That Closer article is absolutely gobsmackingly delusional:

"Now we’re told Harry is convinced that William is on a campaign to isolate him further from the royal fold and furthering his 'outcast status' as a result. The insider says, ‘Harry suspects that William has been on a mission to turn every single family member against him and slowly, but surely, it seems to be working. Harry sees it as very petty that he has effectively blocked his own younger brother from attending a family wedding.'"

Obviously, it has absolutely nothing to do with Harry's own behaviour. JFC.

I thought a photo of Princess Diana was on display in the delivery room?

Hmmm . . . they seem to be building up a bit of a reputation for always having an appropriate photo to hand, don't they?!!!!!

Sums it up. He will never ever take responsibility for anything

Harry sounds paranoid. Seriously.

Very interesting article and thanks for sharing . Clearly M didn’t take heed ( as ever ). So disrespectful too - H’s grandfather - for someone so insistent on using her own title !

Yes, it's been quite marked over the years how she never uses their titles in public.

The second story was about a photograph of Diana which was displayed in their house which M says Archie was drawn to

Any child would be drawn to something if taken firmly by the hand and pulled over to it...

A lot of Philip's family were Romanov, and killed by the Bolsheviks, plus the Greek RF were constantly being deposed and potentially killed.

His sisters married into the recently deposed German royal families.

So he was very well aware that the RF needed public approval.

IIRC, it was a DNA sample from Prince Philip that allowed the bodies of the Romanovs to be conclusively identified.

I have been absent and just catching up now.

Sadly it seems a lot of new posters have joined to post nonsense. Not sure if this is deliberate or just factual ignorance.

I started typing replies to some then realised it is better to scroll past and read the posts from better informed regulars.

Re Peter Phillip's wedding - I think I counted three stories put out in the run up to it about why the Sussexes weren't going:

-not invited because William was a bully so Peter had to side with him
-not going because Harry was so upset about Peter selling the photos of the first wedding to Hello (and breaching Chelsy's privacy)
-not going by choice - Peter phoned and asked if Harry wanted an invitation and he said no

An interesting discussion I saw on Reddit yesterday…..,people were arguing that if ham get the security that they are asking for …….then all the other royals working and non working should also be upgraded and get the same security too!
cost to the taxpayers aside , I can in fact see nothing wrong with this argument! 🤷‍♀️

Having security is a pain in the backside. You'd be mad to want it unnecessarily.

It’s not. Just don’t post deliberate nonsense and you’re fine.

Everyone is allowed to post their opinion. For someone to call it nonsense as though their opinions, speculation and gossiping is far more suprerior is nonsense in itself.

99% of this thread is gossiping and arguably that is all nonsense in itself so don't be worried, this is what this thread is like new comers are never welcomed.

Life is too short to be worrying about what other strangers say on an anonymous forum.

Nobody knows! , but it seems unlikely.

Patently untrue that newcomers aren’t welcomed!

And a reminder that not all new names are new posters. Do you really can’t know who is new and who is not unless a poster themselves shares their prior user names.

@basilisk did this on this thread.

Really, really sweet.

(Can "sweet" just mean "unsavoury" sometimes?)

I don’t think you were included in that comment Austen!
you are not really new either, you have been with us for awhile now and your posts are definitely not nonsense.

I will take any post seriously as long as the pp is prepared to join the discussion and respond to others. The sort of posts I ignore (or try to ignore…) are the “seagull” ones, where a poster drops in with a silly, hackneyed complaint, unconnected with the discussion, and then just disappears, I guess some of those are bots because they’re very predictable in content and they can’t engage with pps.

I agree. Opinions, are just those and mostly presented amicably.
There have been a couple of deletions on here, but mostly it's been very civilised and generally "in the spirit".

Everyone is welcome, I find new posters often have a different angle on events that I haven't thought of.

Meghan narrating any Diana documentary is a terrible idea. The reviews and opinion pieces will be like shooting fish in a barrel, why would she do this to herself?

Aprilfountain · Today 13:39

PoppysAunt · Today 12:27

Harry sounds paranoid. Seriously.

Oh, he certainly is that, no doubt about it; mainly because it saves him the bother of having to take a close look at his own behaviour and considering, just maybe, whether he might be even the slightest little bit to blame. And we couldn't have that now, could we...

Plus ….will anyone understand the flowery word salad? ….will she be anchored to her learnings? Are we to be treated to archetypes instead of stereotypes? ….🤔
