H&M asked if they could have a lift home on AF1 after HMQs funeral.
Environmentally friendly sure, but makes them look grabby and entitled again. Makes for a good story though.

I actually couldn’t believe what I was reading. Who do they actually think they are?? It’s in the Independent so not just the Rags.

This sounds like a load of old made up BS

President Biden left the UK at 2:30pm GMT after attending the Queen's funeral. Air Force One was in the air while Harry & Meghan attended the 4pm committal service in St. George’s Chapel & the private burial. How exactly were they going to get a lift ? And why would they want to end up in DC when they live in California, 2,500 miles away?
This nonsense story is laughable

People really shouldn't believe everything they read about H&M. Media desperate for clickbait.
I feel sorry for H&M.

Yes we know. You always feel sorry for them. That’s a given.

And you have to make a post saying that, with no comment on the facts in my post ? OK Hmm

My name obviously annoys you. Shame.

I don't think that that means it's not true that they asked. They wouldn't have necessarily known the departure times of AF1 - the Bidens could have been flying back later in the evening, or the next day.

I'm not saying therefore it is true. But the fact that in the end it wasn't logistically possible doesn't mean that no one asked initially.

Personally, I doubt they would've missed the private family part of the Queen's funeral, to get a lift back to somewhere 2,500 miles away. But there you go....

It would have been a great feature for the Netflix saga if they had pulled it off.

potniatheron · 20/07/2023 08:56

Not to distract too much from the AF1 hilarity, but interesting today how the separation rumours have picked up steam and are now being reported in credible mainstream places like Sky Australia and the Spectator.

Samcro · 20/07/2023 08:57

so they are not only cf, they are now splitting up.
its getting like the sun/dm on here

Hi Mumsnetters

Is this a CF or AIBU?

DH and I recently attended the funeral of an acquaintence - not a close friend but important to show our faces for social reasons as the lady was very popular and well respected. We were limited on time, as DH is not as sprightly as he used to be but is still forced to work by his organisation...I need to make sure he's OK and well looked after, etc.

As we were leaving the funeral, the lady's grandson's wife hustled up to us and demanded a lift back home with us. We wouldn't normally mind but they live 2,300 miles out of our way and jet fuel's ridiculously expensive ever since we had some issues with our CF neighbours to the east. We're also not 100% keen on the grandson's wife since every conversation you have with her ends up making its way into the parish newsletter! So I said no and he looked pretty hacked off.

Was the grandson being a CF or AIBU?

Love it. 😂

potniatheron · 20/07/2023 09:03

It's just that we have a sweepstake at work.

When the official engagement interview was aired, we clocked the body langauge and tone and most of us concluded that this was not a match made for eternity. So we chose years for divorce and put money in the pot. The pot will go to the winner's chosen charity.

I chose 2024 and my charity is Refuge (because Refuge is always my charity - not out of any shade thrown on H or M, lol). So if they can JUST HOLD OUT a little bit more until the end of the year, that's nearly £400 going to Refuge. I think it might actually be £400 - will check today.

Roussette · 20/07/2023 08:27

Given the amount of BS made up about them for headlines, why should they spend their lives doing this?
I wouldn't. I'd just ignore, I wouldn't want this crap in my head.

Well it’s a pretty big story so I would expect a firm denial .

Exactly . For all they knew the Bidens might have stayed on a while longer.

Iwantcakeeveryday · 20/07/2023 09:14

Samcro · 20/07/2023 08:07

i can't see the issue. if its true, they asked. were told no.
they can't win.

Considering the Bidens left 2 hours after the funeral when Harry and Meghan were still at the 4pm committal service, then the private burial, its unlikely to be true but also who the fuck cares?

Iwantcakeeveryday · 20/07/2023 09:15

Mylovelygreendress · 20/07/2023 09:08

is it? This is what a big story is? They asked for a ride home? People really need to get a life and perhaps actually look at real and relevant news if this is what a big story is to them.

MrsMaxDeWinter · 20/07/2023 09:15

This is a lot of rubbish.

Air Force One left soon after the Queen's funeral service.

Long before the committal service that was held that day at about 4pm.

So basically this story is saying they would have left without seeing the Queen's actual burial which was open only to family?

Come on, you may hate Meghan and Harry but do you really not know when you are being played by the tabloids?

Separately, the NY Post was forced to take down a tweet after Nacho Figueras, a friend of Harry and Meghan, pushed back on their false narrative about their marriage.

This is simply more of the same.

How horrible.

So from the moment you saw her you wrote her off and have entered a sweepstake betting on when they'll split up.

Howsimplywonderful · 20/07/2023 09:18

We’ll have to see what happens. Wasn’t Biden over recently to meet Charles. It might explain the timing.

I didn't say they would. I said that if they asked, presumably they did so before knowing when the Bidens were leaving and therefore didn't know it would mean missing part of the funeral.

Maybe that's why they didn't end up going on AF1. Maybe Biden was happy to have them, but then it turned out the timings didn't work. No one on this thread has any idea whether they asked, or whether they were told no.

Its is horrible, so horrible. You have said many times that some people took one look at her and disliked her, and here we have another example.

@potniatheron what do you mean by tone exactly?

Iwantcakeeveryday · 20/07/2023 09:21

@WeWereInParis are you suggesting they thought the Bidens were invited to the private family burial? That seems unlikely to say the least.
