They want a british education for the kids!

Which is why Harry was never allowed to meet Thomas Markle or Uncle Mike and why Thomas couldn't be allowed to attend the wedding. He wouldn't have followed the script.

Thomas Markle didn't fit the required look for the Wedding let alone anything else. No way do Meghan want him there amongst all those A list Hollywood celebrities.

It had to be her alone - solo, poor bride, strong bride, independent bride showing the world how FAB-u-LOUS she was . This was the moment she had waited for and thought she had it all.

Duke of Sussex  : "potentially initiate a partial return to the royal fold"

There’s now an article in People magazine saying that:

“Most people were astounded that Harry came,” one of the reported 300 attendees tells PEOPLE. “He was on remarkably good form — and you could tell he was very pleased to see everybody. And he was very pleased that he had come over.”

And

A close source suggests," Given everything that has gone on with the family's health, I suspect he wants to spend time with people. He is very close to his mother's side of the family.”

The article is credited to Simon Perry, a People journalist who also accompanied Meghan and harry to Nigeria earlier this year.

Interestingly The Sun and the Mail had requests in their initial stories urging people who had seen the brothers to get in contact with them. Seemingly, no-one has. Yet an American magazine has had a “close source” come to them for an exclusive.

The Spencers have never publicly spoken about William and Harry and their estrangement. They let their attendances at events do the talking, it seems. And it does seem a little odd that a likely congregation of some 300 royal establishment, civil service, City of London and family representatives would naturally decide that it was to an American magazine that they would speak and grant an exclusive.

How nice though that the story they gave to one of Meghan and Harry’s close journalists contacts was one that enabled Harry to burnish his reputation by using his uncle’s memorial service as a chance to make himself look good. Who could the source have been, we wonder….

Bless you Smile. I just heard Sir Rod on the radio belting out his classic 🎶. I didn't even have to change many of the words in my head, and I dedicate it to you.

Wake up, Meggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you
September's here and I'm really tired of stupid tours
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
Oh, Meggie, I couldn't have tried any more

You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts

The mornin' sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes, you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love, you didn't need to coax
Oh, Meggie, I couldn't have tried any more

You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover, and mother, what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning, kick me in the head
Oh, Meggie, I couldn't have tried any more

You led me away from home
'Cause you didn't wanna be alone
You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my things and get on back to friends
Or ring my daddy's phone and beg a little to make amends
Or find myself a charity brand that needs a helpin' hand
Oh, Meggie, I wished I'd never seen your face

You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway

Meggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days
Ooh, ooh, ooh

😂😂

Here we go, the super fans out in force with the usual nonsensical arguments looking for a bit of attention

Twisty, its rather flattering to suggest these posters are presenting 'arguments'.

The parrots are squawking, more like.

@AutumnCrow Brava! 😂

Re the QM's money. I think he's due more than William (that's what's always been said) and can imagine the lion's share going to them rather than other gt grandchildren (I'm not a massive QM fan, TBH) but I doubt it will be a huge amount even if well invested. Well, it would probably be a huge amount to most of us, but we don't have 16 bathrooms and a 24/7 security detail.

I had read that it is a staged payment and he has already had some and this is the final bit - about 6 million.

Snowflakeslayer · 02/09/2024 19:23

Does he still have any friends?

Mt61 · 02/09/2024 19:25

I think it won’t be too long until we see divorce headlines (have a soft spot for Harry), always have

thecrossIambearing · 02/09/2024 19:25

Ooh who will I be friends with - the future King or the court jester?

PaulinBrighton · 02/09/2024 19:26

The only reason any of this bothers me is because these parasites think they can still take our money for being born lucky, shaking hands and doing private deals. Sink or swim but earn your own pay and pay your own way through life. Don't expect others to pay for your lifestyle as a taxation handout.

To keep it slightly OT I assume Harry is pissed off because the establishment won't let him prove who his really father is 😆

Edited

The headline makes out he gave a speech. But no, his "emotional tribute" was just turning up! And having a jolly old time talking to other people at a memorial service to the extent that he's pleased with himself! What a completely tone deaf article. The man died, and it's all about Harry's feelings yet again.

Fellowes wasn't much of a fan of Diana iirc - she lied to him about her cooperation with Andrew Morton, leading him to tender his resignation as private secretary to the Queen (which she refused). As one of the greyest of the men in grey, I can't imagine Harry was that fond of him. I bet he had to spin quite a few of Harry's scrapes over the years.

How would the late Queen have said, "Jog on, Harry"? "Jawg oyn, Herry."

“Feck orf” I think.

What utter nonsense. Harry is clearly Charles's son and Philip's grandson - they have the same eyes.

There is never one side to a story is there, personally I like them both and I’m sick of the press propaganda and everyone who believes it.

I find it hard to understand how anyone can like liars. Surely you understand their own words are not propaganda.

CathyorClaire · 02/09/2024 19:50

Wonder if QM ever envisaged it getting hoovered up by a bunch of security goons and a moneypit?

Portakalkedi · 02/09/2024 19:52

I don't think she will be wanting a separation at least until AFTER he comes into the millions left for him by his grandmother when he turns 40 (at least that's what I read the other day).

CoffeandTiaMaria · 02/09/2024 20:13

Isn’t there a three book deal that’s yet to be completed? I thought that there was enough material for Spare2 left over? And Meghan’s supposedly writing her memoire which will presumably need to have shocking revelations à la Spare in order to generate income?
Anything these two do has to have $$$$ attached to it and I greatly suspect they’re desperate for things to exploit to their advantage. I sincerely hope Harry stays where he is, I can’t imagine how anyone in the royal family would ever trust him again.

I don’t think they will write more, folks are sick of it. Scobies book showed that, it just back fires on them,

if they divorce Megan will do a book/

People have been predicting a divorce for years - It's surprising the marriage has lasted this long.

The gloves will definitely be off if they do get divorced, there will be talk shows galore by Meghan.

I find it hard to understand how anyone can like liars. Surely you understand their own words are not propaganda.

@Getonwitit the difficulty I have is that there are always three sides, their side, the other side and the actual facts of the situation. The press have spent so much time enthusiastically trashing them and portraying the monarchy’s version as facts, who knows what’s true anymore. I’m just sick of it all and there are surely more important things to focus on like improving our education system, funding our NHS, looking after our SEN children etc to go on about them.

shufflestep · 02/09/2024 20:27

I have wondered how much this article edition.cnn.com/2013/07/03/health/royal-baby-appearance/index.html and ones like it may have been the foundation for the racism story. Fitting in with what Harry said, Kate could have brought it up with him pointing out that if that was what she and William got, Harry and Meghan might need to be prepared for worse?

Not racist, but trying to prepare him. Then he reported back to Meghan without this sort of article as context, and she reacts to what she has understood, but without the background to the comments.

Is there anything in particular stopping you going ahead and focussing on all that important stuff?
