Meghan Markle Uses Kids for Attention, Colbert Blasts CBS, and Amber Glenn Plays Victim Card After Huge Olympic Mistake
00:35:18
Link Lauren gives USA Olympic figure skater Amber Glenn advice after her devastating error on the rink that landed her in 13th place, why she needs to “lock in” and fixate on the sport, not identity politics. Then Link dives into why Stephen Colbert bit the hand that feeds him by slamming his soon to be former network CBS for allegedly pulling his interview with U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico of Texas and Jimmy Kimmel and the Democrats continuing their trend of tone-deaf extravagant fundraisers. Plus, Link calls out the rising number of trans shooters in the wake of the trans father who recently shot his family members at a hockey game in Rhode Island, Meghan Markle’s pathetic attempts to connect her children with their royal lineage, and more.

Well, my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link. Lauren. Happy hump day. Okay, one thing that we're not over the hump with the Nancy Guthrie investigation, the Winter Olympics. I don't know about you, I'm going to get canceled for saying this. I'm kind of at the end of my rope with both. Okay, I think we're searching for Nancy. Team USA is searching for gold medals. But you've got all these woke non binary people like Amber Glenn going out there and coming in 13th place. So we're going to get into that. We're also going to get into Stephen Colbert. The walls are crumbling at cbs. We have to talk about Harry and Meghan. Megan has a new grift, a new scam. She's still using that daughter Lily bet Diana for attention. And this is also the last thing standing between me and a hair appointment. So I am here on camera with dirty ratty hair under these bright lights and high definition. But without further ado, let's dive in to these hot topics. Well, USA Olympic figure skater Amber Glenn is skating on thin ice. My friends, I've had it up to here. I've had it up to here with the pansexual woke queer figure skater. I'm not sure why her identity matters so much. Well, she came in 13th place. She came in 13th place. Okay. Apparently we put a pox on her. We put a spell on her. She was one of the first people the second she got to Milan at the press conference. Look, I got my press conference microphone. It is so hard as queer people in America right now under this administration. Sweetie, you're on Team USA at the Olympics. You're not oppressed. Okay, let's wake it up Bitch. So you're over there at the Olympics trying to act like you're oppressed. And your life is so hard and you have it so bad. You know what you should have done? You should have spent less time waving the pride flag, okay? The new pride flag. That's really ugly. I don't know what happened. Gays are normally better at design. The gays take no credit for this pride flag, okay? Some, like non binary, transgender, woodworker person designed this. The gays, we have nothing to do with this. But she should have spent more time training, locking in. What she did was she got over there to the Olympic Village. She started talking about politics. She posted videos saying, I'm a woke bitch. You hate to see a woke bitch winning. Well, the woke bitch didn't win, so you might want to take that video down. She's also apparently pansexual or this or that. I just want to see you get on the podium, okay? I want Team USA to win. It doesn't give me pleasure to see you crying and sobbing, and it really hurt my eyes when that makeup started running. So I want to see you get out there and win. I want. I want to see you deliver. But this is part of what I talk to you guys about all the time. And I say this as a gay person who came out quite young. You got to figure out your identity, okay? We don't have time for all this pussy footing around and hemming and hawing. Am I pansexual or polysexual? Am I non, binary? Am I bi? Am I gay, straight? You got to figure out who you are. Check it, put it to the side, and then lock in. Lock the hell in, okay? Because if you're constantly in your head, focused on your personal identity, and you're having anxiety and you don't know who you are, and you can't figure out if you're queer, trans, poly, woke, any of that, you're not going to have the mental stamina and mental capacity to deliver on the ice. You got to get out there and shred it up. Shred it up from top to bottom. And I understand, okay? I'm like, the least athletic person on planet Earth. I am the least athletic person you will ever meet. But what I lack in sports knowledge, I understand about sociology, human behavior, and I know about these woke kind of folks like Amber Glenn, who are more focused on identity politics. I'm not denying she's not talented. She landed that triple axel. Great. Good for you. Great. But then you dropped the ball when you needed To. And I think I also saw that earlier in the day she was apparently getting videos from Madonna and watching videos from Madonna that never used to happen at the