I’m sure PA is absolutely fizzing mad. She does all the hard yards for them and then they decide the photo ops with those clowns is a better bet.

I doubt it TBH ... in a long life she'll have seen her share of tossers, and among those who count a tacky attempt at self promotion doesn't detract from decades of solid work

Hopefully one scoof from the poisoned chalice will have them thinking on lifesabeachbaby

Not all publicity is good. Despite what some think.

Princess Anne has far more class than to let on although I hope her next visit features the plume. Heavily.

I’d be commissioning a repeated pattern fabric for a new frock.

"La Plume de ma Tante" 😂that feather did the Lord's work!

It still tickles me. 😁

Like the Obamas? This is so far fetched. I'd like to know one single thing Harry and Meghan have in common with the Obamas. There literally is nothing but what they lack the most is true inner 'class', which was Barack and Michelle USP. B&M are very classy in how they behave and present themselves. With good character, old fashioned values mixed with progressiveness etc. Michelle was positively loved by the world partly because she didn't come across as full of herself but as wise and modest but strong.

In contrast Meghan and Harry have managed to alienate everyone that meant something to them at one time, family and friends. Harry is full of self pity and Meghan desperate for any scrap of media attention. Meghan is contrived, Michelle super classy. H&M couldn't be more different to the Obamas if they tried, frankly.

Meghan has already attacked and fallen out with one world class institution as well as cut ties with all friends and family. Can you imagine her in a leading political role with actual influence 😱.

They are are both married couples?

TheTallestSally · 18/05/2024 13:42

I am wondering if STC Nigeria was pressured to meet them. Isn't Misan Harriman connected with them? Or they just showed up with Mishan and the camera crew. It would take a brave person to slam the door in their faces.

Yes. Missan Harriman is a global ambassador for STC in Nigeria. I pointed out the coincidence that he is their photographer both at home (he did the shot under the tree in the garden) and on this “tour” to one of our helpful Sussex supporters (now deleted) and was told in no uncertain terms that this was not relevant 😂😂

That is brilliant @TheTallestSally 😂

I remember that @smilesy interesting that we’ve had zero response or feedback from my tagged post to HQ earlier on. Even though it’s making the website look like a complete farce at times.

HQ let all the threads about Catherine and William stand, so I wouldn't hold out much hope.

You tube algorithm came up with this recently for me about Obama's - no idea why.

I couldn't see anyone handing Meghan a crying baby - even though she is a mother - let along either Harry of Meghan being as gracious about it.

I've recently seen lots about the recent really happy' and 'doing great interview Meghan gave - at same time lots about Harry looked unhappy on third day of trip and rumour from allegedly hotel staff of massive argument. Long days hot weather and lot of pressure often lead to arguments.

It must be exhausting trying to counter every rumour going and can more and more see why RF let so much wash over them.

Obama Makes Baby Stop Crying

President Obama is handed a crying baby from First Lady Michelle, and it immediately stops crying. The look he gives Michelle is priceless in this lightheart...

Just copying this comment as it seems as good a summary of the situation as any I could come up with.

"Nigeria is a very rich country from oil and gas. I’m sure Meghan and Harry think they can make a lot of money by connecting with very rich business people there for joint "projects" - especially as Meghan claims to be almost half Nigerian. And there will be rich business people who will no doubt feel Harry and Meghan can give them special legitimacy in the US and UK. The problem is - Nigeria is also notoriously corrupt at high level and I can’t help feeling Harry and Meghan are going to get themselves in trouble sooner or later if they aren’t very careful."

Exactly!

He does not look happy here, awkward and a bit humiliated. I reckon he is becoming surplus to requirement.

The Fail reckons Meghan is eyeing up the Oval Office.

Oh my she doesn't give a shit on this occasion does she? Where is her usual guiding arm? She's buoyed up by a couple of days with this false idolatry and she's sucked up by it all. Princess Me.

TheTallestSally · 18/05/2024 15:17

The claw was replaced by the shopper’s elbow.

Someone has no respect for the principles of hereditary monarchy it would seem.

DelectableMe · 18/05/2024 15:23

So she's either grabbing his hand, clinging on to him or elbowing him out the way?
Loved the airport pics where she's marching ahead like he doesn't exist!

I kind of hope she goes for it. It’ll be absorbing bread & circuses stuff.

But not even the more unhinged of the Democrats would pick her.

And as an Independent candidate, who’s going to give her the $100m plus that’s needed - Putin and Xi, under the table? With unstable motormouth Harry looking on? I think Putin probably loves the uncertainty that H&M create around them though.

Where did you read about the supposed argument?

MummyJ12 · 18/05/2024 15:49

Thanks so much @myrtleWilson, @DelectableMe and @Abouttimeforanamechange.
I have been on threads before that have tagged and they’ve given quite a speedy response but I suppose it all depends on the thread and the board in question. It seems that they don’t care about anything as trivial as fraudulent posters!

AliceOlive · 18/05/2024 16:08

The democrats will always pick someone they believe can win. Thus Biden and now Biden again despite all other logic. The name recognition will have out ranked everything else.

Meghan would need to run for office and win a few times before they would consider her. I don’t think they would even do so then, no matter how much of a war chest. Simply because she does not have any name recognition here. At best, she’s Prince Harry’s wife to most people.

DelectableMe · 18/05/2024 16:10

She won't run for political office. You need to be resilient, energetic and mentally tough.

I wonder how she would brand herself if she ran. When she called our senators she introduced herself as Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.

Meghan Sussex sounds awkward to me. Meghan Markle would be better but not sure she wants to maintain any ties to that name.

@DelectableMe you may be right but does have the self knowledge?
