Archwell is grateful for their sacrifice…. I’m sure that eases the burden of those affected 🤨
Posturing pair of ninnies.

At least their message of sympathy and gratitude wasn't written on fruit with a Sharpie and an xox

3 days too late! , obligatory picture of them attempting to look as if they care! 🙄

Errr. Only 1 day late, Jeff. 9/11 is the 11th September. But still, late. And in this case not better late than never 😆😆

Google says that photo is from a 2021 memorial for 9-11.

So not only a photo to make it all about them, but a photo chosen because they look better/younger.

And/or still married/together. Idk. Pure speculation.

First photo I've seen where HAMs fingers aren't slithering all over one another, but instead the restless digits on both their hands are restlessly searching to entwine and grasp themselves ;must have taken a lot of restraint!

I know, why do they clutch each other all the time?

I remember reading after The Flounce that the Middletons had invited Meghan to tea or something and she declined as she thought they were boring .

An arch grifter thought fellow arch grifters 'boring'?

She'd have done better to force down the tea and cake and take tips 🤓

Ah! So five years and one day late 😎

MrsLeonFarrell · 12/09/2026 20:42

If the statement is from Archwell Philanthropies why is it on paper headed The Office of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex? Can Archwell not afford headed paper? Has Archetype Phil done anything other than release a statement on the wrong paper? Smoke and mirrors

It is all very amateurish.

Or 5 years early and one day late 🫠 I need another lie down 😅

I guess they were too busy having tantrums yesterday to take the time to repost an old photo.

MauveLibrary · 12/09/2026 20:52

I think the palace are going to need to take more drastic steps...this ridiculous behaviour is getting beyond a joke.

They would whine and tantrum if the palace and parliament took the most drastic step of complete title removal but nobody would be sympathetic towards them apart from a few sewer nutters.

They are trying to elbow their way into UK charities and high profile events to try and compete with the real royals. The constant attempts to put out press releases about their "official engagements" and press releases on days that coincide with official royal engagements and even on the day that Prince George started at Eton..they were trying to upstage a child. That is beyond nasty.

They are utterly deranged. This makes them look like fixated stalkers. Private people do not have official engagements.

Titles need to go totally and removal from the line of succession. Removal from the RF website. Nuclear option. They will wail and squeal and whine and whinge about how they have been cruelly deleted and ostracised but they have brought this on themselves.

Maybe- and I know this is wild- but just maybe on a day when it's a national or international day of remembrance or mourning they should try and put a brief lid on any squabbles or point scoring, out of respect for others.

Maybe someone should suggest this to them, with wamth and kindness, ofc.

Gonners · 12/09/2026 20:54

The thing I find most fascinating about this is that H&M (purveyors of low-quality tat) can seriously think that this matters to anyone other than them.

It's fun to speculate what would have happened if Camilla and Andrew Parker Bowles hadn't been steamrollered into marriage by their parents and the royals had been allowed to marry who they liked. Charles would have gone for Camilla, thus saving them both from getting divorced, and APB would have gone for Anne, ditto. Okay - we wouldn't have Zara Tindall, which would be a shame. And Anne's children would be Catholics - oh, the horror! But removing Diana from the equation might have made all the difference.

Rentfreeinyourhead · 12/09/2026 20:58

Blimey. You lot have been busy.

If anyone is on Facebook then find Eton College as they have posted a reel about the first day of school. No George, though.

Anne would still have got divorced. AP B is a serial philanderer. Or was.

Totally agree

CluelessAmerican · 12/09/2026 21:06

Mauve, Totally agree with your last post,

This 9/11 stunt is totally disaster tourism. As someone whose husband sometimes had meeting at the Pentagon and could not reach him in his DC office for ten hours, this really chaps my ass.

Why bother, a day late? What a ridiculous pair of idiots

BasiliskStare · 12/09/2026 21:11

I'm very much if it ever came to it , publish and be damned as far as M goes. 18months ish in the WRF , I'll bet she's cast her best shade.

I am coming to the conclusion if H&M are going to clap back at the Lord Chancellor , perhaps they do need stronger sanctions or more absolutely undeniable proof they are not Royal in any sense. If H wants to build a relationship with his father does it matter what his title is. He said titles didn't matter - OK we all know he didn't mean it but I think it would be a 9 day wonder if it happened. Of course we'd get the " How can you tell a 4 year old girl she isn't a princess any longer? " heart tug. But equally I think B & E should not be princesses any longer so may be there is an equitable way of restructuring the titles.

BasiliskStare · 12/09/2026 21:15

I'm not American but DH had a meeting in the Merrill Lynch building , very very early doors so out before the whole awfulness happened , but even I was stressed @CluelessAmerican because all the phones were down for a long time before I knew he was OK. I'm way down the list of those who have suffered but that post by Archewell and H&M I thought veered from good taste.

Well it was only a matter of time! , understandably this has gone down like a cup of cold sick with many Americans.

Are they talking about themselves in the last line ? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Viviennemary · 12/09/2026 21:17

I saw something that even said first official engagement. They are truly nuts. Who has deemed their engagement official. Certainly not the King. Maybe Andy Burnham since he's PM but I doubt it.

I don't know, but I've become ( much too) aware of their tendency to do this, and it drives me bonkers! The photo makes it look like they're really struggling as to where to put those fingers!

I shouldn't have thought his parents gave permission to be used in publicity stuff.

Passingthroughagain · 12/09/2026 21:19

Sorry folks, but the 9/11 photo is fake. If you look at their website there's no picture and the website page looks different.
