(A peaceful tea time in the gardens with your lovely butler by your side)

[Yandere! Butler]: Would you like more biscuits my lord?

[Lord Darling]: That would be delightful!

[Yandere! Butler]: Then please do wait! I'll go to the kitchen to get some! (He bowed)

(As yandere! Butler was walking to the kitchen, he heard a knock in the front door, he frowned on who it could be and possibly someone who will bother his lord, with a huff he opened the door to reveal Lord Middleton holding bouquet of fresh flowers)

[Yandere! Butler]: Ah~ Lord Middleton what brings you here in this peaceful afternoon? (He silently glared at the bouquet)

[Lord Middleton]: is your lord here?

[Yandere! Butler]: May I ask what business do you have with my lord?

[Lord Middleton]: that is a personal business that people like you are not allowed to know!

[Yandere! Butler]: of course..Do forgive me, please follow me and I will lead to my lord (he moved to side and gestured him in)

[Lord Middleton]: Yes yes..lead the way!

(Yandere! Butler led him to the opposite side of the house and down to the basement)

[Lord Middleton]: Are you really sure that your lord is here? This is a particular place to work..

[Yandere! Butler]: Well my lord has a particular taste of things...

[Lord Middleton]: I see...(fidgets the ribbon wrap around the bouquet)

[Yandere! Butler]: Right this way..(he gestures the door)

[Lord Middleton]: A-Ah yes! (He opened the door and walked inside)

[Lord Middleton]: Why is it so dark here? (He looked back at the door only to see it suddenly close)

(Lord Middleton became scared and walked backwards as he heard the voice of someone)

[Yandere! Butler]: You have alot of nerve showing up here..

[Lord Middleton]: Why are you doing this?!

[Yandere! Butler]: It's just job of mine to get rid of pest like you...

( Suddenly a brutal force push Lord Middleton backward into a metal platform as he heard loud bang and a click.

Then he felt his surrounding getting hot and he suddenly screamed as it gets more and more hot , his skin feels like it's melting away it's like he's in hell , he banged on the walls and crying out loud for help but no one can help him. He then look forward to see the silhouette of the devil butler picking up the bouquet of flowers he thought so much on...)

[Yandere! Butler]: Such as shame~ (he fidgets the petals) I'm sure my lord would love these flowers but I'm afraid I'll be the one delivering them , untill then lord Middleton

(He bowed and turned his back at the screaming and banging furnace)

[Lord darling]: Where have you been? You sure took your time..

[Yandere! Butler]: My apologies my lord.. I had to take care of something but I did pick these up along the way (He held up bouquet of flowers)

[Lord Darling]: Oh! How lovely! (You grab the bouquet)

[Lord darling]: Thank you! (You fidget with petals)

[Yandere! Butler]: it is with no problem! My lord..Now let's get back to tea time! (He place a tray of pastries on table)

(You fidget with the petals when you noticed a small ashes on them, although you do smell a bit of charcoal on them , have they been in the furnace somehow? Oh well, such nonsense!)

WHO HAD A SECRET RELATIONSHIP WITH WHOM?!

@miraculoushedgehog replied to your post: I need this info on 81’ Thomas 😂

In Sense and Sensibility 1981, the servants of Barton cottage are not ones coming with the Dashwoods from Norland; whether sir John sent them or they are just a fixture of the place, the series doesn't tell us, but they do get a grand introduction:

Thomas, who is doing some gardening as he awaits the Dashwoodses, with as much or more enthusiasm as Mr Collins' noticing Lady Catherine's carriage, tells the maid when he sees the carriage:

Darcy cannot fix the hour or the spot? Skill issue. This man certainly can, as he ran inside, put on a coat and proceeded to greet them:

What a meet cute! Ma Dashwood is not at all displeased:

She has not withdrawn her hand! she smiles at him!

I know who this woman was voting for on that tournament.

Once she moves past him, he pointedly looks at her as she makes her way to the front door, and then adds:

He introduces Susan, and then:

He's taken with her!

You'd say, Scarlet, you are reading too much into this! these are just some perfunctory introductory lines!

Well, you are wrong, because this sequence hasn't ended yet! I'm tempted to think this is the servant character with the most lines in any Austen adaptation. Which reinforces my theory that this is done ON PURPOSE :P

He shows her the different rooms, and then:

He smiles at her approval, and clearly attempts to prolong their conversation with:

Realizing perhaps this is pushing his luck, as she doesn't answer, he adds:

This is not the last time we see him in this very episode, as he comes in to assuage Lady Middleton's fears that her son might be injured, and informing all that only his cucumber frame has been destroyed, showing with that his great presence of mind.

