We had to buy our Notts Cott furniture from Ikea on M's credit card- boo hoo

Really?
Another statement probably way off the truth.

H is reported as saying they were amazed when they visited W&C in Kensington Palace and saw the art work, the furniture etc etc.

Whereas HE had to kit out Notts Cott with Ikea stuff that M bought using her CC. (Harrods is just down the road as is John Lewis .)

Has he forgotten the £millions of tax payers' money that was used to tart up Nott Cott?

And that he's now had to pay back as they buggered off the US soon afterwards?

Yet another warped statement, oozing with unfounded jealousy.

I don’t understand his confusion. He is the SPARE so he has less status (and art) than the actual heirs (Charles, then William) as a reflection of this.

Meghan clearly knew/knows next to nothing in advance about royal matters. She literally came into this not having a clue of the cultural significance of the royal family and I don’t think it seems like she’s educated herself at all since. So in that sense, I can understand why she doesn’t get it.

She clearly believed she would be the saviour of the monarchy and they’d all follow her lead on how to be wonderfully popular and terribly modern…

Going well isn’t it? 😂

I wonder, will Harry be honoured with another award from Kerry Kennedy for this book ?

@OwwwMuuuum I honestly think she thought it was some reality show (with tiaras) and they’d be voted in as monarchs if they could win the public vote . 🤷‍♀️

This thread has shown me just how well-to-do how many mn-ers are that they think a Wren cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace is a hovel. 😂

The descriptions of a house that's probably worth 2m are hilarious.

I’m bored with all this already. But this is a very reasonable point and probably the point really. Attention being diverted from the rest of the family. Don’t look at us look at them and their spending with their American ways.

I think you will find the only people diverting attention onto H@M are H@M themselves.

I’m just wondering what the ideal outcome would be for Harry, what is he looking for from his family/public/press? Has he said what he wants from all this?

Laiste · 06/01/2023 14:18

Here's the 'hole', with Harry in it.

In one of the sound bites from his interviews he says he wants a reconciliation, but only if there’s some accountability from his family.

(I din’t know, I don’t think that’s looking terribly likely from where I’m sitting, Harry…)

I think he's desperate for a reaction, good or bad, from the RF. He's like a toddler having a tantrum and is furious at being ignored so escalates. Heels drumming against the floor now. 😁

Meghan did in fact go to Ikea accompanied by a body guard.

She didn’t see anything she liked and went to walk through the checkout empty handed when her eyes lit up at the scissors on display and just like the rest of us she was unable to leave without purchasing a set!

Money . 24/7 security paid for . Titles for his DC . Parity with W and K .

Does he think that the job of "being Monarch" is open to job-sharing?Grin

mixedrecycling · 06/01/2023 14:26

In one of the excerpts from the NF documentary shown by the Behaviour Panel on youtube H says that as he was born into the institution he has a responsibility to reform it 😁

And M says that they are bringing up their children as normally as possible given their role in this 'historic family'!

So, yes, I think they do see themselves as the saviours of the monarchy. He has made it clear that he believes in the monarchy, they still use their titles.

Maybe. Depending on the hours and the pay I could be persuaded to accept... 😂

I suspect it's more that the ones calling Nottingham Cottage 'a hovel' would only ever consider a new build with UPVC windows etc, and would regard anything old as utterly unbearable...

His kids have titles now. They're prince and princess/HRH. this happened upon Queens death.

Why would he have parity? When Edward, Andrew and Anne don't with Charles?
I'd bet that even their kids have the same thing, so Beatrice is put above Eugenie etc

The cottage was redecorated for William and Kate by Kelly Hoppen so I cannot imagine it was 'ratty' (You know, on top of being designed by Sir Christopher Wren).

Have you seen a picture of the kitchen? That’s not a decorator designed kitchen, surely? Maybe we’re talking about different cottages here.

And every room of their Montecito Mansion is still lit with 'tea-light candles' she was also tempted to buy ....by the bag of 100.

Here's the 'hole', with Harry in it.

They could also fit a pretty big Christmas tree in, and it has a fairly large garden for a 2 up two-down cottage. Given it’s also on a completely secure estate and with a huge park literally on their their doorstep, plus walking distance to plenty of high-end shops and restaurants, I think it was a pretty good location to live for a year or so while their primary home was identified and renovated. “But it’s not a palace!” is such a revealing whine from the couple - talk about telling us who they are.

And there's no room in the walk-in freezer for all the meatballs.

Well they could have lived full time in the large £2.5 million house in the Cotswolds they had as well if they wanted to.

Harry’s book would have been better entitled ‘Bitter’

I like the title Spare. When he and Meghan eventually divorce and she writes her tell-all, she can call it Spared.
