And just skimming throough...... Andrew had 'a communication channel' with the President of China??

Don’t skim, because it seems that the government and HMTLQ were well aware of that and saw it as useful

I'm trying to get my head round it. I've just seen that it is with the support of QE2 and the govt. I thought royals were meant to be apolitical... or was he just their useful idiot?

Andrew sending birthday cards to the President of China...

I love that thought! What a couple they would have made.

Hit ad hell! 😆

Totally off topic (sorry) but one last Helen Mirren thought. She used to go out with the foxy LiamNeeson in the 80’s. I bet they were like tigers stalking each other. 🥵

Have you seen her in Red with Bruce Willis
she was amazing

PoppysAunt · 04/04/2025 17:58

I saw her on stage in Antony and Cleopatra, with Alan Rickman. Electrifying.

Totally amazing! She is amazing in most everything she does especially in The Queen. She was magnificent (whether you likes the Royals or not 😆)

OMG am beyond jealous. Alan Rickman was beyond gorgeous and equally brilliant in everything he did. He appeared in a music video with Sharleen from Texas. It was almost as on par as Helen Mirren and Liam Neeson!

Why the comment?
I am not a fan, I have never pretended to be. I don’t dislike either of them. I don’t think they deserve the hate they get.

You posted a picture of a emoji crown 👑 with a picture of Meghan on another thread, I don’t understand why you would do that if you aren’t a fan? let alone your prolific posts defending them, it’s not really surprising that posters come to that conclusion.

TulipTiptoer · 04/04/2025 18:06

This new furore about Andrew is on the 6 o'clock news. It is not going away however much the Institution would like to undoubtedly bury it

My absolute last one about Helen Mirren I promise but have you seen The Debt where she plays a Mossad Agent? I strongly recommend if not. If I want to say anything more about Helen I’ll start my own thread.

Well yes. It was the result of a BBC request for information, so it’s bound to be on their news. The birthday wishes etc was not a secret and it was seen as a useful channel to have open with China. AFAIK, China, however they may be viewed in terms of human rights etc, are not currently an enemy of the UK. The main problem here is that Andrew has been taken in by someone who is a spy for China (even non enemies spy on each other of course), which, given his previous misadventures with Epstein, again show that he is a prat. If you read the report carefully though, it doesn’t seem that Andrew has done anything wrong. It does, however, reinforce his supreme belief in his own importance and how easy it is to flatter his ego, which is a security risk in itself

Should you warn the sussex squad fans as you seem so concerned about it?

You have said it's cheap and tacky about ten times now! I think we've got the message.....

Ha!

All the focus on H & M - where's the outrage against Andrew?

I'm British lived in UK my entire life.

I'm quite well educated and read widely including news papers - I know the role the crown holds in our mostly unwritten constitution I also know a lot of histroy. I know who the RF and what they think their role is and what it actually is.

I suspect it's not my understanding that you really taking issue with - given your posts on other threads - your obvious bias is making you assume I'm pro Meghan - rather than mostly indifferent and occaionally amused or appalled depends on what she has lately done.

Regardless of all of that you don't seem to understand some basic facts about the RF. You got something factually wrong. I can't help that 🤷‍♀️

I'm going to look for that, thanks 👍

TulipTiptoer · 04/04/2025 17:26

Well.... yes... exactly.

Someone said on this thread somewhere that Andrew doesn't get negativity because he hasn't been seen since the Maitlis interview. Obviously untrue! He wore the whole kit and caboodle at the Coronation. Velvet robes, gold braids, massive bows on his shoulders. What a twat

He was also allowed a TV interview at Philip's funeral and to take centre stage at Philip's memorial escorting her maj and more recently took public part in the traditional Christmas walk to church which always attracts TV coverage

He is quietly endorsed by the royals over and over.

I see no one is denying what she’s doing. Just saying good for her. As if.

Cashing in on her fans loyalty, selling tat. Its cheap and tacky.

Well then so is every artist, sports team etc that sells merchandise to their fans. Seriously only you are the one who seems to find fhay embarrassing. Meanwhile.thousands of people cpntineut to buy merchandise from their favourite sports team, artist, dj etc.

what?

CathyorClaire · 04/04/2025 20:34

Aren't Rachel's fans notorious deep divers?

I'd be surprised if they weren't aware of the provenance of the merch and the rep of its providers given it's now splashed everywhere.

If they choose to buy it regardless, well, as the saying goes 'one born every minute'.

Spectre8 · 04/04/2025 20:35

Well Andrew bringing more embarrassment to the royal family. What a fool

Absolutely!

He tries his best and his best isn't good enough

As I said before, he'll show his stupid face whenever he gets the chance!

Up to them! No one forces them to buy it!

I agree.

I don't think anyone's pulling a fast one on ingenues at this point.

AtIusvue · 04/04/2025 20:57

Did you see the women at the As ever NYC launch? ….its disturbing how invested they were. It’s these type of women that Meg wants to cash in on, exploiting the Sussex fandom.

That’s incredibly sad.
