Meghan's Cringe 8th Anniversary Meltdown: Fake BA Cards, Penguin Shade & Finnish Selfie Cover-UpAdded:
Hey guys, welcome back to RHR Jen. I'm so glad you're here. Guys, I have such a good show for you today. We are taking a look at all the weirdness going on with Megan right now. As we know, it's their anniversary. She wanted us to know it was their anniversary. She has beat it into our heads that it's their anniversary, but there's so much more to this one. This post in particular, there's a lot to it, and I can't wait to dive in. You got some Diana stuff going on. you have a lot of look at me uh going on and so much more. So, we're gonna dive in and take a look. If you're new here, I'm Jen. Make sure you're subscribed, hit the thumbs up, and leave me comments as all of those helps YouTube to recommend my videos, and I sincerely appreciate it, and I appreciate all of you. Thank you to everybody. I just hit the mic who hits the hype button. I really appreciate that. All right, let's dive in and take a look starting with this video. So, I can't play it with any sound, but here you go.
Lots going on. And don't worry, I will freeze frame it and break it all down for you. I just wanted to wanted to show you the video so that way you'd know what we were talking about.
So, here it is. Lots of Look at me. I think there's lots of little things thrown in here that we will slow down and break down because we have lots to discuss.
So, this was posted on her Instagram.
One of several anniversary tributes to herself.
What else is new, right?
Crazy. Oh my goodness. All right, let's dive in and talk about this. So, it's their 8th anniversary and normally, I mean, first of all, there is no normal with those two, but that's not even a milestone. I guess with those two, it's just like, well, we made it another day.
Woohoo. But let's take a look. So, we had this post initially. There were two posts here. Uh, one from the wedding and one pushing her candle. So, at first glance, I would say this has a lot to do with Oh my gosh. her like hurrying toward expiration dates and we got to move product. We saw behind the curtain that they're sitting on. It appeared like they're sitting on a lot of products. So they need to get those they she needs to get those moved ASAP. So I assume at first it was something to do with that. But then there's so much more to it. Let's take a look. So we have this. I want to talk about this first of all. So we have Harry here. She loves to show that Harry is fawning over her.
It's um Papa cake parade, right? So, he's carrying in this lit candle cake singing happy anniversary to mama while the kids are there.
I guess you hear their voices. And Megan adds in, of course, papa and parades this publicly. Okay. There's no way on this universe, on this planet, that she would let him pick the cake. I don't believe I don't think he'd be walking around the cake. I think this is all for the look of it, the cameras. It positions her as the adored center as per usual. Harry looks like the devoted one again. Remember, he just loves me so much. She loves to do that. Um it's reinforcing this um he chose me fairy tale that she likes to put out there.
There's lots of performative things always with them and it just seems like it's overly affusive and public setting. So, it feels staged for the Instagram rather than a sweet private moment. I'm rolling my eyes cuz sweet nod all that stuff.
Okay, so we have that. What else? Let's look at this. Okay, the penguins. The penguins. All right, so the 8th anniversary is a bronze anniversary. So, from what I could tell, I would guess that these are bronze. I'm sure Harry thought about penguins, but let's really talk about what I think is going on. So, Harry's gifting her these bronze penguin statues. Again, the focus being on her.
This is what he's gifted her. Okay, so she goes into she's showing that penguins, they dress up like penguins.
They mate for life. It's references to their engagement party. and she's showing this off prominently. Remember, I I married into royalty. Okay, but there's more to it, I believe. Let me show you what I think. Okay, so here it is. All right, great. Um, little hands.
But I want to give a shout out to Feisty Energy who is pointing this out. And I want to remind you all that for William and Catherine, when they got married, they were gifted this adoption of a baby humbult penguin. His name was Acorn. How cute is that? From Chester Zoo. It was a wedding present in 2011. And it's just something that everybody knew about. It was a really is a cute gesture and a cute way to bring awareness for the baby penguin. So, I can't help but think I can't help but think it's it's also to do with that.
