âFather, were the rose bearers necessary for the trip?â You huffed out, watching as rose petals were being tossed out on the tarmac before your father stepped out on the jetâs stairs.
âYou know it is tradition, my child. Now, have you gathered everything before we leave this plane?â Your dad answered, waiting for you, your mother, and your sisters to exit the plane after him.
Holding onto your carry-on, the Canadian air breezed past you as you descended from the planeâs steps and gave the media a polite wave, wanting to get to the comfort of the hotel already. Given the warmest welcome from the airport staff, you and your family safely made your way to the official cars and drove to the Four Seasons.
Upon arrival, another warm welcome was given along with a bunch of staff issued to you at your every call and you did not want to say no as they kindly offered.
Laying down on the incredibly soft bed, you appreciated the aesthetics of your suite and took photos that you knew you couldnât share with the public due to safety reasons so that just ruined the mood so to bring it up again, you called your royal advisor/childhood friend just to update her on your journey.
âAnd let me guess, the media was all over you guys.â Ama chuckled through the phone. âWhen arenât they ever. A lot of them were from Babaâs thing weâre going to.â You said, rolling your eyes as you recalled the flashing lights from your landing.
âOh, the formula thing. Youâll be fine, Y/n, just remember to interact with other human beings and donât bring up work.â Ama spoke, squinting her eyes at you. âDonât you have faith in me? Iâll be as chilled as I can be.â You said.
âY/n my dear, should I remind you how you ran away from that one rapper because he wanted to take you out on a date?â She laughed in between her sentences and you wanted to scream in embarrassment. âAma please, letâs not speak on that, it was enough to scar me for days.â
Holding her hands up, Ama spoke again. âOkay okay, Iâm sorry. Look Y/n, I have to go now and I promise i wonât speak on it again.â She laughed once again and you just shook your head at her.
âBye Ama, say hi to everyone back home for me.â You sighed out.
âByeee! Donât forget, listen to sexyy red before you go. Sheâll give you confidence.â Ama winked then dropped the call.
Feeling your hunger slowly come back, you ultimately decided to drag your two younger sisters to get dinner with you. You knew the next day was going to be incredibly long so you wanted to do everything early to prepare yourself.
-
You made no effort to research a single thing about the sport that you were going to watch.
Your father had sent staff to hand deliver your passes to each of you, there were only two and had specified that it was from Mercedes. Luckily, they went very well with your outfit choice for qualifying that day.
As for your journey to the track, a clearly nervous Mercedes employee was assigned to you along with all the other members of your family having their own guide. Her first thought was to compliment you and you couldnât have thanked her enough, with you starting to like the experience.
Sitting in the car was not awkward at all, you had asked several questions about the sport and what exactly was happening so that you would not be confused in the garage. A tour would be put in place before qualifying for your family then youâll get to meet the drivers however most of the fun stuff will happen on Sunday.
âTell me, is my skirt too short? I made a bold move with this outfit today.â You asked, the younger girl already shaking her head in disagreement.
âItâs a very cute outfit, Your Majesty. Itâs quite unsuspecting unless youâre going to wear a sash.â Maddy joked. âOh no, we stopped that practice three years ago. Another thing, you donât have to call me that. Y/n is just fine.â You smiled and you could see her sigh out of relief.
The conversation had went on until you arrived to the paddock gates and quite the crowd had gathered and obviously they had to be for the drivers and other important f1 personnel. Maddy had informed you that you and your family would enter through a much more private entrance to avoid crowds.
As soon as the door was opened, you could hear the loud atmosphere of the track. From fans to the cars, it was buzzing and that had you looking forward to the rest of your trip. Following close behind, you could spot your parents and sisters walking slightly ahead of you and they were admiring the beauty of the scenes behind the sport.
However, the weather did not accommodate your outfit all with goosebumps rising on your skin so quickly. âWeâve got some hoodies in the hospitality.â Maddy reassured with a smile.
