See all these wise posters, lots of what we have said has been ‘confirmed’ by other sources

One senior Hollywood publicist tells me: 'First of all, everyone industry-wide, EVERYONE reads The Hollywood Reporter. It's really striking that WME did not stop this running.'
She adds: 'WME normally – you would think – would have been threatening and denying access to other stars. Was this done here?

Thats exactly what we all thought! it’s strange how they are letting this stuff out.

As we have all seen in recent days, the dark art of covering up and killing stories- look at Al Fayed and what he got away with. So WME have done nothing???

Also, Harry attending an event in his own because Meghan is sick. No. This is part of separating their ‘brands’- I doubt she will attend any future events like these with Harry.

Seems like the wheels are falling off to me!

No casual family out and about photos are ever gaken and so they must either just stay holed up at home or they are simply not subject to the media interest over there that they claim they are

Not seeing the kids much works just fine for me since I'm not keen on anyone's being plastered all over the media, but as you say they can't have it both ways and either the "horrible paps" are everywhere or they're not

Unfortunately though, having it both ways is what they always seem to expect, and with Harry in particular seeing folk stampeding towards the latest narrative about his being "a statesman" is sickening

Just goes to show how very gullible some of the public are though ...

Agree, it’s seems off.

That two people that talk a lot about parenting, are never seen with their kids and are often away from them.

Archie seemed to be in nursery from a very young age too. Despite having both parents at home.

I do think that H and M will have an issue in the future when Archie and lili are old enough to see photos of their cousins in carriages etc etc

Yes she was very quick to put him into nursery.

Particularly when we don’t really know too much about the Kings health. Not that we should, but it’s not altogether a shocking thought that he wont be around for years and years.

That Archie and Lili never really got to meet him and their cousins did, will hurt

It wouldn't be so bad if they'd completely stepped away from that sort of life, bought a lovely ranch in Montana or something. No titles for any of them. They could have had a beautiful life, well away from 'the media' with genuine freedom for their children. People would have respected them for their values.

But the fact that they've cut the children off from the Royal family entirely, giving them no chance to know their cousins etc. And yet they've also insisted on their titles, the children being prince and princess in that soulless LA mansion, trying (and having failed miserably) to set themselves up as US Royals.

Clearly they've not considered the children in any of this. It's such a silly, empty life they've set themselves up with. They've ended up looking foolish, vacuous, desperate, clueless, attention-seeking, untruthful, lacking in integrity, unremarkable, unimaginative and, well, a bit chavvy really. They put me in mind of someone from Made in Chelsea marrying someone from The only way is Essex.

I’m sure the kids will appreciate being brought up in a beautiful place like Monticeito but being hidden away, not being allowed to see family, limited and tightly controlled trips away from home, security following them everywhere, parents frequently away leaving them with the nanny, not being allowed explore their British heritage, never mind all the stuff they will read about their parents when they are old enough (dictator in heels, frozen todger) and finding out Harry sold out his family for cash.

That’s going to hit M&H hard in a few years time.

Shameful to come to the UK this week and not bring his children to see his elderly father who has cancer. What a wicked pair he and Meghan are. These things so often come back full circle though, wouldn't be suprised if one day their children turn their backs on them. Not that they'll still be together by then.

They put me in mind of someone from Made in Chelsea marrying someone from The only way is Essex.

The irony is @Alectoishome that Meghan was trying to get in as a cast member to Made In Chelsea before she met Harry. She was very keen apparently and had befriended Millie Mackintosh who was on the show. Another friend, used and ghosted when she was no longer useful.

Its extraordinary how aggressively 'on the make' she was. I did watch an interview with the woman she'd hired to find her eligible English bachelors to meet. The woman was trying to hook her up with Ashley Cole 😂 but then I think Megan's tireless networking took off and she managed to get into a set on the periphery of Eugenie's circles and so she ghosted this woman, she'd set her sights higher.

