The Pretend Holiday Invitation

December 23, 2018 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] What better way to celebrate the holiday season than to pretend that your new family cares about your old family!

Someone associated with this actress put out a story that her “new” family invited her favorite relative to spend the holidays with them… but that her relative declined the invitation.

No.

The story was a completely fabrication. There was never an invitation. There are many other in laws and such much more important to the family and they have never been invited. The [new family] does not know from where this story originates. They have quietly let other distant relatives know that the story was untrue to avoid hurt feelings. However, they can not publicly refute it as it would make them look unwelcoming.

That makes sense. Besides, if an invitation was actually extended, there is a 100% chance that it would have been accepted.

Was someone is trying to spin the family holiday to make themselves look important and special?

[Optional] Was that a smart or stupid rumor for her to put out there? Why?

    Meghan Markle and her mom Doris.
    Not a smart move on Meghan’s part to put out an untruth like that but there may be one or even several reasons behind it: 1. She really wanted her mom to be there and thought by putting the statement out, the RF would then have to invite Doria for real to save face 2. To explain why Doria was not at pregnant Meg’s side for Xmas 3. To boost her own profile within the RF by boosting her mom’s.
    MM should stop though while she’s ahead.

    I agree w/ @Nchaniago — the story of *why* the mom got an invite is bizarre & not even slightly believable. Was she trying to (a) get a jab in at her estranged family, i.e., mom acted appropriately & she could go to Christmas if she wants & you never will or (b) just put out a story the Royals an enamored w/ her mom? Rachel Meghan Markle . . . time to start repeating this to yourself: “I’m not in Kansas (Hollywood) any more.”

    Geez…it’s beginning to look like Meagain has some serious mental problems. What a psycho! Great job, Harry.
    If I was Kate, I would be staying as far away from her as possible.

    Meagan Markle pretending that Doris was invited to the royal family Christmas (shades of Hyacinth Bucket.)

    Optional: Not too smart, IMHO. Royal family will now be wary/leery of her. Why p!$$ off your entire new family in one go round, especially with the balance of power in their favor?

    Another vote for Sarah Ferguson 2.0 aka Meghan Markle, who was supposedly dragging the Windsors kicking & screaming into the shiny new millennium. They’re not having that – I wouldn’t doubt even Diana would’ve been fed up with her by now.

  6. Squirrelnutkin says

    December 24, 2018 at 9:09 am

    Oh my! Meghan strikes again!

    How does this whole thing keep getting worse? I’m sure she’s behind it. Maybe her friend (only friend?) Jessica Mulroney? I think it’s a terrible idea. How would she have possibly thought this would buy her favor with anyone? Clearly the RF would know this is coming from her and will distance from her even more… I’ve got my popcorn out to see what happens next!

    [Optional] Was that a smart or stupid rumor for her to put out there? Why? It beggars belief and so outstandingly stupid. No other in-laws have ever been invited previously. If ‘any’ invite was ever extended to in-laws, it would be to the Duchess of Cambridge’s family because she is a future Queen. It will never happen in the current Queen’s reign.

    More of Markle’s reindeer games. A stupid rumor; the way she has played everyone has been shockingly short-sighted and not the least bit smart. She’s as obvious as they come. Harry will eventually grow some, but not for several years, when they’re kaput.

    It was suggested that her Mother was invited to spend Christmas with the Royal family but turned down the invitation.

    Sounds like Meghan Markle inviting her Mom. Can you blame her?

    She wants to spend Christmas with her Mother, I don’t understand the hate she gets for that. And it’s cruel that Meghan, an only child, has to watch her Mother spending Christmas all alone because the royal family has all those stupid rules in place.

    Get out of there Meghan!

This will backfire on her so badly if she doesn’t start falling into line and stops getting people to leak stories in her favour. The Royals and certainly the people who work for them are not stupid. The only one who is stupid is Meghan if she thinks she can fight the royal firm. It must have been a shock to her when she realised she was an inconsequential royal

      It is a pity too because she could do so much good if she humbled herself and really devoted herself to 1/2 key causes to better others – not just thinking of herself.

      Now we know why the Queen traveled with her so early – she wanted to see if what people were saying (that Meghan was crafty and sly) was true. She found out it was.

    Maybe Meghan Markle. If it was her who launched the rumour she is bordering on total stupidity. In the long term, the Family has more power and reach than she does, she’d do well to stop angering them. Her constant schemes aren’t even really for noble motives – if she was trying to turn the UK into a Republic, or did this to benefit the disadvantaged it would be tolerable. This is all just about herself – the mind boggles as to why Harry was so blind sided.

    Really, that is not the worst story, even if fake. It makes the family seem inviting – for once. I do understand that tit for tat would mean Kate’s parents would have to come. I secretly believe the Queen sees them as the climbers they are and that’s why the inner circle stays as the inner circle. Maybe better to have a closed doors policy.

    this must be Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, not spending xmas with the royals. It seems unchristmas-like to omit a singleton from family festivities, however, historically with the royals, non-family people are never invited to the queen’s xmas. I believe the queen is doing her best to hang on to her traditions because once she is gone, the traditions will change.

      I think that Charles and eventually William will keep many of the traditions exactly as they are. The Queen didn’t create most of them either…

    Meghan Markle about her mum Doria.

    Not the cleverest move but she certainly likes people talking about her regardless of whether it’s bad or good it seems.

    Pretending Meghan Markle’s mom, Doria Ragland, was invited to the Windsor Christmas. As if.

    All rumors put out by Meghan are ridiculous and she needs to just stop. I don’t feel this “fairy tale romance” is going to end well.

    Meghan Markle, whose mother was apparently invited to Sandringham.

    Meghan Markle and her Mother, Doria. I think Meghan wants her mother there and by putting the story out there she would have been forcing the Royals hand. Unfortunately for her, it hasn’t worked. Meghan needs to start realising what she’s married into and that Elizabeth dictates Christmas.

      Yes, this! 👆👆I also think MM thought she could force an invitation for her mom with this rumor. She really seems to think she’s above the rest of the family when it comes to following rules and traditions

    Actress: Meghan Markle
    Story about her mother being invited and declining it

    Optional: Probably smart, so many people have her painted as a cold person who cut off her entire family in favour of royal status, so at least by pretending her mom was invited she doesn’t look entirely ruthless.
