So anyway, we had leftover slow cooked chicken for dinner... I’m seriously envious of your steak dinner, Mustress

It's a natural reaction to look up and smile when you're name is called. No matter who you are

My post was in direct response to the above post from Encyclo. I have no idea if her name was called. Anything is possible.

Encyclo · 23/01/2020 19:52

Kate Midleton has also been accused of over smiling. Especially during the turnip toff drama. I've read loads of commentary about her over the top "gurning and guffawing".

They probably do it because they don't want pics of their faces in repose out there.

What's the big deal? I can't demonise someone for smiling.

katiegoestoaldi · 23/01/2020 19:55

Maybe this is what she was so pleased to see in the bushes. It would explain the constant smiling and the strange inaction of her security

My children had KFC tonight - rubbish mother alert. I had sushi. I've still got my cold but feeling slightly better today.

So I am ok 👌

Splash (who took the photos) are paid for paps. She used them in her Suits days too.

This is also the reason they’re targeting the UK press for publishing them instead of the paps who actually took them.

(And, of course, because there’s nothing illegal about taking a photo of a person in a public place)

SunsetBoulevard3 · 23/01/2020 19:59

But how does anyone KNOW who took them? I asked this in a previous thread?

7Worfs · 23/01/2020 20:01

katiegoestoaldi your posts about the pap walk are fire, I'm chuckling away. Grin

Wendy I hope you feel well enough to thrive tomorrow

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 23/01/2020 20:02

nobody has attempted to explain alternative reason for H absent - loads of pics

H present - no pics

Puzzledandpissedoff · 23/01/2020 20:03

Splash (who took the photos) are paid for paps. She used them in her Suits days too

So another coincidence then? As Catherine said, there seem to be quite a lot of them don't there?

And the point about there being no papped photos when Harry's absent is just one more

There's an old saying on MN: "if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck", etc, etc ...

Encyclo · 23/01/2020 20:04

Splash? You mean the paparazzi agency they sued and won substantial damages against last year?

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 23/01/2020 20:04

My throat feels worse today but we had SeaBass in garlic and herb butter for lunch.

Tonight was pork chops, but I lost my appetite and didn't eat any.

StubbleTurnips · 23/01/2020 20:08

The photo captions / acknowledgment is splashnews of the sling / dogs / Archie event.

rockingchaircandle · 23/01/2020 20:09

These 'coincidences' may be just that.
And some people are just trying to construct a narrative that suits their view of her?

The truest post was whoever said 'we just don't know'!

Encyclo · 23/01/2020 20:12

Harry and Meghan successfully sued Splash last year. IIRC they hired a drone and flew it over their home in the Cotswolds. No way is she working with them.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 23/01/2020 20:12

@Froq
How do you know the photos were taken by Splash?

colouringinpro · 23/01/2020 20:19

Wendy Kids and I had McDonald's on Monday night. Sometimes it has to be done!

Froq · 23/01/2020 20:22

Copy written on the photos @SunsetBoulevard3

Yes @Encyclo the ones the sued, no idea substantial damages.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 23/01/2020 20:23

If that’s true how does she have a leg to stand on? It’s ridiculous.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 23/01/2020 20:26

Harry and Meghan successfully sued Splash last year

I don't pretend to have seen the legal papers, but reputable reports suggest that Harry sued them, rather than Harry & Meghan www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48296202

Whether Meghan would work with a company she's used before against her husband's wishes is something we can't possibly know of course ... perhaps it's just one more of those unfortunate "coincidences"?

7Worfs · 23/01/2020 20:29

Things are about to get interesting as Harry is there.
Either pap walks and competition with W&K will stop, or Harry will be in for a rude awakening.

Encyclo · 23/01/2020 20:33

Okay. Let me understand this correctly. Harry and Meghan have sued Splash and won substantial damages from them last year.

Are we really expected to believe she called these people up this week and told them where she was going to be?

rockingchaircandle · 23/01/2020 20:34

Or... The competition with Will and Kate/papparazzi allegations are just speculation and they'll be pretty happy with the relief of it all now? I doubt they think it'll be all plain sailing, but hopefully they're enjoying a bit of a breather, back as a family again.

Encyclo · 23/01/2020 20:35

"Prince Harry hired lawyers to have the photos removed, as the “syndication and publication of the photographs very seriously undermined the safety and security of the Duke and the home to the extent that they are no longer able to live at the property.” It was an even bigger blow to the couple, as they chose the Oxfordshire home due to its secluded position and “high level of privacy,” as the royals’ lawyer explained in court.
The photos have been removed, and Splash agreed to no longer make them available as well as halt using any “aerial means” to photograph Prince Harry’s private homess again, per The Telegraphph^. In a statement, Splash apologized to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and acknowledged their “error in judgment.”

peridito · 23/01/2020 20:37

re how come pics when Harry not there and none when he is - while he was in England Meghan carried out 2 visits + walk in the park .

Presumably she has not carried out any visits since H back . And presumably the distribution of the photos from the walk have made her more guarded /inctrease security to avoid being followed etc .

In the smiling at hearing her name called scenario I don't think she would have known it was coming from a bush ,just heard a voice and looked up .
