What more summer shenanigans await us from the Montecito duo?

Targeting William isn't new, when the late Queen was alive they targeted Charles and William. It never seems to occur to them that the Heir becomes the monarch at some point.

Has As Ever being nominated for an Emmy been discussed? I'm behind the times today.

Oh yes, very much so, previous posters have had quite a lot to say about it. Mostly disapproving to put it politely!

They’re all over Reddit and Quora anyway for anyone curious, assuming it’s about his army days and how he treated women?

Yes those rumours.

Yes, briefly.

Well H had a sit down with KC after he accused a Judge of misconduct and CG revealed about the drug incident so it seems KC isn't too bothered

Taken from the last thread, but would you really expect him to be bothered, @Starryfifty? The judge will be just one more of thhe "little people", and Harry's issues with drugs go right back to his teenage years, so it's a bit late to start being concerned now - especially when he's 6000 miles away

Pressed "post" too soon - thanks again for the new thread, @BigWillyLittleTodger

Every since the claim of Harry forcing a female to take a pill emerged I've began to wonder is the reason Harry never publicly criticised Andrews behaviour because there's parts of his own that is similar and he doesn't want to risk that coming out?

Yes if rumours (which I won’t repeat here) turn out to be true it explains why he is keeping his head very much down with regards to his Uncle.

Great points. I would never have thought of that. That’s why I love these threads.

Thank you for the new thread, and also thanks to @BreadInCaptivity for their earlier post, which is a much better expressed version of my own take on events.

I’ve dipped in and out of these threads intermittently and under various user names since thread two. Not because I hate H&M but because I find their shenanigans entertaining. Yet in the beginning, I too had high hopes they would be a fun couple in a mostly dull family. As for royalty generally, I’m neither monarchist nor republican but a typical disinterested Brit who only normally pays attention when there is an event that means I get an extra day off.

The invaders excuses and retellings don’t work for me. Fair play to them for trying, but 2/10 for credibility. We’ve seen the receipts.

MyDogClive · 15/07/2026 20:18

Actually on the Emmy nomination. I don’t think many of us are naive enough not to be aware that money makes things happen. But surely, that applies to the winners too? Aren’t the winners most likely to be people who will bring home the bacon for the studios?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 15/07/2026 20:20

I think ignoring is the best.
If there is an interesting point that is different, but it is usually just a dose of scolding

Even worse when they pretend something couldn't possibly be already known about, despite it already having been endlessly discussed, @Recollectionsmayvary

Definitely best ignored

Well I see the new joiners induction thread is now in hiding. Didn’t take long.

Yes, what on earth is that all about, forcing a pill into a young woman's mouth?
I honestly don't get why he would do that and more importantly, how on earth does he get away with it?!

It's pretty shocking but seems up be all glossed over. Joe Marler could have refused to have him on his podcast. I wish people like him would make a stand

I'm so late to the party but I did see that one and wondered WTF and why?

In the meantime I'm shuddering at Harold's ghastly oversharing of his morning routine and wondering in what world bottom action is deemed appropriate public material.

Bang up to date I suspect the Emmy nomination for WLM is a paid for contrivance in much the same vein as Harold's relentlessly bought bling.

It's horrible. Wonder will he trim his pubes for the Emmys ?

bluegreygreen · 15/07/2026 21:04

Re H&M, I think many of us (whatever our background) wished them well at the start, and came more or less gradually to the realisation that they weren't what they purported to be.

Re Harry and the drug thing - I've wondered for a while if one reason the late Queen (and I suppose Charles) was so adamant that half in - half out was absolutely not on the table was the recognition that he really is like his uncle in many ways. They didn't want a repeat scenario in 30 years' time.

He really doesn't have a grasp of the room does he?

Although TBF he's not a royal outlier in that respect...

Was it started by Mumsnet HQ or was it fake?

CathyorClaire · 15/07/2026 21:17

'Prince of England' is so achingly redolent of 'blood princesses'

I'm endlessly intrigued as to why MW has escaped Sussex condemnation when so many others have fallen foul.

Started by MN. But as is so often the case, HQ got it wrong. I often think those that work here don't use it.
