It's not clear if Lady Hussey was specifically assigned, or if all the late Queen's Ladies in Waiting were asked to assist.

Lady Hussey is the only one who is reported to have spoken about it (July this year, source Tom Bower, at time of publicity about his book "courtiers")

You could be right . I know that HM asked Sophie to support Meghan but M wasn’t receptive to her either .

Where did you hunt for find this? I haven't seen this yet -

The ad's OK - he doesn't have to do much other than smile and hit a ping pong ball. No idea why that sport was chosen, and it does make a change from the usual focus on athletics.

It could have done without the last bit though - it takes the focus off the Invictus athletes, and I think that's wrong. It should be squarely on them

Puzzledandpissedoff · 30/11/2022 15:57

Isn't this because even though there has been prosecutions - some, even on MN are still denying this happened

I couldn't say, Preparation, because as mentioned I don't know which threats Neil Basu was referring to
It's perfectly true some try to deny they were threatened by the neo nazis who were jailed - although TBF the offences being tried weren't just about H&M - but I was trying to pin down whether it's these he was rehashing or if there'd provably been more

PreparationPreparationPrep · 30/11/2022 16:12

I took it that if anyone was in any doubt he was reaffirming that it did happen.

Maybe the Netflix show will be the docuseries version of the Cut article.

@mindwanderer You're referring to us as "ladies?!" I thought we had moved on from sexist assumptions like that?
And "most people's" hatred of her is driven by prejudice? Yet you're not a fan?
How are you so sure we are all racist but you're allowed to dislike her but you're not?

So, long as the point is not lost on those who reflect, I won't lose sleep over your rebuttal. Not here to fix your hatred for another human being. That's on you.

Blip · 30/11/2022 17:08

@mindwanderer what's with the deliberately inflammatory language?
Hatred? Please quit with the mean and inaccurate comments on other posters.

If the cap doesn't fit, why are you bothered? How rich to ask someone who is asking people to stop spewing hatred to stop being mean. Have you read some of the posts? Or are you choosing to turn a blind eye? I have no words for you.

Blip · 30/11/2022 17:15

Yet more inflammatory language I see.

Aspiringmatriarch · 30/11/2022 17:15

If anyone is in any doubt as to the motivations of certain posters, have a look at the thread about Lady Susan resigning from the Royal household.

Oh, I don't know, I quite liked it DH usually refers to me as Desperate Dan on account of de-skinning him with my legs. At least, I think that's why he calls me that...

I'm glad you got my point.

I'm anti-racist and I call out it out.
It's not enough to be silent or pretend that you can't see/ read these things.
If you have a problem with people who don't entertain these backward qualities, that's on you.
I'll no longer give you the attention you don't deserve.

Blip · 30/11/2022 17:31

This is nothing to do with not being silent or calling out racism. It's quite possible to do this without using unnecessarily aggressive and inflammatory language which cheapens and devalues what you say.

Do you honestly think that posters here "hate" MM and "spew hatred"?
I don't see any evidence of that.

Neil Basu has got his own personal beef going on with Priti Patel, the home office and the govt over how he didn't get promotion that he believed he'd been given the nod for. So he's making out that he lost out because of racism rather than not being the best the job. That ties in well with racist threats against MM.

However, it's beyond doubt that she did obviously receive hateful and awful threats and anyone would be scared, particularly someone putting themselves into public situations on a regular basis. I can't imagine anyone not having huge sympathy for her. It must have been very tough.

It makes you realise what the Queen was exposed to on a regular basis as Head of state - particularly as she visited dangerous places because she felt it was the right thing for her to do. She really was a class act.

And Susan Hussey is a bloody disgrace.

MarshaMelrose · 30/11/2022 17:48

If people are willing to pay $5000 to hear Meghan speak, then that's all the good for charity so good on Meghan to be able to command those sums.

Those photos, though, they're just cut outs from old magazines. 😂 Surely they could have arranged something more exclusive. I makes the evening look really cheap.

Maximinimalist · 30/11/2022 18:09

So much hatred for a woman that these haters have never met. While denigrating Meghan, they denigrate the woman they hold up as perfect. If Meghan’s achievements before she met Harry were unremarkable, what does that make Kate’s achievement?

The good think about all this hate is that it sets the standard for why Meghan is a bad person and someone to hate. Unsurprisingly, when it gets applied to the other Royals, they produce record breaking behaviours against what Meghan is judged against. It simply hastens the contempt and demise of the Royal Family.

The race issue with that’s currently hitting the news is a really big blow. I feel it’s a real turning point that has sealed the view around the world that the Royal Family is racist. The credibility of the Royal Family is only intact amongst white supremacists. Not a good look and so not in line with the modern world.

Personally, I find none of them inspiring or useful. I feel the most sorry for Kate who is so far removed from what modern females aspire to be. She is stuck in playing a ridiculous out of touch role. She could be so much more, connecting with young woman. This insane grinning is just too much.

I may have misunderstood the article but I read it as guests brought the photos with them, rather than the event providing them.

Not sure why though.

MrsHGWells · 30/11/2022 18:27

MM the ever communal narcissist.. raises a few thousand for charity and billing over $1m for her as guest speaker…and many MM fan club ponder why she didn’t fit the Royal family mould

Oh, that makes more sense. 😂😂😂 On re-reading it they brought the photos not bought. I think it was just the organiser on one table that did it.

Why? That's what superfans do!

What about the various money grabbing royals? Suitcases of money, shady dealings with shady people.

A wholly dysfunctional family - the Royal Family. Even Charles himself gave an interview calling his mother unfit.

Kate often going commando and showing all her bits and bobs, captured for eternity on camera.

The whole thing is a right shower. Utter nonsense and a rapidly declining few bow to these people and consider them as better than them.

I see nothing about these people that make them better than me. Nothing! I resent my hard earn money going towards all this nonsense.

MarshaMelrose · 30/11/2022 18:35

But that's not what it says. The article says that someone thinks (probably her pr team) that she could earn $1m a speech on the after dinner speech circuit. There's no evidence she even charged this charity. (Although she does usually ask for her travel expenses. )

MarshaMelrose · 30/11/2022 18:39

That's a disgusting thing to say. She was on private property and a paparazzo took intrusive photos of her and published them on the internet. She sued and won. Stop victim blaming.