After a warm welcome upon arriving at the hospitality and the overly excited team principal had showed you around, you finally received the hoodie and completely unaware of the â44â etched into the material but at least you were now warm.
Your father was at his happiest, over-explaining everything to your curious sisters and your mom was in deep conversations with the barista who was from Zamunda. The paddock club was lively with different people wearing colourful merchandise of their favourite teams and only then did you realize you hadn't seen any driver or their face even though they were planted everywhere.
Before you could pull out your phone to research, Khosi, the youngest, ran up to you whilst laughing. "I made a joke to Baba that you'd find someone here and the face he made was priceless." She wheezed out, plopping down on the couch you were sitting on and lightly smiled at her antics.
Looking over at your father, he couldnât be more excited, his smile growing larger and larger as the Merc personnel continued speaking. âToto will be here soon with the drivers and a few photographers from Mercedes. Weâll then head to the garage and pit lane for a tour.â
Without a moment to spare, several people entered the space including photographers, the very eager team principal and what you would assume were the drivers. The taller one walked in with his hands clasped together with a large smile on his face, his style could be described as preppy.
The next driver, however, his presence could be felt with just a step in the doorway. The first thing you noticed about him was his confidence followed by his outfit, a black tracksuit with simple red lines around specific areas. After being mesmerised by each detail about him, you got to his eyes which locked in with yours.
A shiver ran down your spine as the both of you maintained eye contact with each other, a slight smile on his face whilst chewing on some gum and you truly couldâve melted on the spot. âGeorge, Lewis. Meet the royal family of Zamunda. King Akeem and his family have been long time followers of Formula One and weâve had the honour of hosting them in our team.â Toto expressed, quite literally unable to stand still.
Introductions began and butterflies were flying around your stomach the closer you got to him. You could tell that he was your fatherâs favourite driver as he spoke for quite a while and even made a few jokes but you couldnât hear anything, not when the man in the designer tracksuit was staring you down.
âYour Majesty, iâm Lewis. Itâs lovely to meet you.â He finally introduced himself to you as you were the last of your family to greet everyone. You held out your hand to him and he gladly accepted it and you prayed that he wouldnât feel the warmth of your palms. âLikewise,â You cleared your throat. âY/n is just fine.â
The sound of your name falling from his lips felt like heaven, pronouncing it correctly on the first try just added to the attraction. âItâs a pleasure to meet you, Y/n.â He spoke lowly and you could barely keep yourself together in your head. You wanted to find more words to say to him, anything, but your chance fell short as the eager team principal pulled you out of your head to introduce the next driver to you.
The next few minutes were brutal. Your family stood opposite the faces of the team and you could feel his eyes glued to you, unmoving.
In typical Zamundan fashion, itâs in your fatherâs blood to brag about how great his country is and all its beauty. âAnd onto my eldest daughter, sheâs quite the superstar. All her humanitarian work has brought eyes onto Zamunda. Y/n, arenât you working on the STEM school project? Sheâs also a professor!â The King spoke with pride in his voice, making you want to hide in a corner.
A humble but nervous chuckle left your lips. âIt was just a week of me teaching lectures, Baba.â Your words made the whole room laugh but his smile was the brightest. âBut yes, the STEM project is still in its early days but a lot of students are interested which makes me happy.â You concluded with a small smile.
Lewis looked impressed. Wait. Since when did you care what anyone thought of your hard work? Especially a man that you knew would be a major distraction to the single lifestyle youâve lived all these years. You had much to focus on and becoming Queen of Zamunda was at the top of your list.
But why not let loose a little? âLive a littleâ as your sisters often say whenever you come back home exhausted.
âIs that so? Lewis here has his own foundation for kids in STEM, specifically for motorsport!â The tall team principal smiled and it took everything in you to look into the manâs eyes as you felt them on you.
