That article about M's ring is quite nauseating.
I'm still stunned by the wistful gazing and jam licking video. I'd love to see Anne's expression viewing that.

I’ve never seen that before, it’s beautiful.

It's thought that the QM inherited it from the ghastly Dame Margaret Greville, along with a huge haul of other pieces, including the whacking great Boucheron Honeycomb Tiara, much beloved of Cams, and the Emerald Kokoshnik, worn by Eugenie for her wedding (I've read heavy hints that that's the one Meghan wanted, but because she and H had such a short engagement, Eugenie had already asked for it and QEII had said yes).

It's hilarious.

Very Amandaland. Or maybe a French & Saunders parody.

Hygge Tygge #shitshops.

Her perching her backside on the counter next to the unwrapped butter 😮with a wistful look on her face is maybe my favourite shot.

HoldMyWine · 13/05/2026 22:54

lol at Amandaland. The video is very much like a parody.

This article is a very wordy way of saying she didn't like it! I wonder what has happened to the original central diamond?

That's a lot of guff to say she basically hated her husband's choice and wanted a different ring.

The aquamarine was Diana’s ‘divorce’ gift to herself.
It’s lovely but she only wore it a few times in public. Meghan first wore it on the evening of their wedding,

I'm not sure I would wear a divorce gift on the eve of my wedding.

Maureen Callahan and Kinsey S. Great insight into the gruesome m.youtube.com/watch?v=iG2me6MtEoc&pp=0gcJCU8Co7VqN5tD

It tells me she's never satisfied (which explains a lot about so many other things). She didn't just change the original ring once, she's then kept on changing it, over and over. New settings, new, bigger diamonds and other stones. She'll likely change it again and there'll be another puff piece talking about how she's 'grown and evolved', but it all comes down to a visible demonstration that she can never be happy with what she has.

She's Urdine Spragged her engagement ring.

Her engagement ring was boring and probably a bit disappointing, but I'm old school in that you don't change it because it represents a moment in time and a promise made.
The object carries meaning in itself and can't be replaced.

What she should have done instead is get a new ring for an anniversary present.
That's what I did 😁. I had a new ring for my 5th 19th 25th and 27th anniversaries 🤣

I love rings.

But only one is my engagement ring.

i think that’s what Kate has done - I think she knew how much Diana’s big blue meant to William and as he said in the engagement interview it was his way of including her.

But no new bride really wants a ring that comes with so much baggage.

She clearly only wears it now on ‘uniform’ days and special occasions, we’ve seen her out with a different sapphire and diamond ring in recent years which seems much less flashy and probably more her style.

Starryfifty · 14/05/2026 00:12

Why is he continuing to do this ??

He's so self absorbed about his own importance and relevance.

Starryfifty · 14/05/2026 00:12

Trying to upstage Kate's visit to Italy.

Trying to sound like a member of the Royal Family - seems to be a new PR push from Sunshine Sachs (positioning Meghan as a lifestyle guru and Harry as an international statesman 😂😂😂)

Trying to make himself relevant to UK issues to gain more donors for Ingriftus now that Australia has pulled the plug

Trying to jump on the bandwagon .... although William and Charles have been speaking out in recent years and I don't remember hearing support from Montecito.

Starryfifty · 14/05/2026 00:12

Because he is deluded and thinks he is important.

HoldMyWine · 14/05/2026 04:39

Why is the New Statesman giving him airtime. His opinion is worth nothing.

Thedom · 14/05/2026 05:34

Starryfifty · 14/05/2026 00:12

Invictus??? Look over there, what about all the anti semitics in the UK.

He is someone’s mouthpiece, everyone knows he doesn’t have the intellectual wit to even understand what is happening in the world, never mind comment on it.

I hadn't heard of this novel, but it is very fitting.

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 14/05/2026 06:19

They are endlessly entertaining. Harry is now a Serious Journalist (article originally perhaps written in crayon) while Meghan wears Mouse ear hats and is transported into writhing delight by fruit spread and sitting on the bread board.

Universe25 · 14/05/2026 06:39

Harry just shut the fuck up!!!! Nobody cares what you think??? Why can’t he just keep quiet for a couple of years??

What is wrong with the man!!! He just can’t help himself. And as a PP said why are they New Statesman even entertaining him?

He really really think he’s someone of importance that us oinks listen to.

He thought wearing a Nazi uniform was a good idea for gods sake, but oh of course wasn’t his fault. William made him to it!

I’m not a media person by any means but even I would be advising to keep a low profile for a couple of years. He’s really not doing himself any favours is he?

ps I notice the Daily Mail article hasn’t allowed comments, which are my favourite parts of any H&M articles!

😀😀 mine too, I often just click on the comments and completely bypass reading the article. There are some very witty and caustic DM readers !

Recklessismymiddlename · 14/05/2026 06:50

He’s also in the bbc news app. Why do these places entertain him? Concentrate on the people working for me!

Thedom · 14/05/2026 06:52

Anyway, Catherine has had a mega superstar welcome in Italy, H & M couldn’t let that trip pass without trying to attach themselves to the coattails of another RF event.

Starryfifty · 14/05/2026 00:12

I've just read this on the DM site and it's given me a grumpy start to the day. Who the f does he think he is!! I want to stick a big fat hatpin in his scrawny backside and hear the hiss of self importance come oozing out. Grrrr!

Indianrollerbird · 14/05/2026 07:03

Is he trying to up his own threat level again so he gets the security he wants pre Birmingham? And why isn’t he addressing anti semitism that is rife in his own back yard in the US? Whatever he’s doing, as ever, he is using the suffering of others for self promotion and self aggrandisement. Shame on him.

He really needs to STFU. How dare he pronounce on world events? We don’t care what he thinks!
