Image of Harry chewing his nails down to the quick! He really wants to go to the Netherlands! Come on Baby Sussex! I know it's nice and comfy where you are, but the expense accounts of some foreign media for food, drink and sundries are probably causing their bosses heartburn. (There is a large contingent of Aussie media there in Windsor as well!)
Should Baby Sussex make his/her entrance really close to next Wed./Thurs. I am sure that the NL Invictus team will understand. :)
I wonder if the baby is due the week after next? If Harry will be gone most of the week. I guess he can always return if he needs too. I'm sure they have it all worked out! The BRF is efficient if anything. :hehe:
Apparently the trip has changed to in/out in 1 day

Prince Harry has decided to postpone part of his trip to the Netherlands. He will no longer be visiting Amsterdam on Wednesday.
He will still attend the launch of the Invictus Games The Hague 2020 on Thursday. He will fly in & out the same day.
Prince Harry is still expected to meet with Princess Margriet of the Netherlands (King William-Alexander?s aunt) on Thursday, when she joins him for the launch.
Princess Margriet was named honorary chair of the Invictus Games The Hague 2020 committee last week.

@dianab-There are reports that it is due to a "logistical problem" as the PoW and DssoC are headed to Germany that week. (Not sure how it affects Harry's trip but these are the claims.)
The Duke of Sussex?s visit to Amsterdam postponed ? Royal Central (http://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/harryandmeghan/the-duke-of-sussexs-visit-to-amsterdam-postponed-121220)
QuoteBuckingham Palace has announced that the Duke of Sussex?s scheduled visit to Amsterdam on the 8th of May has been postponed. He is still expected to visit The Hague on Thursday the 9th of May for the launch of the Invictus Games The Hague 2020 as planned. The postponement is said to be due to logistical challenges. The full statement reads, ?Due to the logistical planning for the travelling press to cover visits and engagements by The Royal Family, we have taken the decision to postpone The Duke of Sussex?s scheduled visit to Amsterdam on Wednesday 8 May 2019.?
Presumably they want the royal press hacks to follow Charles and Camilla, more than Harry.. so they are cancelling part of his trip. However it all looks very messy. I dotn know why he is going at all, when the baby is either expected or may have been born by then.
Some RR's and RP's have confirmed that there is not enough Correspondents for all the official events officially notified in this order:
1st to officially notify Clarence House, German Visit
2nd to officially notify Kensington Palace, Wales Visit
3rd to officially notify Buckingham Palace (Communications Secretary of H&M) The Netherlands Visit
Plus the RoyalBabyWatch with local/international correspondents at Windsor Long Walk, stationed and moved to RBB, BB, Hotels there since the beginning of this week. Waiting...
One RP said it straight, his BOSS had him scheduled to work in Germany for C&C, just yesterday his BOSS told him to reschedule to The Hague, his Flight ticket to Germany can be used if the airline travels also to the Hague, if not, its a lost ticket, pay penalty if reusing before 1 year validty. Note: SM Sussex Squad is blaming William. :D Other RR/RP are being quiet, they are not disclosing where their employers are sending them, obviously some have airline(international) or train tickets (wales) already purchased to Germany/Wales before last week's Netherlands announcement.

The Duke of Sussex was in The Hague today to attend the ?One year to go Invictus Games The Hague 2020? event. Prince Harry arrived at the Sportcampus in the Zuiderpark in The Hague and began with a basketball training session. He tried his hand at archery and managed to hit a bullseye. He learned more about the preparations that are underway and met with several potential competitors. During a speech, Prince Harry said, ?Make these Games your own. We chose you for a reason. And not just because I like the colour orange.? Afterwards, he rode a bicycle around the Zuiderpark to see how the preparations are going.
Prince Harry also met up with Princess Margriet, King Willem-Alexander?s aunt, who is the Honorary Chair of the
Recommendation Committee of the Invictus Games The Hague 2020, and the mayor of The Hague, Pauline Krikke. Princess Margriet greeted the Duke with three kisses and well-wishes for his newborn son Archie. Later on, he also received a special Invictus Games onesie from Princess Margriet.

Sussex Royals has edited their Instagram post. Here is the edited text. They mostly just added line breaks.
Seems the couple's new communications secretary has had some bumps down the road; the failed labour email, the 3 time Invictus Netherlands corrections. Oh dear, not a good start in a job.
Here are the two texts with the bottom one being edited with the breaks that
@wannable pointed out. TBH the bottom one is a bit easier to read with the breaks IMO.

The Royal.UK official website managed by the BP staff also committed a tremendous gaffe stating Baby AH was the DOC's first baby (full regalia HRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) :teehee: It has since been corrected, but oh dear. Fatigue is not to be played with, preferably don't attempt in anything when tired.

NEW Prince Harry has broken cover for the first time since 'Megxit' and announced that 'the story continues' as he launches the next instalment of his Invictus Games. Prince Harry also talked about the power of the games to heal families, days after he and Meghan announced they were stepping down from their roles as senior royals. The Duke of Sussex was announcing the new home of his Invictus Games for wounded veterans which is to be hosted in Dusseldorf, Germany in 2022.
Thank you

My personal plan is to include any and all charity/patronage visits here along with any current or future informal ones ie: Meghan's drop-in visit in Vancouver this week.
Perhaps they will include their count in the SussexRoyal website (some RR's are certain that copyright is still under discussion and predict it will also be returned to the BRF, dormant) A change of name DDofSussex?! Apparently the site will also be selling fine things a la crown collection without going tacky to uphold the standards of the monarchy.
Somehow they need to make moneys or manage their expenses annually with GBP 2.5Million.
So I guess this is a sign of whats to come. Harry did only one official engagement this month. The rugby league thing and Meghan has no official engagements for January.
Yes the CC only records engagements submitted to the BP office and approved by the Queen. Still I believe that Sussex Royal will keep us informed of any private visits made to their UK patronages. :thumbsup:
Do you think that Prince Harry and Meghan will both attend Trooping of the Colour? Or do you believe only Harry will?
I believe that they're invited, but we'll have to wait and see if one or both choose to attend. I'm hoping that they will and Archie will join the kids on the balcony in his parents' arms.
I hope to see Prince Harry at The Trooping of the Colour with Archie and if Meagan is there that will be great.
Maybe they will make appearances at BRF events here and there in the coming years.
Glad to see that the National Theatre people aren't playing the media game of 'Let's throw all the mud we can at the Sussexes and see which bits stick'.
The Director of Royal National Theatre dismissed the reports claiming he and his staff were fuming. Says it?s business as usual with Meghan as she remains their patron. So again it goes to show how misleading reports can be. He spoke to the Telegraph.
So they are quite happy with their patron.

Go and be gone.
Harry is patron of the London Marathon Trust and as such has a perfect right to be there in April. Except when he was serving in Afghanistan he has never missed being present.

Once this pandemic is over and travel is possible Harry will be back to work on his various UK charities. Harry didn't step back from those.
I don't believe that Prince Harry will likely leave Vancouver Island for the UK in the near future-Spring 2020. His upcoming events related to the London Marathon and Invictus Games are postponed to later dates. The events in which the wider BRF extended family were likely to attend (Trooping the Color, Ascot,...) are in question for now. IMHO it's safer for him to remain at home with his family. :happy:

Not a chance. It seems like this horrible lockdown situation may go on for at least 3 months and very likely more. He wont be able to come to the UK for some time.
Quite right, everyone business or personal need to prepare their routines/life for now* 3 to 6 months. This virus will change the world politically, economically and socially, especially the children, the future.
*For now, meaning check your country or local scientists/medical/government OFFICIAL websites with UPDATES. It's ever changing almost daily.

It seems to me like the UK will be in lockdown for maybe 6 months or more. And it will probably be the same in other coutnries including Canada. So Harry wont be able to travel or speak..
None of the royals should be venturing out.

This thread is about Harry. He can't do his new job because it entails travelling and public speaking... and that's not going to be doable for the next several months.
Their latest Instagram post may give us an idea, they are bored, hence digitally training to be counseling for MH.
What they are suggesting is exactly the same as:
The SHOUT charity can give you an idea of the training, FAQ's, Q&A's, what to reply to each question, when receiving calls. The good thing is one can work from home as an operator.
@wannable-Yes that would be an excellent suggestion for the Sussexes to train for the SHOUT charity as long as they can do it remotely from Canada.
Yes, they are factually promoting a good thing CrisisTextLine, which is exactly like Shout (give us a shout from the UK) the charity of William and Kate, previously the foursome.
The promo is for Canada/USA.

Again .
But he wants to be gone.
He and Meghan want to be gone. See their own words in their demands.
So gone they are. Their right and their choice.
They could not pick and chose. Do as they want.
Now, as celebrities, they have their own staff independent of TQ or The Crown.. They have their own choice of home. Their own choice of social media is how and what and when they communicate
Yes they , in their first demands said they had wished to work and establish their new role within the BRF...
That is not how that thing works.
All members work to support their country, their subjects, The Commonwealth, and The Queen.
As you said, they will be just fine as multimillionaires doing their thing.
They are gone. Doesn't matter what people want. they chose to go and they went. So no point in wanting them to come back. At present it can't happen anyway.

