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.

One simply doesn’t turn up at Buckingham palace and expect a room!

Yes the desperation from certain quarters to try and shut posters up because their heroes have made themselves look like a right tits!

Why not just discuss the points people make like mature adults instead of making it personal? It's childish to assume that anyone who disagrees with you must be a fan or thinks Harry and Meghan are "heroes." You don't like being labelled a hater, yet you do exactly the same thing. And why is it "desperation" simply because someone has a different opinion to you? By that logic, are you just as desperate to see Harry and Meghan's downfall? Why not address the argument instead of trying to label people or question their motives?

Well just proves my point, you would rather insult and mock people then actually address the point being made.

Because all of these threads merge in to one!

It’s the same thing over and over!

Posters bonding over H&M bashing and how dreadful they are.

And praising W & C and saying how saintly they are!

When none of us know anything about these people in reality!

You are joking?! Considering H&M have laid their ‘so called’ lives bare to any newspaper or magazine who will give them PR, and how the vast majority of people see them for the entitled, shameless, lying, drama llamas that they are, you think this can’t be discussed and talked through … ne t you’ll be telling us Farage and Trump are gentlemen and let them get on because we don’t know them 🙄

I’ve got the theme tune stuck in my head now! If your mansion house needs haunting just call Rentaghost 👻

And yet strangely enough, racists still remain racist after four years! If these disgusting racist scumbags were affronted by black heritage “polluting” the royal family as they put it, then their views will not have changed four years on, indeed their ire is more likely to be focused on the children.

Oh I thought racists were able to stop being racist if they have a jolly good think about it all. Can’t remember where I heard that now - ah yes, it comes from the story of Harry the rehabilitated racist who still says racist things

We've got spooks and ghouls and
freaks and fools at Rentaghost
Hear the Phantom of the

Remember what you see is not
a mystery but Rentaghost!
🤣 me too now!

Yes, he was demonstrably racist, wasn't he? Obviously all ok now.

The Times has the most coherent account of the sequence of events. Harry had a deadline of Friday to confirm. On Saturday he declined, saying the accommodation on offer wasn't suitable. Shortly afterwards, he changed his mind and said he would accept. Courtiers are said to be concerned sbout tomorrow's judgement in the Daily Mail case. The palace said he was too late and couldn't stay.

I'm trying to imagine working for the Sussexes. I can't. My imagination isn't up to it.

“Courtiers said that there was concern about the Daily Mail…”

I suspect that PH saying that he was planning a victory speech even if he only won one of the 14 claims against ANL tomorrow when the judgement is published - makes BP / RF concerned that he will use BP as the backdrop for his ‘victory speech’ - even if it’s just outside the gates…..or footage of him sweeping in and out of the gates at speed with helicopters filming the shenanigans.

I can imagine BP not wanting to be associated or “Sussex adjacent” to his psychodrama tomorrow - but PH himself offered them the perfectly reasonable get out clause by not meeting their deadline. He’s chosen to stay in hotels every single time before as a preference to BP - so not a biggy for him - unless he makes it so.

Hartley hare was alarming!!! 😱 , I was terrified of the theme tune to a children’s tv series, I’ve forgotten the name but I recall there being forest and lots of large stones in the introduction!! , I think it was a adventure or mystery series?

adragoncalledaudrey · 06/07/2026 12:13

I don’t think anyone working for the Sussex family would be delighted at the seemingly continuous change of plans. It must feel like a logistical nightmare.

Will they do this? Will they do that?

There’s a picture of them at the start of the thread on a ship I think. They both look very much at ease on the water.

I’d be sorting them out with a berth on the Cutty Sark or Golden Hind. That should be secure enough - I’m sure they will be protected to a level and it beats a Premier Inn.

A nice barge might do for Birmingham too…

I speak in jest of course but it seems like such a kerfuffle over nowt.

A gracious guest would give their host plenty of notice of their hopes to stay or would have alternative accommodation in place surely and advise them of such?

As a host? I’d have the hump. Whether it is coming from the Press or the horse’s mouth or a bit of both.

It seems rude and entitled to have folk on pins - family or not.

People on here have clearly argued, and with evidence. The whole issue of RAVEC and security has been explained, time and time again.
Now if some people still don't understand how it works, that's on them.
It is possible to inform oneself.

That's an astute observation. Buckingham Palace front elevation would make the perfect backdrop and couldn't possibly be allowed.
