January 15, 2023
By Kaiser Gary GoldsmithNo coronation for Haz: “Fat chance of him being invited to the King’s Coronation now. I’d be happy if he never came back to this country. Why would the Royal Family want him here? Why would we, as a nation?
The bridesmaids’ dresses: “This made me see red. How dare Harry share such a confidence involving a young child? How he has the temerity to talk about moving to the U.S. to ‘protect his family and their privacy’ when he is prepared to violate his niece’s confidentiality is base hypocrisy. Harry claims to be reporting an exchange of texts when he writes that Meghan told Kate to go to the Palace, where her tailor, Ajay, was standing by to alter the dresses. But this — according to Harry — was not good enough for Kate, who tersely demanded that the dress be completely remade. Nonsense. I honestly don’t believe this version of the ‘facts’. Kate is self-sufficient, resourceful and extremely capable. She comes from a family of doers and fixers and has an amazing support system in her younger sister Pippa and her mum, my older sister Carole, who runs her own successful business. She has taught her girls to deal with problems with calm capability, not histrionics.
Kate’s no drama queen: “The Kate I know so well would never have caused a fuss. She’s not a drama queen; she’s not confrontational, as the book suggests. And she’d never pile more pressure on a bride. After all, she knows the tensions involved when you marry into the Royal Family all too well.
Meghan is “crass” apparently: But if there’s a manual on ‘How Not To Behave When Joining The Royal Family’, Meghan has been following it word for word! Entitlement, crassness and casual insensitivity hallmarked her encounters with Kate and William…Then there was the titanic arrogance of their first formal meeting. Meghan barged in to hug William, using her get-out-of-jail-free card — I’m American! — to explain this breach of etiquette. Surely Harry should have explained that a curtsy was the proper way to greet an heir to the throne?
This is getting bonkers: “She chose to go barefoot and wear ripped jeans when William and Kate (more formally dressed) first came to dinner. Wouldn’t it be respectful to make some sartorial effort if you were entertaining the future King for the first time? Anyone less overbearingly self-confident than Meghan might think so.
Carole won’t say a word: “Carole will be incredibly hurt and angry about the slights and calumnies heaped on William and Kate this week, but you won’t hear a peep from her. When your eldest child becomes the future Queen, you don’t get a manual on behaviour and etiquette, but Carole and her husband, Mike, know instinctively what to do…I know this week Kate’s hurt will be mostly for William, the King and Camilla — and she’ll be quietly getting on with her job as her mum taught her, looking after her husband and family. At her core is the Goldsmith way: family means everything. Kate will, of course, have phoned Carole, who will protect her like a lioness, but for both it will be business as usual.

“How dare he share so much intimate detail, like the following details I am about to publish further…”
I for one think the monarchy shouldn’t be allowed to be shrouded in mystery. It’s the people’s tax dollars that have supported this family and they deserve to know how it all works. Also Harry, as with anyone, is allowed to share their/his own life experiences.

” the proper way to greet an heir to the throne ” + ” entertaining the future King “: These phrases alone betray how blatantly superior by nature, culture and status these people are so profoundly persuaded they are. William literally thinks the sun shines out of his a## and he could lord it over Henry’s wife. Hell no, Meghan wasn’t wasn’t going to crawl and grovel to William. She hadn’t been cooking for Mr Future King, she was welcoming a brother with the warmth and spontaneity inherent to a normal individual.
Uncle Goldsmith has just confirmed that Prince William maniacally believes his sh#t doesn’t stink because he must be God’s gift to peasant mankind. The more these people attempt to negate the reality of SPARE’s accusations, the more they unwillingly indict themselves. The dinner was meant to be a first private informal, unceremonious encounter between modern in-laws from the same generation, but it appears that Karen and Brutewilly have mistaken the invite as a tour of the plantation where they’d be greeted by a well-handled, subservient, de-uppitized help?! 😅😂🤣.
I understand Uncle Gary’s disappointment: his commoner niece certainly didn’t want to be reminded of her background. And the more I look at that Gary man, the more I can see another version of Mike Tindall’s utter vulgarity. These two parvenus are duplicates on each end of the families.

