I’m Sick

[Blind Gossip] There is a funny scene in Mean Girls in which Karen (played by actress Amanda Seyfried) claims illness in order to stay home.

She gives a little struggle cough and says, “I’m sick.”

That is close to what went down a week or so ago in the lives of this famous and feuding family.

The Mother In Law was supposed to attend an event for the first time with her Daughter in Law.

Right before the event, MIL said, “I’m sick.”

She must have been seriously ill, right?

[MIL] had a mild cold, but the woman has the constitution of a horse and it was nothing that would have ordinarily kept her from attending a scheduled event. Did you know that [MIL] was actually very sick the day of her own wedding? Yet she muddled through with nary a complaint.

Guess DIL isn’t the only actress in the family!

So why did MIL really stay home?

[MIL] has worked incredibly hard over many years to fortify her own position within the family. She was very gracious and welcoming with [DIL] in the beginning. However, she – and other family members – now find it distressing that DIL seems to be more interested in destroying the family than in joining it.

It would not behoove [MIL] to do photo ops with [DIL] unless part of an event with many family members. Perhaps that will change in the future, but for now it seems prudent for her to keep a bit of distance.

While initial reports were that MIL would be down for a week or more with such a serious illness, she made a miraculous comeback!

Only a couple of days later, MIL attended an event at which she was surrounded by multiple family members… and did not have to do an individual photo op with Daughter in Law.

    What a disaster Harry’s marriage to Meghan has turned out to be. She has alienated him from his entire family – the latest news is that they will probably not spend Christmas a Sandringham with the Queen, a BRF tradition for years and years. This comes after they blew off HM’s invitation to visit her at Balmoral this past summer.

  2. GoldenBubble says

    I find it fascinating that Harry intentionally married a woman that would be disliked by The Firm the way his mother was.

  4. gumbii2662 says

    I had to log in just to share that I literally laugh-snorted at the “constitution of a horse” clue about Camilla.

    Ugh the whole royals situation is a weird mess.

  7. mina303 says

    Camilla and Meghan.
    Can’t blame Camilla, after all the resentment she has gone through and still does.
    Unbelievably it seems though that it is Diana’s son, Harry, his choice in a wife that is making Camilla seem much more palatable.
    Strange how the world works.

  8. Squirrelnutkin says

    Camilla and Meghan.

    Very smart move by Camilla. She’s a smart woman. Meghan, not so much. If I were Meghan, I would be much more worried about playing games with the RF. But Meghan, believing she’s smarter than than them, is doing as she wishes. It is all very entertaining!

    • blancheED88 says

      EDIT: Yes because I think people are still sometimes mad at her about ‘wrecking’ the marriage between Charles and Diana

  10. charlene2345 says

    Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall for MIL, Meghan Markle for DIL.

    I’m really tired of hearing anything about Markle, and I wish she’d ride off into the sunset already instead of doing things like moaning and groaning in a documentary. It doesn’t seem like anything is ever enough for that woman. I don’t care much for Camilla, but she’s probably just as tired of Markle as everyone else by now.

  12. zappy2050 says

    Meghan Markle and Camilla Parker Bowles. They all welcomed her into the family – at first. She just refuses to fit in. I am not sure why. The only thing I am thinking is that she wants to be thought of as another Diana – but that would be stupid because they got rid of Diana when the time came. Not smart.

  15. Fairy princess says

    Obviously Camilla and Meghan. Thought Camilla would make an appearance at the Albert hall and sure enough, she did!
    Very smart move.

  16. yashenny says

    Meghan Markle
    Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

    Optional: I’m not sure how to feel about this. I have read so many things about how Meghan is difficult but it seems like the family is being just as difficult too.

  19. aaronxp says

    Camilla of course… it’s clear they’re avoiding her… and they should, not giving Pinky and the Brain more amunition for her future tell-alls…

    Sorry for Camilla and Charles they are so unpopular that wont know what to do them…

  31. blubelle says

    (Step) MIL: Camilla
    DIL: Meghan Markle
    A very smart move! Everyone should distance themselves from that fame *.

