Harry and Meghan News thread

I thought we could have a thread for latest news. MN did say they didn't mind one or two threads. And no rules except stick to MN guidelines. It's Meghans birthday today I just read. And the Queen has wished her a very happy birthday on the royal Instagram page according to that popular Oracle the DM.

Censorship at this level is never good and I feel it reflects a narrowing of free speech in our society as a whole. HaM are using their influence to damage businesses by impacting their advertising if they view the content to be negative. Shocking behaviour from any celebrity, but esp a 'Royal'.
How can u get £ cos ur royal bt not follow the rules

Lemon slicers are all very well but I URGENTLY need to know how to tackle a mango.

Viviennemary · 10/08/2020 08:28

Stop companies advertising on social media?? What on earth are they on about now. I must say I hardly pay any attention to social media ads they are nothing but a pain and make loading slower. I quickly skimmed a sun article. They want to create a community of love. OK. Good luck with that. Maybe if we start with our own families first that would be a good thing.

It can't be nice living in a "rented" house for all that time. It's not a proper rent where you can bring your own furniture and make the place you're own. It's like being in a permanent, though very big, holiday home. I bet it's full of the owners clothes, personal belongings etc. And I hate inspirational quotes!

Viviennemary · 10/08/2020 08:36

I suppose buying a house has been affected by Covid. They might not even be planning to stay in L.A. because the door is open for them to return within a year. Book out tomorrow. Number of articles on them in the DM record stands at 15 in one day. But I only started counting a few weeks ago.

You wouldn't be able to relax in a furnished rented house. I reckon there are closets full of the owners clothes, personal photos on the wall, etc.

I agree about inspirational quotes.

I’m sure Archie has broken quite a lot of priceless stuff already. It must be hard to replace it too in the current situation. There must be a list of ‘stuff to replace’.

alliwantisagoodnightssleep · 10/08/2020 08:49

I wonder if like a typical rented house the letting agent did an inventory in advance.

Can you imagine what a £14 million inventory would look like!

MissEliza · 10/08/2020 08:51

It's not even a rented house. It's a borrowed one. I couldn't bear it.

Viviennemary · 10/08/2020 08:57

I read somewhere the owners want to sell it and them living there might be good advertising. Imagine prospective buyers wanting to look round with them in residence. That's a common problem for renters on MN. The usual consensus is not to allow it as it's an invasion of privacy. I thought they would have moved on before now. They might decide LA is not for them. I couldn't see the point of living there unless you're involved in showbizz

unless you're involved in showbizz. And therein lies the endgame.

HarryDaylight · 10/08/2020 09:05

I doubt if H has ever bought a piece of furniture in his life so living in a rental shouldn't bother him.

KatherineParr4 · 10/08/2020 09:06

A big jump from his ‘cottage’ with two bedrooms at KP to this huge sprawling mansion.

MissEliza · 10/08/2020 09:09

Well MM is from LA so I guess she just wanted to come home. I wonder what they are doing about H's immigration status. I know plenty of people who have married US citizens and it's a complicated business. I'm going to guess he's been quite happy to use privileged position to ease the way.

@OverUnderSidewaysDown

This is Tyler Perry’s photo of his kitchen. You can just see his gadget drawer to the left of the stove. He captioned this picture “Surround yourself with things that remind you to never give up”, a clear reference to his collection of potato-eye removers, butter curlers, rhubarb strimmers and lemon slicers.
I love his baronial stove hood.

In answer to a previous question, mangos are to be eaten in the bath/shower. Or leaning over a sink if you cannot escape to the bathroom.

I wonder about this as well especially since the pandemic must be causing issues for people wanting to apply for citizenship. I suppose Harry might need to travel back to the U.K. for a while at some point if necessary.
Viviennemary · 10/08/2020 10:24

I don't think the usual rules will apply to Harry. I thought spouses could stay indefinitely but couldn't get a green card. Not sure.

i think he did that. the video they made recently looked weird as if they were in different places and put together on the video.

bluebell34567 · 10/08/2020 10:36

also he had a pic taken supposedly in their garden with the background LA nature. i think that was a photoshop.

I'm around on other threads. Why?! You missing me?!

Yes, you’re a fixture! Wink

But wasn't she reported to have said she'd never live in the US while Trump was president ... ?
