Every Royal Marriage Has Its Thorn: Stressful relationship between Meghan Markle and her father - Duration: 14:51.
Every Royal Marriage Has Its Thorn: Meghan Markle's Father Is Hardly the First In-Law to Plague This Family.
It's not always easy being royal, even when you're born into it, groomed for the life from day one and know what is expected of you.
So imagine the trial by fire that constitutes being born decidedly not royal and then joining the family down the road.
Meghan Markle is still in the infancy of her royalty, having just married Prince Harry on May 19,
less than two years after they first met on a blind date.
While her public life for the foreseeable future will be a blur of appearances,
protocol and calculated style decisions, she and Harry have managed to carve out time for themselves,
stealing away to an as-yet undisclosed place in East Africa for a honeymoon and joining forces to combat the mental exhaustion
that's been plaguing them from the Markle side of the family tree.
Yes, the honeymoon period has been uncomfortably shadowed by Meghan's father, Thomas Markle,
who suffered a heart attack barely a week before the wedding, rendering him unable to attend,
and since has been chatting with whomever will listen (a great many people, apparently) about his so-called concerns over his daughter's emotional state.
She looks "terrified," he surmised after looking at photos and videos of Meghan at work
(aka out and about fulfilling her new set of duties as wife of Queen Elizabeth II's rumored favorite grandson).
"Dad, I don't come to your job and judge you!"
At this point, it's hard to imagine that this man was going to be welcome anywhere in the UK in May,
let alone at the royal wedding, inside the chapel.
Add to that Meghan's half-sister, Samantha Markle, who painted an unsparing portrait of her sister before the wedding;
enough to merit an on-air dressing-down from Piers Morgan while he was interviewing her;
and just chimed in on Twitter this week to insist the new Duchess of Sussex quit ignoring their father.
"Act like a humanitarian act like a woman! If our father dies I'm holding you responsible,
Meg! @KensingtonRoyal," Samantha tweeted, per DailyMail.com's screengrabs.
OK, then.
Now, while we've never seen the queen pouring over a mobile looking at tweets,
there's no way any of this is occurring in a "let's not bother granny about this now" fashion.
The 92-year-old monarch is apprised of everything that happens among her sprawling family,
particularly when it pertains to their public image.
And she can't be pleased. Nor can Meghan for that matter.
DailyMail.com, meanwhile, is wondering whether Thomas even had a heart attack,
but was instead trying to save face after it came out days before the wedding that he had posed for staged paparazzi shots.
"He had to come up with a good enough reason not to attend her wedding and avoid any further embarrassment
after those staged photos went public," claimed a source close to Meghan.
Thomas, an Emmy-winning lighting director who had been living a previously quiet life in Mexico,
said he had a stent fitted at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center in San Diego, Calif.
Before the wedding, the royals were chided (in the media, that is) by etiquette experts who felt it wasn't right of them to not send a family representative to see Markle in person.
Among other things, the source added, "Don't feel sorry for him. If anything, feel sorry for Meghan".
Worrying about what your dad might say next certainly isn't any way to spend your newlywed days.
But Meghan, a former commoner, can at least rest a little easier knowing
that her still-commoner relatives aren't the first regular people to prove a thorn in the royals' side.
For starters, a lot of things qualify as an affront in their book, so if it wasn't this, it was going to be something else.
Just ask Kate Middleton and her sister.
Though the world appreciated the view, the royals were none too impressed by Pippa Middleton's attention-grabbing posterior that was;
in Hollywood terms, anyway—barely on display when she served as Kate's maid of honor in 2011.
There was no lingering effect on the sisters' relationship,
Kate probably being the only one who appreciated sharing the spotlight in the middle of the nuptial pressure cooker.
But it was only the beginning of the realization that the royals' proverbial leash extended to the in-laws.
With her sister's college romance really working out, Pippa too became a household name.
Her style, her affinity for sport and charity runs, and her dating life were prime subjects for the parsing—and she wisely struck while the iron was hot.
In 2012 she released a book, Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Family and Friends.
