Er @My2cents1975would you be so kind as to write in plain English

So very sorry...let me clarify.

Five Eyes is an intelligence sharing agreement among the US whose current Head of State is President Trump and 4 other countries (UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) whose Head of State is King Charles III
Forbes - What is Five Eyes

Norad is North American Aerospace Defense Command. It is most famous for Santa tracking at Christmas, but it monitors North American airspace and maritime approaches and defends North American airspace. The two participant nations are the US (Head of State is President Trump) and Canada (Head of State is King Charles III)
Norad Military Website

NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It has 32 member nations two of which (UK and Canada) have King Charles III as Head of State.
NATO website

By 3 letter agencies I was referring to the various intelligence services that typically have 3/4 letter acronyms such as the CIA (United States), DGSE (French), BND (German), etc.

In his capacity as Head of State, King Charles III has access to very sensitive defense information and allies need to be certain that any information on his desk is secure. Any insinuation to the contrary will be met with great scrutiny especially in this heightened security threat environment as the UK and its allies ramp up defense spending.

What Is The Five Eyes Alliance?

The Five Eyes (FVEY) alliance is an intricate web of global intelligence, a covert club that continues to redefine geopolitical landscapes. Comprising five English-speaking countries, this powerful intelligence alliance has established an unprecedented...

You see re First Lady of Nigeria , Invictus competitor , Sussex survivors' Club - this is what would worry me. SC having spoken up - will others. Now maybe not or nothing to say. but it does seem that SC is Ione of very few who have dared to say no to H. HLMTQ being the original example.

The Gwyneth Paltrow thing was really weird, I'd love to know the story behind it. Apparently, GP held a dinner party for some cashmere company, Oprah , Gayle King and Tracy Robbins among others were all there but Meghan wasn't invited.

I think Harry called in a favour from Chris Martin (or possibly Oprah) to convince GP to rectify the situation as Meghan was getting humiliated at the idea GP was taking the piss out of her (which I think she was).

I think that is possibly Harry's full time job now 😀

This, and the imperious tone used to address Dr C, is a reflection of Harry's absolute sense of entitlement and of his own importance. He is so steeped in his own privilege that he thinks he can command people to do as he says and that, of course, they will. He really does see people as subjects who should give him, and his wife, the respect he believes to be due to them. And ironically, I would say this is more the case with him than with his brother or father, especially since he became the humourless, pompous prick he is today.
It's the old truth that those who are truly classy and gracious don't think or behave as if they're better than everyone else.

What happens with these royals? Does philistinism get injected into spares at birth? Or do they absorb it in palaces because of the behaviour of fawning courtiers. If the latter, why don't they all absorb it? Perhaps William and Kate are trying to insure their children against it in Adelaide Cottage, with no live-in staff.

potsandmud · 31/03/2025 21:55

All the conspiracy theories in the world may or may not be true. But the facts are there for people to see with their own eyes. Oprah/Sentebale/RF. Ultimately two people hell bent on creating damage wherever they go. And like any narcissist they cannot be wrong!

Harry says his is a life of service. It is - to Meghan, and only Meghan.

potsandmud · 31/03/2025 22:00

You cannot deny that Harry is a deeply troubled man and has had a lifetime of trauma. And as such is vulnerable to manipulation. Even if those manipulators don’t see themselves as such. He has proven that he is not a nice guy. And narcissists hold themselves up to be nice guys. He isn’t . He’s damning his family, his birthright all of it. He has completely lost himself in search of something he will never find. I am so sorry for him. And for anyone in that class system. I know many who are washed up alcoholics and addicts with no idea how to exist.

No, Donny, I'm basic😂

Which is why being best friends with Marie would have been a great plan Grin

Remember David Cassidy? He did an interview in one of those girls' magazines like Jackie claiming he had a glass of milk and a cookie at bedtime, when in reality the poor damaged man was off his tits on coke, speed and vodka.

The great PR cover-up machine was alive and kicking in the early 1970s and a lot of the 'principals' were deeply harmed by it, as well as the public being misled. It's all too big a lie to be sustained in any remotely healthy way, including for children of the celeb.

Trump is cosying up to Putin, threatening to “have” Greenland, turn Canada into the 51st state and build hotels in razed Gaza, sending Vance out to insult all of Europe, selling Ukraine down the river.

China is about to invade Taiwan.

An earthquake has just taken almost 2000 lives in Thailand and Myanmar.

The most inhumane war rages on the Middle East.

Tariffs affecting, one way or another, the whole of the developed world are about to kick in and make 98% of the world’s population’s life significantly more expensive.

Internal politics in the USA are on an edge not seen since the Cold War.

And this ditzy wannabe is launching a lifestyle brand, showing off photos of her enjoying a life of peaceful, quiet, untrammeled luxury in a mansion in sunny California.

