The Telegraph finally focuses on the Unsussexfuls & Misan Harriman's Photogate. The attacks on Catherine are hypocritical and disproportionate. When will media examine other past obviously botched photoshopped Sussex s with the same scrutiny? by u/wontyield

The Telegraph finally focuses on the Unsussexfuls & Misan Harriman's Photogate. 📸 🤥 📸The attacks on Catherine are hypocritical and disproportionate. When will media examine other past obviously botched photoshopped Sussex 📸s with the same scrutiny?

Archive link: https://archive.is/2024.03.13-095528/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2024/03/13/meghan-pregnancy-photo-claim-doctored-willow-tree/

The OSINT work of this sub has presented evidence of the botched edited Sussex photos for years. The media, both 🇬🇧 and 🇺🇸, have continued to ignore OBVIOUS deceit on part of the Sussexes and their minions, Liebrows Scobie and Misan Harriman. The media is complicit is Sussex 📸 scams. Major news outlets have continually propped up Sussexes lies by pushing their revisionist history via lies in articles and obviously edited images. 🕵️‍♀️

See link to Negative_Difference4's previous posts about the edited Sussex willow tree pregnancy announcement photo and other discrepancies in pinned comment.

Excerpts: One of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s own official portraits is said to have been edited with the insertion of a large willow tree.

The claim prompted accusations of hypocrisy after a source close to the Sussexes criticised the Princess of Wales, insisting that Meghan would “never” make a picture editing mistake and would have been “annihilated” for releasing a doctored family portrait.

However, an image released to accompany the announcement of Meghan’s pregnancy with her daughter Princess Lilibet on Valentine’s Day 2021 appears to have been heavily doctored, amid suggestions that a large willow tree was edited into the shot.

Mr Harriman took the picture with an iPad from his home in London and it was shared with no indication that it had been digitally altered.In 2022, he was asked during an appearance on BBC Radio 3 podcast Private Passions how he had created the photograph and admitted: “It’s amazing what you can do with technology.”

The presenter asked him: “They weren’t actually under a willow tree, they were lying outside in a meadow, weren’t they, Harry and Meghan, when you took the photograph of them?”

Mr Harriman said the image was his “most famous virtual shoot” as he described how he had used technology that allowed him to communicate with the Sussexes and tell them how to pose, before he remotely “pressed the shutter button” thousands of miles away.

‘Sussexes’ camp are hypocrites’

Angela Levin, Prince Harry’s biographer, told The Sun: “The Sussexes’ camp are huge hypocrites.”

A tree was doctored in their photograph to create a special backdrop so how dare their camp say anything about Catherine’s?”

THIS PART IS HILARIOUS!!!*🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Meghan spoke about her dislike of having certain features airbrushed out of photographs after posing for a People magazine cover in 2017.“

To this day, my pet peeve is when my skin tone is changed and my freckles are airbrushed out of a photoshoot,” she said.

😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶

There is no suggestion the Sussexes edited the photograph themselves.

A spokesman for the couple has denied commenting about the Princess’s picture. post link: https://ift.tt/gXdz5qD author: wontyield submitted: March 13, 2024 at 12:20PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

Hello! Do you have any favorite romance novels to recommend that are not YA? Thanks!

OH THE PANDORAS BOX YOUVE OPENED ANON ehem a not so exhaustive list

historical romance (this is my main genre so there's more books here)

bringing down the duke and a rogue of one's own by evie dunmore - part of a series but both can be read as stand-alones. victorian period ft suffragettes. the second one in particular is my absolute favorite. it's very Gender with an insouciant dandy and an ambitious activist leader, both lonely and stubborn.

the brothers sinister series (especially the countess conspiracy) and the turner trilogy by courtney milan - will admit i read these books a bit ago so i don't remember much of the details only to say that courtney is a brilliant romance writer so i automatically trust her any time i read her books. she makes the unromantic very romantic in a very grounded way. for example in one of the brothers sinister books, the couple has sex for the first time and it turns out to be understandably mediocre. but this becomes a starting off point that actually brings them closer together. i just love the touch of realism and imperfection she brings in a genre that's built off of heightened emotions and almost fantastical perfection in relationships.

the devil comes courting by courtney milan - separate rec because this is part of another series which i haven't fully read yet. but i just had to add this because i find it remarkably unique among the genre. the events span years (rather than the shortened time frame of most romance novels) and a large part of the courtship is epistolary. it's also interracial and does not feature a white person! (heroine is chinese and hero is black.) one of those hr books that is equally historical fiction as it is romance and explores a period that i think hasn't been touched upon as much yet.

a week to be wicked by tessa dare - the best romcom-y hr ive read! it's a zany road trip with a romance that happens so gradually it really does sneak up on you which is the best kind.

the belle of belgrave square by mimi matthews - marriage of convenience. read this recently and every plot beat was absolutely perfect. the reveals, the commitment between them, everything just made sense. nothing was extraneous.