âI could tell you more about it if youâd like.â Lewis spoke in a calm, low voice. You wanted to walk closer so that you could hear his words travel through you, wanting to listen to every word he had to say to you, every action he wanted to do to y-
Taking a breath and putting a soft smile on your face, you nodded. âIâd like that, thank you.â Talks of hot laps and tours started flying around but you couldnât hear a word that was said. What was wrong with you? All this man had done was look into your eyes and you felt like you could melt. Lewis clearly used this gentlemanly charm to persuade everyone around him, including your father.
Watching him converse with your family had unleashed a new swarm of butterflies in your stomach, something you hadnât truly felt in a long time. You had been with one or two people casually but none had ever satisfied you, only caring about your status as Princess. However, you had a gut feeling about something but you didnât want to dwell on it yet.
âShall we go for the tour now?â Totoâs voice boomed around the room with a clap of his hands.
-
Feeling a nudge on your arm, you turn to look at your mom as your attention was on the screens around the garage. âAre you going to bring him to Zamunda?â Your mother teased with a smile. Your eyebrows furrowed before you realised who she was referring to.
âMother, Iâd rather not talk about that now. Letâs just enjoy where we are now.â You put your hand on your momâs then turned to look at the screen.
âHeâd make a lovely prince. Itâs okay to separate yourself from work, you know? I want you to live a little, my angel.â She continued, enveloping both her hands around yours.
You opened your mouth to speak but she beat you to it. âDonât worry about your father. Heâd be ecstatic if you brought this one home. You still have a lot of time left, Y/n.â
Knowing your mother was right, you breathed in and refocused your attention to qualifying. Lewis seemed to be doing well, even his driving looked attractive to you. Okay, calm it down girl.
After quali, the Mercedes hospitality was buzzing even though the skies were ever gray. Munching on a piece of cake, you offered a smile to those who would walk past and gawk at you. It was evident that F1 had made quite the big deal about your family merely attending a race weekend but you never expected this attention much on you.
A camera crew stayed outside and continuously took pictures of you sitting by your lonesome and you hoped for something to distract you from the feeling of being watched. Surprisingly, the crew began walking away after looking behind you for a split second and the cologne that suddenly surrounded you made it very clear who did it.
âSorry if they were bothering you, your highness.â Lewis spoke, eventually standing in front of you yet not taking a seat across. Chuckling a bit, you looked up at him. âI thought we spoke about the title, Lewis.â
âYes we did but I canât let the media know you like that, only Iâve received the honour.â He smiled and there were the butterflies again. âIf youâd like to sit down, you may.â You offered with the sweetest smile. Taking your offer, he never took his eyes off you.
It was quiet as he observed you. âWhat?â Looking like a deer in headlights, you placed your spoon down. âYouâre a powerhouse. Iâve seen you represent your country and how much love you have for it. Itâs admirable.â
You were taken aback. You hadnât received such compliments from someone you were interested in. âWell, now I feel terrible because Iâve got no clue about your sport.â You spoke, covering your mouth with your floating hand.
âThatâs okay, Princess.â All he did was say those words and you felt like a puddle all over again. âYouâre doing that thing with your eyes again.â You pointed out, wondering if he could see right through your demeanour.
âWhat thing are my eyes doing, Y/n?â
ââŠIâd rather not say it in public.â
Lewisâ smirk widened as you said that. He thought it would be a challenge to try make a move on you as you seemed reserved unlike the rest of your family. âWhy not? Iâm quite curious to hear your thoughts.â He smiled, adjusting his arms to rest on the table.
âNot in your teamâs hospitality suite.â You quickly replied, your eyes darting everywhere but him.
âY/n.â Lewis just said your name and just like that, your thoughts became improper. Locking eyes with him, you knew that he was teasing you, something that you were never able to experience others.
âWe can speak about our foundations over dinner!â You quickly suggested, barely registering what just came out of your mouth. âDinner sounds perfect however that was supposed to be my line.â He joked and you couldnât help but laugh.
-
Everything felt chaotic. You had returned to the hotel from the race which was extremely exhilarating and he had gotten a relatively high position which made you proud.
