Well we have had the attempted upstaging of the Welsh senate …..now the Oman state visit….we all hope that whatever advisors that they still have will not allow any thing to interfere with Aberfan! 🤞

As ever will be launching their new range of table linen tomorrow. The six million dollar question is whether they get it dirty and wash it in public along with everything else?

Fantastic banquets are perfect. No calories.

Next time I definitely give Camilla the Rothmans and gin to sneak me in.

An important question for the ages!……can anyone really claim to be a 70s child if they haven’t run away from their mum while she waved a scholl sandal menacingly? 🤔

I love following the Nobel banquet in December - the Swedish royals always bring their biggest, bling jewels.

And the food looks fantastic - like the time the vegetables were designed as a Christmas wreath.

It takes great grace to be able to eat those dried delights without dropping them down one’s cleavage.

We’re certainly an eclectic mix. It drives the sussex squad mad because they can’t understand it.

Yes it blows their tiny little minds! 🤯

Firstly, I always have complete admiration for people that have creative bones, I can’t even draw a stick figure properly! The end result is quite lovely. I’m a lazy sod and would probably have chucked it in the incinerator if I had one!

Thanks for posting, I was quite hypnotised by the process.

How to spot a Real Working royal from a Fake royal

Wow, that's scathing. It's like someone told the media 'time to take the gloves off!'

UnappreciatedPrivateCitizen · 22/10/2026 04:21

@Cismyfatarse thank you for all the share tokens. As a DM reader, it makes a difference to observe at a different level :)))

As Ever could have offered the plushies sales proceeds towards the International Day of the Girl charity drive. Old jam and unwanted sprinkles are drab and akin to a private citizen bringing unsaleable clothes to a charity shop.

Just to share my thoughts on philanthropy - people give money, time and effort. Many of us volunteer our time and effort. Wealthy people also share their millions, which means they have to have big earnings and spare millions to donate. H&M either invoice for expenses or make money from their appearances in the name of charitable giving. Goodness knows what they’re doing with the funds in Archewell, but their practice feels smutty. None of their visits this week has made me want to look up the charities to learn more about their work, which is a shame. Is she selling the burgundy outfit which has received more attention than the charities?

I do wonder if it also puts others off becoming interested in those charities that welcome their star power and gift of publicity.

(thank you for the thread and interesting posts!! We may be getting better at dodging pigeons)

I love it! Finally some proper critical commentary.

"Massively relatable" doesn't that just sum up Harry in two words. The fact he thinks his life is relatable and his assumption that everyone is relating to him rather than his family.

The jam plushie reminds me of how confused I am by Meghan's decision to make her entire business identity about jam. It's such a generic, basic product to choose. Although I would argue that her real identity is in her handwriting, extremely manufactured and, I would guess, a pain to do as it is very mannered.

I'm going to say... she's not the best actress! Perhaps wise to move on.

She's worse than Bella Swan 🙈

It's impressive, really.
I'm a rampant Republican, yet HaM have made me feel sorry for the RF!

I too am a republican. They have really made W&C look great imo. Doing them a huge favour with their utter nonsense.

She'll have learned cursive at school, it's standard in America, and didn't she work as a calligraphy writer once?

I think H&M just emphasise everything that's wrong with being royal, just using titles and privilege to further their greed and ambition. They don't care about anything else.
