Online, people are pointing out that a very expensive cashmere jumper that Meg wore on suits, also made its way to her wardrobe

It’s been nothing but PR disasters of late.

What I have noticed which is curious - is that the UK tabloids are not running with P6 story about the dress. Just like they avoided talking about the NY car chase. They only reported on the media frenzy. But, we know Harry sent out some sort of memo not to publish photos etc. None of the UK press did. Now Meg has acknowledged the stolen dress story and released an official refute ….and none of the UK press are even reporting on that?

That’s weird. They will literally print any old Meg story to get clicks…..but not this one???

The articles on this issue are mainly American.

Posting a video of Harry licking her chocolate covered jewelry and fingers, ‘that man loves her so much, much’.

Edited

Has anyone ever loved anyone else as much as Harry loves Meghan?! I doubt it...
"He loves me so boldly" 😂

Isn’t she launching her chocolate today? He could be the new milk tray man.

Auld baldy heid, in one of Megs polo necks, flying a helicopter to Kris Jenners, to deliver a chocolate bar?

Can he remember who Kris Jenner is? How awful to make a mistake and go to Caitlin's.

There have been multiple threads about the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall. Even I now have a fairly decent idea of how they work and I still can't understand how you time your prime minister elections.

Harry inherited tens of millions from Diana and the Queen Mother. Charles bankrolled him. He wasn't thrown out, penniless into the cold. Why can't he live within his income.

BECAUSE HE IS A PRINCE AND VERY VERY SPECIAL!!!! 👑

If you are commenting on my posts and not those of another poster, then why is no monarchist addressing my questions about why enjoying the profits from two huge commercial operations aka the Duchies, which each make £20 million a year profit does not qualify as HIHO?

Btw, they don’t pay corporation tax on that money either despite them being fully commercial entities.

Is it because it is all carried out behind a wall of smoke and mirrors by any chance?

The Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwell exist to provide funding for the Monarch and the Heir respectively. The Duchy of Lancaster is overseen by a member of the Cabinet, not the monarch, Cornwall is overseen and subject to stringent rules about what can and can't be done with profits (William can't move them into his personal funds). They are a kind of salary for their position in the monarchy, to receive it they have to be fully in the institution and carrying out their constitutional duties.

Edward and Sophie did try HIHO in the early days of their marriage and it proved impossible, that's why the late Queen refused Harry's plan.

And rather than being railroad out the Sandringham plan included a one year cooling off period during which they could have returned as working royals.

MrsLeonFarrell · 04/12/2025 15:07

Regarding Colbert, it doesn't matter. Harry has no political power or position, no one serious would worry about what he says. Mind you if i were him I wouldn't be baiting Trump.

The best way H and M could overshadow Catherine would be to pop up at TM’s bedside .

That’s a very good point about the cooling off period MrsLeonFarrell which admittedly I had forgotten about. I do think H&M would have been wise to have given their departure more strategic thought but equally I think Harry thought there would be more room for negotiation at the Sandringham Summit.

And thank you very much for the info. about the Duchies.

I thought that RF members did derive their stipends and some of their expenses from the profits?

It was reported last year that William received £6 million out of the £23 million that the Duchy of Cornwall made in the financial year 2023-2024, in which case my point still stands that that is not perceptibly different to HI and HO eg receiving monies from commercial enterprises while carrying out duties for the RF?

Slight derail but anyone like to suggest what H and M might do tomorrow to detract from Catherine’s Carol Concert ?

I wouldn’t dare @Mylovelygreendress! I was completely wrong and it was far worse than anticipated!
although if continuing in the same direction…. Another twerking video while Harry insults other world leaders?

Fair enough. I was responding to posts from another poster and I see lots of snarky comments about Meghan and the Kardashians so I am hardly preventing discussion of WLM, Threads tend to wander a bit.

Perhaps he could comment on Putin again?
Remember Harry has wondered how he, Harry, turned out as well as he did with all those shocking disadvantages, but Putin didn't?.
I wish I was making this bullshit up, but sadly, I'm not.
Perhaps he could give Putin life advice?

In contrast to MM's sad wreath making, here are various celebs making wreaths for Catherine's service at RHS Wisley. So nice of them to include kids, rather than just talk about them. This is what actual joyous wreath making looks like!

Indeed the putin interview! 🤣
and I see as ( I was off getting someone to fix my washer dryer) that others had mentioned twerking already! 😳.
perhaps Harry ( who apparently loves the pointing at the crotch move) could do a rap battle, where he astounds us with his political nounce and insults every world leader who might like to nuke us ! Why stop at trump …Putin and Kim Jong deserve a mention!

I’ve just watched it because of all the comments on here! Thought it was fine! Some of it was actually quite funny.

Loved Colbert’s summary of the standard Hallmark Christmas movie plot! 😁

Just a bit of fun at Christmas!

And surely anyone making a Trump joke is good news?

Honestly, from the comments on here you’d think Harry had taken a chain saw to a granny’s leg live on stage or something,

The “I’ll do anything” comments were obviously sending himself up,

And the DM headlines about booing were completely inaccurate too.. The booing was a mock response to Harry’s joke about the USA electing “a King”. And it was meant in fun. To be expected from the DM but why blindly follow their take on this?

Some of you need to lighten up.

Edited

Same here. It was a bit cringe, but not as bad as I thought, I think Harry is better at making fun of himself than Meghan is. (I’m thinking of that embarrassing bit on Ellen. Ellen must hate her.)

I think he likes to have a laugh. I don't think he understood that the joke was on him, but he liked the laughter and the applause.
Meghan really struggles with that, I think.