As you were leaving your seat in the garage a few hours ago, Lewis had approached you knowing very well that the cameras were watching the exchange between the two of you. âI forgot to mention how gorgeous you looked earlier.â He said as he was standing relatively close to you.
âLewis! You canât say that, the cameras are watching.â You whisper yelled, looking at the cameras pointed at the scene before them. All he did was laugh and turn on his heel before turning his head to you. âIâll see you at 7 pm , your highness.â He winked and just like that, he was gone.
And that whole memory ran through your mind as you paced up and down your hotel room. You were all ready for the dinner but you were feeling somethingâŠdifferent. It was normal for you to have dinners but this one had a certain tension hanging over it. You smoothed out your dress with your hands as you paced.
Another thing that drove you crazy was that you had no clue of what exactly was happening. You always knew the time, setting and guests of everything you did but now you were completely out of the loop but you had trust in him, as insane as it sounds.
The knock on your door pulled you out of your thoughts and you took a breath before turning the doorknob to reveal Lewis standing there with a bouquet of flowers you couldnât recognise but your heart grew at the sight of them. Your eyes glided over him as you looked at his outfit, a white cardigan with black slacks and designer chunky shoes. He smiled and you almost fell to your knees just looking at him more relaxed and sexy.
âYou look absolutely beautiful, Y/n.â He complimented, his own eyes moving all over your body. He couldnât help but admire your beauty as you stood before him. You were the embodiment of a princess and you never failed to exude such energy as you did.
âUh, would you like to come in? I just have to get my heels.â You spoke as you opened the door a little wider. The room smelt of a scent he couldnât quite grasp but he definitely labelled it as an aphrodisiac because Lewis began feeling his hands getting hot. He made his way to the couch right by the large window as you closed the door.
You stood in the middle of the room with your fingers pinching your lip in nervousness. The tension could be cut with a knife with the way he was watching you. âUm so, howâd you plan this?â You asked, finally looking at Lewis but you noticed his eyes were slightly lower.
âYour sisters are quite the wingwomen.â He spoke, adjusting his body to sit comfortably.
âRight, rightâŠâŠâ
A beat passed before he leaned forward. âPrincess, is everything okay?â
âDo you think we could skip dinner? I never usually do this but I donât think I can go another moment.â You blurted out, too afraid to see his reaction to your raunchy suggestion.
Another moment of silence passed and you felt defeated. You felt like youâd gone on too strong and thatâs not what you envisioned at all.
âY/n.â He called and you picked your head up to look up.
âCâmere.â

Timeline: Part 9 - December 1-10 2017
For earlier timeline posts: click here or here.
December starts out strong with a daily bombardment of tons of stories about Meghan and/or Harry. Their PR backs off in the middle of the month, but only barely. Luckily for us, there is salvation: Meghan gets her first, second, third, and fourth dose of royal criticism.
Like I mentioned in the November 2017 timeline, this month sees Meghan pulling her support from Star Magazine, US Weekly, and E Online. People Magazine begins to earn her loyalty instead.
Ok, apparently I exceeded the limit of links that can be in a Tumblr post. the December edition is going to be split up into smaller segments. I've got a solution for how to fix this going forward, but it's going to take some time to figure out how to implement it.

12/3/2017: Meghan merches the Botswana camp again. The Times writes about Meghan's old instagram account and Bogart and leads speculation about bridesmaids and pageboys. Et tu, Times?!
Note: December 2 is a Saturday and December 3 is a Sunday. How nice Meghan's PR gave us a break for the weekend. But don't worry...the bombardment is back!

8. Essential Birdwatching Equipment for Your Rwanda Adventure
To make the most of your birdwatching experience in Nyungwe, you'll need:
Binoculars: A good pair of binoculars is essential for observing birds.