Olympics. Get off your phones. Stop making TikTok. Stop talking to Madonna. Stop saying you're oppressed as a queer person in America. Lock in, Lock in, okay? That is the lesson for the day, okay? Before you walk into a room, you lock in and you get it done. And if I see you on the podium with a gold, silver or bronze medal, then maybe I'll be interested in what you have to say. But 13th place, 13th place, we don't want to hear from that. Okay? 13th place, you don't get to go out there and run your mouth for 13 place. Okay, let's, let's be honest now. 13th place is not anything to write home about. And I'm sure she is sad. I can't imagine she's in pain and she's hurting and she's sad. Although she was already up this morning joking about it. But I just think this batch of Team USA athletes, I have such respect for them. They're incredible ones. I'd say 95% are incredible. But I think Team USA needs to do a better job of vetting because when people have a history of major anxiety and grappling with their identity, when you put them in a pressure cooker like the Olympics on camera with the crowds and the chaos, they might not have the mental stamina. And psychologists will tell you people who are struggling with their identity and their pan and their this, and they're very wrapped up in it, talking about how it's hard being queer, they're just not going to have the wherewithal to do what they need to do in their 9 to 5 job or if their job happens to be something high stakes like this. So, Amber Glenn, we do wish you well. We do wish you well, sweetheart. Cheers. Cheers to you with my little. Hey, look how healthy I am. I'm drinking like a little smoothie. But we cheers you, Amber Glenn, and we wish you well. You're here, you're queer, but we wish you would have delivered on the ice. So see you next year.

The story has taken the Internet by storm because Stephen Colbert, I think he's been caught in a lie. He would not say it's a lie. I think it's a lie. Let me tell you what happened. So Stephen Colbert had Texas Senate candidate James Talarico on his show for a long interview. Is very produced. It was a long segment, long conversation. Obviously, James Talarico is a Democrat, very liberal, very blue. Stephen Colbert is a liberal partisan hack. So he has James Talarico on the show. Apparently, according to our sources, he was told by cbs, hey, according to the rules of the fcc, right, because of these election rules and these equal time rules, if you have James on, you also have to have Jasmine Crockett on, who is also running for Senate in Texas. So then apparently Stephen Colbert said, you know what, I don't want to have Jasmine Crockett on. So I'm just going to air the James talarico interview on YouTube. But because Stephen Colbert never misses an opportunity to blame President Trump for all of his problems, he went out there on camera and basically tried to blame President Trump. He doesn't want to admit that he just didn't want to talk to Jasmine Crockett. And we have a clip from the show. I want to take a look at this.

Not one of my guests tonight, that's Texas State Representative James Tallarico. He was supposed to be here. But we were told in no uncertain terms by our network's lawyers who called us directly that we could not have him on the broadcast. Then I was told in some uncertain terms that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on. And because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this. Let's talk about this. I am going to interview James Talarico tonight, but it's not going to be on the Late Show. It's going to be on The Late Show's YouTube page. The network says I can't give you URL or a QR code, but I promise you, if you go to our YouTube page, you'll find it.
- [09:12]

So obviously, Stephen Colbert is trying to blame Barry Weiss, cbs, the powers that be, for not airing this James Talarico interview. He just didn't want to talk to Jasmine Crockett. I don't blame you. Who wants to talk to Ms. Jasmine Crackalack, a Crockett with all her fake accents and her fake stories. And there's no reason to even entertain Jasmine Crockett's race for Senate in Texas, right? No one should be talking to Jasmine Crockett. There's nothing there unless you want the entertainment value. But he won't say that, right? Because if he goes out and he says, look, I just didn't want to interview Jasmine Crockett to do the equal opportunity laws, he will get canceled by his own people. These liberals on the left will say, you're being unfair to a woman of color, a black, strong, powerful woman. You're not being fair to her. So Stephen Colbert has to create this narrative that he's this underdog, that he's being oppressed. But we actually have a statement from CBS basically saying what Stephen Colbert is out there saying is a lie. So here's the statement. The Late show was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with James Talarico. The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal time rule for two other