convergence of desire by felicity niven - also marriage of convenience. I LOVE THIS HEROINE. she's on the spectrum and he has a toxic relationship to sex. he is absolutely not attracted to her in the beginning but the honesty she gives to him while she pursues her own ambitions has him absolutely at her feet by the end.

my deceitful duchess by aydra richards - nerdy virgin ass hero which is a breath of fresh air from all these alpha males. has one of the best grovels over a misunderstanding that absolutely makes sense and isn't contrived 👌👌👌

when beauty tamed the beast by eloisa james - read this a long time ago but this is the first romance book i read so i have a lot of fondness over it. a kind-of retelling of beauty and the beast. top notch banter.

suddenly you by lisa kleypas - older heroine and younger hero! virgin spinster and novelist starts a fwb relationship with her publisher. a bit dated but still a fun read.

devil in winter by lisa kleypas - oh very dated but a classic amongst the romance community. marriage of convenience. the hero sebastian is both loved and reviled (and rightfully so i think) by his readers but i just have so much fondness for evie and the way she absolutely does not give a shit about how intimidating he is.

a rogue by any other name by sarah maclean - childhood friends reunite years later. read this a loooong time ago and i don't remember much except he does the absolute most to push her away because of Revenge reasons and the fallout from that is delicious

a lady's guide to fortune hunting by sophie irwin - MY CURRENT LOVE. enemies to lovers with my favorite heroine. she is cunning and scheming and absolutely shameless without being a complete asshole. the hero is also equally savvy enough to match her wit and catch onto her grift. the interplay between them of trying to outscheme the other is hilarious and delightful.

contemporary:

georgie, all along by kate clayborn - sweet, slow romance where the drama happens around the couple rather than between them except for the very end and even that is handled pretty maturely. not a big fan of third act breakups in general unless it's for a very good reason so this one sidesteps that by not prolonging it.

against a wall by cate c. wells - small town enemies to lovers. one of those read with your pussy books. hero is kind of a dumb brick but he knows it and owns it and i admire him for it. heroine is the town pariah and spoilers he literally fights the whole town for her sake. get you a man!

the kiss quotient and the bride test by helen hoang - both feature leads on the spectrum. i've seen criticism regarding how she handles neurodivergent characters but reading her author's note, i can tell she definitely pulls a lot from her own experiences being on the spectrum herself so i don't really understand the crit tbh. kind of veers to melodrama a little at the very end but i eat that shit up

the hating game by sally thorne - overexposed now in the rec circles but still a mainstay for a reason. enemies to lovers workplace romance with two leads that are kind of deranged which i love. great prose, great banter.

the billionaire's wake-up call girl by annika martin - billionaires have no rights but just suspend your head for a sec. they could have made him a millionaire and functionally nothing would've changed. anyway also a yummy enemies to lovers with a case of mistaken identity.

well met by jen deluca - kind of like georgie, all along in that the heart of it is just two very normal people falling in love in a very normal way that feels true to life. setting is a renaissance fair which is delightful.

kiss an angel by susan elizabeth phillips - dated as all hell and has some troubling parts with a batshit premise. but the last several chapters honestly make the book and i reread it from time to time so im obligated to include it on this list.

bass-ackwards by eris adderly - okay TW on workplace harassment BUT JUST READ PAST CHAPTER TWO I PROMISE. if it's still not your cup of tea totally understand but anyway... er, workplace romance.

people we meet on vacation by emily henry - ive described this book before as when harry meets sally if harry and sally were making a travelogue. the best friends to lovers pining is actually painful.

other/kinda out there:

radiance by grace draven - arranged marriage interspecies romance! i love this one because both of them thinks the other is actually very ugly so they fall in love purely through their friendship.

transcendence by shay savage - OK LMAO hear me out: caveman and a modern human sent back in time due to shenanigans all from the caveman's pov. the premise is batshit and it's obvious which fandom this was originally a fanfic for if you think about it for more than a second but this author makes it work???? have no fucking clue how she did it but by god she absolutely did

last light by claire kent - apocalypse romance. kind of road trip with survival elements. again i just love unlikely romances where the couple isn't that attracted to each other from the start and having that gradually change through time in a way thats not signposting to the audience.

ghost walk by cassandra gannon - funniest shit ever. ghost who died in the revolutionary era meets a psychic who works as a walking tour guide and recovering from a nervous breakdown. absolutely ridiculous and over the top. insta love which i normally dont like but this was so campy and fun i didn't even care

all cishet but you can find my queer recs here

[sunfortune]

hello! i read some aydra richards books upon your recommendation and i fear that she is, like lisa kleypas is to you, a hit or miss author for me. some books i really enjoyed (a duke in disguise, the marquess wins a wife which are both arguably v similar books) but some i had to push through (the lady unmasked) 😭

LMAO 😭 i was scouring the rest of her lineup after reading my favs (the deceitful duchess and the marquess wins a wife) and nothing really looked good to me either. but all her other stuff is older and both of the books i really liked are her newest releases so i’m reaaaaally HOPING that means her newer books will continue to be good…hopefully.