Born and raised in Southern California, Meghan attended Los Angeles based all-girls Catholic School, Immaculate Heart, which she continues to support as an alumna, before moving to Chicago to attend the prestigious Northwestern University. While there, she double majored in Theater and International Relations, and went on to intern at the US Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as well as to study abroad in Madrid, Spain. After graduation, Meghan turned her focus to the entertainment industry, landing her big break as a lead actor on the hit series, âSuitsâ which she starred in for seven seasons. During her time off between filming, Meghan travelled to Rwanda, India, and across the globe working on humanitarian missions, and serving in key roles such as: UN Womenâs Advocate for Womenâs Political Participation and Leadership, a World Vision Global Ambassador, and a leading Counsellor to One Young World, where she inspired youth and women around the world through her passionate advocacy and hands-on approach to being of service. She also travelled to support the military community on a USO Tour, visiting six military bases in seven days including Bagram, Afghanistan. In 2018, Meghan married Prince Harry, becoming The Duchess of Sussex.
An accomplished writer, she has contributed pieces to publications in the UK, US, and Ireland, and parlayed that skill into the creation of the successful lifestyle website, âThe Tigâ, where her thoughtful and inspiring op-eds cultivated a global fanbase. The Duchess of Sussex was the first guest editor in the history of British Vogue for their July Issue in 2019, which was the fastest selling copy in the history of the publication. She and Prince Harry founded The Archewell Foundation in 2020 to support communities in need at a micro and macro level, in both moments of crisis as well as for long term aid. At The Archewell Foundation, they hold the value that charitable work should not simply be âa handout, but rather a hand heldâ, a phrase which Meghan first coined when supporting UK charity Smart Works, of which she is patron, that uplifts and prepares underserved women to enter the workforce. Meghan and her husband also founded and oversee production company, Archewell Productions and podcasting arm, Archewell Audio. In 2022, Meghan launched âArchetypesâ, a record-breaking podcast exploring the labels that try to hold women back; âArchetypesâ debuted at Number 1 in The US, UK, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand, and topped the charts as the Number 1 podcast in 47 countries, demonstrating her unparalleled global reach. After its first season, Archetypes was awarded was awarded The Peopleâs Choice Award in the podcast category.
She is a NY Times Best Selling author, publishing her highly celebrated childrenâs book, âThe Benchâ, and âTogether: Our Community Kitchenâ a publication she spearheaded with the women of the Hubb Community Kitchen in the UK, who were displaced after the tragic Grenfell Fire. True to her character, The Duchess of Sussex mobilized to turn pain into purpose, working alongside this dynamic group of women to help them heal, grow, and develop their own business enterprises in the face of adversity. In addition to topping the NY Times Bestsellers list, âTogether,â also debuted as number one on the UKâs Sunday Booklist, with proceeds going to the Kitchen. Meghanâs influence in fashion has been coined âThe Meghan Effectâ with items selling out within hours of her wearing them. Her âeffectâ has transcended fashion, shifting cultural conversations as seen with her op-ed for the NY Times âThe Losses We Share.â The piece detailed a heartbreaking personal loss which spiked the conversation surrounding miscarriage to the highest it had been spoken of in over two decades at the time of publishing.
Meghan is a passionate advocate for mental health and family care, the holistic support of women and childrenâs rights, and the immeasurable value of oneâs self worth. Her core belief that representation matters, and her connection to community through the lens of learning, healing, and inspiring have helped define her as a cultural catalyst for positive change. Meghan resides in California with her husband and their children Prince Archie Harrison and Princess Lilibet Diana, and their three dogs.

"Don't hate the player, hate the game." Maybe we should hate both. There's padding a resume but then there's a work of fiction which is what Meghan Markle is determined to pass off as her professional bio. Grab your sick bucketđ€ą before examining more proof that this vile woman can't tell THE TRUTH even if her life depends on it. There simply aren't enough pinocchios in the world to highlight these lies.

The interview is below:
Adriana Lima Is âPersistingâ as a Model to Empower Young Girls, Including Daughter Valentina (Exclusive)
 Lima, who made her Victoriaâs Secret return in her 40s, tells PEOPLE that she hopes aspiring models, like her 12-year-old, will be 'accepted in every stage of her lifeâ
Adriana Lima hopes her work paves the way for the next generation of models, her daughter Valentina included.
