As Ever #2 Whatever

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

I noticed the old thread is almost full so thought we could start a new one to carry on the discussion about the rebrand and merching.

Are you an ‘As Ever’ or ‘Whatever’?

I thought they had dropped the Mountbatten-Windsor surname and their surname is now Sussex?

Yes, and Archie is a Prince. Inspite of them telling Oprah he'd get no title because of his skin colour.

I'm seeing Hyacinth Bucket 😎

Don't forget the staff expenses includes the Global Chief of Staff of the Office of the Duke and Duchess. Presumably this person has minions also.

Oooh maybe Meghan can have a candle light supper with her Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles.

Honestly, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor sounds way cooler than Prince Archie.

I hope the name doesn't die because George's children would be Princes and Princesses.

Louis' might as well if/when William becomes King

That only leaves Edward's son James

His skin colour?

@CathyorClaire ha ha - In my defence I have always been a table lamp preferrer as was my mother and it's always , not just for visitors.

In Meghanese I am distressed by some of the criticisms and hurtful comparisons made of me when all I am doing is being my authentic self and as ever bringing joy through subdued lighting . This has always been me. Lamps are my jam.

@PrettyFlyforaMaiTai well she’s channelling Hyacinth in finally achieving a swimming pool & room for a pony :).

Hyacinth ( Patricia Routeledge was 96 a few days ago .
Apologies for derail.
( I loved Keeping Up Appearances)

It's all a bit #pippatips

Seriously wonder if she is actually taking the piss....

Can anyone recall talk that she’d been married twice but the first marriage was annulled so technically was only married once? I haven’t seen recent reference to it but it’s in a dusty recess in my mind

I’ve seen this floating about social media and cannot unsee it 🤦🏼‍♀️

That sounds like one of those silly internet rumours.

It's not the Tudor era. Marriages don't get 'annulled' in contemporary California.

If the Netflix series features a riparian picnic then we know she's Hyacinth. And Harry will make a brilliant Onslow. (Except Onslow does actually read books.)

I don't believe the annulment rumour but modern marriages do get annulled. I know at least a couple of people who have had an annulment (Catholics).

I'm not sure about that. Britney's 55hr marriage to some bloke was annulled in 2004 and Axl Rose had his 10 month marriage annulled in the 90s. Both in California I believe.

Phone for the fish knives, Harry,
As cook is a little unnerved;
You kiddies have crumpled the serviettes
And I must have things daintily served.

And I wonder if that is the info that got quashed in the German doc. To protect a minor.

Meghan alway strikes me like she's acting out Julia Roberts circa 1990s. The smile, the way she talks. But she comes across as fake.

And Harry is not just dim but sly. Have people forgotten when he told fake Greta that having a charity is an easy way to make money?

The reference in the telegraph was of Julia Roberts character in Notting Hill

You're right, it occasionally happens but it's very rare. There would also be some sort of legal record. Why would Meghan get an annulment? And would nobody have blabbed to the press by now? There would surely be big money in it.

I notice that in the latest video she’s done she seems to be imitating Gwynneth Paltrow. It’s a very similar look.

I'm afraid the preserve's full of stones...

Shouldn't have branched out from strawberry, I suppose