[readtilyoudie]

“I don’t think he’s a monster at all,” she finished. “In fact, I heard that he stopped by a foundling home with great sacks of sweets, and that they mobbed him with hugs and kisses. I suspect that will be in the broadsheets tomorrow.”

“I suspect,” he said through a tight smile, “there will be a story of a duchess and her three accomplices jailed for slander.”

After a brief pause, the four ladies broke into simultaneous laughter.

Penny offered him the odious tray of edible deceit. “Do take another sandwich, Ash. Or was it lambkin?”

“It’s starshine, I believe,” Miss Mountbatten said.

“No, no,” Miss Teague said. “I could have been certain it was hot cross bun.”

As they all slipped into giggling again, Ash accepted the sandwich and arrowed a look at his wife.

Emma sipped her tea, casting him a coy smile over the cup’s rim.

"Any old diamonds" by KJ Charles

Book description:

Lord Alexander Pyne-ffoulkes is the younger son of the Duke of Ilvar, with a bitter grudge against his wealthy father. The Duke intends to give his Duchess a priceless diamond parure on their wedding anniversary—so Alec hires a pair of jewel thieves to steal it.

The Duke's remote castle is a difficult target, and Alec needs a way to get the thieves in. Soldier-turned-criminal Jerry Crozier has the answer: he'll pose as a Society gentleman and become Alec's new best friend.

But Jerry is a dangerous man: controlling, remote, and devastating. He effortlessly teases out the lonely young nobleman’s most secret desires, and soon he’s got Alec in his bed—and the palm of his hand.

Or maybe not. Because as the plot thickens, betrayals, secrets, new loves, and old evils come to light. Now the jewel thief and the aristocrat must keep up the pretence, find their way through a maze of privilege and deceit, and confront the truth of what's between them...all without getting caught.

My rating: 5⭐

Review:

I found this to be a really interesting book that, even including explicit scenes, had some sort of depth behind it and described well the characters feelings.

It has major themes of grief and death in general and I think they were developed rather well.

I also really enjoyed the writing style, it was easy to get through even if it resembled an old style novel. I had a good time reading this and it kept my full attention (very important to me since lately I'm easily distracted).

Now it's definitely one of my new favorites in the LGBTQ+ books i read so far also because it didn't solely revolve around the two main characters story.

Fav quotes:

"When I rob your father's home I'll pile jewels round your neck, and have you wearing nothing but diamonds"

"I want to know what it's like to kiss you when we're not f*cking. Because I'd like to be the man you draw. That is, to be the man you think of when doodling, but even more, to be the man in that picture, the one who looks as though he deserves you."

REVIEW

Fatal by Design by Cara Devlin

Bow Street Duchess #5

Excellent addition to the series with the ongoing slow burn sizzle of attraction between Audrey and Hugh finally catching fire as they solve another mystery. I couldn’t put it down and cannot wait to see what happens next!

What I liked:

* * Audrey: dowager duchess, married in name only for four years, has been attracted to Hugh throughout the series, loves solving mysteries, intelligent, impulsive, possesses paranormal psychometric abilities, has a big secret that she will share with Hugh

* Hugh: ex-principal Bow Street officer, scandal in his past, good friend of Dr. Thornton, well-educated and eloquent, protective, intelligent, accepting, intriguing, in love with Audrey, dealing with being the new Viscount Neatham after finding out he and not another was the legitimate heir

* Sir: born with the name Davy Given, a young man from the streets befriended and employed by Hugh as his assistant, savvy, capable, resourceful, look forward to seeing more of him in future books * Thornton: physician, Hugh’s friend, compassionate, volunteers time to the underprivileged, capable, supportive, widow that loved his wife, intriguing, might be ready to leave mourning and perhaps might be interested in Cassie

* Cassie: Audrey’s sister-in-law, had a misfortunate situation to deal with in the previous book that has left her less than willing to trust men, looking forward to seeing what her future holds in store for her

* Audrey’s in-laws who seem supportive, kind, and caring

* Millie: Audrey’s sister, widow, mother of four children, loved another but married off to someone else, has potential for true happiness, isn’t as horrible as she seemed in previous books

* The supporting characters Greer, Carrigan and Basil

* The plot, setting, pacing and writing

* All of it really except…

What I didn’t like:

* Who and what I was meant not to like

* The person doing the kidnapping, Audrey’s mother and uncle, and thinking about bigotry must have impacted people of color

Did I like this book? Yes

Would I read more in this series? Definitely!

Thank you to the author and BookSirens for the ARC – This is my honest review.

After the shocking events of the spring, Audrey Sinclair and Hugh Marsden are adjusting to their new lives when an apparent highway robbery ends in the violent abduction of Audrey's sister. As callous as Millie has been in the past, Audrey can't turn her back on family. She'll do whatever it takes to find her sister, even if it means working with the man she's been avoiding for months: former Bow Street officer Hugh Marsden. Unsettled with his new role in society, and being deemed one of London's most eligible bachelors, Hugh is happy to fall back on his Bow Street skills to track down Lady Redding-and to see Audrey again. But the viscountess's disappearance is only half of the puzzle. A long-lost ring worth a fortune could be the driving force behind the deadly events, and as Audrey and Hugh unravel the truth-along with the secrets and complications surrounding their future-a killer closes in on the house party...and selects a new victim.