These two haven’t suffered bad timing. Bad shit happens all the time, everywhere. It’s these two who are always seeking public attention - their timing is inevitably going to be bad because they’re always there. It’s like standing in the middle of a 7-lane highway, complaining the risk of death is so high because the cars come so thick and fast. Get off the road and you won’t get hurt.

I was talking to someone today who believes that Trump plans to leave NATO which is why Canada and Greenland have become so important to his Imperial plan - otherwise he could rely on the usually friendly relationships with Canada and Denmark.

@potsandmud agree - great post.

Again from a previous thread, a few people have previously called out that what we see now is the 'real' Harry. A man who has the unlucky combination of being very thin-skinned and emotionally febrile. I suspect the palace PR machine did a significant amount of talking him round, to convince him that clapping back at every slight is counter-productive and largely fruitless.

His reactions now - instant, unguarded, over the top - show the difference that a good PR team makes when you follow their advice. I agree with the PP who said they need a crisis management firm; the problem is that I doubt either of them would listen. They come across as people who believe firmly they are not only right, but need to be seen and heard to be right at all costs.

I was the PP. I agree neither of them would listen. They are in such a hole that pretty much the only sensible strategy is to shut up, stay in Montecito out of sight, take steps to reconcile with their families and show some humility. One of the problems Meghan now has is that the toxicity level has gone up yet another level with the latest revelations about Harry. Because like salt and pepper they move together (!), she is further tarnished too. Are there enough people willing to buy from her to make her business viable? Has she done any market research to help her identify her target audience, understand their purchasing behaviour, and draw up a pricing strategy? Probably not. Is she just playing at being a female founder by doing things that happen to amuse her at the moment? Probably yes.

Tbf - the Nigerian senators speech could be read both ways

he’s a strange one for sure and was clearly heavily protected when still in the firm.

re pp talking about coloureds in Africa - it’s very different in Zimbabwe than in SA and they tend to be business owners/have trades as they were given preferential treatment by the whites (not over other whites obviously). After independence there was a lot of fear around their position and they were targeted by the Mugabe regime at times (now the regime aren’t fussy who they take land/businesses off). Race relations are so different between different countries.

The whole royal racist thing really backfired. I think he is hanging out in Hollywood these days so I wonder if he is writing with Meghan - I read that his UK company was dissolved late last year after receiving a compulsory strike off notice.

You're onto something there, @Lunde Omid is the author of the As Ever Instagram posts.

I've seen that too, well done Harry and Meghan, you really are full of shit about empowering women, seems to be that it's only ones who support you, neither of you deserve your titles.
I'll be interested to see which so called friends come out in support of them over the coming days.

If the latter, why don't they all absorb it? Perhaps William and Kate are trying to insure their children against it in Adelaide Cottage, with no live-in staff.

I heard that W is very sensitive about employees he trusted as child going on to selling information about his childhood to the public (The Housekeeper's Diary, Paul Burrell, etc.) so he chose Adelaide to limit staff access to the kids. No idea if this is true but seems plausible.

As for monster spares, I think the deference that adults pay to the heir feeds into childhood resentments of spares. A less balanced personality can fixate on all the advantages of being heir and discount all the strict limitations that govern heirs' lives. Princess Anne in one of her rare interviews mentioned a nanny who was fired by Prince Philip for mistreating her in favor of the then Prince Charles. Princess Anne, however, seems to be unburdened by resentment.

I was just going to post the same, I wonder if the Sussex Squad are behind it. I've read that they stop at nothing if anyone dares to say anything anti M&H , including contacting people's place of work.

BemusedAmerican · 31/03/2025 22:27

She says that in the Skye interview. That Harry unleashed the Sussex Machine. That the Sussex Machine will go after her and the 540 staff members and their families.

They are still really close, she claims he is like her brother, posts about how much she loves him, so she might help him out. Possibly some of the other friends lobbied her, maybe she did feel a tad bad at mocking her.

But I do think it is more than likely someone asked her to help out MM.

I think the whole thing between Meghan and Paltrow was a set up. Both get publicity, the same way the Meghan and mindy Sussex conversation. The common denominator was the three have something to sell, Mindy as it turns out didn't need it as her show is doing well anyway.

I am holding my fire from making up my mind completely about this issue until I know the outcome of the official enquiry.

Personally I'm more than half-expecting Harold to be exonerated.

Charity Commission has form for rolling over for royalty.

Luckily everyone else has eyes 👀

@CathyorClaire when has the CC rolled over for royalty? How interesting (but not surprising). With SC to deal with on this occasion, the CC may be unwise to exonerate Harry and the former trustees if CS's evidence is sound. She looks to me like someone who would release the evidence herself. As she doesn't move in royal-adjacent circles, she could conclude she has nothing to lose. I've been wondering what outcome the Royal family may be hoping for. He's done so much damage already that they may see this as just the latest in a long line of errors and be prepared to accept whatever outcome the CC decides.
