It would not surprise me if they are kept on the side line of the A-List circle at least M seems so desparate to be a part of.
H&M seem far too indiscreet. And while they are currently "only" attacking the RF, who says they wouldn't turn on anyone who H&M perceive to have slighted them.

Didn’t they fall out hugely with the beckhams, Megan decided Victoria was leaking stories on them and Harry then called David and made rhe accusation. Then Harry blanked him to due to the suspicion

is there no one they haven’t accused of leaking stories on them?

Maerchentante · 13/12/2023 21:19

I don't know about the Beckhams. But like usual: If everyone around you seems to be the problem, maybe it's a "You" problem rather than a "Them" problem.

It seems to be widely reported. They seem to have lost a lot of friends to be honest. I’m guessing others will have been accused of leaking, that we don’t know about, and of course the family and staff.

it does seem it is an issue they both have. I can’t for one movement imagine Victoria beckham leaking stories on them.

I also wonder how many other UK celebs are going to come out of the woodwork now Paddy McGuiness has started talking

What has Paddy McGuiness said??

wildernesssw · 13/12/2023 21:30

How can the RF make a statement about a conversation about Archie's skin colour until they know what the conversation was?

Chouxpastryishard · 13/12/2023 21:30

Harry just sounds like a total prat.

ArcaneWireless · 13/12/2023 21:31

That H allegedly ripped down a poster of his gran as he ‘didn’t want her ‘looking’ at him and his antics.

Fine giving the world the image of him slathering cream on his peeling knob while thinking of his mam though. 🌱

More likely the blanking was the other way round. David Beckham knows William through the FA, doesn't he. On a personal and professional level, that's a far better contact for the Beckhams to maintain.

Wonder if it was b&w so they're doing something else.

If it's true, that is. Wink

Haha they will be rushing to do something different if so. Something that says look how colourful and bright we are - Christmas jumpers?

Just found an article online that detailed the whole thing. Either there are an awful lot of people around H&M that leak stories left, right and centre. Or maybe all those stories stem from the same source, Honi soit qui mal y pense...

Matching Christmas pyjamas, just to show how "normal" they are.

The fallout is often given as the reason H+M weren't invited to Brooklyn's wedding. But the relationship with William is also a good point. I think DB has also been involved with Williams mental health initiative and Earthshot. W+C reportedly were invited to the wedding.

But I would have thought the only picture of the Queen with Lili would have been taken by the Queen’s photographer. Surely the Queen and her advisers would have been savvy enough not to let the Sussexes take pictures they could then use in one of their anti RF projects.

Nichola Peltz is a daughter of a billionaire, I wonder if they regret the falling out?

I wonder if it is a legal challenge, I would imagine there are rules about sharing such photos.

If they are sharing it I imagine it is to remind people of the link. The photo with the late Queen and all her grandchildren minus the Sussexs is used regularly.

Talk about selling your own grandmother……

I thought they had been denied taking a picture of ‘Lilibet meeting Lilibet’

@Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar I love the vintage read too! So soothing and well researched! She even manages to be kind to the Sussexes (at times)

She’s great isn’t she. Fabulous voice, and I bet she’d be a real laugh over a few glasses of vino!

I think MM made a decision to not talk about or refer to the RF, publicly at least, after the Netflix thing. She hasn’t said anything about them or that part of her life, she’s left it all to Harry. Notably absent during the Spare promos, didn’t stop in the UK on the way to invictus - just nothing (other than her titles and obviously her children getting their ‘birthright’ Prince / Princess titles). She’s been roundly rejected by the British public and by the RF, and I’m pretty sure she would have hated being relegated and ignored as she was during the platinum jubilee festivities and HMQ’s funeral. She knows she’s lost this battle. If she does speak about it again, she will make out as though she’s evolved from it, moved beyond, left it all behind - that she’s left the old fashioned dross behind and has newer, fancier things to do. It’s Harry’s family drama, not hers.

Of course, she’s never one to let hypocrisy stand in her way (Eg clinging onto titles for dear life, claiming them for her DC because “birthright”, or acknowledging with even the slightest humility that she’s only where she is now because of who she married). And given what we know about her ruthless approach to her own family, you can only imagine how she might be towards her in-laws (Charles she’ll suck up to until his dying day because he can do the most damage, cutting off any remaining purse strings/inheritance).

Oh god, I hope they aren’t making a very private photo like that public; it is deeply distasteful, and it really will be the end for them.

The article states that their request to bring their own photographer was denied. (I mean are we even surprised by that at this point?!) But I suppose a personal photo could have been taken. Who knows, only one site has picked up the story so possibly not enough to run with it.

The end was long ago as far as the RF are concerned. Their boats are well and truly burnt.

No sorry I didn’t mean with the family specifically, but the public globally, there would be no way back from it if they start trying to re enforce their royal connections by publishing something so private.

maybe that’s why it’s delayed. They have been advised not to.
