Harry and Meghan #84 Haz should've listened to Auntie Anne, kept his balls to stay a man.

[Hoohumm]

Are titles given in an official royal ceremony like when they knight people? Or does the Queen just sign a paper and that is it?

I actually agree with a law that would require any prince/Princess to live and be educated in the UK. How can you expect to be Prince of somewhere but don’t even know the history, language and culture of the place? Harry’s kids won’t know Buckingham Palace from Westminster.

As it stand unless Queen Elizabeth changes letters patent again, which I think she would have done already, when Charles becomes King they legally become Prince and Princess like Louise and James Wessex. They are styled as children of an Earl because their parents knew they would never become working royals. I imagine Charles thought Harry and whoever his wife would be would be sensible like this and style any children as children of a Duke. Meghan will obviously not do this. Even Sophie has said when her kids are 18 they can choose themselves to be styled as a Princess and a Prince but she can't see it happening.

There is sometimes a ceremony when the Prince of Wales title is bestowed upon the Duke of Cornwall of the time as that is not automatic and granted by the monarch. Edward VIII and Charles both had these in Wales

The lack of baby merching is very suspect. I really thought mummy merching would be her thing

Boden is mentioned, why isn't he in designer tit? It doesn't fit at all.

I hope that William has a wonderful ceremony when he becomes the Prince of Wales. I want it to be full of pomp and prestige with all the bells and whistles just to stick that up to his brother and his ungrateful wife (or better yet ex-wife). A big fat F@@@ you.

Is there anything new in the book? It got rather bad reviews I saw for just recycling tabloid stuff. Is that the case or has she included tea we wouldn’t have read in the papers or online?

There's no juicy tea BUT she does make a point of pointing out what she's NOT prepared to say for legal reasons, there is a whole chapter on the bump 'rumours' which is pretty in depth. It defo worth a quid. (I paid more and didn't feel ripped off!)

EDIT There actually is some juicy tit about Diana, Ms political ambitions but the bit that made me go WHAA! was the attempted influencing of what she was writing, someone tried to convince her that Thomas interfered with Meghan, Lady C was having none of it.

 

[Wightgirl]

Not sure which social media the sometime weatherman has quit but his twitter is still active snd he posted on IG last night. Another drama queen flouncer

Totally agree about the royal ‘experts’. Every story I click on the title suggests fact the story suggests possibility based on someone’s opinion. So annoying!!

 

[AudreyAnn]

This is juicy

Old MM will fit right in with the Swampy Politics in the US. ..... Quickly adds UK Politics often as swampy !

I don't agree that the Duchess of Cambridge is the little woman, just hiding in the background, she has chosen her role in life, to maintain and support William, she and her solid family background has given William "the family he's never had" she has come out of the shadows in this pandemic. She will prove her worth over and over again, yes, she's a SAHM, to a future King. Wasn't that what Feminism was supposed to be about? Choosing the role in life that's best for you. Standing in solidarity with other women, whatever their choice in life. thats my feminism.
Obviously except for Meghan, she's definitely what Freda says.

Also, wasn't it reported when they were engaged somebody said " your a very lucky girl" (words to that effect). She instantly retorted, "Yes, and he's a very lucky man!"

All the networks except for Fox (I think) have seen their rankings slide to the gutter after Trump. If they think a weather man from the UK is the remedy well then they might be throwing S*** to the wall and see what sticks.

Apparently he caught Orca's eye and she would do anything to take a dig at Piers, look what he's done to her PR stunt with MM and JCMH , hardly was an interview was it ? Piers taken it apart and he's still going strong. I bet she thinks she's levelling a blow at Piers by encouraging Weather man's US career! Wouldn't it be funny from here on in he's know as the Weatherman!!

 

[spangly]

I would be thrilled if the Weatherman went and worked for a US network- he's a bit bland and rather vain!

 

[MollyMooo]

She will try to but it won't fly. The financial backing alone would be astronomical with no guarantee of success. I definitely think it is a dream of hers and she'd have financed it for a good part herself, from merching the Royal family. They were meant to be raking in cash from their schemes and banking it (possibly for her political career) while Charles and the tax payers funded their security and their holibobs bobbing around the world on behalf of Brenda with all expenses paid by the bottomless royal purse. Brenda buggered up their plans every which way and that's what is drivinng smeggy crazy about it all. It wasn't meant to be like this and they are struggling as only millionaires can struggle. bleeping twats. But smeggy wants into politics. She wants it bad.
Another obstacle might be the fragrant kamala. Posting flowery tributes to the escaped ex royals is one thing, but kamala won't be handing over her female-biracial political crown to an intruder who hasn't earned her stripes. She'll feign support but will make sure smeggy knows her place and stays in her box.

I actually think she will enter the political arena. I might be completely wrong but I think she has got the backing of some powerful people in the shadows. Without a doubt you have to have an enormous pot of to run a campaign, far more than they have. It wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a lot going on in the background that’s giving her so much confidence.

@hehehe

Not one single person has said, suggested or implied that they “don’t care about slavery” & I find it repugnant and self-serving that you would claim that.

That you lack any historical knowledge & a full understanding of the horrific suffering of others for the past 2000 years is your problem, please don’t make it ours. Thanks.

 

[Baguette]

Do I think Our Megzy is delusional enough to think she can waltz into a Senate seat and then run for President? Yes, absolutely. Maybe she thinks the political buzz is a good smokescreen for failure to deliver anything in the past year other than smoke-and-mirror deals. So it seems plausible that she is shouting at her team to put out PR, arrange meetings and attempt to network. But is it going to happen? Not in a million years.