Her byline started appearing in the likes of Vanity Fair and Spectatorand she had her own column,
"Sport and Social," in the Telegraph for about nine months.
She was even rumored in 2012 to be mulling a regular gig as a Today correspondent,
after doing a reporting piece on assignment in America, but the NBC morning show said no such offer had been made.
"She is of course welcome as a guest on Today any time," a show rep told E! News.
It's not as if the lifestyle and event-planning world is the easiest market to break into, even for celebrities,
but rumor had it that it wasn't entirely Pippa's idea to not continue building her brand in favor of focusing more prominently on philanthropic work.
"It was felt by William in particular that she needed some guidance and support," a friend of Pippa's told the Mail on Sunday in 2016.
The reining-in reportedly even included no longer being the face of her parents' party-supply business, Party Pieces.
Another source said that at one point all sorts of offers in fitness, nutrition,
sports and other opportunities in Pippa's wheelhouse were coming in,
but "when it got down to signing off on any of the deals and doing any business, a line was drawn.
Pippa would always say no. She was the one driving it all and then it got to a point where she backed out and nothing would happen.
"Some of us assumed it was the Palace and I think at times it was quite frustrating for Pippa,
because there was never any progression when she wanted things to move forward".
At least Pippa, who's currently pregnant with her first child with husband James Matthews
(whose wild-card brother Spencer Matthews coincidentally dropped out of the reality show Made in Chelsea two years ago),
seems to have since found her niche in the philanthropic world.
Meanwhile, the toning down of Pippa's public profile was said to have been inspired by the desire to not have a repeat of what William's Aunt Sarah Ferguson,
Duchess of York, got up to after her divorce from Prince Andrew.
Her various post-split business endeavors, including becoming a longtime spokeswoman for Weight Watchers
and in 2009 appearing on the real estate reality show The Duchess on the Estate,
certainly upped her celebrity profile but served as a source of annoyance for The Firm,
aka the royal family. (All of this being in addition to the tabloid-friendly toe-licking scandal).
Ferguson getting caught on tape in 2010 negotiating a 500,000-pound fee from a reporter in exchange for access
to her ex-husband is said to have cost her an invitation to Will and Kate's wedding the following year.
Of course, as the mother of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie,
who's getting married in October, the original Fergie has never been too far from the fold,
and Prince Harry made sure that she was on the guest list to witness his I-dos in May.
Harry perhaps being the queen's favorite, who was she to argue?
It's her husband, Prince Philip, however, who's said to have the real issue with the Duchess of York.
Fergie and Andrew joined the ranks of the happily uncoupled and remained close friends over the years,
which meant the prince wanted her around the family business (of existing and going places, that is) more than your average ex-husband.
The duchess continued to visit the queen's Balmoral estate, for example,
and on a trip there in 2005, a friend of Fergie's told the Daily Express, Philip "avoided her like the plague.
I don't think they spoke a single word all week".
In 2015, also according to the Express, Philip and the queen had just arrived at the annual Royal Ascot
when they met Prince Andrew and his ex-wife coming out of a restaurant in the Royal Enclosure.
Andrew bowed toward his parents and, as Sarah curtsied,
witnesses said that Elizabeth smiled and waved and Philip couldn't even muster a grin for his former daughter-in-law.
While last year it was reported in Ingrid Seward's book My Husband and I:
The Inside Story of Royal Marriage that Prince Philip was the one who, on his last nerve,
furiously told his wife that she must insist Prince Charles and Princess Diana divorce after their years-long separation,
other accounts suggest the Duke of Edinburgh treated his controversial daughter-in-law, who died in 1997,
with empathy after she and Charles split up in 1992. (They didn't divorce till 1996).
In the summer of 1992, Philip wrote Diana letters, the princess' friend Rosa Monckton;
who said she was privy to the correspondence—explained to the Telegraph in 2007.
"I was struck by how kind and compassionate and understanding he was of her circumstances," Monckton said.
He also affectionately signed them "Pa," the Telegraph reported.
