Oh my days. La La land
What do you think animals think about sharing the planet with humans
A Swell Idea From ASDA To Deter Shoplifters!
The King has reportedly evicted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from Frogmore Cottage, their residence in Windsor. Buckingham Palace let the Duke and www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1740755/royal-family-meghan-markle-prince-harry-frogmore-cottage-king-charles of Susses know about the plan to take away the property from them just days after Harry's tell-all memoir, Spare, was published worldwide, it has been claimed.
Oh my days. La La land
Is there not a Republican among any of you …who cares about these awful immoral people!

Before you judge, listen to 'Harry, Meghan and the Media', a series of podcasts on BBC Sounds. The series is a real eye-opener.
Thank you for this. I will be listening today.

Harry and Meghan haven't quite been 'evicted' - they are not living there. I also read yesterday that their lease on the property expires in March and they had been considering whether to renew it. Why fund a house that you have used so rarely - it doesn't make sense. The usual silly hysteria and emotive language is flying about. I'm surprised we haven't had 'King kicks Harry and Meghan out onto the street, Meghan crawls away, sobbing'. Another non story from the media.
You are 100% correct.
The lease was up. It wasn't renewed. Nothing worth all this drama and speculation.
if true shows a rather cruel side to KC. Also surprised that he said to be unable to find time to talk to Harry before the coronation. I've always been royalist but not so sure any more. So many wrongs.
When did Charles say he didn’t have time to talk to H ?

I'd be impressed if H & M knew what 'the truth' means.
Charles the cruel that's so funny Kelfie and it didn't take much research to expose the lies that H & M have told.
In your opinion: bet you haven't read the book by PH hey! You calling his experiences has a child lies too?
As for other lies which ones are you questioning? Oh let me guess
1/ The racist remark. Proven true - the Queen said "Memories may vary" so clearly something was said. H himself said even he was unconsciously biased at one time.
2/ The wedding: like many do, they took their vows in private a few days before hand. That is also in print by the independent. Those for them are their real vows, whether you agree with that or not
3/ It is also proven its the other way round re Kate making Megan cry not as it was projected.
4/ Those are the main things said about RF: the rest is towards the royal staff and predominantly the media.
5/ Oh just to finish off re her paternal family: they sell stories to the media, especially her dad and you think the royals would let them have anything to do with them?
No one whatever you thinks your child has done goes on media slating there child off. Would you yours? If your answer is yes then that says so much about you.
6/ Oh believe me if you bothered to read H book in full context and not the sensational out of context headlines you would see how cruel Charles is.
Has for Camilla: nasty foul piece of work.
To the person who said are there no republicans here? Yes now the Queen has passed I am in that camp
I`m glad Charles has shown some sign that Harry`s behaviour is not acceptable to him. Hope he does something with the other unlived in piles that the are lying about - like donate them to English Heritage or National Trust.

