I can’t help but wonder if Eugenie has stolen Meghan’s thunder with this gorgeous photo of her newborn daughter. It seems unlikely to be a coincidence, she was born on Monday, yet they chose to wait until today to share the image but still no name.

I do wonder whether this was a little bit of revenge for Meghan announcing her pregnancy at Eugenie’s wedding? 🤔

The trousers are awful and she looks half cut

The high heeled strappy sandals don’t match the rest of the outfit either. It’s all just one big mistake.

That black swimsuit is getting a lot of air time 🙄

I’ve seen better legs hanging out of a nest.

Ah. The Lady of the Lake gambit.

King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
Dennis: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Arthur: Be quiet!
Dennis: You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just ’cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
Arthur: Shut up!
Dennis: I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!
Arthur: [grabs Dennis] Shut up! Will you shut up?!
Dennis: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Arthur: [shakes Dennis] Shut up!
Dennis: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I’m being repressed!

Happy days Grin

brilliant!

Couldn't russle up a few friends, neighbours or staff to look as though someone likes her enough to celebrate with her. Just the photographer. No h, kids or doria, she can't bear to share the spotlight or literally no one cares.
Sad lonely photo.

Yep. In her defunct NF show she was supposedly all about being a 'hostess' and 'cooking for friends' but she's alone in almost all her social media posts. Even in the holiday snaps she wasn't larking about in the pool with Harry and the kids, but standing away on her own. And she's never sharing her flower sprinkles or 'spread' in her As Ever videos either. Always on her own. Though having seen the food, maybe that's just as well.

I've said this before but I find the repeated redesigning of her engagement ring classless. And how telling that each time it's been altered it's still not right and she keeps fiddling with it again.

I'm also very, very bored with their black and white photography.

Meghan is 45 — and it’s a big disappointment…

The article is not as funny as some by Hilary Rose on The Times, but nicely ascerbic.

HoldMyWine · 04/08/2026 20:09

I think they are just lifting their stories from us on here now.

We should invent something completely bizarre and see if it ends up in the press 😁

HoldMyWine · 04/08/2026 20:12

Indeed!

I would go further. I'm very very bored with them full stop.

I believe the quote from Horrid Henry when he met MM was allegedly “ She’ll let you do anything” How romantic!

😂 😆 I had to re read this several times before understanding.

Horrid Henry and Moody Margaret are characters that inhabit my life, I was thinking wtf.

Starryfifty · 04/08/2026 22:19

I do think it's very odd no H and hamlets are included in her birthday tribute to herself. It's usually how adored she is

Theunamedcat · 04/08/2026 22:31

Its not really making a splash on tiktok either there is the usual discussion over her alleged age change a few half hearted swipes but thats it

Theunamedcat · 04/08/2026 22:33

Mylovelygreendress · 04/08/2026 18:11

I am probably reading too much into the photos but there were a lot of comments about her not joining A and L in the pool or sea on holiday and wondering if she could swim so this is her response .

Sinking not swimming?

Beesandhoney123 · 04/08/2026 22:40

Its probably AI, the jumping in pic. The weirdest one is faffing about in the pond with the ballons. Is it really her? To prove she did get in and didnt melt?

SheinSussex · 04/08/2026 22:45

Is the Diana photo from her last summer?

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 04/08/2026 22:52

What a weirdo.

BigAnne · 04/08/2026 22:57

Why does she keep embarrassing herself. Its excruciating to watch. She'll never be able to compete with Diana or Catherine. You'd think her mother would have a word.
