Previous thread

-Today Prince Harry is doing the draw for the Rugby League. (Not sure if it’s a public location but there’s bound to be a lot of press interest)

  • He has said he is going to stay in the UK for a bit longer to thrash out the details of “Megxit”
  • Meghan has been on a second surprise visit in Vancouver
  • Opinion coming out of Canada is that; not only do they not want to fund the Sussexes; having a member of the a Royal Family make Canada their permanent home is not acceptable.

Haven't read all of all the threads, just most of all of them, so apologize if this has been posted before. It made me titter. I am OK, thanks, but properly cheesed off with this rotten weather. Flowers to you, Rino, and Gin if you are of that persuasion.

Watching the engagement interview is so cringe now isn't it? She keeps cutting him off. At the beginning when asked if she said yes she said "I could barely let him finish. I said can I say yes now".

FlickingVees · 16/01/2020 19:54

Sorry about your puddytat Rino, it’s heartbreaking. Flowers I won’t ask ‘are you ok’ because you know, but I hope you are soon IYKWIM

The thing about MM hotmailing and dropping in on women’s refuges is appalling!

I worked in a charity treating children and their parents (mostly mothers) who had suffered violence, and there is NO WAY IN HELL we would have said yes to a random uninvited arrival of someone who wanted to take a few photos. And NO WAY IN HELL we would have ever ever ever allowed anyone to meet with the clients.

I’m just FLABBERGASTED at her ego. My God. It’s unspeakably shocking. Who the fuck does she think she is? I mean really? So, so self seeking and thoughtless. Shame on her.

Re her fake bump... she hoping that everyone will be nice to her if she pretends to be up the duff. Cue baggy jumpers and flicking coats.
Actually, I hear she and PH haven’t been together for a long time, so I doubt it very very much.

On a happy note, Princess Beatrice is getting married this year, so if MM ever does get upduffed, she can announce it then. Just when the vows are being said. In case for one millisecond the spotlight is off her.

I’m appalled by her, I have to say. God almighty.

As Diana and the press hounding here has been brought up, I think there’s a comparator there to her son and MM.

Diana didn’t just court the press, she arranged them and invited them in. She was possibly one of the main originators of the staged pap shot. The problem is, once you’ve invited in that interest and effectively encouraged a public desire to see photos of you, it’s hard to stop the tidal wave. Diana was able to control it here in the UK to a certain extent as she built up relationships with the press and did deals, but not so much overseas.

Prince Harry says he doesn’t want what happened to his mother to happen to MM in terms of the press. Yet there he was yesterday in the car not wearing a seatbelt. His entitlement protects him to a large degree in a way we’ll never have: he had specialty trained drivers, they drive slowly, there’s protection so other cats can’t get close to him etc. He hasn’t had to take much responsibility in life, everyone else has provided the belt and braces measures (pun fully intend ended).

And like his mother he wants the publicity when he wants it on his terms. Which let’s face it, is understandable. It’s just idealistic and not realistic. But he expects it; the difference between immaturity and maturity. He’s curating his own publicity with his Instagram account, including his and MM’s big announcement. What he’ll never be able to fully control though is people’s responses to the output he creates and the decisions he makes.

Home Office is recommending downgrade of a Prince Andrew’s security

I thought this quote was pretty significant
Those in charge of royal security cannot write a blank cheque for anyone who does not have a public role for the foreseeable future. Round-the-clock armed protection is very expensive. The Met is obliged to review the position to ensure it is justified,” the source was reported as saying

It would mean the prince either having no bodyguards, or having to pay for them himself. As a member of the royal family, and a former serving member of the armed forces, the prince could be seen as a target by terrorist groups

I hope the fact that there is no blank cheque for someone who does no work for the RF is applied in the case of the Sussexes.

Oh thank you Numbers .Smile
We found a cat, killed on the road, years ago. No houses nearby, so it was a mystery where he had come from. We buried him and then about a week later I was walking , a mile or so away, and saw a woman sticking up a “lost “ poster. I recognised the cat, and explained we had buried him, and asked if she wanted to see the spot in the garden.

When he was burying the cat DH dug up a Victorian Penny, we asked the woman if she would like it, and it was a strange and lovely thing, as it turned out that she collected those pennies. I really felt her cat wanted her to know where he was. 😢

SeperatedSwans · 16/01/2020 19:56

After such a public announcement about the RF being "toxic" by close sources . She can't come back now, it's done for.