Was it worth it Sparry?

"Band aides Don't Fix Bullet Holes..."

AFTER Sparry's unconsciously biased conversation about fathering ginger kiddos, he chose NOT to seek clarification from the offensive family member(s) about what he may or may not have said or heard. Instead, while Sparry & Megain were dating, Sparry (as he told Colbert) assumed that IF their relationship were to go the distance: Megain's African genes would dominate his Ginger genes; however, low IQ Sparry only relayed to Megain whatever he overheard or misheard the Windsor's say so they could document the incident in her middle school girls' burn book as leverage for post-wedding blackmail.

Sparry certainly wasn't shy about entertaining multiple pre-engagement discussions about money, Megain's acting career/income, clothing, security, etc

These discussions led Charles to describe Rachel Megain Markle as "Tungsten."

Megain & Sparry were willing to challenge and debate The Queen of England and The Prince of Wales concerning material things, but refused to address the most important elephant in the room: Megain's DEMAND to work and reside amongst Sparry's unconsciously biased family.

The family came to a workable agreement about Megain's BRF "service" opportunities and Megain eagerly awaited Sparry's proposal.

The public knows that Megain expected Sparry to propose marriage because she phoned Mulroney in the midst of his proposal and said "it's (finally) happening." Rachel Megain immediately accepted Sparry's marriage proposal and wanted to "hit the ground running" for the family and institution that she & Sparry defined as racist unconsciously biased.

These two-faced, full grown, able bodied adults scripted and recorded their very first global lie-fest before the entire world and included how "wonderful" everyone, (particularly Catherine) had welcomed Megain into the Windsor family. Megain proceeded to invade the private homes & intimate spaces of Sparry's family without once telling them the truth about their racist unconsciously biased words concerning Megain's unfertilized eggs.

Megain even gave an unconventional Christmas speech to the ENTIRE extended Windsor family. She recycled how THIS (unconsciously biased) family (unlike the Engleson's) is the family she never had.

If the Meghans were so victimized, why didn't they ask Megain's therapist mother for advice? Megain requested a fast track entrance to the Anglican Church. The Arch Bishop could have coordinated private extended family counseling sessions.

Megain chose to lie before God and to the clergy. As Samantha (BP employee) said, "we have been duped" because Megain always planned for her relationship with the BRF to fail.

While preparing for the wedding, this middle school (adolescent) couple prepared to sell tell their story to NOprah for a biased, 1-sided, televised, air out "hearsay" and our dirty laundry faux therapy session.

These victimized Meghans should have visited with Megain's mom & father over that Christmas holiday. They could have used that holiday to plan for a simple beach wedding in Megain's CA USA hometown. Instead, they invaded the privacy of multiple family members at Sandringham. These intimate engagements provided deceitful opportunities for Me-Me to take note of even more unconsciously biased Windsor family offenses.

This selfish couple displaced the homeless population and billed the UK tax payer for the pre-engagement events, as well as millions of dollars to cover the security costs of their Spring "Spectacle."

The Duke and Duchess of Deceit:

Sparry asked his unconsciously biased father to walk his BLACK fiancee down the aisle.

Sparry asked his unconsciously biased & heavily pregnant sister-in-law to host his BLACK fiancee in her home at Christmas.

After the NOprah lie-fest, Sparry personally contacted CBS & Gayle King to clarify that his racist (unconsciously biased) "conversation" did NOT occur with his elderly grandparents.

The world heard Gayle King relay Harry's "message" and yet today the story has been revised to: "a sussex representative" stated that neither Sparry's grandmother, nor his grandfather were present for "that conversation" (convo Sparry vowed never to discuss).

As of December 2023, "THAT conversation" (relayed to Megain by Sparry) BEFORE they were engaged, BEFORE they were married, BEFORE megnancy has now been revised: an increase from one (1) to two (2) conversations and a decrease from "several conversations" to two (2) conversations.

How thoughtful of Sparry to use his wife's paranoia & her self-hatred to blackmail the entire Windsor family & markle his kids' royal heritage.

get to know horace dark. euguene fitzherbert. flynn rider :

It was almost as if Flynn had been destined to a life of deceit. Or at least it would seem that way if he knew the whole story of his early years. All that Flynn was ever told was that he was left at the orphanage being only about a year old, with no name or way of tracing where he may have come from. Renamed Eugene Fitzherbert, that is where he believes his story to begin - but oh is there so much more to it than he may ever know.

