Harry and Meghan News ( Finding Freedom!)

twitter.com/i/web/status/1261788333577056257 This is so funny if anybody fancies a giggle, royals eye rolling!!!

Meghan has acquired a large and lovely private jewelry collection in the last couple of years that's worth around 600 pounds. Her taste is more of the modern and discreet variety and the Crown jewels are generally more showy. The idea that there isn't a person who carefully monitors exactly who has a piece on loan and promptly collects it after a public airing is humorous to me. The RF pay their minions a pittance to keep very close tabs on all their material riches.

I saw a job advertised for a professional cushion and curtain repairer for Windsor that paid about 25k a year.

Above article from 2017 Harry says he doesn't "have an opinion whether that was right or wrong", but "looking back on it", he is glad to have been part of the day.

USirName because the poor child was only about 11 when his mum died and he had no idea what he was signing up for? I was 13 and my brother 11 when our mother died and in the middle of severe trauma and grief you have no idea what to expect at, which for us was the first funeral we ever would've attended.

Your heartlessness is sad. I am going to assume you hadn't really thought this through.

Well Tangible that wasn't my point. I was not saying that it wouldn't be difficult for a young child, I have dealt with loss at a young age.

The way he is behaving now, is that he was forced to do this and how horrible his family were for putting him through it. Do you think it would have been better if they ignored his request to be a part of his Mum's funeral, he would have been so angry to be denied that right and that could have cause him real trauma.

I wanted to know if it was true because he is now using the situation as a pity party for himself constantly (as an adult man) to gain attention, and seemingly to cause backlash towards his family.

I may be heartless but I am sick of Harry bleating about his mother’s death. It happened, it was tragic but you have to get on with life. How many of the service personnel didn’t come home from active service? How many military families have children who have lost a parent? I would humbly suggest that their loss is far more tragic and long term damaging. Harry is a Prince who never had to worry about a job, a home, exam results or money. If my eyes could roll any further I would be able to see out of the back of my head

He's looked miserable ever since he married MM, his zoom calls look like hostage videos, I will never believe he wanted out of the RF.

I bc always thought that H looked so happy when he was doing stuff with W and C . They seemed to have a lot of fun and H seemed very close to both of them. Sad that this has happened .

Obviously none of us know the true story and the PR wall is there is enable the RF to have a private life while we interpret from afar. Harry himself had said noone would chose to be royal and because of the intense scrutiny they endure it's easy to see how people would prefer to have a different version at least of their life.

The narrative was the same for Meghan and Wallace, that an evil woman beguiled a man to give it all up for her. The truth was Wallace didn't want to get married, didn't love her royal husband and was very happy just having the status of the King's mistress. David wanted out and used her as an excuse and Harry does have his own will and brain. Noone wants to be a third wheel for the rest of their lives. He said openly he would love to get married and have children. I am not taking any "sides" here, just that at any time Harry could have refused to do anything but he didn't. It's too easy to blame MM for everything when Harry showed he was capable of making bad decisions before she ever came along. He was also very likely protected from himself just like his uncles were in the past by the Palace Machine.

He clearly had advisors everywhere, those in his family's households and those he and MM employed. Everyone asked them (including his dad) to wait to negotiate in private but he decided not to. When is a 35 yr old man responsible for his own decisions?

Did I just read that M and H may have actually had a registry for wedding gifts?! Wouldn't it be the done thing as insanely wealthy humanitarians, they would ask only for donations to their favourite charities? Ffs, I'm nobody important or rich, but did that on my wedding day. It felt like a nice thing to do and we also stressed that there was no need to donate either. I literally wouldn't believe it if this pair had actually requested and accepted gifts.

Obviously we have no idea of the real story behind the funeral, but I thought I'd read that William and Harry walked behind Diana's coffin to show solidarity for Charles, as at the time, national feelings were negative towards him and he was worried about an assassination attempt? The thinking was that nobody would take a shot with the boys there? As ever, happy to be corrected if this turns out to be disproven.

I am sure H and M asked for donations to charities , as did W and C

Ah, that would be the right and proper thing to do. I was just surprised a pp had mentioned a Times article had reported they'd registered for gifts. That's good if they only had charity donations and no gifts.

@7Worfs what gif of M smirking at K?

I agree, scottsdc.

There seemed to be the assumption that he couldn't serve the Crown and stay in the armed services but I think that was probably a mistake.

It as reported at the time Harry left the army, and since, that it was his decision. He didn't want a desk job. Charles encouraged him to stay in the army, precisely because it gave him structure.

Re the funeral walk - I have read numerous accounts that state this was an idea of the Blair government, and when presented to the RF, Prince Philip said "F* off." He thought it a terrible idea, but eventually offered to walk with the boys, if that was what they wanted.

In readiness for the Lady Colin Campbell book on M & H, I'm half way through her book on the Queen Mother. Wow - talk about a different person to the sweet little old lady I remember. It's not only a birthday that she and Meghan share! Manipulative, scheming and all about me. At one point LCC writes words to the effect of 'Bertie says what Elizabeth wants, Elizabeth gets'.

I'd heard rumours about her being born to the family cook, and that is put into context and seems believable. Also that the Queen and Margaret were conceived through artificial insemination (using Bertie's sperm) as she didn't like sex. I can't believe that these things can be published, if they're not true.

Just at a part where they've been given a house in Richmond, but she doesn't like it as it's too far from the centre of London, so she's trying to get the Royals/Government to give them another house, but has been told it can't happen, after the amount of money that's been spent on the refurb!

Incredible.

@coconutpie A few pages back someone linked to a tweet with it.
It's Kate walking in front of Meghan, Meghan looks at Kate's back smirking, then turns to her side (presumably Harry) and gives a knowing look.

ajandjjmum Gosh, that sounds too familiar

I've read in several books that the Queen Mothers nickname within the family was 'cookie'.

There's another photo of MM giving Kate an evil look, I dismissed it because photographs only capture a tiny snapshot of what's happening and thought it's not fair to Meghan, well now theres a video of photograph, god it's quite chilling, if anyone can find it MM is wearing a white hat with her hair down and Kate is wearing a navy blue wide brimmed hat, the video is close up too, there's no mistaking what Meghan thought of Kate at that particular moment in time.

I'd heard rumours about her being born to the family cook, and that is put into context and seems believable.

I doubt that, as Elizabeth (Queen Mother) looked a lot like her mother.

Their wedding had both charity donations and a gift registry.
I think m fed h's desire to leave by painting a picture of them as global humanitarians, flying about inspiring people. They are going to learn the hard way that they do not have any exceptional expertise and their only source of interest is Harry's royal status.

This is the instagram post another poster had posted. @Teddy1970, I believe you are referring to another photo/video.

You can see the "look" just in an instant. This told me that yes, she dislikes Kate, with the heat of a thousand suns.
