This is what I believed , however I was mercilessly attacked and told I was wrong on the Australian tour thread so 🤷‍♀️

You were right. A special exception was made for Harry at the late Queen's funeral.

I think it’s fairly well known that Ruby Wax came up with that line which illustrates how stage managed the PR was for and by Diana

Didn't she write that speech when Diana said she wanted to "dissolve like a Disprin"?

Should I be concerned? I've just seen a clip of Harry turning up at an event in Birmingham on what looks like an industrial estate. The Range Rover number plate is fully visible. He opens the car door himself. There is no convoy. He is not wearing any medals. He is wearing a polo shirt and casual trousers. There is no Meg.

Poor ol' Haz is pulling out every stop he can to prove that he's still a senior royal, he's not and never will be again, he's just making himself look silly at this point.

True but if he was introduced as HRH last night, that's very bad form

Doesn't take much to find out they are his personal medals he has been given and can wear as he pleases. Guess you will now be saying why was he given them too as you obviously won't want to accept he deserved them as much as anyone else who gets given them.

3 of them are his Queen's Golden/Diamond/Platinum Jubilee medals I think (actually he may have been too young to get a Gold Jubilee one, but those are royal-only medals AFAIK). I think he has another 2, one to mark each tour of Afghanistan.

Are you sure it’s not fake? Or a lookalike? , does not sound like Harry .

Good point, @jeffgoldblum Silly me. Of course it can't be Harry.

And for Andrew.

On Remembrance Sunday veterans wear their medals but not their uniforms. Some wear berets. It's pretty obvious on what the rules are from the parade at the Cenotaph.

...and was your hat (of which I had to nibble a bit) made of...goat's cheese <gulp>?

I love it when posters give a wee snippet of their off screen life.

We’re all very fond of goat cheese here and it’s always on the table at out Christmas Day brunch. I get it from Waitrose though. 😊

Well done you!

Meg won't be seen until h's popularity rises. He will make sure he's seen out and about "cheeky Chappy" good ole Harry constantly for the next few weeks

No way it wasn’t Camilla, and not just because I’m quite sure it was one thing Charles having to get married and have a physical relationship with his wife but I’d put money on him never being unfaithful to Camilla with anyone else. Not that I think either of them would have considered he was being unfaithful. They probably dressed it up as him taking one for the crown. Do I think Charles was ever in love with Diana? Yes. Yes. And yes again.

And if Charles did love his valet, so what? It would only have been in the bro sort of way that men can openly love a friend platonically these days.

Easy to be confused now Ida , everything is so realistic 👍

Can you post the picture Ida. I’m straining at the bit to have a look.

For anyone interested, Spencer is about to be interviewed on Radio 4.

Scratch that. It was a segment of a full interview with Laura Kuenssberg to be aired later.

Not my post! You've got me very confused!

She was talking about Tiggy

Respectfully, I don’t think she was talking about Tiggy. In fact Tiggy was (quite rightly) so incensed when Diana said something to her like , “sorry about the baby” she actually engaged lawyers to stop the nonsense in its tracks.

Sorry about that. I’m a bit hyper having just been on the nebuliser for my cough. I wasn’t paying attention properly.

Apparently he is saying he is telling the truth.

As if he'd go on the record saying he was wrong. I feel this is rather backfiring on him so far.

'there was three of us in the marriage...it was a bit crowded'....I watched this interview live - she was talking about Camilla.

My2cents1975 · Today 17:24

It looks like Sussex PR is on manoeuvers again.

Two posts attacking Catherine, first her family then her and her husband with all the usual suspects plus some new names with very familiar posting styles.

Add that to the attacks on regular posters such as @jeffgoldblum and it seems the PR play is to suppress free speech that is not pro-HaM.

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose!

Williaminagingerwig · Today 17:26

Sooooo predictable! Not even done well 🙄

I thought it was accepted that she was talking about the nanny, Tiggy Legge- Bourke?

The thread about the “inappropriate photo op” is hilarious tho 😂
