No surprise he's coming on his own to the coronation.

@Whaeanui - absolutely!

@DuchessOfPort

Edward chose for his kids not to have the prince and princess titles too. My point is, Meghan and Harry could have chosen for their kids not to use them too.

Oh my sainted aunt!

Tom Bower truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

Speaking to Nigel Farage, he said: “I think it’s an ugly compromise. We must all be grateful that Kate in the end prevented Meghan from coming, saying she ‘wouldn’t have her there under any circumstances’.

“She said that if she does come, she will have to sit at the back.

And this is the man a lot of people here consider an authority on everything Meghan!

Does he not realise that this does not look at all good for Kate?! Reminds me of all those articles in Daily Telegraph earlier about Kate wearing trouser suits to "compete" with Meghan.

So much projection from these "experts"! And of course they had to make it about "the rivalry" .

Kate Middleton ‘prevented’ Meghan Markle from attending King Charles III’s Coronation

The Duchess of Sussex will not be attending the celebration

Jesus wept - I'm not going to read the article but honestly. I can't imagine Kate gets to overrule Charles on such matters. The press are doing their best to make this a huge drama...whereas the family seems to have come up with a compromise to reduce drama.

Roussette · 13/04/2023 10:06

Honestly the RR's and such like have gone down to rock bottom in my estimation. They are happy to take the dosh and comment on the Oprah interview that they hadn't even seen, criticising Meghan and Harry. A spoof that illustrated to me how unpleasant they are. Wonderful they got caught out talking about how Meghan was sponsoring a donkey sanctuary. Arses.

Tom Bower talks to Nigel Farage. Say no more. These people are just awful... and I lump the RRs in with Angela Levin and Piers Morgan now.

Whaeanui · 13/04/2023 10:08

Does he not realise that this does not look at all good for Kate?!

Yes they do. Kate will get a lot more of this because the aim is to have bad press for others so there’s no negative articles about Camilla, Charles former mistress, being crowned.

Maireas · 13/04/2023 10:09

GB News. Say no more. As if Kate gets to over rule the King and the government about a State Occasion! Some people really are in a fantasy world.

God it's just the pits how they operate.

Exactly. And she knows that perfectly well, so she wouldn't even try. This is a pure work of fiction.

Actually, that is very true, I hadn't quite joined the dots, but yes. Totally that. It's all so toxic isn't it... to live within palace walls with all this infighting, briefing against each other, manipulation ... just horrible.

Samcro · 13/04/2023 10:12

its rather unsettling that it seems to be mainly white men of a certain age who are trolling Meghan.

Whaeanui · 13/04/2023 10:14

@Roussette yes it’s awful. I find it laughable people question Harry talking about how this works, the dirty game. It’s so flipping obvious and the reporters themselves say they’re relying on tips and leaks from inside the institution. Kate unfortunately will get a whole lot more in the next month or so.

Whaeanui · 13/04/2023 10:14

@Samcro yes, very

Isn't it just!

Tom, Bob, Dan, Piers and Jeremy.

Hey, that would make a good title for a play!

Watch this thread :)

Really horrible, unpleasant upsetting stuff. How can you live like that.

@MrsMaxDeWinter

I was just waiting for someone to post that. Why should we believe that hook, line and sinker? And "Because it makes Kate look bad and highlights Meghan as a victim," is not a valid reason to just blindly believe it is true.

I posted it as an example of the kind of coverage from "experts", and to show how utterly nuts Tom Bower is. Not because I believe it!

Whaeanui · 13/04/2023 10:19

@Prescottdanni123 you do understand @MrsMaxDeWinter is not suggesting that stupid article is accurate right?

Whaeanui · 13/04/2023 10:20

Snap @MrsMaxDeWinter we keep posting the same thing 😂

Inkanta · 13/04/2023 10:20

Wonder if that story about Kate saying the walkabout with Meghan was the worst thing - was to distract from Camilla as well. That story came from nowhere.

custardbear · 13/04/2023 10:24

AskMeMore · 13/04/2023 01:24

They have not offered olive branches to Harry and Meghan. The family snub them publicly and leak against them.

As opposed to coining it in and blatantly televising and writing family secrets/skeletons and personal knowledge/conversations - whilst shunning the press and MM family for Doing the very same

I wonder too. I find it totally crass to have this sort of article out there when it is a sombre occasion, a walkabout following a funeral.
I have no idea where the story came from, so can only blame the media, but the depths they sink to is despicable.
There can't even be one day of mourning without this toxicity.

I just hope, against hope, that it is a made up DFail story because if it was briefed, I have no words except to say the RF have a very serious problem.

Whaeanui · 13/04/2023 10:29

writing family secrets/skeletons and personal knowledge/conversations

Another poster who refuses to engage with the facts which show all of the royals do this. Charles has done books and interviews and quite clearly, stories in the press are based on what they’re being told. Harry is just putting his name to his truths.

StormzyinaTCup · 13/04/2023 10:36

I have to agree, certainly from links that have been posted just recently on here, that certain papers and commentators seem to have lost the plot and gone a bit nuts on this. They need to watch their blood pressures otherwise they won't even make it to the coronation!

Personally I find the decision to be a sensible compromise for all concerned.

Littleroseseverywhere · 13/04/2023 10:40

Gosh, some posters are hugely emotionally invested in harry and Meghan. Most posters are having an abstract discussion, but a couple are lashing out, arguing and attacking like it’s their first born being discussed.

no one can be bullied into thinking harry and Meghan have behaved decently. It’s pointless continually trying to bully people into silence or agreement,
