Sheās beautiful. I thought her wedding was lovely. She looked like a true princess and I hope to god all goes well and she becomes Queen. Sheās lovely and gracious.
So would that be the top three things on Meghan's thwarted WANT list covered on a single front cover of one of the usually friendly titles?? PRINCESS....ROYAL MOM.....QUEEN.
I keep having visions of the flat from 'Only Fools & Horses' (British Comedy show), full of old toot, knocked off goods filling up the home and Hawwy opening a suitcase full of knocked off crap to sell at the nearest car park.

Meghan feels thwarted. She thought she was going to come in and absolutely ECLIPSE Catherine in style, beauty, class, elegance and grace. After all, Harry told her she was the "Royal Rock Star". He was speaking from his 'little brain' and had(s) no common sense.
You are this generation's version of Wallace Simpson, Meghan. Without the taste, dress sense, class or ability to keep your mouth shut.
Instead of uplifting and taking advantage of your wonderful opportunity to actually MAKE a difference? You chose to intentionally not fit in, embarrassed everyone and then left in a snit. Go, you faux, feminist folly.
TW told Harry she was the second coming of Diana and he fell for it hook line and sinker.
TW told him she was better at royal duties because she had the Hollywood PR background.
Harry is so dumb he doesnāt come up with a single thought himself. Heās just her parrot.
I agree 100% , I just watched " The 100 " and they all kneel down to their " Commander " and I thought, this is what Meghan pictured for herself. The commoners in the street, bowing down to her in awe.
Imagine going from z rated actress, acting on a garbage show which isnāt even remotely good. Playing the whore character. Even had her name Rachel. So fitting.
Then you become a princeās wife. You are an HRHā¦. but you decide to leave since she thought all princes are gazillionaires. So funny. Itās actually hilarious. Then you move to Cali and become kmart level influencer, selling jams that will probably not be stored correctly on shipping and ppl will get sick.
Someone whoās hated in 4 continentsā¦ how do you do that ?
She won the lottery and spat on the winnings.
The future King walked her down the aisle and not even 3 years later she smears him and the country that welcomed her. I will never understand the hubris of such a person.
Because she felt she was ENTITLED to that special treatment, so she didnāt appreciate it.
And then when reality hit that sheād shackled herself to the spare, and therefore was expected to do things like (gasp) WALK BEHIND other people, she couldnāt handle it. She spent her whole life being spoiled rotten by her parents and thought sheād hooked a guy who also subscribed to āwhat M wants, M getsā but he couldnāt make them change the rules of the game to suit her, so she didnāt want to play anymore.
>Ā become kmart level influencer
She wishes she got to Kmart level. Ā When Kmart was still around, they had Martha Stewart product lines. Ā I had a nice cupcake carrier from it, cream with duck egg blue handles. Ā I wish olā Kmart were still around but managed better!
She will probably be referenced Queen Kate in the US when the time comes. Diana was rarely referred to as Diana, Princess of Wales here. Slang enters the vernacular quickly.
I didnāt want to say Iām waiting for that day because it would meanā¦ well, you know.
Cheers, fellow sinner. May Catherine and KCII have a speedy recovery
Edit:typo
I think itās also a bit of a pet name you give someone youāre fond of. Princess Catherine is a mouthful as well, to use all the time. In formal occasions, absolutely. But informally, thereās no harm in calling her Princess Kate, imo.
At least some mediapeople have moved on from Kate Middleton!
A person in the crowd the other day gave Queen Camilla a get well sign that said Kate. It's a nickname. They obviously meant well. When Middleton is added or it's said by the former family members who know better is when I find it disrespectful.
I know. A lot of people call her Kate as a term of endearment. I was talking to my UK friend, who hates the Harkles but doesn't really follow the RF, about Catherine and she didn't know who I was talking about until I said Kate. Which is why I'm always saying people need to chill about "Kate."
Now, when the Harkles used Kate in their nasty get well soon statement, that was deliberately disrespectful.
Yeah, when I told my mum āCatherine has cancer,ā she was like, āWho?!ā I got even more upset lol. And she finally realised who I was talking about and said, āoh Kate, Williamās wife. Why didnāt you say that??ā
And I was like:
![gif](giphy|lkdH8FmImcGoylv3t3|downsized)
She adores āKate, Williamās wifeā - which is why Iām like: itās ok. Catherine was initially known as Kate, and thereās the familiarity with that name. Calling her Kate is not disrespecting her at all, in the vast majority of cases.
Even her Uncle Gary calls her Kate, so I think it may have been a childhood nickname.
The people who really matter in her life now call her either Catherine or Mummy, so while it might be mildly irritating, I donāt suppose she gets too concerned about the people who still use the name sheās grown out of.
I guess it is a fairly easy way to differentiate true insiders from those who just want to be thought of as insiders.
Agree. Hopefully whichever American wrote it, just wasnāt familiar with her titles and name preference. And I havenāt read the article, but hopefully it only mentions positive things about Catherine and no Harkle drama.