But then again she's one of the biggest hypocrites I've ever known about. So she probably will when funds get low 🙄

Laiste · 16/01/2020 19:59

Can someone repeat where the RF being toxic thing is please? I cant scroll up!!

Cool0lady0 · 16/01/2020 20:01

meinethegreen

Will you calm down? The woman is desperate for publicity, she’s deliberately putting herself out there every day. It’s like an addiction to her.

If she genuinely was distressed by the negative coverage why is she calling the paps when she gets on a sea plane? Why is she posting set up shots on her Instagram page? She doesn’t want to live a quite life like the rest of us because she’s (probably) a narcissist.

Why don’t you save your sympathy for the homeless/people using food banks instead of someone who conned us out of a £20mil wedding and a £2.5mil home only to scarper 18 months later.

FlickingVees · 16/01/2020 20:02

wow, SirVix, that’s an amazing story... pennies from heaven indeed.

Jimjamjooney · 16/01/2020 20:04

I'm not the thread police, I've only posted once. Just find the unnecessary rude remarks sad tis all,

As you were!

Laiste · 16/01/2020 20:05

Oh found it.

''This is not how they wanted to handle this, but Meghan and Harry’s hand was forced,” a friend told People. “There is so much bad blood in that family—it’s toxic. If relationships had been better, things would have been different. A source close to the royal household told People that she was “deeply, deeply hurt,” by it, and the royal family didn't do much to help. “Meghan and Harry didn’t feel they got enough comfort or solace from them,” the source said. So they're out“

Hmm Bad blood? Why was Harry happy to drag the woman he had fallen in love with into it if it is all so awful? Or is this ALL about William and the did he or didn't he thing he might have done?

Grinchly · 16/01/2020 20:09

Just been watching highlights from the wedding - was trying to find the stone roses thing.

I'd forgotten the gospel choir sang 'Stand by me'HmmHmm

And also that he gifted her that huge aquamarine ring of Diana's which she wore to the réception. Never seen her wear it in public since.

DeeZastris · 16/01/2020 20:10

They both sound insane. Poor Archie having this pair of self absorbed tits as parents.

Bluebellforest1 · 16/01/2020 20:11

SirVixofVixHall

Lovely story Re the cat 😢 And sorry to all who’ve lost cats or have poorly cats.

I’m a dog person, but have lost 2 rescued labs, never forgotten.

SeperatedSwans · 16/01/2020 20:11

Why do two grown adults need comfort and solace, when nothing tragic has recently happened?!

Nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors granted, but there has hardly been a murder!

This is the problem, they are so privileged they have no idea about normal people day to day struggles and issues. My birthday today has been forgotten by everyone even my own mother. Yeah I'm a bit miffed about it, but I hardly need comfort and solace!! Jesus wept.

Justmuddlingalong · 16/01/2020 20:12

that huge aquamarine ring
Maybe it was dropped down the back of a seat in a plane and they're still trying to remember which plane.

ajandjjmum · 16/01/2020 20:13

Happy Birthday Swans Wine Gin

NumbersStation · 16/01/2020 20:13

I am also a dog person - also rescued labs - also loved and lost.

But love is love is love 😢💔

DeeZastris · 16/01/2020 20:13

Happy birthday separatedSwans!

I’m taking back my statement that they sound like huffy teenagers. I’ve seen 4 yr olds with more self awareness.

Cool0lady0 · 16/01/2020 20:14

There is so much bad blood in that family—it’s toxic. If relationships had been better, things would have been different

This woman was so toxic she made Kate cry & they had to move hundreds of miles away because she couldn’t get on with Will & Kate.

FizzAfterSix · 16/01/2020 20:14

The sooner this pair of self-entitled petulant numpties retire,or whatever it is they want to do, the better. Just not on the public shilling.

As for Prince Harry, pimping out Megs for voiceovers, oh the shame. I wonder how much of the donation actually went to the elephants.

Sussex Royal margarine is on its way. Yum. Or a Sussex Royal hoodie. Kerching!

Why can't these "friends" reveal who they are? Why does Meghan have to do all these press releases via "friends"?

The whole sou crushing situation is entirely of her making.

theThreeofWeevils · 16/01/2020 20:18

sou crushing

Is that like penny-pinching? Or perhaps 'money-grabbing'? Wink

NumbersStation · 16/01/2020 20:19

Well if little baby Airchie becomes a petulant little foot stamper who expects his parents to fund his lifestyle then we will know where he gets it from.
