A continuation of the shenanigans of our favourite non working royals! 😁

Agree.

I do wonder however, just how many requests for clarification they have received and if they are aware of HAM going all out pitching their wares to all and sundry.

in that vein anyone any idea what H was doing at Tower Studios today though I guess this evening he is busy sulking about Daddy’s letter, while M crafts the latest version of “service is universal” clapback.

I doubt that they actually very many, although I can definitely imagine PH mooching round the Home Office, MoD and the Foreign Office trying to get support for various ventures and activities. It's a useful pretext. Like when one person makes a mistake at work and we all get "as a reminder, the process is..."

Thanks once again, @jeffgoldblum Flowers

Coming back to catch up I wondered why there were 296 new posts, and see we finally have something from the palace which sounds pretty good on the face of it - not quite up to the standard of "some recollections may very" perhaps, but still pretty clear even if it's later seen to be largely PR driven

I can't imagine Harry will be happy about it though, so wonder if he'll clap back and how he'll deal with any fury from his wife if the "opportunities" aren't going to stack up as she'd want

Come to that is she even here? We now know for sure Harry is, but I'd expect the event he was at to have appealed and yet she was still a no-show

The Charles to Trump speech was enjoyable for that reason. Trump missed all of the nuance.

I don't think Macron would have missed the nuance of Charles calling the Bayeux Tapestry the Canterbury(?) Embroidery but I think it was taken in good part and not meant nastily.

He laughed! They both have a good sense of humour. Plus Macron appreciates that KC is able to converse in French.

I don't get this...what is this story about? Confused

De-lurking to comment for once as the KC letter was a blinder!

Apart from the fact that this letter was stating the obvious and was a clarification of the situation... worded in such a way to remind everyone that this is what H&M wanted...... what struck me was the phrase as they wanted which reminded me of the King Edward radio abdication speech.

Anyway back to me reading without comment, as you were! (Love these threads, they are my guilty pleasure!)

Edited

Welcome mama ! And please feel you can comment anytime you want! The more the merrier! 😁

The Alliterate one is Meghan . The story is about her pre marital activities. Allegedly.

HoldMyWine · 07/09/2026 20:16

Wow just catching up. A great statement from KC, you can feel the restraint there. Firmly putting HaM in their place. I can’t see them staying in the UK for long. They are persona non grata. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to be associated with them.

Where will they go, though. Seriously?

Thanks for the new thread @jeffgoldblum. Have to admit I read the title as “Hamper disaster” initially and wondered what had gone awry with a picnic basket 😬

Thanks for the new thread @jeffgoldblum

I think that Markle will totally get the 'subtle language' in KC's statement. Harry won't. And she's not about to explain it to him, either.

👋 again! , well we have heard that Meghan was seen in soho house , so she is probably here ! , how much longer she will stay after that statement remains to be seen!

Who is the man with the glasses and red tie? The top row of pics the middle photo?

Badvocthebad · 07/09/2026 20:24

Where else could they go?
H apparently "loves" Africa, but M doesn't and the whole African charities thing is going to implode imo.
More money H will need to pay out!
US is out. Visa issues, they can't afford to live there (in the way they think they deserve to).
Canada? Nah. They left fairly swiftish.
I think M will go back to the US "for work" and H will stay here whilst the kids are at school (assuming they stay at school here).
They will always be a thorn in the RF side, sadly.

Starryfifty · 07/09/2026 20:24

Ffs. Another thread 😂

jeffgoldblum · 07/09/2026 20:25

Can you imagine their Christmas planning now? Who is going to whose house, what food are they bringing? Who sits where.....

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 07/09/2026 20:28

I was just reading the story about H visiting the podcast studio earlier and I have to say he certainly looks thrilled to be there. One just can't grimace wide enough 😬.

There are other thorns in the side of the royals. A giant prick, if you will.
