Pardon?

Where have I mentioned harry, meghan or kate on here. Are you confused?

No. I updated when I read my error about the poster. You were quick off the mark!

I was on the thread and responded straightaway as I was confused!

My apologies for my original error, which I thought I'd corrected pronto!

From the snippets we’ve seen, she already seems very clued up on protocol and ceremony—so much so that she’s been seen guiding George through it. She comes across as knowledgeable and confident in those settings. That’s all I can really say, as I don’t know her personality, but based on her public appearances, she does seem very self-assured and knowledgeable, which is lovely to see and will do her well when she’s older.

she is ten, how anyone can know what she will be like as an adult is just reaching.
let them be children.

Why have you shoe horned m and h into a thread that has literally nothing to do with them?
are you deliberately trying to cause an argument?

It's not a competition about who got it worse.

All I know is, Peter Phillips has had a relatively easy ride given he is male. And after flogging milk to the chinese with a nauseating advert showing palaces and footmen. And his money making with hampers on the Mall... his company was paid £750,000. Luckily his ice skating rink didn't come off

No, it’s not. But a certain group (SS) seems to believe that Meghan is the only one who has ever suffered at the hands of the press. She’s neither the first nor the last — the difference is, others don’t publicly frame it as a victim narrative, which some people are all too eager to embrace while dismissing or downplaying what Catherine and others have endured.

Perhaps also aim that comment on people making up hypothetical scenarios of George being gay too 🤣

Here we go again... for goodness sake, as I said it is not a competition about who had it worse. They both had it bad. They both are female and my observation that Peter Phillips as a male got an easy ride, stands.

I think you ought to take your accusations about the Sussex squad to where they congregate. It isn't here. Not on this thread and I doubt on mumsnet.

Berlinlover · 02/08/2025 12:38

They’re only together a year, what’s the rush?

You’re being naive if you think there aren’t Sussex Squad members on this board or thread. As the saying goes — if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

🤣

jumpingthehighjump · 02/08/2025 12:51

Perhaps get back to the thread, instead of derailing it with talk of who is part of the Sussex Squad. Just a thought...

Back to thread...
I have just looked at pictures of his bride to be, I wish I had looked like her at her age! and an NHS paediatric nurse too, with an interest in early brain development in babies.
She ought to pal up with Kate and her early years initiative.

She looks fantastic, so stylish. Excellent specialism as well 👍

When you know, you know. I was with my husband for 3 months when we got married. 32 years and counting....

Thank you, I agree

I think she's got what the French would call je ne sais quoi. Very stylish, and love she wears vans/trainers with dresses when casual.

I didn't even know he was dating again to be honest so had to go and google her.

Hels20 · 02/08/2025 13:36

She has a strong Christian faith so I wonder if they will get married in a little church somewhere - and maybe quite quickly. Maybe they aren’t living together yet? Anyway - they seem happy and she is wearing a Me + Em top!

Lunde · 02/08/2025 14:28

I loved Princess Anne's second wedding to Tim - they trotted off to Crathie Kirk and the royals turned in Land Rovers.

ScarlettOYara · 02/08/2025 14:35

Yes, that was lovely. It looked like such a happy day.

HerNotIndoorsAlltheTime · 02/08/2025 15:55

I feel uneasy over it.
I know they're in their 40s but it seems quick.
He appears to have form for jumping from one relationship to another.
And all his women have the same look.

TBH I don't have a very high opinion of him.
He doesn't have a royal title but he does get all the perks including a house so he's never had to work properly or manage money. The businesses he has had seem to have not done too well and I imagine he gets some work because of the royal connections.

I was a bit sickened today to see all her outfits being listed in one of the broadsheets and the costs, and they were hardly what an NHS nurse would manage on an average wage, so maybe she has other means.

And supposedly have regretted it since. I've heard they live separate lives and that she's unhappy and their marriage is all about appearances.

ScarlettOYara · 02/08/2025 16:00

Yes, I think she's from a wealthy family. No point in being "sickened" by the cost of her outfits. I'm sure nurses couldn't afford the wardrobes of other wealthy women.
I have no idea if Phillips has flitted from one relationship to another, he seems like a private person to me.
Yes, he has wealth and privilege. His mother is the Princess Royal and he was the first grandchild of QEII.

Not what I've seen. They holiday in Scotland every summer, and go sailing. They like to visit lighthouses. They stay in small places, B&Bs and don't make a fuss, eating in local restaurants and to all appearances, are happy and companionable couple.
Maybe they're good actors.

ScarlettOYara · 02/08/2025 16:05

When the host of a little B&B realised who they were, she offered them a bigger bedroom. They said no, the one allocated was fine.