  32. AmateurGossipHour says

    Duchess of Cornwall
    Duchess of Sussex
    Not a fan of either woman but perhaps Camilla should remember when she was tabloid fodder and give Meghan a bit of a break.

  33. mockney_rebel says

    Meghan and the Duchess of Cornwall.

    From a British point of view, I just do not understand why Meghan married in to the Royal Family, conforming before the wedding and now trying to bring it down from the inside. It has cost the relationship between William & Harry. Is she really such an egoist? All very strange!

  34. loopylou600 says

    Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla
    Meghan Markle

    Smart move all round by Camilla, though Meghan will never change, we’ve seen her true colours and long ago.

  35. Olivia Sarah says

    MIL: Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall (although technically she is really the stepmother in-law).

    DIL: Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

  37. anarchistlibrarian says

    oh dear! this must be her majesty, THE QUEEN and the duchess of sussex? her majesty has always placed her role above petty things such as colds…

    i don’t hate on the duchess of sussex as many here do, but the queen has SERVED for decades and, i think, looks askance at anyone who dares enter the royal circle without possessing a willingness to serve… 🤷🏻‍♀️

  39. 8outof11 says

    Camille, MIL; Duchess Sussex, DIL.
    Her choice. Playing it safe. She should know what it feels like to be on the outside and despised.
    There is hope for Duchess Sussex as you Brits fawn over and forgive a home wrecker. But no poor Meghan is so much worse.

  44. ProfessorPep11 says

    Camilla Parker-Bowles

    Meghan Markle

    I can’t stand Camilla, but yes, this is a smart move.

  48. Jthenurse says

    MIL: Queen Elizabeth II
    DIL: yup, Meghan Markle, the insufferable Duchess of Sussex (again)
    Smart move? By all means, yes. Distance yourself from that nonstop, slow rolling disaster known as the Sussexes. It’s all over that Harry has been dropping hints about another baby….it’s probably a fait accomplit.

  53. KCeagle says

    Queen Elizabeth
    Meghan Markle

    I wouldn’t go so far as to the call the old gal a whore, but there’s some attention whores in that extended family… drama queens too.
    But she’s her Majesty… what’re gonna do?

  54. GayleStorm says

    Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
    Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex

    Smart move by MIL. MM is poison!

  55. ana_bejit says

    CaMILla. Smart move. I guess the whole family is now giving them the cold shoulder after Meghan spoke so badly about them.

  56. hannahhkate says

    MIL: Camilla
    DIL: Meghan
    Smart move? You bet. Camilla doesn’t have enough social currency to be seen aligning herself with that toxic waste dump of a situation.

  57. Parade says

    “Kamilla”, old round heels has no power Nor is she recognized as Princes William and Harry “mother”, step mother, she’s a smil.
    Meghan.
    Hmmm, Kam doesn’t seem bothered by the pedo parting bil. The RF is trashy.

  58. jmehallo says

    MIL Camilla
    DIL Meghan

    Nobody has endured more abuse from the British press than Camilla and still she has always soldiered on. Megan can’t take the bad press and wants attention for herself. And she obviously has no appreciation for prince Charles and Camilla going to bat for her when she married prince harry.

  64. beachchick218 says

    Camilla and MM. I think it’s funny. Markle is getting what she deserves…..she’s poison to the Royal Family. She’s either delusional or downright crazy to think she can beat the Royals. She’s a fool.

  65. nycmadam says

    Camilla Bowes Windsor

    Good move. I wouldn’t waste time on trying to be civil to Sparkles.

  67. Wallcat says

    Mother In Law: Camilla Parker-Bowles

    Smart move – best to distance herself from Meghan and her drama.

