That Damn Polaroid™ (and Some Thoughts on the Events in April/InStyle Stunt)

This polaroid... Nicola, Nicola, Nicola 😂

This polaroid still gets me today. Like, yes, this was for PR to some extent, BUT this was also SUCH a public statement. We know N has her phone ALL THE TIME. And (from what we know) the picture was on her phone for WEEKS (MONTHS technically). L appeared fine too with it being there (at least from what we know in the interviews where they talked about it). And that wasn't just like a cutesy little picture of two friends/coworkers. It was a 🔥/powerful pic. And as I mentioned here, N uses pictures as a way of communicating with others. And her excuse that she just "didn't have any pockets at the time", so she put the photo there (and proceeded to keep it there for MONTHS) 🙄 Sure Jan... So, with all of this context, I'm first going to talk about some of my thoughts on what was going on between L/A between the end of February to beginning of April, what was going on between L/N in April up until the Italy stops (including thoughts on the InStyle Stunt), and then at the end I will talk about my thoughts on WHY N had that photo on her phone for such a long time and the deeper meaning it might have had then just promoting the show.

Heads up, this is going to be a longg post...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think this post from @newghlan pretty much sums up what I think was going on between L/A during end of February to early April. There was MAJOR flirty energy between L/N during the VDay event and BAFTAs. I talked a little bit here about how there was a very brief clip from the BAFTAs where they look like they got caught when they were embracing each other. I highly recommend checking out the video if you haven't already, because the noverbal cues speak VOLUMES. And it's just interesting that they would look like they got caught at this public event? It read to me that for SOME reason, they did not want that small clip to be captured and put out to the public 🤔

My theories are that by the BAFTAs, A was NOT happy about L/N's chemistry and connection. Maybeee L promised to redirect his attention to A, which is why L wasn't seen at/didn't go to the Big Mood premiere, and why L took A to LA with him and agreed to the InStyle Stunt to appease her. I've never doubted that L has probably had feelings for A (although I still think it was/is fairly casual), but like tbh, I'm CERTAIN his feelings for N are SO MUCH DEEPER. So when those feelings came flooding back when they did reshoots in December 2023, and then had to proceed right into working on promotion in January (which I think just made all the feelings stronger), I feel like he probably had some guilt because he was TRYING to explore his relationship with A. BUT L was reconnecting with N, and I think emotionally, that's where his heart is at. And A noticed this, so she was upset (which honestly, is understandable imo- some of A's actions though because of these feelings she was having I definitely don't agree with). I think L was unsure though about going there again with N, and so he wanted to prove to A (and SPECIFICALLY to himself) that A was the one he wanted to be with. So he focuses his energies on A, agrees to the InStyle Stunt so she gets SOME kind of public acknowledgement (which was a BIG goal of hers in the relationship), and tries to distance some from N. That didn't reallyyyy work though, and then we got what we did for the rest of the tour between L/N.

Before I get to my thoughts on April between L/N, I want to list some specific timeline things around the InStyle Stunt:

L does the InStyle interview (in LA I believe?) near the end of March (so that's when L/A were in LA)

A posts the LA photos on her IG on April 7th and April 14th (and L likes these posts)- I believe she has since deleted another set of these LA photos, so idk what date she posted those photos (sometime in early April though I believe)

The InStyle article comes out on April 29th (with the accompanying Polaroid pics that prove A was in LA with him- this also confirmed that L had coordinated these photos with A to acknowledge (without publicly acknowledging) that he and A were an item)

L posts the non-polaroid photos from the InStyle article on his IG on April 29th (and N likes the post and comments (on April 29) "Yess dude!!")

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

April/Early May Between L/N

L/N attend the Bridgerton Season 3 London Photocall on April 12 (which is where the photo above was taken AND where the infamous polaroid was taken). Earlier that day (I believe), L/N also did a series of interviews for the show, and those interviews had some SERIOUS flirty/sexual energy to them (including one of L's (not so subtle) butt pinches with N). I would highly recommend rewatching those interviews if you haven't. If anyone has the links to these particular interviews (N is wearing the same necklace, and L the same tank top and jacket that they are wearing in the picture above), please link them in the comments below.

L/N are at events in Bowral, Australia from April 21-23

L/N in Milan May 9 (with the interviews where they are disconnected and likely beefing)

L/N in Verona May 10 (and they are all cutesy with each other and seem back on the same page)

So here are my thoughts (and why the InStyle Stunt/article might have come into play as to why they had been beefing in Milan):

As I mentioned, I think L was TRYING to distance himself some from N in March and refocus his attention on A. However, I think that pull with N was still really strong, and BTS they were still having to see each other and communicate in order to prepare for their upcoming promotional events. My guess is that all this sexual/flirty tension was building up between them BTS in March, which is why they were soooo unhinged in those interviews before the London Photocall on April 12. I also think early April is when L was starting to realize that his feelings for N were coming back full force, and was maybeeee getting a little green light from N that the feelings were reciprocated (but they weren't actually addressing it because I think they were scared/nervous). However, I think they continue flirting with each other in April (maybe secretly through messaging, and also when they were in person).

