Worth remembering that the Mail has 'Harry's friend' Bryony Gordon on the strength and presumably a direct source for any stories they want made public. A while back (might have been on here) there was a suggestion that she had been taken on by the Mail to give them a direct source to HAM.

Obviously I have no idea if she IS still a friend of H, but it's a possibility that's what's happening.

Talking of the European Royals- I was struck by how warm and respectful William was with everyone at the king of Norway's funeral. Harry in Spare talked about how Charles 'droned on about European royals who were relatives' and Harry tuned out because it was boring. He really isn't fit to represent the monarch.

Yikes. Doesn't take sartorial directions from TLHMQ and looks down on the billionaire wife ruler of the internet (that might not be her official title)

Honestly Megz just chill out you don't need to win every time. You got the spare prince and sometimes second place is still 10000 places above absolutely all the other commoners (who don't care 🙃)

Bryony Gordon? , isn’t she the one photographed in front of the Sussex monogrammed doormat?

Smh. Harry harry harry.

you know the programme Who Do You Think You Are, and most of us lowly plebians have to hope great granny was Christened somewhere in a far flung parish just to trace one withered branch of their family hedge because everyone died in the workhouse....Harry's family tree is on the curriculum, in a castle, on the wall, and we pay to visit and take selfies with it. And he zones out. 🤨

Yup, and being hugged by Harry. Different pic, obvs :)

I have a feeling she’s still friendly and on payroll, so I think you are correct in your assumption.

Reading this is another reminder that H did the RF a favour by flouncing off.

According to hello mag bryony is a close personal friend!! , so obviously she’s not going to be biased in her reporting then!! 😁
however after much searching ( they seem to have removed the full picture and only the cropped version remains!) , I have located this gem!

Apologies for the detail, but my god I wish I'd been born (to a rich family) in Corfu. I would never leave!

Gerald Durrell's description of growing up there in My Family and Other Animals was a slice of heaven. But it was another time and they had to leave when the war came along. It must have been a most horrible culture shock for him.
Alas those days are long gone and impossible to recreate however rich you are.

Now you've gone and done it, ShamedBySiri - I loved those but haven't read them for years, and now I'm going to have to get them out again Hmm

I actually visited Mon Repos while in Corfu recently ... interesting to see but not really anything to write home about

Mylovelygreendress · 28/09/2026 09:27

I tend to think this is more wishful thinking on HAM’s side . A bit like Dior - put a story out there and hope it happens .
Will be interesting to see if Jeff responds especially as M - allegedly- looked down on Lauren .

I just cannot see this being true. What's in it for Bezos ??

Starryfifty · 28/09/2026 11:27

The DM article about Amazon "with the expectation that Meg will make an appearance " enough said

jeffgoldblum · 28/09/2026 12:26

Thanks mylovely, all of us here already knew this would be the case but it’s nice to have it confirmed.
ps , don’t take the bait .

Here is a new angle of the “six cameras in my face” school visit. No wonder the boy was agitated.

That is hugely shocking and inappropriate.

IdaGlossop · 28/09/2026 13:08

There is speculation on X that HAM may consider using the foiled RAF Fairford in their security bid, arguing that they were the second target. But of course. Two individuals can easily occupy the same terrorist brain capacity as a conflict between the Middle East's most powerful state and the once leader of the free world.

So a couple of questions ...

Why does he need six photogs when surely the usual thing now is to have one or two who share the images?

And is that grunt standing on the far left security (I didn't think the teacher looked like that) and if so why the need to be so prominent?

God, security. In a school. Did he think the kids were going to throw rotten fruit at him?

This reflects very badly on the school, which should have asked questions to build up a clear picture before agreeing to the visit. Invictus is also a shambles as the event organiser. What should have happened: only official photographers and videographers - mobile phones handed in (pupils shouldn't have them now anyway), head present and introducing H, a veteran included, H formally dressed, Invictus branding in the classroom, inspirational Invictus film shown before activity, parents invited, pupil interviewing the veteran, the activity being properly introduced by someone involved in developing it, max three videographers and 2 x private photographers ie not press; talking head pupils on what they learnt from the activity, editing of footage before posting.

The purpose of the event was to launch activities which will be given to all Birmingham schools. Let's see how that goes!