Charles the cruel that's so funny Kelfie and it didn't take much research to expose the lies that H & M have told.
To add: Charles told both his sons their mom had passed by going into their bedrooms separately.
Telling them what had happened, then leaving the bedrooms. No cuddles, no nothing.
If that isn't cruel I don't know what you see is. This is in H book "Spare"
The Queen gifted The LEASE on Frogwell Cottage not the cottage itself, which is part of the Crown Estate and initially belongs to the state, who lease the properties out to the reigning monarch, in return the state retains any rent. The King has sensibly decided, that as they hardly ever visit, not to renew the lease when it runs out at the end of this month,but to alot it, with the permission of Parliament,to someone who will live there on a permanent basis. Bearing in mind, the taxpayer pays for the upkeep of Crown Properties through the sovereigns grant, an arrangement dating back to 1760, value for money would seem uppermost in this instance.
In the book - H was in school when his g grandmother died, he was told by telephone, he clearly remembers the weather, the view from the room, he just forgot he was on a skiing holiday with his father and brother that day.
They have shown total disrespect for their family and Great Britain ...how often do they visit ,so why should the place sit empty. The King is sorting the family out as far as I can see before his Coronation ...and why not,seems like a sensible thing to do.Especially financially.
As Harry lies so much Keffie12, to the point that the RF are a racist family,now retracted, how can we totally believe this version of events. Years ago, pre marriage Harry told us in an interview that Charles did his very best to be a good father to them, and that he told them both together of their mothers death as well as he was able and put his arm round both of them. He was seen holding Harry's hand when looking at the flowers outside K.P. I'm rather more inclined to believe this version of events than the post marriage one. Oh and this uncaring father did walk that poor lonely bride to the altar in the absence of her own ailing father. Strange that there was no other member of the RF who were able to step in, Prince Edward, Timothy Lawrence to name just two, but there you go.
Isn't it amazing that the story of a wealthy prince losing his London home gets everyone atwitter whilst the shocking number of evictions and levels of homelessness in the UK seem to draw little attention?
@keffie - actually some of what you say is not true.
Harry clarified that they suffer from unconscious bias, not racism in the interviews. I can see why he never named names, but also see why not naming them leads to much worse speculation. Events that happened around the time the Netflix series aired said a lot more than Harry ever did though.
They got married at the church. They did a vow run through in the back garden and now consider that when they got married. It is not unheard of that couples do this. Who knows when they celebrate their anniversary.
Yes, it is now being reported that Kate made Meghan cry. But they both had a part in the problem. It is actually sad that this story was even leaked (which is the real problem in all of this). Kate was post partum, Meghan was under huge levels of stress. It was inevitable that both women were emotional something blew up. This story should never have seen the light of day IMO.
Harry's main problem is the media and the briefing that went on from his family's team.
Charles came off better in the book than I expected. It was the circumstance of being the POW and being required to marry someone suitable that set this whole ball rolling. That is neither Charles' nor Camilla's fault. How it has been handled since they married is a different story.
The biggest problem in this entire saga is that this is happening because the tabloids make money off of the British public by selling these sensationalized half true stories. If people stopped buying/believing the crap and worry about more pressing issues, this never would have started in the first place (back in the 80's).
Participating in this by reading and commenting and speculating is a choice that every person makes for themselves. All one has to do to remove themselves is top stop reading, stop buying, just stop. Bonus, if that happened, Harry & Meghan would fade into the background and would be unable to make so much money.
I'm sorry to say keffie that an awful lot of what H says is patently untrue. False memories? Exaggeration? Over egging the pudding? Who knows.
But his truth is very often not the truth
Another report suggested that H&Ms children will not be given royal titles. If that's the case, how long do you think it will be before Harry (and even the children) are dumped by Megan? At times, I actually feel sorry for Harry. He was so desperate to have his own family unit, but it all seems to have gone sour.
There is no reason for them to be given titles. William’s children have titles because he’s heir to the throne. Meghan tried to suggest it was racism but it’s just how it’s done.
They do not need titles while growing up in the US. Nor does Harry need to be in the line of succession IMO.
But aren't they known officially Prince Archie and Princess Lillibet now because Charles is King? And Archie could have already used Harry's lesser titles.
I believe that William's children are the same. They have none of their own titles but use Prince and Princess due to their relationship to the King. I assume that they could use William's lesser titles as well?
I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
Evicts? More emotive language from the ‘popular press’ for their readers to lap up. Their tenancy is up and won’t be renewed.
The racist accusation was debunked by H Keffie; he's said that his family isn't racist. The suggestion that Archie was denied a particular title because he's mixed race; the title couldn't be given until Charles became king.
They said they were married 3 days before the wedding. Practising ones vows is not getting married. You'll have to direct me to the proof that Kate made Meghan cry, I haven't seen that.
In a previous interview, all be it sometime ago, H said he and William were together when they were told of their mother's death and Charles comforted them.
H claiming that he was at school when a member of the palace staff told him over the 'phone that his GGM had died; he was on holiday with Charles and William.
It's often said that the be a good liar one needs a good memory; H isn't a good liar, he claims things happened that didn't and were easily disproved.
The statement was that recollections may vary, not memories and that was in response to Oprah interview, not just the accusation of racism.
Whose slated their child to the media? Charles certainly hasn't done so.
As you say GSM, there's no reason why their children should be given titles and why on earth having shown such disdain to the RF, would they want them too?
keffie Is that you Meghan? 
Smileless, there is no proof that Kate made Meghan cry either to be fair. Just a tabloid story.
That has always been my issue with the reporting. Stories against Meghan by "palace sources" are taken at face value, but anything Meghan says need definitive proof. I believe NONE of them are telling the whole truth. Not Meghan and Harry, not the royal family and certainly not the tabloids.
Again, this whole wedding debacle should never have been made public in the first place. There is a reason why normal reasonable women end up being called Bridezillas just before they get married. I cant imagine what it was like to plan a wedding that would be watched by millions around the world while my father was getting paid by the tabloids and seeing designer dresses needing fixed.
Not easy to talk to someone who may well leak the content of your conversation to social media and/or feature it in their next book, unless you restrict it to discussing the weather.
Yes that's true imaround but am I right in thinking that Kate never said Meghan had made her cry but Meghan did say Kate had reduced her to tears?
