weeks and Megan says 2 days. But she has never spoken about her pregnancy how she felt etc. Very odd
That's right! She would have loved to have been photographed where Catherine was photographed after her birth experience! Spare needs to be the same as big brother after all!
@@corra7 Harry was very careful to say that we have our baby Son. Not that Megan have birth which is the natural thing to say. She would of had a spread in a magazine showing off that bare bump. The plot thickens 🤔
When we all saw how she used the wedding ceremony as a way to ingratiate herself with the actor celebrities with great fame who she had never even met ,then is was a sign we willfully ignored of the way she perceived what the royal family was about . She didn’t understand or care , it was a vehicle for her to promote herself and hijack the privileges and respect they are given without ever subscribing to the traditions and role expected of her and them as a family . We ignored it because we fell for the doe eyed looks she gave her husband and all hoped the best for him , naively . When we saw the raving madman “ minister” she and her mother , the sole family member, invited to speak at the wedding we all saw the insanity and massive gap in culture .now we were entering Los Angeles culture ,,what a shock to see ours depraved so badly by a woman on the make .,I half expected to see the minister start dancing to “ Sex Machine “ by James Brown and say “ I just gotta dance now “ as he grooved down the aisle on the way out of the church . Ludicrous and surreal and the sign of the tabloid , Oprah style , exploitation culture to come . We used to deal with monarchical families who betrayed the role and people in a very definite way !
Looking at their faces at the ceremony I think most were as appalled as we were watching on the tv . What could they do though ?caught 8n a PR international scandal and smearing campaign if they acted to do anything to deter him from marrying her , which they were to face anyway as her way to sell,their story , even without 3vidence amd the actual events proving the opposite being done to prove her smears were without any justification ? If it were a film people,would think it too ludicrous to be true . A barely successful,actress , yacht girl “”party girl” ,escort to the rich and famous who connived her way into access to the royal family , not for the first Prince she met but a younger one , a dubious pregnancy , and then gone to the USA to be on Oprah and a life of the shopping channel .,it’s insane !
Have to say I didn’t go around holding my pregnant tummy and I never saw my friends do it either. I guess we knew our tummies weren’t going to fall to our knees!😂😂
I absolutely don't agree she was ever pregnant. Her belly was different sizes on different days. Often different sizes on the same day. What about when the bump fell down past her knees? Remember when, at almost full term, she did a deep squat in high heels & needed no help to stand up again. Unborn babies don't conveniently move to one side so you can squat. Anatomy doesn't work that way. I've always been very slim & had 2 babies in my 20s, not middle aged as she was. I can tell you, my baby bumps got bigger month by month, not up & down on sometimes an hourly basis. Neither did my babies conveniently get out of the way if I wanted to squat. Not that I could have, even if I wanted to. So much more I could say, but, NO she was never pregnant. Love your vids. Your lovely accent brings back fond memories of the 5 yrs it was my privilege to live & work in Sydney. It was bonzer.
I'm so happy I found your channel. 🇨🇦 I'm in the camp that believes that MM was never pregnant. I am a retired Labour and Delivery nurse (30 years!) And have never seen a pregnant woman whose "bump" changed/moved so very much. In fact, I was at a play recently and the woman beside me (a member of our group) was very pregnant. Even though she was quite a slim woman, and someone I knew to be quite active, when she sat, her legs were quite far apart. I asked her if she would be able to sit with her legs together and she said no, there wouldn't be any place for the baby to go. It reminded me of MM squatting with her legs together. Funny it should occur this past weekend and brought MM to my mind.
I agree - she was never pregnant, it is important the the British people have proof that a future monarch really is entitled to the role, and to date we have no such proof that any children of H and M are. Tom Bower also refers to the Queen and Philip 'looking at a shawl', there are legal reasons and also repercussions as to why the circumstances of a child's birth cannot be revealed until they choose to or the parents do.
I've heard so many medical professionals with years of real-life experience come to the same conclusion as you. I was skeptical from the start when she conveniently fell pregnant so quickly at her age. Also, at the first photo shoot with Archie, H says "He's changed a lot in 2 weeks" There definitely was a surrogate involved.
@@sueking2206 that's what I said right away!! Instead of showing us pictures of the baby (which, in spite of the Sussexes' claims, people and reporters DID ask for!), we were shown pictures of people (as you say, the Queen, Prince Philip and others) looking at a bundle of swaddling cloths that may or may not have contained a baby. I even took one of my baby blankets and rolled it up loosely (my youngest "baby" is 12 years old, so empty blanket only!) - I managed to achieve/copy that exact look. Someone try to convince me otherwise. 🤨
May anyone explain why the queen and prince Philip were dressed and standing the same way in Megan's photo like they are when looking at a new born fowl. Alo Tom Bower says they were looking at a shawl. ( that statement t felt loaded
Nurse, if you seen me in the picture being pregnant (with my second son) sat down on the sofa with two dogs and my other son. Big bump on my 5'2 height. My legs could not reach to each other. I had to get help get up sometimes from too soft sofa.
I have friends who are retired midwives and they all agreed that Meghans bump was the wrong size and in the wrong position for the term of the pregnancy. In addition there are photos that the size of the bump appeared to change according to the occasion.
I found it difficult to undersrand how she could squat down in high heels being apparently very pregnant. I also found some of the photos of her on the same day in the same outfit with different sized bumps.
Princess Anne recently said that no one in the RF has ever seen or met the children. At same time, I never believed that the Queen would meet Archie wearing a cardigan. She and Philip had attended a horse show that day and were wearing the same clothes. I always believed the photo was photo shopped, similar to the christening photo.
I think if she had had a baby, for real, she would have gushed about it, none stop, books, interviews, podcasts, everything. What have we had.......' Silence'
Just add "no gushing" to "no swelling", "no increased breast size", "no loss of balance", "no cravings (that we heard of) and on and on and . . . Rachel has one child, a girl who, I believe, lives in NY but she was never pregnant after marrying TO.
@@barbouraculleton5210 Oh, you poor people . . . you need to develop interests in life, and not waste it foaming over TO & TOW. They are a waste of your precious time.
No one, at least no one normal, holds their bump all the time and in such demonstrative way! She wanted as much attention as humanly possible and used her bump like she uses everything and everyone for her narcissistic ego.
Because there has been so much speculation about Archie, you’d think that the actual midwifery staff and consultant who was present at the birth would come out and make a statement to say that yes, she was pregnant, went into Labour, and delivered the child called Archie from her own body. I’ve seen nothing about this, and as for lilli, has anyone actually even seen her.
No! No one has seen Invisibet/Lillibucks out and about, or anywhere. There was that one dodgy photo where she appeared to have no legs, but looked like a little puff set down on the grass. It was also said to be a picture of someone else's baby. One other so-called photo of her showed MM holding "a baby", but MM looked to be at least 5 years younger.
@@ferociousgumby I agree, the photo of her holding a baby with a cot in the background was said to be the child she had with her first husband, whose parents had the marriage annulled after a month, and who bought up the child. The ‘first birthday’ photo was definitely photoshopped. The child had no legs, and seemed to be hovering above the grass 😳
There have been 2 children by the names of "Archie" and "Diana Maria" aka Lillibet. Both chidren were born of surrogates. Diana Maria has been remanded by California courts and Child Protective Services to the custody of her surrogate birth mother. Archie has just disappeared. Eugenie and staff found Archie's real birth certificate under a mattress at Frogmore Cottage when the staff was packing up Harry and Meghan's things to ship to California. It was reported that Archie's real father had been notified of Archie's existence. And the real father wants Archie. Now Princess Anne and Camilla both have found children at homeless shelter and orphanage that look like Archie. The child Princess Anne found had just been put on the new homeless shelters steps on the Monday evening, Harry had returned to the UK. I'm sure Anne will make sure of that child's history.
@@katjaxxx7353 I don't believe it's her. There is another one in b & w that was also supposed to be Lili at the same age, but MM looked at LEAST 5 years younger, with lighter skin (of course). I have to say, though you're never supposed to say this, that was one ugly baby.
Ahhhhhh. Thank you for my daily dose of intelligence. No need to explain yourself to people. Plenty of folks out here who appreciate what you’re doing. Just keep being awesome. ❤🙋♀️🇺🇸
@@thevintageread ..Did you see the tweet from the palace saying their child arrived by surrogate then quickly deleted. That was just the cherry on the cake with the moon bump theory.
