Aunty has been thinking.

I was going to march off like "Sugar" the real one played by Marilyn Monroe, not the toxic miasma of psychos round Megs, in Some Like It Hot. Back to the camera heading for the (First Class) Carraige hand up fingers wiggling tears in me eyes.....

I was very touched by the messages of support and loved "think of the children" and well Colleen. We all have our weaknesses and I love a scamp with a temper.

I have absolutely no wish to have the last word or cause trouble for my antagonist but the last straw was the suggestion that I owed someone an apology. I made a simple rule when deciding to show off post on here which is that I would not become involved in any online spats or name calling with people whom I am never likely to meet, even though I enjoy their company. Dont get me wrong, Im very good at arguing with people, I enjoy it, and I used to be paid to do it.

I hate patronising "professional" folk. GP's are easily the worst. The Clients from hell, margianlly worse than other self-righteous egomaniancs, like Architects, because simple folk are impressed and they think they are morally superior. I digress, to be unjustly accused of "punching down" and "patronising" someone was hurtful, and Aunty is sensitive. I was also a little concerned that so many people appeared to agree with the criticisms - I mean Why?

So lets put it behind us and never refer to it again.

I love Harry Markle. Killer Style lots of work and fascinating inisghts but despite the reference to their Law Professors they are no lawyer and teh piece suffers from what the medico-legal lot call "Functional Overlay". More detail follows.

Aunty sends Norbs a hug - I thought we were friends....xxx

I think I have the answer to the basement tapes/hostage video aspects of the panhandlers lockdown macmansion.

Just look at it. Its not a home. Its a status symbol for holding parties. Its a Hotel. In normal times you'd need a huge staff to keep the place functioning. As Alan Bennets mum said on seeing St Pauls for the first time "It'd be a bugger to dust". There are only 4 of them living there (and whatever security Chas is prepared to pay for - obviously it was chosen to minimise the need for actual "soldiers").

The Nanny (who they cannot under any circumstances afford to lose) will have ensured she has a watertight contract defining duties given the reputation of the bitch employing her. She and the baby will have their own room and Megs will be there by appointment only. So its the two of them, some ex Squaddies who hate them behind their backs (watching Porn elsewhere) and all that expensive bad taste. Marble floors. Acres of suede. Vast rooms full of dog shit and hurled copies of Oprah's book club.

Yes Tyler Perry's no-ones fool. You have a big fuck off useless mansion for holding parties that arent happening anytime soon. Some bastard is noisily building an equally hideous pile next door. Its lockdown and arranging security and maintainance would cost a kings ransom. What would Oprah do? "Get in some poor rellies Ty Ty. Know any white trash honey? They are always so grateful.. Stock up the servants kitchen with frozen Pizzas and move the fuckers in with some mops."

He gets some underling to call Megsy: "Now most of the house will be shuttered so you'll be staying in the Housekeepers flat. If you could just run round the rest of it with the Henry a couple of times a day, and put the lights on upstairs every night, Im afraid the pools not heated unless Mr Tylers home but you can go wherever you like in the grounds...I'd avoid the upstairs bedroom with the photo of the twin girls...No-one can find the code forThe Wine Cellar.."

Its The fucking Shining! The Overlook Hotel! Harry is in the basement typing (with one finger and a dictionary):

ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES HARRY A DULL BOY
ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES HARRY A DULL BOY

Careful with that axe Harry!

My theory is that this is the book she’s going to be willing to put her name to when the time is right (for her) - and not the current one which Scabies allegedly wrote. After all, if the current book is badly received, she can pin that on him. Smeg’s diaries will be a nasty little tell-all, full of little stories about her (brief) time as part of the British RF. Presumably with a spin which makes them all sound hideous. It will be billed as an exposé of life inside the walls of the palace by someone who “found freedom” :rolleyes:

I don’t doubt that the Scabies book will be a gossip rag’s wet dream, but it really is just the warm up act for what she can do. If she publishes those diaries, then she’s going for a whole new genre of tell-all, and she knows it. The diaries are the book which could cause real damage. Smeg is just biding her time:mad:
She thinks shes Diana but in reality she's Paul Burrell.

So Harry Markle is a great Blog and I always enjoy its content and there's nothing worse (or more common) than lawyers slagging off other peoples work in tones dripping with condescension. Still, here goes.

ALL lawyers (except of course Aunty, who is kind and good and always right) think they are uniquely clever, and know more about how the world wags than mere mortals; but in fact most of them are over-paid bureaucrats transferring property and recovering (or defending) debts. Only a relative handful dress up and ponce about in the scarifying atmosphere of Court, or right great wrongs. Some of the most stupid people I've met have been lawyers, and boy can they get their clients into bother.