Excellent news
@wannable. Thank you for sharing.
The charity SmartWorks aren't waiting for 31st March, have already changed the wording in their website; they deleted all HRH and Royal, leaving it plain Duchess of Sussex.
They still have the HRH but not allowed to use it.
Quote from: sandy on March 22, 2020, 02:16:01 PM
They still have the HRH but not allowed to use it.
Again, I know that.
We know that.
They know.
Everyone knows that
So that is why SmartWorks removed HRH, Our Royal Patron, etc.
I don't think it really a big deal.
Again, it must be a big deal if Sarah and Diana we?re saddened they lost it.
Agsin, it must be a big deal if Henry and Meghan would have preferred to have HRzh and Royal used too.
Again, they still have HRH, we and everyone knows that, but they cannot use it.
Agsin, what sense does that make to have something, but cannot use it.
My opinion, in QEs year review, they will losevit and officially lose patronages.
My opinion on QE.
Common sense?
Contradicting?
Confusion?
Much of the separation does not make sense.
Cannot use HRH, but can have it.
Can keep patronages, but not act on behalf of QE but will not be returning to work with those patronages but , but but cannot be two separate BRFs with MH doing their thing pooping in , making their own calendar, but , but....
I think QE has let things open as to not publicly appear harsh and fast.
When all pr,fanfare, press dies down in year fir year review, she can finish all these things.
Quote from: sandy on March 22, 2020, 02:20:32 PM

of couse it is a big deal. Why do you think the queen forbade tehm to use it. She did not want them trading on their royal status or their HRH..
In the long run and in perspective IMO it is not a big deal. They actually still have the title it was not taken away from then. ANd in this pandemic in perspective it certainly is not important. IMO.

No but this wont last forever and was not a problem when they left. the queen clearly thought ti was a big deal and Harry and Meghan IMO have been trying to keep the word "royal" because they know it is a selling point.. when this is all over they will need to get working and earn their living.. and they will need every selling point they can get.

Everybody knows that Harry is a Prince and the son of the heir to the British throne. His wife takes his status from him as always happens in Britain. If anybody in the UK or US starts carrying on with nonsense like 'Well they are aren't really royals' they can be directed to that and to the Queen's statement that 'Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be members of my family.' which is perfectly true.
In the US and in other parts of the world it's the styling Prince and Princess that matter. People don't understand or care about the styling of HRH. If they did then Diana would have been dropped by Americans who adored her after her divorce, but she wasn't. She was just as popular as ever if not more so. And Harry is Diana's son.
The financial support of what they want to sell, themselves, has to come from the rich and famous.
Henry is not going to put his money in a foundation or nonprofit.
His money is not long like that.
So they will need galas for rich and famous and rich and business to fund their non profit or foundation. It costs to get funds.
Those kinds of people have their own.
Again, a foundation or non profit are not ways to earn money.
Lol.
I keep hearing some of you say after this global crisis passes, your favs will earn their millions.
Some of us keep asking you all what are things can the duo can do?
My opinion, I don?t see any money making plans fir this duo.
My opinion, the spares of Harry, Andrew, Margaret had the better deals.
Why would you ask people on the board what they plan to do? I don't get it. Only the couple know and have not revealed exact plans yet.

And how do you know they haven't been planning and brainstorming ideas for months. I doubt very much they have just been sitting twiddling their thumbs and relaxing in Ottowa.

I do believe that they have been and are continuing to plan. However they have come up against some unexpected obstacles ie COVID 19 epidemic and QEII's requirements about the use of their styles/titles.
As the rest of the royal world seeks new ways to carry out their roles in this highly unusual first quarter of the 2020, no doubt that the Sussexes are are also revamping their earlier plans.

I think their plans are shot. There's a massive recession.. they're not going to earn lots of money sellng stuff.... and how are they going to manage with security once Canada pulls the plug on giving tehm security guards? RPOS from the UK wont be albe to travel back and forth. Charles will probably have to pay for private security, and find a Canadain firm to do it....

A pending engagement tied to The Royal Foundation of TRH Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Heads Together and the Ministry of Defense of Her Majesty, the United Kingdom.
The website FAQ's explain the collaboration since 3 years ago of the 3some to create the HeadFit website. It was meant to be launched this coming June 2020, but because of the COVID19, it was launched today.
HeadFIT for Life (https://headfit.org/home/)
Scroll down at the above website, there's a video launch from Harry. In the video he says that his physical exercise routine works for him mental health wise.
My only criticism is if that is so, he is giving mixed messages from his own doing/mouth.
In reference to Harry's ex charity Map Action:
Quote from Map Action, published by The Daily Mirror
Map Action said: ?The Duke is no longer a patron after we reached the end of a second five-year cycle of patronage midway through 2019. Map Action is grateful to have had him as royal patron for our formative years.?
Quote from Russell Myers, Royal Rota for the Daily Mirror
But the charity did not explain why Harry remained on its website until earlier this month. And Map Action was still listed among 14 patronages on the Sussex Royal site he set up with wife Meghan.
A palace insider said: ?It?ll be worrying for others hoping the Sussexes will not abandon their charities.?
That is nice that the CWT team issued a statement, everyone needs to get on board and protest peacefully rather than with violence. Violence to deter violence/violence with violence, never works.
True. The Commonwealth of The Q etc.
That is not a statement from MH by Omid like their usual social media things on their official site. BP does not speak for them it was said.I doubt QE called them to clarify or get their permission.... well Harry, Meghan is it ok if I say this, lol.
After March 31, they were set free.

Then, a storm, because I dont want to say HURRICANE, is off in the Gulf by Mexico. In one week, we will see if this monster decides to aim at Texas and Louisiana. June 1, hurricane season started. It runs until the end of October, I think officially. August, September are always the rough months.
Harry and Meghan are President and Vice President of the Commonwealth Trust. The statement wouldn't have been issued without their say so. Nothing in it states that it was a message from the Queen, who has her own means of conveying messages. As it was a Commonwealth Trust statement of course it was issued through the CT website and nowhere else.
Usually the Royals put their names/seals with official announcements.
This one is signed by the Team of the Queen's Commonwealth Trust. The couple nor the Queen are mentioned in the tweet to garner more followers, marketing, communications expansion, etc. by using #Sussex #Sovereign

Many charities with royal patrons have been posting messages On social media in the wake of the death of George Floyd.
Ive seen charities linked to Charles, Catherine, William and Prince Philip all speak out about it.
I love it!
That was my hope when MM joined in. You can't change such an old and archaic institution and let's face it, the BRF is the definition of inequality.
But at least, you can nudge it and make it more of an ally, without the kind of preaching MM tried to engage in. Slowly, but steadily. And the symbolism of having a WOC princess alone was important. Anyway, I am upset they could not see what they could have done. But this, it is good.
Yes, if it's on their own will to express, they will say so, if its done by their boss/patron/ambassador, as I said, usually accompanied by a signature/seal.

Read Our 2019 Annual Report | African Parks (https://www.africanparks.org/read-our-2019-annual-report)
African Parks released their 2019 annual report, Prince Harry, President wrote the opening of the Annual Report, in the above link, slides 8 -9, 10-11 with never seen pictures of Harry in Africa.
Quote
Prince Harry says we must ?give children the future they deserve? amid pandemic and ?extinction crisis?
? Provided by The Independent
The Duke of Sussex has written an open letter for African Parks stressing the significant global impact of the extinction crisis and coronavirus pandemic.
African Parks is a non-governmental organisation focused on conservation, which looks after national parks and protected areas throughout Africa.
For the organisation?s 2019 annual report, Prince Harry, who has been president of African Parks since 2018, wrote a letter in which he described the connection he has felt with the continent of Africa since his first visit as a young boy.
?I knew I would keep returning to this continent if I could, for its wildlife, for its people, and for its vast expanse,? the 35-year-old wrote.
Prince Harry said that while ?living through an extinction crisis?, the coronavirus pandemic has simultaneously ?shaken us to our core and brought the world to a standstill?.
?On the extinction crisis the science is clear: we have perhaps a decade to correct course before we lock in our fate,? he stated.
?On this pandemic, while much is still unknown, some evidence suggests that the virus? origins may be linked to our exploitation of nature. The gravity of these challenges is coming to light, but we must not be paralysed by them.?
Prince Harry outlined the work African Parks has been doing to look after ?some of Africa?s most embattled and vulnerable protected areas?, saying these regions ?are essential for the wellbeing of local communities and in safeguarding our global climate, but only if they are protected and functioning properly?.
As he neared the end of his letter, the duke articulated how becoming a father made him feel even more strongly about protecting the world for future generations.
?Since becoming a father, I feel the pressure is even greater to ensure we can give our children the future they deserve, a future that hasn?t been taken from them, and a future full of possibility and opportunity,? he said.
?I want us all to be able to tell our children that yes, we saw this coming, and with the determination and help from an extraordinary group of committed individuals, we did what was needed to restore these essential ecosystems.?
I agree with Harry. Protecting our environment, the wild animals within it and indeed the world itself is vital. Our wildfires here in Australia has caused a very worrying depletion in the numbers of koalas for example. I also concur that becoming a parent increases the anxiety about what sort of a world we are going to leave our future generations. This Coronavirus has given a lot of people a great deal of time to think about such issues.
The annual report slide show or pdf is beautiful, the pictures are professional and richly done. Kudos to them.
Truly spectacular photos and to be honest one of my favorites is on the opposite of Prince Harry's opening statement (huge flock of birds.)

