I spamming this thread with a lovely collection of photos of Mia Tindall on her pony at a pony club event. She completely looks the part and her seat is excellent. Another Olympic rider on the way?

Looks like she's a chip off the old equestrian block. Good luck to her.

(I'm envious of those Tech stirrups.)

Article in The Times could have been written by some of us on this thread, it’s spot on…

This thread has actually made me feel better about a bitter feud going on in my family and thankful that I’m not famous and having it played out in public.

I will be so impressed if William says nothing but it must be hard hearing his father trashed like this and seeing HaM apparently colluding.

If we close our eyes and clap three times, maybe @jeffgoldblumwill arrive!

Tbh I always thought 30 years ago that both those boys would rebel when they knew how their mother was treated. I think that what is happening now is expected. Anyway. I hope it works out for them all.

Excellent article.

But surely … “Spencer, in turn, has suggested that the Palace is attempting to “gaslight” him and he has revealed in his book that he suffers from an ADHD subcondition called rejection sensitive dysphoria, or RSD, which manifests as an extreme sensitivity to rejection or criticism.”

In other words he is a classic narcissist.

How are they rebelling!? William is doing a great job as POW, and supporting his family. Harry isn't acting like a petulant, entitled brat because of how his mum was treated.

In short, how can we take seriously someone who, in 1998, in the documentaryDiana: My Sister, the Princess, claimed that the worst imaginable crime was cashing in on a sibling’s death? “Can you imagine anybody making a profit out of their brother or sister’s death? I mean it’s so low it’s inconceivable… I’ll never profit from Diana’s death.”

Thank you for that excellent reminder of the size of the mountain of Charles Spencer’s hypocrisy.

I very much doubt CS is refreshing insta to see M reactions and a emoji of a swan. So bloody immature.

Assume M will throw a massive tantrum if L isnt Mary at the school nativity. Or picked for maypole dancing. Id hate to be a parent at the new school.

H is making a massive fool of himself. He doesnt have to work, his dc are at public school, the country is in crisis with many people unable to find jobs or pay bills. And he cant even be bothered to shave, smarten himself up and behave appropriately. He is the worst kind of entitled. M is the same. Jumped up madam.

If KC invites them for Christmas, no one else would go. Although a live christmas thread would be amusing :)

Irememberwhenitwasallfieldsroundhere · 20/09/2026 23:12

It also strikes me that there are very many people who dislike Earl Spencer

3 ex wives, potentially
the adult children who don’t speak to him
KC, Camilla, William, Kate
Anyone who is a friend to KC or loyal to The Crown

And I don’t think his dentist likes him, those are terrible veneers

and the same for HaM:

all the employees who left after short tenures
All those who accused them of bullying, Sussex survivors
William, Kate presumably
Anyone who is a friend to KC or loyal to The Crown
Trump, but so what
Camilla, presumably
Piers Morgan, Jeremy Clarkson & other influential Cotswolds residents
ETA the parents of the poor kids in Birmingham who are all over X

I don’t think it’s going to go the way Earl Spencer and HaM think it will. I think the British public dislike all of them and I think they’re underestimating how much support the BRF have, time will tell though.

But they probably won't give permission for the hamlets to be in anything which is videoed so they might not be able to be in school plays anyway...

Where on earth has @jeffgoldblum and @BigWillyLittleTodger gone they are both very unwell. With various things. I absolutely wish them well. I feel that this thread is not in the spirit of be kind. I ironically also really dislike the HAM. But i think they are spiralling to the extent that having a series of threads trashing them could have a bad outcome. I dislike all elites. I am going to report this thread on this basis. I hope you both understand.

What?

There's an interesting video on YouTube of the church on the Althorp estate where the Spencer chapel is, and where Diana might be buried. But it starts off with a look at the Diana memorial overlooking the lake - it's made to look like marble but is wood. The maker of the video isn't particularly complimentary about Charles Spencer. It all kind of fits in with the HaM approach - it's all about surface looks rather than substance.

Thus sounds plausible to me as does @Multibarpack 's point and I've posted as much before. Just seems like a convenient story to both put people off the scent and ensure that those who do just want to visit, buy tickets to Althorp. Though if so, I somehow doubt Charles S has told HAM as it'd have been blabbed by now.

While I hugely appreciate the insightful posts of @jeffgoldblum , I also appreciate their wise restraint in the face of considerable provocation. We can all see that another poster has been relentlessly trying to bully them. And I don't think we are owed their 24/7 attention and attendance on this thread.

AristocraticAutumnCrowFight · 20/09/2026 23:21

I’m also pondering on the Mail’s endgame in all this. Are they building Spencer up to knock him down with a swift hatchet job by Christmas?

What does the Mail have in store for Harry? I imagine it wants a bit of revenge at some point. Goodness knows what stories the Mail’s sitting on.

Will the Mail take the HaMs and Spencer down together, and will it be piecemeal or in one major ‘sensational exclusive’ spread over pages 1, 2, 3 and 7-8 with pics and polls?

PullTheBricksDown · 20/09/2026 23:22

Gosh, is it that time again? 🥱 I just don't have the stamina for these late night ruminations.

I think it'll be spread over a serial length set of revelations. Hope you're recovering now @AristocraticAutumnCrowFight !

Well, quite. Lots of us are busy with family stuff, or we’re not on form 100%, or we’re busy with work and/or wanting a break from social media. That’s because we’re just normal people, not paid PR bods churning out content by the word.

Good point. It’ll be interesting for sure.

they must be sitting on some interesting stuff surely

Wondering if they're holding off at least until the deadline for appeal is past, @AristocraticAutumnCrowFight.
I don't expect they'll wait until all the costs have been paid.

Well ! , I was actually getting on with life and frankly taking a break after the unpleasant posts , a mental health break as such , and unfortunately the notifications were getting a tad much!
as ever thanks to those with kind words….I will plop this as it’s a favourite of mine! 😁

Agree they are keeping their powder dry - H&M provide enough daily ridicule themselves direct from the horses mouth that the DM can monetise so they can sit on their pile of revenge indefinitely until a lull
