No - the money was originally from a charity foundation of Diana's. When she died, it was split into 2 foundations, one for each of the boys.

Harry's was the Glen Beg Foundation. He used the money from it to donate to Children in Need.

Yes - the Glen Beg foundation was removed as a charity in 2025 when all of its money was transferred to CiN

The Spirit of Invictus! I wonder what routes it will be on? Seems odd he wouldn’t be there for the launch - it’s not like you rustle up a new locomotive overnight so there must have been plans for some time. I wonder how much it cost - that might make a dent in the finances.

They’re still carrying on with the fake origin story of H ‘founding’ the games ffs.

He was badged up with it, after others had the idea and organised everything. Now he’s just a liability.

To be fair that's not a new locomotive that's a paint job. But it could be the sort of high profile drawing attention to Invictus event you might expect your Patron to be at. That said it is Euston , maybe he will be in Birmingham where there are no terrorist threats to see Henry coming into the station. 😂

GB news reporting that Meg & the Hamlets are now coming……..

I'm very amused by this non news: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yzd5lykv6o
Woman who married into the Royal Family but lives on another continent, may or may not come to the UK but if she comes to the UK will be involved in 'private family events.' This is even less interesting then knowing that I'm going to Slough tomorrow for a work event and on Sunday we are having a barbecue with friends. Why does the Sussex team need to keep announcing things that are NOT happening?!

There is also no way that photo isn't intended to be rage bait.

Meghan not expected to appear at UK events during Harry visit

It is not known whether Meghan will still visit the UK for any private visits, following reports she may be coming with the children.

Surely the ig could be merged with the Paralympic which is well established and crucially it’s for all countries not just ones we happen to be friends with. I just don’t see the point of separate games especially as they are so expensive.

PotolKimchi · Yesterday 22:38

What is a private family event? is that her and the kids hanging out with each other?
This implies (or is hinting) that they would like to see KC.
Or that they are going to see Earl Spencer?
Surely they just need to stop releasing these snippets- it's making them look even more ridiculous. 'Woman is coming with her kids to hang out with their extended family in private' is literally not a thing that needs a public press release unless you enjoy being made fun of!

@Not2identifying - my nn came from a post I read on MN once where someone said "what would you do if one of your children did this?" For some reason "I would fix them with a Basilisk stare" came into my mind. I have to say IRL I am very mild mannered so it is actually quite inappropriate - I just liked the sound of it 😂

Starryfifty · Yesterday 22:43

Why is she coming ?? Isn't he supposed to go home on Saturday? Do they know tomorrow is Friday ? And if it's a private get together, why this constant leaking ?

Meghan ‘bringing Archie and Lilibet to UK on private trip’

That is to my mind not a sweet pic to be published- MM telling her little girl off ? - holding the childs wrists and in her face, not even crouching down to be at her level.

All the better to pose in a see through dress, i suppose. They must have spent ages trailing the garden to get the light right. And picking that snap- surely a nornal person would say ' no, not that one, you can see my pants' ! So cringe and attention seeking.

But she looks good and that's the main thing. It's a creepy, odd photo, like all their family photos.

No way this trip will be private. HAM can't help but fuck it up unfortunately

BasiliskStare · Yesterday 22:48

So this from the Times article re H at the hospital " He told NHS nurses that he was aware of the “cuts and financial difficulties” to the health service as he spoke about “the insanity that seems to be circulating, not just in this country but in general”.
Wading into politics a tad H ? When will he learn to keep his trap shut.

Probably never and that is my final answer Jeremy.

Maybe to channel Diana?

I’ve said it on a previous thread but I’m going to say it again.

£118,811.
That’s how much it costs PER VETERAN for the Invictus games .
Wouldnt that money be better spent on support for veterans? Housing, therapy, physical therapy, adaptations**, dentists, wheelchairs etc.

I hope it doesn’t go ahead. Utter waste of money.
Dorreen Lawrence will be whistling for any money from Harry. There’s no way on this earth that Meghan will let Harry pay millions out for DLs costs. And,in fairness ,nor should he. She did this of her own accord. And if im honest after Grenfell/the exhumation of Steven’s body im disgusted with her.

Well done to @jeffgoldblum and everyone else who said call me Meg wouldn’t come. Thanks to @bluegreygreen for the new thread.

** I know councils help with adaptations but the wait can be horrendous. My husband became paraplegic 2 years ago. He fell in the large shower we have last November (it has a step). OT told him not to use it until it had been adapted.
We are still waiting. He hasn’t had a shower in 8 months. Hope fully itwill be done before Christmas but we hve been told not to hold our breath. I do my best with bed baths but it’s not the same is it? So I doubt veterans would get any more preferential treatment. That £118, 811 could help somuch. And only 50 of the vets are British so they could give them all the help they needs and still hve millions left over to help further men/women who have served King & Country.
.

I thank you for the acknowledgment, but I’m so very sorry for what you are going through! , no words from me could ever salve the difficulties or pain you and your husband are going through!
I will simply say! I’m thinking of you both, I’m hoping that soon things will get brighter and lastly! ….harry is an enormous twat badger!! ❤️

The BBC are ridiculously sycophantic over Meghan and Harry.

They never allow the general public to post comments on those stories, though, like you can on many other BBC articles.

Funny, that.
