Netflix deal is over

  • Both decided a statement won’t be released “Publicly, there will not be a statement and of course, if things change dramatically, they’d be open to a one-off project down the line.”
  • Talk about Paramount plus

It’s been pretty obvious for a while. No talk about the Archewell productions arm, the film they were making etc.

How long can As ever last when they won’t have NF to back it up with WLM infomercials.

Back in early 2022 the Daily Mail was running an identical article saying William and Kate were eying Fort Belvedere up as they wanted to move closer to Windsor to spend more time with QEII. As we know, they opted for Adelaide Cottage instead - closer to the Castle and much smaller.

Slow Royal news week, I imagine! The grounds look lovely, even if the turrets look windowless.

Interesting, @Serenster ! I did think it was a bit strange. Why would they move again so soon when they've had so much upheaval in their lives, recently?

Every year there always seems to be a news story (or two) suggesting the Waleses are eyeing up a new property — usually Royal Lodge, though Fort Belvedere pops up occasionally too. I think it’s just filler content, especially during this quieter time of year when they’re doing fewer public engagements and any royal headline is guaranteed to get clicks.

Personally, I think Adelaide Cottage will remain their home base until they eventually move into Windsor Castle — probably sooner than we expect.

Not sure if this has been shared, but what's meant to be a fan edit explains why Meghan remains controversial, her supporters cannot help themselves with toxicity. her support as well as her detractors remain as much in the them versus the royals as much as the pair themselves.

Well ive just watched that !
and two things come to my mind .
one … why all the shots from suits of her in motion? Are they trying for a montage? , is there not enough shots of her in royal footage flattering enough? 🤔.

two.. without wishing to be unkind.. this is my first view of her “acting” in suits and well … it’s not good is it! , even without sound and her just walking into various rooms…the acting is not believable, I’ve seen more convincing Lidl adverts.

She was basically the eye candy, Jeff.

Well its there go to strategy, dragging up old news over and over trying to make it seem like new news 🙄 why anyone takes their royal family articles seriously when they are like this and alwsys sources claim....those mysterious sources 🙄

It's for the clicks. That's how it works.

Ahh I see!
but again not wishing to be unkind, I’ve seen “eye candy “ in other shows that could actually act as well! 🤷‍♀️

Fair point 😅. I think that "acting" is a very broad term, isn't it? Some people act, others...appear.

Fort Belvedere was used by Edward VIII as his private retreat. Possibly doesn't, or didn't, have pleasant associations for the RF. And probably wouldn't have been thought appropriate to give it to H&M, given the divorced American association.

Good points, although it had already been lived in by the Galens for more than 35 years by then, so wasn't a consideration anyway.

I agree with Taz on this one.

Oh my goodness, they are a lovely bunch aren’t they? H&M must be so proud 🙄
The delusion is real, as is the toxicity! Richard Eden wrote a DM article about the SS last week but it’s behind a paywall so I haven’t been able to read it.

Yes I do too. The media always needs a bad guy.

True … perhaps she should try to “appear” in a more convincing manner! 🤣

MummyJ12 · 27/07/2025 11:01

I’m noticing a lot of pro Harry articles penned by Charlotte Griffiths. She really seems like a cheerleader for him at the moment. Interesting how she is referring to him now spending time with people who he was very close to “before he met Meghan”. That seems very pointed to me. If this is an agenda driven by Harry then he’s more ruthless than I have given him credit for. He’s saving himself, not them.

apparently after his “mine “ walk Harry visited Botswana for a three day visit with another of his “ parental “ figures!
( how many does he have?!) , it was a secret visit that was somehow announced to the media ??
does this man ever spend time with his family?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 27/07/2025 11:02

If that mini castle was always option on the Windsor estate couldn't M&H have had that? She'd have loved that

I think it's been said that Philip used to enjoy hosting dinner parties at Fort Belvedere, @StrawberryWasp, so maybe he wanted to hang on to it?

In any case it was the place where Edward VIII hung around with Wallis, so I'm not sure the family would have thought it appropriate for H&M - especially if they really did suspect the way it was going to go

It always amused me though to think of Meghan being told they were getting Frogmore, googling it and getting Frogmore House, and recoiling with horror on realising it would actually be Frogmore Cottage
In fairness aerial pictures show it to be lovely, but there's no denying the usual media pics make it look like a row of run down council homes

MummyJ12 · 27/07/2025 11:04

Thanks @jeffgoldblum that is the article that I was also referring to. 👍

MummyJ12 · 27/07/2025 11:06

The comments under that article make interesting reading as always! 😂

Not sure if this has been shared ? The way it is written ( Charlotte Griffiths again) is making out that Harry is being magnanimous in sharing his diary so that the RF can plan accordingly !?
On what planet is he living that the RF will consider what H and M are doing before they arrange events?

A planet far , far away, in a time we forgot!
seriously though @Mylovelygreendress, it’s about time someone explained just exactly where he fits in the scheme of things and the reality of just how unimportant or relevant he is now!

KatherineParr · 27/07/2025 11:16

Do the RF really need to share diaries for Harry to know when Camilla's birthday is, for example? Surely he can just look it up on Wikipedia.

I may be missing the point, but I doubt it.

This is the silliest article I have seen in the DM about the Royal family for a long time. Who is going to believe that any diary of a working royal is going to be shared with Harry? His jaunt to Angola didn't happen to coincide with Camilla's birthday. Harry must have arranged it to coincide with her birthday.