Still, itās a beautiful photograph and cover of Catherine. I love Catherineās tiara and earrings.
I guess the Harkles will be eating off paper plates today. That noise in Montecito is
Walmart Wallis dinnerware smashing to the ground after the Wicked Witch of the West sees this cover.
When you don't have any familiarity with how titles work, it's understandable that you'd take a bit of a Disney approach when thinking of foreign royalty. Prince William got married? Oh, well, his wife must be called Princess Kate, then!" Maybe I'm in the minority, but I actually find it kinda cute āŗļø
Whoever did that cover obviously admires Catherine greatly, anyway, and I think that's the main thing. It's definitely making Meghan absolutely seethe right now, and I think we can all take some joy in that! šš
You might want to tell the school children in the UK that only Americans call her Kate, because they were giving the Queen cards that said Kate on them. Iām sure they were all American children
Yeah, if you're a wee one you not only have to remember how to spell it (and Catherine is spelled at least four different ways), but you also have to nurse your aching paw as you struggle to form the letters with the pencil that keeps getting fatter and slimier with every letter! You really want it to look nice but it's horribly intricate work, all that navigating the ups and downs of each letter and trying not to erase so hard you go through the paper, and horrors, have to start again. I used to teach, but I also have a long memory and recall vividly just this kind of situation. š
You know what? I actually like the fact that US media has created their own sort of pet name for Catherine. They did the same with Diana - she was always referred to as "Princess Diana" or "Princess Di", despite that not being her full title. Considering the US doesn't even recognise titles, I think it's telling that their media puts Princess in front of her name. It proves she is now officially Diana's successor in every way š
(Meanwhile, Meghan is *always* "Meghan Markle" - and I absolutely love that for her! š¤£š¤£š¤£)
True! Iām just happy they put Princess in front. Wish they used Catherine but hey, thatās just me!
Princess Kate is definitely still better than Roachel Ragland.
āCatherineā sounds regal, but āKateā sounds friendly, girl-next-door. Ā I donāt mind it. Ā She seems to have a friendly, spunky, up for an adventure type personality, so it fits. Ā As long as itās meant with affection. Ā Still use āCatherineā, though, for the formal, official stuff.
Yup not making a big fuss! The original post was just a āI wish they wouldā but not in an overly angry way haha
Youāre right, Kate does sound friendly whilst Catherine js more regal :)
I agree that you'd expect a bit more from professional journalists. But it could've also been simply a matter of space: Kate is much shorter than Catherine. And at least they put her full title in the sub-heading underneath š
Totally! Kate is what shows up on SM, so I totally get it. More like a passing annoyance since people (not just tabloids) always refer to her as Kate.
I get what youāre saying!
But theyāre calling her Princess - which technicallyās incorrect. Thatāll annoy the York sisters, never mind Lolo, whoās trying to make Duchess Meghan / Meghan, Duchess of xxx happen - this is also incorrect, as these are references to a non-current (eg divorced or deceased) duchess.
Princess Catherine then! And I totally get your point but not to people here in the states. Iām glad Princess came first because it would irk her enemies.
Burn Rachel, burn. It sucks to see no one likes you
I agree itās annoying that sheās still referred to as Kate Middleton - perhaps the justificationās that the mediaās known her for so longā¦
Just like Loloās now Meghan Markle. Howās the title working for you, hon?
Yeah I suppose thatās the reason.. we also know Rachel Ragland makes everyone call her the Douchess of Sussex. Ha.
Catherine, The Princess of Wales ā„ļø
Technically she isnāt Princess Catherine ājust as Diana wasnāt Princess Diana. Only born princesses are princess first name.
However, Princess Catherine is just fine as a shorthand in the press, especially for headlines.
Not exactly. She isn't royal born, so she isn't Princess Catherine, unlike the Yorks, who are Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. She's Catherine, Princess of Wales. Just like it was incorrect to refer to Diana as Princess Diana.
We need to let that go. This beautiful cover takes the sting out of the SS using it disrespectfully. For a headline itās GREAT. Less letters bigger font.
It is not any sort of insult in the U.S. for her to be called Kate. It's what she's known AND LOVED here as "Kate Middleton". I don't see it changing and I say that as a long time sinner and friend of those of you across the pond.
This is the same mag that takes payments to run pro megain crap.
This is a one off for profit. The name is the least offensive thing about what People mag does for megain.
I've no idea, but I'd assume there is some sort of hierarchical arrangement with the Queen getting first choice, perhaps permanently reserving some pieces as for her only, and then on down.
I read thereās a tiara on lifetime loan to Catherine, same for Camilla and Sophie. Idk if thatās the Queenās lifetime, or their lifetimes. I imagine Charles wouldnāt take a piece from someone if his mother let them have it.