Episode 2. Tom, who introduced himself last episode as doing gardening and odd jobs, has been ascended to doorman:

After we meet Willoughby, the same way Andrew Davies treated us to some wet shirt Edward, we are treated to some Tom doing physical labour, clearly highlighting how romance is blossoming in parallel between so similar a mother and a daughter:

He stops to listen to Marianne and Willoughby sing a song:

The face of a man in love!

The Queen Maab scene follows this one, and then, as Marianne and Willoughby are singing again another day, what do we see first as background to their singing?

Ma Dashwood! Carrying flowers! This is such an obvious yet subtle romantic parallel. This is the kind of soft romantic storytelling I'm here for.

That's Willoughby's carriage as he's brought back Marianne from Allenham. Would Thomas be complete if he didn't love horses?

Episode 3: We open with some Thomas working in the background:

So that we not forget his real relevance in this story's subtext.

Ma Dashwood not even trying to be subtle.

Another Tom cameo:

And another:

Ma Dashwood's reaction upon hearing that Mrs Jennings has invited Elinor and Marianne to go to London with her:

It is worth mentioning that in this adaptation, there's no Margaret. Ma Dashwood is not sick. There's absolutely no reason for her not to be invited, so why didn't Mrs Jennings invite her? Well, of course, because with her nose for romance she's sniffed her secret out! Ma Dashwood does then demolish all Elinor's objections, is truly overjoyed at the idea of being left behind, and explicitly mentions her having Tom and Susan with her as a reason for Elinor and Marianne to go with a clean conscience.

Ma Dashwood's face after her daughters leave the room:

During episodes 4-5, the series of course focuses on our main heroines in London and Cleveland, leaving us to imagine the full blossoming of this romance happening at Barton cottage, and all the angst and heartbreak that their class separation imposes on these middle aged lovers. Ma Dashwood may be a romantic, but she understands that her daughters come first.

As soon as we return to Barton in episode 6, so returns our favorite gardener-doorman-oodjobman Tom! Without seeing him, Ma Dashwood recognizes his way of shutting the front door, and calls his name, and then smiles at his answering:

♪ So this is love... ♫ (notice Elinor drawing Edward's portrait)

(Then we get the "Thomas tells them Mr Ferrars is married" scene)

Then this scene follows:

It's a really clever piece of writing, where the writers both show us the grown intimacy, respect and appreciation between them, and give us a nice metaphor, where the flowers of the hedgerow, that represent Tom, are picked by Ma Dashwood, beautiful in her eyes, and made fit for polite society. Alas, the crucial question remains: how can they love be, without ruining Marianne and Elinor's prospects?

As we all know, Edward comes and proposes to Elinor, and marries her. We are then treated to a visit of colonel Brandon, where Ma Dashwood sees how much Marianne's feelings and attitudes towards the colonel have changed.

The last line and frame of the adaptation belongs to Ma Dashwood:

That would, to any distracted viewer, seem very odd. Why that? And why that line? But for the attentive viewer who has been able to piece together the little drama behind the curtains, it's patently clear: she has realized that Marianne will marry Brandon, and once that happens, she will be free to have her own second happily ever after herself, with Tom, the gardener of her heart.

[anonymoushouseplantfan]

I've long wondered how the rest of the family have been feeling about Harry and Meghan. Minus the Yorks, what are your thoughts on the others. Thanks.

My thoughts on them or their thoughts on each other?

I think what we are learning now is that the way the family is set up gives rise to a lot of rivalries and jealousies. I think that is why Anne made sure her kids (i) knew they wouldn’t have titles, and (ii) had interest and achievements outside of royalty. Ed and Sophie seem to be doing the same with Louise’s garden job and carriage-riding hobby.

I think that’s the healthiest way to do it. The problem with Will and Harry is that they shared the same interests and essentially the same public image—Africa, conservation, Diana, the military, flying… That exacerbated the rivalry. The same happened to Kate and Pippa, to some extent. I hope the Waleses avoid that with their children. They need to make sure they have separate identities that don’t compete with each other.

Overall, I think Anne’s kids are the happiest and healthiest in the bunch. The Yorkies seem to be pretty well-adjusted as well, but that may be a mirage. Edo surprised me, frankly. I was suspicious of him at first, but he seems to be handling things well. The Middleton kids were aimless for a while but they seem to have found their way. The Spencers seem to be all over the place.

