The ongoing dramas from Montecito courtesy of H&M.

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

Lady Colin C (yes, I know) 🙄 was on a podcast and Harry told his friends that this happened and it's why he wouldn't meet T markle

Ah, Lady C strikes again! So how will Harry account for that letter Meghan wrote to her father, apparently ‘upset’ by the tabloid deal, if she’d supposedly told him terrible things about ‘Daddy’? Where will Doria fit into all this?? Yikes. I think Lady C does over-egg things a lot sometimes.

That article is a contrived piece to try and address all of the criticisms made about her across SM.

It might work for MM, which is the clear objective, but it’s pretty bleak for H. Where is he in all this?

MM is being cultivated for the inevitable tell all autobiography. Her circle of influential women is not looking out for her interests, but theirs.

So grubby aren't they? Women supporting women my arse. They are all piranhas

Sharks circling was my thought. But it’s the world they chose. Once again I’ll quote the inimitable Sir Humphrey. “It’s your job, Prime Minister, and you wanted it.”

The ‘story’ will be post divorce - where she will trash the RF - but by then W&C likely to be K&Q - and MM’s spite and ‘secrets’ will be at the optimum value to tear down a young popular monarchy - much more devastation - no one cares about KC3 and QC dirt as they have already blotted their copy books.

Why would she know anything about them - it's clear from Spare and seeing them together they were never close - she has a track record of attacking Catherine - from wedding onwards and the cancer scare stuff I think burned a lot of celbs in US who had a go at Catherine then looked mean picking on a cancer suffering mother with young kids.

Longer it goes on clearer it is they have no RF connections at all - and RF do seem to have seen her coming to an extent.

Not to mention - there is no precedent for taking titles thanks to Andrew - and I don't think William has much affection left for either of them - so there is that to hold over her.

Constant contradictions ffs.

Then perhaps write a heartfelt apology to your brother, dad, mother and sister in law, for the sake of your children but of course not

Mylovelygreendress · 07/05/2026 13:35

I tend to think that any divorce settlement will have very strict conditions attached . Meghan will want to hang on to her title so may not have the freedom to write Spare 2 .

Well without a title she is a nobody let’s face it tho she has got the two kids as her collateral

Harry is sad his children are missing out? Rubbish. All he has to do is spend time with the family at Balmoral and hey presto, a childhood like his. But he never took them, he doesn't take them and i doubt he ever will.

But of course none of this is his fault

Starryfifty · 07/05/2026 14:02

KC is said to be delighted at the prospect of the kids being educated in UK 🙄

Harry is so dumb. His son and Louis are so close in age. It could have been a lovely friendship

Agree. Even if Meghan or Harry wanted to go after Catherine again it's clear they don't have anything to do it with. Lip gloss, flowers, etc Spare tried very hard but just couldn't find anything to use. I doubt Meghan, in her two whole years in the UK has anything else.

MrsMitford3 · 07/05/2026 14:04

That picture looks like it is from a movie trailer about 2 small children alone on an island fighting for survival.

Nothing in this picture says happy family, nice day out, happy birthday etc

It is just barren and sad

I think it’s also because of the coverage of the Wales children - A+L have to have that too. I’m not sure whether she has convinced herself that there is a similar level of interest or just that there should be. Her attempts to compete are painful to watch 😬

The more she issues, the less people care. It's the law of diminishing returns . More of the old. Same, same as ever. We've seen it. We don't care. Even her fans must be bored of it.

It's hilarious when written like that.

The issues with Catherine are lip gloss, flowers and tights.

I mean, What A Bitch.

What a load of piffle. All that Harry wants is recognition of his children in the UK. He wants them to be seen in the same light as the Wales children. Too late old boy - you made your bed so carry on!

Effervescentfrothy · 07/05/2026 14:22

Harry really is a complete fantasist. The chickens have come home to roost. Rather apposite really.

HoldMyWine · 07/05/2026 14:22

I have zoomed in on the photo and can’t work out what I going on with Lily’s arm. It looks like she has 2 with no hand. It’s weird.

Deep down - insofar as anything about Harry can be called 'deep' - he would love his children to be waving from the Buckingham Palace balcony and riding in carriages on Trooping. He never imagined it could be any other way. Never mind all his waffle about 'press intrusion'. Now he's stuck in California and his wife won't let the children visit his home country. Becoz sekurridee.

I think she's holding a stick in her right hand - thicker than A's and pointing up rather than down. It looks flesh coloured? Only a quick glance so probably wrong!

Thank you for the new thread @HoldMyWine

The birthday puff piece from People. Why is Meghan obsessed with going on “dates” with her own family?

It also repeats Harry’s racist remarks about being glad his genes prevailed over Meghan’s!

https://people.com/meghan-markle-celebrates-prince-archie-7th-birthday-new-photos-princess-lilibet-11967353

A funny thing - while looking at that People piece this pops up 😂😂

Harry will also write a book, give a tell all interview post divorce. He's a nasty, bitter man and he'd be quite happy to throw her under the bus

sickofsixseven · 07/05/2026 14:45

IcedPurple · 07/05/2026 13:03

I agree.

Montecito is supposedly a beautiful place, but there is nothing enviable about this landscape. It looks barren and lonely, almost like a disaster film where the children were the only ones left alive after a giant meteor struck earth, and are now having to survive alone in the great wilderness.

Yes, it could be a still from 28 years later or something like that

Papercompany · 07/05/2026 14:48

In that article it says something about Harry believing this is the life his Mum would want for him..... nobody can speak for the dead but I think any mother would be horrified that their two children don't speak to each other and that their grandchildren don't know each other. But that wouldn't suit Harry's narrative..

Confused Little Girl GIF

Day dates with Archie? I've heard a load of tripe but she has surpassed herself this time. Doesn't she realise this is what a mother does every day in the normal world? Feeds her children?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 07/05/2026 14:53

Why would she know anything about them - it's clear from Spare and seeing them together they were never close

She may not have been close to W&C, @AprilMizzel, but Harry was, and as with details about the rest of the family he's probably stupid enough to have shared the lot with her

Remember the notes she claimed to have found when clearing Nott Cott - as if she'd ever have been parted from them Hmm - and her remarks that she "never signed anything" such as an NDA, and "could speak up but chooses not to"?

Whether she'd be believable is another matter, but I don't doubt for an instant that she'll have saved a lot up intending to sell it one day

So Meghan has just posted this picture on her Instagram page

.... I wonder which other brother and sister recently posted birthday photos at the beach?

Originality? not

Sorry if already mentioned, but note the shadow bottom left. There is someone stood there off frame.

Photo attached.