candidates, including Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled. The Late show decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on air promotion, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, rather than potentially providing equal time options. Now, this whole stunt, okay, has apparently already raised $2 million for Talarico's campaign in 24 hours. So basically, these liberals, they don't care if it's a lie. They don't care if it's propaganda. They just want someone to feel like, oh, you're the underdog. You're being oppressed by President Trump and the FCC and Brendan Carr. Brendan Carr had nothing to do with this. President Trump had nothing to do with this. The network says we don't have anything to do with it either. Stephen Colbert decided not to air an interview. He didn't want to give Jasmine Crockett equal time. If he came out there and said that, I would have more respect for him. But Stephen Colbert does not have good instincts. As we learned recently. His show, his show is running a 40 million, $40 million deficit. Okay? There's a reason I think his show is ending in May. It's coming to an end. So we've got about three months left of even seeing Stephen Colbert. But I think mainstream media in general is really struggling to find their place, right, because we're all on our phones, we're on YouTube, we're on TikTok, we're on Instagram. In order to turn on the TV and really tune into a mainstream media program, it has to be very compelling. It has to be interesting. There has to be a reason. It has to be appointment viewing. I just don't think Stephen Colbert is that. And I know for me, right, if I were running a business and we had a $40 deficit, a 40 cent deficit, the business would shutter, right? But because Stephen Colbert is part of this sort of liberal elite, he's been able to run a show with a $40 million dollar deficit with no penalty. For some reason, we think we should even listen to this guy who's running $40 million into the ground. So Stephen Colbert, go back to the drawing board. It'll be interesting to see now that there's backlash against him, will he call Jasmine Crockett up and say, honey, come over and do an interview? It'll be interesting, but we'll have to wait and see what happens. But I want to move on to another topic. Here's the truth.

Well, speaking of partisan hack, late night host, we have to talk about Jimmy Kimmel. Okay, Jimmy Kimmel, he couches himself as this sort of bipartisan comedian. He's just going to speak the truth. He's going to welcome everybody. We just found out last night. Okay, this is on the New York Post. He is hosting fundraisers for the Democrats where tickets, I believe, start at $25,000. Let me give you the information. So he's going to headline a pricey Los Angeles fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Guests must spend up to $25,000 to attend the event in March. Now, there are higher price tickets for $44,000 for the Leader Circle and $310,000 for the Jeffries 300 level. So he is the night's special guest just below Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. So when you're hosting fundraisers with Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, and you're raising money for the Democrats, I don't think you're a bipartisan late night comedian. I think Jimmy Kimmel, that train has left the station. What's also interesting to me, remember when Jimmy Kimmel was canceled for like three days and he acted like it was the worst thing that had ever happened to him in his life? I mean, he acted like he was censored, like his First Amendment was violated. They violated his free speech. He was canceled for three days because he made some off color comments about Charlie Kirk, who wasn't respectful about Charlie Kirk's assassination and some other things. And he was put on pause for three days. Right. Well, now, now that he's hosting fundraisers for the Democrats, we see exactly where his political leanings lie. Okay? After the whole Charlie Kirk fiasco, when he was crying on camera, he basically said, I want to welcome everyone on the show. I want this to be an open space for people on the left and the right in the middle. That's not what happened, okay? Because you're hosting fundraisers with Nancy Pelosi, also Democrats. If you're a Democrat watching this, to the three Democrats who are watching the show, why are you still hosting fundraisers with Nancy Pelosi? I don't understand what you guys think Nancy Pelosi brings to the table. It's sort of like people are still booking Hillary Clinton to give speeches. And I think the Democrats are like, no, don't listen to Hillary Clinton. Like, my advice to the Democrats, you gotta let go of Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, all of these elite folks. I also think if you're going to be the party of the people, right, you can't host celebrity fundraisers where tickets go for $300,000, okay? It's hard to say we're the party of the working class, the forgotten men and women of this country, and then we're