It would be interesting to know what they all thought about Harry. He’s pretty resentful of the supposedly unfair way he was treated, and I wonder how he treated the lower-ranking cousins.

[thewales]

Harry has accused both the palace and the press of pitting Kate and Meghan against each other. While there may be some truth to that - what he fails to mention in his memoir is the internal rivalry that doomed the royal sisterhood from the start.

And like the tearful wedding row - dresses played a central part.

As a self-made woman with her own successful TV career and website, The Tig, Meghan entered the royal fray having already secured paid partnerships with the likes of Neiman Marcus in the US.

Naturally, when Meghan became engaged to Harry in Nov 2017, she would have expected to receive even more preferential treatment from hand-picked suppliers than she had already grown used to.

But as with the family hierarchy - there was a pecking order: and the problem for Meghan was that Kate always appeared to get first dibs on designers.

Erdem Moralıoğlu was one of Meghan’s absolute favourites, but even after Harry had put a ring on it, Kate, who was already a client, continued to get priority. (The Montreal-born, Bethnal Green-based designer had also just unveiled a Spring 2018 collection inspired by Elizabeth II, who made her first appearance at London Fashion Week that year).

Suffice to say the notion of her soon-to-be sister-in-law receiving preferential treatment did not, it is claimed, go down well with Meghan, especially as she “wasn’t even Queen”. (Meghan always pointedly insisted on calling the Princess of Wales “Kate” even though the rest of the family referred to her as “Catherine”. Harry reveals in Spare that when he first introduced Meghan to his brother - Kate remained in the garden, playing with the children - hardly the welcome they both wanted).

Yet while Kate was regularly stepping out in Erdem, as a royal Meghan did not wear the brand on an official engagement until Commonwealth Day in March 2019.

Resentment also grew over Meghan’s mistaken belief that Kate’s parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, were cashing in on their royal connections to get special treatment.

Wrongly convinced Kate’s family had free use of the Windsor Suite, the VIP lounge at Heathrow, Meghan insisted that her mother Doria use it when travelling to the UK, allegedly citing the risk to her safety. In fact, no one can recall the Middletons using the Windsor Suite - although William and Kate do use it whenever they travel through the airport. Doria was spotted there en route to Windsor for Harry and Meghan’s wedding in May 2018.

Meghan was also said to be upset that Kate’s sister Pippa Middleton initially declined to invite her to her wedding to James Matthews in May 2017, perhaps fearing she would be upstaged by Harry’s girlfriend. She later relented and invited her to the evening reception “to keep the peace”. According to Harry, William and Kate then took exception to the couple moving the name places at the table - before being accused of doing the same when the Sussexes got married.

The French couture dresses did not fit any of the bridesmaids properly and, contrary to Harry’s suggestion that Kate was the only one who made a fuss, Meghan told staff at the time she had complained to the designer and that several of the mothers were angry. The row didn’t actually happen at a fitting but when Kate went round to Meghan’s to discuss it. (At this point both women lived at Kensington Palace: Meghan at Nottingham Cottage and Kate at Apartment 1A).

Ironically, it was Meghan herself who acknowledged to the then Cambridges’ staff that Kate “had left in tears” - in a bid for help to smooth it over. That’s why the palace couldn’t demand a retraction.

Even the Prince of Wales had witnessed the aftermath of Meghan’s “bridezilla” behaviour.

The Duchess is alleged to have spoken particularly harshly to a young member of the team in front of her colleagues after criticising a wedding plan she had drawn up, saying: “If there was literally anyone else I could ask to do this, I would be asking them instead of you.” When William heard of the incident, he took the woman aside and said: “I hope you’re okay. You’re doing a really good job,” prompting her to burst into tears.

But the Cambridges, as they were then known, had their reservations from the start.

As she never shied from reminding aides, she already had a public profile thanks to starring in the legal drama Suits. “Her approach was: I know everything but I want you to control me so I can rebel against it”, said someone familiar with her modus operandi. She didn’t seem to fully understand how the monarchy worked, however. At one point during the Sussexes’ tour of Australia in 2018, according to Low, she allegedly declared: “I can’t believe I’m not getting paid for this.” On another occasion she asked those involved with the Royal Foundation why they weren’t doing more to “monetise” the Invictus Games, Harry’s charitable initiative for wounded ex-service personnel.

