I’ve just caught up with the mail article, so basically Meghan is mainly going to be in America, the kids will be day boarders in the UK and just go home to sleep and they will all spend the holidays in Montecito! I never believed the Meghan Mother Earth nonsense but blimey 😧

KC will pay because H is his son and his shitty behaviour is a reflection on him and RF. No way Dr C would even consider this if she didn't have enough evidence. I would think it's pretty damning

I hope that Sophie Chadauka (who is not a ‘Dr’ but who likes the title) is more than a match for HaM, because she has the smarts that HaM lack as well as a deservedly high opinion of herself. I think she wants a major apology from Harry and Mark Dyer.

She is but one voice at Sentebale though, although as Chair of the Board of Trustees a vital one.

Emille Van Cutsem is female, her husband Hugh was (I’m not sure if he is still with us) a good friend of Prince Charles & Emile was good friends with Diana.
Emile either phoned or wrote to Harry after the OW debacle to reprimand him and say how very dissapointed she was. She and Hugh had helped W & H after Diana died and William is close to their children and I’m pretty sure he is godfather to one of Edward’s sons.
They go with William to see Villa play sometimes. Very much trusted.
I don’t think there’s ever been any mention of Tom ‘Skippy’Inskips mother having a relationship with W or H.

Oh yes! Didn't Meghan attend Skippy's wedding with Harry? I think there were pics of her looking daggers at other women. Grin

Oh gosh yes - Tom Inskips wedding ....

I read they had broken up but she turned up anyway as Harry's +1 - the photos were - errm - interesting

She seemed to shoot dagger looks at any female who talked to Harry and also seemed to argue with the staff ... while Harry looked miserable

isn't mother her super power?? Momma mountain?

TheAutumnCrow · 26/08/2026 00:29

Yep, being Mom from thousands of miles away where she flogs spread is her superpower.

I never believed that they were away from the children all that time. I’d put money on them being here on the quiet.

But wasn’t one of the reasons they tried to hitch a lift on Airforce One was that they were anxious to get home to the DC ?

Thanks for the links. Totally off topic but that picture of Fergie!! Whatever was she wearing??

Did she break into song - “I’m just a girl who cain’t say No” ? 😂😂😂

Is that Sherbourne / the bouffant one behind her?

Unlikely. That photo must date back to mid 80’s, so forty years ago.

I’m delighted at least one person let rip at Harry.
That’s a tight friendship group he won’t be welcomed back in with. The son Edward is about ten years older than William but that’s who was at the football with William. What I thought was lovely was his 15 year old son (? William’s godson) was also in the group. Relaxed, close friendship across the generations. That comes from lots of private socialising. Edward’s wife is Tamara Grosvenor, sister to the young Duke of Westminster who got married recently (Harry NFI) and daughter of the late Gerald Grosvenor (6th Duke of Westminster) who was close friends with Charles.

Yes - me too. In fact that’s an interesting point: I wonder how often H has been given a bollocking in his youth? The combination of his royal status, his perceived vulnerability due to losing his mother and his ‘cheeky’ 🙄 personality has probably gained him a lot of free passes. Oh - and a soppy, guilt-ridden father.

I don’t think it’s been good for him in the long run. You can see the results now in his middle age - petulance, a belief that his very presence is an honour for others and a lack of self-reflection or sense that anything might be his fault.

There were rumours that Meghan was warned away from Gordon Getty by his kids in 2023 a couple of years after his wife of 55 years died.

There were also rumours that Meghan was calling and trying to arrange a meeting with Bill Gates the same week his divorce was announced

O M G. No other words!

MissFenellaPrism · 25/08/2026 22:26

I think she's just clueless.

I don’t. I think she’s very calculating and snide. She knows exactly what she’s doing, there’s a game plan and she’s in charge.

So why all the obvious lies that can be checked up on?
Cleaver people don't tell so many lies which are obvious, then back track, pretending they didn't happen.
It's a quick way to lose all trust and credibility.
She had absolutely everything. Now? Not so much. That's neither clever nor very good at calculating.

I bet Doria knows.

RecoIIectionsMayVary · 26/08/2026 08:08

It is very odd to say things when there are articles or videos about which disprove it.

But then this is back to 'my truth'.

I do wonder how Doria feels about the children moving.

DaisyDooley · 25/08/2026 22:40

It was Emille Van Cutsem.
One of her sons (Edward from memory) was page boy at Charles &Dianas Wedding, they are all very close to William.
Edit -I don’t think the name is silly but each to their own.

Edited

One of my customers was boiling with rage when a very drunk h was banging on her door, very aggressive and shouting for her son to go out drinking with him. He puked all over himself and her topiary. She shouted at his driver to remove him and arrange someone to clean up the mess immediately or she was calling the police and the newspapers.
H may be very impressed with himself but those in that circle are not and are certainly not intimidated by the RF.

diddl · 26/08/2026 08:21

I think H might have a chance of getting a few friends back if M isn't around.

But I would imagine they would be wary.

He might be relying on sympathy for the kids as an in!

Jesus. Imagine being a highly trained PPO/driver and you end up cleaning up the sick off H’s clothes as a job. I hope it factors into his security review, that he’s still a drug-using drinker.

I can't keep up. Is latest spin, Harry in UK full time, kids in school but cared for by nannies and Meg mostly in US ???

binkie163 · 26/08/2026 08:35

Yep, hard to be respectful to someone in that state. He also at the click of a switch expected them to be all matey with him and laugh at his bants. Often reported that his USA guards were his only friends over there. Sad state of affairs when he is paying for friends. He won't find it easy in UK as most middle aged chaps have family, responsibility and top jobs, they no longer want to behave like Rik Mayall in bottom.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 26/08/2026 08:42

My2cents1975 · 25/08/2026 15:26

KC3 has a long track record of protecting H from the consequences of his actions. We can go back to the Art A level where the teacher did the work and the Sandhurst entry on the back of those dodgy A levels.

In life, as in finance, the past is not always predictive of the future, but we still lean on past patterns of behaviour to anticipate future behaviour.

IMHO, one cannot say that KC will interfere, but based on his past enabling actions, he is more than likely than not to try to help his darling boy.

Totally agree, My2cents, and though Charles has enabled a LOT worse than Harry, I see no reason to assume he won't do the same this time

Looking like that, in reality.

Meanwhile the pair of them will continue to manifest and fabulise away about being global leaders which is about as believable as being told one’s Napoleon and so’s the other (ie they’re cuckoo).

And to h's detriment unfortunately. We gave another AMW in our midst unfortunately. Give it 20 / 30 years and H will be holed up somewhere in Sandringham (or wherever AMW is hidden away).
