Why on earth do they think picking fights with the king via the press would be in any way a good look?

Their PR disasters just continue to get worse.

From the article :

“They are public figures,” a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. “Members of the public know who they are. The idea that they can live a normal, ‘private’ life is sadly not realistic.”

Have they really not noticed how the rest of the fam manage to sink without trace for months on end?

Barking doesn't start to cover this pair.

‘Minor celebrities’ is a better description

At this rate..and if Ravec reaffirm that they dont need taxpayer funded protection, and they are unable to merch off their former status as former royals..I cant see them staying in the UK. Frozen out by the family and in a country where they know they are not liked or wanted...

The letter calling them private citizens and not public figures plus Andy Burnham referring to their security as a private matter are the first steps towards them being told their security is for them to sort out and at this time RAVEC will not offer them round the clock security.

I think Harry wants to raise his profile by arranging an outing for Remembrance Sunday and him putting feelers out was a part of the reason the letter was sent. As ex Army he wants to be seen on that day and he won’t want to just nip along to the Stow on the Wold War Memorial and lay a wreath. He wants to be at a big event eg the National Arboretum to make him feel Royal but will not be attending on behalf of the Royals.

If he can’t find a role to undertake that day it will really hammer home how far life has changed for him. He is now reduced to signing the Tower Studios name as a client with several other names already in the same letter of the name. I tried to see if I could recognise the other clients’ names but I couldn’t.

I don't believe Harry understands that the public are mostly indifferent or exasperated by his antics these days. He still thinks he has public affection as if he was still Palace PR Harry.

I can barely keep up with all the new developments. Loving all the chat on here. They really are posh-Eastenders. 🤣

Surely, as they are allegedly in the Cotswolds, they're posh 'This Country'

I would love the Mucklows to go and work for them ~ Kerry as Senior Housemaid with special responsibilities for M's wardrobe, Kurtin as Head Gardener & Maker of Scarecrows, Dad as General Handyman and Acquirer of Household Supplies and Mum as maker of BLT sandwiches. I can't remember the name of the lady who did tattoos but I'm sure there's a role for her too at Hammingitup Towers. There, that's sorted their staffing problems, hasn't it?

He and his wife are experiencing the FO phase of FAFO.They were expecting to be welcomed back with open arms into the family and slot back into being working royals and get the security that they wont shut up about...they were expecting the family to want to meet their kids and for there to be rabid press interest in them.They were expecting to revitalise their tenuous connection to royalty to allow their merching and their grifting to continue.

Instead they have arrived to frozen tumbleweeds. No contact from the family. No invites for tea. Zero acknowledgement of their return. Just icy silence. Within days they have been very firmly put in their place by a directive from the palace and it has been made clear that they are now private citizens and not to be treated as royalty. No taxpayer funded security. No half in and half out. No merching off their former status.

None of the family will apparently speak to or meet them or want to meet their kids ( I am paraphrasing from Neil Sean ) They were supposedly expecting to have photos taken with the King and their children that they wanted to leak on social media but the King was sharp enough to refuse to allow them to do this.

Nobody wants to be seen with them or be seen to endorse them. Richard Branson was very keen to slap down any suggestion that he would attend Harrys next grifting attempt. Ingriftus looks to be in serious trouble and none of the RF will attend.

Their return to the UK looks dead in the water. They have comprehensively burned their bridges here. This supposed extended stay in tne UK wont last 5 minutes.

I thought Step 1 was NOT to take your Crown Jewels to the North Pole

Prevention is better than cure . . . .

I see Diana's 'revenge' dress is up for sale ~ can you think of anyone who may want to buy it?

And I've just remembered the Vicar was very encouraging in his efforts to sign Kurtin up for vocational training at the local college

Perhaps he would like to take the pamphlet round to H and help him choose a suitable course

There, that's another problem solved

I doubt they could afford it but could just imagine M rocking up somewhere with it on.

Thanks again Jeff! Looking forward to more frothing about people we don’t know and who live rent free in our heads 🤭

Yes, thanks Jeff, and as BWLT says, maybe if the title had included several of the more hackneyed jibes we could avoid the pigeons and seagulls! Maybe

Frothing and spitting vitriol and bile about a young couple we don’t know and letting them live rent-free in our heads whilst approving of Andrew and calling Camilla Queen when she’s just someone Charles had an affair with when married to St Diana of Kensington.

People are notorious for refusing to refer to the Princess of Wales by her correct name and title. Misogyny at its best

Many refered to Lady Di for years. The french still do. It's how we are first introduced to them in the press.

Yes, that's when she became famous, so it kind of stuck. She said she liked "Lady Di".

twinklystar23 · 11/09/2026 07:21

I'm particularly interested around the security issue, what on earth is that rag piffling on about. There are many recognised famous people who pay for their own security. Why are they any different ?

Wondering when ravec will do their further assessment now they are back to live in the UK (as we're being told)

upinaballoon · 11/09/2026 07:22

I'm not spitting vitriol. I've thought about Diana's room full of clothes. (last thread) If I'd had her figure and money (at times) I'd have had ten rooms full of clothes.
I believe she once said that her feet were comfortable in most shoes. Oh, envy.

I think Camilla dresses very nicely, too.

If you bought the revenge dress what would you do with it, I wonder.

GrumpyMuleFan · 11/09/2026 07:23

@AustenitesUnite now that is a fab idea 😂😂