It seems as though he’s more upset at Harry clarifying the issue which reveals his nieces disrespectful nasty true nature. Funnily enough they haven’t denied the story, they’re simply upset the truth is out.
This is why Harry and Meghan and their children have to stay away from these delusional people.

Looooooll omg so embarrassing. It’s all incredibly silly now we completely understand all the machinations. I’m cringing for them!!
Uncle Gary is truly the Thomas Markle of the UK, “how high?” whenever the Daily Mail comes running.
It’s really been quite fun watching them all scurry to keep playing by their silly book when Harry has blown the freaking doors off. Like just stop! It’s so weird and unnecessary!

I actually believe one part. Mike does know how to behave. He doesn’t put out propaganda about being a better grandparent or parent than Charles and he doesn’t send his dodgy relatives to insult RF members. Funny how it’s all about Meghan with Goldsmith when PH is the one who wrote the book. He’s another misogynist who has the view of the “perfect silent woman”.

Meghan it is— for the Middleton family. Her entrance into the Royal Family rattled them so much. The waity family will not want to take the spotlight on Meghan by lying low.
I still believe the Meghan made Kate cry story came from the Middletons though Camilla heard about it.

On my, a smart, intelligent biracial American woman is disrupting Kate “……getting on with her job as her mum taught her, looking after her husband and family.” Ugh what a throwback to the 1950s. Quiet wife & mother.

“Anyone less overbearingly self-confident than Meghan might think so.” As in Meghan should have dressed-up more when she first had dinner with William and Kate. How dare Meghan be so confident! Americans are just so overbearingly self -confident! Where’s the self-deprecation? Where’s the curtseys? Boo hoo, cry more, Uncle Gary.

They always tell on themselves. William and Kate were passed Meghan didn’t show them the deference they felt entitled to as the heir and his wife. How dare this lowly American not know her place and treat us as actual family.

This seems to be the crux of their hatred towards her. She wasn’t impressed and intimidated by them and she wasn’t grateful to be there. Therefore – abrasive, bully, rude.

Thats the difference between Meaghan and Will & Kate. Meaghan thought she was meeting her brother and sister in law. Not the future King & Queen. She was trying to make them family. Not employers. But Charles, William or Kate can’t seperate the two things.
Jay says:
January 15, 2023 at 9:10 am
Uncle Gary said the quiet part out loud – Meghan’s confidence and self-respect is seen as threatening. Because she didn’t simper and cower when she met Harry’s brother and his wife, she’s “arrogant”. Gary might just as well have said “uppity” because that’s clearly what he meant.

Exactly this. And they say she uses “I’m an American” as an excuse to not bow and scrape. Well that is a very valid one! She is not their servant, or subject. She doesn’t need to do that silliness. All she needs to do is what she has already done which is to treat them respectfully and civilly. Which is more than they have bothered to do for her.
ThatsNotOkay says:
January 15, 2023 at 1:51 pm
Meghan, even if brought back in some way into the fold, should never bow or curtsy to anyone, ever again. Wear your American with pride, Meghan. Stand and stay standing for all of us!

But you know if she dressed fancy she would gave been equally ridiculed by them for trying to act “above her station”. They were set from the very first meeting that she was never ever going to be one of them.

These defenses of W&K are funny too bc we’ve heard for years that they’re so “normal” behind closed doors (as part of KP PR, other sources obviously say otherwise). So now all of a sudden KP and the Wales’s and Middletons et Al are insisting that William must always be greeted with a curtsy and NEVER in bare feet!!!!

BeanieBean says:

Right? Normal Bill & Cathy are going to do things their way, do things differently, not the stuffy old way of the past! Except when it comes to deference, they still want that part! Why would somebody English be affronted about someone not bowing & scr#ping to another individual? Do they really enjoy being made to feel subservient? Do they really want to protect their less-than status? I just can’t understand this POV.
cws says:
January 15, 2023 at 8:01 pm
The emphasis on the proper greeting for a royal reminds me of the randy Andy story: No one rose out of their chairs when he entered a room so he left, saying, “Let’s try that again, shall we?”
I wonder if Will required Harry’s prior girlfriends to curtsy?
Meghan says:
January 15, 2023 at 10:47 am
Didn’t William and Kate… come to Meghan and Harry’s home? I mean personally I would probably throw on a day dress I’d wear to work but…. this was her home and she was supposed to bust out the formal wear?
I’m not a touchy-feely-huggy American, so ain’t nobody getting greeted with a giant hug, but yeah I can totally see wear jeans/being barefoot in my own home when my boyfriend’s brother comes for the first time. Hardly a crime, fashion or otherwise.
And even with all the gossip I read here, I wouldn’t know the protocol/expectation for my man’s brother is…. not jeans/barefoot in my own home. The Queen? Duh, you dress all fancy. Charles and Camilla? You’re probably not cooking for them at your home and know how to dress based on where you’re going/the plan for the first meeting.