Exactly , evidence is historically and culturally essential for any monarchical system , otherwise they have no legitimacy at all and titles are fraudulent .
@@MinsHome361 Really ! Perhaps,look,at the historical record and learn much about the heritage of This Duck and learn the doubts , look at the photos of his “ rumoured “ real father and him , look at the interviews with him and the affairs of his mother and then say that people can’t pop in to the line . Historically there has been much controversy about those in line and there are laws and traditions that demand proof of birth and parentage .we don’t just pop a crown on any random d list celebrities kids !
No they can't. They have to be born in wedlock out of her body. In the olden days when a member of the royal family was giving birth a doctor was in the room with them to make sure it came out of her body. If this was still the case how would Megzie have gotten round that one😂
MM apparently ran up the stairs whilst on the baby shower. Also the baby dropped to the knees and Harry looked horrified. Not a new Royal problem. The Warming pan.
Just wanted to mention that Lady C's book was published quite a few years ago, and her perspective on Meghan's pregnancies has changed quite a bit since then. Also, Lady C is very aware of the legalities of sharing her opinion about the children being from surrogates, so she's very very careful of her words, especially about this; however, she often doesn't say things directly, but still gets her thoughts across.
To me, it is very very evident that she wasn’t pregnant and it’s really insulting to my intelligence when things like lady C’s book say that people thought there was a conspiracy due to her touching her belly and her being too big. That’s not true. That’s not true at all. We thought that because every single sign pointed clearly to her faking it. Then there are the people who say “well she gained weight and got swollen!” but don’t consider prolactin hormone therapy commonly given to surrogate mothers to make them product breast milk. So frustrating
You can't produce milk unless youve been pregnant, taking hormones will not work, why do you think some women have to give up breast feeding when their milk dries up
I wondered about that when her face got puffy but absolutely do not believe she was ever pregnant .She won’t come over here or bring the kids because of D N A ?
Tom says "the baby is born" he never says Meghan gave birth. And Harry's story with the laughing gas sounds like Meghan and Harry were there watching the birth
I distinctly remember her dancing (moon)bump back in March 2019 (on the 8th, I think, at that women's whatever panel). She was wearing a short white dress with a black pattern and cinched around the waist black blazer. Black high heels, bare legs as usual. She was rushing to shake some hands and her (moon)bump kept balancing from left to right to left and back to right again. Hilarious! That pregnancy must have been the only one in history where the woman had *0* water retention in her legs and arms. Don't start me on her left-leaning (moon)bump when they presented "Archie" to their preferred tv cable station. Whatever happened to Lord Geidt?
@@vanessapitt9886 That one tells me something seriously was wrong and I don't understand how she was not hauled over the coals for it! She went in with bump under her bust and came out with a weird sagging around her knees. Time to be honest with the public. Someone said she had her eggs frozen - why not be honest or if she had a surrogate be honest too, the public would forgive. She seems to want to come across as miss "Perfect" the miscarriage episode seems bizarre when the hospital let her go out with " foetus" in a box and they buried it????? Hospitals would not do that for sure with wild animals and risk of spreading bacteria etc.
@@lisakeell7343 The moonbump fell and she just walked around with it at her knees rather than thinking "Oh no!" and picking it up instantly? And "The public would forgive" Have you not read the comments?
Hellooo fellow Aussie👋🏼 so great to have such a sensible voice talking about these books and the rather bizarre issues that have arisen around the Sussex’s! As they say in the classics truth is stranger than fiction and never was this more aptly expressed & illustrated as on this channel! Love how you so expertly draw such intriguing parallels! Please keep going… it’s fascinating 😅👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lady C commented on the disparities in the birth announcement and no current birth certificate for public view 🤷♀️ and the red purple dress occasion when something fell down to her knees 🤣😂🤣😂🤷♀️Long live the King 💕🇬🇧🏴
I have been calling this a story Shakespeare would have loved to have written! You put this story into an understandable perspective. I enjoy your reviews very much. 🇨🇦🇬🇧
I'm currently reading lady C's book and the biggest issue was that it was only one month between the Aussie tour where Megan was barely showing and her appearance at that fashion event where she looked like she was going to give birth any day. Nobody grows that much in one month.
Totally against, not only royal protocol; but a planned snub to the country that gave them their wealth and royal privilege. Harry thinks he can twist his father around his little finger. He doesn't (he is not very bright) understand that his father, now the King, is not omnipotent. It is us the British people, that allows their existence. It suits us to have a stable, titular, Head of State; it gives consistency. It is conditional that they cannot be involved in politics or commerce. They exist with our permission. H&M will live to rue the day... They have constantly played the "privacy game" whilst abusing both their families, and the people of the UK. We will never have them back.
This is quickly becoming my favourite TH-cam channel - love the balanced and intelligent perspective you bring - and that you dive into the books. I'm in Canada, and we use British spelling too -- and I chuckled at your preemptive explanation. The constant emphasis on the pregnant belly for the cameras is very Hollywood - that's how I saw it. Its all about 'look at me!!'.
Or how about ‘being pregnant’ but still going to the Fiji Islands where Zika virus was quite rampant at the time. What OB/GYN wouldn’t freak out over that?
What REALLY started the surrogacy rumours was her visit to the old folk's home in what has come to be known as the "giraffe" dress. Videos and photos of her at that event clearly demonstrated that the "bump" had corners which is completely unnatural. It appeared she had a pillow or similar shape under her clothing.
The fact that Megan didn't take an opportunity for a photo call on the steps of the hospital on both occasions of her 2 pregnancy's smells of something odd. This is something Megan wouldn't pass up unless there was no birth {from her body} and no hospital stay
What about the photo of Meghan going into a meeting in a red coat and purple dress, bump up under her bust, then she comes out of the meeting with a weird sagging bump near her knees!! That to me shows something was very wrong - you check back the photos! Harry made an interesting comment that Archie had changed a lot in 2 weeks when asked about him at the birth interview he did near a stables - was that a big oooopsie moment from him and Archificial was born 2 weeks prior? The birth and the laughing gas, the pizzas/Nandos etc all seem very weird for a first time Mom in her late 30's! Then an epidural and allowed home early????
She made a mockery of pregnancy….never mentioned morning sickness or fatigue, no talking about the moving of the baby, heartburn, swelling of ankles….unreal. No one who has given birth agrees with “the story” !
Και ειδικά από όσο έχουμε γνωρίσει την Μέγκαν με την αγάπη για δημοσιότητα, αν υπήρχε εγκυμοσύνη θα είχε δείξει στον κόσμο ακόμη και τις φωτό από τους υπερήχους με το έμβρυο!
Thank you for a great analysis. This is a very interesting and controversial topic. I listen to Lacy C channel. She is often asked to express her opinion on the subject. She never responds directly. I believe it is due to the legal reasons. Based on her comments, I would say that she leans towards not believing that Markle was pregnant. One example that is brought up again and again is that Markle was able to crouch to the fullest while being heavily "pregnant". Lacy C also talked about the Royal birth announcement text nuances that might allude that Markle was not Archie's physical mother. I agree with Tom Bower's point that the reason behind the top secrecy was commercial in nature. In addition, I feel that Markle has no issue with constant lying; this would be just another example of a lie that very few people, except narcissists, would attempt to pull of on such a global scale.
But she has never tried to merch the kids. So that reason doesn't wash. Not even in her new online 'shop' - no baby products or clothes which could be big sellers for mums
Squatting the way she did with legs together was very suspicious. There's a video on youtube that showed her walking and tummy was moving and swaying back and forth like jello. This looked very odd. I hope that the royal family will get to the bottom of this. Best wishes with your channel, so glad we found you.
Not just holding the belly. There are photos and/or video of a) a dropping bump (purple red clothing), b) a bump swinging & bouncing unnaturally from side to side (black & white dress/black jacket), c) pregnancy pillow pushed into rectangular shape (by too tight floral dress @ retired theatre people's home), d) huge moon bump chronologically BEFORE much smaller one in same outfit (ivory dress/coat), e) lumpiness formed in silicone moon bump (beige formal dress in morocco), f) a couple of photos where bump is projecting outward unnaturally at almost sternum level. And the RF has been putting out fires regarding pregnancy and succession/inheritance in the aristocracy and RF.