None of which is to say that Philip was happy with all of Diana's post-split decisions,
such as her eye-opening 1995 interview with Martin Bashir for the BBC's Panorama,
in which she discussed Charles' affair with Camilla Parker Bowles and admitted to her own infidelity.
But Philip, like the queen, will never be one to go on the record with what he really thinks about the subjects
that have proved most controversial to Britain's royal family over the years.
The queen's storied reaction, or public lack thereof, to Diana's death was not mitigated by the late princess' family,
who let it be known just how shabbily they felt the royals had treated Diana in the final years of her life.
"On behalf of your mother and sisters, I pledge that we, your blood family,
will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way in which you were steering these two exceptional young men,
so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition, but can sing openly as you planned,"
her brother Charles Spencer said in his eulogy at her funeral.
The Guardian called Spencer "a far more gifted moment-seizer than the Windsors have ever produced".
For the record, however, the former Lady Diana Spencer was not really considered a commoner,
but rather was a member of British nobility, before becoming a royal by marrying Charles in 1981.
The future Duchess Camilla of Cornwall, however, was a commoner, though she ran in impressive, royal-inclusive social circles.
And despite all the attention understandably paid to the fallout of Diana and Charles' unprecedentedly messy broken marriage,
it's not as though the queen was in love with Camilla,
whose former husband Andrew Parker Bowles had previously dated the queen's daughter and Charles' sister Princess Anne.
(Camilla's maternal great-grandmother, Alice Keppel, was also a mistress of King Edward VII, the queen's great-grandfather, from 1898 until 1910).
Charles and Camilla were nuts about each other, and perfectly well-suited, personality-wise,
but the future King of England wasn't thinking about marriage yet when they first met
and as Patricia Mountbatten says in Sally Bedell Smith's 2017 biography Prince Charles,
there were "obviously problems" with Camilla.
"You didn't want a past that hung about," said Patricia, a first cousin to Prince Philip.
Maybe not, but by the time Camilla and Charles finally married in 2005, everybody had a past.
"They have come through, and I'm very proud and wish them well,"
the Queen said at the wedding reception she hosted for them at Waterloo Chamber, according to Prince Charles.
"My son is home and dry with the woman he loves".
Every royal coin has two sides, however. Tom Bower's 2018 tome Rebel Prince:
The Power, Passion and Defiance maintains that, while the Queen did indeed make those tender-sounding remarks,
the mother of the groom barely spoke to Camilla at the wedding and spent less than a minute taking photographs.
She also went into a side room to watch a horse race with Camilla's ex-husband.
After Diana died, Bower wrote, the Queen and her mother,
the Queen Mother (who was also named Elizabeth) openly disapproved of Charles and Camilla's relationship,
which in turn prompted Charles to try and maintain a low profile with the love of his life—which subsequently frustrated Camilla.
According to Bower, when Charles finally asked his mother for at least her approval for him to live with Camilla,
the queen refused and referred to the divorcée as "that wicked woman".
At the same time, Charles' mother and grandmother were very kind to Camilla's ex-husband, Andrew Parker Bowles,
and had no problem receiving him at the various royal residences and other events.
It actually wasn't until the Queen Mother died, in 2002, that Queen Elizabeth II came around. Somewhat.
After Charles proposed in 2005, the Queen still had to grapple with public opinion,
which seemed firmly against the idea of Camilla one day being queen to Charles' king.
According to Bower, to assuage the people, Buckingham Palace referred to Camilla in briefings
as an "unwilling bride" who had no interest in the role—which was not at all the case.
"The best thing about the royal family is that they're so lovely," Mike Tindall, husband of Princess Anne's daughter,
Zara Tindall, told ITV's Good Morning Britain before Meghan and Harry's wedding.
While the former professional rugby player and known appreciator of a good time would seem to be a prime candidate for getting under the queen's skin,
Zara's grandmother doesn't seem to mind that he's quite the talker—mainly about himself and Zara,
of course, as spilling family secrets would be another story altogether.
But still, it appears as though Anne's decision to not give her children royal titles really paid off down the road when it came to not attracting as much ire from the monarchy.
