I don't think William looks well at all

No wonder. Poor bloke.

William's jacket is absolutely horrible, though.

It is a bit St Trinians albeit without the badge.

Maybe it's another second hand "find"?

DaisyDooley · 22/09/2026 21:11

Well, the Princess of Wales hasn’t let the side down has she!
I’ve never seen Meghan once look that good. Royal purple, Jewellry only worn by Queens, a heart…..yes, I’m quite happy with that.
I expect there’s a bit of flouncing up to bed in the Cotswolds tonight.

Im DELIGHTED Piers Morgan is taking legal action against Spencer.
It couldn’t happen to a nicer twat man.
Morgan is a wealthy man with I suspect much more liquid capital than Spencer - but since Spencer has admitted the libel and grudgingly apologised Morgan cannot loose.
He wants every book pulled and pulped plus a significant donation to The Kings Trust (oh, the delicious irony!!) -DH thinks that the books will be pulled and a retraction/amendment pasted into them , but either way it’s going to affect sales and cost the publisher a fortune. The cost which will I suspect be passed onto Spencer. What an utterly stupid libel to make. Not such a great historian as he boasts he is! What were the ‘fact checkers’ doing??
I suspect Spencer won’t make a penny piece from this and has also burned his bridges with William. I don’t think he will get an invite to William’s coronation now.
Harry should have distanced himself from this book if he wanted any chance of any relationship for himself and his children with any of the Windsor Family .
But, as ever, they have sided with the wrong side - no thought, no long distance plan. I don’t think that any of the family -on either side- or many friends will have much to do with Harry’s ‘anniversary documentary’ on Diana.
Surely they will have seen how the exploitation of Diana by her brother has not been well received by the public. Who would want to be tarnished by this?

I don’t think the King looks well . I think he has aged hugely in the last 2years.
I feel dreadfully sorry for him. And, I don’t think he will ever see Harry again.
I’m calling that. Harry saw him in July and didn’t tell his father he was moving back here, he has aligned himself with a man who hates the King. He cannot be trusted, I think Camilla will be The Kings gatekeeper and Harry will be kept away.
im not sure if there is another reason apart from securidee why HaM have temporarily moved back here or if there is something about to rear its head -time will tell and these threads will continue apace for some time I fear. Although equally I fear them stopping as I’ll have to start doing house work again!

Am thrilled about Piers M and I really hope he doesn't back down. HAM are back in UK as US is a busted flush but I think they have now ruined any chance of a reconciliation with KC and of course PW

Rhaidimiddim · 22/09/2026 19:11

Yes. I also saw one with the racial slur coupled with a four-letter word begining with c and ending with t.

The video of the school visit is cringeworthy. None of the children engage with H, none of them actually look straight at him. They were visibly uncomfortable.

One child articulated their feelings, on camera and is now a target of on-line bullying. Why the mainstream haven't picked up on this, instead of the ancient CS gossip, I don't know.

The school and Invictus have allowed children to be put in the firing line of on-line bullying. Given the number of children H&M have hugged, it had to happen eventually.

I just hope that this young lad is not forced into an apology, and that Invictus, Well Child, Scotties and the rest start thinking about what they are going to do to make sure this doesn't happen again.

That’s awful. I hope some action is taken against the racism.

To be fair, I’ve seen clips on TikTok where the kids are engaging with him. They are smiling and laughing, including the lad who said what he did.

I imagine he will be disciplined at school if he has said this. Most academies have zero tolerance on swearing in the classroom. At my kids school, which is an academy, it can be up to a week in isolation if you swear in the classroom depending on the circumstances and the behaviour leading up to it. They don’t let that sort of behaviour go. When people visit the school and hold special sessions, the kids are told that even higher behaviour standards of behaviour are expected as they are representing the school, My children’s school wouldn’t be impressed with this. Kids who behave like that are also very disruptive to the rest of the class..

Rhaidimiddim · 22/09/2026 21:21

Starryfifty · 22/09/2026 21:03

Regarding the young lad in the school. He was obviously very uncomfortable/pissed off. 6 bloody cameras? H and his team 🙄 should have picked up on this kid's discomfort and moved on or apologise to him for making him uncomfortable. I think H was actually jeering him with the weird boob thumping gesticulating crap

And the team should certainly have NEVER let that footage be released. For the child's sake.

But it also makes H look really bad.

You seem more bothered about the child possibly swearing and being disciplined for it than the racism that's being directed at him.

A question - is Harry due to be speaking at the Clinton event tonight or tomorrow?

I think I’m just resigned to it. I was born here but I’m not white so racism is part of my life. I won’t be holding my breath for any action to be taken about racism online,

If there is any racism at school, the school will try to deal with it by education and punishments. They also deal with disruption like swearing in classrooms which I see as a good thing. My kids would rather disruptive kids weren’t in their lessons. They find those children as annoying as the racists.

Agree.
It also gets worse with the Kids who behave like that are also very disruptive to the rest of the class assumption.
I thought he tolerated the intrusion very well until he thought Harry was pushing off, then he spoke to his classmates.

Also, admittedly I'm not on Tiktok, so I've completely missed the clips on TikTok where the kids are engaging with him. They are smiling and laughing, including the lad who said what he did.
Didn't Harry's PR put that anywhere else?

Harry needs no help to look bad, but do we know who filmed the released piece in the first place - or who released it for that matter?

It's pretty funny that the 2 HUGE egos of Piers Morgan and Charles Spencer will fights it out in court.

CS would do well to settle and make a "voluntary" donation

You're saying that that child who seemed to behave perfectly reasonably when Harry was there, but was caught saying he wasn't comfortable with 6 cameras in his face and swore after Harry had moved on, is as bad as a racist?
And how do you know he's disruptive?
He did nothing disruptive there - he expressed his feelings when Harry bumbled off elsewhere.

I'm watching Piers on Kevin o s at the minute 😅 piers demanding the book is pulped. Publishers will have to reprint. Charles S will certainly not make a huge fortune after all

I don’t agree with kids photos or video footage of them being online. The first thing I did when my kids started school was refused all photography and videos of them being published anywhere including newslettters and the school website. All children should be protected and I don’t think it makes kids less safe if they appear online. I suppose some parents would be keen for their kids to meet a Royal. 😬

I assumed it was the team in charge of the "six cameras in my face". Who else might it be?

It’s not reasonable for a child to swear in class. I’m saying my own kids find badly behaved kids who their disrupt lessons with bad behaviour as annoying as the kids that display racist behaviour to them. They’re often the same children anyway at my children’s school.

It is disruptive to swear in a classroom. At my kids school, it’s not tolerated at all, even when the teacher/adult is walking away. If it’s heard, it’s disciplined. Academies are usually shit hot on swearing….oh and on correct shoes! Cos priorities right.

SmokyMountainRain · 22/09/2026 21:52

If he was my child, I’d never have allowed him to be filmed and I don’t think the school should allow filming at all.

SmokyMountainRain · 22/09/2026 21:54

On a lighter note, the purple dress is 😍. She suits purples and greens. I quite liked William’s jacket though so what do I know. 😂

The other night I pointed out that it sounded like he says fuck off but someone said he says, "there are 6 cameras in my face, am I supposed to be calm" and when I listened again with that in mind I could totally hear it. Either way, picking on a random child to deflect attention from Harry acting like a manic weirdo is a strange choice tbh

I can't see that the publisher can do anything other than pull the versions of the book with the error. CS has admitted the error and apologised for it, not pulling it would seem to leave them open to damages.

I think the suggested way forward from Piers M is sensible and the choice of charity is very funny!