A rarity but Lady C is incorrect that there were questions about the truth of Markle’s pregnancy of at least when it started, as it start WAY before the award show and it is narrowed down to the night the Harkles attended a state dinner on their Australian tour, the night Markle wore the controversial blood diamond earrings gifted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and wore a blue dress. It was within a week since the couple announced the pregnancy at Princess Eugenie’s wedding in late October, and Archie is born May 6, Markle was showing a little pudge but that night she looked like she was 5 months pregnant, not just under 3 months that she should have been. The sizeable bump was commented all over social media that out of all the pregnancies in public, this one event there just happened to be a released article of a supposed doctor defusing the topic to say it was normal for a pregnant woman to suddenly fluctuate while her baby was growing in her womb. That was the moment a lot of people caught on there was something fishy about the pregnancy, and it just got worse over time thanks to Markle’s demeanor, the award show was tacky but it did support those who believe the pregnancy was a hoax. Now the birth of Archie and how the couple handled it is what set it for me personally, this was not a couple who wanted to have their moment alone, Markle wants the world to eat out of her palms for goodness sake! The disfunction of communication on their part shows they were hiding something, further cemented they didn’t bother to have any signatures to confirm Archie came directly from Markle herself. As it’s now a joke, but this couple had shown from the beginning they don’t want privacy, they want to keep their secrets from being revealed. I cannot say exactly what I think happened, but I do know that this is too fallacious to ever consider any of the Harkle children in the line of succession. They have nothing to verify that these children are theirs but by their own words that have been nothing but lies for the past 5-6 years straight.
Being someone who has grown up with books, loves reading books, loves all things books……I love your channel! Thanks for taking the time to do your videos. I really enjoy them all.
There was also that time that she squatted down while heavily pregnant and wearing stilettos. People were saying it wouldn't be possible to do that without falling over 🤔🤷🏼♀️. One has to have a chuckle when people have conspiracy theories about your books on a shelf😂😂, it must be bedlam in some people's minds🤯
I'm so glad I found your channel! Though I am disappointed you aren't sending super secret codes via your bookshelves. You are a voice of reason in the miry clay. Thank you.
Hmmm ... I can see loads of clues on those bookshelves! LOL - loved your post, Susan. This is totally what we all look for on back-scene bookshelves these days, isn't it??
As a bibliophile I love seeing all your old books. Like you I feel there’s something Shakespearean about the H&M saga, tragedy rather than comedy. And I love that you read and analyse all the books for me, thank you.
What about the photograph of MM in the red coat and purple dress looking down at her feet and there is a moon bump around here ankles ? H is looking at it too!
I will never understand why, if they were going to fake a pregnancy, they couldn't afford a pregnancy belt. Then, she wouldn't have had to hold her moonbump all the time to keep it from falling. . . ?
Love your take on things Mehan & Harry! Done with humour and self-deprecation. Both of which are sadly lacking in today's 'Me! Me! Me!, Narcisistic world.
Keep up the great work! Anyone who says you are just doing this for the views hasn't watched you for 5 minutes. Your interest and enthusiasm for the subject come through loud and clear on the screen. Personally, I'm happy to give you my views and pay you for your time reviewing this stuff. I wish you great success.
I now see the scheming of Meghan not following royal protocol concerning Archie’s birth and her deal w/ American media CBS. In retrospect, that was a huge signal of her return to Hollywood.
Remember Lady C’s book was a while back and I think she held punches that she perhaps wouldn’t now given how they’ve behaved over the intervening years.
@@thevintageread true. Tell me what did you think of the last few chapters in Lady C’s book? I’d never have the guts to say it to her face but I thought they were an editorial mess, possibly dashed off in a hurry...
There are many reasons why people question the circumstances of Arches birth. 1. The seemingly ever-changing inconsistent size of the bump. 2. The constant need to touch said bump. 3. The visit to Liverpool where MM pictured in red and purple coat ensemble and high heels, not only squatted and got back up without any assistance, but also when it appeared that something had gone awry and slipped. 4. The secrecy around when she was actually in labour, where she was actually giving birth, who attended the birth et cetera. 5. The wording of the palace announcement was different from other births. It made no mention of her being delivered of a child of her body. There are people that question how it’s possible that Archie should therefore be included in the line of succession without clear evidence that he was born to MM, rather than a surrogate. There is no procedure for this in place, in the past it has been sufficient to accept the word of the parents, unfortunately we now know that both parents appear to have a very distant relationship with the truth. In addition in the UK we have a “super injunction” , this is a legal mechanism often employed by wealthy people to stop journalists the public et cetera in probing into certain topics. It is difficult to know what or who is subject to a super injunction as it is all top-secret, There has been speculation that these two have such an injunction in place which would prevent anyone from presenting “facts“ which may be pertinent to this topic, who knows? Both authors are VERY aware of what can be said/written legally, that Revenge doesn’t mention it at all & Lady C references the issues their secrecy caused…speaks volumes. The rules around royal births are very clear and are there for a very good reason, in our history we have had a number of stories around “warming pan births“, So this idea is nothing new, however given the speculation around Harry’s birth and parentage one would’ve thought he would’ve taken care not to burden his own son with this type of speculation.
@@desleighfisher980 Technically there still is. …by the doctors in attendance. The birth announcement is posted on the gates of Buck. Palace IArchie’s announcement didn’t state “born of the body” AND it wasn’t signed.
I’m happy to have found you. I love how your personality comes out when you tell a story. You so obviously research, compare, and analyze each story you tell. And you find different points or different views. And the length of your podcasts is spot on - long enough to tell the story but not so long that I can’t listen to it all in a sitting. I must say I’m envious of you. A vintage bookshop was my dream. Ahh, but when I was young like you, we women didn’t know we could make our dreams come true. We just went along. Anyway - I love books. I love to hold them, smell them, organize them and yes read them 🤗 Thank you for doing what you do 😊
It is intriguing indeed! Although I can't be totally sure, the fact that Meghan's bump could jiggle was an indicator for me that she wasn't really pregnant, or at the very least "enhanced" her bump. A true baby bump doesn't jiggle. A baby can move around (and I had a couple that made themselves stick out to the side) but doesn't loosely jump up and down.
I loved seeing those old book covers as they brought back memories of books and annuals I received , mostly as a child in Scotland prior to our family moving here to Australia. I developed a love of reading, if we could not be outside for any reason, and still love reading to this day. Some people look for duplicity in everything. Thank goodness for your honesty.🎉
You are so right about reading alone, and not having someone to talk it over with. I love these chants. Don't let the old scolds get you down. They will rain on anyone who seems cheerful and enjoying something.
I appreciate you recognize the Shakespearean aspect of all this. This whole saga has really helped me view historical scandals with a little more understanding. What disappoints (but doesn't surprise) me, is Harry should have understood the historical importance of proving his children are validly in the lone of succession. I don't know what to think about the birth drama, because the arguments are intriguing. But I do know H &M couldn't have made it look worse if they tried.
Just keep going with your channel and what you’re doing! It’s very interesting to hear someone very intelligent and well balanced cover these subjects!
I appreciate that you just comment on the content of the books you are reviewing for an unbiased critique. I'm on Team Surrogate/no baby because births in the UK are registered by the parents, not by the hospital, so the birth information is whatever the clerk was told. Lady C has always said that Meghan is very clever and found a loophole to use to her advantage (as usual!). She also mentioned the 'incident in Birkenhead' that Meghan hoped wasn't reported on, which seems to be the famous picture of the bump at the bottom of her purple dress. Meghan would be perfectly aware that a child not 'born of the body' would not inherit or be placed on the LOS so would use every trick in the book to ensure any child(ren) would be considered legitimate. That's part of the reason Meaghan kept flicking her coats open and fondling the bump. She knew what was going on and flaunted it - BP has to accept whatever they have been told....so far. Then there's the Lili situation.....
Everything She does is for attention, she's loving the speculation, and Tom's right $$$. Really ejoy your review and down to earth no nonsense style. 👏.
I’m feeling rather surprised and disappointed that this live video was so short! I love your style and l suppose l was expecting great things! I had programmed the start signal which l never received ( l’m in Spain ) and l just watched the replay. Started and finished in what seemed like 3 minutes at the most! Did anyone else have this experience? Anyway, whatever- l look forward to the next one!
I think there is a lot more than meets the eye regarding 'Bump-gate'. These two con artists are always operating in the shadows and creating intrigue etc. I love looking at your book shelves, they are very interesting.
Your standards in journalism are outstanding, I wish others could learn from you. Fantastic analysis without projection, a rare thing in the media these days.