So, anyway, one of the biggest mistakes most people make about the Law is to think: (a) its about justice; (b) its common-sense dressed up in Jargon. I used to tell my clients that if they wanted (a) they should read Aristotle (Colleen, I understand, was a bugger for the Nichomachean Ethics); and (b) you might want common sense but what you will get is The Law; and you will get it good and long and hard.

I think Harry M has applied these standards to the Judgment. The result demonstrates just how tricky it is to explain legal matters in "simple" terms (like Quantum Physics, only better paid), or to understand what the "Rules" really mean. The "Summary" is in many ways longer and certainly (uncharacteristically, Harry M writes brilliantly) a far more difficult read, then the original. It implies that the Judgement was a terminal denunciation of both her and her incompetent lawyers. It really isnt.

Although it was a very bad and embarassing (and perhaps wost of all a predictable) defeat; plenty of Parties lose this badly early on, in Applications engineered by the other side to do them over for being careless, and still go on to win. Its the Law, not a novel. The rules of narrative dont apply. The bad guys often win because, they know how to. Lets not forget Associated are cunts and theyve been at this (1896) longer than the House of Windsor (1917).

It is true that there were cutting criticisms of the Drafting by Madams (glamorous ie: takes a good photo and has acted for someone on the telly) Counsel (Sherbourne) but these are pretty routine. Judges come from the same elite group as the Barristers in front of them (some of the smartest people Ive ever met), and they often nurture lethal feuds stemming from an unfortunate bail application is Southend in the 1980's, or something romantic, or at least reasonably moist, after a (famously wild) chambers party, or whatever they get up to at Eton. Still Sherbourne was being taken down a peg or two for his snotty dismissal of what turned out to be the winning sides requests.

Hisonner is very careful not to obviously criticise the Client. They are after all acting on advice and are unlikely to be reponsible for legal errors (though often actually they are). In the final judgement, if they got to Trial, what he really thinks will be made clear; and he's already most unimpressed. I think the most telling line as I pointed out in my first post on the Judgement, is about her having to "clarify" the allegation about "stereotyping the entire Black Community". A clear indication that he's "on" all the wild allegations of waycism she uses to get her way; and isnt having any.

Meggsy's unlovely Lawyers have made the classic mistake of thinking the Mail would have to settle and they over-egged the Pud thinking it would improve their negotiating position (ker-ching); and Megs would be just making up figures, to spend on vulgar tat. It all went tits when the stupid bastards flounced out of the RF and dissed the most popular Monarch since Elizabeth 1st; and the Mail got the best lawyers.

A household name, lets say he was on Dragons Den and Cathy Burke fancied the pants off him (and he was adorable if utterly ruthless), once said to me after I had given him some advice he didnt want to hear: "[ ] I dont pay you to tell me I have to pay my bills. I already know that".

If she has any of that chaps acumen and savoir faire she'll blame the lawyers and get out now. I suspect however, that despite the rat-like cunning, she's not that bright; and the bullshit specilialists now "advising" her are out of their depth (except at bitching over the Piquante Cocktails at Soho House whilst bullying the cuter waiters) and she wont see sense until that stake is coming out of her mouth. Something Associated vastly superior team will delight in doing. Essentially, until whoever is meeting the Bills says "You pay for it"; and Schillings, or whoever shes using if she sacks them (in the mistaken belief this will change the facts), ask for yet another £500,000 on account to "go to trial" which shes now been advised in writing that shes probably going to lose. The legal Insurance Companies are always a player, and they have the best lawyers of all.

I suspect everytime a missive from the Lawyers pops into her Inbox (complete with a Bill) she puts down the pool-boy and slips down to the dungeon to kick seven bells out of Dimbo shouting about how much she hates the Limey's and how low he has brought her..... Lovely...couldnt happen to a better "cause"...shine a light..she's going down Captain I cannae save her...!

Ok so I had lunch with a pal who’s friend owns a big stately home in England. I mention to her how I thought H has always been a petulant, obnoxious little shit but that the palace have done a relatively good job of covering up this for years, and that It’s only now the gloves are off, that we are seeing the punk for what he is. She told me that apparently, years ago before Kate and William were married, they, Harry and friends wanted to stay at this home for a shoot. Kate and William were lovely, normal, polite and respectful. Harry - took the fire extinguisher off the wall In one of the rooms and was running around with it like a complete entitled disrespectful twat.

