Does the Royal Family Have a Secret Handshake: a Thomas Markle Hunch

CelebritiesDirt Bag

THOMAS MARKLE UPDATE : Thomas Markle was (surprise!) available for his weekend Sun interview, and he has soundbytes. He calls the Royal Family cult-like–like Scientology–because they are secretive. In his words:

They are cult-like — like Scientology — because they are secretive.

He speculates that they could even have a “secret handshake,” which sounds sinister, and if they did, he would never know. “You cannot ask a question of them,” he says, “as they won’t answer.”

Right, they’re not talking to him.

But yes, they do have secret gestures! Go nuts.


This is a gift: The Sun launched a full-on investigation into why Leonardo DiCaprio keeps dating women under 25 with graphics, charts, photographs and consultations with several psychologists (he’s currently dating a 23-year-old). The verdict: a) it is creepy b) may be linked to a traumatizing rash of bad press he got at age 25 c) maybe he needs validation that he’s hot d) maybe he’s shallow. Any one is a valid choice, except for d, which is correct.


Something to vaguely remember for a few years until we forget again: Glenn Close was in a cult, actually. In an interview with Weekend Magazine, published in the Daily Mail, Close speaks about her childhood til age 22 spent in a “cult-like” religious group Moral Re-Armament, which demands members follow a moral code “where everybody is supposed to say the same things and act in the same way.”
