It's the last pic.

David and Summer Lalande. (He's an engineering manager at Spotify.)
He is one of the "oldest" and most active superfans on the live chat (and earlier in the comments section).

He loved to make a remark about his (French origin) name : Lalande (quite a common name in France).

I’m thinking of an expression…what is it? Oh, yes! “Like putting lipstick on a pig!”
No, even the scale of the panelling is wrong, it will all need to be cut down which is going to look weird since the ground floor room ceilings are so low. So she's spent a lot of money on panelling that neither fits the historic aesthetics of the chateau or practically actually fits the space .... it seems like a lot of money and headache .....

Once it's installed its also going to highlight the true crap collection of emmaüs furniture which populates that room ......

12 radiators leaking? What was the reason for the leaks? I sure hope there is not a saboteur in your midst!

Calling TH shifty because she's mixed race like Meghan Markle is something I would not like to see prevail here.

From Christmas 2014.
@Clara Burnett Does Amaury have a son? Chantal's photo says the child in this photo is her grandson ....



Amaury's brother Jonathan and his family in 2014.



Tattlers have never found anything about Jarvis side... Triangle des Bermudes !
I went down a long rabbit hole yesterday trying to find some! There's a family I think it might be, but I can not find enough of a connection!

So this begs the question ... did Derek have a falling out with his family? Did Isabelle not stay in touch with them after his death?

You know, there’s a reason why these large houses and properties required scores of servants and expense to keep them up. My first house was a small 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom bungalow built in 1941, about 950 sq. ft. The kitchen had 7 feet of countertop space! I renovated it from top to bottom and loved that house. So small and easy to care for. Then I moved to my current home, a much larger house, 3,500 sq ft., and renovated it. I love my current house, too, but there’s many times I really miss my first little house. It was definitely a lot simpler to clean and maintain…there’s truth to the phrase “live simply.”

Yes, you can click on the about page for youtubers and it shows their view numbers, she is over 40 million and rising. That's got to pay pretty well.

Below the belt to suggest that this remark is in anyway connected to either Tatyana or Meghan Markle being of mixed race. The remarks addressed characteristics and not race or ethnicity.
I agree with you @Belladonna1969, I think Tatty is shifty and to prevent any misunderstanding:

SHIFTY. adjective
INFORMAL

1.(of a person or their manner) appearing deceitful or evasive.
"he had a shifty look about him"