Ive been thinking about Meghans big book "Mein Trampf".

Its a bit like her forthcoming starring role in the live action re-make of Dumbo ie Hype. I dont think any major studio is suddenly going to cast her in a starring role in a major picture. There may be interest in seeing how dreadful she might be. Some people would go and see a Mike Leigh Film with Theresa May playing a stripper (well I would) but they wouldnt queue to see it. Even Sam Goldwyn at the height of his powers couldnt make the beautiful Anna Sten into a movie star, despite wasting millions, because she just wasnt very good and people didnt like her. Its a lesson thats never been forgotten.

With Mein Trampf: whats the worst that might be in it? Camilla tried to poison her? Kate told he off for high fiving a waiter "Those were bum-ass Zuchini Fries" (I love Kyle Dunnigan - his psychotic Caitlilyn La Bruce is a masterpiece). Some of the crustier old queens in the protocol department thought she was no better than she ought to be? The Queen is a lesbian......few will believe it and no-one really cares. We've put up with the lot from our Royals: Nazi sympathising, extravagance and snobbery, Prince Andrew, Its a Royal Knockout any amount of Fergie; and we still love them.

Meantime she's unemployed, staying in parts of a rented house with a minor member of the British aristorcacy who used to be hot in a weird way, and has no talent beyond the kind of little boy self pity that used to appeal to your Gran before he pissed off the Queen. What she needs is the attention before she starts flogging zirconian Russian Tiara's on QVC.

'HOW much does he want this time....?'View attachment 130012
Most likely showing my age here, but does anyone remember the old BBC series Keeping Up Appearances, where the son (Sheridan?) who is away at university, only ever calls his parents when he wants cash, usually for some weird club he claimed to be joining. The Dad always said “How much does he want this time?” whenever Sheridan called. I wonder if Camilla does that when Hazza calls home?

I wonder what "The Firm" knew about her, I mean surely they would have done their checks on her, is it confirmed about her mum's time away? Surely it would be public knowledge by now? Why not? Regardless of race, if he'd met a white girl with a dubious past, and mum like that would it have been allowed?
Ginger didn't care. He stamped his trotters and whined like he's done all his life to get his own way. If he was told of her past by his family he just didn't care. She has a magic minge and sucks like a dyson and he imagined he'd have access to that for ever more. Good luck with that. I bet that minge is locked up good and tight now in reinforced big knickers now that she's got everything she wanted.
Make no mistake, he will have threatened all sorts of dire consequences if they took his Barbie dolly from him. I firmly believe that's why Brenda played hard ball over the mexit deal for him. She'd given him his big wedding and his barbie dolly bride and she had it up to her crown with his demands and still he was flouncing like Scarlet O Hara, so she slapped his arse hard. Did you see the face on him at the senable leaving speech the night he left the UK? 😁He was fucking fuming and near to tears because he knew he was going to have to tell smeggy that gangan took away their HRH and all his pretty uniforms and the red carpet gigs she coveted so SO much.
Go granny go.

While you are here aunty ... do you think smeggy might settle out of court?
Also would Piers back pedaling possibly be part of an agreement re the settlement? Is that normal?
Morning dears....in my head Tattle is a cross between St Trinians and a coffee morning jailhouse hooch session at the Murmansk Female High Security Unit. Ive been asked in for a "briefing". Im a bit nervous....

Its possible the Editor has had a "word" with Morgan about his contract personality disorder, as part of which he's been asked to tone down the more obviously insane ranting; equally its possible that even Piers has seen far enough round his ego to recognise he's fucked up his career; but he's apologised for the wrong thing.

Whatever you might think about Boris (and if youre a demented Remainer you are going to carry that hatred to your grave, and you know what - noone cares any longer but you and Araminta, and youre making fools of yourselves) hes doing his best and the political project to pin the blame for a virus on the Government has no traction with the public (here or in America) oops sorry I'm not Rod "the Rod" Liddle.

Settlement:
As Colleen (be still my beating heart, could she be any foxier?) has just illustrated it is actually compulsory to try and sort out the dispute before trial even if you know youre going to win, and you hate the bitch on the other side. If you fail to do so even if you do win you can be denied costs. Most parties these days chose a formal procees Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in which the parties hire some conceited retired judge to act as Arbitrator and sit around posing; whilst the party whose lawyers know they are going to lose (and hasnt quite told their client this yet) tries to act tough whilst agreeing almost any terms that save some face.