She will be tolerated, used for free publicity and novelty value but treated as a joke figure. Not serious. There's a long, long list of qualified, vetted women who have spent years building political contacts in the right way.

Megzy doesn't have her own money, has a track record of seriously bad manners, has fallen out with pretty much all of her family, ghosted most of her friends and forced her husband to abandon his elderly parents and grandparents. Oh and she has publicly picked a fight with the UK Head of State and is under investigation for bullying young women. And that's before you add in the sketchy relationship history, rumoured s*x tape, prime-time Oprah interview serving up lies to the American people, and her close friendship with Steve Mnuchin, Trump's Secretary to the Treasury...

 

[Nuttynana]

I do hope the truth does come out about "non pregnancies" let's face it she has told so many lies who will ever know the truth. The weatherman working for the blob with the gob will be laughable, it's all a pr stunt because he is another woke scalp and not a good one just hope he is consumed by a very large puddle . Wonder how popular Piers will be in Us a after his interview tonight especially since American tv stations are pro She Devil, still I suppose it distracts from the current problems at home, I am a bit shocked at their attitudes and don't know if it's ignorance of stupidty.

This pair are a walking disaster waiting to happen and when they crash I bloody hope it will be hard and painful. Wihinefree has made herself an object of ridicule and the King thing is one bad joke just a less than mediocre talk show host all white teeth, wigs and no substance and very little brain, mind you she has a huge chip on her shoulders to carry, no dignity, no respect just a big blabbermouth. I

Will wait until Dolly 2 arrived for the big announcement and the "c" section performed by Whinefrey and Kingy thingy while they argue about how much to auction the placenta for. Shallow, ignorant wannabes the lot of them

 

[liar liar]

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question. I think I understand you better now - you would like to see Kate challenge the stereotypes of women that are common in our society. I think in her own quietly dignified way she is doing that, and because she has made the effort to develop real expertise in certain fields, she is far more than just a figurehead spouting other people's words. The problem is that the alternative so often looks like Meghan Markle - gobbing off about her feminist credentials, making no effort beyond the trite and superficial and believing that challenging stereotypes means bullying people and dumping on everything that has gone before.

Strangely enough, I think the women in the Royal family are the actual strength - you have HM, Princess Anne who eschewed royal titles for her kids, you have Kate who has quietly taken-up causes she believes in in an inclusive way. She is particularly drawn towards children and their needs and is very well-informed. Then there is Sophie, whom the Queen is relying on more now that her children are older. They don't seek glory for themselves but I do believe they are feminists.

Where is this child now?

 

[DarnIt]

A friend has told me that Lady Cs book on H&M is 99p on Kindle at the moment if anyone is interested.


I agree, but I also think she has heard Charles plan for streamlining the Monarchy which would likely mean the kids wouldn't be Prince and Princess.

Never mind ‘heard‘, I think she has now been told in no uncertain terms.

 

[Rowan]

Note how Smegs has all but disappeared since the Oprah interview?
I wonder why?
Perhaps she can be bothered with the pretending to be pregnant show this time or is aware of how unpopular the interview has made her and us hiding out...

Well said liar liar, I think all the women in r f are strong women and have the last word so much dignity and quiet about it it's a shame these ignorant be-wigged mouthpieces don't adopt some of this, they really need a lesson in diplomacy and tact still, you can't polish a turd.

 

[DarnIt]

Erm ... Am I in the wrong thread, or even on the wrong forum? I just popped in here for a quick update on the Dopey Duo expecting just that and possibly a giggle or two. I didn't expect a history lesson about the horrors of years ago, that has nothing to do with H&M.

Anyway, so for anyone interested on the upcoming Piers interview about Harry and Meghan, there's only less than eight hours to wait. I'm going to try to get the app or link to work so if it's successful I'll post updates.

I see, but point out that unless we learn from history we are doomed to repeat the monstrous regimes of yore.

H&M(bandwagonistas) are thought lite & deeply craven so spout knee-jerk poorly informed slogans to advance their own interests only.
That we can briefly debate & explore the inconsistencies & spurious logic of their spiel is surely a good thing?
H&M are back on screen swiftly enough.

All the networks except for Fox (I think) have seen their rankings slide to the gutter after Trump. If they think a weather man from the UK is the remedy well then they might be throwing S*** to the wall and see what sticks.

The British accent will have transient novelty value & he is prepared to strip if essential to the character & plot.

That was still happening in the 70's in Manchester
Source. My dad was posted there on detached duty from his civil service job. The worst three weeks of his life. Treated like shite, refused service often, deliberately held at the airport for extra screening so he missed his flights both times.
Some people are just ignorant sheep. What can ya do eh? *shrugs*

So anyhoo, does anyone actually believe there will be a home birth in montecito? Seriously?
As someone pointed out upthread, they did that Time Out thing during the archiedoll production. I think they even had a "Babymoon" somewhere exotic. Oh hang on, that's another word we can't use cos it's offensive, but I think I got away with that.
They're nothing if not predictable. The only time we buggered up was thinking the Orca chat would be anodyne shite. Yeah, many of us called that one wrong. On the plus side it's all been debunked and Orca looks like a doofus for buying into their crap, so not such a bad result.

The sectarian divide is deeply entrenched still on UK mainland.
When my mother was a child, on Orange marching days the children had to be escorted to school as their uniform would mark them as targets.
