They're loving this!

Sandringham House is open to the public at the moment (until the RHS Flower show starts on July 19th) - although Uncle Andy might have a couple of spare rooms!

Honestly, I think they're still in California. I think even Eugenie has distanced herself from them recently.

They've never had a problem getting 'coverage' though.

What they've been unable to do is to translate said 'coverage' into tangible gains for themselves. I don't see this as the exception to the rule.

I don't think H has got the will to bring A&L over and not take them back. Despite gossip , there is no sign of a divorce being on the cards. & I do hope there isn't.

I am minded to think M suspects all the security for the family is fine. I reckon she might be a wee bit nervous as to her reception , so that may be on her mind. I reckon we'll see her at the IG party , ( not with the children with KC, I hope there will be no photographs of that as QEII stipulated with Lily ) , but in very curated circumstances.

😂

Although he brought Meghan and the kids to the Jubilee in 2020 without this hysteria about security.

They won't, because MM is too aware and she'll know that BLT they are being ripped to shreds over the emotional blackmail. There is no way they can parlay the overriding hostility into cold hard cash, unless they do another Netflix-style doc about this visit, and I just don't think Netflix or any other major streamer will want it. Channel 5 might, for their 8pm naff Royal docs with even naffer commentators slot, but they won't pay the big bucks because they don't have any.

Well, exactly. They’re making themselves look a bigger pair of scurrilous halfwits than usual.
What good is it doing them?

But Meghan wanted to wear couture and attend the fancy Jubilee events. So since she was coming, the kids could come too. Also, I have no doubt she was hoping for a 'Lilibet meets Lilibet' photo, and they flounced off when that was denied them.

The drama over 'security' may indeed be because Meghan does not want to come and is pretending it's because she's worried about 'security'. And she won't allow the children to travel without her. So Harry is getting his knickers in a twist trying to force RAVEC's hand to appease her. Not that he's above being a drama queen and all round arrogant little prat on his own behalf of course.

I don't think H has got the will to bring A&L over and not take them back

You could well be right, @BasiliskStare, and FWIW I hope you are

It's partly why I called this a potential risk, but people who feel tortured can do unusual things and if Harry isn't feeling that way someone should tell his face

Yeah Columbia thought Archewell was going to be a big donor to projects there and laid out the red carpet - but ended up with a drum and £8k

IMHO not as bad as when the Sussexes visited the school with disadvantaged kids in Harlem - the school got a veg box, had to listen to Meghan read "The Bench" and then Harry and Meghan wanted each child to donate $5 to Archewell 🙄

Archewell seems to have gone totally dead these days

He's a paranoid idiot.

They wouldn't come to anything for Camilla. They MIGHT for Charles, although suspect it will be all the same let's make it all about H&M saga.

The thing that really annoys me is that none of this is necessary because there is no real reason that they need to come at all!
’one year to go’ 🙄ffs. Please don’t let that become a ‘thing’. It’s an event with approx 550 competitors. Yes, it’s sad they are injured service men but I would much much prefer to seethe £26 million we are giving being spent on housing our homeless servicemen & women! It’s an utterly nothing event.
Parkruns regularly get more than that and it’s weekly!!(The biggest got 6200 people!!)
One child? Is that the right name? Couldn’t he do a video call?
The Chelsea pensioners - really.??? Why? For what reason?
Visiting his family - well he needs to find family who want to see him before announcing he’s coming to see them. I can’t think of any member of the RF/Windsors who would be happy to see HAM and kids. They are not stupid -their loyalty is with the king & William.
Friends - he dumped most of them at the behest of Meghan. Family friends like the Van Cutsems, Grosvenors, the Van Straubenzees Tiggy Legge Bourke (sorry Tiggy if you are on here -can't remember your married name) both Tiggy and Emille VanC roundly scolded him when he did the OW interview -I suspect once he did Netflix/spare they cut off communication. Why wouldn’t they? The6 have been friends with the king for decades, their children are friends with William and their lives are intertwined with god children.
Im sure William will not have made anybody choose but it’s patently obvious that you cannot be friends with both. Theres too much at stake - HAM have flappy mouths . For example if they knew what cancer Catherine had they would hve leaked it.
Visiting Diana’s grave - seriously? Wouldn’t it be better to do that quietly without all of the stupid debacle? Does he think his mum would have approved? She would be appalled and furious.
It’s all so utterly unecessary, attention seeking and pathetic. I’m sick of him demanding bloody security at the cost of hundreds of thousands which, I know is a drop in the HMRC ocean -but it would pay for a few more nurses training wouldn’t it? Or some books at primary schools. Anything but spending it on them.

Prince Harry will NOT bring Meghan, Archie and Lilibet to London: Latest twist in Sussex saga as it emerges family may still visit Diana's grave

So HAM are now reportedly planning some kind of Addams Family grave outing. Maybe the new Spencer archaeology professor can make sure the grown-ups don’t dig up anything they shouldn’t.

I think they will come, just not go near bad scary London.

And supposedly the year-to-go thing is for the Patron to help drum up sponsorship. If you were a reputable company, would you be encouraged by this Patron's showing to hand over any part of your charity budget?

Invictus is dead.

He was back in Windsor doing something yesterday. Busy man. Beggars belief that HAM can expect to snap their fingers and expect him to find them a slot. I really hope he does the 20-minute teas-and-biscuits thing again. In central London.

Or badly, if she is deemed the breadwinner and his inheritances are all gone.

I would love the palace to announce 'Unfortunately due to the delays in making arrangements the King's diary is now full for the next 4 weeks'.

Obviously not going to happen, but he really does deserve it.

Was he? As you say, it just shows you how busy KC is. Harry wouldn't have the first idea though. How on earth does he fill his days? Getting angry with everyone?

Interesting 🤔. She's going to have to be canny.
