Bogart! Meghan’s visited a few times on return trips to Canada. “He’s a very happy dog.”

#FindingFreedom:“There have been some absolutely terrifying and stomach-churning threats made to Meghan since she started dating Harry,” an aide said. “Unfortunately, they continued for some time.”” (The reason M had mock kidnapping training pre-wedding).

#FindingFreedom: “Meghan, said the courtier, “arrived in this job a fully formed adult, having lived already a third of her life.“

#FindingFreedom Pains me but I have to agree w/ Low that this section abt Cardiff coverage is wrong...

- Everyone said the train was late & no one blamed H&M
- M did hi-five a girl

OTOH
- She did NOT sign an autograph
- She was killed 4 wearing black jeans (Hiut Denim says hi)

#FindingFreedom: Chapter 12 has a heavy focus on TOD, Jr, and Ninaki. Nothing new. They all suck.

#FindingFreedom: “It’s prayer and conversations with God that have gotten [Meghan] through the darkest moments,” a source said. “That’s something that plays a significant role in her life and her relationship with Harry. The two have been on a journey of faith together.”

#FindingFreedom “Doria was able to spend time with Oprah when she needed to get away from her house without worrying that she would use their friendship to get an interview...“Meghan will always be so grateful to Oprah for being someone her mother can turn to,” a source said.”

#FindingFreedom: “M’s very clear that despite everything that happened, ppl on her behalf aren’t to criticize him.The wk of the wedding there were lots of things that could’ve been said,but she...took the long POV that correcting the record wasn’t worth trashing her father.”

#FindingFreedom: “she settled on a navy-blue sundress and heels for the evening.” (For the group blind date)

#FindingFreedom: ““You look amazing. I missed you,” Harry told Meghan. “Thank you,” she replied shyly.”

#FindingFreedom: “No one was happier for Harry than Harry , who delivered an off-the-cuff speech about how excited he was to be part of this new team and acknowledging how his bride had navigated the challenge of putting together this event...“with such grace.””

#FindingFreedom: James Corden’s wife Julia is a friend of Meghan’s. Who knew?

#FindingFreedom:“a trusted confidant said Meghan “found such a supportive & loving father in Charles, which has really changed her life for the better.” Not a father-in-law but a “2nd father””

PoW is said to have reco’d Bishop Curry. Calling BS since Welby said it was his reco.

#FindingFreedom: “The Queen had a level of confidence in Meghan, because as a Palace source shared, “she handles these situations flawlessly because she’s always well prepared and respectful. She’s very clever and good at understanding what’s required.””

#FindingFreedom: Omid & I part ways here. He says H&M shared pregnancy at Eugenie’s wedding. With WhatsApp groups & the phone, I’m sticking with the original announcement that it was the 1st time the family saw them to congratulate them in person. Eugenie can tell me different.

#FindingFreedom: “While royals pulling in big crowds is no new feat, there was something different about the Sussexes’ oceanic visit. Young people who never had interest in the British monarchy had suddenly become engaged with the royals.”

#FindingFreedom: H&M were drenched in Deet in Fiji & Tonga and in Tonga “health authorities sprayed chemicals twice in the area 2 days before” their arrival.

And of course their was the Mosquito Song.

#FindingFreedom: “despite the glowing press accounts, the couple had grown dissatisfied w/ Melissa’s work & were not disappointed when she left. Meghan wondered if someone at KP, where Melissa had some good friends, was more interested in protecting one of their own than her.”

#FindingFreedom: “At their lowest moments, H&M appreciated the support of the #SussexSquad, their global fandom who support the couple online. The passionate supporters...regularly defended them from negativity...& pushed the Sussexes’ activities into the top Twitter trends.”

#FindingFreedom: “Inspired by H&M’s charity work, the “Squad” has even gone on to launch initiatives of their own, such as the #GlobalSussexBabyShower...& planting 100,000 trees...in the couple’s names. “To see that support & positivity means a lot,” Harry told a friend.”

#FindingFreedom: “There are people, whether they work w/ the family or are members of the family,that know that a lot of this stuff isn’t true,& aren’t allowed to say anything,like that ridiculous story abt Meg & Catherine,abt the bridesmaids dresses,” a trusted confidant shared”

#FindingFreedom: Just a note. As you guys know, I don’t like to post screenshots as a rule but again Low’s editorialized version here is instructive.

#FindingFreedom: Brit Fashion Council Awards IG photo booth pic with Meghan,Clare, & Rosamund Pike was removed. “A British Fashion Council source, however, said the org took down the photo because of the deluge of racist comments posted underneath,” contrary to palace comments.

#FindingFreedom: “A number of courtiers believe there were some working in the institution who were biased against Meghan because she was an American and a former actress. There are inherently different working styles between Americans and Brits.”“

#FindingFreedom: “Americans can be much more direct, and that doesn’t often sit well in the much more refined institution of the monarchy. Sometimes the American matter-of-fact tone in British society could be viewed as abrasive.“

#FindingFreedom: “Meghan felt like some of the commentary and tabloid stories were more than a culture clash; they were sexist and prejudiced...The double standard was only exacerbated when it came to successful women of color, often labeled as demanding or aggressive.”

#FindingFreedom: Now we get the tea. This tiara story with Angela Kelly is . Omid blows the whole lie up. It might be a minute before he gets an invite to BP. No wonder they’re circling the wagons.

#FindingFreedom: The story of H&M picking her tiara is outlined in DETAIL. It’s an extended version of the 1 the couple shared in the audio tour for their wedding display. It’s very sweet. Now trying to schedule a hair trial...Ms. Kelly couldn’t be bothered.M didn’t just show up.

#FindingFreedom: “Harry, while obviously familiar with Palace protocol,didn’t believe that Angela was truly unavailable. Instead, he thought she was purposefully ignoring Meghan. What followed btwn the prince & Angela was a heated exchange that was far from the typical restraint”

#FindingFreedom: “Harry had no problem confronting the issue head on. “He was fed up,” said the aide. A senior BP aide insisted that Harry was simply being “oversensitive”...But...nothing could convince Harry that some of the old guard at the Palace simply didn’t like Meghan“”

#FindingFreedom: This sh!t always comes down to money. I’m gonna have to dig up 2 year old tweet receipts in a minute. 2 men finally stepping up as full-time working royals while still having to beg & barter w/ daddy for funding. Add to that, project funding isn’t based on merit.

#FindingFreedom: “There were times in the past that Harry wanted to take on bigger projects and do more work, but he couldn’t get the money to support it.”

#FindingFreedom: Juliet Hughes-Hallett,Smart Works “Meghan was excited & wanted to get involved from the very beginning”...“What struck everyone the most was her empathy & how good she was at making the women feel safe. Plus,she’s great fun to be around.”

Still 1 of my fave pics

#FindingFreedom: “in a compromise of sorts, they got their own small team w/in BP. Although it wasn’t all they asked for, it was more than what had originally been in the plan for them—an offer of sharing a staff with other royal family members under the larger BP umbrella.” https://twitter.com/royal_suitor/status/1269240194076536832

#FindingFreedom: I’m shocked by this one. Going to have to sit with it & go back to the court docs. I may have overinterpreted the statement that H&M did not hire Christian as a repudiation rather than I statement of fact. Still this Meghan-Christian lovefest is stunning.
