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.

We bought some bars from a shop in Belgium recently, 9EUR each, chocolate percentage and all organic etc.

Not only did they actually make them in the shop but they used chocolate they had grown themselves so you could see the whole process from start to finish.

It was worth it especially as you can try all the chocs before buying

Sounds fabulous! My DH travels a lot, so he always brings me back some high % cacao delights from wherever he's been. We're also very lucky that DH's auntie is a Parisien chocolatier, so we always get a steady supply of her chocolate creations, plus marrons glaces that we haven't the heart to tell her we don't like!

Does anyone like marrons glacés?

Perhaps a none fussy dog? They're like sweetened, boiled slugs.

I’m looking for a proper box of old fashioned chocolates, none of this praline nonsense which is all that we seem to get these days and no no palm oil either, I want a proper strawberry/coffee/ violet fondant not the gue they serve up nowadays, preferably each chocolate served up in an old fashioned paper case as well, not that I’m fussy…… I’m looking online but can’t find any that quite hit the mark.

That sounds lovely. Let me know if you find that. I am actually on the hunt for ‘nice’ chocolates to give as Christmas presents.

Well announcing you are posh on an anonymous platform when you have no idea about anyone else’s background seems the very definition of gauche to me! 🤣

I am so absurdly posh and old I was brought up to call them non pareils…..

Edited

My MIL was maybe half posh - she used to call the edible silver balls nonpareils but coloured "sprinkles" were called hundreds and thousands. I think chocolate ones were called chocolate sprinkles. I don't bake so this is absolutely vicarious knowledge 😁

Silver balls like this £1.35 a jar https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/cooks-ingredients-silver-balls/676720-789724-789725?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19822799279&gbraid=0AAAAADnhuuW3aWTIQUusH2n_sedIXnpqq&gclid=Cj0KCQiAosrJBhD0ARIsAHebCNp7SqzjX4m6OW62WKs2MOoKoAnldwFLTbBLrRx51-9GaWpo9tKayD0aAgTOEALw_wcB

There’s only one posh un on this thread

jeffgoldblum · 05/12/2025 19:00

Take note of this section!
It is understood that the duchess had not been informed before it appeared in news reports. She then instructed aides to verify the claims of her father’s ill health.
It is not known whether she has personally tried to get in touch with Markle, who moved from his home in Mexico to the Philippines earlier this year.
A spokesman for the duchess declined to comment.

ThePoshUns · 05/12/2025 19:02

I think I read somewhere that TM had to have his leg amputated as an emergency
