I love your discussions and always a lurker. Can I add a theory to your discussion as you all know so much and would love your opinions and once I've added it ill slink off back to lurkland I promise 😀

I have no connection in or knowledge of inner workings of royaldom but from reading between the headlines my theory is that H and M are sadly separating and M is getting a wodge of cash to play along with this PR exercise so H gets back to UK and the $$$ involved are big enough that shes willing to let the kids be in UK fulltime even tho she wont be. M will mostly be in Cali and after a reasonable amount of time H will be replaced.
Anyhooooo back to lurkland. Bye!

I believe it's entirely within the realm of possibilities that at some point, maybe not this year, both the Wales and the Sussexes will attend the Christmas service. It would give the Royal lip readers and body language experts (aka the charlatans) a field day, not to mention the tabloids but William and Catherine are mature adults with a place in society that means they know how to be polite to difficult people. It would show nothing about actual family relatiinships but would be the right PR move for the monarchy. If Catherine can wrangle Trump, anyone else is a piece of cake. Sometimes they have to put duty ahead of personal feeling and it may be that this will be necessary.

We can only wish.ETA let's hope it comes with an NDA.

Just watched the whole of Palace Confidential on YouTube with Richard Eden and Sarah Vine.

They are of the opinion Harry’s security is (secretly) fixed because otherwise they wouldn’t be coming back. He’s also “making a land grab” before the King dies and he can’t get back in. The fear is that they will be going for it on the charities front and especially “woker” ones, thereby positioning themselves as the cool and trendy “court” as opposed to stuffy old William and Kate. They felt very sorry for W&K as they have had to take all M&H’s spite on the chin and now they’re back in their faces.

Thank you for this thread - been absent for the last few so I'm catching up!
All very weird about the Return of The Prince of England (sic) isn't it?

Thank you for the new thread, BigWillyLittleTodger.

Couple of points from the last. Thanks to Basilisk for posting the DM article about Henry getting in the Home Secretary's face about his security demands.

I'm fuming at the utter cheek both of that and his throwaway attitude that £5m is a mere drop in the ocean 😡😡😡

I'd lay good money that he doesn't think the down payment on the legal bill for his hubristic court case due at the end of the week and coming in at less than half that amount is anything of the sort 😡

What’s the deal with his visa in America? Has he got to leave?
Why has that become an issue?
Can’t make head nor tale of the sudden about turn. It is odd to say the least.

MissFenellaPrism · Today 20:09

I've just been reading that he's been bothering Shabana Mahmood about security. She's got problems with the prisons bursting at the seams, migration issues, small boats crossing, an unprecedented number of former PMs who need security and now some petulant over privileged man child wants her to give in to his demands. Poor woman.

This'll help you. It is a big deal apparently

What the world needs is less testosterone.

Honestly fuck off. Do as I say not as I do.

All his 'hurt' is because of his fragility of manliness. No one that has a hold on their testosterone really cares that they got one less sausage, or the marginally smaller room.

Thanks Todger no clearer has it been that Big Willy, Little Todger is the root of it all .

CathyorClaire · Today 20:12

Oh and another point from the last thread - a poster mentioned the rumour of Archewell finances being investigated being a possible driver for the fox running home with his tail between his legs.

If that's the case, it's long overdue.

EmpressSisi · Today 20:13

I’ve seen it reported that the offer for The Gentleman has already been rescinded due to backlash 🤣🫣

I didn’t think there was any backlash, more like bemusement. It’s Duchess Dior all over again.

God it’s exhausting to keep up with them and it’s only been a week 😬🤣🤣

I think they're both mature enough to deal with it. I read recently that Kate said William just goes very quiet when he's annoyed, so if he's very cross they'll just get the silent treatment and a polite greeting.
More than they deserve!

Poor woman.

The reason I started getting involved in these threads was when M said she couldn't get any help for her MH.

I am still furious now, because money opens doors, she had the best support money could buy. There are threads currently running where parents of teens are on their knees, trying to keep their children alive and there is nothing.

They have no idea what it means to be desperate, to have no options- and yet they paint themselves as the worlds biggest victims.

The sheer arrogance that the Hams think they are more important than all the other issues Shabana Mahmood has to deal with incenses me.

bluegreygreen · Today 20:19

Thanks again @BigWillyLittleTodger.

Continuing from the other thread
@SqueakyDinosaur
I am not convinced. Both of them have fairly fiery tempers, as has been documented frequently, and both of them, due to their hereditary positions, are unaccustomed to being contradicted or in situations that are not being controlled for them. To be clear, I don't think a fiery temper is a bad thing, just something that needs to be managed and used to good purpose. But I think that the level of entitlement that H has shown, which has only become apparent since he abandoned the advice of the MIGS, is unlikely to be absent in either C3 or W.

Of course, we only see any of them in public, so for KC3 and PW that is when they are on duty. None of us can say what they are like at home, though I'd be interested to know how reliable the sources are that have been 'documenting frequently' the fiery tempers. A lot of media have been running stories of rifts between monarch and heir, with no actual evidence when a closer look is taken.

However, it is a little unreasonable to suggest that their behaviour away from the MIGS may be similar to Harry's. There were already stories of Harry drunkenly falling out of cars, assaulting photographers, pushing women into ponds at house parties, assaulting a musician (drummer?) - all before he left the advice of the MIGS.
The behaviour was already there - it has just become more obvious now.

I don't have NF and have never heard of the show but from what I've read the 2nd series is due to air very shortly and a 3rd hasn't yet been commissioned.

Quite flimsy grounds to breathlessly reorganise a transatlantic life on.

I keep reading people saying that the Sussexes are cool and the Wales family are stuffy. I see no evidence that any of them massively appeal to trendy youth, or are regarded as cool.

I want my monarch and future monarch to be serious, thoughtful people who show care for the least fortunate in society and who focus on others not themselves. I don't want a travelling circus around people who take every opportunity to centre themselves
