Great post mathanxiety.

I agree with math. Well said.

And I have to say, the most downright shocking aspect of this whole thing is the BP response. A little bit of "spin" would not have gone amiss.

If you read Patrick Jephsons book it does cast some light on the machinations of the PR machine within the palace during his stint there. It really is so out of touch.

CPM's shoes at the gala have been id'ed. Valentino no less

According to the DM, Meghan has flown back to Canada.

justasking111 · 09/01/2020 22:16

Hells bells did not see that coming.

Bloody hell. It’s astonishing.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 09/01/2020 22:17

Gosh.

Could it get any worse?

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/01/2020 22:20

The Mail have been trying to get rid of Meghan for a while so I guess they've got what they wanted.

I don't get that. They have a Nanny. Surely that makes babies endlessly portable? You don't even have to do anything!

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/01/2020 22:21

The royals are always leaving their kids behind so it isn't anything new. If it's true that is.

Good grief!

Haggisfish · 09/01/2020 22:27

Crikey! The queen must be so pissed off! 😂

As I said on another thread - the copy on that website is cringeworthy.
It's awful. Tone deaf, arrogant, ridiculous, over-weaning.
It's terrible

I disagree.

It's perfectly pitched for a North American audience being introduced to the concept of Royal Highnesses working amongst them for the greater good.

They are not referring to the UK at all any more. Y'all need to wake up and smell the coffee, and I suggest some gratitude might be in order for what they will do for Britain's image abroad despite the best efforts of the Daily Mail to drag them down.

justasking111 · 09/01/2020 22:29

I would not have left my partner to face the music on his own. If this is true.

WineOrGinOrBoth · 09/01/2020 22:29

Sorry but Their website is tosh.

frugalkitty · 09/01/2020 22:29

I honestly don't see how this can end well. I'm beginning to think H&M need to just make a clean break, off they go, no royal duties, no money from the taxpayer. I don't think anyone comes out of this looking good.

Haggisfish · 09/01/2020 22:29

I read their website and thought it was fine. It clearly suggests they are very hacked off with misinformation from uk press and that they want to be in charge of their own press. Fair enough I think.

WineOrGinOrBoth · 09/01/2020 22:32

So Meghan has gone back already (if true). I see red flags. Harry is alienated from his family. Not good. Not good at all. I suspect this is the cause of the rift.

megletthesecond · 09/01/2020 22:33

Daily Hate claiming "she" left baby Archie (if they did). Babies have two parents last time I checked. (I shouldn't have clicked).

It's all a bit of a mess tbh. I wonder if Andrew was the straw that broke the camel's back. The Cambridges can't just flounce off but I'm sure I read a piece in private eye over xmas about William plotting behind Andrews back against him.

paradyning · 09/01/2020 22:34

Interesting points @mathanxiety - I tend to agree. Especially about their audience.

I just had a random thought. What if HM is that pissed off with them that she removes H from succession. Then she'd (or the men in grey ties) would have a conundrum as it would move Prince Andrew closer to the throne hmmmm Crown Shock

WineOrGinOrBoth · 09/01/2020 22:36

I’ve said similar on another thread @paradyning

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/01/2020 22:37

I think she'd need a more serious reason than being pissed off. Andrews misdeeds are more worthy of removal but he's still there. Anyway with 3 Cambridge kids the succession seems secured.

No one is mentioning the sandals in January. On a flight to coooold North America. She does look amazing though.

AudacityOfHope · 09/01/2020 22:42

What's with the gasping shock that they left their son for a few days? Surely now that the deed is done it makes sense for the spouse to head back to the baby while the other stays behind to work things out with his family.

I'm increasingly dismayed at what is perceived to be dramatic and shocking behaviour.