It's always about oneupping William and Catherine. If she found out that there was a tie into them and penguins, it it would not shock me, as per usual, that she would have them dressing as penguins, call back to penguins, and um I don't think that Harry's coming up with this stuff on his own. I just don't. So, there's the throwback. Sweet nod. Okay. Um here's some here's some affection for you all again. Is he Yeah, I'm sure he's picking out this. And who's taking the picture? Is are we supposed to believe that it's one of the kids? Because I just I don't I don't believe that. All right, continuing on.
We have this. We have again, I saw this and and uh my friends and I were saying, "Is this pottery? What's going on there?" Uh and then I looked it up and sure enough, 8th anniversary is the pottery anniversary as well. So, I think it's my opinion that we're meant to believe that Archie and Lily, what I forget, what are they, five and three, something like that. They wrote this clearly and they made these for their parents. I'm sure they did. No way. No way. I'm sure they did. No. Um, but Megan wants us to know that they've done stuff again with her name first and um, you know, she's the center of the universe. So, there's that. I thought this was weird.
The one and only. Okay. Again, that's not her typical loopy swoopy BS handwriting. Are we supposed to believe it's his writing to her? She made sure to show that as well. Oh, and then there's this. And then there's this.
Let's talk about this. I have so much to talk about with this one. All right. So, we got a flash of this British Airways card. Okay. And there's definitely a lot of weirdness and her history around just flying in general, but so BA269.
Okay. She was meant to believe that this flight crew I guess gave her this signed anniversary card.
So with love the whole British Airways family. Okay.
I tal I have a couple of friends who are actually in in flight attendant and lead flight attendant and senior flight attendant stuff like that. So, so I reached out and I asked them. I was like, "Is this, you know, is this a thing you guys do?"
So, when I asked about it, they said that I mean, not really. You can find where there's some logos and there are specialty papers, but um an interesting thing that was told to me by a a purser, it was a purser at a major airline uh said that I'm just looking at my notes.
I want to get this right. She's a lead flight attendant. She was explaining that they are taught really not to interrupt the passengers and it would be weird. They wouldn't just know that it was Harry and Megan's anniversary and it would be weird if they were standing off in the corner googling stuff and they figured out it's almost their anniversary. Let's make a card for them.
Right? And I started thinking I was like, you know what, you're right. And so I talked to a friend of the channel, John Witherspoon, and he had an interesting theory as well, saying, "So could it be that because there is no logo or anything on this card, could it be that Megan brought an empty card and had them sign it?" I thought that theory was so funny. If it was anybody else in the world, I'd be like, "No, but it's Megan." And so I still don't know that Megan herself would do it, but she I wouldn't put it past her having an assistant or somebody or security do it for her, right? Um have everybody sign a card to herself and to Harry. That wouldn't shock me at all. There's several things to this that I think could play into that theory, and it's this. So, I just think again airlines from what I understand, they try to not interrupt or bother people. So, that's weird on its own. There's no logo there. That's weird. There's all these stories she has told throughout the years. She likes to really build herself up on airplanes, right? So, there's the story of the crew member that supposedly kneelled and took his hat off even though people pointed out it doesn't make sense. Whatever. I can't remember the airline now. Whatever airline she was referencing, they didn't wear hats.
Thanking her for her service to the country when leaving the UK. There's a photo of her in a cockpit wearing the jacket. Um, oh, she had the the handwritten notes back and forth with American Airlines crew. Remember it was the girlies? That stupid note thing.
It's just she tells stories of people like bowing or giving special deference whenever she flies. So it's a whole event in her mind. Of course she thinks she's you know the center of the universe and the most special but it is interesting how it manifests itself especially well all the time but a lot of times when flying. So I find this so odd. I think there's something to this and I think again this is a big distraction from the Geneva trip. Could it be that she's using the Google algorithm once again to try to shift things away from the selfie with that controversial Finnish guy to be, you know, so if you Google Megan and Geneva, maybe something like this might pop up.
So it I also think it reinforces, you know, we're still royals, we're powerful, people treat us special, you know, that kind of thing. even like showing how people might roll out the red carpet for her. It's just a way to kiss her own. You know what? Why share the card publicly unless you want to highlight the special treatment? Again, I don't personally believe I'm not saying she signed the card. I'm sure that the airline probably did, but what were the circumstances leading up to it? I find it weird. So, there's that. Let's see what else did I bring.
