They wanted to take ‘their own’ photographer ( I’m pretty sure it was Misan Harriman (sp?) who is currently doing a terrible job of the South Bank Center) to the meeting between the 4 of them and QEII.
They were firmly told NO which shows how little trust exsisted at that point. That was the last meeting of Meghan and Queen.
Meghan has never been to Balmoral and frankly I think the RF wnt to keep it that way.
I can’t see them being invited there. It’s a huge leap from total estrangement to living together for a week - even in a large place.
I also think William would put his foot down and give the King an ultimatum if he tried to re introduce H&M to royal life -even their private one.
I also believe that as much as The King might love Harry - he loves Camilla, William , Catherine and the Wales children more,
Theres just no comparison really is there? He will never choose Harry over Camilla. - and loath as I am to say it - l agree . Camilla has never ever betrayed him or any member of the rf by blabbing or trying to make money.

Yes, neither Harry nor Meghan can be trusted, and I think that will ultimately make KC3 keep them at arm's length. It's not a question of any lack of affection for Harry - I can believe that the estrangement causes him a lot of private anguish. It's a question of doing the right thing by the monarchy, and I think that's a duty he takes very seriously.

She's talking about the nameless husband again and what his favourite jam is as well as " Lili" and "Arch" in someone else's kitchen. 🙄 in ecstasy as ever.

There's nothing KC can do. They will exploit and monetise any social experience for their own benefit. From the very beginning, they were invited to Balmoral every year, and they always refused.
Even the late Queen's last holiday there. They could have gone with the children to say goodbye.
They didn't, because they thought they'd got too important. Their choice.

I'm cringing for her. Awful.

I happened to see this pic of Cressida's husband - he's got a bit of Shades of Grey about him 😉 . She certainly traded up from Harry!

Everyone in a family has a different favourite jam, groundbreaking.

Anyway

Like@BasiliskStareI think that Meghan could be successful in a lifestyle brand. But she needs it to reflect her actual lifestyle, not what she thinks people in her inlaws country eat. The only way forward is for her to actually be authentic with what she does rather than talk about being authentic. Sell things the public can believe you eat or use at a price point that suits your market (and find out who your market is).

I do wonder if the investments are going to be successful because that might be what Meghan is actually good at. As a mimic she might have the instincts to know what others will buy in a way she fails to do in her own business?

your market is).

James Place is a superb charity. It does such important work, and does it well.

Yes, it's a great cause to support.

Watched the ch5 documentary. Harry's therapy 🙄 it's blatantly obvious looking back what Meg's intentions were. She isolated him from his friends and family from very early on.

also, Meghan looks very different from the wedding. Odd

Starryfifty · 25/05/2026 09:14

The new post is so dull. Everyone in the family loves my jam 🙄

She looks like a completely different person.

Of course they do . It’s served with flower sprinkles!

myrtleWilson · 25/05/2026 09:38

Is the ‘everyone likes a different jam’ filmed in the same kitchen as WLM or a different one?

I can’t decide which scenario is more pitiful… having to think up potential ‘cuts’ for various zeitgeist moments and film them way back when WLM was in production as in

”Now Meghan, this afternoon we’re filming everyone’s fave jams, then butt in butter on the counter top, a couple of birthday/anniversary skits, a memorial piece to be wheeled out in the event of notable death, some different games you can play whilst eating your wares for when mahjong drops out of fashion - will do Go and Kerplunk to cover all the bases”

or everytime she has a new idea she races round to film house “Ding Dong, Duchess here, don’t mind me - just had most marvellous idea about filming myself imbibing my delicious tea in the bath and cutting my toenails - I’ll be in one of the bathrooms for about an hour but I’ll be no bother at all”

it looks as if she’s had her hair cut much shorter.

LondonRidge · 25/05/2026 10:25

My god how is she not cringing about still having to make low quality jam adverts. The only possible explanation is that she knows that she can’t explain yet another massive flop and they’ve clearly got way too much stock left. How embarrassing.

her teeth look too big for her mouth. She was absolutely beautiful

It does, but I think she just has it tied back, as she has an apron on so she's trying to give serious cook vibes.

Personally, I don't think there's any way she'd cut her hair as it looks good loose and she has the choice of her typical slicked back look or loose waves. And also Catherine has long hair so if she is trying to compete she won't want to cut it.

Edited small spelling error.

It's hard to avoid the impression that William got all the mutual friends in the split. I really hope Harry has a few left who can support him.

But would anyone know if they have loads of surplus stock? Once again they fall into the trap of publicising a possibility that no one was paying any attention to.

I hope the same, MrsLF, but for those who value this kind of connection there was never going to be any kind of contest around which brother to "pick"

After all William's a future king and Harry ... isn't

Plus , discretion is very important and who knows what Harry would blab about them .

If William was an arrogant arse, he'd struggle for friends, PoW or not. He's clearly a decent human being and a good friend.
