First thread here

Shall we continue the discussion? I will not be engaging with the posters spouting damaging and unfounded gossip

Idk but wasn’t it People Magazine, which was allowed to accompany H&M. If so, that doesn’t look good…

That's interesting. I wonder what prompted the decision.

IIRC PN served his homemade dressing to visitors who would tell him you should sell this so he did. It was a novelty at the time and people were surprised it was really good. He was clearly a decent genuine person so saw it as a way to so some good for charity as he was already wealthy from a successful career.
Meanwhile H and M are already incredibly wealthy from his inherited wealth but apparently want to sell merchandise to be even richer despite claiming to be philanthropists.

Writing inspirational affirmations on bananas, taking the credit for other peoples' work, and trying to recruit people into their mental health MLM count as philanthropy to these people.

Who the hell is going to give their hard earned cash to the two wallopers??

And they are too shallow to understand how shallow all this is!

The only salad they have is word salad and it sounds like this - me, me, me, waaaaaaa, me, waaaaaa, me, me, Diana, waaaa, me,me,me, me, waaaaaaaaa !

This on my popbitch email this evening

Sunak's closest aide placing bets on the election is funny – but which minor royal has apparently placed an even spicier bet? They've got money riding on the date that Harry and Meghan are going to

That’s awful.

I don't think any of the Royal family would do something like that. It's awful.

That’s horrible if true.

I think that's unlikely to come to pass.

The RF is very busy with the "summer season" (starts roughly with the Chelsea Flower Show in late May, through all the garden parties, The Derby, Trooping the Colour, Royal Ascot, Wimbledon etc) then they all leave for Balmoral where they stay almost entirely out of sight for the rest of July and all of August.

So there is a good 6 weeks when clashing is very, very unlikely. And it's entirely predictable, as they do it every single year.

Doesn’t sound like a very nice source and hope it’s not true.

I hope it’s not true. Rumours are circulating on X about them separating and it’s awful and I just don’t believe it. He’s too in love with her.

I do know that Prince William visited MI6 this past week (has appeared in the Court Circular apparently). Could be just part of his King to be training or it could be that they had intelligence to share with him. I hope so, and I hope that he shows that he and his family are not to be messed with.

It's part of his training as future Head of State, and with his father's illness, William will have to be briefed. The intelligence services will appraise him of certain developments.
It's fortunate that William is trustworthy and unlikely to sell information for money and kudos.

If they had intelligence to share with the PoW presumably they do that discreetly, rather than inviting him for an official, on-the-record public engagement?

No, it's usual to publish official meetings.
Other information comes through the red dispatch boxes or PM briefings.

He may be in love with her, but it’s really about what she wants and always has been. I saw H described as her ‘ginger poodle’ and I thought that just about summed it up. She will want to rehome him sooner or later. Then we will get lots of interviews about how she struggled to keep the marriage together despite his weed problem and unreasonable behaviour . Etc etc.

He is useful if more “royal tours” come to pass. If his usp is down the drain then so will he be. Although, if past performance is an indicator of future behaviour, Meghan will not move on unless she has an upgrade.

Although it wouldn’t totally surprise me , I hope it isn’t true . There are 2 small children plus I think it would completely tip Harry over the edge .

On the other hand it might turn things around with his family and his friends.

Indeed . He would need a lot of support . But can you imagine Meghan’s interviews/books etc ?
Hopefully they will stay together .

I don’t think it would as he would blame the RF for the split.

Agree with this, if they stay together it will because Meghan wants it, as soon he is no longer of any use to her it’s game over for Harry, it won’t happen for some time yet as Harry will be useful for another 10 years, at which point Charlotte and George will be reaching adulthood and will be the headline grabbers, Harry and Meghan will be in their fifties and losing their gloss (sorry sounds ageist but that’s the reality particularly in Hollywood) a divorce announcement then would bring all the attention, drama and money back onto Meghan, it will be utter carnage.
