Apparently he’s unable to speak, but it is very early days so time will tell how well he recovers.
I do feel for this man. Yes he was very foolish to get involved with the paparazzi prior to the wedding but then he has repeatedly apologised, and has acknowledged how very stupid it was to trust them.

Anyway perhaps this will mark the turning point with Meghan as she will surely be rushing to his bedside.

Were any of these various sources written in green crayon?

Because it's been shown over and over again that this rumour is untrue.

Why does anyone think they can say these things about people? Completely untrue things that can ruin someone's reputation just so you can have a bit of a gossip.

Where exactly will non working royals stand? Does anyone know?

Peeping out from the curtains in the room full of the 'C' listers behind the balcony? Underneath the balcony, or with the plebs outside the gates?
In an attic window with the servants, a bit like Bertha Mason (maybe thats where some royals would like to keep other members, forevershock)

Where will HandM stay - in Frogmore Cottage?
Will they double up with Eugenie et al?
Does it have enough toilets for them all?

A bit cramped for them compared to 765 Rockbridge Rd., Montecito I should think?

How many nannies will they bring for 2 kids 2-4-more? They will all need rooms. And toilets.

Will the children be allowed to play together? If so what games might they play, King of the hill?
Or with dolls, maybe a Barbie. No not that one, the one of the Queen I should expect.
Of course Auntie Megan may choose to read them all a story.

Then I wonder are Archie or/and Lilibet vegans? If not obvs, chicken is off the menu.

Will Harry compete with Wills by having a helicopter on his shoes? He did fly one once.
Or perhaps Archie will wear slippers with Budgie on them to support Fergie , Lord knows she needs it now.
Will she actually be there?
(now her nemesis Prince Philip isnt?)

Now that is the tittle tattle I'd like to discuss. grin

How do we know they are untrue though? Might be, might not be. Personally I never liked Meghan when she was just an actress in Suits, I thought she was really poor at acting and very 'affected' , nothing to do with her current way of life. She still acts a part as far as I can see. Not too far, I admit.

I could not possibly comment

Meghan is estranged from her father, and also her entire family, none of whom were invited to her wedding, bar her mother. She is also estranged from her husband's immediate family.

Odd that she estranged from her own family and also decided to estrange from Harry's family (except when there's lots of publicity)
She's quick to temporarily loosen the estrangement reins when there's something in it for her.
She seems to have form for this kind of thing, which is why I can't take her seriously.

Namsnanny ?

Will the Queen mingle amongst the crowds, unrecognised, as she and Margaret did on VE day?

Namsnanny Sat 28-May-22 12:37:46

That's a nice thought Callistemon21 smile Although the world has changed drastically since then.

LOUISA she told you did she ? blimey you got a crystal ball

Rather nasty of you.

In a thread full of some really nasty and untrue statements about MM, her husband and her mother, I can't believe this throwaway remark was singled out as rather nasty. I thought it rather astute.

I thought she might abseil down from the balcony with the help of 007.

Brilliant!! gringringrin
That would be worth paying to see

imaround Sat 28-May-22 15:40:31

I can't believe this thread is still going on

Megan and Harry report that they communicate with the Queen. They specifically made a stop to see her last month. Harry has been photographed twice with Eugenie. We have NO idea if Harry communicated with Charles and William. Other than what the press tells us, because none of us know these people personally.

Not visiting for long periods of time is not estranged. Communicating and visiting when they can is literally the opposite of estrangement.

Megan IS estranged from her family. Her father, the person who won $750,000 in a lottery then ended up trying to evade taxes 4 times, filed bankruptcy more than once, who admitted to getting payment from the press with staged photos and then lied about it and who has threatened Megan multiple times that he would continue selling her out if she did not communicate with her, essentially blackmailing her.

But yea, poor him. Megan should drop everything and run to his side. He is such an upstanding guy. Dad of the year.

Where did you get all this info,from the press ?

Where else do we get our information ? Unless I’m mistaken nobody on here knows Meghan Harry or Thomas Markle or has even met them ?

VioletSky Sat 28-May-22 17:31:20

We onky know ffor sure what has been directly said in interviews etc

imaround Sat 28-May-22 17:38:40

Well bankruptcy records are public records in the US. As are arrest records. Of which I could find NONE for Doria Ragland by the way.

It is a bit strange that when someone presents alternate information, a source is demanded. Yet "a source inside the palace" is accepted as fact. hmm

The hypocracy of it is mind boggling.

Thomas Markle himself said on camera he was blackmailing his daughter. He admitted to lying to Harry in an interview.

I would respect a person more if they just admitted they didn't like her because (insert a reason based in fact like she is an American, she is black, she is an actress) instead of this made up nonsense while overlooking the fact that Thomas Markle is himself a toxic person.

Anniebach Sat 28-May-22 17:39:33

I base my opinions of this couple by their own words and actions . The press told so many lies about Charles and Camilla
why should they now print truth

Smileless2012 Sat 28-May-22 17:43:37

There was plenty of made up nonsense during the Oprah interview and all of it came out of H & M's mouths.

Opinions. But they’ve never said her mother had been to prison for example they’ve never talked about being estranged from their family
