What next for the Sussexes?

I thought yesterday couldn't have gone better, all things considered; there was the least amount of drama or negative coverage possible regarding the Sussexes.

I'd like to hope that this marks a fresh start. Harry's got all the recriminations off his chest. The Royal Family have maintained a dignified silence and hopefully the future is rosy. The Sussexes can have the life they want in the US, with a small presence in family events back here when appropriate. (I wouldn't be surprised however if Megan never makes it back on UK soil).

I'm surprised Dior are bragging about that suit. It was creased and too big for him!

Creased because he presumably brought it from the US and doesn't know how to use an iron.

I think I better step away from this thread. There are unpleasant bitchy people on here... carry on with your slagging off, hope it makes your Bank Holiday Monday enjoyable!

I will just repeat this, in case anyone missed it.

Actually having checked back (it was Perez Hilton so no Kate Adie), he's now corrected his report.

Wise move as the environmental lecturing while they both used private jets was ill-judged.

I think it's sad that he's burned bridges with his family but the Coronation was well-handled. Like others I hope he can find some fulfilment in his life in the US. Personally I think he'd be happier if they sold they huge California place to give them financial security. He could buy a ranch or a vineyard or something that gives him the opportunity for money-making ventures (assuming he could pay for the expertise to run it).

I also used the word allege....

Cornishclio · 08/05/2023 08:46

I haven't read Spare and don't intend to read his other books. I am not an ardent royalist but anyone who has led a relatively privileged life as Harry has and then throws his family under the bus to make money does not merit my hard earned money or time.

He turned his back on the UK so can stay in the US and do what he wants as he says that is the plan. Why keep rehashing his grudges if not to make money. He got millions from KC and his mums estate so he doesn't need more.

I think it is a shame he doesn't get on with his brother now and I think Princess Diana would be very sad to see the rift between her two sons. He is isolated from his father too and his children won't get to know their cousins, aunt and uncle or grandfather.

So British Airways are lying. Okayyyy.....

I think we have got to the stage, that anyone (be it an individual or a gossip site) can make up absolutely anything about H&M, and some will believe it.

That's a bit pathetic to be honest

Yup. I’m going to start a rumour he was carrying a machine gun into the abbey. See how long it takes to get round.

I'm confused? I don't talk about K&W in that way whatsoever. Maybe you addressed this to the wrong poster?

Except no one talks about Kate and William, cause no one gives a shite.

Howsimplywonderful · 08/05/2023 08:59

@Roussette

You said that you thought William had an affair on another thread ?

so the holier than thou attitude seems rather rich ?

Maireas · 08/05/2023 09:00

No-one talks about Kate and William?!
I think they do, to be fair. There's a whole thread running on how lazy William is.

Thisbastardcomputer · 08/05/2023 09:00

I would have made him use the train to get to Heathrow, instead of a car with police outriders, if he'd wrote a book slagging me off. But I wouldn't have invited him in the first place.

It's not 'directed' at anyone. It's a general comment about the many made-up rumors a few posters have tried to spread on MN about Kate and William.

Pretending that Harry and Meghan are isolated victims of unfair gossip and vitriol on this board is inaccurate

notanotheroneagain · 08/05/2023 09:02

That Spectator article has to be thee most delusional thing I've ever read.

And how does the press always manage to make the rest of the RF look so bad. Like HMQE would say such petty things.

Also, this kind of lying about what dead people 'said' is most pathetic. Like when Jenny Bond said Diana approved of Camilla. Who on earth believes that!

If you follow any of the Hollywood gossip sites, they allege the commercial was smoke and mirrors and he flew on a private jet.

They can all allege all they like fact is BA (and some who work for BA) have confirmed he flew with them.

He was photographed by at least one pap at around 1400 hours Sat PM arriving at the entrance to the Windsor Suite at T5 (that’s the very very expensive, exclusive high end lounge hidden away under the Terminal)…being there at that time makes him ideally placed to travel on the BA 269 which left LHR for LAX at about 1545.

Business jets don’t operate from T5 he won’t have snuck on a business jet from that lounge.

Meghan didn't stay at home. She was on a hike where there just happened to be a photographer.

I will address this. ONCE just ONCE someone talked about the dog bowl incident and the only time I have said anything was for me to say perhaps that affair had happened and Harry was angry. One comment once. That was it. I don't slag the couple off day in day out.

At no other time have I amplified this.

Hope that's cleared it up for you?

Thank you for clarifying that was not directed at me I appreciate that

Since we're talking about merching, this seems to have been ignored by RR this morning. https://twitter.com/AmericanIdol/status/1655368113943113728?s=20

Quite. It's fairly well known that they use Backgrid when they want staged pap photos (as the hiking photos were credited to).

Not a great surprise they just happen to pop up at the same time as the coronation.

SoTedious · 08/05/2023 09:13

I think you're thinking of Directing which does take a lot of skill. Producing is just fronting up with some cash.

Wrong, they both take a lot of skill.

Yes, of course - wasn't that one of the major reasons for leaving?

Just as Zara Tindall is free to pursue various commercial opportunities, and Mike Tindall to go on I'm a Celeb.

Of course, it would have saved a lot of hassle if H&M had decided that's what they wanted at the start, rather than deciding to become working royals and then finding it wasn't for them.

But they are now free to get these sorts of sponsorship.

Of course, it would have saved a lot of hassle if H&M had decided that's what they wanted at the start, rather than deciding to become working royals and then finding it wasn't for them.

Don't know why people keep repeating this lie.

The RF made sure to make H&M's life hell, by leaking all sorts of lies and narratives about them. They looked happy and good at what they were doing.

notaswearwolf · 08/05/2023 09:15

i can’t remember the last time MM did anything press worthy and yet they find things to write about her every single day. I listened to a podcast recently and the paparazzi said that the most valuable photos are of Harry & Meghan (and Harry Styles) so as much as people allegedly want them to disappear the appetite for them is very much there.
