I think also further to @MrsLeonFarrell 's point the KVCO is one of the things , when he was stripped of military honorary titles and royal patronages he was allowed to keep (because within the personal gift of QEII) So his medals I think by and large are his own service medals and he has this.

@BemusedAmerican Not sure if this helps but in the UK the RRP of the Diana book is £28. Kindle pre-order price £13.99. however I have no idea how UK vs US pricing works with such things.

He can’t seem to do his jacket up

I'm not sure that CS and H are all that close, really. But the Spencers have a reputation for being quarrelsome, according to Tina Brown, and the evidence certainly supports her assertion!

Oh they were.
Diana wasn’t speaking to her mother or her brother when she died.
She WAS speaking to and having tea with her ex husband though.
She fell out with her sister Jane due to Jane being married to Robert Fellows who had very little time or patience with Diana ( he was the Late Queens Private Secretary).
She also had a fractious relationship with Sarah her other sister.
The irony is , is that she was friends with her ex husband and close to her stepmother Raine when she died.

I don't know if Charles S and Harry are working together, I suspect not because both of them seem incapable of working well with others, but I do think they are both making the same mistake. They are over playing their hand and instead of criticism landing on their targets it's rebounding into them. Blatant anger and biased attacks is not the way to get your case across. Didn't Charles S learn anything from the fallout with Spare?

And CS doesn't have the "small boy walking behind his mother's coffin" sympathy or the decades being portrayed in the media as a loveable little scamp. He actually doesn't really have a hand to play, just doesn't realise it yet.

I suspect there will be an awful lot coming out about him over the next few weeks.

It looks like a slightly bigger crowd than turned up for Meghan's roundabout event.

Isn't it being serialised in the DM from tomorrow? Maybe someone can volunteer to read it there.

I'm only just getting my sight back.

That's my excuse, anyway.

Perhaps they thought it was better Meg stay away from ingriftus. I think this is project "rehabilitate Harry" then PR will work on Meg

I’ve read it!! , it gets worse and he has absolutely no proof of anything he has written!!

I think he must have been coached in writing dialogue by his step grand-mother Barbara Cartland. He, and others, is free to write what he wants because no-one will contradict him, the statement form BP must have been quite a surprise.

I must have missed Meghan's roundabout event. Did she forget she was in the UK and drive the wrong way around one?

I am still not convinced she is in the U.K.

CS claiming to suffer from "rejection sensitive dysphoria" which causes him "intense emotional pain in the face of criticism" seems sadly very familiar to the kind of manipulative tactic abusive men like to use to turn themselves into the victim and minimise their responsibility for being abusive.

A narc in other words.

The link comments on the young people’s reaction to him as most of the crowd are young. I would hazard a guess that 95% of them are friends and family of someone receiving a nomination or award. Literally no one else can be bothered to go and see him.

That's not really a crowd is it, more a number of people who happened to be walking by and stopped to watch. In the 90s I was on my way back from lunch and saw people outside a building. I stopped and asked about it and apparently Diana was about to come out. No idea why but I stopped and watched. Same size crowd hence why I'm assuming same reason they are there.

The Irish Guards were outside the Invictus awards including their mascot Seamus. Kate has been their Colonel since 2022 when she took over from William. Harry looking pretty royal in his medal from QEII surrounded by members of Kate’s regiment. I wonder if Kate or the Palace was consulted?

Apologies, I was referring to the speech she gave in Geneva, apparently while standing on a roundabout. Hope the photo uploads ok!

Interesting point - H has some brass neck I’ll give him that.

How disrespectful of the guards

LaMarschallin · Yesterday 21:18

Goodness knows.
The servicemen look extremely unimpressed and straight-faced while H is grinning like a fool (and seemingly wondering where his balls are again).

Fondmemories · Yesterday 21:18

Harry looked distinctively uncomfortable and ill at ease at that Invictus thing he attended, was it tonight? I wonder what's been said behind the scenes.

Oh dear.
Will that mean Meg takes to her bed or will she be crying on the floor when Harry gets home?

Is there something wrong with H’s mouth? He really looks very peculiar sometimes.