ATTENTION... ATTENTION! I'm thinking that the girl will show up at the Coronation wearing her moonbump. Afterall, the girl went underground for a while, so that was the perfect time to get education, be fitted for moonbump and giving specifics to Special Effects Makeup Artist and Rent-A-Child. This is my first time watching you. Enjoyed your analysis.
I am enjoying your channel and played catch up for a while. You are delightful. I saw pictures of Meghan in a purple dress with a reddish coat. The pictures showed the baby bump slipping. Was that just photo shopped? I have questions.
Nope, not photoshopped. It’s one of the events that has caused the most uproar and suspicions about it! She came in w a bump huge and right under her chest, she flicked her coat throughout the whole event trying to push it back so the photographers would photograph her bump in every single pic, then came out w no bump under her bust and a loose dress where as it was tighter before and something sliding down from her stomach to her knees!!!!
As a midwife, I knew something was iffy when she crouched down, with her knees together, wearing stilettos far on in the pregnancy. Also, the size of the bump fluctuated enough to raise an observer’s eyebrow.
The children shouldn't be allowed in the line of succession without verification imho, as a Brit this is all too controlled by H&M and shouldn't be allowed. I'm of the belief that it will all come out in the wash but did it really have to get this far?
You are a natural storyteller so please do keep it up. Tom Bower is an astute source. I think it fits with other observations he made, basically suggesting Meghan took what was a service role deferring to the Crown and flipped it into a Hollywood cash cow - ugh. 😅
You are SUCH a delight! I do enjoy your clear & direct storytelling, your spirited animation is captivating without taking the spotlight off your topic. Thank you! I am one of your fans who did wonder about your bookshelves' arrangements (NOT any snarky nefarious curiosity) but because yours is an intriguing backdrop to YOU. Please keep doing what & who you do your wonderful reviews & opinions! 😎
I made up my mind that it was all fake when she bent down knees together with 4 inch heels when 7-8 months pregnant! Iv had 3 children and I was fit and in my late 20s early 30s and no way can you possibly do that!
Well, no one has *ever* said that Rachel is bright . . . If she had been, she would have researched "pregnancy and all that it entails", followed the directions, and created as many of the physical symptoms as possible, acted accordingly, (morning sickness etc.) as it were. But no, she is stupid enough to believe she could do the absolute minimum and get away with that.
Just came across your channel. Thank you for very sensible and intellectual discussions. Please don't apologise for any of your comments or book displays. You appear to be a very open and honest woman with no hidden agenda. Your book displays are attractively displayed and add colour and warmth.
Enjoying your videos very much. I’m in South Australia. Really appreciate you not putting your own opinions in the forefront but just giving all sides of the various stories and rumours.
This video has prompted a lot of spirited debate! Like I said in the vid, a Shakespearian Drama of the highest order 😅My purpose was to cover what two authors have published to date on the subject. I am not a shock and awe channel however I do show my reaction to the written word often! I try not to speculate unnecessarily..., especially on serious subjects. Many were disappointed "I" didn't include material that is out on the internet? What I think isn't really the focus of this video. I know that all my viewers are capable of doing their own research and forming their own opinions so there is no need for me to ever convince anyone of anything. I presented what I have found published in books and I leave you to investigate further if you wish 🙂 I value you all and I appreciate your thoughtful comments so much!
Thank you for your sensible approach to the matter. I for myself can say, that I found the „touching of her belly“ very off putting and annoying at the time, without having any real interest in the two (Harry and his wife) at the time. Actually non whatsoever. But this odd and repeated behavior even caught my attention. What it probably comes down to, more than anything, is that all of these shananigans say more about her narcissism and all that comes with that, than anything else. She probably wants to create „intrigue and mystery“ in order to control and manipulate the issue(s)to her (financial) advantage. Greed is a powerful motivator.
Whether intentional or not, your comments in the context of discussing the books contribute to the gaslighting. You perpetuate the hoax that there was a pregnancy and that a child was born, that medical practitioners were involved when there were none and that a baby was presented to the media when it was a doll that was actually presented.
@@What_I_Think_Happened that is not what she is doing
@Sws… what she is doing is giving a review on what two different authors have written in their books. Which is why I’m here to hear, to hear the reviews on this tow books.
@@What_I_Think_Happened wtf?
That's NOT what she's saying.
Get a grip! 🙄🙄🙄
When Harry talked about Meg miscarried at hospital and then the nurses gave Harry the miscarried fetus in a brown bag so he went a found a special tree for burial. That's a crock. No hospital would ever do that
And sucking down all the nitrous oxide when MM was supposedly in labor? Really??
Absolutely. It's against the law in the USA.
They live in a fantasy world of their own making.
We actually saw something fall 2 times one to her knees
ME-gain looked pregnant with Archie gaining weight in her face and other areas. However if they used a surrogate it would most likely have been for Lilibet. Surrogacy would have been easier in the U.S… plus she really wasn’t in the public eye during that time making it easier to hide the fact she wasn’t pregnant herself.
I am not a conspiracy theorist but I was a midwife. I have never seen bumps change shape so quickly often in the same photo shoot, seen a woman so obsessive about cradling her bump or able le to squat in high heels with her knees together when heavily pregnant. also Markles centre of balance was completely wrong for someone purporting to have a large bump. so there is something very strange indeed about it all
Yes I take your point.
But if she was wearing a fake bump, how could she crouch with her knees together? What I’m saying is, a bump is a bump. I’m obese and I can’t crouch (and prefer not to sit) with my knees together.
@@GradKat because a baby is hard and takes up all available space in the abdomen particularly in the 3rd trimester..it’s why women need to pee more frequently their bladders don’t have as much room to expand, the baby cannot be squashed and moved out of the way.
moon bump is external and softer, lighter and can be squashed.
I don’t know what was happening but it’s all very odd and suspicious.
@@GradKat Because a fake bump is foam and flexible; a true pregnancy is hard and movement becomes very difficult.
@@GradKat. Moonbump are not part of the muscle structure of the body. Monbumps don't have any relationship with the muscles around the womb, so won't be affected by any movement. the moonbump sits in front of the body, held in place by appropriately placed strapping. Which obviously failed when she and he made an official royal visit to Birkenhead - archie fell down to her knees! Umbilical cord? Or bungee cord? Pictures on youtube - meg in red coat and purple dress.
Purple dress, red coat.... it dropped to her knees. How does that happen? She even thought it was funny.H&M are major grifters. I’m not buying it. No kids.
No, there certainly are not.
Yes - it is the picture of the bump at her knees in this dress for me.
I didn't think about it or care about it until I saw the pictures in the purple dress/red coat.. You can't unsee that bump around her knees.
Watch the footage of when they showed the baby at the palace where Harry says 2 weeks and Megan says 2 days. But she has never spoken about her pregnancy how she felt etc. Very odd
It's a shame the Duke of Edinburgh didn't make a joke that it was Mummified Archie and could we see he has 10 fingers and 10 toes.
If she had really given birth she would have been on those hospital steps like a greyhound chasing a rabbit.
That's right! She would have loved to have been photographed where Catherine was photographed after her birth experience! Spare needs to be the same as big brother after all!
@@corra7 Harry was very careful to say that we have our baby Son. Not that Megan have birth which is the natural thing to say. She would of had a spread in a magazine showing off that bare bump. The plot thickens 🤔
I heard he had the baby’s DNA done 2ce always wondered why.
I ask you. How in the world was the Royal Family supposed to deal with this psycopathic debacle?? Its all beyond sanity, isn't it???
When we all saw how she used the wedding ceremony as a way to ingratiate herself with the actor celebrities with great fame who she had never even met ,then is was a sign we willfully ignored of the way she perceived what the royal family was about . She didn’t understand or care , it was a vehicle for her to promote herself and hijack the privileges and respect they are given without ever subscribing to the traditions and role expected of her and them as a family . We ignored it because we fell for the doe eyed looks she gave her husband and all hoped the best for him , naively . When we saw the raving madman “ minister” she and her mother , the sole family member, invited to speak at the wedding we all saw the insanity and massive gap in culture .now we were entering Los Angeles culture ,,what a shock to see ours depraved so badly by a woman on the make .,I half expected to see the minister start dancing to “ Sex Machine “ by James Brown and say “ I just gotta dance now “ as he grooved down the aisle on the way out of the church . Ludicrous and surreal and the sign of the tabloid , Oprah style , exploitation culture to come . We used to deal with monarchical families who betrayed the role and people in a very definite way !