Going by his own experience, Tindall expressed confidence that Prince Harry's future wife would do just fine on her big day, and beyond.
"I think she'll be nervous, but coming from her background in TV she's used to public spotlight," he said.
"Not quite as much probably as has gone on this week,
but she'll be fine and I think she's experienced enough to know that all she can do is enjoy the day.
And it's a special day for them both, and as long as they get a quiet moment during the day
and actually have enjoyed the day that's what I wish for them, and hopefully they'll live happily ever after".
Her dad and sister have made for a less than fairy-tale beginning, but rest assured,
Duchess Meghan, there's nothing more royal than commoner intrigue.

My Relationship with Korean Skincare - Duration: 14:15.
My History of Skincare
Hello~ How's it going?
Today I want to talk about something
specific
the main reason for which I opened this channel
and the reason I had for starting this channel
here on YouTube
The theme is Korean and Asian Skincare
Since many people have commented this to me
or people I know, people at school, people at work
I want to make a video
that's informative and can provide you with information
that you might not have been able to find in another place
Even though a lot of videos exist now
and a lot of blogs
and other resources that one can use to find information
about Kbeauty and Asian beauty products
I feel like there isn't a lot of information available
in spanish
And that's significant because
there's a lot of people especially in Latin America
who are getting into Kpop
Kdramas and
Kbeauty and asian beauty
And they would like to know these things
In this video, I'd like to talk about
certain questions my friends have asked me
and certain topics
that surround the topic of
kbeauty and asian beauty
So, first of all I'd like to talk about
What is the 'hype surrounding' kbeauty and asian beauty?
Why are so many people becoming interested
relatively recently, in the last 2 or 3 years
in the topic of asian beauty
So, first off
I think that through
the popularization of
kdramas, kpop and
and kfashion (korean fashion)
around the world, in the USA,
Europe and Latin America
I think a lot of people have become increasingly interested
not just the fashion and food and other culture related aspects
But also, in the cosmetics and beauty products
because they're skin appearance is attractive
and they're well known for having their skin well-cared for
and clean looking
*notice* However!
Even though kbeauty has been really useful to me
and for a lot of people I know
and a lot of people who have talked about their success using kbeauty and asian beauty products before me
It's not necessarily
the best solution for everyone
For me, since it has been really good for me
I'd like to share my experience with you guys
So that you guys can
use the right products or find things that you love as well
Many of my friends have asked me
How did I get into/find out about kbeauty and asian beauty?
It really started out when I went to University
my first year, one of my good friends
who I am still really close with
Jane! Hi ^_^
I met her when I started school
and she kind of introduced me to
korean movies and she helped guide me kind of
when I was just starting out my discovery of Korean Hallyu interest
in kdramas and korean pop and music
and through that
after watching a number of kpop idols
and kdramas, I started noticing
how nice their skin was
both the women and men
older people and younger people, all ages
they had such nice skin
and since I had just started my first year of University
I was pretty stressed out and
I wasn't eating right
I ate a bunch of junk food, basically a college freshman diet
I had my skin in pretty bad shape
and I wanted to find something to help my skin
and to help improve my self-confidence
and if there was a solution, I really wanted to find it
So from that
I got really into kbeauty and asian beauty
because of the kdramas and kpop
And I started out by searching for a lot of the products
that the idols were endorsing
or that the kdrama commercials were advertising
from certain brands
So through that I've tried a lot of products
that have different functionalities
And to be honest,
there have been products that have worked really well for me
and there have been products that I don't ever want to use again
So that's really another thing
that I want to share with you
Some of the well-known brands I've used are
all of these
are brands I've tried at one point
I haven't used all the products but at least
a number of products at different points
So I'd like to talk about that
and let you guys know which products I've liked
or which ones I don't recommend as much
through my future videos
The next question I've gotten quite a bit
Why are kbeauty and asian beauty products relatively less expensive?
