Me neither! grin

It's been nigh on impossible to avoid comments and opinions in the media but I do agree that if Harry and Meghan have not colluded with the authors why aren't they suing the pants off them?

The money PC pays them from the Duchy of Cornwall won't even cover the annual running costs.

On 15th August while members of the RF were attending services of remembrance for the 75th anniversary of VJ Day, Harry and Meghan both participated in Zoom calls from their latest mansion to promote compassion.

Sounds good!

Harry spoke with Invictus Games athletes encouraging them to 'check in on eachother.'

I thought it was highly appropriate.

Meghan referred to her 'personal experience in the past couple of years,' while speaking at a virtual conference for 'The 19th Represents' to celebrate the centenary of women's suffrage.

'There is so much toxicity out there in what is being referred to as, my husband and I talk about it often, this to the economy for attention,' she said. 'That is what is monetizable right now'

'So if you're just trying to grab someone's attention, you're going for something salacious versus what is truthful.

Once again she managed to make it all about her which is an odd way of celebrating women's sufferage?

I truly wish they would shut up. They are an embarrassment to Britain.

According to Omid Scobie PH was pretty rude to Angela Kelly and, by the sound of things, shouted at the Queen about her..
I think he has made a tactical error there. The Queen is well known to be extremely loyal to her staff and I understand is very close to Angela Kelly. I can't see that having gone down well.

I suppose every opportunity to speak publically is an opportunity to repeat their perspective.

Chewbacca Mon 17-Aug-20 11:57:51

They just haven't got the hang of less is more have they? If they tried, just a little bit harder to keep their mouths closed, they might just find that interest in them wained. But I don't think that's what the really want at all.

Camilla Long wrote in yesterday's ST, pondering on the new home which allegedly now has 16 bathrooms, "an apocalyptic number of bathrooms" she wrote, possibly highlighting the "inadequacies of the paltry powdering stations at the last place?" she went on to conclude "Could it be that 12 bogs were simply no longer enough for all the crap this couple spouts" Those were her words not mine, I hasten to add!

Not enough lavatories to go round is a hideous state of affairs imo and can only contribute to even more toxicity not only "out there" but also inside one's abode. Hopefully they are both well catered for in that department now. I'm sure any plumber would be delighted to roll up to their gaff to unblock any toxic build up should that occur in one of their regal lavs! or maybe Harry, having time on his hands and realising loads of dosh is required to maintain said gaff, might get the urge to don a pair of Marigolds and acquaint himself with his own numerous u bends shock

I didn't really understand the phrasing g and choice of words M used! Let alone the faxt it didn't seem to reference the occasion.
I got the gist though, who couldn't, me,me,me.

Namsnanny Mon 17-Aug-20 12:20:44

Nannies will have to live in though, so some of those toilets and bedrooms will be for staff wont they?

I googled Women's Suffrage in America because I didn't know if there was an actual centenary date. This is all I could find:

The Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, establishing women’s right to vote, was adopted on August 26, 1920. The centenary of this event is being broadly celebrated throughout 2020.

In other words, she could have picked another day - which is exactly what my RN son in law said when he spotted an article about her speech on Saturday. His grandfather served in the Burma Campaign and we were just about the watch the VJ Day National Tribute.

I presume H&M have dispensed with any advisers now.

I wonder how Andrew is now that is friend Maxwell is in jail? Is he sweating yet?

Was this latest attention seeking garble televised in UK ?

EllanVannin Mon 17-Aug-20 13:04:31

If all else fails---write a book " sigh "
I believe MM's prints are all over it.

Anniebach Mon 17-Aug-20 13:07:54

If her prints were not all over it she would have sued - again

paddyanne Mon 17-Aug-20 13:13:04

You need to scroll down.

She does love her wittering jargon. hmm

SueDonim Mon 17-Aug-20 13:21:10

None of those bathrooms will be of any use, given that President Trump has informed us of the inadequacy of American showers.

Santa Barbara is a nice place to visit for the day. I can’t imagine why you’d want to live there, though. It would get boring pretty quickly. Its also in a tsunami zone. ? ?

Chewbacca Mon 17-Aug-20 13:21:43

27 bathrooms? Bet that was fun trying to get hold of enough loo rolls during lockdown!

TheFrugalPiggy Mon 17-Aug-20 13:22:46

Won't be reading it. I wonder when Harry will realise how well he's been played.

Anniebach Mon 17-Aug-20 13:55:21

thank you merlot. Gosh she can talk and talk and talk

Callistemon Mon 17-Aug-20 14:19:28

27 bathrooms?

I bet you know who won't be cleaning them.

LullyDully Mon 17-Aug-20 15:29:12

Just keeping up with replacement loo rolls! Imagine.

merlotgran Mon 17-Aug-20 15:32:13

A couple with a toddler living in a mansion boasting 16 bathrooms, swimming pool etc., etc.

What's the carbon footprint?

TerriBull Mon 17-Aug-20 16:09:53

Indeed! what is the carbon footprint of such an opulent palace like home? There are more people living on streets than ever in California right now, particularly San Francisco and Los Angeles, one of the reasons why they shifted a good way north of the latter, to get away from all of that!!! How an earth do these people think they can get up on a platform and do the whole "we could all do better" malarkey hmm Of late there seems to be a lot of photos of Meghan arms crossed against her chest, eyes closed, in the nature of an about to be beatified saint, minus the halo! Can't help thinking that image is there to plant the subliminal message of "look how good I am I understand the world's pain"

Grannynannywanny Mon 17-Aug-20 16:27:18

The hypocrisy of this pair knows no bounds. Just as well their house has 16 bathrooms. The amount of bull** they produce they’ll need them