Oh. Uh, there's the notes. And then I want to point out this, too, because I was like, there's got to be something with Princess Diana. And sure enough, there you go. Princess Diana was famously beloved by flight crews of the Queen's Flight and Commercial Airlines she traveled with, known for bringing glamour and a sense of humor on board.
She was deeply respected by pilots and crew members. We love Diana. One of the most famous examples of her relationship with aviation staff was her frequent use of an oversized navy and white Fly Virgin Atlantic sweatshirt. There you go. Which she intentionally wore as a decoy to throw off paparazzi. So if you don't remember that, I do remember that she would wear a lot of times. I believe it was the a sweatshirt over and over.
So that way if paparazzi got another photo of her, it wouldn't be as valuable to them. She's very smart. because it looked like you couldn't tell what day it was taken. You couldn't tell details of it. So, I believe she would wear it over and over. So, that way it wouldn't wouldn't really benefit them to take a million pictures of the exact same outfit over and over, you know. So, good for her. Um, let's see here. Oh, let's talk about this. Okay, so this is another thing that's coming out. This is courtesy of Radar, but I'm seeing it places and I've forgotten about this where it says Megan Markle's wedding secrets unveiled on her 8th anniversary. Again, these stories coming out about the 8th anniversary.
And then remember, she supposedly, according to the two of them, if you believe it, was sobbing on the bathroom floor. Did she ever stand up to cry?
Because everything is the most dramatic.
Sobbing on the floor. Oh, remember she even did it in the Netflix special. She was sobbing on the floor in the closet.
She was But it's always like this, right? Like posing for the camera. You can't actually see the tears. She was sobbing.
I'll never forget that with a towel, remember? And she's making this face. In fact, let me timestamp this so I can drop this in here because that one is um one of my favorite pictures. But anyway, so she's like like trying to force tears out. It's really funny. Anyway, sobbing on the floor. So, she's sobbing on the bathroom floor ahead of her wedding because it's all just too hard. Well, shout out to Rachel the Curious Pilot, friend of the show. She's wonderful. She had the point. She's like, "Didn't Diana do that?" Well, sure enough. Yes, she did. Didn't realize that. Well done, Rachel. Diana apparently, again, the difference being Diana was 19 years old.
Diana didn't know. There wasn't Google around for Diana to pretend that she didn't, you know, Google her future husband the way that Megan did, of course. Um, but Diana was 19 years old and she was sobbing in the bathroom asking Princess Grace of Monaco for advice about marrying royalty. So, of course, of course, Megan had to do the Diana and say that she was sobbing in the bathroom before the wedding. I didn't even put that together. Well done, Rachel the Curious Pilot. All right. So, here's a picture of Diana and um Gra Princess Grace. I forgot how to refer to her. Princess Grace of Monaco.
So, there you go. Beautiful.
All right. And then we also got this. I have no words. I have no words either.
What is this face? What am I looking at?
So gross.
Oh god. You know, two people in love make this face. All right. I had more thoughts on this whole anniversary thing. Let me look through my notes here. Just they're flooding social media. I feel like it's very much a merchandise tiein with the candles, the As ever brand. It's a distraction from this finished selfie scandal. People are very much talking about that. Of course, the the the who um the child safety event, right? Again, we've talked about it, but where she posted her child and then went and talked about child safety online. Sure. took a picture with this controversial Finnish politician. I've had a lot of Finnish geese in the comments. Honk honk. Hello. Um, and you guys said he is not a good person and from my googling it seems to be the case. Google that guy. It's But, uh, she her team has been distancing her ever since. But, there are allegations and I will say it's just alleged, not proven, but alleged that she didn't just take a selfie with him. There are allegations going around that she had dinner with him as well, but uh I believe she's denying that. But a flood of loveydovey anniversary content right after. Looks like damage control if you asked me. All right. Um again, the hairy fawning all over her. I think kids' props once again right after this kids off social media thing. Sure, we didn't see their faces, but they're very much a part of this.
Their hands are in there. their voices in there. In there is the one and only card supposed to be from them. I'm assuming it's the mama and the papa of it all. Kids like the kids did this trope. It just, you know, I don't believe any of it ever. Um, the flight weirdness.
