What more summer shenanigans await us from the Montecito duo?

I thought it wasn’t possible to name change during a thread but clearly there’s a way with the sock puppeting so blatantly happening on this one.

There was a HAM fan (from before they shamed themselves over #WheresKateGate) who openly admitted that she/he was in a group who communicated off-thread about MN threads. The reddish one. So it could be that, as opposed to VPNing and suchlike.

Catching up but - there's a man with a substantial share of a stonking legal bill incoming on his mind if ever I saw one...

His nose and his face has changed shape and volume, even just since the publication of Spare.

Opinion: Thinking a show is bad and shouldn't be nominated. That is totally fine.
The issue: making a comment saying she literally bought the nomination. That is an accusation of bribery.
Both shows paid the exact same entry fee. Yet, when Eugene's show paid it, absolutely no one claimed he bought his nomination. Hence the double standard I see.

Opinion: Meghan and Harry’s recent long list of awards which at best, they could be considered seriously underqualified for, and at worst, resulted from hefty donations or pledges by them to the organisations awarding them, makes it more likely that they have adopted a similar approach to their category nomination at issue here. You call it bribery, most of us now recognise how these types of award work: they are pay for acclaim.

Eugene Levy has no such context to his nomination,

Daytime Emmy Award Nomination (2026)
Humanitarians of the Year (2025)
Living Legends of Aviation (2024):
Pat Tillman Award for Service (2024)
Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Award (2023)
Gracie Award (2023)
Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award (2022)
People’s Choice Award (2022):
NAACP President’s Award (2022)
TIME100 List of Most Influential People (2021)

(Of these, only the Gracie and the People’s Choice awards actually had a competitive and decision-making process, and only the people’s Choice was open-contest)

You can also add to your list Harry's trip to NYC yesterday as apparently Prince Harry was awarded TIME100 Most Influential People in Sports 2026 🙄

Id love to be a fly on the wall for their production meetings, very Alan Partridge I’m sure.

I think that's what really behind his sudden desperate attempt to get back in the RF. I think daddys help is needed with the legal bills 💰

Well when Uncle Elt doesn't appear to be moved, your billionaire bro can't be tapped and you have a £56m fortune to protect in its entirety to hand on to your kids who else are you going to cry at?

I mean if you were absolutely DESPERATE to have a conversation with yourself it would be easy to do. But it would also be a total faff and what normal person has the time or energy!

So the DM article stating :

  • his security was upped and that Harry believes this will continue in the wake of Anne Widdecombe
  • that he is in contact with William
  • that he will get half in half out because he will get to stay on royal accommodation when here
  • That Harry n Meg realise that America isn’t interested in them

This is all clearly made up crap from Team Sussex

I’ve not had time to read the full article as yet but going by the bullet points, I thought he would try and use Anne Widecombe’s murder to his advantage, that’s how his twisted mind works, what he doesn’t realise is he will be at the bottom of RAVEC’s now very long list in the wake of this horrific event.

Didn’t they claim to be “always face timing” HMTLQ when she was on the throne? I didn’t believe that then and I don’t believe they face time KC either otherwise the “reunion” wouldn’t have been such a big deal and witnesses i.e Camilla would not have had to be present.

They have always been offered royal accommodation so no, still being offered it doesn’t mean half in half out, nothing has changed. The extra security? Two bored police officers he called himself, again nothing has changed. As for saying they are in contact with William, this just proves this article is nothing but the usual complete hogwash from the Duke and Duchess of Scamelot.

I’ve never not believed that the King wasn’t in contact with the children
@CariadDarling Too many negatives - do you think the king has been in touch with them?
My father is 5 years older and goes months and months with only text messages when we are abroad (we visit max twice a year). And my DF is (I assume) a lot less busy than the King of GB&NI.
ETA because my dad doesn't like video calls. It isn't a nice way of communicating.

Edited

I can believe Charles has had video calls with the kids. That would be easy to do and it's harder for Harry to ask for cash in the middle of reading The Highway Rat or similar.

I'm more sceptical about them buying a place in Portugal. Doesn't Jack Brooksbank work for the people who own the resort? If so, what's the bet they haven't actually bought property but have been able to get a place at mates' rates to stay for the summer? Or a last minute freebie in an empty unit? That's more what I'd expect.

TheHatTrick · Today 21:29

@PullTheBricksDown The reason I don’t believe they FaceTime is that we never heard it before.

People magazine hasn’t said so. Meghan hasn’t posted photos of the backs of their heads watching KC on the screen. Harry hasn’t done interviews about how he doesn’t know how much longer his father will be able to read, etc.

TheHatTrick · Today 21:31

In fact it was Harry that told us KC doesn’t speak to him “because of the security stuff”

BigWillyLittleTodger · Today 21:33

Agreed, no way have they purchased a holiday home, at best they rent one at mates rates, they haven’t even replaced their 90’s dated kitchen at their McMansion so I doubt they have spent millions on another house, and even if they had, there is no way on earth Meghan would have been able to resist posting back of the head shots of the hamlets or her wafting around on Instagram with scenic views of the Algarve.

Which again, according to Harry and Meghan, is still ongoing. It's all just absolute garbage.

It'll be fascinating to see what Sentebale are sitting on that Harry doesn't even remember.

Recklessismymiddlename · Today 21:52

Sources say he speaks to William? And william replies?
Means either, KC is more unwell than we are being told,
or more likely, Harry has just realised, that shit William is going to be king, at some point so he better get sucking up.
Bit late sunshine.

I doubt it.

I don't think HAM have a direct number for Charles and William - I think they only have secretary/office numbers ... that never calls back

If they really were in Portugal - I bet they were at Eugenie's house. She is due to give birth around now and is probably in the UK. Both of her previous deliveries were at the Portland.

Mylovelygreendress · Today 22:08

I know it is extremely unlikely but don’t you wish the RF would issue a statement addressing all these allegations/ assertions that Harry is making ?
I think it would make interesting reading!

I also doubt it. My interpretation is: now Harry has realised William won't return calls or messages but also won't talk about him, he's moved to the tactic previously used on Charles, of just fabricating things, knowing that William won't speak out publicly to contradict him. The one limitation of the grey rock / never complain, never explain strategy is that it means unscrupulous liars can bring out a stream of low to mid range falsehoods as they know they won't be directly challenged on them.

Theunamedcat · Today 22:21

See William talks around about him he will easily say things like when harry and I were growing up and my brother and I when talking about families etc he has kept the same low key easy going way of speaking but he never speaks about him in the present only in the past that must be so frustrating for harry who wants to constantly drone on about his grievances at the hands of his family harry speaks with such bitterness and William with such ease if they weren't famous brothers I would not guess they were related and raised in the same family

StartupRepair · Today 22:25

If they have realised they aren't popular in the US, what on earth do they think their reception in the UK is going to be?

Yes, it gives the measure of his self-absorption that his response to a woman's murder is 'that'll help my case for more security'. Speaks volumes!
