Still interested, still not bored!

Can you just imagine the dynamics of Harry, Meghan and Charles Spencer?

All 3 of them falling out with close family. Wouldn’t be backing any of those three having a close and reliable familial bond.

I’m just waiting for her to turn up in Diana’s revenge dress at some point in the near future

I hope W has been able to do a private deal on that.

I can't find anything to back it up though so maybe I imagined it?

It wouldnt surprise me in the least, they are always causing fights within their families, so I don’t think it would be any different between the three of them either.

I think the carol concert is easy...the guest list would have been drawn up ages ago. It takes place and is filmed in early December and there are VT sections that are filmed well in advance (I know this because I know someone who was invited and was part of the VT sections). So it could be said that their surprise return in very late August would preclude them from being invited.
It's unlikely they'll still be here next year but, assuming they are, I think they'd be invited because Catherine has a degree of maturity and graciousness that they really don't deserve. However, it would be made very clear it's a public event and there's be no pandering to hiding anyone's faces from shot. Then it's up to them.
Mind you, they may well have sold images of the children before then.

This is the puzzling thing (again). I wouldn't behave like this to someone I wanted to build bridges with, but - even more importantly - who I might want a favour from any time remotely soon. Something like, ooh, cash to pay off my massive legal bills, or an invitation to a high prestige family event, or for someone who is a VIP to agree to appear at my upcoming event. Any of those randomly chosen examples, really.

I think she will attend although I hope she doesn't. Maybd she has gone back to the US. Wouldnt be surprised.

where was the swan emoji? I missed it. was it on a story?

The dress is currently (or about to) go on sale.

Princess Diana's 'revenge dress' goes up for auction https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0lrk7d7j0no

The dress is currently (or about to) go on sale.

I know - that's why I said I hope W has been able to do a private deal.

I think it would be a big mistake to allow H and M any entry whatsoever into RF events, no matter how small.They are not normal people with normal attitudes to personal relationships, and they wouldn't see it as a polite and gracious invitation, they would see as a victory and a vindication of all the lies and hurt they have caused. I don't think there is any perfect solution for the RF, but I think the best would to just keep distant from them and try to ignore the digs and provocations as much as possible.

They have a history of being very short-sighted.

That doesn’t surprise me at all.

Sorry.

I'm not sure about the significance of the swan cos I don't think M does things quite as nuanced as that, she's more of an in-your-face sort - more likely to be seen pedalling one of those massive birds on a lake somewhere!
(not sure nuanced is the right word...)

look familiar?!

I've looked at hundreds of online comments in the last month. 99 percent support William and Catherine, who are intelligently keeping their mouths shuts and working.

I did just watch Tom Bower, who O love, on the Mark Dolan show. He advised W & C to be more visible, keep on working, and not to comment to show up HAM & CS. They should take his advice.

Edited for typo.

And an inability to learn from past experience

Shameless

Well, I'm finally up to date with these threads!

As someone else said, every time I think they couldn’t sink any lower, down they go.

Not only are they terrible parents, they’re also delusional, entitled and grabby.

Just like Charles Spencer it seems. No wonder his children don’t all speak to him, what a vile man. Poor Charles, Camilla, William and Catherine.

This is pure gossip. CS wouldn't have told anyone that.
Most of all of this is gossip. Even CS' book is mostly bollocks. The only hard evidence is that kid being unimpressed with old Hazbean.
(Back to the original comment: I'm sure CS wasn't impressed with them, but I'm not impressed with him, so - back to Hot Fuzz - swings and roundabouts, innit?)

@Whoopiedooo

I can answer a few of your questions (I'm a lifelong resident of California and, shall we say, familiar with the system).

Would a divorce be under UK or USA jurisdiction, or is that the choice of the person who begins the process?

In order to get a divorce in California, you must be physically residing in the state for 6 months, and in the county of filing for 3. Owning real estate (ie the Montecito place) doesn't meet that qualification. One way around that is to file for a legal separation, there is still residency, but no time restriction. The financial & child custody/support (US terms) rules in a separation is identical to those for divorce. Meghan could leave tomorrow and file for a separation the next day. It could then be converted to divorce proceedings once she's been here 6 months.

HOWEVER, filing here may not be to her advantage.

Posters saying she is waiting for the inheritance, do they mean waiting for KC to die......Or is there something else that would feature in a divorce settlement or child support deal?

In California, inheritances are NOT community property unless they are 'commingled with joint funds' or 'used for family needs', no matter when they are received. If there were to be an inheritance she would be SoL unless Harry put the money in joint funds or used some of the money directly on family needs. There have also been cases where a spouse has left soon after an inheritance is put in joint funds and a judge has ruled that they are not entitled to a part of it due to the timing. As long as Harry (or his advisors) are smart enough to keep any inheritance completely separate from joint funds and he doesn't use any of it, it will not feature in a divorce settlement. But I'd say the chances of that, especially the 'not using it' part, are nil.

An inheritance itself is NOT used to calculate child support. Income generated by it is. Distributions from an inheritance based trust might be (grey area). And judges do have leeway/discretion in cases of extreme wealth. Judges have been known to award a large one time lump sum designated as specifically to be used for the child(ren), as well as ordering ongoing payments.

I'm sure if M is contemplating divorce or legal separation, she is savvy enough to have already quietly sought both US and UK legal advice and will already know all this.

Thanks @AcrossthePond55 does that mean if he got a £20million inheritance and used £10,000 of it for his family, the entire £20million would become joint funds in the eyes of the judge? I think in England (potentially not in Scotland) inheritances are joint by default, but happy to be corrected.

Very familiar. Markle copied Diana from the outset in her bid to snare and keep chained dim-but-not-so-nice Harry.