@StreetGames
Wow! Thank you so much Harry and Meghan for your kind words and your continued support for StreetGames and the brilliant local organisations working to support their communities in these challenging times.
Twitter (https://twitter.com/StreetGames/status/1274734375876333568)
Released yesterday by Street Games, letter dated 19th June.
There's a ongoing discussion in social media about the couple using their official monogram to Street Games UK. They visited one street games charity during their royal tenure, but I don't think they are patron (s) to that organization (usually an organization will mention in their official website the status of the royal; president, ambassador, patron). So should the couple have used or not the royal monogram stationary? Also it wasn't signed, usually official monogram stationary the BRF workers type and sign. If it's announcements from household, the stationary is different; a coronet and below it Buckingham Palace, Clarence House or Kensington Palace.
Oh, for heaven's sake Harry and Meghan ought to be able to send a simple letter of praise and thanks to charities (whether British or American) without SM and the tabloid Press seizing on it and constantly turning every single thing they do into a point of controversy and drama!
StreetGames fits into Harry's other charities (sports for disadvantaged youth) very well.
As for the monogram, talk about a storm in a teacup. The monogram was chosen by them jointly before their marriage. They are still members of the BRF, still a Duke and Duchess and they have a perfect right to use their own monogram in a letter.
Harry has presented a Princess Diana Award to young changemakers on behalf of himself and his brother on the anniversary of their mother's birthday. (I miss her still.)
Speaking on video link he stated that his generation had not done enough against bias and prejudice.

The Queen's Commonwealth Trust IS linked to the monarch and to the Commonwealth. If it wasn't then various tabloid commenters wouldn't be getting up on their high horses about it.
The Queen is patron of the QCT and has been since 2017. The Sussexes are President and Vice President of the QCT, Harry's Presidency of which was announced at around the same time as him being appointed Commonwealth Youth Leader. The organisation is also a charity and its aims and programmes (mainly in Africa) are featured on its website. Lord (Christopher) Geist, the man ousted as the Queen's PS in the Palace coup by Charles and Andrew heads its board.

Some interesting views of communism and of democratic values by Europeans and British citizens.
Public Opinion in Europe 30 Years After the Fall of Communism | Pew Research Center (https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2019/10/15/european-public-opinion-three-decades-after-the-fall-of-communism/)
Oooh, studied it, eh! scarey! Reds under the bed! Quick, hide everyone!
The Queen is Patron of the charity organisation and her grandson and his wife head it, so they are linked. If they aren't then as usual Morgan and the tabloids are making a fuss over nothing again aren't they?
I introduced the fact that the Sussexes commiserated with the NAACP in my post. It was reported that they did after Floyd's murder and I repeated it as I am entitled to do.
And so what if some BLM leaders have far left views? Going around calling people Commies sounds like something from seventy years ago to citizens of most of the rest of the First World.
If you called someone a communist in Britain, Western Europe, Aus or NZ, they'd think it was a joke insult and collapse in laughter. You seem to think it's a deadly insult, and probably people who have extreme right views in the US do regard it as such. It's notable though that no British or Commonwealth newspapers are jumping up and down about Harry and Meghan being part of some Communist Front! :teehee:

As opposed to the British empire, the Commonwealth is made up of sovereign, independent countries. Each with their own foreign and domestic policies. Countries are free to join or leave.
If Harry and Meghan have issues with a particular country they should say so but to call out the Commonwealth as a whole makes no sense.
But once they go down that road theyll find many majority non white countries in Africa and Asia have appalling human rights records. Are they going to call out those countries or just the majority white countries like Australia, Canada and the U.K.
I have already written about the disgraceful laws against homosexuality in Afrcan and Asian countries of the Commonwealth. I'm aware of them. Harry has stayed at, lived in, worked in, several countries in the Commonwealth in Africa and would know some of the difficulties with human rights in that continent. Neither he nor Meghan pointed to any particular country or realm when they made their remarks on the video discussion.
Yes, the Commonwealth is made up of the sum of its parts ie different countries. However, the umbrella organisation, the Commonwealth Secretariat, is located in London and follows as it were, an overall administrative function in the organisation. There have been several occasions in both the distant and recent past were many hoped that the Secretariat would act more promptly and firmly with certain countries' behaviour and in attempting to censure their leaders.

QuoteA young leader who took part in the video phone call with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as part of the Queen's Commonwealth Trust discussion on justice and equal rights earlier this week, has admitted her initial hesitance in joining the call.
Alicia Wallace, the director of Equality Bahamas, gave an insider's view of the phone call, during which she admitted to at first feeling uncomfortable about joining Prince Harry, 35, and Meghan Markle, 38, for the talk, due to the Royal Family's history of colonisation.
She admitted that choosing to be part of the conversation was 'complicated', as she feared being branded hypocritical by 'sitting with people whose titles are symbols of a legacy from which we need to be freed', Alicia went on to praise the Sussexes as 'calm, relaxed and responding with substance'
IMO I am not surprised that Ms. Wallace initially felt uncomfortable considering the topic but I am glad to see that she later felt more at ease.

A senior peer, Lord Howell of Guilford, who was involved in the Brexit negotiations, has stated that the Queen 'fully understood Harry's comments about the Commonwealth.'
At last, some sanity to counter the rantings of the likes of Morgan and wootton on the subject. .
Article in the Telegraph.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...comments-says/
I read the article and he gives his opinion. Nothing more. He hasnt spoken to the Queen. He says I would *think* she fully understood the context. And I would have *thought* she understood it fully.
They ALL give their opinion, nothing more, including ratty tabloid journalists and commentators who used the comments made by Harry on the Commonwealth video to further attack this couple. I'm equally sure Morgan, Wootton, et al haven't spoken to the Queen either. Lord Howell has at least had experience in foreign affairs and government.
Double post auto-merged: July 10, 2020, 07:16:28 AM
Speaking in Thursday's Chopper's Politics podcast (which you can listen to on the player above), Lord Howell said: "I would think she fully understood the context. He's been very active and committed to Commonwealth activities.
"He's a real champion of the Commonwealth and I think he was trying to explain to others outside Government ... where we are going. I would have thought she understood it fully, frankly."
Lord Howell described the Commonwealth as "winding down the empire" and "a voluntary coming together of those countries who didn't feel too antagonistic or angry or furious about the past".
The modern-day Commonwealth had allowed them to be "joined together in repairing some of the bad aspects of the past and some of the abuses and atrocities, and all the rest", he said.
He added that the fact the organisation was "ceasing to be the British Commonwealth and becoming the Commonwealth... [was] a brilliant way of moving out of empire" and said: "I would challenge all historians to tell me a better ending to any empire in history."

That's the secretariat in London. They tweeted that because the media are bellowing at Harry and the Commonwealth is being discussed everywhere over the last few days. It has come under focus and scrutiny by people who never questioned it before. In fact the Commonwealth as an organisation has been criticised by the media in the past, usually as an irrelevance, an attitude I don't agree with.
Anyone would think that Harry had suggested that the Commonwealth be dispanded! In many ways it's a disparate organisation and at several CHOGMs there have been angry and disruptive meetings.
The main thrust of the British tabloid media, most of whom don't know squit about the history or organisation of the Commonwealth, has been that Harry took an aim at 'Granny'. He didn't do that at all.
And the Commonwealth isn't some cosy and comfy club where nothing happens but which is presided over by a kindly old lady and therefore must never be examined or criticised by anyone. That is plainly ridiculous. The nations of the world wide Commonwealth contain a majority of young people and they do not look on the Commonwealth as their parents or grandparents did. You have only to look at what the Bahamian participant in the talk said, about how there are arguments about
the Queen as their continuing head of state for example.
I actually participated in a discussion with several people from the Commonwealth only a few days ago. The group was split but it was notable that younger people from Africa and Maoris from NZ agreed with what Harry said in his discussion with others.

Meghan spoke of voting suppression. Is there suppression in the USA? And if one wishes to not vote, you are a complicit.
Quite strong words.

It's a drive through for the poor, so how did they handle the walk ins. I know there are 66,000 homeless accounted for, latest stat in LA. Is this school, where the shoot was taken place, part of the charity, or loaned. It would be nice to hear about it more, since LA surpassed poorness in every sense from New Orleans.

Re the WhenWeAllVote discussion in which Meghan took part. I agree 100% with voting in all elections. I went from living in a country in which people turned up to vote if they wanted to to Australia, where voting has been compulsory since the 1920s.
Every now and again debates about the pros and cons of compulsory voting drift up here. My answer to those who argue against it has always been,
(A) If you can't spare a half an hour out of your Saturday (our elections are always on that day) and everybody else felt the same way then it would be a disaster for any democracy, wouldn't it.
And ((B) If the govt that is brought in after an election isn't to your liking or it follows policies you dislike then the answer lies in the voting booth at the next election. If you don't participate then in my view you have no right to complain about governmental policies afterwards.

@wannable I am guessing that perhaps a separate hand out location was designated for any walk-ins. The school site might have been selected for its parking lot and street traffic layout so a number of cars could safely be in a line and not interfere with commuter traffic.
The school is definitely Title One (receives federal funding) based upon the number of students who qualify for free/reduced meals. The test scores are extremely worrisome with most students' results being far below the state average.

Harry and Meghan also helped the children, from low income backgrounds, re-plant their garden with a selection of vegs and flowers. They also read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk to them. Seems a good time was had by all!

