King Charles so proud of Princess Catherine

King Charles support of his daughter(in law) is so very touching.

Please keep the comments positive and on topic. We have all had enough vitriol for weeks now.

King Charles, who himself is being treated for cancer, says he is "so proud" of his "beloved" daughter-in-law's courage.

Possibly not that easy though if he would need permission to take his kids out of the States?

Is KC their legal guardian?

No, the King has no rights of guardianship. That's a myth based on arrangements made after Diana's divorce with the late Queen.

Safety? They aren’t unsafe. Meghan is never going to want to be in the UK again if it means any sort of family commitment. Harry will have to accept that he’s burnt his bridges and made his bed.

We don’t know that - none of us are party to conversations between different members of the RF.

I thought this board didn’t tolerate speculating about people’s marriages?

So did I, @areyoutheregod, and that seemed to be confirmed when the entire discussion about H&M was shut down for a while because there was too much speculation which apparently "wasn't in the spirit of the site"

However considering what was left to run about W&K before we knew about her cancer, it's hard not to wonder if these days it's more about tolerating whatever will drive the clicks

I know they won’t come back, but if Harry was my son, that’s what I would fervently wish. Because they seem to be making a real mess of things on their own.

Well supposedly he/they don't want to come back though do they.

It's toxic, not what they want for their kids or themselves so all good!

My point was I think where they are now, physically and metaphorically, is beyond toxic.

I suspect we can chat about almost anything we like as long as we are polite to one another and don’t report constantly. There maybe some legal barriers but mostly, it’s “us”preventing this from being an open exchange.

They are in a rather dire position if you ask me. I do not expect reconciliation but I think it would be better for them and for the family if they were back in UK for a bit and away from what’s going on around them in US.

The past month has not been good. Visa application review, name-checked in a lawsuit alleging Harry has been sued as bait by a drug and human trafficker. Kardashians at the door. The online trolling of their family which, much of which is done in their name, none of which benefits them one iota.

It's all a bit dog eat dog isn't it but then that's how it is in showbiz land.

I'm not sure the public would welcome them back, I think a number of people think he is an absolute plonker

Oh I didn’t mean the moderators, they leave that stuff up. When I went back through threads I saw a lot similar about M & H. There was absolute outrage on here that people speculated about K & W though, from posters. That’s what I’m referring to. Posters do the same to all of them, and I said it was wrong to do on a thread about K & W and I think it’s wrong to do to H & M too. They all have young children and it just seems mean to sit around gleefully waiting for people to break up.

I've seen it about both marriages, tbh, it's never pleasant nor acceptable comment in my view.

Salemforcuddles · 29/03/2024 11:52

Let's see how ARO goes, if that's a failure then they might want to come back

I think they have deleted it about H&M but never about W&K. I don’t want to engage in it myself but am shocked by what was left to stand going back several years. Really crude stuff.

It always made me wonder if there were legal reasons behind it. I don’t think KP pursues this kind of talk but Harry would.

come back to what though? They don’t have a house here and none of the RF will want to give them the time of day. How would they earn money? It won’t be as easy as in the US. It would all be worse than before they left. I don’t think they’ll ever do that.

Salemforcuddles · 29/03/2024 12:43

I said " might". Plenty of accommodation here, might not to be up to their standard though, I don't think their first cottage was

I agree - there's not much of a living to be made here unless they become working royals again, and nobody wants that. H+M would look like huge hypocrites after all they have said about the RF, Charles would look weak, their discretion is doubted, they are too unpopular to be an attractive proposition for the RF, and the management of the relationships would probably be a nightmare.

Plus Meghan's latest venture is literally named after where they live, so it doesn't look like coming back is on their radar at all. Or hers at least.

AliceOlive · 29/03/2024 13:20

As long as KC is living he would surely give them accommodation, security and a stipend. He’s doing that much for his brother. No, I don’t think they’d reconcile with William and family. Nor do I think they could be involved in any royal engagements in the next few years. The public would not have it.

ARO seems to have only been in the works for a few weeks. It’s not clear if it will ever be more than we see now. I have a great deal of empathy for Meghan on that count, actually. But I don’t think that would be the thing that holds them there.

They could have privacy, travel and just be bon vivants. Long term, I think this is what will happen if they don’t find a way to financially sustain themselves.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 29/03/2024 14:39

I think it’s perfectly fine to say that Meghan and Harry are not likely to grow old together, considering the absolute toxicity on here about Williams sexual preferences, alleged affair and a lot more besides, contemplating that M&H are unlikely to last is an extremely mild comment in comparison and a perfectly valid view to express.

I doubt very much Charles will want them in a property owned by the crown with staff paid for by taxpayers.

Who knows what will happen or what Charles will want

Harry was skiing with Corey Gamble, close friend of P Diddy and boyfriend of Kris Jenner (mother of the kardashians/and Jenners) on the evening he was to present the Diana Awards. He turned up at midnight to meet with the award recipients via video.

How does he meet these people I wonder?

Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar · 29/03/2024 17:42

Doria is friends with or friendly with Kris Jenner.

ArcaneWireless · 29/03/2024 18:41

I can only see that being a useful connection if she had a video to ‘leak’.

Other than that? I’m not so sure it was the moon they were hoping to shoot for.

I imagine Doria is smart and savvy so maybe I’m missing something. One can never have too many connections it would seem.