Its often the last opportunity for the parties, who will hate each other, to meet and basically if someone doesnt storm out like Bette Davis in the first 30 minutes you hang around talking to the hand in public whilst the lawyers negotiate a figure (in this case her contribution to the other sides costs) often for days; and some unimportant details like a public statement or the return of property and meaningless promises of good behaviour or undying love. In the current circumstances it will all be Zoom and its not unusual for self important cunts people like Megs to appear via Agents they control remotely.

If her lawyers have any sense they will try and do it right now and tie it to settlement of the costs liability incurred after the earlier disaster, to save a further hearing. She might as well bite the bullet and pay all their costs so far (or a "contribution" which could be above 80%) now, whilst they are still just at the level of a 2 bedroom flat in Dalston, as opposed to Manhattan.

It will be a fascinating negotiation. She will want secrecy, at almost any cost, so Balloon Boy can claim victory, and the party with the upper hand wont. Often aresholes people like Meghan dont care and gamble recklessly seeing ADR as an opportunity to show off turn over the tables then "settle at the door" (in reality a stiffling meeting room in the ghastly Rolls Building of the High Court, you see some sights..) when pressure is at thermonuclear levels, as the trial is about to begin and someone is spending about £10,000 an hour, seriously. Dont forget she's not paying. In a way we are...

Now, Aunty has "things" to attend to, you be good girls like Aunty expects xx

This pair and their desire for privacy are a bloody joke. If they REALLY wanted privacy they could easily have it. I worked in Bracknell for many years and to get there I used to drive through Binfield, which is a nice village just outside Bracknell. There's an absolutely immaculate property there (can't see the house itself but the entrance and some of the grounds are visible). The property is called Binfield Manor. I always wondered who owned this lovely property and so I asked a colleague who lived in Binfield herself. Her answer? The Sultan of Brunei! She said he uses it as a base when he's here in England for the summer season - Royal Ascot, Wimbledon etc. The Sultan of Brunei is one of the wealthiest people on the planet and I had NO idea he owned this house and lived there in the summer - now when did you last see a pap shot of him or his family? He clearly really cherishes his privacy and doesn't invite attention like our two least favourite ex-Royals.

Hi all 🙋‍♀️
I've been happily lurking in the background for months now, chuckling at the wittiness and insights of so many of you. What made me pick up the proverbial pen, is a news article I saw from my country of origin giving women advice on how to care for your hair during the lockdown, and they were referring to you-all-know-who as an example of a woman whose hair is always flawless. Puh-lease 🧐😒

And regarding the privacy screens; in my new-build neighbourhood the developer won't even allow the change of plants in the front garden without explicit permission for the first 7 years as it would apparently, I editorialise, "cheapen" the neighbourhood🙄 And this is not Beverly Hills. I can only imagine how thrilled the neighbours are with the arrival of the M&H :poop: show.

OH FUCK!
Not sure why any designer would particularly want her to wear their clothes. She’s a difficult shape, has no sense of what suits her and doesn’t understand how to put an outfit together. Now that she’s an ex-royal and a former actress in a minor tv series I don’t know what kudos she could bring to a brand.

You really don’t have to be a genius to see that this book is going to be horribly divisive. Which is obviously exactly what Smeg wants, given that she’s doing her best to whip up a shitstorm over it before it comes out. Which again leads me to ask “Why would you do that to your husband’s family?”, no matter how much you felt they had personally wronged you. After all, even if you don’t want their money or titles (Ha!) they are still a) Powerful people and b) Your son’s grandparents, aunts and uncles, who have never done any wrong to your child. Imagine how hurt Brenda is going to be. How much further can they seriously push her before she says enough is enough and strips them of their titles and pocket money? They’re starting to make a mockery of her. They really are no better than the naughty kids in class who are enjoying winding up the teacher until the teacher snaps.

Sure, Smeg can hide behind Scabies’ supposed ghostwriting, but her huge huff about pushing “his” book to launch early shows that she’s well and truly involved in it. Why else would you care so deeply about a book someone else has written? And who else, other than a truly evil narcissist, would enjoy intentionally damaging a family? Rhetorical questions, sadly.
Well said and exactly why she can be totally seen through as a nasty , treachorous, peice of crap,,,her actions to this lovely courageous lady , 94 years of age, her husband's grandmother, her son's great grandmother, the lady who allowed her own son , ( our future king ) to walk this woman up the aisle cos her own dad wasn't able ? The queen of our country,,,and she Megan Murkletroyd thinks she can get away with upsetting any of us in the UK,,,, get over yourself you little dirty dishcloth,,,