Looking at their faces at the ceremony I think most were as appalled as we were watching on the tv . What could they do though ?caught 8n a PR international scandal and smearing campaign if they acted to do anything to deter him from marrying her , which they were to face anyway as her way to sell,their story , even without 3vidence amd the actual events proving the opposite being done to prove her smears were without any justification ? If it were a film people,would think it too ludicrous to be true . A barely successful,actress , yacht girl “”party girl” ,escort to the rich and famous who connived her way into access to the royal family , not for the first Prince she met but a younger one , a dubious pregnancy , and then gone to the USA to be on Oprah and a life of the shopping channel .,it’s insane !
@saudade369 "If it were a film people would think it too ludicrous to be true". Exactly.
Have to say I didn’t go around holding my pregnant tummy and I never saw my friends do it either. I guess we knew our tummies weren’t going to fall to our knees!😂😂
Me neither😅😅😅
Nor me!!! 😂
No, i never went around hugging ,, wearing skin tight dresses to show off. Vulgar i thought. Absolutely no modesty, that,s why jt was all fake.
lol ikr
I absolutely don't agree she was ever pregnant. Her belly was different sizes on different days. Often different sizes on the same day. What about when the bump fell down past her knees? Remember when, at almost full term, she did a deep squat in high heels & needed no help to stand up again. Unborn babies don't conveniently move to one side so you can squat. Anatomy doesn't work that way. I've always been very slim & had 2 babies in my 20s, not middle aged as she was. I can tell you, my baby bumps got bigger month by month, not up & down on sometimes an hourly basis. Neither did my babies conveniently get out of the way if I wanted to squat. Not that I could have, even if I wanted to. So much more I could say, but, NO she was never pregnant. Love your vids. Your lovely accent brings back fond memories of the 5 yrs it was my privilege to live & work in Sydney. It was bonzer.
I'm so happy I found your channel. 🇨🇦 I'm in the camp that believes that MM was never pregnant. I am a retired Labour and Delivery nurse (30 years!) And have never seen a pregnant woman whose "bump" changed/moved so very much. In fact, I was at a play recently and the woman beside me (a member of our group) was very pregnant. Even though she was quite a slim woman, and someone I knew to be quite active, when she sat, her legs were quite far apart. I asked her if she would be able to sit with her legs together and she said no, there wouldn't be any place for the baby to go. It reminded me of MM squatting with her legs together. Funny it should occur this past weekend and brought MM to my mind.
I agree - she was never pregnant, it is important the the British people have proof that a future monarch really is entitled to the role, and to date we have no such proof that any children of H and M are. Tom Bower also refers to the Queen and Philip 'looking at a shawl', there are legal reasons and also repercussions as to why the circumstances of a child's birth cannot be revealed until they choose to or the parents do.
I've heard so many medical professionals with years of real-life experience come to the same conclusion as you. I was skeptical from the start when she conveniently fell pregnant so quickly at her age. Also, at the first photo shoot with Archie, H says "He's changed a lot in 2 weeks" There definitely was a surrogate involved.
@@sueking2206 that's what I said right away!! Instead of showing us pictures of the baby (which, in spite of the Sussexes' claims, people and reporters DID ask for!), we were shown pictures of people (as you say, the Queen, Prince Philip and others) looking at a bundle of swaddling cloths that may or may not have contained a baby. I even took one of my baby blankets and rolled it up loosely (my youngest "baby" is 12 years old, so empty blanket only!) - I managed to achieve/copy that exact look. Someone try to convince me otherwise. 🤨
May anyone explain why the queen and prince Philip were dressed and standing the same way in Megan's photo like they are when looking at a new born fowl.
Alo Tom Bower says they were looking at a shawl. ( that statement t felt loaded
Nurse, if you seen me in the picture being pregnant (with my second son) sat down on the sofa with two dogs and my other son. Big bump on my 5'2 height. My legs could not reach to each other. I had to get help get up sometimes from too soft sofa.
Mum of five here, never had a bump that deflated and re inflated.
I have friends who are retired midwives and they all agreed that Meghans bump was the wrong size and in the wrong position for the term of the pregnancy. In addition there are photos that the size of the bump appeared to change according to the occasion.
She was always 8 months size. , and never dropped pre birth. Always high up to hug her belly.
I found it difficult to undersrand how she could squat down in high heels being apparently very pregnant. I also found some of the photos of her on the same day in the same outfit with different sized bumps.
Yes I mentioned the wrong size at the wrong time thing Lady C mentions that.
Lady C is being very careful not to commit herself, which means there is at very least doubt in her mind, but it is more likely for legal reasons.
Don't forget the one where the bump slid to her knees. 😯
Or swung from side to side as she walked. 😮
@@rye4881 Yes! In purple coat and red dress! Lol!
If there are children. They are NOT Meg's.
I do not believe they are Harry's either
They are not har and mm 's biological children, no way, mm would not to gain ,weight , just for a child she is not motherly, not in a million years !×
She had a hysterectomy at 27yrs old. No kids.
@@sandrapeele7965they are rentals
Princess Anne recently said that no one in the RF has ever seen or met the children. At same time, I never believed that the Queen would meet Archie wearing a cardigan. She and Philip had attended a horse show that day and were wearing the same clothes. I always believed the photo was photo shopped, similar to the christening photo.
Where is your source for Princeess Anne's comment?
BP would never allow a fake photo to be released, and they did release it.
@@Rossiegirl Fast forward to April 2024…..Kate and her photoshopped picture 😂
@dnr2089 photoshopped, not completely faked. For the record I don't believe MM faked her pregnancies.
@@dnr2089Photoshopped but real family.
I think if she had had a baby, for real, she would have gushed about it, none stop, books, interviews, podcasts, everything. What have we had.......' Silence'
Good point!
With the way they seek attention? No question about it! 😅
Just add "no gushing" to "no swelling", "no increased breast size", "no loss of balance", "no cravings (that we heard of) and on and on and . . . Rachel has one child, a girl who, I believe, lives in NY but she was never pregnant after marrying TO.
Yes i agree
@@barbouraculleton5210 Oh, you poor people . . . you need to develop interests in life, and not waste it foaming over TO & TOW. They are a waste of your precious time.
No one, at least no one normal, holds their bump all the time and in such demonstrative way!
She wanted as much attention as humanly possible and used her bump like she uses everything and everyone for her narcissistic ego.
Everywhere she went, she was holding her belly, or pushing her belly out for all to see.
Because there has been so much speculation about Archie, you’d think that the actual midwifery staff and consultant who was present at the birth would come out and make a statement to say that yes, she was pregnant, went into Labour, and delivered the child called Archie from her own body. I’ve seen nothing about this, and as for lilli, has anyone actually even seen her.
No! No one has seen Invisibet/Lillibucks out and about, or anywhere. There was that one dodgy photo where she appeared to have no legs, but looked like a little puff set down on the grass. It was also said to be a picture of someone else's baby. One other so-called photo of her showed MM holding "a baby", but MM looked to be at least 5 years younger.
@@ferociousgumby I agree, the photo of her holding a baby with a cot in the background was said to be the child she had with her first husband, whose parents had the marriage annulled after a month, and who bought up the child. The ‘first birthday’ photo was definitely photoshopped. The child had no legs, and seemed to be hovering above the grass 😳
There have been 2 children by the names of "Archie" and "Diana Maria" aka Lillibet.
Both chidren were born of surrogates.
Diana Maria has been remanded by California courts and Child Protective Services to the custody of her surrogate birth mother.
Archie has just disappeared. Eugenie and staff found Archie's real birth certificate under a mattress at Frogmore Cottage when the staff was packing up Harry and Meghan's things to ship to California. It was reported that Archie's real father had been notified of Archie's existence. And the real father wants Archie.
Now Princess Anne and Camilla both have found children at homeless shelter and orphanage that look like Archie. The child Princess Anne found had just been put on the new homeless shelters steps on the Monday evening, Harry had returned to the UK. I'm sure Anne will make sure of that child's history.
there is a picture of her for the her first birthday
@@katjaxxx7353 I don't believe it's her. There is another one in b & w that was also supposed to be Lili at the same age, but MM looked at LEAST 5 years younger, with lighter skin (of course). I have to say, though you're never supposed to say this, that was one ugly baby.
Quite often, when Lady C is talking about the "pregnancy", she reaches for the nearest pillow...
