Meghan and Sarah would make good friends. A lot in common there. Sarah could be a sort of common Auntie figure because Meghan has no other family she is on good terms with.

That was tongue in cheek, wasn’t it.
I now Australia is a long long way away but surely the information Re Sarah Ferguson and her relationship with Epstein reached your shores 🤷‍♀️

Oh no we never hear anything . We are backward savages who should keep to ourselves.

On the contrary nanna - you managed to nab Meghan onto a TV show before we did!

P.S. - Did you know we have a new-ish King? Or has the news not yet reached you out there in the bush eating your wattleseeds and frolicking with the koalas? wink grin

Frolicking with koalas? 😲

🐨 they look sweet, don't they
Have you seen their claws and teeth!?

Yes, I do know that koalas aren't cuddly little bears. It was an attempt at irony given the context of my comment.

But never mind.

JenniRen Sun 30-Aug-26 10:42:36

Oh dear, I realised that and it was a joke.

But never mind.

"Sources close to Harry" ie friends MarieElla presumably with his blessing which just shows how thick he really is.

Prince Philip was not a redhead. He was very blonde

His beard was reddish, though.

Are you basing that on The Crown?
How many of us would have seen him in person unshaven and sporting a beard?
Even if it was a photograph, they were black and white back then!

He did have a red beard, unless a 1957 Paris Match cover was a fake, which seems pretty unlikely.

There were other reports that said Philip's beard was red.

The red haired gene is recessive so a child would need to inherit the gene from both parents to have red hair.
The Spencer trait is obvious, the one from Charles not obvious as his hair is dark therefore he must carry a recessive gene.

As is the case in many families.

hollysteers Sun 30-Aug-26 12:39:41

Colour change (not by me).
I can see Charles here in Harry for the first time.

JenniRen Sun 30-Aug-26 12:43:03

I've always thought he looked like Charles but with the Spencer red hair, helped along by Charles's recessive gene!

Charles and Diana both blue-eyed, as are Harry and William.

hollysteers Sun 30-Aug-26 12:58:23

Although not related, Harry and Meghan have, to me, exactly the same nose!😁

JenniRen Sun 30-Aug-26 12:59:05

Likes attract!

JamesandJon33 Sun 30-Aug-26 13:02:39

Charles, Harry and the late Queen have this slightly too close together eyes.

It’s being reported that Sarah Ferguson is also returning to the UK.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce8xn9ge6xeo

I didn't know she'd left.
I knew she'd been lobbed out of the mansion she previously had shared with Andrew but I didn't realise she'd left the country.
Playing possum until the trouble died down.........

Possum? Another marsupial enters the discussion!

The trouble is once in a blue moon they are right. I remember fir example thinking Brittany's fans were absolutely bonkers, for years and years they were saying she was being controlled. They were right.

What a sensible answer! 😀

The koalas bite,though. Possums visit us every night and we have a dance together whilst they destroy my crops. We have an echidna, too but he doesn’t speak Strine. Is that King Henry 1X with Queen Meanham? The wattles are off this year, we have resorted to mangos. We have applied for a tv but they don’t have licenses here so we rely on our didgeridoos.

The controversial Lady Colin Campbell has reported that Harry has fallen in lurve with another woman, who also is in lurve with him! Meghan apparently found texts on his phone.

She might have gone too far this time…

JenniRen Mon 31-Aug-26 10:31:41

Whatever next!

Let us know when you hear anything nanna8, send me a message stick.

Usedtobeblonde Mon 31-Aug-26 11:02:46

I occasionally see Lady Colin Campbell in clips on Facebook.
She is as mad as a box of frogs and you really can’t believe anything she spouts.

MissAdventure Mon 31-Aug-26 11:07:38

She's a horrible old attention seeking ratbag.

Possum? Another marsupial enters the discussion!

Hope that was correctly used of the Australian Possum , which , possibly , behaves differently ?? Perhaps a little more robust in its approach like the much-beloved occupants of the Australian continent......🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
"The idiom comes from the real-life behavior of the North American opossum.When threatened by a predator, the opossum falls into an involuntary, death-like faint.People have used the phrase since the early 1800s to describe people acting lifeless or clueless to trick other........"

I can't imagine that anybody who is a friend of Harry's would give this woman any information to know this. She has been so vitriolic about him. I think she is just loving the publicity she generates.

Someone who is right 1% of the time should not be given as much credence as the person who is wrong 1% of the time.

I saw her on Utube. Good comedy, laughed all the way through it. From her hospital bed, too. Not that I would wish the poor little love ill. The Harry and another woman bit is getting a fair bit of airtime ,though. Don’t all the royals play the field, though ? Just normal for that sort of person.

NotSpaghetti Mon 31-Aug-26 13:30:14

.. and lots of "ordinary" people too, nanna8
