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?

Horrifying thought!
Surely the Cambridges need to rethink their travel arrangements from now on?

Is anyone else concerned seeing William, Kate and the children heading off on holiday in one helicopter? I was just working it out, that if Charles died and also all the Cambridges together in an accident, who would we be left with?

?Meg

I suspect that was her intention all along. I hope he doesn’t dig himself in further by having another child. I don’t think she’ll agree to have any more children, so I’ll be surprised if they do. I feel sorry for Archie, he has absolutely nothing that even approaches a normal life. If Harry thinks hiding Archie behind expensive doors is protecting him, well he’s wrong. Children need to go and about and see things. Just ordinary things like other people, cars, shops, countryside. He could have been taken out for walks even during lockdown, like other babies were.

I hope he does do a runner but I doubt he'd leave Archie. She's really got him trapped, poor man.

Oh yes Merlot undoubtedly. all those photo opportunities with glossy magazines...

merlotgran Wed 19-Aug-20 21:51:01

I wonder if they will have any more children?

merlotgran Wed 19-Aug-20 21:49:47

Meghan has made it quite clear she has no desire to come back.

I think the Queen's 'open door' policy is for Harry should he need to do a runner.

Little they can do for Charities here, Meg isn’t going to turn up
to meet about 5 people, they can’t make money here either.

Chewbacca Wed 19-Aug-20 21:14:02

Why can't they both shut up and go away and get on with doing something actually useful

The million dollar question!

Sunny82z Wed 19-Aug-20 21:09:24

Why can't they both shut up and go away and get on with doing something actually useful. I hear there are plans when quarantine is lifted for them to come back to the UK to attend to their charities.........oh please no.

they could have resided in a perfectly fitting grand apartment in kensington palace, well placed, with security, open space etc but they couldn't get on with the neighbours...

H&M have zero experience of being producers! What could possibly go wrong?

Chewbacca Tue 18-Aug-20 18:38:04

Top secret? grin They don't the meaning of it!

merlotgran Tue 18-Aug-20 17:49:57

Apparently H&M are pitching a top secret project to network executives. They intend to serve as joint producers.

Top Secret is Sussex speak for, 'You'll soon be hearing all about it!' grin

I am reading Lady Colin Campbell’s book, she writes of the
childhood of Meg and Harry,the control the Queen mother had over Charles and Diana spoilt Harry.

Rosalyn69 Tue 18-Aug-20 11:13:19

I read the Lady Colin Campbell one. I’m now over it. A dreadful couple. I’d cross the road to avoid them.

quizqueen Tue 18-Aug-20 11:00:32

If I see it lying around free somewhere I will read it for a laugh, but most of it has been published in the press anyway. The Queen must be so sad, it's come to this at the end of reign. I can only imagine what her mother would have said, having been through similar once before. I don't think history will treat H and M well.

EllanVannin Tue 18-Aug-20 10:55:29

Left to their own devices, these Royals are no different from us mere mortals , except richer but that's all !
Same as so-called celebrities, common as many of them are, you can't polish a t++d !

Those are my thoughts and always have been.

merlotgran Tue 18-Aug-20 10:54:44

'A source' has now claimed that Prince Harry respects the Queen far too much to have lost patience with her over 'Tiaragate,' calling Omid Scobie's allegations in the book as completely ridiculous.

Whatever really happened, somebody is telling lies and the authors should be called upon to name their sources.

It's odd that some journalists daren't squeak about H&M for fear of litigation whereas Meghan's mouthpiece is untouchable?

Things can only get messier.

Ellianne Tue 18-Aug-20 10:44:15

I really don't think Harry is doing himself any favours. He is becoming a second rate celebrity and is lower now than some very dubious people on the celebrity scene. He chose to leave the royal family where he was top dog, whether he will ever establish another such important role for himself remains to be seen. The book sounds as though it is full of some very petulant whingeing.

Callistemon Tue 18-Aug-20 10:39:18

They'll need someone full time for all those bathrooms. I wonder if they'll use them all in turn just to ensure a flow of water?

annsixty Tue 18-Aug-20 10:35:27

It was reported that Meghan and Harry criticised the Cambridge’s for having live in staff, they wanted to be just the three of them , no cook or housekeeper and only a daily nanny.
They are going to be kept very busy looking after that mansion by themselves, unless of course that is why her mother has moved in, a “home help”?

Blossoming Tue 18-Aug-20 10:34:31

I haven’t read it, I won’t be reading it and I scroll past the news items and discussions. I only read this post because I wanted to know what book it was referring to.

maddyone Tue 18-Aug-20 10:34:07

I also feel very sorry for baby Archie, because whilst he is obviously cared for and all his physical needs met, it seems to be that he has been brought up in a sterile environment, lacking outdoor outings and socialisation. The only people he sees are adults, his parents and grandmother, and any staff H+M have in the house. He has lived in several houses, and has not had time in any of them to really become familiar with them and feel as if the house is where he belongs.