I always laugh when she does that. 😅😅😅😅😅
Lady C: "meghnancy" not pregnancy
Ahhhhhh. Thank you for my daily dose of intelligence. No need to explain yourself to people. Plenty of folks out here who appreciate what you’re doing. Just keep being awesome. ❤🙋♀️🇺🇸

How can these children be given titles when their births aren't authenticated?
Exactly , evidence is historically and culturally essential for any monarchical system , otherwise they have no legitimacy at all and titles are fraudulent .
Great question!!!!
💯 random children can't just pop into the line of succession 🙃
@@MinsHome361 Really ! Perhaps,look,at the historical record and learn much about the heritage of This Duck and learn the doubts , look at the photos of his “ rumoured “ real father and him , look at the interviews with him and the affairs of his mother and then say that people can’t pop in to the line . Historically there has been much controversy about those in line and there are laws and traditions that demand proof of birth and parentage .we don’t just pop a crown on any random d list celebrities kids !
No they can't. They have to be born in wedlock out of her body. In the olden days when a member of the royal family was giving birth a doctor was in the room with them to make sure it came out of her body. If this was still the case how would Megzie have gotten round that one😂
Hmmm... interesting...
I wondred why MM who tried to copy Diana didn't give birth at St. Mary's, too.
Good point!
She didn't have anything to give birth to.
science wins
.... because there was NO baby born from her body!
MM apparently ran up the stairs whilst on the baby shower.
Also the baby dropped to the knees and Harry looked horrified.
Not a new Royal problem. The Warming pan.
Brilliant!
Just wanted to mention that Lady C's book was published quite a few years ago, and her perspective on Meghan's pregnancies has changed quite a bit since then. Also, Lady C is very aware of the legalities of sharing her opinion about the children being from surrogates, so she's very very careful of her words, especially about this; however, she often doesn't say things directly, but still gets her thoughts across.
Smart lady.
To me, it is very very evident that she wasn’t pregnant and it’s really insulting to my intelligence when things like lady C’s book say that people thought there was a conspiracy due to her touching her belly and her being too big. That’s not true. That’s not true at all. We thought that because every single sign pointed clearly to her faking it. Then there are the people who say “well she gained weight and got swollen!” but don’t consider prolactin hormone therapy commonly given to surrogate mothers to make them product breast milk. So frustrating
You can't produce milk unless youve been pregnant, taking hormones will not work, why do you think some women have to give up breast feeding when their milk dries up
Thank you for that information. I didn’t know that. Very interesting.
I wondered about that when her face got puffy but absolutely do not believe she was ever pregnant .She won’t come over here or bring the kids because of D N A ?
Tom says "the baby is born" he never says Meghan gave birth.
And Harry's story with the laughing gas sounds like Meghan and Harry were there watching the birth
Yes I agree about the laughing gas story! VERY strange…
Same thing said about Lilly's birth.
And now the birthing centre has shut shop and disappeared. Why. .?
I distinctly remember her dancing (moon)bump back in March 2019 (on the 8th, I think, at that women's whatever panel). She was wearing a short white dress with a black pattern and cinched around the waist black blazer. Black high heels, bare legs as usual. She was rushing to shake some hands and her (moon)bump kept balancing from left to right to left and back to right again. Hilarious! That pregnancy must have been the only one in history where the woman had *0* water retention in her legs and arms. Don't start me on her left-leaning (moon)bump when they presented "Archie" to their preferred tv cable station. Whatever happened to Lord Geidt?
Now you’ve got me googling 😂
Yes that was a dead giveaway, in addition to the red/purple belly drop!
@@vanessapitt9886 That one tells me something seriously was wrong and I don't understand how she was not hauled over the coals for it! She went in with bump under her bust and came out with a weird sagging around her knees. Time to be honest with the public. Someone said she had her eggs frozen - why not be honest or if she had a surrogate be honest too, the public would forgive. She seems to want to come across as miss "Perfect" the miscarriage episode seems bizarre when the hospital let her go out with " foetus" in a box and they buried it????? Hospitals would not do that for sure with wild animals and risk of spreading bacteria etc.
@@lisakeell7343 The moonbump fell and she just walked around with it at her knees rather than thinking "Oh no!" and picking it up instantly? And "The public would forgive" Have you not read the comments?
@@lisakeell7343 If they admitted that, it would mean no line of succession and no titles.
Hellooo fellow Aussie👋🏼 so great to have such a sensible voice talking about these books and the rather bizarre issues that have arisen around the Sussex’s! As they say in the classics truth is stranger than fiction and never was this more aptly expressed & illustrated as on this channel! Love how you so expertly draw such intriguing parallels! Please keep going… it’s fascinating 😅👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey! Thanks for the kind words & watching!
Please continue to review these books. I like the take you have on the content.
Lady C commented on the disparities in the birth announcement and no current birth certificate for public view 🤷♀️ and the red purple dress occasion when something fell down to her knees 🤣😂🤣😂🤷♀️Long live the King 💕🇬🇧🏴
Does the BRF usually display the birth certificate also?
Goodness what a breath of fresh air for book reviews. You make it so interesting. I always look forward to them. Great job!
Oh thank you!
Agreed!
I have been calling this a story Shakespeare would have loved to have written! You put this story into an understandable perspective. I enjoy your reviews very much. 🇨🇦🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it!
We all will see if it turn out to be a Shakespearean tragedy or comedy…a bit of both, methinks.
I'm currently reading lady C's book and the biggest issue was that it was only one month between the Aussie tour where Megan was barely showing and her appearance at that fashion event where she looked like she was going to give birth any day. Nobody grows that much in one month.
Exactly. Nutmeg should have read up on pregnancy. But her being a narcissist, she always thinks she is right 🙄🙄🙄🏴🇬🇧
CBS didn't even show the child's face. As supposedly this child is in the line of succession, he should have been shared with the UK press, also.
Totally against, not only royal protocol; but a planned snub to the country that gave them their wealth and royal privilege. Harry thinks he can twist his father around his little finger. He doesn't (he is not very bright) understand that his father, now the King, is not omnipotent. It is us the British people, that allows their existence. It suits us to have a stable, titular, Head of State; it gives consistency. It is conditional that they cannot be involved in politics or commerce. They exist with our permission. H&M will live to rue the day... They have constantly played the "privacy game" whilst abusing both their families, and the people of the UK. We will never have them back.
This is quickly becoming my favourite TH-cam channel - love the balanced and intelligent perspective you bring - and that you dive into the books. I'm in Canada, and we use British spelling too -- and I chuckled at your preemptive explanation. The constant emphasis on the pregnant belly for the cameras is very Hollywood - that's how I saw it. Its all about 'look at me!!'.
Or how about ‘being pregnant’ but still going to the Fiji Islands where Zika virus was quite rampant at the time. What OB/GYN wouldn’t freak out over that?
Sometimes you use English spelling. I've witnessed that first hand on two visits to Canada
@@cockneydoll yes - we tend to flip back and forth. Us older folks tend more to use the British.
I laughed out loud about the “u”. 🇨🇦
Yes,I agree. Pulling back her coat to show her belly, same look at me objective.
What REALLY started the surrogacy rumours was her visit to the old folk's home in what has come to be known as the "giraffe" dress. Videos and photos of her at that event clearly demonstrated that the "bump" had corners which is completely unnatural. It appeared she had a pillow or similar shape under her clothing.
It liked very odd, didn’t it? 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😅😅😅😅
And a square bump that should have been round!!! Man, her bump looks so weird and unnatural in those pics and videos!
@@twinkletoes6290 and always in too tight dresses.
more likely a cushion
Yes, I noticed those strange 'corners,' which were completely peculiar.
The fact that Megan didn't take an opportunity for a photo call on the steps of the hospital on both occasions of her 2 pregnancy's smells of something odd. This is something Megan wouldn't pass up unless there was no birth {from her body} and no hospital stay
Exactly. Used a doll for photos with queen and prince phillip
What about the photo of Meghan going into a meeting in a red coat and purple dress, bump up under her bust, then she comes out of the meeting with a weird sagging bump near her knees!! That to me shows something was very wrong - you check back the photos! Harry made an interesting comment that Archie had changed a lot in 2 weeks when asked about him at the birth interview he did near a stables - was that a big oooopsie moment from him and Archificial was born 2 weeks prior? The birth and the laughing gas, the pizzas/Nandos etc all seem very weird for a first time Mom in her late 30's! Then an epidural and allowed home early????
She made a mockery of pregnancy….never mentioned morning sickness or fatigue, no talking about the moving of the baby, heartburn, swelling of ankles….unreal. No one who has given birth agrees with “the story” !