going to host a fundraiser where you have to give $300,000 to be at a certain level in a certain tier, right? And folks in the right, they host big fundraisers, but they don't put any, you know, airs about it. They don't lie about it. It's these folks on the left who are like, we're for you. They're for themselves, but we're for you. We're down and we're for the forgotten men in this country. And then they host a fundraiser where you have to pay $300,000. So I just wish they would be more honest. I think if Jimmy Kimmel came out and said, look, I have Trump derangement syndrome. I hate Republicans. I want to destroy Republicans. I don't have space for them on my show. People would be like, you know what? Even if you're a partisan hack, we respect you for being honest. But Jimmy Kimmel cannot do that. And I'm not sure we'll even be talking about Jimmy Kimmel in five years, because the ratings continue to go down for ABC and all of these networks. Because we've seen it before, we've heard it before. The jokes aren't funny. You know, Jimmy Kimmel, he tries to act like he's the most woke and progressive person. Then you find pictures of him in blackface, right? From just a few years ago, well past when blackface was around. Don't want to get canceled. But no, Jimmy Kimmel. You see him now. He tries to act like he's this very woke, progressive guy. I think they need to get back to the drawing board, make the show funny, make the show entertaining, and just be honest. Tell us that you're a partisan hack, and we will accept that. Now we have to talk about the trans shooter in Rhode Island. Okay. This man's name is Robert Dorgan, and he's a trans father who shot his wife, three kids, and a family friend in the stands at a high school hockey tournament on Monday. Now, the mainstream media is very busy covering Nancy Guthrie. The mainstream media has not really covered the story at all, not to the extent it needs to be covered. And this is one of those weeks where I am very conflicted being a part of the LGBT right. There's a reason I say I don't really feel like I'm a part of that LGBT mainstream community. I'm my own person. I. I'm gay. I have common sense. It's not the most important thing about me. When I see this person say that they are a woman and they basically look like a linebacker in a dress, that is where I'm not going to take you seriously. I also think we need to have a real conversation about the fact that there are many trans folks because of the gender dysphoria and the chemical imbalances. They have mental health issues. Right. It doesn't make me a villain, because I'm pointing this out. There are underlying mental health issues when you are transgender. Right. Gender dysphoria is a mental health issue. Doesn't mean I'm vilifying every trans person. That's not what I'm saying. But we've seen so many trans shooters recently. I mean, look at the Tumblr Ridge shooting. That was transgender. The Annunciation Catholic Church shooter, trans. Nashville Christian shooter, trans. Lakewood Church, Colorado Springs, non binary. Denver shooter, trans. Aberdeen shooter, trans. Charlie Kirk's assassin, Tyler Robinson. He had, like, a furry obsession and was living with his trans lover, allegedly. So we see more and more and more violence coming from trans people. And if trans people are only supposed to be a small fraction of the population and we're told, why are you so concerned with the trans community? Why are you so concerned with this small fraction of the population? Well, I just read you a list of so many shooters who are trans, and it's like, maybe we need to get to a point where we have a conversation of if you're being injected with hormones, cross sex hormones, you're struggling with your identity. Gender dysphoria. Maybe you shouldn't, maybe you shouldn't have access to firearms or guns. Right. If there's a major mental illness there. But let me read you a little bit more. So the shooter, of course, 56 year old Robert Dorgan, who also went by Roberta Esposito, died of a self inflicted gunshot wound. The gunman was first slowed down by a good Samaritan who disarmed the shooter. But the shooter had more than one gun on him. In a February 15 response to a post calling openly trans congresswoman Sarah McBride a man, Dorgan the killer wrote, keep bashing us but do not wonder why we go berserk. So we're going to continue to see a rise in trans violence. I think something we're going to have to talk about more this year is a rise and just basically liberal left wing political extremism in general. I see it in my comments. I get messages every day on X. People say, oh, you need to die or you need to be shot. Republicans need to be shot. And I keep all screenshots and records of all of this. But we're in a, in an era now politics where the Democrats who say they want free speech and open debate, they actually don't. They want to destroy you. If you are a Republican, if you're maga, if you're independent, they want to shoot you. And we've seen polls recently