Agreed, if M&H settled down quietly no one would be bothered. IT's all the activity which just attracts attention (and mostly derision). I sometimes feel a bit sorry for their very cluelessness.

Clockyclockz · 01/01/2026 22:17

The Sussex show has unfortunately for them become a little bit of a car crash attraction with a lot of people making money on YouTube and TikTok talking about them.

Oh absolutely, personally I don’t get the whole hate watching thing but we are all different. Me criticising the Royals has nothing to do with M&H. Why would it? My feelings and opinions on Taylor Swift are no reflection on how I feel about Sabrina Carpenter.

Mylovelygreendress · 01/01/2026 22:32

Any more predictions??

Since this started as a lighthearted thread how about Louise decides to become an academic, her thesis topic being, 'do we really need a monarchy?'.

James decides not to pursue university and reveals he's been secretly training to be an acrobat.

Eugenie is pregnant again and has triplets. Jack reveals a desire to return to the life of being a waiter in a cocktail bar when he met her.

Beatrice reveals she's the hacker mastermind behind many of the recent data breaches. Why? She was bored.

HowAboutNowJane · 01/01/2026 23:08

Louise moves to Australia with her Aussie bloke and get engaged at Byron Bay.

Peter Phillip's new wife gets pregnant.

Camilla gives up smoking.

So do we think that the barrage of posts slagging off the Waleses is an attempt to deflect attention from a) Archewell sliding slowly into the mire, b) losing Meredith Maines, c) losing James Holt, d) the stealing allegations still, e) the Kardashian Krisis still, f) the debacle surrounding Meghan’s father being filmed in ICU as he opened a letter, the contents of which she announced to the world whilst expressing hope that it would remain private, g) Meghan named a celebrity loser in the Telegraph, h) the pair of them named pariahs and Harry “not the brightest bulb”, i) dodgy shenanigans over witnesses in the latest Harry court case, j) the terrible and much derided photoshopping of the photo on the bridge, k) the fact that everyone is still laughing at the Harpers article and especially Meghan insisting on being announced to an empty room, l) rumours about their financial situation, m) the hypocrisy of posting photos of the children online, n) Netflix not renewing WLM, o) Netflix not stocking As Ever in their shops, p) the Christmas episode disappearing without trace, q) the announcement that the children will now be part of their “global philanthropic endeavours”, r) rage at George’s signature alongside William’s and Diana’s in the book at the homeless charity, s) rage at Charlotte playing the piano with her mother, t) embarrassment that various of their friends now have terrible reputations, eg Tyler Perry - or is it just that the RF are so visible over Christmas? Or is something really bad about to come out, I wonder?

Partly all, though half their issue is that they don't think that far ahead. It's mainly to do with the exodus from Archewell and the info that they've overspent and the loss of Maines.

NormaMajors1992coat · 01/01/2026 23:24

Thank you @MrsFinkelstein for managing to make it through the tirade / rant, understand the question and answer it 🙌🙌
I think you’re probably right.

We are not TikTok or Twitter or members of Sussex Squad. No idea why you post this.
On Mumsnet no one puts any of that stuff. It's just you giving it oxygen. Why?

DarkChoc just had an opinion that William & Kate don't look in love. It's said enough times about harry and meghan, do you get annoyed with that assertion too?

Catherine - always looks like she's trying very hard to not annoy him.
William - always looks like he's one step away from snapping at her. He never looks like he is in love with her. There is no tenderness.

No, DarkChoc didn't just imply W&C didn't look in love. Don't post a snide comment if you're not prepared to be called out on it.

Yes it would be bizarre because they are the ones that receive taxpayer money, they are the ones who shape this country whether we like it or not, they are the ones that are continually propped up in the media with endless pictures....so why wouldn't we discuss what they do, how they handle crises, their finances and everything connected to them!

I know, make it make sense! 😆

It would be good if the bullying tendencies that often occur on these threads stops in 2026 and everyone can share their opinions without getting accused of having an agenda, etc. It’s so tiresome & I have always tended to stay away from the boards because of it.

“It would be good if the bullying tendencies of MM ceased”

We had yet another recent report of her bullying behaviour in the workplace just the other day - where she now ices out employees that’s she’s blaming for media cock-ups. That’s years and years of abusive behaviour, on both sides of the Atlantic consistently and persistently reported and witnessed by employees. Seems she only has one left now - I expect Liam to stand his ground though - especially as he knows where the bodies are buried having been alongside PH way before MM came on the scene. LM holds all the power H&M don’t need that pig squealing…..

