“Sweet chapter” 🤢🤢🤢. This overuse of “sweet” everything (sweet nod, sweet gesture) is bollocky bone idle journalism at its most rock bottom 🤬

bollocky auto carrot

A couple of new neighbours greeting her in a friendly fashion hardly constitutes a welcome by the “loving” British public, ffs 🙄

So funny! 🤣 🤣🤣🤣

This is "sweet Meghan " era. This is the problem. She has so many personas. We had "hot girl" "entrepreneur girl" "super mom girl" and now "sweet English girl"

Brilliant .

But how could I take a selfie with my herbal infusion in a bone china vintage tea cup hashtag serene-nearly-queen if I put it down?!?

I would just have to AI it back into the shot.

Reminded of the much-married John Cleese alimony tour about 15 years ago.

Rumour is that "Archie" was George's "security name" so what his nanny would call him when out in public/at the play park so people wouldn't immediately connect the face to the name ie looks like George, is called George therefore is possible it is Prince George. H&M stole the name.
And obviously couldn't use Archibald as that has the word "bald" in it and would be triggering. 🥚

I remember that and thought it a bit odd that H+M would use George’s security / nickname. It became even odder when they used the queen’s nickname for the next one. I expect the next baby would have been Steve, William’s nickname at uni.

MouldyCandy · 24/09/2026 12:27

Sharing from DM comments: people telling her "she'd been missed" - yeah, off the guest list!
Do we have a consent form to talk about their shed or has the press embargo been lifted?

"sweet British 2.0 era". 🇬🇧♥️🦢

British this, British that. Most British people actually define their origins via their main principality or country of birth/residence/heritage. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Auto carrots are welcome, messages on any produce is acceptable here (see thread 37)

shame PH didn't have an auto carrot or a Sharpie banana to read from in case of an emergency in his latest fascinating expert talk.

Archie and Lili fit with the now passing trend for cutsie old fashioned type names.

They did a trendy middle class fashion instead of a royal or aristocratic style of traditional or grand historical names.

W&C did super classic traditional.
Eugenie did more finding old historic names.
Both very posh.

HaM did the trendy thing normal people were doing. Cute nicknames for names.

The Tindalls did more normal fashionable type names too.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 24/09/2026 12:36

I think wealthy people like that only stay like that if they don’t touch their core wealth. That money will be earning them money but probably not enough for what they want

I agree with the principle, @fridaynightzzz, but still believe Meghan would have found it hard to see all those millions and not want them for herself

You can just hear the word salad about "investing to build our potential", and while we'll never know, Harry could easily have been stupid enough to fall for it - especially if it came with veiled threats about "needing to prove his commitment to her"

Deviating here but why the hell did Ham name Archie that if they were every hoping to enter royal life again? It is decidedly not royal!
I totally get Lilibet with Lili as a cute nickname although I feel Elizabeth would have been more royal... but where did Archie come from?!

Well I heard and yes that’s easy to say, but I heard Archie was Prince George’s code name when they were very young and out and about with their nanny.
If memory serves someone bumped into Archie out and about in Norfolk and onky later twigged who it was. Again don’t know if this is true.

Tabbytiger122 · 24/09/2026 12:15

But Archie, why?!! It's just totally out of kilter for the royal family, I remember at the time there was huge consternation with the name Archie Harrison!

I think it's so that he and his dad can form "Archie & Bald" when he's older. Possibly a comic folk band or a retro crimefighting duo.

Mylovelygreendress · 24/09/2026 12:42

Starryfifty · 24/09/2026 12:17

They never intended to stay in the RF. plan was global superstar philanthropists

Slightly disagree as they wanted to do some stuff ( galas etc) whilst earning mega $$$

Because he wasn't going to have a title. When he was born, their mouthpiece Omid Scobie announced that they wouldn't be having titles for their children. He would be; Master Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor.
Then they changed their minds and upped the royalty bit to 10++++ with Princess Lilibet Diana.
Hypocrites.

DrUptonsGardenGnome · 24/09/2026 12:43

Tom Bowers' Revenge states that Archie was Meghan's favourite comic when younger. I think when Archie was born, Harry said something about naming him after a friend in the army.

Or a Laurel & Hardy type duo ~ 'Bald' is already getting plenty of practice in as the gormless one

StrawberryWasp · 24/09/2026 12:46

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet sound like characters from a super twee young children's picture book.

They probably live in a castle made of popcorn and baby bunnies are their best friends.

Now this is exactly the kind of intrusive and threatening speculation which shows HAM's need for 24/7 security.

Nobody is allowed to know about the shed. HAM will, however, make constant teasing references to their shed, and post pictures of it on social media (but only from the back).

Does the shed have a massive bullseye on it because Harry asked for a shed for Archie and his security detail (tasked with building it) misheard and they thought he wanted a shed for archery?

Not unless he was a millionaire in Hollywood.

I suspect M wanted it & what M wants M gets. It’s odd as if truly calculating & aspirational in this vein you’d think she’d go for a classic? Or very old/posh (like Eugenie’s choices) but ‘’fun’ won out.

Perhaps Meghan would like to try this:
The Old Shed, Charlbury near Chipping Norton.
The Old Shed sits nestled in the heart of our well established family run enterprise. Once a neglected Old Shed we needed somewhere to bring together all of our guests, to reach out to our community and beyond. Somewhere where you are all most welcome.