Thank you for sharing the article link because now I know that the preschool is close to Meghan's alma mater Immaculate Heart.
QuoteBoth the Duke and Duchess of Sussex got their hands dirty Monday adding Forget-Me-Not seeds to the garden at the Preschool Learning Center, a school dedicated to providing high-quality childcare to preschool-aged children from low income families. It's an institution the Sussexes are familiar with, as they've volunteered there before, and it's just a few blocks from Meghan's alma mater, Immaculate Heart High School.
A little information on the Preschool Learning center in Los Angeles.
Preschool Learning Center ? Assistance League? of Los Angeles (https://assistanceleaguela.org/program/pre-school-learning-center/)
QuoteAssistance League? of Los Angeles provides high-quality childcare to preschool children from low income families in order to help them succeed.
Studies have shown that children who attend preschool outperform their peers academically and are more likely to go to college. Assistance League? of Los Angeles? preschool operates under California Department of Education and instills academic and social skills in children and fosters their social, emotional, cognitive, creative and physical development.
Since the 1920s, the Preschool Auxiliary has operated this program through a combination of fundraising and professional support. As a result, our pre-k services are able to be provided free of charge to children from low-income families ages three to five years old. Assistance League of Los Angeles Preschool Learning Center is funded in part by the California Dept. of Education and Child & Adult Food Program. The Preschool Learning Center serves families without regard to sex, race, religion, ethnicity, sexual preference, or physical handicap.
Unfortunately not all of the parents were happy about the seed planting. Some have taken to social media to complain that under the current circumstances that parents cannot step on to campus but are wondering why the Sussexes and their photographer were allowed to gain access. IMHO Assistance League of Los Angeles does owe the families an explanation as this pertains to student safety.
As to the children being photographed I am going to assume that all had written permission from parents/guardians via a media consent form. (Heaven help ALLA if they didn't!!!)

Too bad, too sad. Too late. Those parents will just have to just get over it. This is done. It is over now. Score big points for Sussex team here.
@FanDianaFancy -I respectfully disagree. The school administration should answer the parents' questions regarding the current Covid-19 policy for on campus visits.
I'm not sure those parents are from the same school. To me it sounds like parents in twitter in disbelief that their own school (s) have strict covid19 rules, whilst the school visited by the DnD of Sussex's were lax with celebrities.

I agree. Those Twitter complaints didn't read like the concerned parents of pupils from that particular school. In fact several didn't sound like parents at all.
@wannable and
@Curryong -You make good points and I should have considered that these remarks came from others.
Harry has sent a video message of encouragement to the teams of Walking With The Wounded charity, who are about to embark on a gruelling walk across the Omani desert. This endeavour was launched by Harry in June.
He's been involved with this charity for many years now and (pre Covid of course) joined in with the charity Walks by wounded and maimed veterans on several occasions, including to both Poles. No doubt if not for the pandemic he would have joined in there in Oman for part of the way. A video of the 2011 Antarctic trek was made with Harry in it (making ice loos for his fellow soldiers) was made and proved popular.

I remember Harry visiting Nepal and staying on after the official visit to help build a new school after their natural disaster. He loved it there, obviously.
The Windsor males have got the balding gene badly, though some worse than others. I think it comes from Prince Philip's Greek side of the family. His father was very bald from quite early on.

A new engagement for Meghan

@scobie
Duchess Meghan will speak at tomorrow?s
@FortuneMPW
about how experiences online shape communities offline. She will join the summit for a virtual one-one-one on rebuilding the digital world and creating humane tech (a big part of Archewell).
Meghan Markle says she doesn't focus on 'criticism or flattery' | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8786507/Meghan-Markle-says-doesnt-focus-criticism-flattery.html)
Her usual silly jargon.
Misinformation, hate speech, social media...
Harry, again, really does not have much to do. He went from having clearly defined duties, work, places to be, people to see, things to do , to now in TheUSA, not so much. He is a house husband. A stay at dad like Jessica Simpson husband.
I can say, a positive,
she looks great. She is very pretty.
If you look through Harry's engagements over zoom during the last couple of months he has done about as many as Meghan. It's just that she has done two or three zoom conferences. They are working on setting up their new Foundation and its been said that they both are taking classes in film and TV production as well. That's far from being a house husband.
Members of the BRF do not work on their engagements daily 52 weeks of the year. Multiple engagements typically only happen when they are on tour. Behind the scenes receiving of people connected with their Foundations, charities and patronages (in other words a nice chat with someone for fifteen minutes or so) is a good portion of that.
Covid has also affected it all. The numbers of face to face public engagements due to Covid has diminished to a trickle over the past six months. Numbers are down, even for Charles and Anne, and Charles does a great deal of background research as well (or rather his staff does.)
So we don't know at all that Harry would be doing a whole heap of public things if he was back in the UK at all, in fact quite the reverse. Just like the rest, from the Queen down, the BRF are mostly confined to long distance zoom and phone calls and, looking at Boris's new measures, will be for some considerable time.
@Curryong , you can twist it . Meghan it seems, is more out and about here in The USA than him. You can twist it, Covid, their foundation non- profit, same in comparisons to Anne, William, zoom calle, etc.
Fact is Henry is out of his league in The USA.
He and Meghan have done more together, and she alone than he has alone.
CA weather is great. The big , modern home. Sunshine.
Still, it must be odd he is out of his league in The USA.
True, you can say, well, that is just my opinion of the leder board between him , him and Meghan here.
Tonight was this god awful, debate between Trump and Biden.
Meghan , it will be interesting if and hiw much more she posts on the same ole silly jargon of avoid negative ....etc.
Will she post anything about the debates?
She is an American citizen. She can.
Will she have anymore sit downs with other people like she did with Gloria?
Where does Harry fit into to all this?
He is like a fish out of water limited here in The USA in being coddled, protected, heard, liked, involved in HIS country, and so forth.
Double post auto-merged: September 30, 2020, 03:37:09 AM
He does not have here all that goodwill , knowledge of things , govt, media, entertainers , people at his home country there for him .
What can Prince Harry be thinking? The last time Brit royalty tried to boss around Americans ? it started a revolution (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12777392/prince-harry-royalty-boss-americans-revolution/)
I think this articles describes it best.
The vast majority of things on Zoom that Harry has done over the past few months haven't been designed for or aimed at an American audience, but, at a time of Covid, catching up with his main charities and causes in the UK and the Commonweath. And it's clear that he intends to keep up with those.
The couple haven't produced any product for Netflix yet or set up the new Foundation. I doubt very much that Harry is going to hang at the back of the pack when participating in any of those. 2020 has brought with it extremely unusual circumstances for everyone, and as I have pointed out the RF haven't been incredibly busy either because of it. BOTH Meghan and Harry have the rest of their lives to make a difference, to make their mark in all sorts of ways.

I totally agree.
That is not my post.
Henry seems less visible in TheUSA than she has been in their little vids and zooms.
.He has limits here. He is not limited in his country. He was protected, coddled, sought after, etc. in his country.
Meghan has a bit more room here for things than he does.
After Covid plateaus , what , next summer, lol, ok. He will be out more , but still, he is limited here.
He cannot speak , I mean dictate, on certain things.
He is a celebrity here.
It is different.
Possibly he is content to lead a more private life, but Meg is clearly eager to talk on political issues.. Perhaps he wants to bee a house husband and get away from clicking cameras and public life.
Maybe Meg is going to be the one to do all the wrok for Netflix, producing nad narrating things and leaving Harry to a quiet life

If everyone had that attitude no-one who had any status of any kind in their homeland would ever emigrate or settle anywhere else in case they felt 'diminished' or were told they didn't have a voice.
There are plenty of people who lived comfortable lives and had respect from others in the land of their birth who emigrated/settled in Britain, the US or in Australia etc, have achieved a great deal in their new land and have spoken out about various issues.
Possibly harry does not want to comment on American issues,. Hes only been there a few months, and is bound to be critiicsed if he speaks out, as not knowing much about the US at present. And he has stated that he found public life difficult and stressful so.. why should he embroil himself in a public lifestyle? Meghan seems to be mroe than happy to speak on US issues nad probalby to earn them a living..
True.
@Amabel2 , maybe he does not.
So therefore he is speaks out about avoiding misinformation, social media nonsense.
Yes, nonsense . There are laws against slandar, libel, but not against negative facts.
Yes
@Curryong , many people emigrated to other countries and became citizens of that new country or not and just lived there for a long temporary time due to marriage or work.
Henry fits in there.
He is not an Everyday Joe living in an ordinary world.
He cannot speak of things here he knows nothing if: Racism, schools, politics, environment , regions of country economics depends of the environment, etc.
Yes by what you said of people moving to other countries ir other states within The USA.
It will be years, years, maybe even a decade before Henry can spek on things here. It must be a lost feeling for him to not be able to call upon entertainers, govt. officials, etc, be protected and coddled as he was in his home country after only be treated that way all his life.
Meghan is an American free citizen and can do, say, go, meet as she pleases.
As an expat moving around and about, approx every 5 years as and with big corporate Co's. All have within the basic rules is to be respectfull of the political, social and economic environment of each country. If in trouble, other than the Co's emergency contact (me) the embassy number/address to go immediately.
IMO, Harry shouldn't have spoken out publicly about the USA elections. Keep it private with his wife only, there are people in the circle or not, who sooner or later might just get him in trouble, specifically about the country that receives one, criticising their politics, social and economical situation/culture.
I usually tell my expats to politely say ''I'm an observer'' with a sympathetic face, and I've been transferred here to work, I love FillInTheBlank (every country has beauty spots)

Report on the Metropolitan police force stated that it was institutionally racist, some years ago...
Yes, there was a wide ranging report on the Met (police force) that brought up several issues. There have also been recent reports on racism in British universities.
It goes on every day in the lives of people of colour in Britain as well. As for the history of people from the West Indies who emigrated to Britain in the 1950s, believing they would be welcomed with open arms, don't get me started!
Racism in Britain: the time for denial is over | Letters | World news | The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/05/racism-in-britain-the-time-for-denial-is-over)
As for the people who try to get over the Channel into Britain I doubt that they know anything really about the conditions they will encounter as illegal residents in Britain, working illegally for little or no pay, disastrous living conditions etc. The majority are from Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq, and they know that welfare benefits are generous (stories spread by agents and people smugglers.) They don't realise the consequences of actually settling down in the country.
Other large communities in Britain are from Pakistan and India. Leaders from these have long pointed out anomalies in treatment by authorities.
Every country in the world has racism but Britain is one of the most open and welcoming countries in the world.
The woke left invented terms like institutional racism and structural racism to further their divisive world view. Being white is an original sin from which there is no escape
Have you ever lived in Britain? I doubt that West Indian migrants in the 1950s and 1960s who came to Britain expecting acceptance (having been taught at school that England was 'Home') and found ignorance and prejudice, would have described their reception as 'open and welcoming'.
I am far from woke, (if 'woke' is being used as an insult) but can remember vividly instances of prejudice from my brief time at art college and then at a British university far from London. And I welcome that attitudes in Britain towards those of colour are being discussed as they are. Far, far better that than such issues being swept under the carpet as they were even thirty years ago.

