Goodness me, this has moved fast! My NY resolution is only to MN at weekends (good luck with that one...) and I’ve almost missed an entire thread!

Need to have a read. I think my take on H&M news is I’m not against the idea in theory, but think it was v poorly executed.

In lots of ways I don’t blame them a jot, but they really don’t make things easy for themselves sometimes.

Charlotte C was brand ambassador for Gucci for a while too

QueenOfTheAndals · 10/01/2020 19:02

Charlotte's choices can be a bit avant-garde and sometimes I think she only gets away with them as
she's so beautiful. I wonder if Beatrice has any brand affiliations? She's incredibly stylish.

FINALLY I've found some fashion! Grin

I'm afraid this outfit from CPV is a miss from me. I dislike the colour of the blouse, and those cropped trousers and ankle boots do not work together at all.

Blimey that is a massive handbag!

MotherofPearl · 10/01/2020 19:08

And here I think Queen M looks great - I really like the patterned wrap and plain grey dress. But the black shoes are a bit heavy.

Hang on, is that dark nail varnish Queen M is wearing?! We all know what a hideous violation of royal protocol that would be. Wink

Slinks back in . . .

Two things,

  • does anyone know where the rather nice looking green jacket Kate was wearing yesterday was from?
  • where is Bertrand? Assuming she hasn't been on here but I haven't seen her in ages and so many RF threads without her on them that I was worried.

Looking forward to seeing Meghan in some serious fashion/jewels going forward.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 10/01/2020 19:25

I have a question or a ponderance really.

If H&M&A have moved away, how did no one notice them packing or shipping things off to Canada? What’s happened to all their stuff? Presumably they took some things for the six week break, but did no one know they’d moved out of wherever they live.

Not actually sure where they live or lived before this. Seemed they didn’t live in Frogmore. Where were they?

QueenOfTheAndals · 10/01/2020 19:25

I think sensible black shoes with everything must be a Queen Thing @MotherofPearl - HM is just the same!

@mrscampbellblackagain I've been wondering where @BertrandRussell is too. Come back Bert!

MotherofPearl · 10/01/2020 19:26

Yes MrsCampbell, I'd also noticed that @BertrandRussell is missing and has been for some time. I know she's usually sympathetic towards Meghan (as am I, I should say) so I'd be interested to hear her take on the events of these last few days.

QueenOfTheAndals · 10/01/2020 19:28

@DobbyTheHouseElk Yes I was wondering about that too. They moved to Frogmore before Archie was born and the Canada trip was only from mid-November. They were seen fairly regularly between those two dates yet people claim they were barely at Frogmore. So where were they living then?

What would they need to pack? They’re hardly taking the sofas and tumble dryer with them.

QueenOfTheAndals · 10/01/2020 19:30

@MotherofPearl unless of course... da da DAAAAAH - Bert is Meghan!

Best twist ever!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 10/01/2020 19:35

I'm speechless Queen as I always thought paradyning was Megs undercover Grin & I have no blooming idea why I thought that Grin
Yes where is Bert?

mrscampbellblackagain · 10/01/2020 19:41

I hope she is ok. Not sure if any of you remember Bonsoir but she was another very interesting poster and I missed her a lot when she vanished I think due to ill health.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 10/01/2020 19:41

I have often suspected Bert is Meghan!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 10/01/2020 19:44

Obvs they don’t need a sofa and tumble dryer...but even Royals must have STUFF.

Clothes, precious things, paperwork. Toys for Archie. Presents friends give you. Personal crap, surely they have it to. ???? Photos, teddies from childhood.

Otherwise they must have houses full of old clothes and stuff they never return to?

onyourway · 10/01/2020 19:45

I'm slightly concerned about the nanny who appears to have emigrated rather than just have a nice long holiday Smile

Catrescue1971 · 10/01/2020 19:47

Yes but she could still post in Canada! Unless the subterfuge became too much...

Spudlet · 10/01/2020 19:48

Yes, also missing Bert!

It’s interesting how quick many people are to blame Meghan for this change (not necessarily on this thread but I’m sure we’ve all seen the others). Why would it not be led by Harry? He’s the one with, arguably, many more reasons to dislike the press, and at the end of the day he’s the one who was born and raised Royal - and I don’t care how nice and modern they’re all trying to look, don’t try and tell me that doesn’t come with a massive amount of entitlement. Meghan may well have been the catalyst for all this, but I reckon Harry’s the one pushing for a way out of the Royal life. I think that becoming a husband and a father would have had a similar effect on him no matter who he’d married - Meghan has had a tougher time because of her race and nationality but no woman who married into the Royal family would have had an easy time. It just might have taken longer if it hadn’t been for the genuinely nasty racism that’s been directed towards Meghan. But I think this has been a long time coming from Harry.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 10/01/2020 19:49

It’s been annoying me all day. People talking about the website and rifts and visas. I’ve been thinking how did they move out of the country and no one noticed.

I don’t even know if they have staff or not, sometimes it seems they don’t. It’s all so odd. If I was William I’d be gutted not to say bye at least to little nephew. Who knows when Archie will be able to see the Windsor family next. So many things get leaked, but where they lived etc. Nothing. I think frogmore was a ruse. I don’t think they ever lived there.

Ooh, google bertrandrussell mumsnet!
