I bet Meghan is bored rigid in the Cotswolds or wherever they are.

I’m thinking the best punishment is if we resolutely refuse to discuss or even debate their whereabouts! Both because we don’t care and because they are desperate for it to be known!

Are they stupid? , anyone familiar with the location will be able to work out exactly where they are from that!!!

I just don't buy this video. They're dressed for the winter and who lights a fire in September? It's not even cold! They look like they're on a private estate with fishing rights.

And we need to see this completely unrequested and unnecessary video why exactly? They clearly are not terrified about security and are only doing this to bait the media to say where they are as they think they will get security that way pair of egotistical fools.

My biggest gripe is the quality of the filming I prefer celebrity influencers to have steady camera work and thus leave me unnauseated.

I agree. It's obvious that they want the press to say where they are.

I mean we’ve had showers today and I needed a waterproof to walk the dog, but I’m still in trainers, not wellies and would have melted in a down puffer jacket.

It’s like an old C&A catalogue without the artistry.

It is such a shame for W that H is so hopeless; he really could have done with a supportive brother. Ok AMW has turned out to be a dead loss, but Anne and Edward have done a great deal since KC3 came to the throne, despite none of them being young. They won’t be around for W, at least not as much, as they will be increasingly elderly. So who will support him? There is ‘slimmed down monarchy’ and ‘too few people representing the monarchy on official engagements to enable the monarchy to continue to be relevant to people’s lives.

It'll be the Wales children.
Who else is there?
Possibly L and J but they aren't WR.
Possibly the tindall kids who arent WR either.
Begs the question are the RF necessary in the 21st century?
I suspect W thinks not, and that is the reason flf hom closing the books for the dummy of Cornwall?
Needs to stash some cash?

I have always believed the media would know where they are, and equally that they would keep to existing agreements not to print locations. It comes to something when the tabloids have more respect for your privacy and security than you do yourself.

I’m in complete agreement! , I would go one step further and speculate that it isn’t just about sticking to the agreement but has a dash of spite.

Probably, all that rubbish in the courts about breaches of privacy and the press are deliberately not printing locations or school details.

Although I would prefer privacy, for the sake of public service and in the spirit of last minute announcements being the thing nowadays, I'm announcing a week long official tour of Cambridge and London starting tomorrow, where I hope to interact with the natives and serfs. I feel it necessary to disclose that my tour is being funded by you the taxpayer, but I can confirm I require no security beyond that provided by the hosts. I believe this to be absolutely none. I am availing myself of public transport, and have not taken any luxury travel options. Thank you for your attention, a full itinerary is available for any accredited press.

(I'm a civil servant going on a week long course in Cambridge. I'll try to not annoy any locals in their beautiful city and promise to be very quiet. I just would like a nice magnet and a couple of touristy things to buy, please and thank you)! 😁

So as not to leave the late Duke of Edinburgh out, and with a nod to his patronage of the WWF, I've just enabled the continuation of an ancient species. (I've fed the tortoise)

Yes after following the trial and hearing dacre give evidence , then his statement….he was furious! And I noticed the silent support from the other publications too!

I wish to God they'd stop inflicting themselves on us. I'm not going to watch their pathetic video because, like 99% of the earth's population, I couldn't give a flying fuck where the H&M circus pitches its tent. But just knowing they've filmed something & expect us to care is so wearisome & irritating.

spreadandsprinkles · 13/09/2026 16:31

The kids are dressed for the heat and there are strong shadows, I bet they were taken in the summer at Althorp. Who the hell has a log fire darn south in September? Are they clueless or just taking the piss. Its like they are living in a Richard Curtis film.

I think I can see this as a possibility. But it's going to take time and a lot of serendipity. First he has to stop pouting and start wondering just why he isn't getting what he wants from the RF. Next, he has to realize that he's no longer the UK's beloved cheeky chappy nor Diana's grieving little boy in everybody's minds. Then, he's going to have to have someone close to him start whispering in his ear that 'it's not you, mate, it's her' keeping him from getting what he wants. I think that's a whole lot of planets that are going to have to align.

And in this scenario, is he sure to get the kids as they are “royalty” (obviously nanny’s will be minding them)? But he’s moved them here so she can’t bring them back to the States… I have a cunning plan!

I was actually wondering if this could have been filmed at Althorp during their summer visit. Easy enough to dress up in winter clothes and light a campfire 'for later release'.

It seems to be their thing.
When they took the Backgrid photographer to do their ludicrous faux wreath laying on Remembrance day many years ago Meg had a full winter coat on, despite it being a blazingly sunny California day.

Meghan would be bored rigid wherever they are because she has no interest in anything imo 🤷‍♀️

I really can't see Catherine being petty or territorial over designers. I can see though that it would be a mistake for Meghan to enter into any type of clothes comparison.

Catherine has worn high street brands a good number of times. I doubt she will be bothered what brand Meghan wears and certainly not compete over them.
