I'm loving all the sugars losing their tit on twitter because there's no pictures of Archie. It's like me kicking off because they've not released pictures of me and Philip chilling over a banger. You can’t do something if it never happened

Yup this is exactly what I was expecting.
A) He wasn't born then
B) The whole family didn't meet up with Archie there in the 4 months he was in the UK before his parents buggered off. Because his parents didn't want to do anything as "boring" as spending a couple of weeks in the Scottish Highlands (aka one of the most beautiful places on Earth) They preferred to hang out on the Med.
C) Kate wasn't going to post any picture she had with her kids and Archie for fear of being called evil or racist for using a picture of Meghan's child without her permission.
D) Why should the BRF include a picture of Archie when Meghan and Harry have made it clear they view the family as toxic etc?
E) Various media sources have run the pic of Archie with PP in recent days and they can't produce another one that probably never happened.
F) They wanted as many great grandchildren in the photo as possible because it's about HMTQ and PP not Archie.

I agree and think he should stay for her birthday - IMO it would be rude not to. There are discussions to be held with his family before he returns to Megarot.
I kind of don't understand why people suddenly have started bandying around the term mysogynist. It was never used on social media etc until 2016 when Trump came to power. I doubt many people even know what the term means or when to use it. Trump has gone now so why still use it? I guess I am just fed up with that narrative in general. What is wrong with the term sexist or non PC. Just some musings from me sorry...
OI! Are you in my head? I agree totally and posted as much. I really don't understand people dreaming of a healing in the rift. Publicly yes, personally? Not a snowball's chance in hell.
We need to remember that the interview was only thier latest dirty stunt.
The list prior to that is too long to type out and it began pre wedding.
The cunts are out and staying out.
Well said
For Eugenie, with friends like MM who needs enemies.
Given the soap drama that is her parents lives & marriage, Eugenie & Beatrice have likely developed well honed diplomatic skills & deep forbearance. As pointed out, E&B will be stringent in avoiding any ad hoc engagement with the press & looks like they are already good at this.
Hazza is likely at Frogmore, maybe Eugenia & her family are elsewhere, say her parent’s house or Windsor Castle.
Not unheard of for a new mum & family to go stay with her parents.
That makes sense to me. If you listen to Andrew’s speech about his father I thought he was trying to emphasise he was in the ‘inner sanctum’ crowd (as opposed to JCMH)A discussion is taking place on Quora about PA demanding to wear an Admiral uniform at the funeral. An insider says it is because PA doesn’t want to be the only one in a plain suit besides loser Harry.
Benjamin Smallbrook has written:
“Andrew has surfaced in the run-up to Philip’s funeral. He is demanding that he be allowed to wear the uniform of an Admiral. This is a rank he has never held in his life! The ‘leak’ that is coming from the Palace is that Andrew doesn’t want to be seen wearing just a morning suit, like Harry, because he sees Harry as ‘an idiot who has let the side down’. What makes it all the more difficult for Andrew to cope with, is knowing that Charles, William, and Anne and even Edward will all be in military dress.”
I really think you are reading too much in it , Charlotte has a very out going personality and I very much doubt she is she is acting like a spoilt child , She is a kid being a kid as is George , He is quite shy but I think he will grow out of it eventully , Maybe Kate & Will are letting thier kids actully be kids
I doubt they will discuss his situation. This time is about supporting The Queen in her loss. I would imagine that if there are going to be any discussions they will be held at a later date. The media seems to think the fact that William and Harry will have to walk side by side at the funeral is some magic formula for healing the rift. I think that is extremely unlikely. Too much has been said for reconciliation to be that easy and The Oprah interview lobbed a grenade into an already fraught situation.
I think Harry will attend the funeral, everyone will be icily polite and he will return to the States asap. What happens next is anyone’s guess at this point. Will he and Meghan dig themselves in deeper or will they change their approach?

Nah, I don't think so. William and Catherine will make sure that doesn't happen. I feel like they'll have a great sibling relationship like Price Charles and Princess Anne do, obviously extended to 3 children.
I think you're right. The media are just writing about The Big Rift because it's easy clickbait after everything that's happened in the last month. The bit about Kate being peacemaker just came from Camilla T saying Kate used to be close to Harry and doesn't like conflict very much. I don't expect much forward momentum but 1 million articles analysing their every facial expression and the length of Harry's stay.
How they play everything going forward is anyone's guess. I think it depends on the mood a few weeks after the funeral and what happens with their daughter's birth.
The thing I love about the photo with the 7 grandchildren is how natural the Queen looks holding Louis. She's clearly a woman with a lot of experience holding babies. Contrast that with Megain trying to hold on to Archie as she read a story.
Also I think it's far more likely that Charlotte has middle child syndrome rather than spare heir syndrome. I seriously doubt that she knows what an heir is, let alone that she's the spare one.
Evidence of misogyny goes back centuries but perhaps you're not a history fan.
The vast majority of people are aware of it. Particularly women, many of whom have suffered it or at least know of women who have.
It doesn't compare with 'sexist' or 'non PC' because it's about hatred. And it has absolutely nothing to do with Trump.

That's odd. I quite clearly remember using the term misogyny back in the 1970's. And the 80's/90's etc. It's pretty much been in constant use since the 1950's when hatred towards women began to be remarked upon. In fact there's a whole academic genre devoted to it.

I really dont understand how someone could look at that photo and declare it racist? I mean, Archie wasnt even THERE...
I dont think Charlotte is being naughty in that photo, she's looking at her mummy?

I am of the female sex, I've known what misogynistic means since I was 9, male power, over female bodies and the assumption that females are just there to gratify men. I don't think that I'll stop using the term misogynistic anytime soon.
now that the RF has posted a picture of all the great grandchildren, will the harkles use this opportunity to inch their way back into the family? Maybe ask for an invite to Balmoral for the holidays?
or will their narrative change from "the UK media and people are so TOXIC" --> "nobody in the family wants us in the UK so we left"

I actually appreciate the fact that they don’t force Princess Charlotte into contrived and coy roles. She’s clearly a feisty and expressive child, allowed both tantrums and exuberance. And both parents seem to tend to her carefully and equally.
That's true, I hadn't really intended to imply that's where she's at right now - you're right that she's likely too young to know or care about the spare issue. More a concern (and a very mild one, because there's a lot of time and events between now and Charlotte being grown up) that if she is indulged now, it could lead to actual problems similar to Andrew and Harry when she is aware that she is the spare.
I'm still catching up but I am not reading anything into the BBQ comments. Philip seemed like a family man as well as being Royal. The Greeks are big on family & BBQ's, I know, I was married to one.Ex FIL was terrible, he'd regularly take his eye off the sausages and I'd have to rescue them while he was too busy claiming his was the best BBQ we'd ever have. Funny days.
Because he currently exists and is part African American and he wasn't in the photo. It doesn't matter that he wasn't even born at the time. From a Sugar POV they should have used a photo that included him or not released one at all. No matter that Lucas Tindall and August Brooksbank weren't there either. Because they weren't born yet. Because Archie and his mother are the most important people ever in the BRF.
Never mind that a photo of all the Great Grandkids including Archie probably doesn't exist because his parents flounced when he was 4 months old and he has never come back and they made it clear they were more interested in partying with celebs than spending time with his family in the peace of Balmoral.
Never mind that if Kate had released a photo of Archie with her kids that might exist Kate would be accused of using a biracial woman's baby to gain attention or something. And Meghan would have called up Gayle to say she never gave permission and Kate made her cry again.