where there are many liberals who believe that political extremism is justified. Right? They believe the assassination attempts on President Trump's life were justified. Charlie Kirk, that was justified. They think they are pushing forth a cause in this country. Right. There is a big, big mental illness there. And so I think unfortunately we're going to see more left wing political extremism. And what's so ironic to me is that the Democrats on the left love to call Republicans fascist Nazis, Hitler, threats to democracy. Every time we turn on the news, who's picking up a gun and shooting people? The Democrats? Left wing extremists. Every time you look on the news, trans shooter. So stop telling us that we're threats to democracy when you're picking up guns and trying to shoot us and kill us. So that's my lesson for the day. We'll be monitoring this story, but the mainstream media is just so ensconced with Nancy Guthrie. And then we have a list here of all the networks, CNN and others who as far as we can tell, have not even referred to the trans shooter as trans. Now we can put the pictures back up. Anybody can see that this is a man, okay? This is not someone who is even trying to look feminine or look like a woman. Right? If you were in line at Walmart and this person was in front of you, you would know by all accounts that this was a man. Okay? This was a man, man, man, okay? But a lot of these networks, they're so scared to admit, hey, the shooter was trans, that they're just, you know, sweeping this under the rug. But anybody with eyes can tell that this is not a woman, okay? What's that song? Was it kiss or Aerosmith? Dude looks like a lady. You know, this dude looks like a lady. That is appropriate here. But let's move on to another quick update. I want to move on to this update about Nancy Guthrie. We don't have a lot to say, and as you guys know, I'm kind of at my wits end for now with the Nancy Guthrie story. I have the utmost sympathy for Savannah, her family. I can't imagine what they're going through living in limbo. I think we've all accepted now Nancy Guthrie is probably not coming home. And I think maybe Savannah has started the grieving process. But there are folks now coming out and criticizing the way this has been handled. Obviously, we're not crime experts. We're Monday morning quarterbacking. But I do think they could have done things a little differently in the beginning. I think the reward was way too low for information. I think we're now starting to get the cameras from other parts of the house. But we're coming into the fourth week here. And so I think the public's interest in this is waning. It doesn't mean we're heartless. It doesn't mean we don't have sympathy for the entire family. But there's so many other women and children and men to who get abducted and kidnapped every year. And they aren't given all of this attention, right? They aren't given the spotlight. They don't have $40 million, allegedly, like Savannah Guthrie. And so while we're monitoring this story and they're trying to recover DNA and running the DNA through different databases and yada, yada, yada, we don't have much to say. There is no update. I mean, they don't have any huge leads that we know of as now, as of right now. And so I think whoever did this is probably multiple people. They could be in Mexico. They could be long gone. I think there's an opportunity, hey, maybe in a couple months, couple weeks, they will find something and crack the case. But as of now, with the reward the way it is, nobody is coming forward and identifying the man on the nest camera. So we wish Savannah Guthrie's family well. May Nancy Guthrie rest in peace. If she has left us, if she has passed on. But nobody's coming forward to recognize this man. They said this morning they believe he now has a pinky ring. Someone saw that he has a pinky ring. I mean, we're really scraping here. We're scraping here to try and find whoever did this. I believe, you know, if we can find Osama bin Laden in like, Abbottabad, Pakistan, you know what I'm saying? Fifteen years ago, we can probably find this person. I'm not sure. We haven't yet. I'm sure the FBI is looking. We have probably the most productive FBI we've ever had. They're very successful. But there's something about this case that's not adding up. And then yesterday I heard an excerpt from Savannah Guthrie's audiobook that came out last year, and Megan Kelly played it. It's been all over social media. The family used to do these annual kidnappings as a joke where each summer, apparently in Arizona, cousin Terry would come from Phoenix and was sort of like kidnap family members and they call from a payphone. It was all supposed to be funny. I've never heard of a family that does like the annual kidnapping. Okay, in my family, we don't do an annual kidnapping. But it'll be interesting to see what happens here. It could be a very, very bizarre coincidence or there could be something there. We don't. Debt can feel like everything is piling up.