Και ειδικά από όσο έχουμε γνωρίσει την Μέγκαν με την αγάπη για δημοσιότητα, αν υπήρχε εγκυμοσύνη θα είχε δείξει στον κόσμο ακόμη και τις φωτό από τους υπερήχους με το έμβρυο!
Love Lady C, she’s wicked in the nicest possible way!❤
You are fabulous!!! I always look forward to your view on these books. You are so fair minded and well spoken.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for a great analysis. This is a very interesting and controversial topic. I listen to Lacy C channel. She is often asked to express her opinion on the subject. She never responds directly. I believe it is due to the legal reasons. Based on her comments, I would say that she leans towards not believing that Markle was pregnant. One example that is brought up again and again is that Markle was able to crouch to the fullest while being heavily "pregnant". Lacy C also talked about the Royal birth announcement text nuances that might allude that Markle was not Archie's physical mother. I agree with Tom Bower's point that the reason behind the top secrecy was commercial in nature. In addition, I feel that Markle has no issue with constant lying; this would be just another example of a lie that very few people, except narcissists, would attempt to pull of on such a global scale.
But she has never tried to merch the kids. So that reason doesn't wash. Not even in her new online 'shop' - no baby products or clothes which could be big sellers for mums
Squatting the way she did with legs together was very suspicious. There's a video on youtube that showed her walking and tummy was moving and swaying back and forth like jello. This looked very odd. I hope that the royal family will get to the bottom of this. Best wishes with your channel, so glad we found you.
Not just holding the belly. There are photos and/or video of a) a dropping bump (purple red clothing), b) a bump swinging & bouncing unnaturally from side to side (black & white dress/black jacket), c) pregnancy pillow pushed into rectangular shape (by too tight floral dress @ retired theatre people's home), d) huge moon bump chronologically BEFORE much smaller one in same outfit (ivory dress/coat), e) lumpiness formed in silicone moon bump (beige formal dress in morocco), f) a couple of photos where bump is projecting outward unnaturally at almost sternum level. And the RF has been putting out fires regarding pregnancy and succession/inheritance in the aristocracy and RF.
I loved this video. I'm a bit late to the party but you never disappoint! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Snap - I too am late to this party too - better late than never though 😊
Greetings from Yorkshire England 🏴
A rarity but Lady C is incorrect that there were questions about the truth of Markle’s pregnancy of at least when it started, as it start WAY before the award show and it is narrowed down to the night the Harkles attended a state dinner on their Australian tour, the night Markle wore the controversial blood diamond earrings gifted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and wore a blue dress. It was within a week since the couple announced the pregnancy at Princess Eugenie’s wedding in late October, and Archie is born May 6, Markle was showing a little pudge but that night she looked like she was 5 months pregnant, not just under 3 months that she should have been. The sizeable bump was commented all over social media that out of all the pregnancies in public, this one event there just happened to be a released article of a supposed doctor defusing the topic to say it was normal for a pregnant woman to suddenly fluctuate while her baby was growing in her womb. That was the moment a lot of people caught on there was something fishy about the pregnancy, and it just got worse over time thanks to Markle’s demeanor, the award show was tacky but it did support those who believe the pregnancy was a hoax.
Now the birth of Archie and how the couple handled it is what set it for me personally, this was not a couple who wanted to have their moment alone, Markle wants the world to eat out of her palms for goodness sake! The disfunction of communication on their part shows they were hiding something, further cemented they didn’t bother to have any signatures to confirm Archie came directly from Markle herself. As it’s now a joke, but this couple had shown from the beginning they don’t want privacy, they want to keep their secrets from being revealed. I cannot say exactly what I think happened, but I do know that this is too fallacious to ever consider any of the Harkle children in the line of succession. They have nothing to verify that these children are theirs but by their own words that have been nothing but lies for the past 5-6 years straight.
100%!!! Yes, yes, yes to everything you say!!!!
Apparently archie lives with his biological mother in UK. That,s why harry says he wants to buy a house in UK. Sounds fishy.
Being someone who has grown up with books, loves reading books, loves all things books……I love your channel! Thanks for taking the time to do your videos. I really enjoy them all.
I thought the Queen had already told them they couldn't monetize the Monarchy? I don't understand why they went along with it.
There was also that time that she squatted down while heavily pregnant and wearing stilettos. People were saying it wouldn't be possible to do that without falling over 🤔🤷🏼♀️. One has to have a chuckle when people have conspiracy theories about your books on a shelf😂😂, it must be bedlam in some people's minds🤯
😂
thats the same video where when she stands you can audibly hear the bump pop as she stood back up
I'm so glad I found your channel! Though I am disappointed you aren't sending super secret codes via your bookshelves. You are a voice of reason in the miry clay. Thank you.
😂 But am I? Maybe my denial was to through them off the scent! 🤣
Hmmm ... I can see loads of clues on those bookshelves! LOL - loved your post, Susan. This is totally what we all look for on back-scene bookshelves these days, isn't it??
As a bibliophile I love seeing all your old books. Like you I feel there’s something Shakespearean about the H&M saga, tragedy rather than comedy. And I love that you read and analyse all the books for me, thank you.
Truth always comes out. One day when Harry wakes up from his spell, he will spill everything.
He needs to stop doing drugs for that to happen
What about the photograph of MM in the red coat and purple dress looking down at her feet and there is a moon bump around here ankles ? H is looking at it too!
Round her ankles? Where did you see that!? 😂
I will never understand why, if they were going to fake a pregnancy, they couldn't afford a pregnancy belt. Then, she wouldn't have had to hold her moonbump all the time to keep it from falling. . . ?
Love your take on things Mehan & Harry! Done with humour and self-deprecation. Both of which are sadly lacking in today's 'Me! Me! Me!, Narcisistic world.
Keep up the great work! Anyone who says you are just doing this for the views hasn't watched you for 5 minutes. Your interest and enthusiasm for the subject come through loud and clear on the screen. Personally, I'm happy to give you my views and pay you for your time reviewing this stuff. I wish you great success.
Agreed! 💯
I now see the scheming of Meghan not following royal protocol concerning Archie’s birth and her deal w/ American media CBS. In retrospect, that was a huge signal of her return to Hollywood.
Remember Lady C’s book was a while back and I think she held punches that she perhaps wouldn’t now given how they’ve behaved over the intervening years.
Yes true but no-one has really gone there yet…in a published publication cleared by lawyers etc
@@thevintageread true. Tell me what did you think of the last few chapters in Lady C’s book? I’d never have the guts to say it to her face but I thought they were an editorial mess, possibly dashed off in a hurry...
I wonder if we will ever hear more about the child/children. Hmmm
There are many reasons why people question the circumstances of Arches birth. 1. The seemingly ever-changing inconsistent size of the bump. 2. The constant need to touch said bump. 3. The visit to Liverpool where MM pictured in red and purple coat ensemble and high heels, not only squatted and got back up without any assistance, but also when it appeared that something had gone awry and slipped. 4. The secrecy around when she was actually in labour, where she was actually giving birth, who attended the birth et cetera. 5. The wording of the palace announcement was different from other births. It made no mention of her being delivered of a child of her body. There are people that question how it’s possible that Archie should therefore be included in the line of succession without clear evidence that he was born to MM, rather than a surrogate. There is no procedure for this in place, in the past it has been sufficient to accept the word of the parents, unfortunately we now know that both parents appear to have a very distant relationship with the truth. In addition in the UK we have a “super injunction” , this is a legal mechanism often employed by wealthy people to stop journalists the public et cetera in probing into certain topics. It is difficult to know what or who is subject to a super injunction as it is all top-secret, There has been speculation that these two have such an injunction in place which would prevent anyone from presenting “facts“ which may be pertinent to this topic, who knows? Both authors are VERY aware of what can be said/written legally, that Revenge doesn’t mention it at all & Lady C references the issues their secrecy caused…speaks volumes. The rules around royal births are very clear and are there for a very good reason, in our history we have had a number of stories around “warming pan births“, So this idea is nothing new, however given the speculation around Harry’s birth and parentage one would’ve thought he would’ve taken care not to burden his own son with this type of speculation.
Way back there were witnesses to royal births. 😳
@@desleighfisher980 Technically there still is. …by the doctors in attendance. The birth announcement is posted on the gates of Buck. Palace IArchie’s announcement didn’t state “born of the body” AND it wasn’t signed.