I think the neverbeforeseen wedding photos were supposed to make a splash and they really haven't. I think it's again narrative control and just a game of look at us. It's very much heavy on the us against the world vibes. Um it's staging a lot of just you know stuff off camera but still I would say we mostly saw well I guess we mostly saw H but we saw her and her being the center of it. I feel like it's just her being her, right? Very much Megan. I'm not taking Harry out of this. He's He sucks just as bad as she does. But I just I find this especially weird even for them. That's saying something. So, this is where I want you to chime in. Let me know your thoughts on all this. Oh, and I forgot to mention, let me go back. Excuse me. How could I forget this? Um, with the card that I don't believe happened, Hold on.
Where was it? Hold on. the card that I do not personally believe happened. Just my opinion. Hold on. I've got it right here. Um, I also had a message from Canankerous. What's that? Canankerous.
Canankerous says, "Thank you for filming." Oh, you're welcome, Cantanker.
Hold on. There you go. So, they thank her for flying. You know, he's thanking me for filming. That's very nice of you, Canankerous. Uh, if you want to wish us a happy filming day, then you're welcome to in the comments. Mama and Papa Goose.
It's just getting weirder. Anyway, uh yeah, I feel like this is just a big distraction, a way to sell her chach and um chachkis, not anything else. That sounded really dirty. Anyway, she's selling her chachch online. You can decide what that means. And um I don't believe any of it ever. So, that's my thoughts. Let me know yours in the comments below. Happyiversary.
All right, thank you guys so much for watching. As always, I sincerely appreciate you all. Let me know your thoughts. Let me know if there's a connection that I missed. I feel like there was just so much to break down with the stupidity of it all. I'm sure there's a Diana reference, a Catherine jab, or look at me that I missed. So, do let me know because I'm dying to know.
Um, have you ever gotten a card from your airline for your anniversary?
No, because it's weird.
Uh, but again, my um flight attendant friends, I was asking them and and they did say, you know, of course we would say, "Thank you for being a platinum member, whatever, but it's not typically typically you're, you know, working your rear off. you're not usually writing out cards, but and and if you do, they're special cards on special paper, not this. So, anyway, let me know your thoughts on all this. Thank you guys so much for being here. I really appreciate it. Thank you for all the ways you support my show. The hype button, the comments, all of it means the whole wide world to me. It really does. And um that's going to do it for me. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. As I mentioned, be sure to click my Amazon links. Thank you to everybody who's been doing that. and look for I mean as they continue to do crazy things, you know, I'm going to continue to talk about that. Um, yeah, that's going to do it for me. If you further want to support my show, check out my Patreon.
patreon.comrealhousewives recaps. It's my old name. Tons of new stuff, tons of bonus content. I appreciate you all so much. I really do.
And uh, thank you to everybody who is a an executive producer over there. All right. I hope you all had the best day and I'll talk to you again soon. Bye bye.
Hi. Sorry, I'm doing something. Hold on.
I've got something. Hold on. Hold on.
What's that? Canankerous. What' you say?
Yeah, I don't believe it either. Hold on. Canankerous. Let's turn you. Yeah, we don't believe it. We don't believe any of it. It's all BS. All BS. Can you imagine like in what universe who's telling people like even if you tell the flight attendant, "Yeah, it's our honeymoon, whatever." They're not.
Again, I understand they're outliers, but I doubt they're writing you a card.
And again, the the thing I want to emphasize is, you know, my friends that I talk to, typically they're told not to bother, especially celebrities or somebody like that. Like, they're not supposed to take pictures with them or disturb them. You're supposed to just, you know, do your job and be nice.
Not this. This is silly. Even for them.
This is silly. Let me know your thoughts. That's going to do it for me.
I hope you guys have the best day and I'll talk to you again soon. Take care.
Bye-bye.
Oh, if you stay tuned this long, I don't know. Let me know. Have you gotten a note from your airline? Um, what are your thoughts? Do you think it's more of a Diana comparison? Do you think it's to shut down the Geneva disaster? Do you think it's Megan's the center of the universe? Do you think it's all the above? All right, take care. Bye-bye.
So stupid. So stupid.