Those children have certainly not Found Freedom. As @Alectoishome observed, if they had really taken a step back and lived in the wilds, everyone would have supported them. But this life is seeking out attention. Does Harry want this cloistered life for his family?

I suppose even if Harry did want to bring the dc to see their grandfather, thd Palace would have to be on huge alert for Harry making either money or misery out of any meet-up.

It will be interesting when the kids know who they are. And more importantly are able to Google all this stuff.

A very young William was told by a school chum he was heir to the thrown and would be King one day.

Until that point he didn't know. He went home and told his mum who confirmed it. Fair Play to Diana and Charles wanting him to have a 'normal' childhood without that chip on his shoulder.

I suppose even if Harry did want to bring the dc to see their grandfather, thd Palace would have to be on huge alert for Harry making either money or misery out of any meet-up.

There were rumours that KC3 was really angry that PH/MM shared info on a personal interaction with him and A&L via FaceTime on his recent birthday - which showed PH/MM had no boundaries on what family info they will share.....except of course their own immediate family of 4 info....seems they are happy to share and associate with anything royal in the hope of more $$$$.

Did anyone see any leaks about a What's App birthday message?

There are rumours that KC would like to reconnect to A&L.

At a personal level he must be feeling torn if it's true H leaked the What's App, so Charles still can't trust him but he wants to see his DGC.

I do feel for KC3. I saw very little of my nephews growing up as my brother is a bit of an arse and that has always made me sad. It's also hurtful to think someone doesn't want you in your dc's life.
I do wonder if H is basically keeping the dcs away from his df as a kind of blackmail to sort out the security situation.

I know people seem to think that Charles must be pining for a visit from his grandchildren, I get the impression he is not that kind of grandfather, I imagine he is not too bothered either way, maybe a cursory short visit here and there and the big family visits to Balmoral and Sandringham, I think William once said something about his kids not seeing Charles that often.

Charles is no Michael Middleton, that's for sure.

It could well be that - I wouldn't put it past them. But another reason might be that Harry/Meghan insist that they film or photograph a meeting between KC and the children, and of course, KC won't allow that.

It does just seem that Harry regards opportunities for a meeting with his father as simply a chance to get more fuel/material for his exposes (sorry - can't put an accent on that!). And as pps have said, he can't be trusted with private conversations. It's sad for Charles, but sadder for the children. And yes - M and H will have some VERY awkward questions to answer in a decade or maybe less. They must have no imagination or understanding of children/family dynamics if they haven't foreseen that.

In contrast, it just makes me realise that (apart from Catherine's ill health) the 3 royal children are very lucky indeed, particularly to have nice, regular grandparents (and presumably an uncle and aunt) in their lives in the shape of the Middletons.

Yes and William will always try and make sure he is there for them.

Remember when Harry in Spare moaned that on the night before his wedding, William chose not to stay with him but go back to Catherine and the children (inc baby Louis)

Show's you the difference between William and Harry. William spends very little time away from his kids, unlike his brother off galavanting.

I removed that and H and M supporters thought it was terrible that W chose to stay with his wife and children ( including a newborn) rather than pander to his brother .

Exactly.
I do think though many people do this, DH and I were the first in both our families to have children and out of the 4 siblings we have between us, 2 of them moaned about us not socialising enough or doing overnighter/weekend away stuff. We had two under two, and then three under four. They were welcome round anytime!
Now, fifteen years later those two both have families of their own and when I've skirted the issue of the big strops they had, ranty texts and complaining to parents etc.. they look very sheepish now when I've hinted at those occasions. They get it now!

Remember not remove 🤦‍♀️

Notable too that, in Catherine's "I've finished chemo" video, we saw them doing the happy family thing with her parents but nothing at all with Charles and Camilla

Obviously the main focus was on Catherine and they're not her parents, but even so ...

I thought that too.

The part when she mentions others going through a cancer fight etc, I thought we might have seen Charles