Ther is racism in the UK, but people do try to get here.. there is also racism in hte US and peoplle try to get in there too... The question is whehter it is wise for Meghan and Harry to be speaking about political issues as they are doing.
They made a video marking Black History Month UK. That's not a political gesture. They also nominated some prominent persons of colour who are British citizens. That's not a political gesture either.
If Prince Charles had tweeted about Black History Month in the UK nobody would have said anything. But because it's the Sussexes, everything is regarded as being radical and against the BRF belief system!
Royals go into mosques, some British Jews would regard that as offensive. They also attend synagogues on occasion. Some British Muslims would be against that. Not everything veers into a political, no go zone.

If Biden- Harris wins, look for Megs and her comical sidekick, Henry, to be at POTUS inaugural balls.
I wonder how that will be with Covid19 virus.
Harry and Meghan chat to five teenagers about coping with mental health and being bullied trolled in the Internet Age. It's an important subject and it's good that it's being discussed in this podcast for World Mental Health Day.

Meghan clarifies her 'not Okay' comment on the SA tour, in a reply on the mental health podcast, explaining that she gave the interview to Bradby feeling exhausted and as a new breastfeeding mum.
Meghan Markle Not Okay Breastfeeding Exhaustion | PEOPLE.com (https://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-not-okay-breastfeeding-exhaustion/)
I?m glad she was honest. New moms do not need to hear that every thing is dandy fine. Too often they are told that motherhood is the best thing ever and it should be bliss. It?s not. Women are tired, bewildered, hurting, hormonal flooding, unshowered, overwhelmed and distressed over the changes to their bodies. The last thing they need is some famous new mom telling the world how perfect and easy it is.
Glad that this remark has been clarified and that Megan was honest about what was going on in her life at the time. Nursing a baby is very time consuming even with help from paid staff or family members. Even pumping and having someone else bottle feed the baby is very time consuming for the mother.
Her not being OK done in the backyard of raped girls and women, immediately after visiting poor people with no hopes is not a good look.
People should weigh in the good over the bad, count their blessings.

I believe, since they live and purchased in California, they should associate and be active with MH in that state.

A recent report by the California Health Care Foundation estimated 7.6 percent of children in California?or one in 13?has a ?serious emotional disturbance,? and the rate climbs to 10 percent among the state's poorest children.
Children's mental health a cause for concern in report on California youth, family substance abuse and poverty are the underlying causes.
By the way the Sussex podcast has really taken off due to their informal chat with the teenagers about mental health, Internet bullying etc. The Teenagers Talking have gained almost 10K followers and the video hit a million views on YouTube. No doubt they are thrilled with the exposure and reach it has provided. That was the point after all. Bringing more attention to causes and people.

Harry has a lot of credibility after what he has gone through and about which he has been open and honest. I'm so glad that he is still serious about the issue, as he and Meghan worked with the Cambridges on mental health during what seems like ages ago. It is an issue they all felt is important, and I agree with them. And now it is being highlighted on both sides of the Atlantic, which is super.

Prince Harry is joining a star-studded lineup for a great cause.
The Duke of Sussex, 36, is set to appear on the 14th Annual Stand Up for Heroes Event, which is slated to air virtually for the first time ever on November 18. He'll join big names in entertainment also making appearances such as musicians Bruce Springsteen, Sheryl Crow, Brad Paisley and more as well as comedians including Ray Romano, Tiffany Haddish and Iliza Shlesinger. The event will be hosted by Jon Stewart.
Stand Up for Heroes launched in 2007 as the brainchild of Bob and Lee Woodruff and New York Comedy Festival founders Caroline Hirsch and Andrew Fox to honor the nation's injured veterans and their families. The New York City-based event has raised more than $55 million to support service members.
An excellent concept, and one that will, hopefully bring some millions in donations into the coffers. I hope it does very well. In these times we need all the entertainment we can get!

I think that was a lovely thought of Harry's and I'm sure it was appreciated. Very sick children couldn't gather together in this climate anyway, but Harry has kept this charity next to his heart.

Thank you for sharing the news about Archewell and the World Central Kitchen. Sounds like a great partnership. :xmas17:
Interesting but perhaps not surprising that these organisations all use Sunshine Sachs as their PR people. The same PR as Meghan and Harry use.
I got to know about Jose Andres via several shows in Netflix; food programme and the other country visits/per episode which impacted the most, as JA was feeding people of Puerto Rico after the hurricane Maria destroyed all power lines, flooding.
His initiative is great, I think he is expanding to cooking schooling during those relief visits, so people can have 1 or another skill in their CV/job seeking. He knows it's not sustainable to do an Africa 'forever' situation, people get used to being relieved by an organization without efforts of investing infrastructure for the basic needs, water.
Having said that, being both managed by Sunshine Sach is a good thing, because management knows them both. It's a win win project.

