In a "handbags at dawn" showdown between Princess Anne and MM, my money would all be on Anne!

That woman takes no bullshit and has a great steely gaze, but focusses on the good causes she supports. It's about them, not about her. She's really not interested in fawning celebs and hangers on - unlike some I could mention and seems to have brought up two pretty normal kids without divorcing herself from the royal family.

From a remark she made about younger royals not needing to reinvent the wheel, I think she is pretty unimpressed with MM.

I'm reading The House keeper's Diary, discussed several threads ago.

Interesting. Diana and Charles were a terrible match. They had nothing in common. What they most had in common was a shared devotion to their sons. (she also mentions they both had a strong sense of public duty). At first they both tried to make the marriage work (her more than him) but it was never going to.

It's an insight into the privileged world the royals live in. And how it's quite unhealthy and breeds selfishness and arrogance.

Sarah Ferguson, before she married Andrew, was described as a pleasant, down-to-earth, slightly ditzy but very likeable upper-class girl, a genuine breath of fresh air.

After her marriage she became selfish, entitled, unreasonable and rude to staff.

ArchePenguin · 22/05/2020 16:21

Ah, but Andrew has always been very rude to staff so maybe she picked it up from him?

Allflightscancelled · 22/05/2020 16:40

Talking of PA has anyone looked at his LinkedIn profile (s)? Grin

@catinb0oots the last engagement of Meghan before fleeing to Canada a few hours later was a visit to the National Theatre I believe. No rings, wearing a blue shirt and a coat casually thrown on the shoulders.

7Worfs · 22/05/2020 17:00

Actually it may be incorrect to call it an engagement. Either unplanned, or unofficial visit.

iVampire · 22/05/2020 17:03

She’s a patron of NT. It might have been a non-ceremonial visit, but there’s no way it was unplanned/unofficial

7Worfs · 22/05/2020 17:12

I remember NT senior people being incensed the next day that she didn’t think to mention she’s abandoning the country that evening.

Photo here, hands splayed. Seemingly no bag.

Extraordinary.

Gosh. I didn't notice any of these 'leaks' from her before. Was she sending a signal to the royals ("I have your H and if you don't comply with my demands, I will divorce him and take you all to the cleaners. To show I am serious, here is a finger minus ring").

Hamsterian · 22/05/2020 17:58

It really is all about the drama with her! Looking back at all the actions and everything that happened, it does paint a clear picture.

SunbathingDragon · 22/05/2020 17:58

I’m not sure what she meant by it but in this day and age I don’t believe for one moment that it wasn’t calculated and didn’t have a reason behind it. The obvious one, as you say, implies divorce or separation.

7Worfs · 22/05/2020 18:12

The most plausible I think is an ultimatum to Harry. She took her rings off while he was agonising over a decision, possibly the abruptness and aggressive demands of Megxit.

Btw reading articles only a few months old about their deep love and connection to Canada is both comical and offensive to Canadians. Talk about articles aging badly. Grin

Amymone · 22/05/2020 18:35

OMG @caperberries that video is hilarious! And quite outrageous! She's not even subtle! Kate knows exactly what's going on...that look on her face!!! Grin

7Worfs · 22/05/2020 18:43

See I'm terrible at reading the full situation.
I watched the video several times, I really can't tell if HAM intentionally did this, but WAK are amusingly very clear to read.
WAK are also impressively in tune and that non-verbal communication between them is Shock

iVampire · 22/05/2020 18:44

She must have known that absence of rings would be noticed, and I find it hard to believe it was an oversight

No idea what she meant by it. Because if she really wanted to stick two fingers up, why bother to come over here at all?

Mariposa123 · 22/05/2020 18:52

I just watch W&K’s bingo video! They come across as a fun couple!

And a far sight cleverer than HaM. This is how it works when you listen to your PR and coaching instead of assuming you know better than they do when you're the one who's hired them for the job. Harry was similarly cleverly managed, then he met Sparkle and morphed into Kevin the Teenager.

7Worfs · 22/05/2020 19:15

Any link to bingo please?

He’s the video. You’re right @highmarkingsnowbile acting as bingo callers for an old people’s home isn’t considered world changing and could well be something any royal night consider beneath themselves. But W&K have the good sense to embrace it and throw themselves into it. They also come across as self deprecating and good humoured which are qualities appreciated by the British public.

7Worfs · 22/05/2020 19:31

Ah that's a fun video.

William is a very interesting character. I get the feeling he's quite strong-headed and uncompromising, but he's got an air of duty about him. Wouldn't want him as a friend, but would be fine with him as King. Smile

MangoFeverDream · 22/05/2020 19:32

Kate “earned her stripes” so to speak and Meghan doesn’t seem to really understand the concept

W&K never really improved or earned their stripes, they just look better in comparison to the dumpster fire that is H&M

7Worfs · 22/05/2020 19:34

dumpster fire

lol

Viviennemary · 22/05/2020 19:43

I saw this earlier on the news. I'm not a great fan of royalty but those two I don't mind at all. They seemed very natural and came over very well. Harry and Meghan are just simply awful. Meghan so fake and full of herself.
