@Choux just because you are asked to sign an NDA doesn’t mean to say you have to. I wouldn’t sign one if I was asked. They can pressure me all they like. The answer will still be no. I would want a substantial amount of money to sign. At least six figures.

I’ve never heard of the Mail writer involved - ‘Vivek Chaudhary, Senior Reporter’.

Not one of the usual SussexWhatsApp group.

OOOH. This wasn’t supposed to leak out. What an I missing? Charles being up to his neck in it??

Well if the Sussexes say the lunch didn’t happen and they want to take a stand against inaccurate reporting by the media they could sue the paper which published it which was the Daily Mail. Oh wait…. 😜

Depends which newspaper asks which questions!

I really can't see it. All reports regarding PW is that he is done and there will never be a reconciliation

How on earth could William ever trust him again?.

He won't. I would imagine Willie quite ruthless. He has no use for H and his brood. I would put money on it that he'll strip them of titles too

NormalAuntFanny · 24/08/2026 20:58

Good to see we are back scraping the barrel less than a week into the great return and HAMs PR floor is ginger spice and her husband who I have only heard of in conjunction with some kind of sexual harassment case.

Is this the level they are at now, or worse, is ginger denying them!

Strange days indeed.

Why would the Geri camp leak this? It has to be HAM. What an absolute farce

Cismyfatarse · 24/08/2026 21:14

Public say Prince Harry and Meghan should pay for their own security. Some of this is a repeat of one I posted earlier.

LaMarschallin · 24/08/2026 21:30

They're - or at least, Meghan is - piling up the stories of bad behaviour by the British Press which will give them Meghan an excuse to use for returning to the US.
We've already had the "backlash" that stopped M starring in a "well known, successful" (if you say so) Netflix series.
There was no backlash - nobody cared and/or believed it and saw it as the smokescreen around their return that it was. That's not a "backlash" that's just people laughing.
Now the "terrible" press is suggesting they've had contact with the Horners - such lies! Such intrusion!
And that's just a couple of days after the announcement 🙄

remarriage was first allowed in July 2002.

It was allowed before then as I remarried in 1995.

In the church of England? The General Synod didn't vote on it until 2002

Princess Anne had to remarry in the Church of Scotland in 1992 because the church of England didn't allow remarriage

The Methodist church used to be quite flexible though

I get the impression that William was pretty traumatised by H’s treachery and particularly the cruelty towards Catherine, who’d once been like a big sister to H. The way the HAMs allowed the horrible‘Where’s Kate?’ Social media bullying, which caused her to have to make a public announcement about her cancer, was probably the nail in the coffin of any future relationship.

I’m always baffled by pps on here who disingenuously ask what on earth the HAMs have done to provoke disapproval!

Mylovelygreendress · 24/08/2026 21:37

“I’m always baffled by pps on here who disingenuously ask what on earth the HAMs have done to provoke disapproval!”

Me too @CoffeeCantata . Similarly the ones who insist they were hounded out rather than the truth , they flounced off because they didn’t get their own way .

And William has stated he and his in laws, etc are very careful in ensuring C avoids stress (as much as she can). Would not surprise me if he lays a lot of blame on H and his rotten wife on C's illness

notimagain · 24/08/2026 21:40

The other thing that's going on here is that as a result of the barrage of announcements and often reversals over what is often relative trivia discussion of Harry's part in the ANL fiasco and the issue of costs has pretty much disappeared.

There's also been very relatively little discussion today of him stepping down from African Parks and the background to that.

Some of the press are almost being forced to choose to persue clicks rather than keep digging into perhaps less attractive but maybe more important stories about H and maybe to.some extent M

Now who would engineer that?

The SM bullying by the Sussex Squad. Cheerleaded by that Bouzey guy who HAM had as a talking head on their documentary, and aided and abetted by various A-listers signed to the same LA agency as Markle.

It didn't just target Catherine as being a racist - KKKate - but also had W accused of beating up his wife, cheating on her with Rose Hanbury, having her committed to prevent her from leaving and taking the kids.

ABitFab · 24/08/2026 21:42

The Geri news was on Aussie news just now.
I hate just unfollowed her.

Bri5 · 24/08/2026 21:47

HoldMyWine · 24/08/2026 18:38

That’s more likely.

I was thinking the opposite. The Horners leaked the story but HAM probably had promised not to discuss the lunch summit or move until it was safe and here they are chatting it up immediately after so they had to furiously slap it down as entirely fake. Which it could also be, we really don’t know.

I remember Victoria Beckham leaked stories about being friends and advising Meghan about the UK which HAM chastised her for causing David to get upset with Harry or something.

Yes, and that disgusting raft of allegations is still promoted by the Sussex Squad today. As well as the affair, which was the result of a ‘joke’ by that little goblin Giles Coren, the SS like to allege that William is having a gay relationship with Rose’s husband.

I don’t hold out much hope for them making lots of friends if they’re going to be so touchy and precious about people mentioning them.

Who’d want a relationship with people who insisted that all interaction was kept top secret?

A source close to the Horners said: [...] Christian is a bit more circumspect - less overawed.

Overawed 😅😂😆😅

Sussex leak? Surely no one else would use the word overawed in relation to HAM?

ABitFab · 24/08/2026 22:00

Have not hate 🤣

basketolympia · 24/08/2026 22:10

Maybe HAM don’t want the King to know that this move was being planned before he saw them in July.