Ugh...
Honestly I don't have a problem with the promotion. With small, local businesses needing all the help they can receive this year, I don't see an issue. Afterall the royals were more or less giving the Luminate display (before the announcement that it has to shut down) at Sandringham some help by attending the walk and royal warrants have long been seen in London, Edinburgh etc.. Now it is true that the Sussexes are investors in the company so they have an additional incentive to help it survive, but all in all if it helps keep more people safely employed in a troubled year, I'm okay with it. :xmas4:
If Kim Kardashion wants to jump on the band wagon re this coffee that's up to her. Meghan is an investor in the brand not the owner. She's never met KK in her life and therefore wouldn't be contacting her to do anything. The owner's probably happy about it (any publicity is good publicity when you own a brand) but so what. Nothing to do with the Sussexes.
KK once sent a sample parcel of baby clothes to the Palace when Meghan was expecting Archie but they got sent straight back. That's how friendly the couple are with her, lol.
We have a Christmas Card with an artistic rendering of the three family members and two dogs. :xmas21:
QuoteThe drawing is based on a photo of the family taken by Meghan's mum, Doria Ragland.
A spokesperson for the family said: "The original photo of the family was taken at their home earlier this month by The Duchess?s mother.
It was sent earlier to their charities and this one was shared by someone at Mayhew.
Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and Archie release adorable Christmas card | HELLO! (https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/20201223102678/meghan-markle-prince-harry-archie-christmas-card-photo-2020/)
QuoteThe Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released a festive family card with their 18-month-old son Archie as they prepare to celebrate their first Christmas together in the US.
The card, which was shared to the Mayhew charity's social media accounts, features an artistic rendering of the family as they pose in the garden of their California home.
I suppose the first thing I noticed is how much Archie has grown. He is now an adorable little boy not a cute baby. Love the dog members of the family being their too. However, I don't know whether it's the Hallo reproduction or what, but the colours look extremely bright, even garish. Nonetheless, a happy little family group, and it's great that Doria took the photo. Maybe she is staying with the Sussexes fulltime now.
How much Archie has grown? I can't make any of them out. It looks like an Instagram filter. Bizarre looking Christmas card.
What a response to a family's Xmas card to one of their charities. Full of the spirit of Christmas, I see.
It looks like paint by numbers. I've never seen a 'royal' Christmas card like it
God forbid that anyone in the BRF do anything out of the ordinary or unconventional at any time. Anyway, you don't like the Sussexex, you don't like their Christmas card. We get it. Perhaps you preferred the 2019 Yorks card showing a dog's behind. More your style!
I have to admit that I'd love to have seen a photo of Archie as it has been so many months since we saw him. I believe it was the video when Meghan was reading to him. Now he's walking and likely running so it would be fun to really have a clear view of his face. It's always fun to look for family resemblances, toothy grins and sparkling eyes in the little ones. :xmas2:
The original photo might well be released in the New Year.
I like that card. It may be not ? Royal? but it?s unique, imaginative and fun.
Yes, perhaps because I have a creative streak myself, paint in oils and acrylics, sketch and sculpt a bit, I like it when people go out of the way to do something out of the ordinary with their birthday and Xmas cards.
It's so edited and photoshopped.
On the contrary the Xmas card was made so that nothing much could be done to alter it. As people on Twitter who dislike the Sussexes had done various things online with the last cards, altering one of Harry's eyes so that it looked bloodshot, asserting that certain things and people in those photographs had been deliberately photoshopped, inserted, put out of focus etc, I believe that this year the Sussexes produced something that their haters couldnt fiddle with easily, and they've succeeded.
I'm not interested in photoshopping, if that is the case of the Sussex's real feelings (if said by someone in their circle), they are very susceptible towards the public, social media, which I'd believe it, as they seem to have at least talked about it once.
The female professional photographer who photographed the Sussexes in Canada for their 2019 Xmas card was extremely upset that the photo had been messed with by others online, and complained. It was reported at the time.
And really, as this Xmas card was liked by the Sussexes themselves and by their charities to whom it was sent (along with donations from the couple, it really doesn't matter who likes it or doesn't really (even though many on Twitter etc have liked it.
A take on the card via the Fail, who consulted an illustrator in the hopes no doubt that she would heavily criticise it, while they inferred in the same article that Harry and Meghan had bought the Wendy house seen in the card costing thousands, for their son, in order to have a copy of the Queen's Wendy house at Windsor. It does not resemble the Windsor house in the slightest, but then that's that rag for you!
'While no creator has been credited, a graphic designer has told FEMAIL that the image must have been made by a 'skilled illustrator'.
Anna D'Assaro said: 'Having had a good look at the card and being an illustrator myself, I can say that it looks like this has been done manually from a skilled illustrator or an artist.
'Taking a closer look at the image, you can notice how the shadow and highlights are all tiny little strokes which long ago would have been done by a paint brush.
'Nowadays this can be done with Adobe Photoshop brushes or an iPad Pro and pen and you still wouldn?t notice a difference.
'It is difficult for me to say if this has actually been painted on canvas with the use of acrylics and then digitized later on, or if this was entirely done digitally with the help of a pen and pad.
'The dogs and scenario as well could have been shot individually even to then be edited all together to accomplish the perfect snap.'
Illustrator Anna added that the image could've cost the couple between $500 to $2.000.'
Here's an idea. Instead of sending pics of themselves why not send a conventional Christmas card. Then they wouldn't have to worry about people messing round with the image...
@Amabel2 - I believe that your idea could be the ideal solution for the Sussexes if they were concerned about anyone altering the image as we know it did happen in 2019. An handcrafted card with either a photograph, ink print, watercolor etc.. specifically created by someone associated with one of their charities could be the public card. Meghan currently has four UK patronages and Harry has close to twenty of them so someone involved with one of the groups could be the one to make it. Then closest and trusted family and friends could be the ones to receive the family's personal card.
I don't think the couple wants to send 'conventional' cards. They like individual and unusual ones.
As far as the royal family photo Xmas cards are concerned I think they probably started when the Wales boys were little and everybody loved seeing the family together. I might be wrong, but I believe before that they sent snowy winter scenes, or similar. I think Charles sent a reproduction of one of his watercolours painted abroad one year, before his marriage.
I used to collect Victorian Xmas cards. There were some beauties among them. Quite a lot of Beatrix Potter-style mice and cats as illustrations, but also dead insects and birds.
QuoteI don't think the couple wants to send 'conventional' cards. They like individual and unusual ones.
That is true and therefore if someone associated with one of their charities designs and creates a one of a kind card for the couple it could be reproduced for their public card. Actually it could be a great annual fundraising opportunity if the card was then available for purchase.
Also I believe it was stop the problem of any photoshopping of their images. Last year's card was reportedly photoshopped by one of their fans who inadvertently created a problem by wanting to enhance the original.
That is an idea, TLLK. Perhaps you could write to one of their charities with the suggestion! However, I might be cynical but I think that if the British tabloids offered enough money for one of the private photo Xmas cards there would inevitably be a leak. And if there was no photo of the Sussex family for public consumption there would almost certainly be screams from their detractors that the couple were 'hiding' Archie, because they don't really have him or there is something wrong with him.
That's been said anyway, that Archie isn't really their son or htat he doesn't exist or whatever.. Similar things were said about Kate and George... that she didn't give birth to him etc.
Two different couples, clearly one couple feel very hurt (and they do read) the tabloid comments (Harry) and SM trolls (Meghan)
It is interesting the editing tools today, from a photograph taken by Doria (according to Omid, who also said this past weekend that this weeks a Christmas picture, full direct contact, believe him 100 when speaking in behalf of them), to different kinds of app filters, the picture just gives a faint silhouette and that's it.

You often say that 'people said this and that about Kate and whatever'. The problem with that is the scale of things only a few years ago as compared with the way the Internet operates today. The stuff about Kate and George reached a peak online in 2013. It only continued sparsely from 2014 onwards, with the exception of a couple of tarot sites and one (now defunct) Royal forum. It didn't continue, day and night sometimes, on Twitter and Tumblr for over 18 months and will probably go on for years.
Harry and Meghan love Archie and are proud of him. Surely to God this couple are allowed to portray their son on their Xmas card with them once a year if they wish, without a full scale war breaking out on the internet about their choice of Christmas card!
This couple owe the British taxpayer nothing. They owe Britain nothing. They now live in a foreign country and get nothing financially from the Queen or Charles.
If they chose to send an Xmas card to their charities with demons and Satan portrayed on it (which they wouldn't ever do of course) that would be entirely their decision and nothing whatsoever to do with anyone else.
And they don't need to send Xmas cards out they don't care for with pictures of Santa or wintry scenes or The Three Wise Men or whatever anodyne image pleases others if they don't wish to, and they obviously don't. Their choice ENTIRELY. Or should be.

Harry and Meghan have made a donation to the Foundation set up to honour the memory of Harry's friend Henry van Straubenzee. Hen, as he was known, was about to go to Uganda to work in a school there in his gap year when he was killed in a freak car accident in England before he could set out. He was 18.
Harry used to attend the Carol Service held each December (though not this year due to Covid) which was an annual fundraiser and he and William are Patrons of the Foundation. Harry and Hen were close, being of the same age.

Harry and Meghan have made an Xmas donation to the NZ charitable endeavour Make-Give-Live for 100 bobble hats, in Archie's name. They did the same sort of thing last year and the organisation was inundated with orders and donations after Archie appeared in a photo in Canada in his father's arms wearing one of the hats.

Sorry it's a tabloid but...it appears that the Duke of Sussex and Oprah Winfrey's joint documentary on mental health has been slowed due to COVID 19 and possibly the Sussexes' move to North America.
Prince Harry?s Apple TV+ mental health series with Oprah Winfrey stalls again (https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/13626412/prince-harrys-apple-tv-series-stalls-again/)
QuotePRINCE Harry?s much-anticipated Apple TV+ series has stalled despite being in the making for more than two years.
The mental health documentary serial was due to be released last autumn with Harry, 36, working alongside Oprah Winfrey, 66.
The article says that while no announcement has been given for an air date, it could be released in the Spring of 2021.
The Apple documentary is probably like hundreds of other similar projects planned for release in 2019/2020, stalled by the worldwide pandemic. We were talking about this in the family only the other day and saying that Hollywood has released barely anything in the past ten months either. Unfortunately Covid has impacted hugely on the lives of those working in the industry as well as everybody else. The issue of mental health will still be very relevant in 2021 and I expect this documentary will be ready for release in the late Spring of this year.
Harry has joined the Aussie Prime Minister and others in launching a new mental health app to assist frontline workers in Australia take care of their wellbeing in these challenging times.

Theres a message from Harry
Invictus, and Harry, have already done many things to assist in the area of mental and physical health for others. That was one of the reasons for the founding of Invictus in the first place and the partnership is another worthwhile step along the way.
QuoteThe Duke of Sussex, Patron of the Invictus Games Foundation, said, ?For a year now, NHS workers have been engaged in a new kind of battle. They have consistently set-aside their own physical and emotional health in the service of others. This service and sacrifice resonates deeply with so many in the Armed Forces community. With this ongoing project, we know that the NHS and Invictus communities will learn from each other, support each other, and lead conversations that everyone can draw from. It is from these shared experiences I hope people can find strength, compassion, and understanding, and the inspiration they need for their own recovery and resilience.?
:thumbsup: Good message from Prince Harry.

These need to be pulled. It is just silly at this point.
Secretly wishing for a girl too
@FanDianaFancy. IMHO fathers who didn't have a sister might find it hard not to believe that their little girls are not made of glass and can be just as active as their brothers. (It was a surprise to my own husband and his brother when their first children were girls but then again, I guess that the Wales brothers might have figured that out with Zara as their cousin. :D)
It is fun for parents if they experience both genders. Meggie is girly girl.
Two boys would be fun too. Diana , as girly girl as she was, lovedadored her two boys and really, two boys were better for her.
Kate. First son is first and is most special being first . Then add his place , she is probably more protectant of him.
That girl is her girl . Enough said, lol.
Louis is her baby and hers.
Funny her parents had two girls and a boy and she had two boys and a girl.
Focus on pregnancy should be her #1 concern.

She doesn't have to do anything.. She's not a working royal, she has no duties..so it is up to her waht she does with her life from now on....
...and instead of focusing on her pregnancy and moving on with her life there in California, she has chosen instead to rehash the past and "make war" with Britain (BRF and British media). Doesn't she have anything more constructive to do there with her "new" life without inviting her "old" life to intrude?
She could've waited to "make war" AFTER her child was born, when she'd be less emotionally and physically vulnerable. But it seems she WANTS to stay forefront in the British news right now. Why?

Sort of at Amabel2.
For income, they have to produce good, quality shows for Netflix. Produce it and people will watch. No pr from for it would be best because it makes people biased.
They fame or not does not matter.
They need fans to listen to them preach on Spotify. So far, if I am not mistaken, not too many fans showed up for ratings.
They should be tired, you would think, of this shytstorm, chaos of OprahInterview and LondonTimes.
OprahInterview was not necessary.
They wrote a book.
The LT did not need to report this mess either.
Henry and Megan should go lay low. Chill out. Enjoy their money. They have no public role, no public service, no protocols, no maternity leave if you ever could call BRF wives have maternity leave because their workload was not a daily grind to begin with. They owe the public nothing and the public here expects nothing of them.
Really, people do not care. Gossip fodder is always good in entertsinment and they are serving good gossip as they are celebrities like Megan The Stallion and Harry Styles.