Contrary to Harry’s suggestion he was unsupportive, it was the Prince of Wales “in fix it mode” who agreed that experienced and highly professional Amy Pickerill be moved from the press office to become Meghan’s deputy private secretary following her engagement to Harry.

Yet shortly after the announcement, a senior aide discreetly raised with the couple the difficulties caused by their treatment of staff who were “bending over backwards” to help them. People needed to be treated with understanding, even when they were not performing to Harry and Meghan’s exacting standards. The Duchess is said to have replied: “It’s not my job to coddle people.”

Royals are expected to pay for their wardrobe - official and unofficial. Yet when she first came on the scene, Meghan’s expectation was that she could keep some of the dresses she had been loaned.

Yet when an ice cream van was sent to Kensington Palace, it apparently came with Meghan’s strict instructions that it should only be enjoyed by the Sussexes’ crew and not the Cambridges, their staff or even their children. After the Duchess left, her staff called the rest of the household insisting they share in the spoils. One former employee explained that Meghan’s generosity made her unpleasant behaviour even harder to manage. “One minute she’d be buying you flowers, the next she’d be blanking you.”

So when William claimed Meghan was “difficult”, “abrasive”, “rude” and “alienating half the staff” during the dog bowl row at Nottingham Cottage in 2019, he wasn’t “parroting” the media, as Harry claims. In fact, he was all too aware of Meghan’s reputation well before the nickname “Duchess Difficult” started appearing in the press.

Mystery Solved! Pippa Middleton and James Matthews have purchased Sir Terence Conran's previous estate in Berkshire: Barton Court.

Reports about the Princess of Wales' sister Pippa's new estate in Berkshire have been quite vague, but today I finally found the planning permits.

The Matthews paid £15 million for Barton Court, located in Kintbury, Hungerford, Berkshire.

"Barton Court was built in 1772 for Admiral Lord Dundas: a typical, red-brick, early Georgian house of five bays with a projecting central open-pedimented entrance front, enhanced by round-headed windows in the upper storeys."

The top yellow star in the right part of the above map is the estate where Michael and Carol Middleton live in Bucklebury, and the solid red dot on the left is the location of James and Pippa Matthews' new estate. Close enough for a short car drive to visit, but far enough apart to allow each family some private time.

The planning permit request is for "Relocation of an outdoor swimming pool and construction of a tennis court within the walled garden, and conversion of a potting shed to associated changing room and plant room."

Below is the celebrated walled garden that will be replaced with tennis courts and possibly a very large swimming pool:

Sir Terence Conran was a famous British designer who passed away in September 2020. He founded the Habitat and Conran shops. He was also renowned for designing restaurants, office buildings and stores. Conran ran several restaurants and wrote more than 50 books about design.

House and Garden UK did a nice feature on the property with many color photos taken by Princess Margaret's ex-husband, if you're curious about the interior of Pippa's new home.

From the article: "In earlier days a stone-flagged hallway ran from the door to the stairway between the enclosing walls of adjacent rooms. These rooms have now been gutted to provide a combined hall and living room of vast area: over a hundred feet in length." Looks like the original tile is still in place.

Apparently, some of the family of Sir Terence Conran was very upset that his estate was sold, as it was said to have been his dream for the estate to remain in the family.

"Both the house and the estate, according to one visitor, were to be 'overseen by the Conran family'. But no longer: I can reveal that the house has been sold for £15 million, despite Conran's vision, which included selling fruit and vegetables from greenhouses and a massive walled garden.

Members of the family appear to be in the dark about quite why the sale has gone ahead. One tells me that it is the executors of Conran's will who are selling the property, not his widow, Lady Conran.

The interior designer Vicki Davis married Sir Terence in 2000 at Chelsea Town Hall. His children — Sebastian and Jasper by his second wife, Superwoman author Shirley Conran, and Tom, Sophie and Ned by his third, cookery writer Caroline Herbert — only learned of it later.

That was no accident: Conran's children, it was playfully said, needed an appointment to see him.

The executors of his will decline to comment. But I can disclose that Vicki has already left the house and a new family has moved in."

Little did we know in June 2022 that it was Pippa Middleton and her family who bought the estate!

But here is another article interviewing Conran's widow, Vicki. She felt the house was too much for one person to maintain, and that none of his many children would want the upkeep. Conran apparently did not die of Covid either. It's a good article, detailing his vast collections and giving you a better idea of what he was like. After living there 50 years, Conran's widow was given 8 weeks to pack up everything and move out by the new owners...

