Just to stop this rumor from gaining traction....

If it is Hope Ranch Park they are looking at, that is an HOA. No one in an HOA can stop anyone else from buying a house. (though that may not mean the residents would rather they not).

This is different than a co-op, which most of the buildings in New York have.

The difference, for those inclined to read: www.thebalancemoney.com/differences-between-co-ops-and-condos-4151116#:~:text=Co%2Dops%20have%20a%20committee,other%20during%20the%20admissions%20process.

An HOA can dictate many things, like how tall your grass can be or what color you can paint your house, but not if you can buy withing the community.

For the record, I would not want to live near Madonna either.

Both Meghan and Catherine looked amazing yesterday!!

Meghan's dress fit her well, which has been an issue for her in the past IMO. Catherine's red dress was exquisite and I loved that she wore the Lotus Flower tiara.

I noticed that Catherine seems to have changed her hair and make up. If is very subtle, but it makes her look... I don't know. More mature, not in an aging way. Not sure what to call it.

@Roussette that article is interesting. I also found it interesting in another article I read last night, which I can not remember which, that said the palace does in fact place stories in the media.

What I really hope comes out of this whole debacle is that the press needs to stop treating all royal women badly. Of course, billion dollar a year business right?

Yes I agree they both looked great and the outlets that compare the two are crazy. They're two very beautiful ladies but also very individual and different. And the pettiness in saying she copied Kate, that's daft as well.
There's another article complaining about why a mum if two insists on wearing white! The writer is clearly clutching at straws, she wasn't at messy play in white fgs! She was at a formal event.

onlylarkin · 08/12/2022 01:15

I would expect the argument to be that she is wearing white after labor day. Well, that is an old US rule, but still.

Mothers of 2 cant wear white? It wasn't a wedding for cripes sake.

Rabbits have to eat their first pass poo to re-digest undigested food. Clever stuff from nature. Reading these almost inifinite Harry ++ threads is starting to feel the same.

But I fear it's all gonna be a damp squib in the end. That said Netflix have certainly got their money's worth of publicity and I've got up to speed with S5 of The Crown - Imelda Staunton is brilliant at the Queen. When they get up to date Meghan will be able to play herself !

What a totally brilliant genius idea! The internet would implode!

Never watched The Crown but I would for this!

Thanks to all who read the article on palace statements,. mixed reactions to it obviously,. not all bad!

I believe that such was the upset everyone was feeling at the time that people just fell in with the plans that had been in place for years.

I know there are things I’d do differently if I could turn back the clock to when I was burying my mum.

It really is all water under the bridge and I’m pretty sure Harry loved the Queen and she loved him.

Well let’s see what happens if they are invited to the coronation, if the royal family is racist as they claim, then if they have a shred of integrity they should refuse the invitation, how on earth could they rock up showing their support and condoning a racist institution?

I’m no fan of Harry and Meghan whatsoever but the death of a loved one is very difficult at the best of times let alone when there’s upset within a family.

As for the Coronation - it will be overshadowed by Harry and Meghan’s toxicity whether they come or not.

Morestrangethings · 08/12/2022 05:11

And it’s groundhogs day on MN’s The Royal Family threads. Yet again.

On a completely different note I think Meghan looked stunning yesterday, her smile was the most natural I've ever seen. She looked so comfortable and so did Harry.

You do know she is an actress?

Roussette · 08/12/2022 07:49

ThePoshUns · 08/12/2022 06:37

According to those on here who dislike her, she's only a Z list cable actress anyway, so I really don't think you can say she's acting at looking stunning or natural.

She did look amazing and they both looked very happy together. (Cue posters saying Harry looked haunted, unhappy, trapped or a variation of that)

TheTantrumoftheToddlerIsThere · 08/12/2022 07:56

Link for Sky News’ live update feed, subtitled we’re watching Harry & Meghan series so you don’t have to.

Dont think I’ve ever seen a live news update for a tv series before 😬😆🍿

Dustyblue · 08/12/2022 07:59

I'm in Australia and it's 7pm... supposed to drop any minute. Yes I am pathetic.