I’m happy to have found you. I love how your personality comes out when you tell a story. You so obviously research, compare, and analyze each story you tell. And you find different points or different views. And the length of your podcasts is spot on - long enough to tell the story but not so long that I can’t listen to it all in a sitting.
I must say I’m envious of you. A vintage bookshop was my dream. Ahh, but when I was young like you, we women didn’t know we could make our dreams come true. We just went along. Anyway - I love books. I love to hold them, smell them, organize them and yes read them 🤗 Thank you for doing what you do 😊
What a lovely comment and so interesting!
It is intriguing indeed! Although I can't be totally sure, the fact that Meghan's bump could jiggle was an indicator for me that she wasn't really pregnant, or at the very least "enhanced" her bump. A true baby bump doesn't jiggle. A baby can move around (and I had a couple that made themselves stick out to the side) but doesn't loosely jump up and down.
I loved seeing those old book covers as they brought back memories of books and annuals I received , mostly as a child in Scotland prior to our family moving here to Australia. I developed a love of reading, if we could not be outside for any reason, and still love reading to this day. Some people look for duplicity in everything. Thank goodness for your honesty.🎉
You are so right about reading alone, and not having someone to talk it over with. I love these chants. Don't let the old scolds get you down. They will rain on anyone who seems cheerful and enjoying something.
I appreciate you recognize the Shakespearean aspect of all this. This whole saga has really helped me view historical scandals with a little more understanding.
What disappoints (but doesn't surprise) me, is Harry should have understood the historical importance of proving his children are validly in the lone of succession. I don't know what to think about the birth drama, because the arguments are intriguing. But I do know H &M couldn't have made it look worse if they tried.
Just keep going with your channel and what you’re doing! It’s very interesting to hear someone very intelligent and well balanced cover these subjects!
according to a very highly reliable source, lady c knows everything - more than that, i'm not prepared to say.
Either this is satire using the exact same wording Lady C uses or you need to stop watching her channel immediately before you morph into her.
according to one of neil sean's inside sources, i have no idea what i'm talking about - allegedly.
The palace leaking stories to the press is a complete lie according a leak from the palace
Keep going, I’m loving listening to you
I appreciate that you just comment on the content of the books you are reviewing for an unbiased critique. I'm on Team Surrogate/no baby because births in the UK are registered by the parents, not by the hospital, so the birth information is whatever the clerk was told. Lady C has always said that Meghan is very clever and found a loophole to use to her advantage (as usual!). She also mentioned the 'incident in Birkenhead' that Meghan hoped wasn't reported on, which seems to be the famous picture of the bump at the bottom of her purple dress. Meghan would be perfectly aware that a child not 'born of the body' would not inherit or be placed on the LOS so would use every trick in the book to ensure any child(ren) would be considered legitimate. That's part of the reason Meaghan kept flicking her coats open and fondling the bump. She knew what was going on and flaunted it - BP has to accept whatever they have been told....so far. Then there's the Lili situation.....
Love your storytelling and I am an appreciative listener ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Another superb report. Thumbs up all the way. Carry on !!!
Thanks, will do!
I don't understand why people are so mean to you on here. I find you entertaining and informative with no malicious intent.
@lowstone1131…Totally agree with your comment… I love the whole relaxed presentation … like being in some old bookstore up the North Shore🎉
Everything She does is for attention, she's loving the speculation, and Tom's right $$$. Really ejoy your review and down to earth no nonsense style. 👏.
I love that you are a new view on this subject❤
I’m feeling rather surprised and disappointed that this live video was so short! I love your style and l suppose l was expecting great things! I had programmed the start signal which l never received ( l’m in Spain ) and l just watched the replay. Started and finished in what seemed like 3 minutes at the most! Did anyone else have this experience? Anyway, whatever- l look forward to the next one!
The video is 9 minutes. I find videos longer than that don’t have as high retention rate. I keep them around this length.
I could listen to her all day,soothes my soul in these times❤🇺🇸
I look forward to your videos! Thank you for your knowledge. You make is so interesting and funny too!
Oh thank you!
I enjoy listening to you. You are a very lively, witty and classy lady.
I appreciate that
I think there is a lot more than meets the eye regarding 'Bump-gate'. These two con artists are always operating in the shadows and creating intrigue etc. I love looking at your book shelves, they are very interesting.
Your standards in journalism are outstanding, I wish others could learn from you. Fantastic analysis without projection, a rare thing in the media these days.
Love your videos. Yes we are all interested in this Shakespearean drama.
I live in the US. Did that first year with Meghan program by Gayle King ever air? I don't remember seeing anything about it.
No I think it was taken over by the Oprah exclusive?
That wasn't her "belly" 😉🤨 imo
I think they started lying and cannot stop. Those lies just keep rolling along gathering speed. When will it stop?😂
My stomach never deflated and made a popping sound and grew bigger as I stood up lol I am waiting for the dna of actual children.
ATTENTION... ATTENTION!
I'm thinking that the girl will show up at the Coronation wearing her moonbump. Afterall, the girl went underground for a while, so that was the perfect time to get education, be fitted for moonbump and giving specifics to Special Effects Makeup Artist and Rent-A-Child.
This is my first time watching you. Enjoyed your analysis.
I am enjoying your channel and played catch up for a while. You are delightful. I saw pictures of Meghan in a purple dress with a reddish coat. The pictures showed the baby bump slipping. Was that just photo shopped? I have questions.
Nope, not photoshopped. It’s one of the events that has caused the most uproar and suspicions about it! She came in w a bump huge and right under her chest, she flicked her coat throughout the whole event trying to push it back so the photographers would photograph her bump in every single pic, then came out w no bump under her bust and a loose dress where as it was tighter before and something sliding down from her stomach to her knees!!!!
I can't ever remember holding my baby bump....but I do remember holding my back as it ached so much 😂
As a midwife, I knew something was iffy when she crouched down, with her knees together, wearing stilettos far on in the pregnancy. Also, the size of the bump fluctuated enough to raise an observer’s eyebrow.
I find it hilarious whrn the moonbump was on her knees
Also funny that she didn't immediately pick it back up again
The children shouldn't be allowed in the line of succession without verification imho, as a Brit this is all too controlled by H&M and shouldn't be allowed. I'm of the belief that it will all come out in the wash but did it really have to get this far?
The kids are borrowed when needed.
The wife knows about the doubts of her pregnancy but they say nothing, that is very suspicious
I am sincerely waiting for the day when all this wiil come to light yo see the evidence. Cheers
You are a natural storyteller so please do keep it up. Tom Bower is an astute source. I think it fits with other observations he made, basically suggesting Meghan took what was a service role deferring to the Crown and flipped it into a Hollywood cash cow - ugh. 😅
Nice to find someone commenting who is not emotional, but fair and pragmatic, with her views. Also, you are quite funny, thank you. X:)
I find your bookshelf very fascinating and thoroughly enjoyed the light palaver, if you will. Thanks.
You are SUCH a delight! I do enjoy your clear & direct storytelling, your spirited animation is captivating without taking the spotlight off your topic. Thank you! I am one of your fans who did wonder about your bookshelves' arrangements (NOT any snarky nefarious curiosity) but because yours is an intriguing backdrop to YOU. Please keep doing what & who you do your wonderful reviews & opinions! 😎
I made up my mind that it was all fake when she bent down knees together with 4 inch heels when 7-8 months pregnant! Iv had 3 children and I was fit and in my late 20s early 30s and no way can you possibly do that!
Well, no one has *ever* said that Rachel is bright . . . If she had been, she would have researched "pregnancy and all that it entails", followed the directions, and created as many of the physical symptoms as possible, acted accordingly, (morning sickness etc.) as it were. But no, she is stupid enough to believe she could do the absolute minimum and get away with that.
The fact they didn't threaten to sue anyone fanned the flams also !
Just came across your channel. Thank you for very sensible and intellectual discussions. Please don't apologise for any of your comments or book displays. You appear to be a very open and honest woman with no hidden agenda. Your book displays are attractively displayed and add colour and warmth.
That is so kind and means a lot! Thanks 😊
First class story telling! Keep it up!
Love your channel. Thank you. 😊
Thanks for watching!
Enjoying your videos very much. I’m in South Australia. Really appreciate you not putting your own opinions in the forefront but just giving all sides of the various stories and rumours.
Thanks! That’s the aim 😉
When I saw the picture of the bump between her waist and knees, I was convinced.
