Absolutely.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I must admit finding something in my eye when reading both.

You both come across as being so well grounded, strong and quite rightly incredibly proud of your children Flowers .

But are managing to avoid being seen and being chased by paps (when they don't announce their itinerary 🙄)

"Tina Brown, the author and former Vanity Fair editor, summed up the forthcoming Sussex trip thus: “As usual, it’s all threatening to go tits up.”

What more is there to say?

I doubt the article is correct when it says the Royal family are "braced" for the visit though. Resigned is probably more accurate. They are getting on with their lives and engagements.

Interesting - I particularly liked this bit: Tina Brown, the author and former Vanity Fair editor, summed up the forthcoming Sussex trip thus: “As usual, it’s all threatening to go tits up.”

Slightly disappointed though that TB did not take the opportunity to use As ever instead of As usual 😂

Unfortunately h can't grasp the fact that he isn't embroiled in a battle with the home office. A battle requires 2 sides, the home office gave their decision and walked away. Just h arguing with himself.....as ever!

Puzzledandpissedoff · 03/07/2026 15:11

Warmest thoughts to you both, @Dameputtingonabraveface and @Ferryl

Only thing is, when you're rightly admiring the way the kids have turned out, don't forget to give yourself due credit - I'm quite sure they didn't get that way without wise and loving guidance Flowers

RecoIIectionsMayVary · 03/07/2026 15:13

I am going to give up my job if I want to keep up!

Thanks for the new thread.

Edited to add I have to post pointless bits like this so I can go back and like posts under the right username.

True - he isn't embroiled in a battle with anyone! One person referred to the "feud" with the family. There is no feud.
The demons are all his.

In her last as ever video Megz was seen wearing a ring v similar to Catherine’s. The earrings that Catherine wore match her ring….

Only payday in sight is Meghan's memoir and/or a Kardashian type reality tv series.

Or a sex tape.

Surely the offer is for H and M to stay at BP but not necessarily to meet with any members of the RF?

From the article it appears that any offer hasn't been accepted yet. Who knows what will actually happen but the only member of Harry's family who has been mentioned for a possible meeting is the King.

It struck me as I watched Wimbledon that whatever they pull next week will still end with Catherine on Centre Court presenting trophies.

Last week we discussed Meghan posing with and flashing a fake Diana ring on her As Ever advertising videos

Yesterday Catherine was wearing the real Diana ring - but had paired it with matching Diana-style earrings made from the (cheaper) gemstones lapis lazuli and moonstone which someone from the style section of the DM had priced up at a modest £150

.... possibly a coincidence .... 😉

I sometimes think that the two of them must spend all day poring over the papers and obsessing about what the RF have been up to so they can try to subvert the attention and derail . What a way to spend your life.
