Harry and Meghan's Australian jaunt -part 3 it's nearly over!

[corblimeygvnr]

Continuation ....

While both were awesome I have to defend 70's fashion.

Almost anything went in the 70s. Long hair, short hair, curly hair, straight hair. Mini skirts, midi skirts, maxi skirts.

Harry seems to be wanting to destabilise the tolerant pluralistic democracies that he pretends to support.

Does he want to be made king of somewhere?

That could be it!

Yes, probably some poor African nation. Before he met Meghan he was always wittering on about going to live in Africa. Probably so he could sit on his arse all day and lord it over the people.

I could see him as a Witch Doctor?

Long before he was married I remember an interview with him saying he didn't like being royal and he wanted to "travel round Brazil for a year, like an ordinary bloke".
Yes, millions of ordinary blokes have the money and resources to have a year long jolly in Brazil.

I've been reading and not commenting. I've been sick for much of 2026. Just started to get my energy back. I'm glad the NYC weather is getting warmer. I can't handle extreme cold and snow anymore.

My mother insisted I wear a homemade blue gingham summer dress to school made of some sort of nylon fabric she had found going (very) cheap in Walthamstow market.

You can imagine how comfortable I was in the hot summer classroom.

Ah - poor Harry - instead of a year in Brazil him and his entourage had to slum it and spend his gap year in
Australia - 3 months in Queensland working as a "jackaroo" (cowboy) on a cattle ranch and then a period in Sydney, playing polo for a team and watching the Rugby World Cup.
Lesotho - volunteered doing those "make work" jobs for rich boys such as helping to build a clinic, and building a road bridge rather than giving jobs to locals with actual practical building skills
Argentina: living on a polo ranch for a while

Such a hard life 🙄🙄

@TheAutumnCrow does he want to be made King of somewhere

Well they do say in the land of the blind the one eyed man is King.

I think that is endowment him with far too much thought and planning. He thinks he is still a working royal and that his presence and thoughts have a weight they don't in reality hold.

I was partial to the drummer too, Chris Hughes 😍

Sorry to hear that - hope you keep improving with spring 💐

Maybe someone should start a thread about clothes..lots of really cool descriptions even of nighties

The 70s started with hippie fashions and ended with sequin boob tubes and black satin jeans. It was the best decade ever for clothes and music - such variety !

And that was just the men!

I agree he holds no credibility. I don’t see why people are getting so aerated and demanding BRF / government step because it’s giving him too much dignity and credibility. You need to see him as some z-list ‘sleb on the skids and treat him accordingly - ie not relevant.

Any words or actions from BRF / government will inadvertently backfire on them as H&M will use any words / actions as the bullets to shoot them with. Don’t give them the ammunition. Sit tight at a distance and watch the inevitable declining spiral don’t get in its way!

And then, once they're irrelevant and once there is a new king, revise the entire titles thing for the whole gang so H can't claim victimisation (he will).

I always thought it was awful, crumpled etc. Until saw it displayed in an exho in KP, and then I changed my mind.... absolutely gorgeous. OK, yes, the style is now out of fashion, but the impact was amazing. Probably helped by great lighting in the exho, and the fact that all the creases had gone!

I was in California at the time of the wedding of Charles and Diana. There was major interest in it.