Sort of at Amabel2.
For income, they have to produce good, quality shows for Netflix. Produce it and people will watch. No pr from for it would be best because it makes people biased.
T
but so far they are not producing shows are they? They are teh show and I wonder if the shows they do produce will be all that interesting. So they have to keep themselves in the public eye until they do something that there's a market for..
Kind of Amabel2. Keeping in the American public is not a guarantee for ratings for a show. They are not staring in the shows like Kim Kardashian and family. No, Sussex have had no shows on Netflix yet. Yes, the shows must be of interest. So far Meg n Hen are just gossip fodder.
America is different.
Megan and Harry no longer members of BRF in a sense. Here, we do not have royalty.
Henry is going to get a rude awakening by Dec 2022, in time as things settle more, here the govt is not interested in him. He is not going to meet with world leaders.
When this Covidvirus settles down more, I wonder if Pres Biden will have TheWH State Dinners.
Lets say he has one for British PM , whoever that will be at the time, or for Duke n Duchess of Cornwall or Cambridge, will Megan n Henry be on the guest list?
Henrys new life is totally different from his old life. This brings us back to Netflix shows, podcast. He needs fans, yes, but the shows must be of interest too. The shows must be promoted , but not Megan n Henry. That Dianas son thingy, Prince thingy does not work here.

but clealry it does.. as that seems to be what Haryr and Meg are offering in their Oprah interview.. that Diana was badly treated and so was he and his wife and son. And I dont know what sort of shows he and Meg are going to produce.. do you? clealry IMO they will use the "We are rebellious ex royals" card to keep their American fans watching them..and will use interviews with Oprah etc to advertise the shows. But its been a year, granted an abnormal year and still no shows...
:hug?: Yes. I see your points too
@Amabel2 So far, no shows. Yes, last year, this year and probably half of next year, things wont be back to normal, lol, 2016. 2008.
Yes, they claim tickets to fame are :Dianas son, Race Card, and Rebellious Royals.
How many times , how many years are they going with this gig.
So far, it has been two years.
OprahInterview is bringing their autobiographical book to life now. Okay. Then what?
Americans tabloids of : People Weekly, Us, Ok, National Enquier, The Globe, Life & Style, In Touch The Star , The Examiner ( this has the great stories of things like Camilla n Charles to adopt alien baby from Mars), will run next week from OprahInterview. Amer tabloid , ENTERTAINMENT shows will run poor pitiful them stories.
Lol, these media sources, which are jokes, and this press is not hood. Gossip is hardly what you want to ybe known for.
Now that we have a date for the Service of Thanksgiving for the Life of the Duke of Edinburgh in late March, I'm hoping that the Duke of Sussex and possibly the Duchess might consider attending. Since this is an official event, I'd hope that one or both would choose to be present to honor Prince Harry's late grandfather.
I don't think we'll ever see Meghan back for anything but there's a slight possibility for Harry.
I doubt he will come his is after all saying that its too dangerous to come here after all. His court case is showing he lied about offering to pay for police protection there is word out that what he really wants is to get his international protected person status back so the American tax payers will have to pay for his security. This with his dodgy businesses and non for profit (why the heck does he register them in Delaware known for the place of dodgy non for profits as there only 5% of money in non for profits has to be donated). If he does come to the uk with the Netflix cameras you can just know that he will raise hell when they are not allowed in royal estates or in the memorial and he will try and do that.
He cant realiistically think that he can be followed by his own cameras, doing some kind of favouralbe documentary on him, when back in the UK, at least not at royal or RF events and meetings. He must know that he cannot use his royal connextions in the UK for anything like that.
I think he will only pay brief visits to the UK just to see his family or perhaps for a day or 2 of hte Platinum Jubillee.. and that may be why he has complained about his worries about security... it means that he will only have to stay for short periods and perhaps not bring Meghan or the children
Prince Harry would rather sulk in LA mansion than attend Grandfather's service
Prince Harry would rather 'sulk' in LA mansion than attend Prince Philip's funeral - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIc0qjNc4ck)
It's often hard to figure out why he does the things he does or says the things he says. So often it is just so ill-advised. But I think there is just a chance that the bad publicity he has received in the UK may have led to threatening emails and messages, or just plain things he's read that make him feel that there are some who mean him harm. Between the two of them I sometimes just shake my head. He may also realize the damage he has done with his racist accusations - wide damage and not just to the RF- and is ashamed to face his family. He doesn't usually show remores, but I suppose there is that chance.
:goodpost:
I feel the same way, after seeing Harry in that orange whatever he was wearing with sun glasses made me shake my head in disbelief that this is the man now who used to be so joyful when out in public and happy with is family.....now he is a strange pitiful broken man to me. I do not see a happy man with a loving family now.....he acts like he is in a horror show trying to get out. Everything must goes his way or not at all and nothing is going their way at all these days...just what have they done for the world since they left the royal family, bought a huge expensive house with 14 bathrooms for whom.....visitors from the royal family ...Not! They whine, they tell lies which have been fact checked here on the internet(didn't they think that would happen in lying like that), they talk and make promises, Meghan shows up in every expensive clothes like she is walking a red carpet down Hollywood Blvd....talk is cheap and lies more so......I think Harry is terrified to face the royal family in real life person where is on the internet he can just disconnect them when the seat gets to hot to handle.
Harry was wearing the all-orange outfit to publicise on YouTube the 2022 Invictus Games (which will begin in a couple of weeks) in the Netherlands. Orange is the Netherlands national colour and the IG, which has assisted countless maimed and injured vets, was begun by Harry due to his Army/Air Services experiences in Afghanistan and other places. The cause has always been close to his heart.
He appears perfectly happy with his wife and family to me. He was certainly looking joyful on his Xmas card with his wife and two children. The couple?s house was not bought or maintained with any taxpayers money so if it has a thousand bathrooms it?s nobody?s business but theirs. And the same goes for Meghan?s clothing.
Eugenie, his cousin and Jack her husband, visited their house in Montecito only a few weeks ago. Presumably she is still a royal, as is Harry, as they are both the Queen?s grandchildren, and are close to their grandmother.
As for what they have done since the couple have made regular donations to charities from their wedding day on. Harry raised nearly 3 million for Sentebale last year at a California polo match for example. The donations of money and goods over the past two years have been noted here on the Sussex threads.
Report below about the millions raised for Lesotho and other African countries suffering from AIDS and few resources.

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police confirmed to MailOnline that the couple's security is being 'privately secured'.

According to Lady C, she said to not take any of the articles that the Queen, Charles, William and Kate are scared, troubled heartache, etc. with the arrival or MM's threats. She said the above people are prepared for the ''very long game''.

I have agreed with
@Blue Clover,
@wannable and
@PrincessOfPeace says on posts
Sussex wouldn?t no longer have automatic police protection because of no longer HRH and also security requests because Sussex must pay police protection for trips to Harry?s homeland of UK and also trips to country but not pay from Royal family also but HM Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles&Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridges have security 24/7 clock requirements for sake of security reasons protection of HM Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles& Duchess of Cornwall and also Cambridges due drama of Sussex but HM Queen Elizabeth II wouldn?t allowed that!!

Oh, Lady C knows the Queen, Charles, William and Kate personally, does she? (In that case I?d love to have been a fly on the wall when she explained to Charles her belief that his beloved grandmother, the QM, was the illegitimate daughter of the Strathmores? French cook! A person who was never employed by them btw!)
I would bet all my savings that ?Lady C? has never had a serious conversation with any of the above royals. She gets her stories of the rumour mill, at second and third hand, rather like the RRs, except they at least get leaked stuff when Royals? courtiers and aides want some story out in print. I certainly can?t see the likes of the Queen?s or Charles?s PS?s hobnobbing with the likes of that individual.

The Sussexes probably changed their mind and will close their case with the Home Office quietly. They don't want the BRF to know any of their movements. They will never ever have any say of WHO of the RASP will be with them. Switching can and may occur whenever the RASP decide, so any of the Queen, Charles, Camilla, William and Kate's Royal and Special Protection (RASP merger of SO14 and SO1) can go to H&M for their once in a blue moon visits.
During their Jubilee visit, their security was the Queen's, with a last minute integration of one of Charles security driver (due to the 15 min late to take the secured bus with all the minor royals), then we have Neil Sean who said a few days ago that Jonathan Thompson, Platoon Commander at HM Forces WAS PURPOSELY placed behind the couple at St. Pauls with orders to make sure the couple would take their seats at Row 2 Section B and keep a watchful eye on them.
Let's see.
In reference to Lady C's comment, I agree with her. The BRF (the ones that matter) have been and are going to play the very long game. So far it is working.

