Royal style & gossip: strawberries, serves and sartorial splendour - anyone for tennis?

Yes, Omid is Meghan's Mouthpiece. He is tied strongly to Jessica Mulroney.

I think it HIGHLY unlikely that Harry would choose Lorraine Schwartz, jeweller to the A Listers attending the Oscars and the Golden Globes but with little UK profile, to do a "suprise" eternity ring. I find it very hard to believe her name would be on the tip of his tongue. Or that he even bloody knew who she was!

Oh dear Jaime I haven't even opened the airing cupboard today, but frankly I'm no good in this heat anyway....it's too hot for getting hot with Hottie!

Hmm, I call bullshit.

Harry had the the eternity ring made, not in dispute.

However, in order for him to have had Meghan's ring reset he would have needed to take it off her. Surely she'd be curious as to why?

I wonder who did the original engagement ring?
Perhaps Lorraine Schwartz used the gold from the engagement ring band to make the eternity ring.

Anyway, the story has now been spun.

Course it’s bullshit, but Harry has obviously agreed to the story.

Meghan & Harry are definitely upping their US profile.
I now zilch about baseball but I’ve heard of the Yankees and the Redsox. Must have been quite the coup to get them to London for Invictus.

Look at Justin Trudeau gazing at Max!
( I love her hair!)

Love calling bullshit on that story. The heavy PR is a bit much, it’s a lot of content. I follow their IG but the captions often have spelling mistakes, that PR lady needs to both chill and proof read. They don’t need all the PR anyway, not sure why Scobie and the US lady are so pushy - agree on them trying to break America

Maaaaaaaxxx! She’s just super

Do H&M have a private secretary?
Their American pr seems very at odds with the style of other RF advisers.

American approach: getting shit done vs Being pushy

The ring story is definitely bullshit.

The Queen looking great in her Saltire colors for the Scottish Parliament. I watched the video. Nicola Sturgeon did a little bow to the Queen and to Prince Charles. It seemed much more appropriate than Prime Minister May's full sweep.

She looks very lovely. Not mad on the belt of the dress and it's tight over her bust but if she's breastfeeding then that's to be expected.

Oops, just posted this on an anti-H&M thread by accident! Anyway, I found the photo quite amusing.

That ring story is hilariously bullshit. They've not even tried to make it sound believable. I can't tell if they just assume we'll believe anything they say or they genuinely are shit at their job and don't understand the UK public.

The best thing H&M could do is just let the seasoned Buckingham Palace press office deal with everything.

I got Omid Scobie mixed up with Omid Djalili.
And there was I thinking that's a brave choice hiring a comedian as a pr.

Anne looks great here (at Portsmouth yesterday)

Here's another happy pic. Despite my cynicism at some of their more manipulative antics they do make a lovely couple.

William and Kate are on tour to Pakistan in the autumn according to IG but no word on if the children will go with them or not.

The baseball teams aren’t in London because of anything Invictus have done are they though? They’re doing a couple of World Series games over here in the same way the NFL hosts games in the U.K.

As a fellow short person, i’m pleased she is wearing nice flats...it might inspire a few more company’s to make good ones 🤔

Great story here about how MM and Mookie Betts (the Boston player she hugged today) are related. Quite a read...

I don't think that Invictus was the main impetus for the teams coming to the UK, but Invictus used the opportunity to publicize its work. The ceremonial first pitch (which is a big deal in baseball) was thrown by Harry in the company of Invictus competitors from the UK and the US. So essentially the opening ceremonies were devoted to Invictus.

I don't think the game was initiated by Invictus; teams from MLB always go on tour at this time of year. They've played games in Mexico, Australia and Japan.

Baseball already has leagues in Mexico, Japan and Aus. MLB is trying to popularise baseball in Europe, hence the Yankees/Red Sox series, which is the first MLB series to be played in Europe. Baseball is big business and Europe is an untapped market.

Baseball will do diddly squat in Europe.

But on her old acting resume Meghan is down as 5"6

Always subtract at least three inches from an actor's Spotlight height.