Lima, 42, is in a period of her life in which she feels grateful to not only represent women, especially those in the Latina community but also moms on such a major scale, especially with her new campaign with Victoria's Secret supporting the brand's new The Icon collection.
What she also wants now is to set an example for her 12-year-old daughter, who wants to become a model, to know that at any age, anything can happen.
âAs you can see with the campaign, I [helped] change the fashion industry in a way that every woman, every lady is accepted in every stage of their life no matter how old they are and accepted in fashion. That's my goal and that's the reason I'm still modeling, still persisting, in being a part of the fashion industry. I think the industry is accepting that, and it's really wonderful to see,â Lima tells PEOPLE exclusively.Â
Lima hopes other young girls starting out as models will experience the fruits of her labor as well. âThat's a wonderful thing and that's why I'm still here,â Lima adds of contributing in a way that opens up the field for women of all ages.Â
Although Limaâs other two children â daughter Sienna, 10 (Lima co-parents her and Valentina with ex Marko JariÄ) and son Cyan, 16 months, whom she shares with current boyfriend Andre Lemmers â are still young, she plans on teaching them the beauty of getting older and choosing what sparks their joy over everything else.Â
âIt's important for me that number one, that whatever they do, theyâll be happy with their choices. If they figure out they're not happy that they can change. Number two is that they embrace themselves and that they're not afraid to grow up or become older. Every stage of life there are different perks, experiences and things that you'll learn."
Itâs no surprise that Valentina has expressed interest in the fashion world.
When Lima caught up with PEOPLE in April for the relaunch of Victoriaâs Secretâs Heavenly Eau de Parfum, she revealed that both of her daughters were developing a "big-time" interest in fashion.
"Actually, they give me hints on fashion. They go, 'Mom can I do your makeup today? Mom, can I choose your outfit?'" the FIFA: A Love Letter to Rwanda executive director said.

Nice work! It's subtle, effective design choices like that that make a great uniform...
Speaking of great designs, this year had some stunners:
For example, Haiti's uniforms, designed by Haitian-Italian designer Stella Jean and featuring printed paintings by notorious Haitian artist Philippe Dodard. Jean wanted to showcase the beauty of Haiti despite its political turmoil, with traditionally-woven jackets for the women, and a traditional shirt ("karabela") for the men. "Creativity is not subordinate to GDP," Jean writes. "Creativity is not limited by latitude, nor by wounds."
Mongolia's uniforms, designed by sisters Michel & Amazonka. The rich embroidery on the vests evokes imagery that ties Mongolia's national Naadam festival to the lighting of the Olympic torch, with the mountains evoking the country's terrain while symbolizing the challenges the athletes overcame to participate.
Uniforms from the Philippines, designed by Francis Libirian. In addition to mimicking the shape and colors of the nation's flag, the iconic and genderless sarongs are worn over simple white shirt and slacks in a simple, stylish, manner.
Sri Lankan uniforms, designed by LOVI Ceylon (a brand founded by Asanka De Mel to create a globally-recognized and proudly Sri Lankan look). A modern take on the 1800s Nilame and Manike (Prince and Princess) attire, these uniforms are painstakingly hand-embroidered with tens of thousands of beads, showcasing superb craftsmanship and pride.
Uniforms for South Sudan's basketball team, designed by Rwandan company Moshions.
As the single outdoor basketball court in Southern Sudan was dirt and not measured to regulation, the team had to fly 500 miles to Rwanda on basketball federation president Luol Deng's dime to practice, making their defeat to Serbia all the more heartbreaking. Despite this, the country and coaches were proud of their athletes for their progress, and promised to return in 2028.
Palestinian uniforms (unknown designer):
The only design-related information I could find regarded the approval of flag-bearer Waseem Abu Sal's shirt, depicting bombs dropped on children playing soccer:
