Re the Scottish trip , how come other members of the RF, including the Wales family, can go on holiday and we rarely know about it or see photos yet every “ secret” trip by H and M is somehow leaked to the press ?

They really are the Yorks V2, aren’t they? Always scrounging off some billionaire or other.

Their leaks and subsequent denials are so unbelieveable,,I don’t know why they even bother to do the faux indignation.

A spokesman for the Duke and Duchess said: 'This is not something we would comment on.' 😂😂😂😂.

But we really, really, really, REALLY think you should know where we were and that we were hosted by another random billionaire.

Of course Meghan can’t help herself with the little nuggets of clues and cryptic messages, sitting on her hands waiting for someone to pick it up. She just wishes she could do large scale photo spreads in some fashion magazine of her visits to these estates.

Ah so they were in Scotland, bumming a freebie off yet another billionaire pal. AMW has taught them
well.

I’m afraid that while I don’t care and don’t comment on the looks of other women, I’m afraid to say , no , I don’t agree, she looks fine , attractive I guess, but average she’s no raving beauty as far as I’m concerned, in Hollywood there are hundreds of starlets who may fit that bill .

I agree, Jeff. Again, not bothered about picking apart her looks other than the sheer vanity of (imho) unnecessary and costly tweakments, but Meghan was never more than cable tv pretty. She didn’t stand out in Suits amongst the many other pretty women.

I think her makeup can be very good (but also very bad) and I‘ve always said she’s photogenic, which is a huge asset.

As I said, it’s not important what she looks like and never was, except when she was spending tax payer’s money on herself.

What's in it for this billionaire? I can sort of understand years ago giving them freebies, glamour of royalty and all that but these days it's well known that other rich people(Tyler Perry Elton John) have ditched them for being ungrateful freeloaders. There is no glamour attached to them these days.

That looks like a nose job from those photos?

I think MM is very attractive and there are many pictures of her looking radiant - I never understood why she didn’t just come out with a skin care / makeup range from the start - that’s what authentically stands out for me as about the only thing that she gets right. But now her ‘inner beauty’ shines thru so that ship has sadly sailed for her.

What happened to poor old Daniel? Maybe he’s writing his memoir…..

I thought she fell out with Daniel although the reason escapes me at the moment ( need a cup of tea).

I don’t think Meghan’s skin is good enough for a skin care line, however I do agree she could have done well with a make up line. She could have used her calligraphy on the packaging - there might even have been room for a tiny coronet.

The trouble is, she plays to her fantasies, not her strengths; she isn’t good enough at the things she wants to be known for, and that makes her look inauthentic.

It would definitely have been a better choice than the silly dated 'lifestyle' thing, but I don't think it would have been a success either. It would have run into many of the same problems as 'As Ever'. Poor promotion, inability to listen to experts, fuzzy brand image, and maybe most of all, lack of a real target demographic. Not to mention the competition in the 'celebrity beauty' business is massive, and she'd have to really stand out to be a success.

Was going to say the same. I instantly thought of Andrew and his grasping missus. Thankfully Harry has no official position to exploit.

Just listened to this discussion between Kinsey Schofield and Jonathan Goldberg KC regarding the Sentabale/Sophie Chandauka case. Very interesting.
Highlights - JG has a hunch that the source of the funding for the case (remember SC put out a statement that Sentabale wasn't paying the costs) is a newspaper with a grudge!!! 👀
He talked about disclosure which can be demanded, with the prospect of incredibly juicy emails/texts etc, but then knocked it back with the possibility that Harry will just delete all the texts.

I sincerely hope SC doesn't settle (and if the source of the funding is as JG suspects they probably won't) but there will be huge pressure to settle and to be honest I don't feel overly optimistic about getting to see all the juicy details which SC surely has in her back pocket discussed in court.

He also mentioned that Judge Nicklin was the judge in the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard case when it was heard in the UK which I didn't know, not sure if that has been picked up on.

Andrew Nicol was the judge in the Depp/Heard case not Matthew Nicklin

Yup! This, to me, is solid proof they are trying to wangle their way back into the UK and look royal. The amount of leaking and planting they have been doing recently is exhausting.

I don't think there's ever been any question of them getting 'back in' but this sort of crap will make it even harder for them.

It again, also proves that they can travel around the whole country, not just England but Scotland too, in complete privacy. Unless they are the ones 'leaking'. And of course their entire trip was perfectly safe with no need for enhanced security.

So I'm not sure any of these 'leaks' amount to a PR 'win' for them at all.

She is nothing but predictable and the way she draws attention to the workings of her thought process is unfortunate.