Here is the planning application map showing the property outline:

Interestingly, the large buildings to the left of Barton Court are actually a very large custom furniture workshop and retail store. The owner, Sean Sutcliffe, "met Terence Conran and a firm friendship was made over a shared interest in making, wood, design and sustainability. They founded Benchmark together and our workshop and showroom are situated in the grounds of Terence’s country home."

That should prove very interesting for Pippa and family - perhaps those who are royal watchers might plan to do some furniture shopping in the near future! I'm sure, however, that the Matthews family will have plans in place to secure the perimeter of their new estate - or perhaps Mr. Matthews will just buy Benchmark Furniture outright and have its premises moved. Pretty sure he can afford it, since they recently sold their Chelsea mansion for £22.5 million, £5.5 million more than he paid for it.

|Chapter 4|

Colonel Brandon eased his horse down the familiar path leading to his estate, feeling each familiar dip and rise in the land beneath him. His mind wandered back to the harsh eight months spent on military assignments in the West Indies and Australia—a grueling tour of duty that tested his resolve and drained his spirit. The relentless sun, the unyielding sea, and the stern faces of men hardened by constant peril filled his thoughts, but with each hoofbeat toward home, the weight of those days began to lift.

As he rode, Brandon's thoughts inevitably turned to his personal life, or rather, the lack of it. Over the years, his military engagements had often come at the expense of his private happiness. Love had brushed past him, a whisper of what might have been, leaving him with memories of opportunities lost. Now, with what he hoped was his final mission behind him, a wave of sentimentality washed over him. Perhaps it was time to find someone to share in the quiet moments, someone whose love matched the fervor of his own. Yet, as he contemplated this possibility, he shook his head, dismissing it as unlikely fortune.

Upon arriving at his estate, he was greeted with the warm and familiar faces of his staff. Their genuine smiles and respectful nods were a balm to his weary soul. After a long bath to wash away the grime of his travels and a change into fresh garments, he was gently reminded by a maid that dinner awaited him.

Sitting alone at the grand dining table, surrounded by opulence meant for many, the empty chairs echoed his earlier musings. The possibility of sharing his life with someone seemed even more poignant now. Lost in these thoughts, a servant approached, presenting him with a letter sealed with Sir John Middleton's familiar stamp.

Breaking the seal, Brandon read about Sir John's understanding of the hardships he had faced and the invitation to a forthcoming garden party. The letter hinted at relaxation and perhaps, more intriguingly, the prospect of finding someone special. Sir John’s words, suggesting it was high time he found a companion who could love as deeply as he did, stirred something within him. Sighing he put the letter aside and finished his dinner in contemplative silence. He then withdrew to his study, where he hoped to immerse himself in anything that would distract himself from Sir Middleton's invitation. However, that proved easier said than done.

The Colonel, ensconced in his study and gradually immersing himself in the depths of his botanical tome, felt a lingering unrest stirring within him. As he pondered Sir John Middleton's invitation, the ramifications of attending the party began to occupy more of his thoughts. The cool night air wafted through an open window, carrying with it the scent of the gardens below—those meticulously kept expanses that were, to him, both sanctuary and solitude.

He placed the book aside and walked over to the window, gazing out at the serene darkness settling over his estate. "It's an opportunity, is it not?" he spoke softly to himself, considering the gentle push from Sir John towards companionship. "A chance to step beyond these walls, not just in duty but perhaps for personal fulfillment as well."

Drawing in a deep breath, he continued, "I've seen much of the world—its wildness, its beauty, and its trials. Yet, here, in my own heart's landscape, there lies an uncharted territory." He paused, his reflection faintly visible against the glass. "Could there truly be someone at this party who might share such a vision? Someone to share not just idle chatter but the quieter, deeper conversations I've longed for?"

Colonel Brandon chuckled quietly at his own hopeful musings. "And what of love? A notion so easily spoken of by others but such a rare visitor to my own life." The thought seemed both a balm and a fear, a possibility he had often dismissed but which now seemed worth considering. "Well," he murmured, turning from the window, "perhaps the evening will reveal more than just the same old dance of social niceties. Perhaps."

He picked up his pen, his hand steadier now, and wrote a brief note of acceptance to Sir John's invitation. As he sealed the envelope, he allowed himself to entertain the hope, however slight, that this garden party might indeed be the catalyst for something new, something meaningful. "To new beginnings, however they may come," he whispered, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth as he handed the letter to his waiting servant.