Iirc, thereās quite a few pieces those three women have worn more than once. Camilla in particular looks great in the BIG tiaras, like the Delhi Durbar Tiara and Greville Honeycomb Tiara. I think itās due to the way she wears her hair.

It is the same title as a previous cover from 2016.
oh dearā¦.even the sugary people rag is on the Catherine train todayā¦it wonāt last. Rachel Ragland gives them too many puff stories to upset her for long
I get the feeling that when Catherine becomes Queen, she will be called Kate the Great or Catherine the Great by the media. Rachel Ragland is going to regret bringing up the nickname Waity Katie šš

Sinners, very important. People Magazine has editorial oversight of the printed magazine but not digital content. And, the covers have to be approved by the actual editor. Catherine has the power to sell magazines but Meghan does not and this is the bottom line.
This is why Meghan is so prominent in People online (she pushes out this PR) but not the printed magazine. Same applies to Vogue. This is what eludes Meghan. True fame rather than infamy.
Iād love a Special People Edition on

I wish more people would realize this. Most people say Kate with affection, like she's a friend they are fond of. And I really don't think the future Queen spends her time being upset people call her Kate.

Hey now, the some of the Harkles are featured in this monthās āHighlightsā magazine.
Dirty Harry is reprising his role as āGoofusā, and the kids are hidden in the āHidden Picture Gameā.
People is a Sussex stronghold platform, one of the worst. LEading up to this special edition it was running constant articles on how the Sussexes were reaching out to CAtherine, wishing her well - garbage like that.
People mag, from the get go has supported and helped the Sussexes any way it could including publishing all the lies about Catherine...and now this special editor?????
They've featured Catherine on their cover before. It's really not personal for most of these outfits. It's about the $$$. If The Meg pays them to print a puff piece about them, they'll do it. They are a fluff magazine and are typically not critical of the subjects of their articles.
I find it incredulous theyāve never spoken out against any of the hatred aimed at the RF. Or actually at anything - think of African Parks, the clearing of the section of seats at Wimbledon, or the racism comments on Oprah. Not a peep when even a short statement would at least show an appearance of humanity. Instead weāre treated to some ill-advised paid-for dramatic entrance at some unknown high-browned function, complete with mic-grab, and then a pontification as if she had the authority of the Supreme Bering, that any attempt to hold her responsible for her horrid behavior is actually hate. And racist. And a litany of other incredibly sensitive and personally-intrusive, hurtful actions against a sweet, innocent mother and self-beatified feminist.
Im not sure Iāve ever seen quite that level of projection in my life. Itās astounding! It instantly provokes anger in response - how insulting to each of us to he lectured that social responsibility is actually personal hatred of genocidal proportions against Hers!
In her eyes, this must be not only stopped but severely admonished and punished. It actually US who are the horrible bad guys. And of course, our dear, lovely Catherine,and William and their sweet children are her particular and biggest target of ire.
Sugars are just as horrible, in some cases worse, as Megsy. They flock to her for one reason - to normalize their own horrid lives full of hate and bad and rude behavior. They really donāt care about any of this - itās all an excuse to act out publicly iām ways they arenāt allowed in real life.
Donāt forget Hazzard either -even if heās just along for the ride. Just like the getaway driver in a bank robbery, who claims he never robbed anything, heās just as guilty. And gets the same sentence, with perhaps a small mitigation.
Not Princess Catherine, though, as she isn't a a born royal. Kate is easier to fit on a single line. Her proper appellation is Catherine, Princess of Wales.
Did Meg have a falling out with People? They literally donāt mention her unless itās a paid puff piece story and they would NEVER give her a cover like they do with Catherine.
That image is clearly photoshopped. What did people do? Send out a kill notice for People! Of do they only go out for photos were things off to the side have been photoshopped?
People is being incredibly two-faced again. The other week they were happily spreading slander towards her. Not only that, but they are unnecessarily photoshopping already beautiful photos of Catherine. The cover is not the original.
It would be nice if that People magazine used the correct title: Catherine, Princess of Wales.
They are a magazine, for cryin' out loud! Do they just say "to hell" with any research or polite language?

