Speaking of Meghan, not a word from her these past few days?

Which I think is really mean. If my DH was getting a hammering in the press, I would want to be around to support him. Just going quietly along to events and standing in the background, or being wherever he was staying so when he came back I could make him a cup of tea and say, ‘Oh well. Never mind. Look, at least we’re together. Chin up, chum, this will pass.’ Or, if I had delusions of grandeur like Milady, I might put out a statement, ‘Whilst respecting the decision of the court, I fully support my husband’s noble motives in attempting to bring this action….’ Blah, blah, blah. Instead - nothing. Crickets, as the young folk say.

She's not capable of staying quietly in the background or waiting around to make him a cup of tea. She always always has to be the centre of attention.

While Meghan will not take part in Friday’s public engagement, it remains unclear whether she and the children could still travel to the U.K. privately before Harry’s trip concludes.

Oh FFS enough with this shyte!!!

We know they're not coming. She never intended to come. The game playing is utterly pathetic now.

Harry will be about to step on his return flight in the Windsor suite at Heathrow and Meghan will issue another 'will they or won't they?' 'leak' to People magazine.

Tonight the BBC news coverage was very flattering. Talking about Harry doing what he does best, how comfortable he is, etc. Nothing about how he's exploiting sick kids for his own image/profile. It's going to take forever for some sections of the media to stop fawning.

Yet they rarely or never cover other royal engagements, but with Harry it’s headline news and fawning coverage, never mind the lives he’s tried to ruin these past few years with this court case, I watched interviews with Katie Nichol and Charlotte Griffiths, the strain they have been under these past few years has been immense yet the BBC doff their caps to this nasty bully, pathetic.

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.

She’s seen the lack of crowds, the disaster of the court trial/fallout from that and she knows she would get booed.

That or she's so furious with Harry for wasting their millions on a court case he'd been warned he couldn't win that even she can't fake the adoring wife act right now.

FenellaFeldman · Yesterday 20:18

@DaisyDooleythat is actually shocking.
What a waste of money and resources.
I'm sorry about your husband. What a horrible thing, and how frustrating for you both 💐

And VERY patronizing considering DL is a baroness in the House of Lords.

A bit like when he said that he was over here one time to protect TLQE2.

They want the next big exclusive interview again. Whatever else we think of Harry, he is newsworthy and the public will watch and talk about him. These threads prove there is interest.

Colour me shocked! 😱

Edited to add: When the going gets tough….Meghan is nowhere to be seen so just a single slice of HaM on Friday, not the whole packet.

BasiliskStare · Yesterday 20:23

If M doesn't turn up to the IG events - that is all to the good in my view. HAM have been criticised for it being the H&M show. I do think the IG finances need a proper forensic research and a real think about what they are trying to achieve.

Re will M come to the UK - TBF , I have been a supporter of the idea that H&M and their children could easily whizz in and out under the radar , meet Grandpa and no-one would know. Which means we wouldn't know. If H&M could keep their traps shut they could have done this. If M is making it public she is done with the RF and won't be bringing her children to the UK , she's encouraging speculation. Now she may have whizzed in and out and we wouldn't know but why encourage speculation about the BRF causing drama ? & whilst she loves the titles etc what on earth do they mean if she is estranged from the RF. It's a bit like winning the Mrs Joyful prize for Rafia work when you were at St Custard's and still boasting about it nearly a decade on.

Does H not realise tomorrow is Friday. Perhaps he needs to be reminded

Anyone know in what context Harry described William as a champ today? Tom Sykes has just done a Substack column on it but it's for paid subscribers only.

Maybe it was a spelling mistake and he meant to say chump in his oh so charming way!

Rhaidimiddim · Yesterday 20:24

Butteredtoast55 · Yesterday 18:43

I think it's a great shame if it's completely cancelled. What's more, dear old H will turn it around and blame the negative press he received from the UK media in the last few weeks, and the outrageous ANL outcome on detracting from his attempts to promote Invictus. So there'll be another whole load of 'It wasn't me!' coming out way.

He has fewer and fewer press contacts who will put his point of view, after making fools of his WhatsApp press group. And the mega PR drive surrounding this visit now has blackmail-grandad undertones, which the public doesn,'t like. Then the ANL case where the judge just stopped short of calling him a liar, and H' s splenetic response.

He is probably less liked at the moment, and less trusted, than the least popular politician.

So he'll be bleating into a void

AtIusvue · Yesterday 20:26

Unless I see pics….dont believe she’s coming.

ShamedBySiri · Yesterday 20:28

I think Meghan's at home, on a dating app for ageing billionaires, trying to set up her next move. Harry could return home to find the locks changed. 😂

DaisyDooley · Yesterday 20:09

She'd only get booed if anyone bothered to turn up, though. I'm pretty sure Meghan would be more worried about no-one turning up than being booed.

Actually I could imagine HaM paying someone to turn up and boo them 😂- think of all the victim points for her!

AtIusvue · Yesterday 20:30

They are just putting out these stories that she’s coming….to distract from the court case, upcoming financial hit, that they leaked the location of the palace aide meeting Liam and Meredith and pill incident.

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · Yesterday 20:32

Crikey. Maybe she read my post! <Shouts> And don’t forget your iron! And your own lipgloss - we’re not sharing!

Edited to add advice about lipgloss.

Ffs. Wasn't it just yesterday that she was claiming to be so insulted by the RF that she would never set foot again in the UK?

I wish they'd both just fuck off, tbh

I cross posted with you, apologies.

There will be no pictures, at least not of the children, as, once pics are out there, there will be no exclusive money shot of their faces. Unless she has done a deal with Hello and there will be photos at Diana’s grave.

Charles Spencer won’t aloo that though!
