Wow new thread already thanks @OctopusFriend

In the light of the last few days we should change title to self inflicted PR disasters!

I suspect from the tone of recent articles and the HAMsters recent behaviour that the Mail has mostly won but there are some crumbs for the claimants. Can't wait to see.

I’m here for the shit and giggles tomorrow.
Shall we have a sweep on what we think will be the result of the court case?
Winner gets an extra sausage and a cheese hat. 🎩

They've always been self inflicted.

I think another issue (one of many) is boredom. What do these paid actually do on a daily basis?? Absolutely fook all by the look of it. Two nannies so they are not even doing the daily parenting grind

I've often thought the same. Neither has a job. Neither seems to have any real passions in life either. I also don't think they're doing much day to day raising of the children either. Nor do they seem to have much of a social life. How exactly to they pass the time rattling around that monstrosity of a house?

Thanks for the new thread.

So judgement on the ANL case tomorrow at 2? I wonder if Harry knows the outcome yet. I also wonder if royal staff were worried about the possibility of Harry delivering a 'speech' about the verdict with BP as the backdrop? That would be a tad embarrassing.

Yes, I said I thought so on the old thread!

They don't patronise the arts, that's for sure.

Wow...you take a break to celebrate 4th of July and an entire thread goes by.

Tomorrow is another day with more opportunities for drama and ludicrous behaviour.

shockthemonkey · Today 17:11

Hope you had a happy fourth, @My2cents1975 ! As for what you’ve missed, it’s the old “plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose”. Just gone up a gear!

Thanks for the thread.

William said on the podcast with Travis that if England make the finals he will definitely be at the match.
I don’t think he can really eat up the air miles for a quarter final or even a semi final. I’m sure he’s got other commitments.

Lunde · Today 17:21

IcedPurple · Today 16:37

It's a difficult one. William will be hoping England make it into the semis, on the 14th. Or even the final on the 19th! So that would involve hanging around in America for several days. It's a tough call, because he would be expected to be seen at at least one match, and I'm sure he'd want to too. If Norway end up beating England and William wasn't there, it would mean he hadn't attended any matches. But it's not like a tournament in Europe where he could just fly there and back in a day.

The kids are off school now so they could have a holiday in the US and/or Canada ... hell I bet Taylor Swift would lend them one of her houses

If anyone had the latest Neil Sean pop up on their youtube feed - he has a source that told him (after the event) that Taylor and Travis had visited William and Catherine at KP to finalize the podcast then the 4 of them went out to dinner in Notting Hill without anyone knowing a thing about it!

They pore over media reports about themselves whilst becoming
increasingly enraged. I think they have a war room where the two of them plot their revenge. It has supplies of weed , big screens to watch coverage of RF events and a large drinks cabinet. Also a chaise longue for each of them to lie on whilst fanning themselves.

Yes, I really think this is how they spend their time. Googling themselves, scrolling through social media to see if they get mentioned, phoning their pet hacks to issue the latest clap back to some trivial story. Good thing they found freedom eh?

2 pm tomorrow - by e-mail 😂😂😂- this restricts grandstanding on the court steps

Oh well spotted, Lunde!!; I've no idea how the timings of these things work so it's good to see it properly confirmed

And thanks for the new thread, @OctopusFriend

The offer of BP rather than anywhere a member of the family, or indeed anyone at all, lives is very telling and is going to feel like a dagger to Harry’s heart. BP is to become a working building: functions, receptions, tourists, offices. putting up foreign visitors. Harry is being put in the same footing as ambassador x, prince Y of random country, president z of other random country. Befits the requirements of his position as the king’s son; not family at all. It’s pretty shocking, really.

As for Harry’s yes we’ve been offered rooms, no we can’t accept them because there are too many entrances/exits and it’s not safe, formally turning down offer, verbally accepting an offer that no longer exists because he turned it down, saying withdrawal of the offer at the last minute is because of the ANL judgement and nothing else…I mean he’s just pathetic. He can’t make any decisions for himself. He’s listening to his security people, whoever on his staff is liaising with BP, whoever is liaising with KC’s aides, his wife, the journos on WhatsApp, he’s telling this person to brief this, that person to brief that, putting a third thing on the WhatsApp. What a way to live. Utter chaos, all about the noise and zero substance to any of it. If he thinks it’s not his doing and that it’s BP giving out mixed messages and ducking him about, why can’t he take control of the situation and sort shit out for himself?? Or at the very least, stop briefing the media and just bloody get on with it!!

I just couldn’t cope with him as a child or brother or husband. He’s just hopeless. So stressful. Sorry to say it, but I’m sure people in the U.K. will be thinking that life is easier for them when he’s 5000 miles away in California!

Lunde · Today 17:46

Isn't Harry supposed to be at the IG forum at Chatham House tomorrow which is at the same time as the ANL verdict?

Do we think he will bail on them or send one of his dim and dingy video messages like he did for IG in Germany the other week?

Starryfifty · Today 17:57

I don't think he will come tbh

Puzzledandpissedoff · Today 17:59

Yes I believe so, @Lunde, and given they've not yet seen fit to get rid of him maybe he feels these are people likely to be "on his side" if things don't go his way?

Whether they actually will be remains to be seen, but doubtless there'll still be journos yelling outside which should be interesting

IMHO, offering BP shows that KC3 really isn’t desperate to see his younger son. He was keeping him at arms length. Rescinding the offer proves. I appreciate BP probably isn’t geared to hosting guests on a daily basis but they could have made it happen, if they really wanted.

It's in KC and entire family best interest to keep well away from him

Yes I agree. I've never thought Charles was desperate to meet Harry and I've never bought the 'Charles is weak' line either. Pretty much his first act as King was to wish him 'good luck in his new life overseas'. I'm sure it's not what he would have wished for, but he seems resigned to the rupture in relations.

I think there is no trust atm.

The other royals know that Harry and Meghan perceive them mostly as content for the next Netflix show or book deal. No conversation or comment will ever be private.

Harry whines a lot about his own privacy while he is happy to trample on the privacy of others.
