They are keeping the meeting top secret. They haven’t said anything to anyone…..
^^
A spokesperson for the Sussexes declined to comment.”

So secret they haven’t whispered a word to anyone. Said a source. 🙄😂

IT’S NOT A BLOODY SECRET IF EVERYBODY KNOWS!!!!

It's Vanity Fair:

Queen Camilla “Dropped Everything” to Be Part of King Charles and Prince Harry’s Reunion
Friday’s meeting was “a top-secret arrangement,” and Harry and Meghan are “delighted” they were able to pull it off, a source close to the Sussexes tells Vanity Fair.

Thanks - will take a look.

Thats an attempted snub to QC - showing she’s deferential to H&M! I suspect they were raging she was there .

This also goes to support my earlier speculation that KC3 was doing all the dangling all week …. so top secret even H&M didn’t know. Also the very end of the week so they had to sing for their supper. H&M delighted they pulled off the confidential and private meeting ???? I don’t think so - they wanted blue lights, sirens, armed guards, outriders being chased by paps and followed by media helicopter (like OK Simpson) all the way down the M4 to capture them screeching round the lanes of Gloucestershire and swishing in the gates and up the drive of Highgrove - with KC3 in his crown and ermine waiting on the steps to greet them - with full NF crew to capture the happy tearful reunion.

They are not delighted to have pulled off a confidential and private meeting.

They were thwarted at every turn.

They have returned to US with no ‘first look’ content for NF. They must be gutted.

And I also read that Meghan and the children were made to wait while KC saw Harry first, I bet her jaw was clenching and eyes blinking at break neck speed trying to contain her rage at being put in her place.

There is no way that PW didn’t know about the meeting in advance!! That would be a horrendous betrayal.

I do hope that Charles and Camilla met with H first making M wait outside. She would be seething!!

I imagine the Queen had to shelve her plans for a quiet gin and smoke by herself after she and the King returned from their Oxford engagement, in order to be a witness to whatever Harry was asking his father for this time. If she was putting herself out for anyone, it would be her husband.

We don't know this but I would bet my last sossidge that he said to William " look I'm going to do this to shut this fucker up for the time being" .

It’s amazing that W turned out to be such an apparently balanced person when you consider that he was very much a witness to his parents’ turbulent marriage, his dm leaned unhealthily on and then he lost his dm in a tragic accident. H also experienced this but less so because he was younger.

As said earlier I credit the Middletons for this. I read somewhere years ago that when Kate started bringing William home to visit as her boyfriend, Michael Middleton got William to wash his car for him. The benefit of being treated like a normal boyfriend and then family member has been massive.

If Camilla was there she must have shown remarkable restraint considering the nasty things harry wrote about her. I don’t think I would have managed an hour with Harry if I were in her shoes.

I would imagine in many ways it was very easy seeing this fool grovelling to his father for attention.

Have we had any explanation as to why MM didn’t attend the charity events she said she would last week? She made a big announcement of her attendance so the charity and people involved - sick children, maimed military hero’s, Chelsea pensioners etc would have their expectations raised then dashed.

They were all given some bull about her security - is she a greater risk than PH?

Then she sauntered in to Highgrove to meet KC3 and stayed over at Althorp…..so her ‘security’ risk / concerns can be recalibrated and removed if she is meeting someone more important (someone who will give her royal adjacency to line her pockets) than the charity’s and their clients?

They got a better offer. They are those kind of people.

If facts matter then:

  1. prove she paid for the nomination because what the other poster wrote is right, you only pay a fee to submit for a nomination but that doesn't guarantee you are nominated. It is determined by a number of people.

  2. Explain how she will have cheated? That a wild accusation to be making.

  3. provise the proof thay of the millions of people who did watch it were doing so to take the piss, love to see those survey results or whatever data you have to back that up

  4. where is the proof Meghan submitted for a nomiantion? Netflix has a team that submits many of their shows for nominations.

As that other poster said this nomination speaks to the work of the production team too so you're now also dismissive of their hard work too. What did those people ever do to you?

What did those people do to you ? That's an odd line. Are you saying no one can comment on things unless you are directly connected to it ? Or is it just a throwaway line?

Starryfifty · 15/07/2026 10:54

I thought the details of the meeting with KC were not to be leaked but apparently it's been drip fed to people magazine, etc

Worriedmummy1244 · 15/07/2026 10:55

It was cancelled . And shit.
WTF has it done to deserve an Emmy??

As much as HAM have done to deserve their other 'awards', especially the one H received in memory of an American serviceman whose widow/mother even said it was not justified. The Kennedy clan will give any anti-British person an award, probably in memory of Joe Kennedy.

Meghan's MasterChef episode is screening in Australia on July 26. Apparently the contestants are asked to make a dish 'fit for a Duchess'.

Do you apply the same standards to MM? Have you sought proof for her numerous wild allegations across her many interviews, docuseries, podcasts over the last 10 years or does it suit you to let them slide?

Worriedmummy1244 · 15/07/2026 10:55

An Emmy?! How do you get nominated for an Emmy? Self nomination?

its the Daytime Emmy, not the Primerime Emmy’s, and its in a category with a programme produced by Purina (the dog food company), so there wouldn’t have been much competition in the first place.

She could have self nominated, but maybe Netflix put it forward, it’s only about $500 to submit, she didn’t submit for the culinary category or reality tv category so it seems they went for a category where they have a chance of being voted in and potentially a chance to buy their own trophy iff they do win.

Alas, I believe divorce is imminent. More trauma, generational pain 🤔 for H.

HurrahforHollywood · 15/07/2026 08:40

I'm sure M's parents divorce had a big impact. She hardly saw her mother once she left .

Edited

Yet her version of her life includes her saintly mother and totally excludes her father, from whom she was estranged long before she nabbed Harry, once she became a bit famous he was no longer needed to open doors for her.

That's not what I'm saying. Anyone can criticise the programme if they want. My point is why immediately dismiss the nomination by claiming Meghan paid for it or that it would be cheating if it won, without any evidence? Netflix submitted it and the Daytime Emmys selected it.

A lot of people worked hard on that production. Why knock all of those people down simply because you dislike one person? What did they do to deserve having their work dismissed?

Starryfifty · 15/07/2026 11:17

I do feel for the RF as they have years of HAM. Probably just H but then the Hamlets, if they turn out to be images of their parent (shudder). Next summer for example, Camilla 80th birthday. HAM and hamlets making an appearance

I was amused to read some of the HAM supporters' view of the Highgrove meeting.

According to them it was Meghan who refused to allow any photographs to be taken.

Apparently she feared damage to the reputation of her As Ever brand if she were to be pictured alongside the King.

She will give it one last push for the next 22 months to ensure she gets over the 10 year Californian divorce law settlement hurdle which secures her a ‘long marriage’ situation which will financially benefit her in the longer term. Nothings imminent right now - unless PH calls it.
