A crowd has turned out to see them. It’s currently being covered live on Sky News. Why on earth would anyone do this?

They aren’t working royals. They are just a pair of chancers who have scuttled back to Britain with their tails between their legs because they have died on their arses in the US. And now people are tugging their forelocks to them here.

People really are absolute fucking morons.

You are missing the whole point!!, it was revealed because he lied and said he wasn’t friends with her , hardly knew her and definitely wouldn’t have contacted her……I don’t recall Charles ever saying in court that Camilla was a complete stranger? Do you?

I think you are being kind, Jeff. No point was missed. This is tactic.

It's not a royal visit. It is just two people who are famous for various reasons going on a visit. Some people decided to turn out to see them (as they do with any celebrity) and lots of people were having a jolly time - what's not to like?

Beautifully written that said I need to wipe the dripping sarcasm off my screen. But not as beautifully written as Hilary Mantle's piece way back when for the LRB when effectively she shined the light on the whole damn crumbling edifice.

Thanks! I am ok with not writing as well as Hilary 😅

Not sure of the relevance of that 2013 piece to this thread about H+M’s trip to Nottingham this week. They hadn’t even met at that point, Meghan was still married to Trevor. Also not sure how the c+p bit about HM and HMQ looking at each other, and the canapés being on sticks “shined a light on the whole damn crumbling edifice”. I admit that although I read it at the time I haven’t reread the whole article now. Mostly what I remember is some quite unpleasant stuff about the royal women, mostly the PoW, including remarks about how she looks, body shape etc. Maybe that’s why you took the opportunity to post it? I’m not really a fan of that kind of thing when discussing any of them tbf. But do like Hilary generally!

I think when Pa had "tampongate" we can forgive him careless sweets-nothings said in private.

He can have movie snuggles with whomever he likes - the lying about it in court is the problematic aspect.

I shall learn from your "snark" engine it's quite a thing of twisted beauty !

Especially as she marketed her self as being a progressive feminist!!! ……

Well, that didn't last long. Archie gets Invictus and rugby? Lilibet is helping Mom in her closet and helping in the kitchen?
Archie has a blue backpack, Lilibet a pink one?
Meghan is very traditional, it's all about looking pretty and taking tea.

I’m starting to recognise a certain posting style. I’ve only recently come back to this board, I’d wondered where some of the very frequent defenders of HaM had gone.

Anyway, I honestly can’t see how HaM could be feeling great after Thursday. To actually see in person the plastic roadblocks and paltry crowd must surely feel a bit deflating.

I think you may need your snark meter recalibrated. There is nothing snarky in what @LookOutLookOutTomCruiseIsAbout wrote above.

Just looked at photos of the other two. From my American perspective, yes, Zara is prettier. The other two look like nice average people. Zara's looks are a step up.

wow just wow. so just because you think Zara is prettier......the other 2 are average.
Zara still uses her royal connections to make money.

What a nice comment.

I wonder if they had to sign the disclaimer used by Harry and Meghan in the US, where they had to agree to only say positive things, and have their statement vetted by the couple in advance?

😆most probably!!

Rhaidimiddim · Yesterday 15:30

jeffgoldblum · Yesterday 13:01

I assume you are referring to the white pill that Harry put in her mouth?
yes very strange that , that is brushed under the carpet!!

The meeting between Andreas Thing of the Palace and whoever was HAM's PR person that week. HAM's PR leaked it to CG, and the DM got pics and a scoop. HAM blamed it on a leak from BP. CG then got a second story - how HAM leaked to her, then blamed BP.

Soz if anyone has already pointed this out - I'm in catch-up mode, and several.pages behind.

What have they got to sell? Their Royal titles, and those of their children.
Is the next step is a reality show, perhaps? At Home with the Sussexes.? I know she previously tried out for Made in Chelsea, but didn't make the cut, so it obviously appeals.

They'd need a home for that.

I’m a bit concerned with women kowtowing to their partners in 2026!! 😬

I think those women don't know what the word actually means. But let's not get into a regent-level derail on a point of pedantry.

Pa never lied about tampongate in court. H lied that he never had journalists in his friendship group.

ETA: this is ( yet another) clear case where those here defendinh HAM could concede a point of fact and acknowledge that he lied in court, while still arguing that HAM are good people/hard done by/ whatever. But, no, H's egregious behaviour is dismissed with a whataboutery-squirrel ( typically AMW).

That's a very significant difference!
Imagine lying in court.

° lies in court
° gets found out
° judge remarks that Harry “strayed beyond factual”
° Harry accuses judge of corruption

Not very impressive from a wannabe working royal