The truth is - Flynn is far more than just some nobody orphan. He was born Horace Dark, the son of a Duke and Duchess in a counrty at once stood near Echo Isle. The country had been plagued with a war lasting for decades until it finally came to an end twenty-five years ago. In the last days of the war, the young boy’s mother saw the way the tides were turning and did the only thing she could think to do - she fled to closest sancuratry she could find with her baby in tow, to Echo Isle. Torn between her responsibilities as a mother and her duty to her people back home - she left her child on the doorsteps of the local orphanage and returned to her country with the intention of getting as many people out as she could before returning for Horace. There was no time to explain and it was too risky to leave behind any information regarding his birthright, so the boy was left with nothing. No name, no family - nothing but the love of a mother and the hope that she would soon return. Only… she never did. And she never made it back to her husband to tell him where she had taken their son. Young Horace was officially gone and forgotten to the world, leaving behind Eugene Fitzherbert in his wake.

The next rebirth that this boy would go through is one he’d actually remember. While the life of Horace was put to rest without his say or control - killing off Eugene Fitzherbert and becoming Flynn Rider was a decision that he would make and own for the rest of his life. It wasn’t anything serious - no official change or anything (he was far too broke for that) - but it was a moment when a young boy decided to take it upon himself to create his own future and life. It may not have been one that many people would approve of, going into thievery and conning, but it was a life that he decided for himself. It was one that did him good, that got him everything he wanted with only a few minor setbacks (and one major one… but he doesn’t like to think about that night with Lance if he can help it), so fuck what anyone else had to say. He had no problems being who he was and living how he did… until he met Rapunzel.

Or more accurately, it wasn’t until he started to really get to know Rapunzel that things began to change. Flynn started questioning some of the things he did… not enough to stop completely… but enough for him to begin cutting back. It may not seem like much, but it’s far more of a straight and narrow life than Flynn ever thought himself capable of having. He has a real job as a bartender at the snuggly duckling, he’s secretly working on getting his GED, and he’s auditioning for local roles here and there whenever something catches his attention - slowly pursuing one of the dreams he always had but never thought he’d actually be able to achieve.

Flynn started off stealing with just simple things - swiping food from another kid at the orphanage when he was hungry himself and there wasn’t enough to go around. But it wasn’t until Lance came into the picture that he started to get really good about it. The two taught themselves everything they could and began stealing from far more than just a few fellow orphans.

Dropped out of school when he was fifteen - that’s when he and Lance ran away from the orphanage and found their place behind the snuggly duckling. They paid their way with free labor, washing dishes and working as busboys when needed, and when that wasn’t enough to cover rent they always managed to scrape the rest up through a few con jobs or pickpocketing moments.

That lasted for a few years, until the night that everything went to shit. They were behind on rent. Way behind. Further behind than they’d ever been because business was slowing down at the snuggly duckling and their free labor wasn’t needed as much. So Flynn and Lance needed cash. Quick cash. More than just stealing a few wallets type of cash. Which was why they decided to rob the little gas station down the street. It should have been fine. An easy and quick job. But the man working the cash register that night had a gun and things got messy. With Lance’s encouragement - Flynn ran, thinking his buddy would be soon behind him. Only before the older boy could get out, the cops arrived. Lance was arrested and Flynn was officially on his own again. Without the second person around to pick up shifts and help with the thievery, Flynn was kicked out of his home. He quite literally lost everything because of that night.

Or at least - most everything. He still had his girlfriend, Stalyan. Who he ended up moving in with after being evicted - she had a small apartment, paid for by her father’s own life of crime. The two had only been dating for a few months and it was far quicker of a commitment than Flynn would have ever made under any other circumstance… but he needed a place to stay. And things with Stalyan were fun. So that lasted for a few years, reaching a peak on Flynn’s twentieth birthday when he drunkenly proposed to her and the two made arrangements to meet the next morning at the courthouse and elope - separating for the night to have last minute bachelor and bachelorette parties. Missing the wedding had been a complete accident, in all honesty, Flynn had simply overslept… but when he woke up and realized what he’d done, he freaked out. Marriage wasn’t for him. Especially not right now. And definitely not with Stalyan. So before the girl could track him down, Flynn packed up all his shit that mattered to him (which wasn’t much) and hightailed it out of that apartment, ending the relationship without so much as a note goodbye. A blowup fight came a day later, one that left him with a close to broken nose, and Stalyan was gone - leaving Echo Isle to return to live with her father. Flynn has yet to hear from her ever since that day - but he’s not dumb enough to think that things will stay that way forever.

After moving out of Stalyan’s - he started crashing with the Stabbingtons, which is how he got entangled with them and their higher levels of crime. He wouldn’t call them friends per say, certainly not family the way that Lance was, so the spur of the moment decision to betray them wasn’t a hard one to make. It’s still not something he’s ever really felt guilt over - except for perhaps in the few moments he’s ever mentioned them to Rapunzel.

Speaking of Rapunzel…. THATS HIS BEST FRIEND. And he’s also lowkey in love with her but in complete denial because… she’s far too good for him and he is absolutely aware of that. Plus she’s got enough going on and needs to have a chance to find a life for herself. She doesn’t need him making her life any more complicated with dumb, stupid feelings.

