I don't hear 'breasts' but 'breath'. But regardless of that there is a child at the table who clear comments about them sticking cameras in his face and that footage has been posted and shared wildly. I thought children's web safety and consent was paramount to HAM. That these young people have been put in this position, at least some of them clearly very unhappy about it, and then the footage has been released is atrocious.

That child who was bold enough to speak up clearly doesn't consent. Yet his face and voice are now all over social media. All for the purpose of begging up a washed up Prince who ran away and regrets it. It is so hypocritical and he needs to sort it out.

It is never ok to use children in this way. I am actually really angry about it having watched it.

Ahead of the ceremony, Harry met the winners, where he signed a miniature figure of himself and was given several housewarming gifts.

Ffs.

And then he fought back tears. Just like Uncle Spencer.

The kid’s award was a little statue of Harry?!

Slightly off topic but……someone has pointed out the visual similarities on sm !!!! …I’m not sure this was what Spencer wanted to invoke in peoples minds! 😬

Talking of similarities, I noticed Uncle Charles is another one who has to sit with his knees as far apart as possible. Maybe it's an Eton thing (but I doubt it).

I'm not a fan of AMW by any stretch of the imagination, but at least he has some sense of decorum.

A perfect example of the hypocrisy of H&M. They don't care about privacy, they just want attention on their terms and will walk over anyone to get it.

🍌 message of thanks on the usual fruit for Jeff for the thread, as ever, but I'm 13 pages behind on the new thread already!

So unless it's faked or the photos were taken at some other time it looks like Meghan's in the UK after all?

I think I'll wait for a "live" appearance, but suppose gathering content for a documentary would at least be a reason for them to be here. I'm only hoping they'll gather it quickly and bugger off back to somewhere else, together or not

Fracle · 22/09/2026 09:09

That's a long, long time she would have to keep her head down for, in that case. Is the general public really ever going to start liking Harry again? After the way he's behaved, and without any MIGS to choreograph his life for him?

And Meghan only truly exists when she has a camera on her. Otherwise she's just a probability wave with a sense of grievance.

What are these "mini Harry" awards? Surely They aren't handed out ??

MrMarkhamsFanClub · 22/09/2026 10:25

I think meghan's security guy carrying her bag is ringing alarm bells for me.
As a student in Manchester in 1980s and the time of the Yorkshire Ripper, my bag was in my hands at all times - it had a pepper pot (my mother's weapon of choice 😂) a rape alarm, and if all else failed enough books in it to make quite a good defensive weapon with a good swing in the right direction.
Meghan probably has something legal but a bit more modern than a pepper pot in her capacious bag, but even with a burly security guard on her heels, surely as a danger-aware person in a crowded environment who needs CPO at all times you'd be wanting your own defensive capabilities.

Goodness Thread 42 … I go for something to eat, have a sleep, shower and dress and come back to find thread 41 finished and 42 a 1/3 full!!! These threads are the gift that keeps giving. A bottomless pit of curiosity and entertainment.

Will I ever catch up again …

Thank you @jeffgoldblum You're a star 🌟

I’m not “deliberately picking on Meghan”, I’m critical of her because she promotes herself widely as one thing and demonstrates another.

Other mothers who quietly get on with their lives do not concern me.

Meghan would not concern me if she disappeared from public view. I don’t give her a thought between insta boasts. Unfortunately there are rather a lot of those.

Nothing you say can justify your post.

Indeed. He should be reported.
However, there were teachers there who understand Child Protection and Safeguarding. So they would have.

I forgot about the teachers 😊

But I still maintain he said breath.

I suspect the last thing a genuine CPO would want is their principal tooled up with anything, for all sorts of reasons (both practical and legal).

However I would agree that if that really is a bodyguard of some sort carrying the baggage we can assume the perceived threat level is close to zero.

The picture of Kelly Zafjen definitely looks like it’s taken in the same pub garden. The cutlery is the same design as the pub in Asthall, and it unusually (for the area) serves food on a Monday.
I am intrigued as the pub is pretty local to me, locals get very irate with cars parked outside blocking the narrow lanes so hopefully there was enough space in the fairly small car park for all their 4x4s or they would have had notes stuck to the windscreens.

So after a few weeks here it is clear they are not here for rapprochement with the RF. They are here to make a Diana doc and get headlines in the run up to Invictus Birmingham. While doing this they will try to score paid security plus milk the headlines to be a thorn in the RF’s side.

It would not surprise me if they were still paying Montecito school fees to keep the places for next year when they return. In which case the school charade might have been just that as actually they are now in an online school so they stay on the US curriculum ready for their return in 12 months. Which would mean the kids could come and go anywhere in the world with their parents as they ‘work’.

Harshreality
Then the teen on the other side says "there's six cameras on me, do you really fink I'm calm"
No breast reference and no swearing

I've no idea what Harry's gestures meant.
However, the boy definitely said "There's 6 cameras on me, do you think I'm calm" which seems fair, although I don't know why you put "fink" instead of "think"?
He also clearly said "Fuck off" as Harry moved away, maybe in response to Harry's huffing.

Edited as I ascribed the quote to wrong person - sorry!

I put fink because I think that's where people are hearing fuck. "Fink I'm calm" is being misheard as fuck off

Harry leaving the Well Child Awards - his security non convoy pulls out directly into the waiting traffic at a red light. No drama.

I hear a boo but also some woman saying I love you harry I came all the way from Maryland for you eeeeeeek weirdo
Jeeeez that bald patch is huge, it is all the more obvious because he doesn't keep the sides trimmed, he has no idea about grooming.

That's a very short term plan. As Ever. CS book will sink. As will the Diana documentary. If HAM are involved in the production, it will be utter tripe. Looks like ingriftis will go ahead but it's now highly unlikely KC will be standing at H's side. What then? That's only 12 months?

Also pretty sure the pics were taken Monday. The weather locally here in the south east Cotswold has been fairly cloudy for the past week or so, but yesterday was a a beautiful hot & sunny day - perfect for a pub garden jaunt.
