Well she would have found it hard. She couldn't be bothered to find out about the family she was marrying into and the rules and protocol they live by so why would she have bothered to learn anything about the history and culture of the UK

Indeed. She never learned the National Anthem, how hard was that?

Sentabale will be interesting. I really do hope Dr Sophie is not paid off

Indeed.

Interestingly, he doesn't appear to be represented.

H&M claimed that VB leaked stories about M.

VB has no reason to leak stories - she's more famous (& richer) than H&M, and has more A list friends than M.

It was just another example of M blaming others for her own leaks.

Following on from Brooklyns revelations, I’m completely sure VB leaked stories.

VB and MM are birds of a feather.

This is really interesting that he doesn't have a lawyer for the Sentebale case

Is he?
Expecting it to go away?
Struggling to find lawyers because of previous unpaid fees?

He's pretty confident she will accept a huge payoff

"with people you don't even know and won't even meet"

Also "your jus jellas he married megan" When the bots dont even spell her name correctly, it makes me laugh more than the thought that anyone would envy her marrying that fuckwit.

Not sure why they had to announce or give a statement they were returning to the UK or why they have a press office or pr.

They could quite easily have sorted schools, arranged flights and rented a house out without splahing their every move over the media, and setting up a press whats app group:)

Its all for maximum publicity. I dont understand why they dont guard their privacy. They are using the presz as a personal facebook diary, and sure most of us know a tedious couple posting their everymove, food pics and how they feel. And uplifting slogans to make you puke:) .

Before the internet, this would have died a death unless it was a slow news week. The press had to be so much more ruthless with content. Now its a constant stream.of content demand. A crazy solution might be to stop feeding content:)

As long as rhey are completely barred for life from receiving public money, being working royals, from benefitting from theur royal status ie cheap rent in royal accomdation, and these rules apply to their dc and gdc- then they can just get on with their lives.

@Beesandhoney123 I was just catching up on the thread and it occurred to me that apart from the RF being told they were coming back they could have just come back and let months go by before people knew they were here.

Recklessismymiddlename · 25/08/2026 06:01

I think it was pure distraction from the costs ruling. Otherwise why then? And all those sudden influx of new posters, straight to the RF board?

Does it mean that he will stand up and represent himself? If so I can’t imagine what Dr Sophie is going to face once he’s on his feet. It’s like a horror story.

I’m pretty certain that the ‘Litigation in Person’ categorisation just means that the court hasn’t yet been told the names of H and Mark Dyer’s lawyers, because they haven’t responded yet to the claim being filed. It’ll need to be soon though.

I assume H and MD think Sophie will settle ? What do our posters with legal knowledge think ?

Odd little piece from Nadine Dorries in the MailOnline if anyone’s interested.

I don't have much time for Nadine but I think she has nailed how an affluent rural community will feel about having the Sussexes in their midst. I grew up in such an area, we weren't affluent, you pick up the social niceties from observation. I hope that the Sussexes can.

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

Edited

Yes in the CofE.

My "case" was decided by the bishop of the diocese.

They must have a legal team behind the scenes working to negotiate an out of court settlement though? I feel sure they will settle which is a great shame as we will all be deprived of the gaity of another court case to discuss and Dr Sophie revealing all those receipts.

But maybe he’s still hunting around for another lawyer to take the case as presumably the bouffant one will be scratched off the list. And simultaneously hunting down the back of the sofa for the money to pay them.

Indeed. She never learned the National Anthem, how hard was that?

And she forgot French despite studying it for ten years, as she told Craig Ferguson and that she speaks Spanish but they speak a completely different Spanish in Argentina.

Has that clip ever been shown on TV in the UK, it really is extraordinary.

Very good points.
I miss the days of getting a newspaper in the morning and that was it until the evening news on TV. There would have been so much less hysteria about the spare back then.

I'm more inclined to feel Brooklyn is the spit of Harry frankly.

Did I read that Geri’s mansion is for sale? Perhaps the grifters are interested in buying?

Apparently, but the bigger mansion they hoped to buy fell through, so not sure if it's still on the market.