Compared to Western beauty products
And the reason I think this is the case is and from what I've gathered from other sources
In Asia, in particular Korea, Japan
and China too
People give a lot of attention to their facial beauty and skin
and they really take care of their skin
So starting at an early age
they learn to use the right products
to take care of their skin and this is something that throughout their lives
women and men, alike
really seem to value and give importance to
I think that this has really contributed
to the fact that there are many products and brands
that sell their products at a reasonable, baseline cost
And this is really good for us!
Since we're used to paying a higher price in the USA, or Western countries
and other parts of the world
Since it's not something AS common as it is in Asian countries
This also means that the beauty/cosmetic industry
is really developed in Asia
So this has
allowed products like BB cream
that exploded around the world
after it was popularized and came out of Korea (but actually originally from Germany!)
They are much more advanced than
maybe us here in the US
since quite a bit of attention is constantly on the beauty industry
to innovate and create a newer, better product
I think that this has allowed
for the development of the asian beauty industry
and this is all beneficial to us (who live outside of Asia)
for people who are interested in improving their skin
this means we
can potentially get access to products
that may not exist in the US
So really, we just need to search and be aware
Which leads me to my next question
There's so much information out there now
How can you know that certain products or resources you use are trustworthy?
I think that you need to use
your best judgement
Products can offer a lot
but they might only do one of the ten things it says it will do
But if that's enough reason for you to continue
using the product, then keep using it
But there have also been products I've tried that have been awful
I have bad reactions to the product
And I immediately stop using the product
Even if it says it going to be the most amazing product
there's no real reason to continue using it
You have to think a bit
about how there's going to be a lot of information out there
maybe not so much in Spanish
but in English or Korean
and for that reason you need to use caution
and your best judgement in choosing the products
Another thing I'd like to talk about is
Even though there's a lot of products out there
from all kinds of brands and all types of solutions
you do need to be careful using brands/products
that are so cheap
that they might not be
the best things for your skin
I think I've had a lot of hit and misses
and experience with these products
I started out with the most basic
and I've grown to use products of much higher quality
So I feel like
I can share that journey with you guys
So that you guys can have more info when you're choosing
your products
so that you have the most information when choosing
that can help you make the best decisions for your skin
One of the final questions
I've gotten a lot
What are certain keywords you can look for in products
In my opinion,
this has more to do with the type of skin you have
and the goals you want to reach with your skin
For example,
if you have older skin
and you want to prevent wrinkles or spots
you should look for products with "brightening"
or "whitening"
But before you guys freak out
with those words
"Whitening" in kbeauty and asian beauty
doesn't exactly mean
making your skin white
It means
for example, you might have
sun spots or acne scars
which I personally had a lot of
acne scars that had left
my skin with spots
that made my skin look bad overall
Even though I was doing a lot of preventative stuff
and using good products
those scars were still not fading, even after started taking care of my skin
So I started looking for products
that would help me get rid of those
darker spots on my skin
And that didn't mean that I was going to make my skin white
even though you might think I'm a bit pale..
it wasn't with the intention of making my skin white
but instead to balance out my skin tone
So I looked for products that said
"balancing" and "whitening"
*oops forgot to silence my phone*
And those products will be the best ones
to help get rid of those dark spots or scars over time
and to help your skin
be brighter
and have an even skin tone
and you'll feel like you have one balanced color across your skin
even!
So these two keywords and more
are some that I have noticed are good to know
when looking for kbeauty products
and asian beauty products
I'll try to share some more of these words
through future videos
I feel like I maybe didn't cover
everything I should have covered
But I don't want to make this video too long
I'd rather have it as a sort of intro to kbeauty
and basically to let you guys know
I know that there is a lot of information out there
and there are so many resources you can use now
including youtube videos
that already exist on the topic of kbeauty and asian beauty
But I'd still like to share my experience and
all the information that
I've collected over the last 5-6 years
that I've been into this world of kbeauty
and asian cosmetics
To be able to give you this information
that I feel like doesn't exist in Spanish
for the spanish speakers, like me!
That I feel like didn't exist
when I was first trying to get into the world of asian beauty
So whatever questions or comments
you guys have, please feel free to leave them here
I'd always love to help out if I can!
Thank you! Have a lovely day!
byeee :)
