I don’t think it’s a happy household at all, there was a recent report we discussed in one of these threads where I think it was an ex member of staff that said when Meghan gets criticised she takes to her bed, wish I could remember where the article was from.

I'm sure majority of their time is spent with nannies. Unfortunately, auntie Ellen Degenerate probably around for dinner 🤢

What a bloody carry on. They are pathetic.

There’s a people mag headline that says HAM are viewed as a sideshow. What a perfect description.

They remind me of the famous line in Succession

You’re such fucking dopes. You’re not serious figures. I love you… but you are not serious people.”

The are not serious people

Starryfifty · 07/10/2026 22:12

They really are just a nonsense sideshow. William with Ross kemp yesterday. For a great cause and they had a good laugh together. Ross calling him Sir. Then you look at the other ridiculous sideshow.

I agree that her relationship history in itself wouldn’t be a problem nowadays - but I imagine the checks are more concerned with shady or sleazy stuff - dodgy associates, drug use etc. I suspect some as ambitious as M might have made some compromising choices in her past.

Feminist derail about the patriarchy incoming, apologies:

Yes totally agree she might not have made great choices, there's a vibe there about her willingness to be ruthless.

But

Tangent, but linked- but look at the eulogising of the late Jeffery Archer. Not to speak ill of the deceased but he lost his political career as he lied in court, had a suspected use (always abuse imho) of a woman in the sex industry/exploitation (you can't buy consent) and he did jail time. Then he was a best selling author after all that. If he was a woman with half that background the obituaries would have been off the scale chalk and cheese.

I don't really know what point I'm trying to make except that the culture holds women up to the saint/sinner standard much more harshly than a man.

Sorry. As you were.

Starryfifty · 07/10/2026 22:17

The November public engagements must be pretty sparse too if this drivel is constantly fed to keep them in the headlines

Totally irrelevant but I always thought Ross Kemp was taller.

Starryfifty · 07/10/2026 22:20

I honestly wouldn't have an issue with Meg's past and I think majority of us feel the same, if she wasn't such a rotten character. The list of her flaws are endless...I could go on

I agree in general but I think it’s the marrying into the RF which is the point. I. Sure if some royal woman had wanted to marry Jeffrey Archer (sorry - this has got me tittering! - I’m imagining Princess Anne😂) then I think the same judgement would apply. I don’t think anyone, least of all MI5, would care 2 hoots about any of M’s possible shady associates if she hadn’t briefly been a royal, with official duties etc.

Then again, I know only too well how vicious Meghan’s supporters can be. I regularly criticise public figures in my TikTok videos but bizarrely, it’s only ever her fans who send me death threats.

Bloody hell.

Harry really needs to get a grip on this, because M's obviously not. Meanwhile, his charities are not going to stand for it, and it's more and more evidence to support the Sentebale court action and Sophie Chandauka's public PR angle.

StartupRepair · 07/10/2026 22:59

H and M need to have lovely, stable, discreet, non transactional friendships for their DC to have the same. There's no evidence of this.

It's pretty horrible. That must be so frightening to receive 🥺 I would need to check but i recall Sophie C saying she received threats from the SS

Harry would probably lend him his brown shoes with the extra lift insoles....

.... actually no, not lend. Loan, for a fee.

I think both Chelsy and Cressida traded up in the handsomeness department

But hey - Meghan thinks Harry is a fox 🦊 - so to each their own

Well if he’s a fox he’s a bloody mangy old one.

I'm misquoting here, but they know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Starryfifty · 07/10/2026 23:04

If I was a betting woman, I would put a weeks wage on HAM forefront of the SS

It wouldn’t surprise me if PH became a target of the SS when (not if) there is any indication their marriage is in trouble.

I've got a fox that raids my compost bin. Makes a right mess. And the vixen makes a terrible shriek.

I'll just leave that thought there.

So do I! I thought I was the only one.

She genuinely scares me.

Agreed. She scares me too. Ths swan icon.
I hope Diana Taverner is on it.

I wonder where Portia is in all of this, probably wrongly but I thought she was kind of cool.. apropos to nothing except Ally McBeal & Arrested Development

I'm actually crying😂