    Camilla and Meghan

    Game recognizes game. How can a backstabbing homewrecker decide she’s going to have nothing to do with a gold digging social climbing opportunist? SMH Opposite sides of the SAME coin! Girl bye!

  71. Bella Ciao Ciao says

    Camilla and Meghan. Ve4y smart from camillas side. Meghan is working on her own brand, not royal family as a whole. So much bad news in the press, i cant even imagine whats happening behind closed doors

  73. claire2050 says

    Camilla
    Meghan
    I don’t blame Camilla – the prospect of babysitting Meg is not appealing at all

  74. LizardQueen says

    MIL… Camilla Bowles?
    DIL… Meghan?

    Although I don’t think this is correct considering that Diana’s memory is such a force that Camilla could quite be considered the Mother to the Princes. But… maybe I’m wrong. Can’t wait to see the guesses!

  77. mmssjj18 says

  83. omgimbackagain says

    Camilla and Meghan

    Camilla has become one of the classiest members of the BRF and even though I love Diana I have forgiven Camilla. I admire her and believe that she and Charles are meant to be.

    • MantisGirl says

      I totally agree with you. I think it’s odd that people hold such a grudge against her when she never did anything to hurt them in the first place. It is not and never was their marriage nor their battle to fight.

  84. Steffy44 says

    I’m guessing Camilla and MEagain Sparkles. They just had their Remembrance Day too and MEagain was kept very far away from the Queen, Camilla and Kate who were all on the same balcony. MEagain was on the other side of a wall.

  85. Gerseychick says

    Sorry but you are way off saying Mother in-law….More like the Mistress who would not move away for the good of the Country…Princess Diana is the Mother in-law….Camilla Parker Bowles brought nothing but HEARTACHE to the Princess and 2 young boys….Charles is not fit to be King and Camilla will never be accepted as the Queen Consort…..Camilla has a lot in common with Harry’s Wife ..Both have been with EVERYBODY…..Both disliked very much in the UK and USA……Rest In Peace, Princess…

    • chillenout says

      sorry to break it to you but Diana has been dead for over 20 years, it past time to move on, a generation of people barely have a passing knowledge of who Diana was. Just accept the fact that Camilla Is accepted, and will make a fine consort.

    • ChattyCat says

      You forgot Australia. We’re not fans of the self-centred piece-of-work who had an affair with a married man who pined to be her feminine hygiene product.

    Optional:I was not suprised. Camilla never complained and never whined about press and public, and she was really hated. No wonder she can’t stand Meg.

    Camilla,
    Meghan,
    Wish Meghan would get a hint. I think Prince Charles needs to have a come to Jesus meeting with Harry and Meghan on behalf of HRHQE2

  93. cantbearsed says

    MIL: Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall (who has respectfully never opted to use the title Princess of Wales which she is legally entitled to do)

    DIL: the Duchess of Sussex, Rachel Meghan neé Markle

    Camilla suffered A LOT of abuse for years, now she’s more or less respected.

    Camilla knows she will never be as popular as Charles’ first wife. She’s also worked hard to toe the family line to be accepted, she isn’t going to do anything to make her look like a rebel or outsider.

    Plus…

    Please tell me that you didn’t just call the Queen a W****??!

    • ScootyPuffJunior says

      Have you actually seen “Mean Girls”?

      I also have to agree with pharmchick – I have no idea why so many people think that Queen Elizabeth ll is Meghans mother-in- law. Her mother-in-law is/was Diana – but her stepmother-in-law is Camilla.

  99. MrsWCleaver says

    Mother in Law – Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
    Daughter in Law – The Annoying Duchess of Sussex – Meghan Markle
    I think it’s a Smart Move. No one in that family wants to be associated with Megs or Harry these days. And MIL know what it’s like to be raked over the public coals. But she never ONCE whined about it in public. Unlike Meg & Harry.

  100. Searlait says

    It was definitely a smart move.

