Still interested, still not bored….a small request please 🙏…can we try to keep criticism to actions and behaviour and rather than getting personal.😁

I think in the grand scheme of things H&M must be looking back thinking the life of a working royal wasn't so bad after all..

Absolutely. Bloody fools.

I don’t think for one minute it makes them happy though. They just strive for that A list appearance because that’s what they think “success” looks like. There is no fulfilment in their lives imo

Totally agree

@jeffgoldblum this thread is on track to fill up in the next few hours. It might seem early but can you go ahead and create the next one? I’d hate to see it fill up during the night leaving us all either homeless or hijacked!

Don’t worry I’m keeping an eye out, and will start one when the timing is right 💋

No surprise there then , I do wonder where all the actual journalists have gone?

Surely they wouldn't have been expecting one, they have absolutely no right be there after everything they have done.

Sad for A&L not to get to spend time with their cousins but unfortunately they are reaping what their parents sowed.

It’s hard to separate his behavior from it.

It’s like Ryan Reynolds. I didn’t see his beady eyes until I did and now can’t unsee them.

Bit like him too!

Can’t say I’m feeling any sympathy for Harry at the Rugby,

A couple of commenters on the DM site said why didn't he bring Archie, like William takes George to the football. But if that's the sort of reception he, or they, are going to get, it will be difficult to take the children anywhere.

I don't think HAM have any real relationship with their children tbh. He could easily bring his children to a rugby match. He has security with him. Absolutely no harm would come to his children

No, but it wouldn't be nice for them if they heard their father being booed.

I find comments like this below the belt.

Ok thanks for breaking this down. Whatever the actual figures are it's a big chunk of change for selling out your family & royal in laws!

It took a few posts for you to grasp what others were trying to point out. I don’t post on here much, I tend to read, but I really dislike it when people assertively post stuff which isn’t true. Especially when they keep insisting it’s right. I am all in for criticising the actions and words that HaM put out themselves, that’s the point of these threads. But just linking stuff which is often press guesswork, and being so adamant about its truth, is not ideal.

As a general point, not directed to you, but more to the threads. I’m here for the discussion on what HaM actually do and say (or don’t do and say in some cases, their silence is sometimes deafening!). With regards to appearances, Harry has set himself up as fair game re hair loss - he’s the one who put it out there. But I don’t think we then need to stoop to commenting on his eyes etc - none of us can help how our genes shape our features. For Meghan, criticising her questionable fashion choices is fair game, but descending into commentary on her physical features drags the thread down as, again, none of us can change how our genes have shaped us.

Sorry for the mini rant, but I feel that the reason I liked to dip in and out of these threads is because they mainly weren’t salacious gossip and bitching, they were discussing and analysing the stuff that HaM put out there themselves. I’ll shut up now and am going to look at a couple of websites re turning a photo of the front of my teeny cottage into an advent calendar.

I agree too. The whole tone has changed from discussing facts to quite bitchy and spiteful. I wish we could return to the way it used to be.

Of course they're not. If they were, I'm guessing William and Kate, as well as many other members of the RF would find another way to spend Xmas. William and Harry are totally estranged. Of course they aren't invited.

Ah thanks - I think you forgot @serenster but she’s maybe not been on this most recent thread

TheTwerkingDuchessOfMonteshitshow · 11/10/2026 05:40

It’s in the Mail today that the Sussex Squad and one of Harry’s old pals have said it wasn’t Harry being booed, it was in fact a decision the ref had made which coincided with Harry appearing on screen.

The Mail have doubled down on the comments to the extent they’ve published a time line proving the refs decision came 16 seconds earlier and that the tv pundits covering the game also commented on the crowd booing Harry.

I thought it interesting the Mail have challenged the squad with facts. Long may it continue.

Well this one seems obvious. Meghan was previously connected with the original Grenfell community kitchen and this project seems to be part of/an offshoot of the same project. She was also an actress, and the sports connection for Harry during the visit obviously comes from Invictus.

My thoughts are along the lines of when this would have been organised? Can organisations plan these events in the couple of weeks Harry and Meghan have been back and if not is this engagement an indication their return to the UK had been planned for some considerable time?

@MeghanAndTheSeals - thank you for your post, that's exactly how I've been feeling.

I agree, it used to be witty and on point, the tone has changed.
