Is this the best outcome?

Not as slow as you, it would seem.

Binglebee Thu 13-Apr-23 14:10:44

Bit slow on the names volva?

volver3 Thu 13-Apr-23 14:07:52

Does he?

Where's that then?

Smileless2012 Thu 13-Apr-23 14:05:52

He claims to be her spiritual guru volver.

The world has always wanted to know Harry had a frostbitten penis and such a shock - William has been circumcised

By making it all public and so widely publicised with books, tv appearances etc it has become everyone else’s business as never a day goes by when he’s not doing an interview, a pap walk, a bought award ceremony, moaning about his privileged life etc etc. Nobody knew just how awful he was but now we do. I will be glad when the coronation is over but he won’t disappear as he has so many court cases coming up. It’s never ending.

Could someone explain how Chopra is Meghan's "guru" please?

As far as I can see he appeared in a podcast once.

It couldn't be that somebody's making stuff up about them, could it?

Smileless2012 Thu 13-Apr-23 13:49:06

I saw that TerriBull and his suggestion that people mind their own business did make me laugh, as H in particular has made not just his, but his families business everyone's business by making it all publicgrin.

TerriBull Thu 13-Apr-23 13:42:19

Deepak Chopra, Meghan's "Spiritual Guru" is reported as saying that there is too much drama around H&M, although he didn't expand on why that could be. confused He did helpfully suggest that people should mind their own business. That's a clearly good idea and I rather think that would be easily done too, by not watching Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah, well unfortunately that ship sailed a while ago when we didn't know we were expected to mind our own business as far as they were concerned, but now we do, that could still be achieved by not watching their Neflix production or buying and reading Spare, plugging ears and covering eyes when the omnipresent Omid Scobie makes one of his frequent pronouncements on their ongoing thoughts about anything and everything which can be sooooo vexing when trying to mind one's own business.

Nobody there to hold his hand. 🥲

That’s a bit sad actually, Harry having to face it all alone.

As has been pointed out earlier, Meghan seems to be distancing herself from the Spare memoir and H’s latest interviews.

Mark my words, it will all be brought up in the future if their marriage goes belly up, and all H’s ramblings will be a good excuse for the divorce stating his mental health problems.

And a good reason for the children staying on in USA with mum.

Meghan will have it all worked out so that she is the injured 😢party.

Rachel. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Are people who post these kinds of things aware how childish and pathetic it makes them look?

Binglebee Thu 13-Apr-23 13:31:10

Rachel must have known royalty usurps soaps. She chose Harry above Suits.
Always plenty of drama llamas on these threads.

You cant possibly know they will regret not attending. There are not many things I can think of that I would find less appealing

I can see so many on here seated at a guillotine knitting and gossiping .I would have thought some of you were better than that but it appears not.
Whatever this couple have done it doesn't affect any of your lives and his reasons are for him to understand and deal with .
I'm not in any way a monarchist or a "fan" of royalty and I'd stand up for the right of any one who feels mistreated by family to have their say ...even publicly if that was how it needed to be .

This ^^

Whatever H&M decides has no impact on me. Staying home for child's Birthday is a logical choice, imo. Well done them.

Pooter Thu 13-Apr-23 12:58:24

He's a Prince of Royal blood. That usurps any soap opera considerations. He should attend.

His children will grow up to regret not attending (being excluded from) the coronation of their aged grandfather, so on that basis they too should attend.

Whether his wife attends by contrast is entirely up to her, and what she considers is the best thing given the not inconsiderable, wider circumstances

Oldbat1 Thu 13-Apr-23 12:49:05

Archie could have celebrated his birthday celebration anytime- he isn’t old enough for it to matter which day exactly. Birthdays are adult led at that age. Marching soldiers, horses, pomp would have had more meaning - alas not to be.

Anniebach Thu 13-Apr-23 12:48:54

As someone who grew up in a large extended family, 18 first cousins, I feel so sorry the two children will be estranged from
both parents families.

Ah, Vienna..🎶

Forsythia Thu 13-Apr-23 12:11:22

He’s American. It will mean nothing to him.

Charleygirl5 Thu 13-Apr-23 12:07:12

I think Archie will miss out, not seeing the soldiers marching, the beautiful carriages, the horses drawing them and the general excitement, pomp and circumstance that a 4 year old would love. That would be a fabulous birthday present. It is not the same watching it on TV, that is if he is allowed to watch.

. . . . If Princess Diana had stayed in the UK that Summer -
. . . . if she'd accepted Prince Charles and his mistress and just got on with the fact that her husband didn't love her and would always put his mistress before her, and before their children ...

You could "what if" until the end of time. Princess Diana wanted her life on her terms, as does Prince Harry.

I wouldn't call it "wanting life on her own terms" for Princess Diana not to accept that her husband had a mistress and didn't love her!!! How many women would accept that???

Often there are a number of contributors to an incident, theres a word for it? so you had drunk chauffeur, media chase, seat belts etc. If you remove any one of those things might have been different.

Love this, it’s so true. Reminds me of Hardy and his ideas on chance.
