I don’t think Meghan would show her face at the terribly English Wimbledon.
She knows she would be booed.

Emma was there .

I honestly don't think she'd care if she was booed.

Do they acknowledge Sussex family birthdays on social media?

The Royal Family did not acknowledge the Sussex's recent wedding anniversary which apparently left Hazbeen "shocked and depressed". The grey-rocking is very effective it seems! lol 🤣

That would be wonderful footage for their next victim tantrum - probs send it to RAVEC! Or her divorce doc - it’s all content

A family meal and they didn’t invite Harry ?? Another reason to sulk .

I think TBF for H the WRF adopted recognition of significant anniversaries a while ago. So eg 42 or 8th Wedding Anniversary - not on the cards. 50th or 10th perhaps.

I think it's only the children in direct line and their spouse / children who get one every year. Why that would leave a middle aged man shocked and depressed , that's another question. If he made a bit more effort and was trustworthy I am sure a private congratulations would have been sent. Or maybe they have and H has managed to keep his trap shut for once , or a private message isn't enough , it needs to be public. I just don't know with H - any of the above could be true. 😊

They also started doing most birthday acknowledgments on stories which expire rather than posts which makes it less obvious that they’ve dropped the Sussexes.

Shocked and depressed 🙄 he has never publicly acknowledged any of his own family celebrations. Did he acknowledge his sister in law's achievement at the weekend?

Of course not.
It's a one way street. Self absorbed.

He's very easily shocked, depressed and traumatised, isn't he? How on earth does he get through the day?
It's fortunate he doesn't need to go out to work.

Meghan still has t trademarked As Ever , apparently. Call me shocked.

The mail is making it sound like there was a specific plan to hve this high level meal together -it’s simply because it’s the Order of the Thistle day today so the King & Queen, PoW, Princess Royal & DoEdinburgh are there .
Of course they would eat together while they are all at Holyrood!

That's what i thought it was but couldn't read it

It won't be trademarked now. It's done. But latest was a rebrand. The one and only or such shite

Justdancevance · 01/07/2026 16:05

I’m afraid the Sussex’s have been hoisted with their own petard. They thought their PR campaign would force KC and the UK government into giving into their demands / tantrums

i think Harry is desperate for money hence bringing the whole family over as a carrot. I can’t imagine him winning in the ANL judgment, and having another legal bill to pay.

I hope Invictus are looking very carefully at this shit show and closing their cheque book too.

BasiliskStare · 01/07/2026 16:06

Ah @HoldMyWine "The one and only " mayhap 😂. No idea. This is business 101. It really isn't too hard if you get an expert to help you. And fill out the no doubt boring and interminable forms , correctly and on time.

Meg's best and dearest friend Serena Williams was at Wimbledon. Could Meg not have flown over to support? Or is that another relationship blown out of the water?

Did you see how she behaved when she lost? Barely shook the opponent’s hand or looked at her. What an asshole.

Her and kids will be here. They cannot afford not to. They need this RF adjacency more than ever now

Perhaps it's finally clicked that's all they have? They're not exactly successful on their own merits.

Agree. A big slice of humble pie served up at the 50 mins Balmoral tea party - or maybe KC3 will arrange to be down south to ensure it’s only 50mins otherwise he will have to put them up for the night.

Why has PH not accepted the royal accommodation? Is he hanging out for Windsor Castle or Balmoral?

Reminded me of her poor behaviour when Naomi Osaka beat her in the US Open Final in 2018 .

Yes that was disgraceful. I admire her as an athlete but she’s arrogant and entitled.

The more I think about it - the more I think H who is early middled aged really isn't acting like a responsible adult. "My father cut me off financially" - not understanding the Ravec appeal - his bizarre Spotify ideas - I'll bequest IG to Archie ( my paraphrase) . Writing to the Mayor of NY about security - bleating about an establishment stitch up to the BBC. I know he's not academically clever - there are receipts for that - but surely to goodness he has enough experience to know there are people worse off than him ( given his life of service ) and he has been briefed multiple times about the security which will be afforded to him. Which is more than he could expect , I think. I think he's either more dim or more unkind than I thought he was. My opinion , just from public announcements. I don't know.