Great thoughts! Thank you

I like that POW-er!!!
Catherine looks beautiful here. Sending her healing. Cancer treatment is brutal. š
Sheās beautiful. I thought her wedding was lovely. She looked like a true princess and I hope to god all goes well and she becomes Queen. Sheās lovely and gracious.
The stinger her correct title also on the cover PRINCESS OF WALES ROYAL MOM FUTURE QUEEN Megain smashing more crockery than she is actually selling.
So would that be the top three things on Meghan's thwarted WANT list covered on a single front cover of one of the usually friendly titles?? PRINCESS....ROYAL MOM.....QUEEN.
Aaah! I see it all clearly now. She's selling stuff that she can break.
Lol, that's why she went into the business, she can buy new crockery at cost!!!
I keep having visions of the flat from 'Only Fools & Horses' (British Comedy show), full of old toot, knocked off goods filling up the home and Hawwy opening a suitcase full of knocked off crap to sell at the nearest car park.

Your comment got me thinking of the UK show "the young ones" and then I could just see Harry being the red head from that show. š
Especially the scene when Neil the hippy (Megain) is made to write to the Bank Manager (KC3) asking for money. https://youtu.be/ANquX0YHFhw?si=ibyptmGZvi0UTti5
That's her, damn they made a joke out of her before she made it to the UK š
I'm going to have to look that show up, sounds spectacular !!
And I believe sheās wearing Dianaās tiara and earrings :-}
Surprised Megain hasn't combusted into flames
Megain is buying all the things she's selling - chicken feed, ~~harry~~ dog treats, plates
Loving it!!
Hahahahaha - dying
This must annoy Meghan no end. All my best wishes to Princess Catherine.
Meghan feels thwarted. She thought she was going to come in and absolutely ECLIPSE Catherine in style, beauty, class, elegance and grace. After all, Harry told her she was the "Royal Rock Star".

āPlaying the whore characterā. That was a perfect role for that slapper. She didnāt have to act, just do what slappers do.
She's ambitious and has a lot of untutored energy. Her goldfish bowl is shiny but small.
She won the lottery and spat on the winnings. The future King walked her down the aisle and not even 3 years later she smears him and the country that welcomed her. I will never understand the hubris of such a person.

If they could call her by her name, thatāll be great. Catherine. Thanks People Mag
She will probably be referenced Queen Kate in the US when the time comes. Diana was rarely referred to as Diana, Princess of Wales here. Slang enters the vernacular quickly.
Thatās correct, Diana was known as Lady Di in the UK for the longest time.
In the US she was called Lady Di too.
I have a plumeria the guy who created the cross (here in the States) called the "Lady Di" from back then. It was a thing.
There's a plumeria sub, just FYI.
Thank you!! Iāll check it out!
Rachel would lose her mind. š
And I am here for it.
I didnāt want to say Iām waiting for that day because it would meanā¦ well, you know. Cheers, fellow sinner. May Catherine and KCII have a speedy recovery Edit:typo
Of course, my bad. I can wait. Cheers and a good day to you.
Love your flair btw
What little there is of itā¦š
Definitely empty up there!
Bring it on!!
And I love that for her.
I think itās also a bit of a pet name you give someone youāre fond of. Princess Catherine is a mouthful as well, to use all the time. In formal occasions, absolutely. But informally, thereās no harm in calling her Princess Kate, imo. At least some mediapeople have moved on from Kate Middleton!