Watching his servant leave with the letter, Colonel Brandon felt a subtle lift in his spirits, a slight loosening of the weight he had carried since his return. The decision made, there was now a sort of eagerness in him, a readiness to face whatever the garden party might bring, whether it be tedious company or delightful encounters.

He ascended the staircase to his bedchamber, his steps slow but steady. There, he opened the doors of his wardrobe, contemplating his attire for the upcoming occasion. He selected a fine, dark blue coat and matching waistcoat, which he laid out carefully on his bed, along with a crisply starched white shirt and a subtly patterned cravat. Ensuring everything was in order for the tailor's review on the morrow, he felt a renewed sense of purpose.

With his attire chosen, Colonel Brandon allowed himself a few moments of quiet reflection by the window, looking out over the moonlit grounds of his estate. The quiet of the night soothed his nerves, and a gentle breeze whispered through the open window, carrying with it the scent of the blooming gardens below.

Finally, feeling the day's weariness encroach once more, he extinguished the candles and settled into bed. As he lay in the darkness, his thoughts drifted to the forthcoming party, to the faces it might bring into his life, and to the faint, yet distinct possibility of finding someone who could truly share his heart and home. With these hopeful thoughts, he drifted into a peaceful sleep, the first in many nights not haunted by the shadows of the past.

The Yacht struts - TW's friends (Markus's party crowd)! by u/narcwatchkiwi

The Yacht struts - TW's friends (Markus's party crowd)! As we know Hollywood is a VERY competitive place. There are a lot of people jostling for a few roles. Sometimes even extremely talented people, unfortunately don't make a break.So let's say there is a bunch of low level, D - list actresses and influencers, not overly talented, kind of like TW and Instagram Influencer Jessica Mulroney want to stand out from the crowd and get some extra attention. Not especially talented as actresses, not particularly creative or interesting, but very fond of the lime light and materialistic - pushy and prepared to do all sorts to get ahead. How do such relatively low ranking celebrities get attention? In TW's and Mulroney's case - it seems to be using a variety of techniques, including networking meetings organized by Soho house 'Fixer' Markus Anderson, as well as travel to a variety of sailing locations and flying around the world and partying at Soho house openings in locations like Turkey and networking on yachts in the Caribbean. One of the techniques from MM's low ranking celebrity party crowd for getting noticed appears to be what I will call - 'The yacht strut'.MM and Jessica partying on a yachtMMMM's strut has been on display in a variety of places - King Charles' garden party, and even at a public memorial. At King Charles' garden party - TW's strut up the stairs - for comparison - please note that lady in a blue dress and orange shoes to the left - who also has high shoes on and is walking completely normally. Normal walk - versus strange, exaggerated strut in my opinionPriyanka ChopraOther contestants at the 2001 Miss World competition noted her entitled behavior - Priyanka literally dumping her bag on another competitor - and appeared to note that Priyanka seemed to have unearned influence over the outcome of the competition, with some claiming it was rigged. As a side note - an exaggerated walk seems to also be part of Priyanka's general approach - as per this (probably paid for) puff piece about her 'boss lady' walk(!?).Jessica 'I'll show you some Pippa!' MulroneyJessica Mulroney practised her yacht strut well before the TW's and Harold's wedding. She was apparently trying to get the attention that had previously been shown towards Pippa Middleton - who was apparently a quite embarrassed by the attention that was turned towards her athletic figure following her sister Princess Catherine's historic 2011 Wedding to Prince William. In contrast - Mulroney seems to have been deliberately asking startled photographers to take photographs of her backside and also practiced her walk in a tight blue dress, up the steps of the hallowed Saint George's Chapel."Jessica was reportedly asked for a pose by a prominent photographer at a gala event in Toronto, Canada, a month before the Royal Wedding.The New York Post reported a source saying: "She said archly, ‘I’m going to give you some Pippa,’ and turned her back to offer a rear shot.”...“I was kind of shocked, but that’s Jessica for you," Jess's friend reportedly said."On the steps of the sacred chapel Jessica studiously wiggled her butt as she walked up the stairs - the footage is carefully edited - so you only see the front view. You can still see the contrast between the way the others are walking normally, and Mulroney is strangely wiggling her hips.Jessica 'I'll show you some Pippa's' Mulroney's walk was in stark contrast to others who were walking normallyAnyway - what do you think? Is this attention seeking behaviour, or are they just walking completely normally - or naturally have a 'boss lady' walk - whatever that means! ;-) post link: https://ift.tt/FQje5lB author: narcwatchkiwi submitted: November 01, 2023 at 03:52AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit
