A lack of humour and self reflection is not helping.

The BBC have a curious editorial policy. Sophie can go to Sudan, highlight violence against women and girls, go to refugee camps and hear harrowing stories - no coverage.
Harry and Meghan can do a "tour" of Australia in which Meghan merchandises clothing, all about self promotion and publicity - ten minutes on the main bulletin.

OMG, I just saw the video of her entering, she is absolutely performing the catwalk walk, sashaying in with hand in pocket.

“Pushing hands into pockets gives a model a relaxed, swaggering, and effortless look.”

If you look at that photo caption it says the image of the princess bed is from the property’s pre-royal era.

Was just popping on to say this. The title of the article makes it seem like they had access to the home for the piece, but in reality it’s just photos taken from other sources and accompanied by a load of drivel.

As others have said, I’m perplexed by Meghan attending today. And the “not strong enough” briefing is grating on me. As I’ve said before, and this is being charitable with the timeline, she has “known” about TM for almost a year - it’s not like she’s only just found out. How many appearances has she made since last December? Has there been even a hint of her being distraught and not up to speaking/interacting in public settings/etc? Then, not being charitable (cos clapback timings re 2018!), all of her appearances and public utterings (trashing) in the last eight years make the “not strong enough” statement even worse. It goes without saying that the parents represented today will have felt not strong enough every single day following their individual tragedies, but yet again it’s all about bloody Meghan and her feelings.

Meghan has made the whole TM situation ten times worse, all because of her rushed PR clapback which was totally driven by wanting to get in a “so there” to the media and public. If she’d just kept quiet, then the above paragraph wouldn’t have been typed. So I have no doubt she’s feeling rather wretched right now - because she knows she’s lost control of her narrative and made things a whole lot worse re her image.

You can not speak about child safety if you knew your father was a paedophile and you did nothing.
I can not see how either of them can to be honest.

Hush now. We’re not supposed to have worked out the timeline 🙃

He actually dared to use the word 'prevention' in his speech. What about preventing harm to all of her dad's victims? Massive hypocrites, the pair of them.

He added: 'My approach to life, and to the value of it, has perhaps unsurprisingly always been about prevention. Preventing harm before it happens, rather than waiting for tragedy before deciding something must change.'

I don’t know who is advising HaM or if they listen but I would have thought M would have been strongly advised to stay at home today . Not blaming her for her father’s alleged crimes however her statement was ill advised and has left her open to questions .

A bit like her exaggerated sashay when the then Prince Charles chucked them out of the garden party.

The photos appeared in the DM before 9.00 so either they had a very early start or they stayed over last night . M would have needed time to have her no make up make up done plus hair .
Cannot see them on Eurostar .

Yes, you are probably right, I used to take the first eurostar which leaves around 6.30 am arriving around 9.30am Brussels time. Unless she did her makeup etc on the 2 hour train trip,

Personally I think a return to MIG access was off the cards the minute WAHHH ! was published. Perhaps even earlier.

However that doesn’t mean Harry isn’t capable of deluding himself that there must be a way back inside The Golden Cage. I don’t know that he’d jettison her in a last ditch effort to claw his way back in. But proffering a wife who lost her good hand of cards might feature in some “cunning plan” he’s cooked up inside his head.

I may be guilty of allowing my bias to under-estimate Harry’s ability to work out how to turn the tables as effectively as possible on his own. But, IME, the spouse turning the tables usually needs ongoing support to keep them on track at least until habitual residence has been firmly established for the children. I don’t think it’s the MIG, but maybe somebody who has seen similar in their own orbit, feeling sorry for Harry being the more limited one in the marriage AND being on the wrong end of an uneven play field. Who wants him to be able to operate within his marriage on a more level playing field.

The mystery to me is where are the people who should have been telling Meghan that she was taking the risk of walking straight into an elephant trap ? Or maybe she knew, but felt like she’d run out of other options. Perhaps the Cali Christmas was her planned exit ramp if needed. But that’s been taken off the table.

It’s also possible that all of the above is utterly irrelevant in the couple’s decision making process and I’m guilty of seeing patterns where there are none. Because my viewpoint is strongly coloured by my own experience of seeing the “habitual residence & turning the spousal tables” so many times.

I now don't think H wants back into the Royal fold. His titles, security, status are what he wants. I think he's still trying for the rival royal court

As an aside, I do quite like her coat!

I doubt he understands hypocrisy - way above his pay grade.

She’s much fuller in the face compared to Nottingham, comfort eating or the aesthetics clinic? 🤔

chapstickandfibs · Today 10:15

Not strong enough?

As has been said, she has been strong enough for years. Years.

To hurt others, make allegations, do walk abouts, make tv programmes.

The only difference is now everyone else knows what she has known for years.

I wasn't going to mention it.. The disappearance from pubic view for a few days, the quite drastic change in appearance.. no make up make up helps but ...

Private flight (or at the very least first class), very expensive hotel. Paid for by the Brussels people they're 'working' for ofc.

Maybe drama and misery are her equivalent of a few weeks of a good night’s sleep for the rest of us. 🤷‍♀️

Didn't he later make a statement to the effect that Buckingham palace, one of the most protected and secure buildings in the world, wouldnt be secure enough for him and his family? Completely ridiculous

Edited

Yes, he said people might be able to see him/them coming out of the BP gate in their cars (the ones with the tinted windows) Confused

Harry feels much safer with Meg plastering their whereabouts all over Instagram, including the Wace gaff in Northants, which he himself just double-confirmed by phoning the Sun to come photograph and publish his Northants remembrance appearance.

What's happened to Harry's mouth? It's like his lips have shrunk while his chin/throat has expanded.

Pretty sure nobody flies UK <> Brussels with F Class.

Those with time on their hands could have a look at the aircraft tracking sites and see if anything private pops up that fits the itinerary, but it would be tough to pin down and some of the private traffic is redacted from the likes of Flightradar

Yes - their news site is increasingly tabloid and populist- with celebrity news prioritised over more important things.

I read an article by their former Eastern European correspondent- no longer employed. He said it's just got to be about Trump, Palestine Ukraine and celebrity news.