BeanieBean says:
January 15, 2023 at 1:28 pm
And given that NottCot is a pretty spare, unfancy place, I would think jeans & bare feet fit perfectly. Those interiors don’t lend themselves to dressing up for dinner.
Christine says:
January 15, 2023 at 3:25 pm
Exactly, BeanieBean. Let me put on one of my fancy gowns, that lives on the rolling rack next to the bed, to go cook in a tiny kitchen, in my tiny cottage, for Can’t and Won’t. Sure, that’s reasonable.

So much for Kate and William being warm and casual people lol. They can’t keep their stories straight.
But yeah Meghan saw it as privately meeting her boyfriend’s brother and wife, not the heir and his wife. I’m sure she never imagined they would be formal and do things like curtsey when having a private family dinner. She was in it for personal, loving relationships not this weird hierarchy thing that they have going on.

Meghan says:
January 15, 2023 at 12:26 pm
And now I’m wondering if any of Harry’s white ex-girlfriends were required to curtsy in this kind of situation. (Pretty sure I know the answer to that one)
I’m taking my sweet time with Spare so maybe my question is answered and I just haven’t gotten there yet.
I also don’t give 2 hoots what Uncle Gary says but I am loving that the repeating “terrible” stories of Meghan are “she wore jeans and bare feet to a private dinner at her home” and “she bullied staff by expecting them to work.” Like get out of here with your BS. Harry found an absolute diamond of a woman and yall are all jealous, don’t even play.

What a hypocrite uncle Gary is. The dm or some posters raise him to sainthood. The man abused his wife and got arrested. And did uncle her see the confrontational way Kate acted towards Meghan and in front of cameras. Kate getting on with her job as Gary professes is hilarious since Kate does little work.

@elizabeth, that article about Gary is a gift. What an amazing idiot he is!
But the best part, especially in relation to his article today, is his account of his own first meeting with the future king of England:
“My first words to Prince William were, ‘Oi, you f****r! Did you break my glass pyramids? He and a pal had been throwing balls around and broke all these ornamental pyramids I had,’ he said.”
Really?

Uncle Gary Escobar, really? Was he pimping too? Both activities are usually carried out in synchronicity. The Goldsmiths / Middletons sending the family hoodlum to the defense of the pristine Wailses is a clear sign of desperation. Of all the dishonest people out there, Carole had to pick that one.
Because Meghan dressed down, she offended William’s alpha kingmanship. We got that part. Sobs and shivers. However, if Meghan had dressed up, it would have been a spur to Kate’s jealousy and misplaced competitiveness. Either way, the Duchess of Sussex was doomed to offend someone. The only way of avoiding being offensive would have been to simply not exist as Henry’s choice.

This level of detail screams Ma Midds to me with Gary just being officially credited. I bet Kate, Ma and Cam all have read Spare racing for the sections on themselves and complaining to their husbands about how they have been described. I would love to know what his nicknames for close relatives are? Stalker Fake for Kate and Cruella for Cam and Baldilocks for Willy?

Either Camilla or Ma Middleton ran to the papers with the story of Meghan making Kate cry. they had no problem sharing confidence involving a child. Meghan and now Harry has every right to correct the narrative. As for her first meeting with the terrible duo, Meghan was in her tiny home entertaining her future brother and sister-in-law, not the FFK and FFQ. If she and Harry had been invited over for dinner at Kensington Palace, I would expect that Meghan would have dressed up. And Harry didn’t tell Meghan to curtsey to William because he didn’t think it was necessary. I’m sure if Meghan had known, she would have curtseyed.
tale BS.