GhostsInTheWindowsAndWalls · 01/01/2026 23:50

I think Charles and Kate will both suffer more health issues and William will be King within the next year or two

More horrendous revelations about Andrew’s behaviour

James will become a heart throb

Clockyclockz · 01/01/2026 23:54

@Trimmernow surely you didn’t mean to reply to my post? What on earth does your post have to do with my comment?! 😆😆

They just want to whine on and on about the couple in every conceivable thread whether relevant or not (usually the latter).

The obsessives can't conceive of any thread not being about the couple so they have to make every thread about them, every post has to relate to them.

They're all so tedious and immature.

Clockyclockz · 02/01/2026 00:18

And yet they label others as bots or whatever 🤔😆

Possibly all of the above.

@simpsonthecat

Why can't 2026 predictions cover the Royal Family too?

Is this for another poster? I don’t believe I said they couldn’t?

People are allowed different opinions you know.

My post literally had multiple possible answers to the question I asked, so yes, I am aware that people are allowed different opinions.

I didn't read all your tirade against Harry and Meghan because it is not predictions, just a rant about them.

In what way is it a tirade or rant? Obviously something has sparked the sudden deluge of anti-Wales posts and the change from the normal patterns of engagement on the RF board. This has happened multiple times before and there is usually a pretty transparent reason relating to the Sussexes.

I’m only interested in the monarchy and the heirs to it. I expect there are lots of people the same.
Yes, that’s me.

I didn’t have this as an option for reasons behind the current weird Sussex PR op but you might have hit the nail on the head there. It was always going to happen eventually, interest in the Sussexes dwindling as they become less relevant - I suppose George at the homeless charity and Charlotte playing the piano might have made it feel like it’s happening sooner rather than later. Or rather, now.

Agree.

I think James has a look of a young William with his mop of hair so I wouldn’t be surprised at that, as William was very popular for his looks back then. I saw that James was 18 last week. I remember him being born. I’m getting old!

NewAgeNewMe · 02/01/2026 06:30

I remember Peter Philips being born, now that’s old!

TheDogParade · 01/01/2026 19:37

The posts I’ve seen about William and Kate seem to be from posters who are expressing concern for the children which I don’t find surprising on a parenting board. Also about William not paying/declaring tax and their new forever home which seem fair and/or in the news and should be discussed.

I’ve just looked and seen one about cruelty to animals which tends to come up a few times a year on mumsnet so nothing out of the ordinary.

The issue I have is the hypocrisy. Harry and Meghan seem to take a kicking all year, some of it deserved others not imo. I don’t really care what people post about them but posters do have to accept it when others have different opinions and people they like get a kicking for a change. I’m sure there are people here on both ‘sides’ that don’t have genuine intentions but you just have to ignore that because if they’re posting within mumsnet talk guidelines, what can you do?

It appears to me that the posters who are used to having the board full of their own posts that are anti Meghan and Harry and pro Kate and William are throwing their toys out of the pram because it’s been a bit more balanced on here for a change. Personally, I hope it stays more balanced, without hate and bullying, and the discussion becomes not just about Meghan and Harry.

This post is absolutely spot on 👏👏👏
I could not agree more!

It's only people like you and the other obsessives that keep going on about them who are interested and seem fixated on them.

No one else gives a single fuck about them.

How is it ok to call @NormaMajors1992coat an obsessive? I thought this kind of thing was against guidelines?

Worsening health for Charles and Kate

William will continue to facilitate a relationship between his children and John the stalker and other obsessive strangers at events because he is a great parent

Louis refuses to take part in any further events unless he is given back his large Lindt chocolate

More revelations about Andrew

Andrew will die by suicide, like Epstein and Virginia. Possibly a bit soon, could be something for 2027 or even 2028 to ensure enough time has past for the plebs to believe it. Maybe it’ll actually be ‘a heart attack’.

We will become even more familiar with the side and back of Archie and Lilis heads

The makers of the crown will be happy that content keeps coming

Suicide and cancer are not light hearted. How horrible.

Clockyclockz · 02/01/2026 10:23

Is it against guidelines to accuse people of being bots or on some sort of payroll @MN admin?

Hence why I am asking?

TeideHeart · 01/01/2026 17:22

It's entrenched polarisation. If you critisise William and Kate you must be a fan of his brother and his wife. I barely give the latter couple a thought. I'm only interested in the monarchy and the heirs to it. I expect there are lots of people the same.

It works both ways. Anyone who criticises Meghan and Harry are described as " obsessive" . You don't give Meghan and Harry a thought yet you said this. How strange!

myrtleWilson · 02/01/2026 10:29

Do you mean you’re asking via reporting or you’re asking by using @MN because the latter doesn’t connect to them. You’ll need to report a post, email them or pop something in site stuff.
