They Really must be desperate. Do people in the US really know / care about Althorp though?

No Diana grew up at the Park House on the Sandringham Estate - IIRC she was born there

Her father became Earl and they moved to Althorp when she was 14 but she was at boarding school. I think her father married Raine the following year and she was rarely at home after that.

She left school in 1977 after a couple of attempts at O levels at age 16. Then she did a stint in 1978 at the Institut Alpin Videmanette finishing school in Switzerland. Then she moved to London she did various short term jobs - nannying, housekeeping, nursery assistant. In 1979 her father bought her a 3 bed apartment in Kensington and Chelsea as an 18th birthday present.

So the "childhood home" is just another HAM-myth

I wonder what happened to the proceeds of the sale of the flat in London?

I was just having a sliding doors moment thinking about the fun alternative life an 18 year-old girl could have with their own 3 bed flat in Kensington and Chelsea. Nothing would have persuaded me to marry anyone, certainly not the heir to the throne, if I were in that position. 😕

Including the one of the children at Althorp heading towards the grave carrying flowers (she knew full well the internet would identify the location of this and all the other pics in under a day), in amongst the others of happy holiday fun - crass in and of itself, crass as just another pitstop on their Europe trip, just crass crass crass. All of it. What is the point of it all? To show what she didn’t post, the Highgrove ones? She’s a ridiculous woman. Totally unserious. Her level truly is influencer, D-list, desperado. She would know tact or taste or discernment or good judgement if they announced themselves to her in flashing neon light.

I was just about to post the same thing. The woman is so utterly lacking in discernment or class.

One word @CormorantWings! Vulgar!!!

It's classless, vulgar but not unexpected. H is worse IMO. Meg is very obviously a two bit grifter. What's his excuse?

None! That I can see, he is vast becoming like his uncle and Meghan is on par with Fergie! 🤷‍♀️

Supermarket flowers wrapped in cellophane outer packaging. I hope H&M took their cellophane wrappings away with them at least and recycled it.

I can’t imagine that Althorp’s Estate Conservation Manager was thrilled. All the wildlife there … it’s so vulnerable right now. Young deer, swans, birds of prey, freshwater fish. <sigh>

Fromhere1 · 24/07/2026 00:15

Did they bring their dog to Portugal?!

Althorp was not Diana's childhood home. And I don't think her years there were happy ones? As she really dislikes her stepmother?

I do think it's crass to show photos of the kids with flowers ... presumably going to the grave. It's very easy to idolise the dead...not so easy to make amends with the living.

I wonder is it deliberate on Ms part to not show her face in these photos? A little bit of an F. you to everyone?

As we surmised earlier on these threads, Harry’s in the RAVEC queue (that I imagine is carefully, analytically and professionally triaged) behind politicians and others who are actually at some risk. And who live in, work in and have a function in the UK.

Prince Harry’s security review delayed as nine former PMs need protection

The Duke of Sussex was promised a risk assessment last year, but was still waiting in June as officials struggled to cope with record demand

From the People article:
Charles has said it brings him comfort to know that Prince William and Prince Harry are able to visit their mother’s burial place privately.

Until Meghan shows up with her iPhone.

WhyamIinahandcartandwherearewegoing · 24/07/2026 06:08

Couldn’t help herself with a hint to the grave pics which will undoubtedly be coming at some point….

These are so crass.

scaredysquiggle · 24/07/2026 06:26

Grim. I would be loading any article showing the pics or looking on Instagram. I won’t give it any clicks or oxygen. It only adds to the misconception anyone is that interested.

Why are DM doing this after the whole ANL debacle? Of course Meg must welcome comments about her arse in a black swimsuit 🤔 none of her with the kids

It's clever really - the DM make money out of these photos, and HAM don't.

And this is the age old problem, they can't make money

Morelovelyandtemperate · 24/07/2026 06:49

It's strange that M appears to be wearing shoes on the beach, whilst in a swimming cossie, but rarely wears them at home. Also interesting that SHE wears a wide-brimmed hat, leaving the ginger, fair-skinned girl without one. In Portugal, in July 😳

CormorantWings · 24/07/2026 07:06

I wonder if Eugenie and Jack were there at the same time. Who took the pic of Meghan and Harry for example? If so, Eugenie and Harry are still thick as thieves.

Unless Marcus was there.. again.

Why is Archie barefoot in a formal setting. She's nuts.

I was thinking about the staff having to clean up the footprints inside the house! I bet they're very inconsiderate guests. Plastic wrapped flowers for a start .

Lyrics to the abba song spring to mind:
in my dreams I have a plan
if I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn’t have to work at all, I’d fool around and have a ball
money money money