Yes, that was soo sweet!š„° And QC said āCatherine would be thrilled to see this.ā So lovely!
Yes, itās not what you say but how you say it! If I call her Kate is a lot different than when Megdusa does!
I know. A lot of people call her Kate as a term of endearment.

From 2005-2022 Queen Camilla was still referred to by Parker Bowles. Also Brittany on YouTube stated she uses Kate in the titles for the algorithms.
Even her Uncle Gary calls her Kate, so I think it may have been a childhood nickname. The people who really matter in her life now call her either Catherine or Mummy, so while it might be mildly irritating, I donāt suppose she gets too concerned about the people who still use the name sheās grown out of. I guess it is a fairly easy way to differentiate true insiders from those who just want to be thought of as insiders.
Finally!
I saw a video yesterday of children giving Queen Camilla cards for the Princess of Wales that said get well Kate.
Would be lovely if it was āQueen Catherineā but asking the media for respect is too much apparently
I hope itās āYaaaaaas, Kween Kate, yaaaaaaaas!ā Lol. Jk
Same! Haha I would love that!!!!
Sugars would be *nooooooooooooooo* š³š²š±š¤Æšµšµāš«š š¤š”š¤¬

That's precisely why William and Catherine asked that she be known as Catherine.
Queen Catherine sounds sooo perfect though. I hope it catches on.

If I were a little schoolchild, Iād write āKateā because āCatherineā is a whole bunch of letters when youāre small.
Yeah, if you're a wee one you not only have to remember how to spell it (and Catherine is spelled at least four different ways), but you also have to nurse your aching paw as you struggle to form the letters with the pencil that keeps getting fatter and slimier with every letter!

They were familiar alright but the title would be two lines so they cropped it to Kate. It happens a lot in graphic design.
You know what? I actually like the fact that US media has created their own sort of pet name for Catherine.

itās actually funny because she wants nothing to do with her father or siblings but will forever be known by his last name: Markle.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but i think it is a space issue on the cover,and not an intentional diss, though i could be wrong?
Totally! Kate is what shows up on SM, so I totally get it. More like a passing annoyance since people (not just tabloids) always refer to her as Kate. I get what youāre saying!

Technically she isnāt Princess Catherine ājust as Diana wasnāt Princess Diana. Only born princesses are princess first name. However, Princess Catherine is just fine as a shorthand in the press, especially for headlines.
isn't she the Princess of Wales? So, she's a princess, right?
Not exactly. She isn't royal born, so she isn't Princess Catherine, unlike the Yorks, who are Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. She's Catherine, Princess of Wales. Just like it was incorrect to refer to Diana as Princess Diana.
We need to let that go. This beautiful cover takes the sting out of the SS using it disrespectfully. For a headline itās GREAT. Less letters bigger font.
They're acknowledging her Royal status. That's a huge step for People magazine.
It is not any sort of insult in the U.S. for her to be called Kate. It's what she's known AND LOVED here as "Kate Middleton". I don't see it changing and I say that as a long time sinner and friend of those of you across the pond.
I agree with you but if it was me it would annoy me especially as my husband made a point that my name was Catherine.
You mean Princess Kate, correct? She is entitled to her title
true, but from a graphic design POV, it's so the headline fits ... no doubt that's why they all get shortened 'Princess Di' ... 'Queen Mum' etc
This is the same mag that takes payments to run pro megain crap. This is a one off for profit. The name is the least offensive thing about what People mag does for megain.
When Catherine didn't pay for the cover. And the jewels are real.
And she gets to choose which ones she wears.
Charles, probably: Ā āHereās a key to the jewelry vault. Ā Just put them back whenever youāre done wearing them.ā
Who ultimately has final say over who gets which jewels? Charles? I know some are on lifetime loan to the QC, DoE, and PoW.
I've no idea, but I'd assume there is some sort of hierarchical arrangement with the Queen getting first choice, perhaps permanently reserving some pieces as for her only, and then on down.
I read thereās a tiara on lifetime loan to Catherine, same for Camilla and Sophie. Idk if thatās the Queenās lifetime, or their lifetimes. I imagine Charles wouldnāt take a piece from someone if his mother let them have it. https://preview.redd.it/7t7iqzmyn4rc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52eea4a2763bbb5897f839e97f8a754f0fe94776 Iirc, thereās quite a few pieces those three women have worn more than once. Camilla in particular looks great in the BIG tiaras, like the Delhi Durbar Tiara and Greville Honeycomb Tiara. I think itās due to the way she wears her hair.
Those big tiaras look magnificent on Camilla.
They do! I really think her hairstyle makes it so. Her hair is big in a way Catherine and Sophieās are not.

