On another note - I'm not sure I believe that Enty whatsit on X for a second.

Well, exactly, @BasiliskStare.

An actual newspaper in the UK as opposed to a tabloid reached out to three dozen parents of school children at the school in which the former Montecito students were set to attend. None were asked to sign NDA's. None have seen any sign of parents, security or kids. It was just an ordinary first week back to school

Shorn of the spin, what he's saying is that a mainstream UK publication contacted 36 parents at a school and questioned them about 2 other pupils.

I can see several problems with that scenario.

Cynically @PrivateCitizenUgandanAffairs- I think any of Harry’s old friends who aren’t in with William may well welcome him with open arms. For the time being, Harry and Meghan do have some glamour.

All Harry's old friends have enough glamour, and it sounds as though Meghan went down like a sack of spuds with them - one reported how she tried to insist on being told what designer clothes the women were wearing to a dinner party at his house. A normal dinner party with friends.
Harry didn't have boring middle class friends. None of them NEED him. They were friends with him because they liked him. Now, in all likelihood, they don't. He's untrustworthy and unfun.
HaM may find clinger on types keen to catch some of the infamy glitter, but these won't be the type of people Harry is used to. He will become increasingly unhappy. IMHO.
Hope I'm wrong on all the above!

Some very good points about Harry moving back and the difficulties he may face connecting with friends, @PrivateCitizenUgandanAffairs.

People who move away for work or education, and then move back, often find it difficult to reconnect as life has obviously continued at home while they've been away.

Unfortunately Harry also torched several relationships by his behaviour, so he is likely to find it extra difficult.

Back from my short engagement to support dairy farmers and our country as a nation of shopkeepers ( if anyone suggests I was popping down the road for a pint of milk well , well , I'll just stamp my foot and write a sternly worded letter to the Lord Chancellor ) I think @Thedom may have a point with the Wham / Di music. It may be nonsense , but you just don't know nowadays do you 😊

For the love of Betsy , if they were coming back to get some credibility for their and A&L's titles I'm not sure how over the last couple of weeks they could have done a worse job. If Sunshine Sachs is one of the best PR agencies in the US and if H&M are using them , well , either SS may kindly invite them to leave as clients or they've been given to the intern who writes down everything H&M says . No idea and because I know nothing about these things , I'm not casting aspersions per se on Sunshine Sachs.

Next time please leak your business engagements in agricultural commerce in enough time so we can rustle up some candid shots for People's IG; if you toss your blow-dried hair and look bored but feigning interest with a flash of pearly whites so much the better. In a premium brand of wellington, ideally. Try and aim for 5pm on a warm sunny autumn afternoon. Drizzle is so pedestrian.

sorry haven’t been able to keep up and read the full thread.

I take it that people have seen the video is at Ian Wace’s property, not the best security decision again.

I love the bit in the new SNL sketch when she brings ice ‘I made it myself’.

PlotTwistPending · 13/09/2026 21:48

Somebody please make it make sense! Why the hell would you post a insta pic with an easily recognisable bridge! Could have just had the picture of Harry and kid in the boat fishing without the background!

And as for that picture! Why has “Harry“ got so much hair??

As for Mr NFA island, what’s in it for him? His whole life and finances are being picked apart! I just want it all to make sense!!!!

It’s not going to end is it? Well, not end well!!!

TheRealHousewife · 13/09/2026 21:50

This thread is moving super fast. Apologies if this contribution has already been shared. On perusing the web I’ve read H&M and HaMlets are staying at Ian Wace place in Northamptonshire- Rowler Manor. The vid that currently doing the rounds has a view of a lake with a little bridge. There is a lake with a bridge at Rowler Manor. I think the vid itself is spliced together with clips from both Althorp and Rowler Manor 🤔

Re the warm clothes. Meghan likes to wear them to signal 'not in Cali' for those of us who are a bit simple. I remember photos of her on a warm sunny day in New York completely trussed up in a winter coat.

Usernameinabeyance · 13/09/2026 21:51

CathyorClaire · 13/09/2026 20:29

This would never surprise me.

I'm putting on my tinfoil hat to say I didn't originally believe she'd ever even arrived here although the video clearly blows that theory out of the water 😁

Nothing to say though it wasn't shot over a few hours and she (+ dc?) hot-footed it back to Cali once it was in the bag.

Very hot-footed in their case after toasting their feet near an open fire on a 21c day with bright sunshine 🥵

BasiliskStare · 13/09/2026 21:52

I do not know where the HAMs are staying but if it is Ian Wace's property they are not only merely "royal adjacent , they are also Cotswolds adjacent . 😊

The deer have got to be fake. I have lived in the Berkshire countryside, which is full of deer, and I have only ever seen a flock of deer running together once. What are the chances it happened when M was recording 🤔.

Maybe Meghan started singing to them so they legged it?

Thedom · 13/09/2026 22:06

@LongGinShortTonic , sounds plausible !! but apparently Rowler Manor breed Sika Deer to supply venison to high end restaurants, so the deer video could be from there and they are, in fact, running for their life.

Since Mr NDA's privacy has been torched I'm not feeling too guilty reposting some links from Reddit - mainly because the New York penthouse is so gorgeous I thought some of you might like a bit of property porn.

"📊 Residential: Financier Ian Wace and Gioia Bini scooped up a co-op that was once home to Senator Jacob Javits and his wife Marion at 322 East 57th Street in Sutton Place for a hair under $6 million. The seller was film producer Dorothy Berwin, who had owned the unit since 2018, when she purchased it for $4 million. The duplex has four bedrooms, a private elevator landing and a curved staircase."

HAM's huge fear is irrelevancy. Hence the not so subtle hints of their home. They expect media setting up outside 24/7.

Is Ian Wace an anti monarchist ???

There’s no virtue in hesitating and dragging things out. Machiavelli advised rulers who have difficult things to do, to them quickly and all at once - get them over with and focus on moving on.

And I think KC would be surprised at the approval he will get if he’s firm with HAM.

Not sure Machiavelli is the greatest role model 😂

Can't be if he supports the ultimate royals.

He is just a convenient person to give them free stuff. Hasn't the guy who gave them a house in LA been cancelled for something unsavoury. This willingness to take freebies from anyone is a bit dangerous. Hopefully, they will find a place of their own soon. But they have that huge estate and are probably there entirely alone most of the time. Even if they probably area in a comparatively small house.

HoldMyWine · 13/09/2026 22:35

Yes that guy has too much hair to be HRry

I don't believe anyone does anything for nothing.

What does Wace expect in return?

This would make me a Republican - the only thing stopping me is the fact those that fill the void would certainly be even more corrupt.

where has this image of the bloke come from though? on the IG video it's clearly Harry (IMO) someone has been tinkering with photoshope but I don't think it's Meghan on this occasion.
