I don’t have children. Not by choice. My body decided it would not allow me to carry any pregnancy to term, so I have been through multiple miscarriages. This Mother’s Day, I am celebrating anyway for the children I lost. ❤️
For everyone who’s been following my mom’s cancer journey, I wanted to let you know she passed away yesterday evening in Philadelphia. She will truly be missed. ❤️
I always loved this portrait of Diana, Princess of Wales, by

. From the beginning, the only reason I was interested in the British royal family was Diana. Now, I'm only interested in Harry, Meghan, and their children.
Happy fourth Anniversary to Harry & Meghan - yes, my mom still refers to them as her “other children”. May they have many more joyous anniversaries together.
#HappyAnniversaryHarryandMeghan
For everyone who has been following my mom’s cancer journey, she is now in her end of life phase. The hospice nurse and social worker say that we should prepare ourselves for the inevitable. Could be a few days or a few weeks. 🙁
Cancer scan results arrived this afternoon: cancer-free. 😀❤️Doctor will remove two small tumors from my right leg. Initial analysis says they’re benign but we’ll get rid of them anyway. Removal scheduled for when I am back from Italy.
Yes, I am looking forward to watching this

. I'm glad that they can tell their side of the story. The UK tabloids have already spent enough time telling what they claim is the truth. Let's hear it straight from the sources.
"There's leaking. . . but also the planting of stories. It's a dirty game."
@Netflix
have released the first full trailer for Harry & Meghan, the Sussexes' explosive new docuseries. The first three episodes will drop on Thursday, the second half of the series is out December 15.
These UK authors getting upset about Meghan writing a children’s book... but they don’t say a word about Fergie or Princess Michael of Kent “occupying shelf space” that others authors “deserve”? So only white royal authors deserve shelf space then?

White man outside my local café bitching about how immigrants are inferior in intelligence to ethnic Swedes. Then he can’t even figure out how to open the door to the café. I open it no problem and say, “Must be my superior immigrant intellect.” He stammers an apology. 😉
@Phil_Lewis_
This just sounds like some lawyer convinced her to say she was confused. If you can’t use it on skin, you can’t use it on hair. I feel sorry for her but this ridiculous.
To celebrate Meghan’s 40th birthday, I offer four 40-minute online brainstorming sessions to 4 women writers who have writer’s block or just want to test story ideas. DM me if you’re interested. 🌞

When Swedish men think they can jump the queue for Business Class and don’t have a Business Class ticket. Guy just had a conniption that I was allowed to board before him. Swiss Air agent at gate said: “Sir, you have an Economy Saver ticket. She has a Business Class ticket.” 😁
The Swede and I bought an apartment in Malmö today. We saw it yesterday, bid on it last night, bid was accepted by seller this morning and we signed contracts this afternoon. Moving to Malmö in July! ❤️

@MetalBlonde
Telling me a cake is damp is telling me not to eat it. Damp reminds me of the basement of a building I used to live in. I hated going to the laundry room there since there were always nasty water bugs skittering about. And the smell... So yeah... I’d rather see moist than damp.
@royal_suitor
It’s funny how they claim they’re “sick to death” of Harry and Meghan… but they won’t stop writing negative stories with unsubstantiated claims and accusations in them. Why not focus on Willie if he’s so important and shouldn’t be overshadowed?
Yes! Too many
@romancewriters
members forget that Vivian Stephens is who started it all. She should be at the top of that mountain - not some NWL "ally" who then has no problem treating diversity and inclusion like a "trend" or a nuisance when it suits her.
I have been dealing with depression and grief issues since 2012, and trying to act like everything’s okay. And then my brother died in 2018 and everything fell apart. And that’s when therapy really helped me.
#TheMeYouCantSee
When my mom sees this, she’ll be over the moon. She calls Meghan her other daughter, Harry her secon-face son-in-law and Archie her new grandson. This is cuteness overload! ❤️
Today, someone who has only been with her partner for two years and married six months tried to tell me the secrets to a happy marriage. After her monologue, she asked me how long I’d been married. I said, “We’ve been together 29 years and married 23 years.” She left me alone. 😆
@TheMereDish
I find it interesting that Sarah vine expects Meghan to stop living her life and be at Kate’s side extending empathy and what not when Kate aided and abetted a smear campaign against Meghan that is still ongoing. Unbelievable.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms of all kinds – including stepmoms, foster moms, fur baby moms, moms who lost children, wanted to be moms but couldn’t be, and all the mom figures in our lives.
@AgathedeLili
From the moment it became obvious that Diana was more popular and not willing to accept Camilla as a third person in her marriage, they began trying to destroy her.
So I did it... applied for a Creative Director position. Who knows if they will offer it to me, but I feel like I am qualified for it and I am ready to claim my spot at the god damn table.
@TudorChick1501
Very true. The first time I heard someone called Harry referred to as Haz when I was in the UK, I thought they were talking about someone else. I used to be a hugger – but men in Sweden misinterpret it, so I only hug my female friends :) But yeah, we Americans tend to be huggers.
My brother, who passed away the day before my birthday in 2019, would have celebrated his birthday on November 5. And I keep having disturbing dreams about him. I miss him. He was the one of the few people in my family who really got me.
For everyone who knows me, my mom has decided to stop her cancer treatments. They are not working. The doctors have tried everything. My mom has decided to go into hospice. And I respect her decison. ♥️
@isexton
The whole tour is so misguided. They’re forcing themselves on Caribbean nations and expecting these countries to pay for it. It’s their tour so the BRF should pay for it. And it’s a waste of time and money since no one really wants them to visit.
@KaiseratCB
Remember when that charity called her out for not visiting them for seven years? And she was supposed to be their patron? What kind of patron ignores a charity for several years…? Doesn’t sound like doing your homework to me. 🤷🏾♀️
@brokeymcpoverty
When I first moved to Sweden, my Swedish husband (who was still just my boyfriend then) stood up for me when Nazi skinheads started yelling racial slurs at me. I thought I’d have to stand up for myself. It was what I was used to. But he’s always stood up for me.
Watching the review of the year for the Swedish royal family. Princess Sofia is talking about why she has been volunteering at a hospital in Stockholm during COVID. Imagine if Kate had actually done something like that rather than that ridiculous royal train tour.

