At least they are trying to make a honest living unlike the rest of the Windsor’s.

The word honest and Harry and Meghan don’t belong in the same continent let alone sentence 😂

No apostrophe needed.

While I’m on a roll, with spotting house maintenance issues.
The video Megs shares, starts of with a view of the paving. They need that repointed. Needs done every ten years.

As I say, here and there you can spot the signs of neglect. The pic with the balloons show a carpet of moss on their bocce court. Which wouldn’t happen if they had full time maintaince. Likewise with the pointing of the paving. These things are never allowed to fall into such a state, as there would be regular repairs and preventative maintenance.

Rich people run their homes like hotels. They never see chipped paint, cracked grouting, moss covered courts, finger marks on the door etc

I think the investigation should broaden beyond Andrew in the UK. I'm waiting for the live Clinton testimony later this month.

You must be desperate for something to do if you’ve trawled through other threads to see how many people are posting across the board or just posting on this thread.

And as for nothing to say -

I’m sick/bored to the back teeth of anything to do with AMW and won’t read anything else about him anywhere.

The current court case involving Harry - the other thread on the current court case needs too much concentration from me. Concentration that I currently don’t have in me so I no longer read it. I’m quite happy to wait for the outcome to be announced on the news when it happens.

Other subjects on the RF board - apart from two or three that have caught my attention enough to comment on them once or twice nothing else has sparked an interest in me enough to warrant posting.

Posting on this thread - there are a few posters on the RF boards who are in PR at very high levels and their input is the attraction here, that and the fact Atlusvue always runs a good thread regardless of where she starts them on MN.

As for making you happy. If it makes you happy to leap to ridiculous conclusions as to why people aren’t posting on threads, then I’m happy you’re happy. It says a lot on how little you appear to have going on in life

No….nothing to argue with. That’s the difference. Who the hell has anything positive to say about Andrew and Fergie 😂

I’m on quite a few of them. There’s the ANL court case thread, and about three of the Andrew/Sarah/Beatrice/Eugenie ones (including the ‘Is Andrew finishing off the monarchy?’ thread); plus Epstein/Mandelson ones, and some general health, feminism and politics threads.

Am I doing it wrong? <shrug>

Thedom · 06/02/2026 05:53

Posters can name change for different threads if they want to, I do !

Strange to feel the need to look for posters to berate because you think they should be posting elsewhere. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Thedom · 06/02/2026 05:57

Poor Harry, she even put a filter on her husbands face and head to camouflage how he really looks.

Some of the other RF threads have some very spiteful, chip-on-shoulder, plain nasty comments on them that this one is like a breath of fresh air in comparison, but I do follow the court case one which is definitely a cut above and a more reasoned thread than most of the others.

Lifestooshort71 · 06/02/2026 07:42

The above might get deleted, mentioning other threads?

Have just remembered that cream / latte coloured custom made Dior kaftan Meghan wore in Morocco. Estimated £90K cost. Never seen again.

The spares spouse spending £99k of tax payers money on a dress - you can bet your bottom dollar she asked for the most expensive dress in the shop and just loved spending someone else’s dollar, ugly dress for an ugly heart

Amidst all the criticism of the Royals on the other threads, it has been interesting that no-one has pointed out that Harry and Meghan specifically invited Sarah Ferguson to their wedding in 2018. She said she was very grateful for the “huge gesture” from them demonstrating their support. But Harry and Meghan were close to Eugenie and Beatrice, we are told.

William and Kate didn’t invite Sarah to their wedding and have long been rumoured to not be very close to the York sisters.

Which couple are being slated by posters for their perceived closeness to Andrew and Sarah though? I’ll leave you to guess.

losingstill · 06/02/2026 08:24

The couple that are working royals are being slated. The couple that are being funded by the tax payers.

So it’s not their actual relationship with and proximity to the wrongdoers (which presumably means they might be more aware of what they have been doing), it’s their status as working royals that means they are to be criticised. While the couple that were seemingly closer to the wrongdoers are all fine?

About as sensible as you’d expect!

The ones grifting off their titles and proximity to working royals? Who does that put me in mind of?

It’s a teeny bit sad to be analysing the paving stones, don’t you think?
I mean, I enjoy M&H gossip, but I feel bad about it. Does it feel like a guilty secret to others?
Sometimes their detractors make me want to defend them, which is mad!! Confused

They are both using their "Windsor" titles to make money. Deliberately so.

I'd have far more respect if they dropped the titles and actually did it on their own merit.

Isn't that a maternity gown though? I'm sure it could be taken in, but depending on the material could be difficult and very expensive

Listen, I only know that the grounds are beginning to look run down because of Meg’s social media posts. It’s pretty easy to spot. I don’t think I’m sad to point that out.

But it’s what that means. That money isn’t being spent on that house. That perhaps they are out their depth financially. It’s all part of a picture.

The Dior atelier would 100% be able to remake the gown (or take it apart and re-use the fabric). The issue is often that the fabric is damaged where the seams have been, so making something smaller means you are working with undamaged fabric.

It’s a good reason though why most people don’t spend a lot of money on a maternity dress they are unlikely to rewear. £90,000 is quite an investment in a maternity wardrobe.
