SNL UK should do a Harry -themed " A Christmas Carol". The Queen Mother can be the Ghost of Christmas Past, Diana can be the Ghost of Christmas Present ( since she's always around for Harry) and HLMTQ can be the Ghost of Christmas Future. Prince Philip can play Jacob Marley.

Yes, her ideas are always at least a decade out of date, and she still has this idea that wearing 'neutrals' is somehow 'classy' and a 'rich lady' signifier, even though that went out years ago.

What makes it worse is that she's really not a beige and cream woman. She has the sort of colouring which looks great in jewel tones, but bland neutrals don't suit her at all.

I bet any fashion house who were being badgered for LFW and PFW are relieved they stool their ground. What an abomination.

Ms Snarkle must be piqued that Marcus took that blond TV presenter to LFW instead. I wonder if he has been cold shouldered.

Malala isn't all that anymore. She's probably also in need of "projects". I can imagine Meghan contacted her and said she'd love to work on something on girls and education and would she like to meet up for tea so they discuss some ideas she's had, and wouldn't it be a good idea too to get something in the media to raise awareness.

So, Harry is teaching a masterclass on grief. He sure knows how to cause it, doesn’t he?
As to Meghan’s outfit, with apologies to Dolly, blooming heck, how can you spend so much and still look so cheap?

The class is a masterclass in extracting $$$ from the gullible and the easily impressed. Dunno how successful it might be as a masterclass on grief - and given that Haz doesn't seem to have dealt with his that well, it's a damned cheek of him to stand up and pontificate.

Still, if that's what people want to spend their money on...

It's the pointy shoes that crack me up😂

They need exorcising by a holy man

PleasantGreenPorcupine · 08/10/2026 15:32

Harry is a middle aged man, living in a perpetual state of anger, petulance and resentment. He can advise no-one on anything, let alone grief.

That outfit is absolutely hideous. A new low. Everything looks far, far too big for her. The fashion designers must be horrified to have their clothes on display like this. Malala looks lovely in her outfit. I think Malala looks a bit uncomfortable with the hug...she is holding her arm to her side and not returning the embrace.

And the bag is like a bag for life from a cheap supermarket.. I am shocked her outfit is worth tens of thousands. I'd sent it all straight to the charity shop.

But people are talking about her . She is in the news . Her face is plastered all over the place.
Meg will see this as a job well done .
Malala ? Not so much .

But, but As Ever - she is unable to convert this press attention to a revenue stream for herself - all that happens is she hands click bait FOR FREE to her hated tabloids and SM commentators for them to make squillions of $$$$ for themselves.

Christmas has come early for them courtesy of the fool that Meghan Snarkle The Duchess of Gusset.

I will never unsee those god awful trousers, what a bloody state.

TheSaintedAutumnCrow · 08/10/2026 12:41

It's intriguing, though, to think she may have converted to Judaism - presumably within the Cali Liberal tradition?

ETA: If she did convert, that might have implications for A&L's places in the Line of Succession. Oooh.

Edited

Whether or not Meghan ever converted to Judaism, she became a member of the CofE in preparation for the wedding, so whatever she was before (or is now) was probably just another "identity" to be discarded if it suited

He's an expert on grief counselling now. Why do people give him the time and space?

Is he ever going to just shut up about his mother?

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 08/10/2026 15:59

She's the most ruthless user of things and people I think I've ever seen in the public arena - and if she isn't she's certainly the most blatant.

As someone who is a social worker and hopefully a compassionate bone in her body as well as setting up a company called ‘Loving Kindness Eldery Care’ - her family values might well be at odds with that of her DD. I wonder if Doria went to visit TM when he was in hospital in LA?

Didn't a pp look into Doria's elderly care company on a previous thread and said it appeared to be just a shell with no actual substance at all?

No. Being Diana's son is his whole identity, because what else does he have after he jacked in the RF and all their ventures failed?

Yes, and she's also not immune to celebrity fluff. Hasn't she attended the Met Gala at least once?

Also, it's always worth reminding ourselves that most people don't follow Meghan and her antics to anything like the extent we do here! She probably got an invite to lunch at Claridges and thought 'Sure. Why not?' I doubt much more will come of it than that, and given that she, unlike Meghan, actually has genuine security fears, she may not be best pleased with her new 'friend's' dial a a pap habits.

AcrossthePond55 · 08/10/2026 16:17

The property that Perry owns that they did stay in temporarily has also shot up in price, no doubt because they stayed there.

@BunnyBunbunbun

I'm going to assume that was tongue in cheek. If not, just to let you know that prices in So Cal (all areas) have absolutely skyrocketed in the last 3-5 years, including 'luxury properties' which sometimes stay 'stable' when 'regular' homes increase.

My son was considering buying a home in So Cal and renting out his current place to cover the expenses there, but he hesitated too long and can no longer afford the area he wants to live in. The 'median price' in the area he wanted for a 3/2 'family home' went from around $400k to close to $1m in about 9 months.

SisterTeatime · 08/10/2026 16:31

My eyes! I know she can’t help having massive feet, but her shoes look like ones from medieval times when pointy toes got so ridiculously long that wearers tied them onto their legs, and the trouser look like a load of cheap satin sheets in the washing pile!

The colours are awful and why in the name of God does she do that tucked in top thing when she has no waist and the top and bottoms don’t go? The coat - which I can imagine looking good on a woman a foot taller and a couple of stone heavier - looks like a kind of horse riding poncho blanket.

It’s hard to be sure from the photos but I would guess from the body language that Malala did not in fact want to be manhandled on the street outside Claridges.

Meghan’s clothes sense is just astonishing isn’t it. She has no taste, no style, and apparently no mirrors, just £££ and a wish for more £££

IcedPurple · 08/10/2026 16:33

Anyone else think Meghan is really disappointed that she hasn't been 'hounded' by 'paps' and that the kids' school hasn't been divulged yet? Because I have no doubt that the location is widely known in press circles.

Agree. Unfortunately he'll flog this to death (excuse the pun). It's all he has now. Diana doc and Ingriftus in 2027. Then I guess it's all hand on deck for what? Diana 35th anniversary?

Anglican churches in the US are called Episcopal churches. I live literally down the block from one.They generally have great music and concerts.

I think the Page Six writer must be a Kevin O'Sullivan fan and he was giving a sweet nod to Kevin. His opening monologue on "What just happened" contains non- stop alliteration. Harry is always referred to as "The Petulant Prince". Although Kevin is unhinged with his Trump support, his HAM commentary is amusing.

No way! That sounds pretty cool, I grew up in a non religious household so a lot bypasses me but great music & concerts I could get behind 😎

That's interesting about Kevin O'Sullivan being a Trump fan, I never would have guessed that! I quite enjoy his rants on TalkTV

TheTwerkingDuchessOfMonteshitshow · 08/10/2026 16:37

She probably spent ages getting it as wrong as she did. 🙈

Those trousers are so long on her and they’re not day wear. They’re at home/ casual evening wear.

Its quite breathtaking how blatant she is. There are several screws loose.