@lovettejallow
My Swede nearly clocked a candy salesperson who seemed to take pleasure in offering me “n*ggerballs” - even back in the early 90s it was considered unacceptable to call them that… but there’s always some asshat who thinks not.
@SholaMos1
@VictoriaLIVE
It's insane that we have to keep explaining over and over again. The people who claim they don't understand simply DON'T WANT TO understand. They know exactly what the problem is and simply choose to be blind to it. Or profit from it and want the status quo.
Who is Prince William to "advise" Prince Harry about lust and who to marry when he could barely commit to Kate? It took multiple break-ups and women saying they didn't want the hassle...?
Prince William infuriated Prince Harry when he told his younger brother he should move slowly in his relationship with Meghan Markle, fearing that he was being "blindsided by lust," a new book on the Windsors says
@JJMcAvoy
They truly are. And the so-called journalists who do so just to get clicks… it’s disgusting that this is the only way they can think of to pay bills. Dehumanizing someone, using racist and misogynistic tropes and slurs to incite even more racist attacks.
@JJMcAvoy
@yoon_strawberry
I agree, JJ. That’s probably why the men in suits at the palace keep trying to diminish him and Meghan (and they keep failing).

Watched it last night. I love the way it ended. It leaves room for us to think and discuss it rather than wrapping everything up with a tidy little bow.

. Her favorite song was “I Say a Little Prayer” followed by “Do You Know the Way to San Jose”. The Swede is making a playlist to remind of all the good times with my mom. We both loved her dearly. ❤️
@michellegayle1
The BRF cut off their nose to spite their face since they were too envious and stupid to see the value in a popular second son and wife who could pull them into the modern age.

Last week wasn’t all good times. Found out my mom has lung cancer. Doctors say they caught it early enough to treat. Now looking for airline tickets to head to US for a few weeks and trying to figure out which COVID test I need to take before departing.
@GMA
@theroyaleditor
I still do NOT understand why the Home Office has a problem with Prince Harry paying for his own security. He's NOT asking for UK taxpayers to fund his security. He's fighting for the right to pay for his own (and his family's) security.
It’s interesting how the UK media pay lip service to
#MentalHealthAwareness
and then ridicule Harry for talking about what he’s learned and put into practice thanks to therapy and getting the help he needed.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan attend National Service of Thanksgiving for Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee, marking the first time the couple has appeared publicly with Britain's royal family since stepping down from their senior royal roles.
@scobie
@YahooNewsUK
I read Diana: In Her Own Words when it first came out. *Nothing* from the Panorama interview was shocking – we’d already learned it in the book. The only reason it’s being “canceled” is for the “rehab” of Camilla and William wanting us to forget about his own affair scandals.
@oneandonlybjg
@qsteph
I am still pissed that so many people believe that Chris shouldn’t have to apologize or use the excuse that it’s just comedy. But words - just like actions - have consequences. And the slap was the consequence of his constant targeting of Jada.
@KaiseratCB
If Camilla had such 'a strong sense of family,' she would've made sure Harry felt he was always welcome rather than turning his room into her walk-in closet. Much like my own sister knowingly took over the room I always use when I come to visit rather than taking another room.
Spoke to my mom. She was very happy to finish her radiation treatments. She was tired but very pleased that her oncologist said that results are looking very good. ❤️
@CariadTweeter
@TudorChick1501
Her being accused of bullying reminds me of when I was accused of bullying by a mediocre white man at previous job. Why was I accused of bullying? I said “no” to him and demanded that he respect me in my capacity as a senior creative. And he didn’t like it.
@PaganTrelawney
It’s amazing that they focus so much on three episodes of a docuseries rather than the controversial coal mine being opened in northern England or calling out MPs who don’t support providing schoolchildren with free meals, etc or corruption within the government…
@dulcesloan
I don’t have fibroids but I started taking extra vitamin D supplements a few years ago, switched to a more Mediterranean diet, stopped using relaxers around 15-20 years ago, and left a high stress work environment. Hoping this is what keeps me healthy.
@Jasamgurlie
It’s shameful that her cousin would share these photos with one of the tabloids Harry & Meghan have made clear they want nothing to do with.
Today, I was in the supermarket and someone came up to me and asked me, "Are you Kim Golden, the writer?" That's never happened before...and that it happened in the tiny town I live in and not when I was in Stockholm and far more active in writing events is pretty amazing. :)
@Jasamgurlie
Whenever I see the “bullying” claims, I am reminded of when I was accused by an incompetent white man of being a bully for standing up for myself when *he* bullied me and another Black colleague. His claim was BS but was used against me since apparently I am scary..
