I was watching an ex serviceman yesterday who used to work for the Queen and he said when they split the RF will discredit Megs to get the children.
That’s outdated from when the monarch used to ‘own’ any royal grandchildren. If they do split Meghan will get access or primary custody - it’s not guaranteed that Harry will automatically gain full custody.

…a bit more than a friend.
He runs an agency specialising in brand management,
The guy is also a photographer which I found interesting given that the photos didn’t really come from the official source as I’d understand it? I.e they weren’t posted by the Sussex instagram or whatever other social media they use and then credited him on the side. It seems that some news channels did get their photos from the Sussexes but it could also just be the way they worded the headlines

He seems very successful and has been involved in photographing BLM and is apparently a social activist. He’s also black and seems to be in a relationship with a white woman (I may be wrong here given I scrolled through his IG), so there’s that in common between them too

It’s almost like a nice little promotion for the guy, as most of the time people don’t pay attention to photographers, and Meghan and Harry pointing to someone whose work they probably admire as people are bound to Google him and see what he does. It’s generally a nice little nod to these sort of people without being too ‘performative’ themselves and it really works imo

Thanks for your input. I have You Tube on in the background whilst working at home and I have also heard that Megs is all about the money. Also that there are things you can't do with Royalty such as exploit them for money, so she wouldn't be able to merch the children.
So interesting to see what does happen if they split ,🤔

Meghan isn’t the first to exploit them for money and she won’t be the last. I would maybe start watching/listening to Youtubers that aren’t always his against Meghan because you get a very skewed view of things.

People don’t talk much about how Kate got into the Royal family. Doubt money was the driving factors but the status definitely was 🤷🏼‍♀️

The RF seems like they prefer to have open relationships where everyone has affairs than get divorced anyway

It would be good if he had talent though. The photographs technically were poor and even from a purely having a quick glance and knowing nothing about photography didn't look good. Performative is the word yes.

How were they technically poor?

Whatever your personal opinions of his photography, the move made by H&M is far less performative than them sharing something, making a speech or meeting some people. It’s giving their audience to the person who does the speaking directly by having him share those photos and ensuring traffic to his IG

The royal family have no right to any moral standing anymore. A family just as toxic and messed up as most out there.
Multiple adulterers, connections to multiple pedalos and the sweeping under the carpet of the Andrew sexual accusations and legal proceedings/pay off, the queens cousins who were put into an instutition, everyone was told they were dead but they weren't and they were cut off from the family and buried in paupers graves when they did pass. And probably many more skeletons in the closet

Allegedly the coat was meant to be lilac but it looked white on the TV. I agree with everything you said. Kate’s a white because she married and had children with a man (a man who had had several rumours of affairs), Meghan is photographed doing the ‘sssh’ hand motion to the children and it’s allegedly because she was telling them not to reveal that she had arrived or whatever nonsense those die hard anti Meghan fans were spouting.
I have very little interest in the royal family. I have paid a bit of interest over the bank holiday and have read a few threads on here - but other than that, I don’t pay them much attention.
I do find the talk of a William having affairs quite ridiculous though. Not because I don’t think he is incapable of it (I have no idea if he is or isn’t), but there is no evidence of it at all.
I would be surprised if he did, as he has so much to lose as the future king (the majority of the public would turn against him) and it would be near impossible for him to be discrete about any affairs.

It became common knowledge that Charlie’s was involved with Camilla within a few years of his marriage, and whilst feelings have warmed recently towards Camilla, they were generally despised for decades. Many people still say now, that they don’t want him to be king because of it.
There was plenty of evidence of his relationship with Camilla pretty early on, almost impossible for him to hide it really.
There is no evidence to support William having affairs. I can only put it down to daft rumour and nothing more.

Like you have no idea - but it honestly wouldn’t surprise me.
Charles and Camilla were mainly known about because of Diana and the random ‘sources’ and the playing off of one side against the other. Not the most edifying period.
What usually happens is that an omertà comes into play. People know, but no one says, things are facilitated quietly and without fuss and everyone plays dumb.
It’s amazing what they can keep out of the press with a bit of feel good exclusive PR.
not a clue, but I wouldn’t discount it out of hand on the basis ‘we’ don’t know.

I wonder what people think about the secret cousins mentioned above. Apparently it was common practice to do a similar thing during the time period if you were of a higher, so it makes sense on that point. Though they really should have acknowledged said cousins once it wasn’t as socially acceptable to do that, it would have probably caused outrage based on it being kept a secret. The whole situation seems a bit messy based on that for me

I do think that i would like for the RF to be a bit of a driving force for social change at times, when it’s appropriate, but that seems like a tricky business and potentially connected to politics. But then, since the RF is involved in politics to an extent and the majority of it is apparently kept secret, there should at least be transparency with that sort of stuff

I thought the cousins mentioned were the Queen mother's relatives, but its been a while. Did they appear in the Crown? Little Prince John(?) made me quite sad too, I think this was fairly "normal" practice back in the day. Very glad its changed. I think even during my parents lifetime they had relatives who were hidden away.

So based on YouTube, you assume that someone you don't know and haven't met wants to merch her children for money, even though we have seen 2 or 3 photos of them, and as far as I can see, they are almost obsessively private about them?

They were the Queen Mum’s nieces - her brother’s children - I think. Didn’t she say something like it was a Bowes-Lyon issue?
I the The Crown used artistic license and had Princess Margaret going to see them, which appears not to have happened in reality.

From what I’ve read about Prince John, he actually seems to have been very loved and cared for … Queen Mary especially.

It may have been because it could have stopped the family marrying into other families if they had certain health problems or disabilities.
There was one aristocratic family that no one wanted to marry into due to mental health problems but I can't remember the name.

Yes, they did appear to be fond of him and yes I've read that about Queen Mary. There was a great documentary on him, I'm sure you've seen it.
Interesting re the Crown and artistic licence, I wish they wouldn't do stuff like that. A bit like Shakespeare and the tudor myth isn't it.

I don't assume anything. Just listen to all the speculation and opinions. That's why I'm on Tattle. I have heard they're not allowed to merch the children but who knows unless we had a Tattle mole insider. 😁
