A new recruit for the relationship thread ??

I bet HRH isn't impressed...... Fireworks ahead?

OMG Indeed! Surely that can't be right! What about their (the in laws') very nice little pad grand residence in Bucklebury?

This is the scenario experienced by many on Gransnet!

If it is true, I think that it is sad.
Being a Prince, or even an unpopular one, doesnt mean that he isnt hurting about this.

Unpopular?

Well, apparently (according to DM, so take it with a large pinch of salt) 'Doors-to Automatic' has been sizing up properties in North Norfolk anyway. Bucklebury today, tomorrow the world! Catherine Cookson would have a field day, bless her!
Eeh, there's nowt like a bit 'a gossip on a Sunday afternoon!

Arise the house of Middleton!!

He's not unpopular! He's very sweet. People like him now.

Surely he could just have the other grandparents executed so he can have unfettered access? He needs to ask himself what would umpteen great grandfather Henry have done in his situation, if his gout ridden legs and syphilis hadn't got the better of him before the grandchildren came along. Oh just forgot there weren't any grandchildren. Well maybe a few illegitimate ones lurking around somewhere.

He needs to come on here. Someone should email Buck House.

He is definitely not popular in my part of the world. Sounds like he is in others.
It doesnt matter.

I read in the DM (so it must be true) that Camilla refers to the Middletons as 'Meet the Fockers'

I can't imagine he loses much sleep about not seeing his GS; would probably rather talk to his plants than a toddler.

That's probably very true Tegan
Bet he's feeling peeved because C has her GCs and he isn't the centre of attention?

I think he does care. Very much. It's very sad. [sniff]

I don't believe that about Camilla. She wouldn't risk that getting back to Kate.

It crossed my mind when I read it, it's not just us ordinary folks that have this problem then.

I think the housekeeper/chief gardener jobs are just temporary as the others left and they will be recruiting new staff.

Perhaps HRH doesn't invite DS and DIL over enough? Or offers to have DGS to give them a break, poor things!
Goes both ways.

I do think he would be quite a good GP - toddlers love gardens and knocking down looking at plants.

I think a lot of people who become grandparents when they're in their late sixties - or older, feel pushed aside by younger, trendier in-laws.

I wonder what he wants to be called - 'Grandpapa' perhaps? Or something a bit more characterful.

I'm surprised the Queen hasn't got him on a pony yet. Perhaps she has I suppose.

I am not surprised that they are gravitating towards a family atmosphere rather than the poker-up-the-arse lot at Buck Palace etc. Good for Wills for knowing what he wants for his family - or rather what he does not want.

Most girls at the start of their married life look to their mothers for support and I guess Kate is no different.

I doubt it, jingl. Apparently Kate is allergic to horses

But how many SILs want their in laws to move in?
