Whatever is going on, it’s glaringly obvious that the children spend their time with just a few select adults and not other kids.

When they went to Disney, did they go with friends and their kids? No, they went with Marcus Anderson. Same with the pumpkin patch, no friends and their kids….just Marcus again.

You’d think the kids of celebrity friends would come round and they could play….even pics of the back of the their heads. But no.
There’s never even chat about the kids playing with Serena’s kids or Emma Gredes kids….all similar ages.

Countless videos and pics….not a single one showing Archie and Lili interacting/chatting etc. That’s not normal.

Look at how amazing their play park is! Yet theres no indication that the kids have regular play time with other kids.

I can understand them not posting video of other peoples children with Archie and Lili, that wouldn't be acceptable, they'd have to get permission which would be awkward.

Didn't she say in some interview last year that they have playdates with other kids and parents, and her and H make obstacle courses? It all sounded very contrived. Like she's performing being the best play date host.

I find the Disney land thing weird. Disney don't shut down the parks for celebrities. So why weren't they spotted? You can get VIP passes where you are escorted around the parks to the front of all the queues but you'd still be seen.
Also lili was barefoot in the parks? That's just weird. Who walks barefoot in public theme parks?

It doesn't make sense.

It doesn't make sense why she is posting any pictures of the kids at all now As Ever is winding down. I presumed she was marketing them as part of her brand. But what for now?

If she's got nothing to sell what is she doing it for?

BigWillyLittleTodger · 07/04/2026 12:49

Why on earth was the process not explained to them after Meghan had made her choice?

I expect it was but with these two they don’t like being told anything and don’t take advice. Isn’t it funny that the only royal bride who had an issue regarding their wedding tiara is Meghan, says it all really.

Things go very far on these threads but this is truly beyond the pale.

Hove you lot lost all compass?

No.

I really dislike amateur diagnosing of the children of celebrities. Whilst I acknowledge that they are blatantly using their children for publicity let's not get dragged down to their level.

My thoughts on this have been made very clear in the past and nothing has changed my mind.

I don’t understand why she had to fly in a hairdresser. It just adds to the complications of an already complicated wedding. In her shoes, I would have asked other members of the RF who did their hair for state occasions. Asking others for help is a good way of building relationships. Even if she didn’t want to do that, having a London based hairdresser would have allowed for multiple trials if necessary. Her hair was terrible in her wedding. It was messy at the front and straggly around the nape of her neck.

M's hair texture as evidenced in her childhood photos is different from the hair texture of other members of the RF, so I can see why M may not have asked Catherine, Zara, Beatrice, Eugenie etc. for advice on finding a hairdresser. M would have wanted a hairdresser more familiar with her hair type for such a high-profile occasion as her second wedding.

What remains inexplicable is why M did not simply reach out to high profile UK women of mixed heritage. I would assume they would have been very happy to connect M to highly skilled London based hairdressers who 1) are familiar with styling hair for people of mixed heritage and 2) would not face the logistics issues of a Paris based hairdresser.

Harry definitely has a saviour complex as far as Meghan is concerned

They are both performative to each other - it’s the lazy ‘damsel in distress’ triggering her ‘white knight’ into action - it’s such a cliche. She’s done him up like a kipper.

I thought there was a delay because H and M wanted HRH on the DC’s passports and there was some reluctance from the RF ?
Not sure where I read that ?

PlattyCat · 07/04/2026 19:44

Yip they wanted the HRH and Sussex on the passport.

She was Jewish when she married Trevor. Hmm

Doesn't she also claim Maltese heritage from her father's side?

Interesting comment on the Times about MM and other celebrities posting obscured photos of their children online. With share token.
Is this photographic evidence that Meghan is a ‘posturing parent’?

Harry reportedly paid 50k for a speech in Washington apparently. About privacy. Who on earth would sit and listen to this blatant hypocrisy???

So he’s getting paid to talk about it, not because it’s a good cause he is campaigning for. Also 50k doesn’t seem a lot of money for people living in a mansion in Montecito with all those living and security expenses. If this is true, they must be getting desperate.

gishgalloping · 08/04/2026 09:00

He was asking for a million dollars per speech a few years ago. His value has absolutely plummeted.

Mylovelygreendress · 08/04/2026 09:20

Frankly I can’t believe anyone would pay either of them to make a speech !

zurigo · 08/04/2026 09:53

He’s learning to turn and balance……this is a beginner lesson. Which seems odd as he is nearly 7. Rich kids have these skills at 3/4.

Just a point on this, as my kids learned to ski at 4. Yes, you're right about the poles, but given that M&H don't live particularly near a ski hill I suspect they probably only go skiing once or twice a year. Archie is skiing well for a 6-year-old and at the level that you would expect for a kid who first skied at age 4 and only skis once or twice a year. He's balancing, turning and able to follow his dad down what looks like a green or blue slope. If this was his first lesson he'd be on the kiddie slope and falling over all the time.

Hello! magazine will be looking for someone to fill the pages which have till now been occupied by the Yorks. I would be very surprised if Meghan Markle is not in negotiations for that spot. Exclusive pictures of the children would significantly increase what they might expect to be paid.

corblimeyguvnr · 08/04/2026 12:29

It's just an article about the conference ? 🤷‍♀️

corblimeyguvnr · 08/04/2026 12:32

Tickets available for the Melbourne event including the virtual tickets.

I don't think so, there is no such thing as exclusive pictures any more. The moment the pictures are published they will be shared on SM.

How much would they really be worth?

The first reveal will be the big payer. After that I agree it will be all about Hello! having exclusive access rather than exclusive images. Let’s see.
