As the saying goes, you can tell a lot about a person from the company you keep…

here’s a story on some of Prince Harry’s close friends who are being accused of trying to gentrify Brixton while appropriating black culture.

We this guy at Harry's wedding? Or are we basing their friendship on some stories from 12 years ago?

He is white, he'll be all right. :rolleyes:


Although I'm not sure why she'd call them to photograph her looking like tit, or how do you say in Wokenese? ReLAtAbLE 😵
She doesn't think she looks like tit though. She thinks she looks great, but always looks like she needs a good scrub.

Lots of positive articles about William and Kate at the moment predictably
The photo of them Christmas tree shopping was uploaded on Sunday but only just been picked up now

Imagine driving past and just spotting William hugging some random woman with a fake horse 😂

(also this is such a good cause)

Things have definitely changed from QE's days, and not just the dress code. It's William that goes in for the hug first. Interestingly, although everyone remembers Diana as being touchy feely, Charles is too, if a bit less obviously. If you watch him talking to someone, he reaches out to touch their arm and ruffles the hair on children. Camilla too is happy to go into a hug if a child reaches out.

I can't imagine QE or PPhilip going in for a hug or a selfie.

I think this has been the big change between the two monarchs, the late Queen was from a different time, Charles seems much more “modern” despite being 75 he seems to be somewhat with the times. It’s the small things, the selfies, the hugging, nail polish etc they were never strictly protocol more just preference of the monarch that they all aligned with out of respect for HMQ, Charles seems to have loosened the rule book

They know what other people's lives are like to a certain extent. QE never knew a life outside the rarified circles of royalty and aristocracy. Even during the war, after days of driving and motor mechanics, she had to sleep at Windsor Castle for security. As a navy wife in Malta, she was living in comfort without having to cook, clean or attend to her children. It's not surprising that Philip was the moderniser, kicking out at the courtiers.

Charles was sent to school both in Scotland and Australia, then served as a Royal Navy officer, eventually commanding his own ship. He was well respected, and Anne used to just turn up to see him in port without any fanfare. Anne, of course, mixed with other competitors during her riding career; apparently she was just as low key at home, being known to the local playgroup as "Peter and Zara's mummy". Camilla led the life of an upper middle class officer's wife, with connections obviously, but also dealing with everyday life. William had school, Operation Raleigh, gap year projects, university and the army and RAF, then Kate and her family; Diana also made sure that he understood what life was like the bottom too, taking him and Harry to homeless shelters when they were quite young.

So the upbringing of royals since Charles is pretty different from that of HLM, who was educated at home and even had a Buckingham Palace guide troop and Brownie pack created for her and Margaret. It's still radically different from the lives of the rest of us but they do have more of an idea of life beyond the palace walls.

Why was he just walking down the street btw. He doesn’t look as though he has security either

Is it possible the skin tone conversation, if it did involve Kate, was something less than what they were making it out to be? Maybe she was generally curious what complexion Archie would have considering Harry is a red headed kid and Meghan has a beautiful darker complexion. Meghan just went and made it about race

Looks staged to me
Of course it is? He was there to specifically meet her. Nothing spontaneous about it. That’s Wiliam at work, not just aimlessly wandering down the street. I don’t know why anyone would assume otherwise. The way he goes about it is what makes the difference that was discussed. And his security was there - just out of shot.

Kate looked stunning in the carol concert. Nice to see Wolf, Beatrice’s step son join them.

Exactly! There’s a difference between staged and planned.

Yeah it was planned not staged. It’s like when the press say they paid a “surprise” visit, no, they didn’t just randomly turn up somewhere, they just didn’t inform you they were going 😂😂😂

I had to laugh when watching River yesterday when he twisted Charles giving Meghan a diamond bracelet into her being abused. All with the Meghan whiny face tick-off ........and voice. 😂