The tabloid Press are constantly moaning about Meghan talking out of turn. However, if she didn?t then half of those journalists, commentators, ?royal experts? etc would be out of a job! They are constantly writing, talking, pontificating about the Sussexes and what they are doing, saying, where they go, how they are still breathing etc (always in negative terms of course.) Case in point, see above. The Sussexes? doings have kept much of the online tabloids in business over the last three years, so they really ought to be grateful!
As for Neil Sean, he is kept busy earning money reporting on the Sussexes all the time as well. He combines guesswork with the occasional gossip trawled from some Palace underling or RR. At least half his stuff doesn?t come to pass. He needs to hope his source remains in place for the next reign (the old order will be changing from top to near bottom within weeks of HM passing and CH people will be in.) Then he?ll be left with no rubbish at all to impart.
I love the way he slurps his way when always referring to the Queen as ?Her Glorious Majesty? lol, for the benefit of his US viewers. No Palace servant, however low on the totem pole, would even attempt to say that to any other Briton with a straight face! They?d get laughed out of the room!
As for his ridiculous observation about a Platoon Commander being placed behind the Sussexes, what exactly was this person going to do? Tackle them to the ground if they dared to move, or march them out of the nearest door at the point of a bayonet, lol?
One thing about Sean, Lady C and the others, they can always be assured of providing me with a good laugh whenever they pretend they know anything serious about any royals. And that includes the Sussexes.

Oh, well if Harry knows the platoon commander then what Sean says must be 100% true then, lol!
I don?t doubt Sean has large numbers of idiots listening to him every day. That?s the beauty of the Internet. You can get thousands of the naive and credulous listening and watching prevarications and lies every day. Aliens on earth and hiding on the moon, Trump a completely honest martyr to Dem calumnies, Putin wanting to invade the US, celebs saying and doing whatever. It?s all grist to the mill and provides a living to a load of people who otherwise wouldn?t be heard of in a million years!
Charles?s PR working well I see. Bit of a turn around as all the tabloid RRs have been yowling from the same hymn sheet for a week that the Queen won?t/can?t see the Sussexes and the rest of the royals don?t want to! So which is it, tabloids? Those RRs and other journos had better throw a few more entrails into the glowing ashes and do another little dance. Actually, witchdoctors would get it right more times than they do, lol.

A now very elderly and frail sovereign, and a King on the near horizon. And also a very new and untried PM who is not too popular in the Parliamentary Party. We don?t know whether Meghan will be making any speech on gender equality at this conference. And even if she does there are plenty of gender inequalities to be pointed to, even in countries with female leaders and figureheads.
Also it?s as well to remember that if Elizabeth?s sister Margaret had been a boy, as things stood in 1952 it would be he not Elizabeth who would have ascended the Throne.
I just signalled a country with 2 women as Monarch and PM.

I know what gender equality is, thanks. Im familiar with the concept, believe it or not. And I also signalled that it wouldn?t have mattered if Elizabeth had been a person of great ability, huge intelligence, wonderful charm, and a brother a charmless cretin with few gifts. It would have been he who would have sat on the Throne and not his sister. So much for gender equality in 1952 and for ?equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities?!
Objective fact The Queen does (did) not have a brother.
Kelvin Bruce is a UK based hired photographer (same person who pictures H&M shushing the children and Meghan bringing down the window) He and his associate Todd are following the Sussexes schedule.

I am pointing out that the Queen came to the throne by a lucky chance at a time when equal rights and opportunities for females were not paramount in the British system of monarchy. And that system was not changed until shortly before Prince George?s birth only nine years ago.
Only changed (2015 retroactive 2011) is better than Never changed.
I'm interested in the tone of positivity or negativity and IF she throws shade to the UK or USA (Kamala Harris) which only changed a 19 months ago.

Quote from: Curryong on September 05, 2022, 02:33:09 PM
A now very elderly and frail sovereign, and a King on the near horizon. And also a very new and untried PM who is not too popular in the Parliamentary Party. We don?t know whether Meghan will be making any speech on gender equality at this conference. And even if she does there are plenty of gender inequalities to be pointed to, even in countries with female leaders and figureheads.
Also it?s as well to remember that if Elizabeth?s sister Margaret had been a boy, as things stood in 1952 it would be he not Elizabeth who would have ascended the Throne.
Yet this is today's time and place and it is Elizabeth on the throne, not an imaginary boy that does not exist, so we deal with the times of today. I am a firm believer in facts, even in the ancient world which is very hard to find most of the time. We all just have to wait and see what comes out of Meghan's mouth for none of us really knows and I wonder if even she doesn't know either for if it is not about her, then let the lies continue as she has shown us that before.
She just finished speaking 'opening' the one young world. Surprisingly conservative about her experience with the organization encouraging the young people/per country in the audience that now is your time.
The other speaker before Meghan was Bob Geldof, very heavy speech, he ended it asking the young leaders to question the following characters: Xi, Putin, Johnson, Trump and Biden.

Harry and Meghan get the red carpet treatment in Germany | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11185045/Harry-Meghan-red-carpet-treatment-Germany.html)
The couple were all smiles as they arrived in the city's main square where hundreds of royal fans stood for over two hours in the stifling heat to see them promote the games exactly a year before it is due to start next September.
And the event had many of the hallmarks of a royal visit despite the couple being classed as private citizens rather than royals by German police.
Harry wore a grey suit with an open neck shirt and put a comforting hand around his wife?s back as they walked towards an Invictus banner outside the town hall entrance.
Meghan beamed as a woman in the crowd shouted out ?you?re beautiful? and scores of people cheered.
Others shouted out the Prince?s name and he seemed to find the adulation amusing.
Harry looked relaxed as he waved and smiled at the crowd.
Their arrival had been delayed by 10 minutes due to the volume of traffic coming into the city centre.

As usual Meghan looks wonderful and can certainly deliver a prepared speech. However after listening to her speech, I believe that this was a missed opportunity to take the focus off of herself and redirect it to make it more relatable to the audience. (She referenced herself over 50 times.) Also a bit surprised that there was no acknowledgement of the host city's response to the tragic bombings of 2017 during the Ariana Grande concert. Especially since the BRF members including Prince Harry were very much involved in addressing the situation and/or visiting the city in the aftermath.
Prince Harry discussed it in 2017 when he met with former POTUS Obama at KP.

I think you've hit the proverbial nail on the head. It's the old issue of form vs content.
Quote from: wannable on September 04, 2022, 10:40:09 PM
People Magazine (or any other USA media)
Meghan Markle is speaking out about being "silenced" by the royal family.
"Were you silent, or were you silenced."
Meghan responded, "The latter."
The Cut
It's interesting, I've never had to sign anything that restricts me from talking, she reveals, as she ushers me toward the door. I can talk about my whole experience and make a choice not to.
This is the reason why she has lost so much of her credibility.

As for the speech, for me it was the *same ole me and the same ole me again*,nothing new about the event or Manchester, yet it was just *old* news.
What really got me was her remark...* ?It is very nice to be back in the U.K.*, that to me is a crock of sh*t as she ran from the UK and the royal family and since she has left has done nothing but bad mouthed them to heaven and back, she is a very *bitter* old woman now from what I see of her. It is not her looks, it is her ATTITUDE that shows the very type of person she is. She has shown she hates the UK, the Commonwealth, the people and the royal family so again she is LYING to the public and if they believe her they are dumb and as my sister has said so many times elsewhere, *there is no cure for stupid* and both Harry and Meghan have shown and are showing still they are just stupid and have not learned from their mistakes.
Sorry for the rant, yet that quote just really peeved me off big time, the woman has no shame in what she does to get what she wants in life be it telling LIES again and again....shame on you Meghan Markle for that is not how a royal lady behaves. Someday this will all blow up in their faces and the end will not be pretty.
The word counter (specialist) :laugh10: article says she referenced herself 54 times. That is 7.7 times per minute, almost every 10 seconds I or Me, for 7 minutes.

Omid Scobie says cross this line to Cambridges but I don?t think SO!! But Sussex is cross the line to HM Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and Cambridges but Sussex and Cambridges didn?t speak for years im sure Omid Scobie need his mouth shut up!!
I agree Scobie is full of beans. William has always been there for his brother, even when Harry didn't interpret it that way. And after the things Harry has said and the innuendos he has made, HE is the one who should be apologizing. But the inability of him and Meghan to accept responsibility for their actions has been laid out front and center for all to see, so we don't expect apologies.

There will *never* be an apologize from the Sussex's, just never, not even if and when pink pigs fly over....just never! They will never believe they have done anything wrong either, and people like that are very insecure within themselves and put on a face they want the public to see, and that is not how they really are. Control is a big part of their lives and can only take them so far in life. Boy do I know control freaks and therapy is a good teacher as it teaches how to break away from bad habits and keep those habits at bay, Harry is in great need of a good therapist as he looks so miserable at times. Not all the money or titles or fancy homes or praise from strangers can fix him, he must learn on his own.

You?re right about that Harry need responsibility for his actions or his account but no more bombshell books or bombshell interview ever!!
Harry wants ''accountability'' from William. Omid doesn't detail the accountability. The RR's suggest Harry wanted William to support him versus KP staff, especially Jason Knauf claim/string of emails/court of justice. And all the other NO's he received.
Harry is totally immersed to 100% What Meghan wants, Meghan gets.

Why are we going through all this once again, on an historical day that will probably not happen again in British history for generations?
Omid wrote the piece yesterday. I'm allowed to comment about it yet, there is no red markings of 365 days past.
Also if he is the unofficial spokesperson of Harry and Meghan, they or he shouldn't have been writing more relentless PR or nasty stuff and distributed to the media.

Whew - I wrote that before the earth shattering news of today. Now I just hope that Harry will not make any of his complaints and criticisms during the mourning period, and that a better path begins to be laid between them.
Just going through their 'board', read the 'thread' Duke & Duchess of Sussex future engagements in the ''UK'' and I have this sudden feeling the couple will stay for the next 6 months.
Well it might be a good thing for the couple to have their children brought over after the funeral to give Archie and Lilibet and opportunity to become familiar with their father's birthplace.
