Will they stay at Royal Lodge? I really hope it all works out for KC and to see his grandchildren would be lovely.

Harry is wearing a baby blue linen shirt and a black 'Invictus Australia' baseball cap. Meghan is wearing a darker blue and white striped shirt.

Catherine is amazing!

Lovely that her husband, children, parents and brother were all there to meet her at the end. It must have been a really big deal for her. A great achievement.

It was, and what a lovely family she has.

Having spent the weekend following my son competing in a sporting event, it’s nice to know that Catherine had her family supporting her too, makes them seem relevant and as normal as they can be.

They just want an excuse to blame somebody else. Waaah we really wanted to come to the UK but nasty Charles won't let us have royal security so we can't come. She did the same to her own father about the wedding. He wasn't invited. He did not receive a an official wedding invitation. Harry has never even met him. Not once.

I just find that unbelievable. Harry was rich in time and money - why didn't he arrange to meet him?

I think it is pretty clear that Meghan did not want her father to meet Harry and would have engineered things even if he hadn’t made the faux pas with the paps which , in the scheme of things, was pretty minor .

Yes. That was an early red flag. They were engaged, yet he never met her Dad, even though she'd waxed lyrical about him on her blog, the Tig.

They will get security we know they will they know they will its just excuses at this point

They just want to get with the Wales family get … but they’re not needing it. H&M are just entitled arseholes, they want want want and are so deeply jealous of others including W&K plus their children too … what horrible little trolls that these two clowns are

I think it was less of a faux pas and more of a faux pap - I wonder if MM actually set him with that pap - to give her the excuse to exclude him? She’s malicious, manipulative and devious (eg the letter she sent knowing it would be leaked, feeding Scobie info anonymously throughout).

Also think MM has used this exact same pap herself since?

More of a womaniser than a paedo, sex with a 17 year old may be distasteful but it's legal here, but he always thought he was irrisistable to women.

A 17 year old traficked woman, her consent is very debatable. And that´s the one he was caught with documentally. Do you really think that is the only one?

Harry has always been offered royal accommodation on his visits so this isn't news at all.

It's clear someone is leaking to the eevil Briddish press to drum up interest in this 'visit'. And I very much doubt it's the King.

I think it is in everyone’s interest to leak this story tbh.

C & C position themselves as accommodating and get to distract from the ongoing AMW investigation.

H & M potentially position themselves as being back in the fold again.

The RF overall benefits from not having an ongoing soap opera in their midst.

Various thoroughly ghastly pundits such as Marc Dolan, Richard Eden, even Laurence Llewelyn Bowen is in on the act now , get to make money off the ongoing dramatisation of this story.

As a Republican, I think the level of interest is absurd and that we should keep our eyes well and truly trained on the activities within the AMW investigation and who knew, what and when?

They're not "distracting" from AMW. What nonsense! AMW seems to have gone to ground, what is there to add for the moment?
The PR and machination are entirely from the Sussex camp. (Who interestingly enough have always been very quiet about AMW 🧐)
It's all about them.
H&M are the ones hoping to gain, with publicity and monetising. The RF are just getting on with stuff.

No one who has been trafficked is deemed to have given consent - whether 7, 17 or 70. It’s a crime whether the punter knew if the woman was trafficked or not - age is irrelevant here.

You don't seem to understand who is feeding the press with all of the Harry stories 🤷‍♀️

I have literally just commented on that.

I said it was in everyone’s interest to leak the story, H & M included.

Did you not read my post properly?

However, there's no evidence that the RF have "leaked" anything.
They're not playing that silly game.
It's entirely the Sussexes.

MeetMeOnTheCorner · 29/06/2026 12:12

So is he not coming now? Police protection row? Seems to have blown up again now he cannot get his own way.

So let me get this straight..you are implying that the royal family are sneakily slipping ham a backhander to act like idiots and leak it personally to the press to …….checks notes……distract from the Andrew scandal? …..despite the fact it has been robustly reported in the press already!
A very interesting statement! 🫤

It’s bigger than that. He has been told that he isn’t getting the security lots of times. So he’s released his itinerary for his faux royal tour and thinks he will force their hand and set a precedent (won’t someone think of the poor sick children). And they’ve still said no.
He can’t afford to keep spending like he is. They did earn money from Netflix etc but that’s one and done. Apparently the estate in California is expensive to keep secure as it’s so big. It’s just another attempt to get somebody else to pay for his security saving him millions a year.

I agree . As far as I am aware AMW is still being investigated by the police ( and I for one hope he is charged) so unless he does something else , there is nothing to write/ discuss at the moment .
And yes it is interesting that The Office of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (!) have not issued a statement condemning AMW especially given M’s supposed support of women .
Makes me wonder if there is any truth in the rumours that AMW and M had encountered each other pre Harry .

Well she certainly befriended Eugenie at Soho House before she met Harry, and had been to Royal Lodge. The Sussexes maintained a friendship with the whole York family. Yes, it's a puzzler, the lack of any kind of condemnation....🧐
