I have held a grudge for over 50 years.
Yes. Thank you. We’re just fueling the conspiraciesFinding the Catherine’s hair chat draining . It doesn’t matter, it’s feeding the haters
As long as it's the Swiss/Belgian/French variety!Not true. We love everything chocolate.
Notice how in the video none of the parents seem to engage with Meghan as I don't see any of them interacting with her which tells me that none of them were impressed by her visit as everybody looks very uncomfortable.He looks like he's on some strong meds. I don't understand the point of the visit. Also she should have gone to their rooms and discreetly moved on from the children who didn't want visits from PR hungry strangers.
that poor kid looks so unhappy to be taking the photo
I don't think anyone doubted the image just because we don't think Meg does 're-wear'. Given she cannot even iron her clothes properly and never has anything tailored, it is highly unlikely that she would have had this particular outfit reduced in size to fit her current skinny self as, if I recall, in the Windsor photo her backside was huge so if it was a re-wear, it would be falling off her.
Do you know what, there was a very similar relationship between John Lennon and his mother, which he talked about in interviews and was explored in Nowhere Boy.There's a weird bit in Spare (the whole book is weird)...
Harry has decided that he needs to cry over his mother's death...
Quite why he has decided this, isn't clear, as he has only just broken up with Cressida - seemingly due to her saying something about Diana, which made him cry.... ????
Anywho....
He goes to a therapist...
And after a typical paranoid episode in which he imagines the people walking past in the street are going to run to the British Press and expose him as character in a Woody Allen film, they get down to business.
Eventually the therapist - probably having lost the will to live - suggests he use the smell of his mother's perfume to unlock his emotions...
(Press F to doubt, as this is Harry again using this book to reset the narrative - in this case about the first date with il Duce)
Anywho....
He goes off and he buys the perfume and and starts sniffing it....
And apparently it reminds him of being in bed with his mother and kissing her soft neck.
?????
I know its an oft quoted bit of the book but still....
That’d be greatThey are setting it up for him to not come over
Oh please leave them the Transylvanian farmhouse ! Imagine ILBW’s face, she’d go absolutely fucking postal … and doesn’t Charles have a private Welsh retreat that has no internet access or even a tv , bung then that in the will too, they’ll love it!Belated thanks for the new thread and title.

Don't we already know? Isn't it the private properties that are subject to the Inheritance Tax arrangement?
I think only William, as Monarch, can inherit them with no tax liability. If KC3 were to divide them up between him and Haz then the latter would be subject to a very hefty tax bill. There won't be much 'inheritance' via use of the Flatpacks either. Same rules apply. It's up to the Monarch to hand out the personal bequests, and wasn't Andrew lamenting his lack of a handout from KC3 after TLQ's death?
KC3 can't give Haz Highgrove or any of the Duchy properties. IIRC the country estate he was planning to gift them as a wedding present could only have been a lease because it was Duchy land. Clarence House would fall under the Crown Estate and KC3 could only give Hazbeen a lease on it which William could always terminate.
I suppose there's always KC3's rustic farmhouse in Transylvania. Despite all this "Orchard" crap Smeg would probably be absolutely horrified if Haz inherited that.