Uhhmmm he likes country music. Yeah.

Bisexual as fuck. We don’t know straights in this house.

He’s an idiot.

Security was the main essence of their plan from the very beginning. Hence the extreme nature of their war against the govt & RAVEC & they will act with increasing extremism and grifting and hoaxing in desperation now. The Royal Grift's brilliant video. by u/ElectricalAd9212

Security was the main essence of their plan from the very beginning. Hence the extreme nature of their war against the govt & RAVEC & they will act with increasing extremism and grifting and hoaxing in desperation now. The Royal Grift's brilliant video. The brilliant YouTuber The Royal Grift's latest video really gets to the nub of the matter.In essence, Markle and Harry's whole plan depended on having permanent tax payer funded security and this can be seen in their statement when they announced their plans.But most arrogantly and psychopathically, the statement was a typical Markle attempt to bounce the Queen and Palace into giving them everything they wanted.She thought that doing this would manifest it to happen, or force the hand by making the media and everyone else assume it was the case, and if they didn't agree, they could play the hate card of abuse and incitement, that the Palace was racist etc.Essentially, they tried to bully the Queen and Palace in the same way that Markle bullied her staff.from their website:Why do they carry out official overseas visits and who pays for it?The Duke and Duchess proudly carry out official overseas visits in support of Her Majesty The Queen at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), as is the case for all members of the Royal Family. The length and location of these tours are determined by the FCO and the Royal Visits Committee. All Official overseas visits are in support of Her Majesty’s Government’s objectives and paid for by The Sovereign Grant as well as contributions from the host country, when appropriate.Does their future financial autonomy extend to covering the costs of security?The provision of armed security by The Metropolitan Police is mandated by the Home Office, a ministerial department of Her Majesty’s Government, responsible for security and law & order. As stated on gov.uk, “No breakdown of security costs is available as disclosure of such information could compromise the integrity of these arrangements and affect the security of the individuals protected. It is long established policy not to comment upon the protective security arrangements and their related costs for members of the Royal Family or their residences.”​+++++++++​Why are they so desperate, to the extent of waging judicial and legal war on the govt and RAVEC?Because everything about their plans to make money and set up a rival Royal House in America with the sole purpose of making money from the royal name whilst pretending to be philanthropists depended on two things:(1) The British government and Foreign Office asking them to represent the UK overseas(2) The permanent funds from the British taxpayer to fund their lifestyle and allow them to travel as if they were Monarchs or the President of the USA and gain access to money making merchandising and commercial opportunities therein.The Royal Grift rightly points out a couple of things:(a) The New York car chase hoax and everything else -- including the Taliban comment -- was an attempt to force the govt to resume taxpayer funding for them and(b) They will not give up and will become even more desperate and extreme and commit more hoaxes and wage wars of deception and hoaxing in order to try and regain their fundingI agree with the Royal Grift. I expect to see strategic genius Markle and her husband indulge in ever more extreme and desperate attempts to regain working royal status, and funding. In short, they are going to become ever more extreme, lying, deceitful, hoaxing and fraudulent as they become more desperate.We ain't seen nothing yet from this pair of lying psycho grifters ​​ post link: https://ift.tt/QSidF16 author: ElectricalAd9212 submitted: March 02, 2024 at 04:54PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

Sorry for the late upload! School just started for me again. My cousin helped me with color palette. Again, his class/weapon of choice wouldn’t be possible without @giggly-squiggily!

Point of reference/inspiration

Meet Quinton Edric Lochan, former heir to House Lochan. Quinton is the son of Duke Adrien and Duchess Emmeline. Quinton is very serious young man who happily lives up to his parents’ expectations. He’s good-natured and has a kind yet deceitful heart. He’s also very observant, so if he views you as an accomplice or friend, you will see his kind and friendly side, but if he sees you as a potential thorn in his side, the script flips on its axis. Quinton is well-seasoned with many weapons but he prefers to fight with his lance atop of his trusty stallion.

Quinton has two younger sisters, Rosalind and Lilibeth, who he dotes on. Whenever his sisters call upon him for something, he would drop everything to help them. This is the only time when his heart isn’t deceitful. When Quinton and his family heard about the prophecy and found out that Quinton was the prophesied child, the young nobleman started growing closer to Claudia, the Imperial princess however, his feelings towards the Imperial princess are false. If anything, Quinton despises and loathes Claudia with a burning passion. He’s only pretending to like her in hopes of one day ascending the throne and leaving her for dead. This is where we get to see his deceitful heart come into play. There is nothing about Claudia that Quinton views as “worthy of his love and time,” but he’s playing it off like Claudia is the apple of his eye, only to stab her in the back when he ascends the throne. He knows that her brother, Kayden, is always on high alert around him, but Quinton knows how to shut him down.

I had a lot of fun with his backstory. When I had Claudia made, I knew that the prophesied child would try to grow close to her to overthrow her and the empire, so yeah!

More art coming soon, hopefully, so stay tuned!