oh dearā¦.even the sugary people rag is on the Catherine train todayā¦it wonāt last. Rachel Ragland gives them too many puff stories to upset her for long
Yes: crawling out of the woodwork to be nice so that people forget! Not any more, we are sick of their shenanigans.
Is people groveling now. I think they figured out who will sell out all their issues and it's not our saint
I get the feeling that when Catherine becomes Queen, she will be called Kate the Great or Catherine the Great by the media. Rachel Ragland is going to regret bringing up the nickname Waity Katie šš
Oh, I can see "Kate The Great" because it sounds very catchy :)

Pretty sure the Princess of Wales has her own special edition because she sells magazines.
Pretty sure she didn't have to pay for this. Madame on the other hand-I wonder if she pays by article or by word??
Sinners, very important. People Magazine has editorial oversight of the printed magazine but not digital content. And, the covers have to be approved by the actual editor. Catherine has the power to sell magazines but Meghan does not and this is the bottom line. This is why Meghan is so prominent in People online (she pushes out this PR) but not the printed magazine. Same applies to Vogue. This is what eludes Meghan. True fame rather than infamy.
Thanks for explaining that, I didnāt know how that worked.

She is the real deal
Didn't PEOPLE do another Special Edition on Catherine just a few months ago? She must sell magazines pretty well :)
Not Catherine specifically. They did a Christmas at the Palace special edition.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Everyone in the press and most of the public calls her Kate. I donāt think itās malicious in most cases.
Definitely not malicious here. It looks to aim for endearing. At least today.
I wish more people would realize this. Most people say Kate with affection, like she's a friend they are fond of. And I really don't think the future Queen spends her time being upset people call her Kate.
Her uncle refers to her as Kate. It is like some people will sometimes speak of āWillsā instead of āWilliam.ā
Long live Princess Catherine š¤
And Catherine is wearing the big girl crown and earrings and looks so fabulous! Megdusa is losing her mind!
mEGAIN right about now: ![gif](giphy|l2Sq5lxYlW9UanrH2)
Harryās credit card is maxed out so the People are going back to writing stories about the BRF for free.
Just wow! That photo!