  104. aaaLina says

    Mother in law – Camilla
    Daughter in law – Megan Markle

    Camilla had no desire to babysit the pair so she played sick. She was seen the next day for the Remembrance services looking just fine 🙂

  106. JoshuaTree says

    Camilla Duchess of Cornwall

    Meghan Markle

    Camilla made it to the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph but was in the balcony with the Queen and Kate Middleton, far away from Meghan.

  110. VickyLou says

    Hehe he, well done Camilla!

    Mother In Law: Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall

    Daughter In Law: Megan, Duchess I’d Sussex

    [Optional] Smart move by MIL – totally. She was hated for Charles’ adultery with her, betraying omni-loved Diana. It took decades to win round the public, to realise she was Charles’ true love. To be photographed with Megan would just put her back in the firing line for trolling. Megan is not liked.

    • Alexis_Rose says

      @VickyLou is correct! Camilla was very wise to avoid a photo op with the toxic Ms. Markle. While I’m not a fan of Camilla, she took her beating by the press/public, kept her mouth shut, her head down, fulfilled her duties, and has mostly been able to end up on the positive side of things. It’s too bad Meghan can’t/won’t learn a few things from her, but I doubt Meghan is interested.

    • JoshuaTree says

      Her wig looked really flammable. And her bathrobe coat with the tiny belt was atrocious. The woman cannot put together anything right for the occasion she’s attending.

    • trivialtime says

      There’s a photo where she is resting her hand on her belly, the way she ALWAYS did with first pregnancy. Coupled with that silly unfocused grinning expression (at a remembrance ceremony), my money is in she’s “with child”. It would make sense because she never sprung back body-wise.

    MIL – Camilla Duchess of Cornwall and Philanderer extraordinaire

    Super rude and self serving. I’m sure Harry has taken note.

      LOL ikr, but she just doesn’t want to make her reputation any worse than it already is (which is a joke in itself)

    • mmssjj18 says

    Queen Elizabeth
    Duchess Sparkle

    Elizabeth is the ultimate Queen of Shade! As a southern woman who knows a bit about back-handed compliments, her subtle actions crack me up. Can only imagine the temper tantrums Meghan is having.

    • Silverdun says

      I think it’s got more to do with the fact that Camilla is skating on thin ice still, she’s done a ton of ‘charity’ works and such to try to get a better reputation, but mostly people here can’t stand her and haven’t forgotten. So she doesn’t want to get tarnished with Meghan, when she’s worked so hard to be ‘liked’.

  122. obsidianeyes says

    MIL – Camilla
    DIL – Meghan

    Optional: considering what C endured to get to her spot as the Princess of Wales? Yup. Let the younger folk learn to swim in the deep end.

    • Silverdun says

      Camilla is NOT the Princess of Wales! And never shall be. That title belongs to Princess Diana and she was a one off. Camilla is the Duchess of Cornwall. Big difference. I’m Welsh sorry, and want nothing to do with Camilla. Saying Camilla secured her spot as the Princess of Wales is very insulting!

    • Lindasu says

      Camilla is and never will be a Princess so to speak. She’s a Duchess now. When Charles takes the throne she will be known as a “Princess Consort”. This is of course all due to Charles looong affair with her before and during his marriage to Diana.

    • Lurky Lou says

      Actually, Camilla IS the Princess of Wales, however it is a title they have (wisely) chosen not to use due to the public love for Princess Diana. But it is one of her many titles. And she will be Queen Consort.

    • talljane says

      Actually Silverdun, Camilla IS the Princess of Wales, as she is the wife of the Prince of Wales. She does not USE the title, but instead uses the title of Duchess of Cornwall, out of respect for Diana, as well as to avoid public backlash. When Charles becomes King, William will then receive the title of Prince of Wales and his wife will then be HRH Katherine, Princess of Wales. The title of Princess of Wales was not a one-off for the late Diana. It’s been used for centuries.