'Princes and the Press': BBC delays podcast amid concern over Palace reaction to part two of documentary​

Podcast, Harry, Meghan and the Media, to focus on coverage of the Duchess of Sussex and claims of sexism, racism and 'strategic leaks' A BBC podcast that was due to accompany a controversial documentary series exploring the relationship between the Royal Family and the press has been delayed amid concerns about how Buckingham Palace will respond to the second episode. The first instalment of the two-part series, The Princes and the Press, angered the royal households for presenting “overblown and unfounded claims” as fact. The BBC also provoked ire by refusing to give them advance sight of the final cut. The second episode, to be broadcast on Monday night, is expected to further ruffle feathers as it focuses on the departure of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Reports suggest it will accuse the Duke of Cambridge of briefing stories against his brother and revisit the Sussexes’ claims that they did not receive adequate support from courtiers. A five-part podcast presented by Amol Rajan, the BBC media editor, who also hosts the programme, was due to be released alongside the series. But BBC sources admitted that amid the ongoing controversy, it had now been delayed and would instead be released as a box set at a later date. One claimed it was “still in production” as they awaited royal reaction to last night’s episode. The podcast, called Harry, Meghan and the Media, was to focus on the coverage of the Duchess of Sussex and allegations of sexism, racism and "strategic leaks". In a teaser, Rajan, an avowed republican, referred to the “culture wars” to which he claimed the younger royals had been conscripted.

'A very modern drama'​

He added: “Over the past year we have spent around 80 hours interviewing the people who wrote this very modern drama, the reporters, columnists and broadcasters who shape public opinion on royalty. “Some of what they say is shocking, some of it is plain weird but all of it helps us understand why we are where we are.” In a rare move, all three royal households - Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Kensington Palace - joined forces to release a joint statement ahead of the first episode of the documentary series. They said “A free, responsible and open Press is of vital importance to a healthy democracy. However, too often overblown and unfounded claims from unnamed sources are presented as facts and it is disappointing when anyone, including the BBC, gives them credibility.” A decision about whether to take further action, which could take the form of a formal complaint to BBC governors or to Ofcom, was delayed pending the final installment. However, the show has already generated such a furore that there was understood to be little appetite to fan the flames. The BBC2 series comes amid wider disquiet between the corporation and the royals, following the scandal over Martin Bashir's Panorama interview with Diana, Princess of Wales, which Prince William condemned earlier this year as "deceitful". In producing Rajan’s series, the BBC approached all three households for comment and offered them the opportunity to put up a representative to be interviewed. They each turned down the offer on the basis that they were not given enough information about the allegations being made and who was making them. Aides believe they were not given a “proper right of reply,” insisting that they would never issue a response to such “scant,” unsourced information. One brushed off the first episode as a "greatest hits of the stories already written” that the palace had never commented on in the first place. By contrast, the Duchess of Sussex authorised her lawyer, Jenny Afia, to defend her against accusations of bullying former staff and to discuss her recent court case against the Mail on Sunday. Omid Scobie, co-author of the Sussexes’ biography, Finding Freedom, also appeared, claiming that "negative stories" had been leaked about Meghan to “put her in her place”. Senior BBC sources have insisted that it was entirely appropriate not to make the full programme available to the royal households ahead of broadcast.

Hubby has a theory regarding The BBC showing the program the princes and the press he thinks that Omid is or has been in a relationship with Amol And that is why Henry and Rachel have been getting much better and positive coverage compared to what William Catherine and the rest of the royal family have been subjected to. There was a report in the express newspaper saying that the BBC are no longer going to use the term Megxit after Harry complained that it was derogatory towards Megan they are instead going to use the phrase or term Sussexit. The whole thing is completely and utterly ridiculous the fact that a public funded service which carries a royal charter is pandering to 2 non-entities who not only left the country but did so after making demands that could not be reached, Leaves a bad taste in the mouth I am just wondering how much longer the BBC can continue to demand the license fee when acting as A propaganda service to the duke and Duchess of deceit in Montecito.

HORACE DARK. EUGENE FITZHERBERT. FLYNN RIDER. // TWENTY-SEVEN. // THIEF. // SNUGGLY DUCKLING BARTENDER.

It was almost as if Flynn had been destined to a life of deceit. Or at least it would seem that way if he knew the whole story of his early years. All that Flynn was ever told was that he was left at the orphanage being only about a year old, with no name or way of tracing where he may have come from. Renamed Eugene Fitzherbert, that is where he believes his story to begin - but oh is there so much more to it than he may ever know. 

The truth is - Flynn is far more than just some nobody orphan. He was born Horace Dark, the son of a Duke and Duchess in a city that once stood near Animania. The city had been plagued with a war lasting for decades until it finally came to an end twenty-four years ago. Only… the good guys didn’t win in the end. In the last days of the war, the young boy’s mother saw the way the tides were turning and did the only thing she could think to do - she fled to her great-grandmother’s hometown of Echo Creek with her baby in tow. 

