And in regard to the own goal that was the ANL case, ultimately it ended up with lots of rich people looking stupid and over-privileged abefore being landed with an huge legal bill. And Baroness Doreen Lawrence having lots of dirty linen aired in public and her name and good work tarnished.

@Starryfifty, whilst I am sure they will look at the presenting evidence (and evidence is very important in court), he does not seem to do well on the stand! His little outburst is very unlikely to do him any favours. I know they get paid well and it is important that there is proper representation on all sides to ensure a fair trial, but I do sometimes feel for the defence when they have to represent these deluded numpties. In lawyer land it is not really about the actual person and just point scoring and winning a case, but representing someone who refuses to take the advice they pay you to give must be frustrating. In fact I know it is, I have been there when the prosecution and defenceman have been in consultation outside the courts....

He certainly seems to be dreadful on the stand. Blatant lying. Getting emotional, etc. Imagine trying to advise this idiot?

I do feel sorry for Harry's school experience. Going to an academically rigorous school like Eton because it was assumed best to keep him with William while they were still grieving. It's a shame Charles hated Gordonstone so much because it looks like that rugged outdoor type school would have been a better fit for Harry. Peter and Zara seem to have enjoyed their time there.

I always thought that geography was a huge factor. Windsor castle is a short walk from Eton, I imagined them going to granny’s for lunch/tea. Psychologically the closeness it must have helped.

It's certainly not genuine. They are a toxic, vicious pair

I don't think they really have anyone advising them. I doubt they have many staff now and don't listen to the those they do have.

I agree that they don’t have as many staff nowadays but pretty sure they will have Nannies so time to work on their “ business”.

Another clapback via people magazine towards Martha Stewart. How patronising calling her ‘good, old Martha’. Martha is worth a hell of a lot more than they are.

What? Are they denying Meg was blabbering about her visit ? Is Martha lying then ?

HoldMyWine · 07/08/2026 08:49

That what they are saying. They just can’t let anything pass.

@HoldMyWine Do you have a link for that ?

Martha's been to prison - I doubt MM worries her 😊

I think Martha is more popular than MM though.

Omid is back, been so missed! Nothing new here but the MIGS are at fault as usual.

CariadDarling · 07/08/2026 09:41

Martha Stewart is a vile character and I’m not surprised she was at dinner with the gruesome twosome. In fact I think the entire guest list would make very interesting reading. Birds of a feather and all that.

Omid was dumped a long time ago. He fulfilled his use

All the fault of the men in grey - couldn't possibly have been Endgame.

Eh? I don't understand this post.

I admit that I been listening to too many Royal gossip podcasts!

It was mentioned in one of them (I think it may have been Palace Intrigue) that all photos of Meghan had been removed from Highgrove. There was speculation that this was because of the agreement not to share any photos of the UK visit (obviously, no idea how specific the agreement was). Then, Meghan posted photos of the Althorp visit on her Instagram. I then read these 'affair' rumours and well... I just do wonder if something more is afoot and M is feeling very annoyed all round with H and his family. Hence 'act of rebellion.'

Okay, just Googled this and apparently the H& wedding photo was replaced with one of Charles with his sons as part of a rearrangement of things in the house. This happened before the meeting wit H&M and children. So could be something, could be nothing.

ShamedBySiri · 07/08/2026 11:30

I think the photos have been removed from the public facing areas of Highgrove (and reportedly other areas of Royal palaces open to the public).
From memory having visited the gardens there is an entrance area with various photos and paintings of the Royal family adorning tables and the walls around the room and also in the restaurant.
Someone (?a journalist) who made a return visit noted a change in the displays. It may have been projection that the same applies to other public areas.

NormalAuntFanny · 07/08/2026 11:36

Well the Express is also reporting this... HAM 'considering' making an apology!

If you can look past the almost unusable Express website it is quite the shocker

ShamedBySiri · 07/08/2026 11:37

Also I doubt H&M even saw these areas even if they have been there back in the past as there was the embroidery event going on.
Not sure if M has ever visited Highgrove before and obviously it will be a long time since H was last there so I doubt they would have clocked any changes though I suppose they might note an absence among other family photos on display.

A pretty blatant attempt to drum up more sales for Endgame. The book in which Omid predicted the end of the monarchy and which appeared from quotes to be warmed over fiction.

Well that would be a sort of having your cake and eating it apology in my view. If they want to do it , fine , but I hope it gets them no further into any public royal role.

meercat23 · 07/08/2026 12:06

Starryfifty · 07/08/2026 11:59

That sounds like a elaborate version of the 'I'm sorry you ell that way but' type of apology. i.e. sorry you were hurst but we didn't do anything wrong!
