I missed that, could you explain?. I know who she is and how she died; What's been said?

CS told People he always wears some cuff links that Diana gave him, he then segues into Rosie’s death and says he told her parents he was wearing the Diana cufflinks and then tells People ‘Diana’s memory gives comfort to people even now”

It makes no sense, if he wears them all the time then why tell Rosie’s parents - it wasn’t some touching remembrance moment. I can’t imagine a situation in which I as the parent in that situation could possibly take any comfort in that knowledge and just seems unnecessary and a bit shoe-horned in to the interview and just distasteful

eta to change don’t’ to ‘just’

Goodness, that's very distasteful, isn't it?

SqueakyDinosaur · Yesterday 18:44

I'm intrigued by this, from the People interview

You write about Andrew Morton’s 1992 biography of Diana, which she secretly participated in. Many people draw parallels to the modern-day example of Harry writing his memoir, Spare. What’s your perception of that?
Is it all right if we don’t do too much Harry stuff?

Thanks for the new thread @jeffgoldblum 🙏🏻

William's silence really is golden, he doesn't need to say a word. Charles Spencer and Harry are a grubby pair - still making money out of Diana.

I'm surprised Meghan wasn't at the Wellchild awards tonight, she normally never misses the opportunity for a photo op.

I'd say that is so far removed from reality I question his thought process. Why he would think that anyone would find that a comfort is beyond me, but then to tell people about it so he clearly expects to make him appear really empathetic and thoughtful sends me totally confused.

If I'd said that it would be a kick-the-sheets embarrassment when I remembered how I'd burbled rubbish when someone was grieving and I definitely would not have wanted anyone else to know.

I do not buy the William is enraged/furious/incandescent narrative that is out and about.

IMHO, William behaves like an adherent of the Stoic school of thought. He accepts that there is nothing he can do to curb the behaviour of his Windsor-Spencer drama llama relatives, but he can control his own behaviour. William can choose to avoid the drama llamas and refuse to react to their provocations. (which infuriates the drama llamas as they want a reaction...any reaction).

And whomever is advising and supporting William, is helping William play an absolute blinder. Silence is golden and William needs to stick to this winning strategy.

Another excellent post, My2cents1975; declining to dignify stupidity with a reaction often works best in the end, and since W&K have done a pretty good job of separating themselves from the mess so far I expect it'll continue

Sooner or later Harry's real reason for coming back will become clear, and until then the rest of us can only wait

If it was my daughter (God forbid) and he expected me to be comforted by wearing some cufflinks I'd want to spit in his face.
He shows no finer feelings at all there.

As a PP brilliantly put it. H and CS are 2 cheeks of the same arse. This is exactly the same thoughtless, clumsy stunt H would pull

Maybe it's the nanny's night off.

Serenster · Yesterday 18:59

Way to insert yourself into someone else’s terrible tragedy, Lord Spencer. What an unedifying man he is.

IcedPurple · Yesterday 19:10

Not even 'People' magazine are offering excuses for Meghan's latest absence by her darling husband's side. Normally I woudn't consider Well Child a 'plus one' type of event, but she attended both years when she was a working royal. It's really odd that she's keeping such a low profile now. As we were discussing, either she's not in the country or there is some reason she doesn't want to be seen. I doubt it's because she can't bear to leave the children for an evening.

It looks like he has more hair in that photo

Puzzledandpissedoff · Yesterday 19:17

Thanks, @IcedPurple; I thought it was just the first WellChild Meghan attended, but it turns out it was two

As for the ridiculous People rag, I don't suppose they know any more about what's really going on than the rest of us, so avoiding too much comment on where Meghan is may well be the better choice, especially if neither H nor M are now briefing them

They did print that all four came back to the UK though, and personally I wouldn't have risked even that

Is that the same couple (man and woman) who he was photographed with at the Invictus thing the other day?

PullTheBricksDown · Yesterday 19:22

Wellchild isn't the event where Meghan wants to make her grand (re) entrance into PUBLIC life in the UK. Too many children, too much Harry, not enough her.

Nancy Southern, ATCO CEO/Chair?

Perhaps, PullTheBricksDown, but Harry's last event was an Invictus thing and she's usually all over that like a rash

As said though, it'll all come out in time ...

Williiam's turn will come. He knows
that and hopefully he'll remove titles and gloss it over as him slimming down the monarchy etc. Bizarrely, H doesn't seem to realise what's most likely ahead for him and his brood

Your post has made me think of William-as-KoKo singing "I've Got a Little List".

And we know who is right at the top of that list, don't we?

Badvocthebad · Yesterday 19:35

I think expecting any of these people to behave "normally" is foolish tbh.
They aren't normal, by any stretch of the imagination.
All emotionally stunted and most of them not too bright, frankly.
Benefitting from HUGE privilege from birth.
Very few, if any, consequences from their less savoury/illegal behaviours.
Enjoying the company of, and entertaining paedophiles and war lords (nothing to do with official duties..)
Dodgy deals in the ME, accounts in the cayman islands (THAT went very quiet, didn't it!?..)
They are all untrustworthy...even the late QE2...she "suddenly" remembered key evidence the day before the Paul Burrell trial...👀
They all make me sick.

Videoed by another guest, but not so far published in the UK - they don’t publish intrusive shots of someone’s private life here generally. The Sussexes might do well to note the foreign press have no such concerns.

"Fellow A List transplant"? Ellen de Generes? I'll admit that EdG had her 'A list moment', but that moment is long, long past.