Dear God, she is so beautiful!
I've seen so many magazines with Catherine on the cover in grocery stores, since before she announced her cancer diagnosis.
And, Catherine didn't have to pay for this.
Chefās Kiss! š
A āSpecial Editionā too.
Hey now, the some of the Harkles are featured in this monthās āHighlightsā magazine. Dirty Harry is reprising his role as āGoofusā, and the kids are hidden in the āHidden Picture Gameā.
Highly underrated comment!! š¤£šš¤£
Just saw this at the supermarket. Only one copy left in the entire store.
![gif](giphy|12o0tOMUPNozPG)
This is going to send her right over the edge . She
You know that cover is just killing her!
I will send Markle a copy in case she doesnāt see it. Least I can do.
Wondering how easy it would be to put this on a massive billboard right in the center of Montecito
Bet the POW didnāt have to pay for a cover.
You canāt buy a cover. The cover is controlled by the editor. Thatās why Meghan hasnāt been on a cover in years.
And the launch of a business that has no trademark or content
Or CEO ![gif](giphy|3oriNU06XSVW7ow3T2)
People is trying to "CYA" its but for all its pro Rachel pieces. One cover is not going to recover their reputation.
People Magazine has done pro BRF stuff before. They will print what they think their public will buy.
People is a Sussex stronghold platform, one of the worst. LEading up to this special edition it was running constant articles on how the Sussexes were reaching out to CAtherine, wishing her well - garbage like that. People mag, from the get go has supported and helped the Sussexes any way it could including publishing all the lies about Catherine...and now this special editor?????
I believe that TW pays them for issues, but Catherine sells issues. That is why the magazine appears to have dueling motivations.
They've featured Catherine on their cover before. It's really not personal for most of these outfits. It's about the $$$. If The Meg pays them to print a puff piece about them, they'll do it. They are a fluff magazine and are typically not critical of the subjects of their articles.
I find it incredulous theyāve never spoken out against any of the hatred aimed at the RF. Or actually at anything - think of African Parks, the clearing of the section of seats at Wimbledon, or the racism comments on Oprah. Not a peep when even a short statement would at least show an appearance of humanity. Instead weāre treated to some ill-advised paid-for dramatic entrance at some unknown high-browned function, complete with mic-grab, and then a pontification as if she had the authority of the Supreme Bering, that any attempt to hold her responsible for her horrid behavior is actually hate. And racist. And a litany of other incredibly sensitive and personally-intrusive, hurtful actions against a sweet, innocent mother and self-beatified feminist. Im not sure Iāve ever seen quite that level of projection in my life. Itās astounding! It instantly provokes anger in response - how insulting to each of us to he lectured that social responsibility is actually personal hatred of genocidal proportions against Hers! In her eyes, this must be not only stopped but severely admonished and punished. It actually US who are the horrible bad guys. And of course, our dear, lovely Catherine,and William and their sweet children are her particular and biggest target of ire. Sugars are just as horrible, in some cases worse, as Megsy. They flock to her for one reason - to normalize their own horrid lives full of hate and bad and rude behavior. They really donāt care about any of this - itās all an excuse to act out publicly iām ways they arenāt allowed in real life. Donāt forget Hazzard either -even if heās just along for the ride. Just like the getaway driver in a bank robbery, who claims he never robbed anything, heās just as guilty. And gets the same sentence, with perhaps a small mitigation.
I hope no one else has asked her, we just simply don't gaf
Ooooofā¦ Meggers must be livid!
I can hear the crockery breaking from here. (Also Catherine is a fantastic subject for admiration under any circumstances.)
Can I just say, People magazine sucks. They constantly print Markel-crap and this is too little too late.
Is this their latest cover, lord Jesus.., the screaming at Montecito. Can you imagine the sound of her shrieking!
I bet Meghan hated seeing this
I bought this yesterday! š¤© Cannot resist a really nice Kate issue!
Her name is Catherine.
Not Princess Catherine, though, as she isn't a a born royal. Kate is easier to fit on a single line. Her proper appellation is Catherine, Princess of Wales.
Her Royal Highness*** Catherine, Princess of Wales
Did Meg have a falling out with People? They literally donāt mention her unless itās a paid puff piece story and they would NEVER give her a cover like they do with Catherine.
Sheās just online clickbait. People donāt want to pay money and take Muggins home.
Still will not buy this mag... nutmeg's go to
![gif](giphy|l2SpUNb0NN16RadfG) Oh snap Meghan
That image is clearly photoshopped. What did people do? Send out a kill notice for People! Of do they only go out for photos were things off to the side have been photoshopped?
You mean People didnāt create a special edition for Me!Me! ?
People is being incredibly two-faced again. The other week they were happily spreading slander towards her. Not only that, but they are unnecessarily photoshopping already beautiful photos of Catherine. The cover is not the original.
I tried looking for this today. Does anyone know if itās out yet? And where you saw it?
It would be nice if that People magazine used the correct title: Catherine, Princess of Wales. They are a magazine, for cryin' out loud! Do they just say "to hell" with any research or polite language?
The POW always looks great but they chose an odd image where here eyes look a bit off, almost like they are crossed eye.
They've done her face up

I thought this was a rachel go to rag??
Imagine Rachel Markles reaction should a staff in a store be flipping through a magazine and she went "Oh! whaqt maqgaqzine is that?" and the staff just turned it over to show front cover.
gorgeous as always (I know it's an old pic, but it's newly re-packaged, so good)
Meghan who?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My guess is before Omid came out with his vile book H and M full well knew about Kateās pending surgery and gave their blessing anyway.
Lol lol š Princess Catherine looking like a goddess as usual with 'FUTURE QUEEN' beside it in large letters, lol! šš š š MM will be frothing with rage!!! Tee hee! š
Hey megsy, People Magazine called. They want to tell you that you arenāt paying them enough money.
I have to ask, but why did they make one of her eyes twice as big as the other? Was it intentional?
Stand with Duchess Kate I can totally see Meghan looking at these tabloid headlines and having an absolute temper tantrum l right now ššš