Note: We also have to remember that L gave those polaroids to InStyle (most likely) at the end of March when he did the interview. Therefore, the InStyle Stunt was set in motion by that point. I've been wondering though recently, if he had known what was going to happen between him and N in April and early May, if he might not have gone along/set up the InStyle stunt 🤔 Just some thoughts I've been having...

Then we get to the Bowral events near the end of April (BEFORE the InStyle article comes out though, confirming L had coordinated this with A), and it seems pretty obvious to me that L is trying to test the water with N and see how she's feeling about them (they are both being a little publicly flirty, but L much more so imo (N still seems to have a lot of her walls up in public)). It makes sense L might be hesitant to open himself back up to N when, as I talked about here, I think he got his heart broken a little by N. However, I think N was starting to open herself up to the possibility of really trying with L (because I think she has ALSO loved him for a while, but just was never in the place to really commit to the relationship for various reasons). I think she was finally feeling though that she was ready to give this relationship a serious shot, but knew L was kind of in a relationship. I think N was under the impression though that it wasn't super serious, so I think she was hopeful she and L might be able to figure it out.

A lot of people have been commenting that the InStyle Stunt/article wouldn't have upset N because she would have already known about it because of the pictures A posted in early April. I disagree. Now, we obviously don't know 100% if N knew that L was going to add those polaroids to the article. Tbh, we also don't 100% know if she even knew about the pictures that A posted of the LA trip (because I don't get the sense N exerts a whole lot of energy and time following what A does). Yes, N commented and liked L's post on April 29 related to the InStyle article. However, that does not confirm that she had already read the article. And she wasn't going to unlike and remove her comment, because fans would have noticed and flipped out. I am more inclined to believe that she really wasn't aware that this was all going to go down, mainly because I think L didn't want N to know/was trying to be sneaky about it. I think once N figured it all out after the article came out, the thing she was most upset by was how this article proved L had coordinated with A to indirectly publicly announce that they were an item (while L was continually putting out to the press at that point that he was single). Therefore, I think N was pi**ed because she didn't want this to impact their tour/her (their) public image. And secondly, I think she was upset because of the feelings she was having for him, and how flirty he had been with her the last few months. I think it all caught N off gaurd, and her walls went WAY back up. And we have to remember that this all happened just a few days before the Milan event, so I think that energy between them just spilled over and resulted in their very disconnected nonverbal cues in Milan.

I talked a little bit more about my thoughts on Italy here, but I think after L/N got back on the same page emotionally, it was pretty much game over emotionally with A for L. His heart wasn't really in it anymore (and tbh, I don't think it ever really was). Also, I've said this multiple times, but Italy is when N starts posting the "boyfriend pics" of L (which L obviously agreed to). Personally, I think N (and indirectly L) were sending a message to a certain someone 🤔 But just a theory... I have also already talked about it here and here on my theories on why L was never going to be able to publicly untangle himself from A for a while, regardless of what was going on BTS with L/N.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What Could be the Deeper Meaning Behind the Polaroid?

So, my point with everything is this. I think early April was a MAJOR turning point for N in terms of her feelings/emotions for L. Here are my thoughts (outside of PR) on why N put THAT Polaroid on her phone from the London Photcall event on April 12 (and for MONTHS):

First, we need to acknowledge that L obviously approved of this photo being on her phone (or at least was complicit to it), which I think speaks VOLUMES about where L was at emotionally with N at the time (and where L WASN'T at emotionally with A). This confirms to me that things just weren't that serious with A, even if he was TRYING to refocus his attention on A. L's heart was still with N.

N wanted people to know that they were a unit through this experience, and that N truly loves him and their friendship/connection. She wanted to share to the world how special he AND their experience on Bridgerton is to her.

I think she put that SPECIFIC picture on her phone because her feelings were STARTING to change for L around this event/that general time period. I think N was starting to see L in a bit of a new light (in a positive way), and was seeing some real potential between them.

Lastly, I think one of the reasons she kept the photo on her phone for so long (outside of the PR), is because her walls were starting to come down, things were getting more serious between her and L, and she was happy (and she wanted the public to know 😉). And L/N could kind of hide behind this unspoken public narrative that it was just for "PR" (which I NEVER bought).

