The ongoing dramas from Montecito courtesy of H&M.

I can’t see another thread but I made the same mistake last time …

I think Harry has said he isn’t a city boy. I can believe that. His love for Africa suggests that freedom and open spaces are very important to him. Unfortunately he married someone who would be bored to tears in the environment that is probably the most beneficial to him.

I see Doria is back. I have adult children and if my daughter publicly wished another mother a happy Mother's Day to the most maternal mother (or what ever that verbal diarrhoea was) on SM, I'd be deeply hurt

Such a bizarre photo - get me looking gorgeous kissing my mom. Kids - hang about there in the back but hide your face. Doria is like wtf 😂

Bizarre indeed, even by Meghan's bizarre standards.

Doria is grimacing and the body language is weird.

But then I guess that's not surprising. How many times did they have to take the photo to ensure that the 7 and 4 year olds could be clearly seen but had their faces hidden? I'd be grimacing too.

Really, this 'look at my kids but don't look at my kids' thing is creepy and weird.

The photos of Disney are utterly perplexing. Why have they shared such awful photos, from Disneyland of all places!? Even if she wanted to carry on the (getting quite creepy) back of the head shots, why not in front of the castle, or on Main Street or both children hugging Mickey? It really doesn’t take much to get a good photo at Disney with all the beautiful, bright colours and surroundings. These photos look so dull and lifeless. I just can’t figure out what she was going for. As somebody who loves a Disney holiday, it’s annoyed and confused me enough to make my first post on these threads!

I strongly believe there are no depths H&M will plummet to now. I think they are aiming for a Beckham style brand (ignoring how badly it's turned out for Brooklyn)

Literally nothing that woman cares about apart from money and status.

The Beckhams launched their brand when they were a hot and massively famous young couple. He was one of the most talented and most handsome footballers in the world, and she was part of the most successful girl band ever.

By contrast, what do two middle aged has beens have to offer?

They can try but they will fail, they literally have nothing to offer, unlike the Beckhams, love them or hate them they have the goods to back their brand up, hence their huge success over decades.

It's really odd - but Harry and Meghan are wearing the same clothes as last year and Lili is wearing the same dress design with a different pattern.

Only 2026 Archie looks different - but there is something strange about the image of Archie as his left arm looks odd - he appears to be holding hands while actually his arm reaches into Meghan's hip or in front of Meghan while her elbow rests on his shoulder - is it photoshopped?

Neither children appear red-headed in 2026

I think Harry's shoes are different, and I think Meghan's trousers are baggier now? And Lili's found some shoes. I can't imagine why she didn't have any on last year, I would have thought letting her run round Disneyland barefoot would be both dangerous and extremely unhygienic.

I don’t think either of them are redheads. I think clever lighting/filtering and wishful thinking on the part of the media have conspired to convince people they are.

Yes absolutely they'll fail but the pair of them don't see what everyone else sees

HoldMyWine · 12/05/2026 21:55

I’m not convinced they are new photos just more from their visit last year. The children haven’t grown in a year for a start.

I think that’s an internet conspiracy - there are small differences between what Harry (different shoes) and Meghan (bottom of jeans turned up in latest photos) are wearing in the photos. I’m not at all surprised that Harry doesn’t vary his wardrobe much, and Meghan seems to have adopted a white shirt and jeans as her signature style for years now.

Ohpleeeease · 12/05/2026 22:09

If it were anyone else I’d say they were doing what many celebrities do, wearing the same clothes to make paparazzi pictures less interesting and therefore unsellable. Maybe that’s what H thinks they’re doing. However that seems out of character for MM.

Starryfifty · 12/05/2026 22:16

watched a clip of Kinsey Schofield and Rupert bell. Apparently both were very triggered by KC visit to the US to meet Trump as Trump has ridiculed both of them and they felt KC was disloyal 🙄🙄

If that’s true then I don’t think they have much of a brain between them.
How could Harry not know the role of a constitutional monarch?
Does he not know that the monarch has to go where the government asks them to??
Look at some of the leaders QEll had to meet!!

It's odd that at 41 - and having grown up in the RF - Harry still has no idea what a constitutional monarch does. He doesn't understand that the RF go where the government sends them and that the RF can't spout their own political views.

H is only 41 ?? My god, he has aged

Not2identifying · 12/05/2026 23:29

I think not understanding how a constitutional monarchy works is just the tip of the iceberg of things he doesn't understand. 😉

Oh I agree

But he is wanting a job in the family business without knowing what the family business does

I am glad to see Doria looking happy and well. Pleased that she is in these childrens lives. I always saw Doria as a very vulnerable young woman when she married the much older Thomas and seemingly was used for keeping house and clearing up after the his hideous teenage children. Glad she got out when she did.