Torn between her responsibilities as a mother and her duty to her people back home - she left her child on the doorsteps of the local orphanage and returned to her city with the intention of getting as many people out as she could before returning for Horace. There was no time to explain and it was too risky to leave behind any information regarding his birthright, so the toddler was left with nothing. No name, no family - nothing but the love of a mother and the hope that she would soon return. 

Only… she never did. And she never made it back to her husband to tell him where she had taken their son. Young Horace was officially gone and forgotten to the world, leaving behind Eugene Fitzherbert in his wake. 

The next rebirth that this boy would go through is one he’d actually remember. While the life of Horace was put to rest without his say or control - killing off Eugene Fitzherbert and becoming Flynn Rider was a decision that he would make and own for the rest of his life. It wasn’t anything serious - no official change or anything (he was far too broke for that) - but it was a moment when a young boy decided to take it upon himself to create his own future and life. 

It may not have been one that many people would approve of, going into thievery and conning, but it was a life that he decided for himself. It was one that did him good, that got him everything he wanted with only a few minor setbacks (and one major one… but he doesn’t like to think about that night with Lance if he can help it), so fuck what anyone else had to say. He had no problems being who he was and living how he did… until he met Rapunzel. 

Or more accurately, it wasn’t until he started to really get to know Rapunzel that things began to change. Flynn started questioning some of the things he did… not enough to stop completely… but enough for him to begin cutting back. He still hangs out with his old crowd as much as he used to, still pickpockets nearly every time he passes an easy mark, and still lives a life of crime on the whole… but he also has a real job now, working as a bartender at the snuggly duckling and is even working on getting his GED (though very few people know that part yet). It may not seem like much, but it’s far more of a straight and narrow life than Flynn ever thought himself capable of having.

Flynn started off stealing with just simple things - swiping food from another kid at the orphanage when he was hungry himself and there wasn’t enough to go around. But it wasn’t until Lance came into the picture that he started to get really good about it. The two taught themselves everything they could and began stealing from far more than just a few fellow orphans. 

Dropped out of school when he was fifteen - that’s when he and Lance ran away from the orphanage and found their place behind the snuggly duckling. They paid their way with free labor, washing dishes and working as busboys when needed, and when that wasn’t enough to cover rent they always managed to scrape the rest up through a few con jobs or pickpocketing moments.

That lasted for a few years, until the night that everything went to shit. They were behind on rent. Way behind. Further behind than they’d ever been because business was slowing down at the snuggly duckling and their free labor wasn’t needed as much. So Flynn and Lance needed cash. Quick cash. More than just stealing a few wallets type of cash. Which was why they decided to rob the little gas station down the street. It should have been fine. An easy and quick job. But the man working the cash register that night had a gun and things got messy. With Lance’s encouragement - Flynn ran, thinking his buddy would be soon behind him. Only before the older boy could get out, the cops arrived. Lance was arrested and Flynn was officially on his own again. Without the second person around to pick up shifts and help with the thievery, Flynn was kicked out of his home. He quite literally lost everything because of that night.

Or at least - most everything. He still had his girlfriend, Stalyan. Who he ended up moving in with after being evicted - she had a small apartment, paid for by her father’s own life of crime. The two had only been dating for a few months and it was far quicker of a commitment than Flynn would have ever made under any other circumstance… but he needed a place to stay. And things with Stalyan were fun. So that lasted for a few years, reaching a peak on Flynn’s twentieth birthday when he drunkenly proposed to her and the two made arrangements to meet the next morning at the courthouse and elope - separating for the night to have last minute bachelor and bachelorette parties. Missing the wedding had been a complete accident, in all honesty, Flynn had simply overslept… but when he woke up and realized what he’d done, he freaked out. Marriage wasn’t for him. Especially not right now. And definitely not with Stalyan. So before the girl could track him down, Flynn packed up all his shit that mattered to him (which wasn’t much) and hightailed it out of that apartment, ending the relationship without so much as a note goodbye. A blowup fight came a day later, one that left him with a close to broken nose, and Stalyan was gone - leaving Animania to return to live with her father. Flynn has yet to hear from her ever since that day - but he’s not dumb enough to think that things will stay that way forever.

After moving out of Stalyan’s - he started crashing with the Stabbingtons, which is how he got entangled with them and their higher levels of crime. He wouldn’t call them friends per say, certainly not family the way that Lance was, so the spur of the moment decision to betray them wasn’t a hard one to make. It’s still not something he’s ever really felt guilt over - except for perhaps in the few moments he’s ever mentioned them to Rapunzel.

Speaking of Rapunzel…. THATS HIS BEST FRIEND. And he’s also lowkey in love with her but in complete denial because… she’s far too good for him and he is absolutely aware of that. Plus she’s got enough going on and needs to have a chance to find a life for herself out from under Gothel’s thumb. She doesn’t need him making her life any more complicated with dumb, stupid feelings. 

Uhhmmm he likes country music. Yeah.

Bisexual as fuck. We don’t know straights in this house.