I couldn't find a thread in the Telly section, surely we need a solo thread for this somewhere?

TheGlassSlipper · 08/12/2022 08:11

What H&M are doing is simple: they're taking revenge for perceived injuries to their fragile and over inflated egos. They will continue to fling dirt at the royal family. As the monarchy needs to be reformed anyway, I guess their mud slinging can be constructively used by the RF to establish where they see the RF in the 21st century and take all criticism as an opportunity to reflect and redefine the values by which they wish to operate. If there is racism (and there will be) they need to transform the culture through training and policies. If there is bullying, which there will be (it's in any organisation) again, they need to tackle this top down and bottom up. The late Queen, will have left a legacy that really needs overhauling with a lot of old relics that need removing. William, Charles, Kate and Camilla and other senior royals need to flip this Netflix situation and take the show and associated scandals as an opportunity to improve their service offering, it's valuable feedback. They can and should confidently ignore any accusation they feel are not true but improve the things that are Xmas Wink

H&M two make me cringe. I am not a royalist and would quite prefer a republic but the Susexes are hypocrites milking their titles and complaining about the very system that has given them a global platform. Entitled faux people.

felulageller · 08/12/2022 08:13

I feel like I might as well watch it even though I know very little about the whole saga.

So agree.

What a wise post. How reform happens though, god alone knows! A mammoth task.

Guitarbar · 08/12/2022 08:44

The monarchy is being reformed though, there's been a lot posted about how it's to be trimmed down, events be scaled down and the focus of their endeavours switched. Harry will be pleased to know as he hates them so much that the bill passed earlier this week that means him and Andrew will never, in any circumstances, be able to fill in for the king.

Yes which is why I said it's the most natural smile. Previously she's looked like she was forcing it sometimes but not this time

Rubbish .
Harry and disgracefullly, Andrew, are still there the 'scaled down' but also EXPANDED list of counsellors of state

I'm on episode 2. Yet to see any slagging off of the Royal family. Just their life story so far from their own perspective.

ThePoshUns · 09/12/2022 06:21

Yes and it's so boring and self indulgent

wewishyouamerrychristmas · 09/12/2022 06:47

I didn’t see much against the RF at all. It was mostly about the British media. I have found a lot of the headlines in the press this morning to be completely misleading. I don’t think they should have done the documentary but they have and I think they came across better than I thought. They are clearly very in love.

BadgerB · 09/12/2022 06:52

Starting with a disclaimer - I haven't watched it all. BUT it seemed to me, from something Harry said, that his whole problem was that, when he asked the "palace" to stop the papers attacking Meghan, he didn't like the response. This was along the lines of "The papers always do this, your mother, Camilla, Kate. Ignore, it will stop."
It's definitely not the job of the Palace to censor the Press.

TranquilSereneSounds · 09/12/2022 07:01

Harry looks like a hostage 😐

Meghan is a force of nature, she should use this to do good, not moan and point the finger ad infinitum, it's a waste of her potential.

With them disliking the British public and royal family so much, will they give up their titles?

They don’t dislike the British public. They dislike the racists who are British.

I don’t see Harry looking like a hostage at all.

ZeViteVitchofCwismas · 09/12/2022 07:25

@Roussette can I ask why you never watched it?

Personally I think it's absolutely incredible.
Funny, tragic, historically interesting ( I know some isn't true) but the pea souper stuff around Churchill...it even has a flash back to the Romanov's!

The acting and set's are superb. We started to listen to the official podcast,the detail that went into one stag's head!!

The jewelry,even the old perfumes they use!

ZeViteVitchofCwismas · 09/12/2022 07:28

Does anyone know if it's true that Megan did charity work during suit's?

There were photos of her in various places.

That's a stark contrast to Kate who did a gap year organised building a village.
I don't dislike either woman but I think whatever you think of Megan it's clear she's living on a different plain to many people in the royal family.
She's very articulate and a self starter.
