The Montecito diaries continue……..will it be Balmoral or bust?

His name is Prince Archie. Posting that again to be a twat! (I did actually know, just had a brain fart when posting last night.)

I wouldn’t call it an olive branch, I’d call it an attempt at arse licking. I can’t see Mike giving him the time of day.

I wonder if it is, in fact, to support H&M, to highlight how they have been required to remain private about their visit with Charles & Camilla, not allowed to issue photos etc. . Pointing out again how they are ‘silenced’.

His name is Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. His title is Prince. There’s a difference between the two. For further clarification his birth certificate is available online for all to see.

We all know his full name, but don’t need to post it every bloody time. Your posts are both tedious and patronising. And pointless.

There will have been other passengers but so what? I doubt anyone who can afford to travel LA to London 1st class is overly phased by celebrities, certainly not by the family of the 5th in line.

And yes, theoretically they could have been seen from the windows, but it's not like people were peering out on the off chance of a glimpse of this lot, while unloading their bags and squeezing past the other passengers.

LA to London is one of the most celebrity heavy routes in the world. They're well used to dealing with people way more famous and important than Harry and his family.

On the contrary it’s very obvious that not everyone knew his name but they still felt able to correct people otherwise.

Yep..

Used to do LHR-LAX a lot at one point in my liefe.and my record was three Oscar winners (2 actors, 1 director) in First at the same time...

..and the important point is they all managed do without special services/blacked out cars at both ends.

Without wishing to play a version of "you'll never guess who I had in my cab last week" I saw a few celebs (some very high profile and newsworthy) on board...they'd get on last, plonk thrmselves in F, get off first and dissappear without a trace...most passengers, certainly in the rear cabin would never see them.

The only celebs (and it wasn't many) I ever saw papped were caught in the terminal and it did usually look like a prearranged job...i.e. the leak about travel plans had probably come from their publicist.

👏

Sigh! I was making the point to a previous poster - not you my darling - that the child is not just called "Archie" by commoners, such as that previous poster. She was correcting another poster for using a nickname and I was trying to point out that she was also being too informal. I hope this explanation is now sufficient. I am a British citizen with an interest in our monarchy, btw, I do not need any more clarification. HTH. I will now flounce from this thread for more coffee!!

Mike Tindall ? Mike as in “ Harry’s a bellend” Tindall ?
Mike who is good friends with William and is regularly seen in full uncle mode with the Wales children ?
No chance of an olive branch unless it’s to stick it somewhere .

What a bizarre article, very HAM over-inflated idea of their own importance sway.

”The king and queen wanted personal time with their grandchildren, and they wanted it to be lighthearted and positive,”

I can’t imagine for one second that Camilla remotely thinks of them as her grandchildren, or is desperate to see them - she has perfectly lovely grandchildren of her own.🙄

I can't believe she's still trying to pretend "They didn’t know, obviously, anything that I was going to ask them" ... has she no integrity at all?

Unless William has agreed to this, which I cannot see happening…,

I call BULLSHIT that they didn't know what she was going to ask in advance. Do they all think we're stupid? Obvs they do!

Is PH still employed by Better Up?

I haven’t seen anything in the press about his role there for years but he’s still on the website.

Surely his behaviour and public persona can’t be doing them any favours as an advert for their services can it?

Yes, I actually find it vaguely offensive that lies like that can be told to the public and they're expect to be believed! Such an insult to our intelligence, especially as Ham are already proven liars!

I wonder if she wants a better relationship with the Royal Family?

Its like manifesting your reality you first start by convincing the people in it my ex did it (he is a junkie and he had a wife who publicly supported his narrative) basically he told everyone i was bringing our daughter to his house dropping her off to spend time with him and his wife and collecting her later sounds true right? But I didn't drive lived nowhere near him and his house was ankle deep in trash and needles instead of everyone thinking he was a great dad everyone thought I was a lousy mom one of his friends decided I clearly hadn't seen inside the house and spoke to me to tell me they would be calling social services if I continued I was stunned he hadn't seen her for YEARS I didn't know where he lived i certainly was doing any of what he said but without a counter narrative people believed HIM and I nearly had social services involved and how could I prove a negative?

I think this is why William and catherine were so visibly together during Harry's last trip with them being seen publicly together elsewhere no-one could say secret meeting attended by all

Re Mike Tindall.
Mikes MIL is Princess Anne.
I dont think anybody who saw it will forget the journey Princess Anne took with her mother. From the moment her mother died she was Anne the daughter. She never left her body until she became The Princess Royal and handed her Monarch over to the people in London.
The devotion and love she displayed to her mother and her Monarch will never fail to move me. We saw a side of her we had never seen before & never will again. Mother & daughter -the bond was so so much stronger than we thought.

Mike and Zara seem very happy together. Mike -that wonderful plain speaking Yorkshire man -will get away with a lot with Anne. I think their relationship will be something they both enjoy & appreciate.
So we know Anne loved her parents deeply. She will have seen close up the effect Harry & Meghans behaviour had on her dying father -and ultimately her dying mother. Causing pain to two dying people who have given so much to their country must have been difficult to see.

Mike respected HM greatly. I expect Philip liked him.
I don’t suppose Mike has any interest whatsoever in being an olive branch or bringing Harry back to the fold. Why would he? By his own admission Harry is a knob. Harry and his children haven’t left a big hole. His & Meghans ‘work’ has not been missed.

Mike Tindall is well liked and nobody’s fool.
His loyalty is with the Wales family -and let’s not forget Zara’s real and visual bond with the King.
If Mike does a podcast with Harry I will eat a Wenslydale cheese hat and I’ll up the ante & decorate it with Peters Yard crackers & my homemade greengage jelly.

Winfrey noted that the interview took “three and a half hours,” which was later cut down to two hours when it aired on CBS on March 7, 2021
So everything that's in it is very deliberately there, including any allegations, and any false UK tabloid headlines (that meant the unedited programme couldn't be shown in the UK)

Another very valid point, @bluegreygreen, and frankly it makes Oprah look even worse

I could just about buy the suggestion that she's using some narrative about Meghan being "silenced" once again by the RF, but what exactly would be the point? Having made an utter fool of herself last time, to the point of hiding the interview, where's the value in dragging it all up again?

There must be a reason, but it's probably one which will only emerge with time

This has already been covered!
you are obviously jumping in and not reading to find something to complain about!
so to be clear….ham ….harry and Meghan…..hamlets……harry and Meghans little ones!!!
childish to not understand shortening for quickness! 🙄

Was she invited to KC3 / Trump dinner in US earlier this year?

I would love her to gather up the 1.5hrs of footage from the cutting room floor. That would be fascinating. Or even to see it all played out uncut.

Ah, the Stella Creasy gambit. Controversial.
