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.

@CornforthWhite I follow the royal reporters and hashtags, from that folk like Dan Wootton appear (first I saw mentioning the announcement tomorrow).

I agree that Andrew could be labelled toxic for his dubious actions , but all of them?

I know people don't get on at times and it's hard , but you also have to make an effort in life as well.
I bet you that she made zero effort to reach common ground and made life uncomfortable whilst blaming everyone else for it not working out! The blame game is ok if it's justified ( the press ) but in day to day life you can't always just blame everyone else for your behaviour or wanting your own way all the time so throwing your toys out the pram every time there is a problem or someone doesn't agree with you!

BillieEilish · 16/01/2020 22:03

Numbers don't worry! It's simply because we have been 'friends' for ages on all the MIC et al threads and you always make me laugh!...

We have TOWIE on the coach, we have RHOC on the coach, it is the coach that keeps on giving and you would make very funny comments.

It is not because I think you like coach trips! Grin

I hope you are ok, I didn't mean to offend you Grin

Froq · 16/01/2020 22:03

I missed out the hashtags Confused things like #royal #royalnews etc.

JulietJanuary · 16/01/2020 22:04

Meine the only poster who to my knowledge advocated the guillotine was espousing your general viewpoints!

I think PH fell in love with michelle Obama, (mummy!) and MM stepped up to the plate with all the feels and “you’re your own man” tripe. She can’t even call him by his name: her smirking use of “H” is utterly bokesome.

She sowed the seeds of discontent into a rather damaged psyche.
Let’s face it PH hasn’t got a lot of brains. He’s good at killing and flying helicopters, but short on everything else, including self awareness, or analysis.

Now she’s bored and baulking against the fact that PH is a junior royal and she’s not going to be queen, not even a princess, in a castle.

I am genuinely appalled that she thinks she can rock up at refuges and shelters (Surprise!) without any thought to the safety of their clients, or their need for calm, and anonymity, all for the sake of self promotion.

I can’t even begin to say how vile that kind of self-entitled and selfish behaviour is. It just beggars belief that she would use people’s misfortune and vulnerable position as her insta photos’ backdrop. She is outrageous and reprehensible in the extreme.

You know, I don’t really know much about these kind of royal things, or how they’re done, but I would love it if the queen made Catherine a princess in her own right now.
The Cambridge’s have shot up in my estimation.

Let's face it, on top of all the probable narcissism on her part and loneliness and vulnerability on his part, the combination of ambitious LA actress and British Royal male was always totally ridiculous. Two totally different cultures, worlds and ambitions. It makes the film Notting Hill look like a documentary Grin

SpinneyHill · 16/01/2020 22:05

When HMQ tells you her lawyers are not going to continue with your lawsuit against a paper because of how damaging it will be that's a clue that you should drop it.

How arrogant they must be to have ignored that and gone ahead anyway. It's just staggering narcissism from both of them.

And NOT. Not nor. Sake.

BillieEilish I endorse every word of your post 100%.
Save us from these two self-centred sociopathic spoiled brats!
Hope the RF cut them loose to f-off to wherever, and that they fade from sight sooner than later.

OVienna · 16/01/2020 22:07

My 15 year old daughter didn't realise the announcement had been made on Instagram. Was Shock. As in ; do grown ups really do that?

colouringinpro · 16/01/2020 22:10

OVienna tell your smart dd that, No, grown-ups Dont do that! (But you prob already have Grin)

AutumnCrow · 16/01/2020 22:10

I did wonder if it was all about Andrew. Detatching and disassociating 'The Brand' from the inevitable fall-out regarding Andrew while they still could. Because Andrew is toxic. If they are trying to drop heavy hints about the toxicity of 'the family' then they are being a bit clumsy about it, however.

If my hypothesis has any legs, it means M&H won't touch Beatrice's wedding with a bargepole.

NumbersStation · 16/01/2020 22:10

All good @BillieEilish

I shall have to have a catch up on it!

No offence caused. Grin.

If you see an Arginafrock going by (not on a bus) give me a wave for it will be me. Wink x

This is hilarious from Russell Howard on Twitter

Harry & Meghan's Valentine card range: Roses are red, violets are blue, thanks for the money, we’re off so fuck you #Megxit #TheRussellHowardHour

BillieEilish · 16/01/2020 22:13

phpolly thank you. Ovienna my DD (11) had the same reaction, she couldn't believe it and then started to go into all the hacking dangers/implications and I switched off slightly.

JulietJanuary · 16/01/2020 22:14

OVienna I was surprised that my 20 year old was horrified at that too and Harry in general.

Froq · 16/01/2020 22:14

DM reporting that Frogmore staff have been axed.

Froq · 16/01/2020 22:16

As well as...

“Embarrassed Palace officials claim Prince Harry NO idea footage of his 'final' engagement as a senior royal would be accompanied by Stone Roses hit with the line 'I'd like to leave the country for month of Sundays'”

SeperatedSwans · 16/01/2020 22:16

Yeah but we've all got that white leather loafer wearing, dick head of an uncle that's creepy and you tell your mum "he freaks me out" when you are 14, and by age 30 you really do question the suitability of his girlfriend who is half his age!

But you don't scream "This family is toxic!!" at your 90 year old grandmother over Sunday dinner 🙄

You sort of give him a wide birth at Aunt Peggy's funeral and make sure you aren't at the buffet table at the same time. It's just how things are done!

Lunde · 16/01/2020 22:17

Doesn't sound like they ever intend to return to Frogmore - staff have been let go or redeployed

NumbersStation · 16/01/2020 22:18

Ah Valentine’s Day.

They’ve missed a money spinner there.

HALlMARKle cards.

I’ll get me coat. Blush

OVienna · 16/01/2020 22:19

She didn't think they were allowed to use social media.

"Why would you expose yourself that way? They're just exposing themselves to people who could say things to hurt them"

Indeed.

StartupRepair · 16/01/2020 22:20

I'm here in Oz in a waiting room while DD has day surgery and am so happy to see the thread so long and distracting. M was so fulsome in the engagement interview about how lovely, amazing and fantastic Harry's family were. Guess the toxicity started later.
I think she should have been apprenticed to Princess Anne for 6 months including dawn mucking out. That might have taught her something about duty and service.
There's a famous quote from Queen Mary when a family member was complaining about having to visit a hospital. 'somwthing like 'we are royal. We love hospitals and we are never tired.'