Well, it's time for a royal update. That little huckster over in Montecito, Meghan Markle. Markle. She is still grifting off of Princess Diana. So Princess Diana, she died in 1997 in a horrific car crash in a tunnel in Paris. For some reason, Meghan Markle, who's never met her, doesn't know her, really has no connection to her besides her husband. She's decided to continue to use Princess Diana's name for clout. And this is my opinion and my theory, because as we've seen, People magazine gives Meghan Markle nothing but positive attention, right? When Meghan Markle has something she wants to get out there and get praise and attention, it always ends up in People magazine. It's very, very good pr. Well, Megan, she must have called her friends over at People because there's a new headline that says new photo of Princess Lilibet hints that she's inherited Grandma. Princess Diana's love of this hobby. Now, People magazine wrote the passion for ballet goes back further in the family line to one of Lily's royal namesakes, Princess Diana. Harry's late mother took ballet classes as a young girl and frequently attended performances at the National Ballet in London. So it's great that the little girl, Lily bet is taking ballet classes and she's doing ballet. So many girls I knew danced growing up. I mean, I used to do hip hop dance and break it down and twerk it and shake it when I was 8 years old. So I'm happy that she's doing ballerina classes and she's doing all this ballet. It doesn't mean that it has anything to do with Princess Diana. Like, she's following in Princess Diana's footsteps because Princess Diana used to do ballet back in the day. None of this is even making sense to me, but this feels very Kris Jenner esque, right? Kris Jenner, the devil works hard, but she works harder. You can see the Kardashians, whether it's Northwest or all the young kids, they're trying to bring up the next generation of breadwinners and moneymakers. I think Meghan Markle really, really, really wants to tie her kids to the royal family. So what does she do? She brings Princess Diana into it. She posts pictures where her kids are, like, reaching at portraits of Diana in the household. Right. She's always trying to bring Diana into it. She posted some pictures also over Valentine's of Lily Bet and Harry. She wasn't going to miss an opportunity, you know, to post them and give a little sneak peek. So she once said that she wanted privacy and she wanted her kids to be out of the limelight. Now the only person that could have gotten this story about the ballerina and the ballet is Meghan Markle. Right. These kids are kept so insulated and their lives are so private. Who would have gone to People magazine and said, Lily Bettio, Princess Lily Bat is following in Diana's footsteps by doing ballet. It just wouldn't happen, right. If it didn't come from Meghan Markle. And so I think she's going the Kris Jenner Kim Kardashian route. We know Meghan Markle is friends with Kris Jenner. I think she's going that route because she knows that she has dried up. Okay. There's really no interest for Meghan Markle in the industry. The Netflix deal is done. Those jams and jellies tastes like crap. So I think she's now trying to rear this next generation and try to grift and sort of use them as her next, you know, money makers and bread winners. I have to point out, you guys, I hate to say it, Archie and Lily Bet, they're really not royal in my opinion. Okay. I'm really not sure why they're still in the line of succession. They haven't been in the uk. Lily bet. I don't think she's ever once stepped foot in the uk, this little girl. So to say that she's following in Diana's footsteps when she's never been to London, she's never met her in laws. I mean, she's never met George, Charlotte, Louis, William, Catherine. You're not really part of the royal family, you know what I'm saying? And you can't have it both ways in life. Every family has disagreements and arguments, but they always go to the press. We saw that with Oprah accusing the family of racism. We saw it in the book with Prince Harry with Spare. We'll get to that in a second. You can't have it both ways. You can't be in and out. You're either in the Royal family or you're out. So I'm not sure why Archie and Lilibet are still in line for the throne to begin with. If y' all aren't in London, you're not in the uk. You have nothing to do with it. You don't even know that you're royalty. Why should you take someone's line in succession? You clearly don't have respect for the monarchy, the institution and the work that they do. But this is Meghan Markle. I mean, Meghan Markle, let's not forget. Let's not forget, you guys. She's recreated how many of Diana's outfits. She recreates Diana's outfits. She allegedly wears her perfume. I think she uses this sort of strong mommy card over Prince Harry. But Prince Harry, all right, he's not off the hook either. He's allowed Megan to come in and control his life and do all of this right. He is culpable. He is a man with autonomy here. But it's just very interesting to see Meghan Markle still using Diana for cloud when she never met the woman once. Now, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, we also know that they have a loose relationship with the truth. They will spin and twist any story to make a quick buck. Okay? These are some low down, dirty hucksters, right? They will do anything for a dollar. I think we're one week away from Meghan Markle doing only fans. I think after the Netflix deal, I think we're going to see an only fans. You know, she's been hanging out with the Kardashians. I think we might see a tape. Might see, you know, late night