I am waiting with interest to find out what happens next, following on from this afternoon's talks at Sandringham.

Poor old Queen. She can't have finished the leftover turkey yet and here she is, embroiled in another crisis.

The Queen is very dignified.
Though they'll use that olive branch to poke her in the arse.
Without offering the branch they'd sell every detail. Though I suspect they will eventually.

MrsBrentford · 13/01/2020 18:21

Kate’s in London, Wills is in Norfolk alone .. or is he.

PlacidPenelope · 13/01/2020 18:21

Oh fgs kirinm, grow up. You steamed in to show us all how clever you are and made yourself look foolish by correcting something that wasn't incorrect. Capitals in texts and e-mails are commonly accepted as the person shouting, and why did you need to emphasise your incorrect assertion anyway? Don't you think we can read?

For information to bold a word or phrase on here you put * either side of the word or phrase with no gaps and to italicise you put ^.

Rinoachicken · 13/01/2020 18:21

As someone said upthread, they seem to have got the British press confused with the British public.

BillieEilish · 13/01/2020 18:22

Well she won't get a warm reception from the public now, will she?

She searches for adoration so won't be back.

I hope they can't trade on the Royal family and country she hates so much
I hope they take her title. Leaving Harry protected and holding at least some of the cards
I hope she discredits herself further in some way and therefore becomes a laughing stock

OxfordCat · 13/01/2020 18:23

And re asking "Where are you from?" - it's othering. This explains if you don't get that.

Well said Separatedswans. Totally agree.

"The Sussexes" is using their titles! Sussex is their title! They wouldn't get to keep Sussex if they weren't keeping the titles (at least for now).

yolofish · 13/01/2020 18:24

Kate's in London oh bollocks of course she is, the kids are at school... ok so she's pacing the kitchen in KP trying to get the lowdown on the meeting! I would imagine she might be more than slightly narked at the extra royal duties just dumped on her and W.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 13/01/2020 18:26

I’ve been watching a lot of footage of her in the past few days and she just comes across as so narcissistic, self absorbed and fake. I’ll be glad to see the back of her to be honest, but feel very sorry for Harry. I don’t think he’s going to be happy. Sadly I do feel it will all be over in a few years, and he’ll come back to the Uk a sadder and wiser man.
I’d love to know what Chelsey Davy thinks of it all.

Lllot5 · 13/01/2020 18:26

@NumbersStation
Haha that made me laugh.
Poor Queen what a bloody shower.

OVienna · 13/01/2020 18:27

@BillieEilish I am actually tempted to post words to that effect on their Instagram page. I feel like they need to hear this, but I suppose what I am saying is I feel like I need to say it. But I don't want to get branded some terrible loon. I do feel very strongly about this though.

Chienloup · 13/01/2020 18:28

Chelsy Davy is probably breathing a sigh of relief that she didn't subject herself to the media and British public to have her every move scrutinised.

TheMustressMhor · 13/01/2020 18:28

Two predictions:

Meghan will announce her second pregnancy within the next three months

and

Meghan will come to the UK on flying visits only in 2020. I am sure that she has got very carefully laid plans with regard to talk shows in the US.

She will be too busy to commit to any royal duties now.

So it's
" OK, off you go love....take care now"
Don't know what all the fuss was about 🤪

scaryteacher · 13/01/2020 18:29

kirinm I'm fully aware of who the majority of our cabinet are. Evidently not!

I wasn't being patronising, but I could be if you like?

Eatcakeandgetfat · 13/01/2020 18:29

Meghan has been accused of making Catherine cry, being told of by the queen, kicking up a fuss about the tiara and lots of other things. Yet non of those things have been brought up when suing the DM, instead it’s the letter she wrote to her father, the avocado thing and the grenfell kitchen being linked to extremists.

At the time I thought it was a load of bollocks. Now I’m starting to believe these things may have happened.

Also if she hadn’t asked her friends to speak to the press no one would ever have been aware of the letter.

scaryteacher · 13/01/2020 18:30

Yes, it's the DM but some interesting bits

BillieEilish · 13/01/2020 18:30

OVienna you should pop that off to various papers right now, you really should.

It shows a deeper, the deepest level of disrespect and I honestly hadn't considered that angle before.

Do it before others beat you to it!

Rinoachicken · 13/01/2020 18:30

I think Chelsey would have been fine - because she never SOUGHT publicity.

The problem I think is when you have someone who actively SEEKS publicity, but then throws the toys out the pram when it’s not exactly what them want and when they want it

MrsBrentford · 13/01/2020 18:30

When is Beatrice’s wedding? Surely she’ll save the pregnancy announcement till then?

NumbersStation · 13/01/2020 18:31

It may be easier for Hazm@t to think that the public hate them because of racism rather than admit they are unpopular now due to their selfserving ways.

Who thought that Samantha Markle was telling the truth when she warned people what MM was like?

As a member of the dinosaur age whose parents and grandparents suffered for their sense of duty through two world wars, may I simply say "God save the Queen"?

Planeplane · 13/01/2020 18:34

My dad is from Hull. It’s a shithole.

I don't know when you last went but I'd give it another chance...it's a genuinely amazing city.