Now yes, she has since changed the polaroid. However, we have NO idea what the photo is of now (or if she is consistently changing it out/or completely changed her phone case). She knows our obsession with the Polaroid though, so I think she likes to tease us about it. She knows what she is doing 😉 That OG polaroid though during the PR tour had a MUCH deeper meaning than just promoting the show, and was a significant public statement about her relationship with L. Just my theory though...

"On Thursday, Nov. 14, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, was snapped attending the Highbrow Hippie launch party at the Gjelina restaurant in Venice, California. Celebrating her close friend and hair colorist Kadi Lee’s new Haircare and Wellness range (of which Meghan is one of the lead investors), she posed for photos with Lee and her longtime hairstylist Serge Normant, who styled Meghan’s hair for her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry.

"'I am so proud to invest in [Kadi] as a friend and as a female founder,' Meghan told InStyle of her investment in Highbrow Hippie: 'Kadi has a mastery of hair health, and her Highbrow Hippie collection is a perfect reflection of that.'

"Meghan sported a black strapless top and pants from Khaite for the event. The classic look included shoes from one of her go-to brands, Aquazurra, and a pendant necklace from Logan Hollowell to compliment her sweetheart neckline. The Duchess completed her ensemble with a pair of gold, round earrings, while her hair was styled in soft curls, parted in the middle.

"In videos shared to Lee's Instagram Stories after the event, Meghan was seen singing and dancing along to a gospel choir performance.

"'She was in a joyful mood,' a source tells PEOPLE. 'She was dancing and celebrating with her friends.'"

hilaryduff: A seriously warm event where the brains behind the scenes were celebrated and honored. Sooo meaningful to cheer on the artists that don’t get enough recognition for their grueling schedules and hard work - bravo @ instyle thanks for having me at the image maker awards last night 🩵

[bridgertonopinions]

Luke said he had his “loved ones” flown to NYC for the premiere. Antonia is his “loved one”. He spent Valentine’s Day with her took her to Paris for her birthday, did that InStyle LA shoot with her (which is sooo public) idk why yall are taking his side acting like this is casual? Yall will be so disappointed when they go officially public after S3.

Hmmm yet his family member (not naming names) stated just his sister and mother would be present at the premier. It was confirmed by people physically there that she got a ticket on her own and there was an altercation at the party.

Valentine’s Day she was in a hotel room while he was with Nic doing press all day and into the night (people who were at the event after state that Luke and Nic were there pretty late).

LA in her stories there was a group of people she was with, and yes Luke was there but it was a group that went (don’t even get me started of the weird ass nature of that trip)

Paris she again, stayed in the hotel room while he went to the event by himself she was not seen with him at all, granted I will say she probably needed an invite to that event but still

Every time he is in her photos (even obscure) it’s deleted within 1-2 hours

Luke has every single shed of opportunity to state he has a girlfriend and don’t tell me that it’s because of the season or promo because Rege, Corey, and Jonathan openly admitted to having partners during their promo and press

And this is just scratching the surface we can deep dive into all the things in between here and see clear as day this man does not want to claim her as his girlfriend

If he wanted to he would.

Now that being said if he does so be it - it is what it is. but let’s look at all the facts here…….

What about Australia people always forget that stop 😂 They were looking so engaged in one of the events it looked like their engagement party. I loved the vibes there what is your opinion on it ?

Ah yes The Land Down Under. I'll say this:

I definitely picked up on some major flirty energy between them, but I wasn't really getting the same nonverbal cues between them that signaled to me emotional connectedness (like the heart eyes) that I got from Verona onwards. ESPECIALLY from N.

I will talk about this more when I analyze N's Polaroid pic, because I have a LOT of thoughts on what was going on between them in April, but essentially, I think L was so much more obvious in Australia about his feelings because he sensed there MIGHT have been a green light from N that they could be more than friends, and he was starting to test the water.

He didn't really get any confirmation from N that those feelings were reciprocated (which I think they actually were), so he goes back to A, the InStyle stunt happens, and then we get the disconnected nonverbal cues from L/N in Milan.

L, being a people pleaser and probably VERY upset that N was upset at him, was (I believe) the one that initiated that he and N needed to talk in Milan. Which I think lead to some BIG conversations about their deep feelings for each other that I think they had needed to have for a while (AND some fun in the sheets 😉)

And that is why I think there was a positive shift in their emotional energy between each other for the rest of the tour (except for the premieres, but I have already talked about my thoughts on that here and here)...

But weren't they so hot here?! 🔥🔥 I loved this dress of hers!! 😍

What were some of your favorite parts of the Australian leg of the tour?