Triple X tape soon. But there's a new biography out called William and the Intimate Inside Story by Russell Myers. And in this book, the author writes that Prince Harry's claims that his brother, Prince William, physically assaulted him were massively overblown. So basically, the Cliff Notes are Prince William and Prince Harry got into this argument. They apparently ended up wrestling on the floor. Apparently some dishes were broken. And this is all in Prince Harry's book Spare. As you guys know, I read that book back to front, annotated. I have my PhD in spare. I mean, I was there at Barnes and Noble in January 2023 when that book came out, as soon as they opened the doors. So I know of what I speak. In this book, Prince Harry wrote about intimate arguments he had with his brother. I have a brother. I couldn't imagine going on camera, and I'm not royalty. Who am I? I couldn't imagine even going on camera and talking about an argument I had with a family member. I don't care if we are at major odds with each other, if we have a blood feud. You don't take your personal arguments out there, right? Those stay in the home. You don't go and air your dirty laundry in book deals and Oprah interviews. But Prince Harry basically claimed that his brother William attacked him and assaulted him, which is interesting because Prince Harry seems the one who's always more agitated and amped up and more reactive. So it's very interesting. But Harry claimed that during the incident, William grabbed him by the collar, knocked him to the floor, which ripped his necklace and caused a dog bowl that Harry landed on to crack under his back. I forgot about the dog bowl. However, the biography claims it was a cheap shot from Harry to present such an argument that he was assaulted. Tensions were running very high. And yes, there were certainly crosswords exchanged that, on reflection, were regrettable. But Prince William is adamant there was no physical violence. So I'm going with Prince William on this one. I don't even think that this was some huge, big blowout, UFC fight, Conor McGregor, you know what I'm saying? I just don't see it happening in the cottage over in London at the. At the palace. So I think Prince Harry. I don't know if it's some form of mental illness. I don't know if it's something from his childhood with the trauma. I don't know if it's Meghan Markle in there twisting the gears a bit. He seems to have a warped sense of reality, and the family has alluded to this. I mean, Prince Harry, he acts like he was living in this gilded cage and his life was terrible and he just needed Meghan Markle to come along and open his eyes. And he didn't know how bad he had it in the royal family until she came along and lifted the veil and gave him the strength to leave. I think all of that is revisionist history. I just not buying any of that is a believable narrative. I mean, Prince Harry, he was in the military, I believe, is very independent person, had the Invictus Games, traveled all around the world, went to work in Africa. For him to say that he was just sort of trapped and he couldn't think for himself and he was brainwashed and he couldn't get out of the family. It just isn't tracking for me. It isn't tracking for me. And let's say it is true. Do you then go out there and air the family's dirty laundry? I don't like that either. And so I think Prince Harry and Meghan Markle the. And their cloud is down. They need the next generation of Archie and Lily Bet to come up so they can grift and use them for clout and clicks. I think we will see. Oh, I bet you we will see. Lily Bet involved in her mother's brand at some point. Maybe a children's clothing line. Maybe Lily Bets and an ad campaign for. As ever, I think she will use the daughter. Maybe it's a mother daughter charity, but she's going to get Princess Lily Bet in there. I mean, even naming her Lily Bet Diana is the most bizarre thing. It's like the most desperate reach. Lily Bet was the late queen's nickname that close, close, close family called her. Okay, Diana, obviously we know Princess Diana. So what did Meghan Markle do? She really wanted her little girl to be tied to the royals and to use the royal name forever. So she named her Lily Bet Diana. Okay. It's like if you're the heir to like McDonald's and you name yourself like, like Big Mac McGriddle. You know what I'm saying? Or it's like if you're the air. It's like, like if you, if you are part of the McDonald's family and you're like Big Mac McGriddle apple pie McDonald III like to name your daughter Lily Bet Diana is just so on the nose and so desperate to keep your daughter in the conversation. Like Lily Bet never met the queen, obviously never met Diana, but she's never stepped foot in the uk. She's never even been to London. And I don't even think Diana would have liked Meghan Markle. She would have spotted her coming a thousand miles away. So here are we'll be keeping track of this. I think the walls are starting to crumble and close in on Harry and Megan. And when people lose public attention, if you're used to getting a volume of attention and it goes away, it does something. I've seen it happen to celebrities and public figures all the time. You start to get almost like manic and crazed and what can we do to get attention next and where can we go to get photographed? And we're starting to see that more them going out and getting photographed in a Kardashian kind of way. So I think they're going to get more desperate. And the walls are closing in for Harry and Megan. Well, my friends, thank you so much for tuning into Spot on with Link Lauren. We'll be back on Monday, but you can also find this on social media.
