Hello 👋 everyone

Thanks Big Willy.
@BigWillyLittleTodger your name never ever fails to raise a small smile.

None of us “know” anything, we are all just musing and drawing our own conclusions from what we see and interpret, I don’t think we need evidence for that

Taken from the last thread, but just wanted to say well put, @BigWillyLittleTodger (and can I add "we all sometimes wonder ..." to that?)

Another thing I wonder about is Harry's claim in Spare that he and William each pleaded with their dad not to marry Camilla, and - if it's true - what effect that may have had on their relationships

On Mumsnet it's a given that those creating a blended family will be told to put the kids' wishes first, and that's usually when it concerns divorce rather than a parent dying, so going back to "Will Charles allow Harry to return", it seems to me at least possible that the only wishes which will count there are his own

Well, I'm just "musing"; I think the claim that the monarch doesn't support or collaborate with his son and heir is absolute nonsense.

Ffs, you turn your back for one hour and there's a new thread 🤣🤣

Starryfifty · Yesterday 14:50

A poster asked if H wants Meg back in the RF as an emotionally support animal 🤣 he won't return without her unfortunately.

Thanks for the new thread, can’t believe we still have stuff to talk about!

I think there comes a point when the 'children ' are adults and living their own lives that the parent can go on and live their own life as well.

If that Heatworld article is sanctioned by HAM, I can't see what it will gain them. Either it is true that they're on their way back in to.the RF after the meeting with KC3. In which case it seriously jeopardises that outcome - no-one can read it (looking at you, Charles) and think that this kind of attitude and PR output is just what the RF is looking for.

Or it is a lie in the form of Markle manifestation. In which case, KC3 will have to think hard about whether his 45-mins-per-visit grey-rocking is the right strategy still.

It reads to me, PR amateur that I am, like a hand grenade to any hopes of a Sussex return to the RF or to the small-caps family royal.

Oh, give me spanoptika!

I don't believe for a single second either William or Harry asked Charles not to marry Camilla. I think Harry made it up.
They've always seemed at ease with each other and I'm sure they get on very fine. Camilla looks like fun.
Harry doesn't look like he's had much fun for a long time.

Baital · Yesterday 15:20

They will manifest with or without the grey rock meetings. The grey rock meetings prevent attacks on Charles for being a callous parent.

I agree.

Collaboration is a requirement for the smooth-running of that part of the constitution, to ensure continuity.

Collaboration, of course, doesn't mean no disagreement.

I agree. Perhaps they disagree on certain issues, that's plausible. The claim that they just don't get on at all is certainly a wild..."musing".

I don’t think much would come out of any bullying allegation pre-PH. She was all sweetness and light on the set of suits apparently, even leading on prayer meetings before filming in the morning.

Funnily enough all that changed when she snared PH, wonder why???

She was clearly hoping that Suits would lead to bigger and better things so - for once- behaved .

BillyBites · Yesterday 15:58

I’m still blown away by the arrogance and hypocrisy of Harry saying (re: begging his father not to marry Camilla) that, “We didn’t think it was necessary.”
And yet he threw an absolute fit when several people advised caution for him marrying Meghan.
And the difference is…. ???

Good point! But we know what a hypocrite he is.

I can imagine how nauseatingly fake and sanctimonious that was.

Thanks for the new thread. I’ve missed the opportunity for Musings may vary as a username, but hold to the sentiment.
