By the way - has anyone seen this? No idea of the veracity. I certainly would have expected more ticket sales if only to journalists and YouTubers. Though maybe it refers to confirmed sales, money in the bank rather than a booking?

Well it would certainly have been exclusive...

Well, that's closer to the promised intimate dinner party!

corblimeyguvnr · 21/03/2026 23:10

It looks like the dress code for the dinner with Kelly was black and white as every other woman ( bar two in pink) seems to be in that including Kelly but not Meghan .... as ever.

To ask him to pay for it privately feels a tiny bit spiteful, given that there are other members of the Royal Family who receive it who do far less.’

Who is that referring to? Not Anne or Edward or Sophie who only receive security when on official duties and do far more engagements that Harry.

Well Harry believes he’s been a working royal since his birth, so maybe he thinks the Wales children aren’t pulling their weight?!

Something crossed my mind when I saw those cray-cray photos and video of Meghan at that event the other evening, I don’t think she has been papped since she became a ‘founder’, has she ? there used to be plenty of pap shots of her in random places, farmers market, hiking with her crew, shopping, restaurants, dentist etc.

She must feel organising pap shots don’t fit a ‘‘founder’ profile.

It’s strange how the whole family have never been papped, just going to the local restaurant or library etc.

Why move to a beautiful location, to spend all your time at home?

Good on Catherine for not being too polite to set boundaries with people. After watching how M clung to that poor woman like a limpet, I do wonder if that’s what she wanted to do with Catherine.

Just catching up (so someone may already have made this point - apologies if so).

There was reporting that when they 1st attended Wimbledon together, that Meghan wanted Catherine and her to walk in holding hands. Catherine said no. I did initially think it was a bit weird and unlikely - I've now revised my opinion.

RecoIIectionsMayVary · 22/03/2026 10:07

I wouldn't walk into Wimbledon holding hands with my husband or mother. It is so alien to me.

Although I do agree up thread about small people being different! That is a privilege.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 22/03/2026 10:26

I don’t think she has been papped since she became a ‘founder’, has she?

Possibly the paps think she's no longer interesting enough, @Thedom?

There's hardly any need to bother with a snatched shot, even if Meghan herself has tried to set it up, when they can just wait for her to do something ridiculous to print

JSMill · 22/03/2026 10:44

@MrsFinkelsteinI agree. I didn’t really buy that story until now.

Yep, that is probably true !

Thedom · 22/03/2026 11:15

Willliam and Catherine seem to be very astute and perceptive. they stayed well away from Meghan Markle once they realized she wasn’t all that she pretended to be and was, in fact, quite duplicitous, and they also appear to have kept the Yorks at a distance too.

Mylovelygreendress · 22/03/2026 11:26

If they had held hands , M wouldn’t have had to walk behind Catherine ! Instead , her face displayed displeasure .

Yes . And I think it was the same occasion when M ignored the Wimbledon official ( Chairwoman?) who was trying to talk to her .

corblimeyguvnr · 22/03/2026 13:00

If looks could kill it is certainly that look.

MargaretThursday · 22/03/2026 13:44

It's an odd thought because there isn't really space between the seats to walk hand in hand. Someone would have had to go in front anyway!

No there isn’t.
I wonder how the conversation went 🤔
M “Shall we hold hands as we go down like sisters?”
C “No”

😂😂😂

ShamedBySiri · 22/03/2026 13:58

Years ago I used to do some agency nursing for a London agency that supplied the wealthy. I would often go to elderly ladies living in decrepit grandeur - huge mansion block apartments in Knightsbridge and Chelsea that hadn’t seen a lick of paint in decades.

One time I went to an elderly lady living in Berkeley Square.
She said to me “Do you know what my husband gave me for my 50th birthday?”
I said “NO! What did your husband give you?”
She said “A debeeeentuuure for Wiiimbledoooon! Wasn’t that lovely?”

I have forever felt hard done by that no one has gifted an a debenture for Wimbledon. Not even for one day. ☹️

ThePoshUns · 22/03/2026 14:08

How lovely! Another year has come to pass where I didn’t get picked for the Wimbledon ballot.

shockthemonkey · 22/03/2026 14:09

My mixed upbringing betraying me here - what is a debenture for Wimbledon?

shockthemonkey · 22/03/2026 14:13

Google-assisted enquiries suggest akin to posh season ticket for five years? Sounds expensive!
