Remember the future king can go in a car with his parent (with some discrete security) and these kids need a convoy.
It’s getting very silly. I’ve changed my viewpoint from them being poor parents to absolutely appalling.

Starryfifty · Yesterday 10:31

Unless KC agrees to pay for their private security out of his own pocket? But I still don't think it's enough for HAM

It didn't happen.

No one sticks their kids into a posh school in a new country for 2 days and then moves them to another posh school.

IF the kids are even over here (AI videos anyone?) (maybe a reason why the video's soooo cringy and stereotypicaly and try hard English countryside with deer and wellies and a roaring fire in an unseasonably warm Sept ffs) they'll be home schooling on their online school as usual.

This is just a bloody great fabricated fiasco to get security. Cooked up by the pair of them.

''Lets quickly do the whole 'move back' thing, pretend the kids are having trouble re:security getting to school. Then if it all goes well we'll be royal again !! and if it goes tits up we can monetise the flounce back overseas! Win win!!''

And we're all falling for it.

I bet the convoy parked in the disabled bays in the school car park, didn’t they?

You are probably right.

Where are they then ? Still in US ? I think you could be right as I can't see even the shittest of parents doing something so damaging and disruptive to their small children

It's a personal thing, so please don't flame me, but the picture of Harry kissing his daughter made me uncomfortable. Maybe it's the pose; I don't recall my father ever kissing me (or my sister) while holding and tilting my chin towards him - and he was an affectionate man. (As already pointed out by a pp, the photo doesn't look like a selfie, so who was taking it?)

I agree with you. So many photos of Lili there while Archie is wandering about randomly in a photo of her and him all dressed up and kissing in a vineyard. 🤷‍♀️
TBH the LAST thing I would be doing in the midst of this school chaos would be sifting through my old photos to find ones I like. This shows YET AGAIN that it's all about the image and the desperate desire to be noticed by Meghan.

Taking this convoy rubbish together with the recent "security briefing", I do wonder if part of the problem is the security company inflating risk and requirements for more income. It isn't exactly in their best interests to downplay the amount of security needed.

Janiie · Yesterday 10:49

Starryfifty · Yesterday 08:02

Simply the best at what exactly????

it's such a pity DM are indulging them with headlines

Why do they post such personal pictures. They really need to follow their own advice and get off social media or at least keep pics to close friends only. I'd say close family too but we know they sadly don't have any.

Puzzledandpissedoff · Yesterday 10:50

So given the increasingly manic attempts to bounce Ravec, have we had the "attempted kidnap of the kids", a "sniper spotted behind a tree" or another "near catastrophic car chase" yet?

Or will that be next week? Confused

jeffgoldblum · Yesterday 10:53

DancingFerret · Yesterday 09:33

Dai Davies, former head of royal security was just interviewed on BBC News and stated the Sussexes' concerns about security are entirely of their own making. They need to stop running to the media, stop broadcasting what they're doing and everyone will leave them alone. It's that simple (but, of course, obscurity is the very last thing they want).

Hang on ferret !! The Dai Davies who is used by supporters to bolster hams security claims based on information he gave years ago, that dai davies?

If this is the case then they are even more stupid than they have previously shown. Do they not think that there are ways of actually checking if their children were present at the school for those two days? Would this not be fraudulent behaviour. I mean, I wouldn’t put it past them because they are so insufferably self important, but even so

AtIusvue · Yesterday 10:54

The severe lack of planning in this move, choosing the schools etc …to the detriment to the children, only goes to show how rash this move was.

I think there must be something serious going on to explain this seriously odd behaviour. I mean it’s unhinged.

@jeffgoldblum Thank you for thread 39! You have the stamina of a Duracell Bunny 🐰!

My goodness, HaM are a pair of tireless ‘gift that keeps giving’ grifters. I’m fatigued just trying to keep up with their antics. Those poor HaMlets!

"Look at us but then no we're not secure!"

If I were their head of security I would be pointing out to Meghan that her postings are increasing interest of the wrong kind potentially and giving away locations which they have used.

So many times in here I've seen posters talking about the Wales children as being used to sustain interest in the monarchy . Where are these same posters now ?

Undoubtably the security people they hope to influence could check this very easily, @smilesy, but as we've seen so often the narrative could then change to "They only failed to attend because they couldn't be got there safely"

No record of them on the school rolls? No problem ... "They promised not to list them to prevent the media/assassins finding where they were"

Also, is it just me, or does today’s post smack of ‘oh crap, better put a pic in of just Archie and dad’. Several that focus on the girl child, Archie always seems a bit player in this soap opera.

4 photos with Lili, but just 1 with Archie.

And this is a regular sort of thing. Lili is clearly the golden child. Poor Archie.

StartupRepair · Yesterday 11:06

This modus operandi is not an aberration. This is how they are. All lies, manipulation, obfuscation and last minute decisions. Remember how badly they handled the announcement of Archie's birth? Same style.
Those poor DC must be so confused.

@DancingFerret Was the interview today with Dai Davies? I’ve searched and can’t find anything. Do you have a link please? 🙏
