Prince Harry revealed in his Oprah interview that the Sussexes stopped receiving money from the royal family in the first quarter of 2020. However, newly published accounts reveal that Prince Charles continued to financially support the Sussexes until summer 2020.

I wonder if this is going to be a case of their truth or incorrect wording on Harry’s behalf. Interesting!

Course they are, we all are but it's a bit ironic to say they've 'read something' when they usually strongly refute tabloid gossip as just that, gossip

Sigh. Can I not say 'I've read something' now?

Do you want links, is that what you're saying? There's more than a page of them. You can look if you like.

Even if it's true I bet Eugenje is very loyal to the rest of them and won't give him any ammunition for cbs reveals.

But then again, E does not seem to leak anything in the press about her and H. Only recently pics came out (not from her from what I understand) about her partying days with H in the US. It's only years later we are aware that she already knew MM quite well before H. Infact, while we are aware that H was in the US a lot with his cousins, none of them seem to have leaked about him.

Of course you can.

I've also "read it"somewhere also that H&E have remained close.

Can't remember the source but tbh given J&E are living in FrogCott then I think it's reasonable to suppose they are far from at loggerheads.

And Meghan and Eugenie spoke on the phone a few times about their pregnancies. So I read. Ooopsie lol

I've gone one step too far, I know! 😂

Skiptheheartsandflowers · 01/07/2021 23:05

I have no problem with 'I've read that..' which leaves room for the thing read to be selective, biased, or just plain wrong. It's bringing it up for discussion. The problem lies with statements like 'So and so did this...' when that is actually pure speculation but presented as concrete.

Not sure that Harry will be able to spend much time with the Brooksbanks if he's been maintaining proper quarantine, though. I read Wink that he'd be leaving sharpish after the statue ceremony to get back to Meghan and the kids. I imagine we'll know when he travels as he seems to be spotted at the airport one side or the other.

@ChiefInspectorParker in the OW interview, Meghan said she “already knew” PE and that the couples subsequently double dated. She didn’t actually say they knew each other well

'have no problem with 'I've read that..'

No me neither! Its a chat forum afterall we're all just speculating and sharing opinions. Just some demand proof one minute then allow musings the next depending on if they agree or not.

'I read wink that he'd be leaving sharpish after the statue ceremony'

Yes I read that too Grin, he won't be spending any time building bridges with PC. Poor man, he really does just have to grit his teeth about the whole sorry saga doesn't he.

I think Charles is in Scotland. Well out of the way!

[quote ChiefInspectorParker]@smilesy I believe Eugenie is a friend of Misha Nonoo, a friend of MM’s.

I don’t think I have ever seen anything saying MM & Eugenie are really friends or know each other well. It’s certainly not something I am ‘aware of’. I take what MM said to Oprah with a pinch of salt.

Happy to be corrected if anyone has more info.[/quote]
also, wasnt it at PE's wedding when M announced her pregnancy?

and away from H.

BirdsandBeesmakinghay · 02/07/2021 10:34

I’m curious to see how quickly Harry leaves.

Roussette · 02/07/2021 10:34

Oh god, not that one again.

As I understand it, that is untrue. And it's been done to death on here. Can't we talk about what is happening currently?
Or are we going back to coat flicks and avocados?

Roussette · 02/07/2021 10:35

Birds Well... he's been here a week. Don't blame him. He's got a new baby

Mummy194 · 02/07/2021 10:46

GMB said he left already.

Well Mike Tindall was on GMB and said that they had made the announcement on the family WhatsApp beforehand. This was the first time most people had seen them since then, and was the last for a while as they were going on tour that evening.

Roussette · 02/07/2021 11:09

It is relevant to the discussion about Meghan and Eugenie’s relationship

OK. If that's the case, it seems like their relationship hasn't been affected given they were in contact during their respective pregnancies.
So all good.

CrazyCatsAndKittens · 02/07/2021 11:39

I thought I read that the Queen had invited him for lunch at Windsor. I wonder if it happened or not.

Samcro · 02/07/2021 11:40

why is it always "she announced it" was Harry not there??
it really is another scraping the barrel to slag M off.

smilesy · 02/07/2021 11:42

@CrazyCatsAndKittens trouble is he had to quarantine to start with and now the Queen is at Holyrood week, so unless he stayed for longer, he wouldn’t be able to go.

Serenster · 02/07/2021 11:50

@Samcro

Well, in fairness, it would be more accurate to say that Eugenie’s wedding was when it started to be heavily speculated by the press and public that Meghan and Harry were expecting, based on Meghan’s choice of outfit on the day. I’m not entirely sure that Harry’s choice of which, if any, of his coat buttons he did up would have had quite the same impact. Grin So in this case, yes, it was just Meghan’s actions that were in the spotlight.

(And yes, there certainly were stories that close family members already knew the news).

I also look at stories that Eugenie and Meghan had phone calls about pregnancy sideways. Does anyone of their ages still use the phone to contact friends anymore? I presume it’s shorthand for they messaged each other, or facetimed or something.
