New thread
This is old but I wanted to share because it's new to me.
It's been mentioned by Alexi Lubomirski that Harry is really into photography. B. Gordon also noted that Harry completed a set of black and white family photos.

And this other little note
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxQYafvXwAIe9XG?format=jpg&name=large)
Yes, I?d read before years ago that Harry was a keen photographer, and enjoyed setting up scenes for cinematography that Charles wanted to films at Balmoral and elsewhere. I think, as with most things in his life, he enjoyed filming and photographing Africa and African scenes, and is talented at it. He may have had some tuition from his Uncle Andrew who has always had an interest in that area. Of course an interest in photography within the RF goes right back to Queen Alexandra.
And it?s always nice to hear of Meghan?s support for the underprivileged sectors of society like refugees. Of course
Service is universal. It always has been. I?ve volunteered all my life as well as been in social work. I certainly didn?t take the Queen, QM or any member of the RF as an example.

Can I ask, what really was the point of you commenting this? There is an entire sub for anti-sussex and etc. This wasn't about Netflix, this didn't appear on Netflix, it doesn't even relate to what Alex or Gordon said about Harry's interest in photography. It isn't related to anything about the topic at all. You dislike him and think he's an unstable grifter, there is legit a sub on this forum for you to express those views.
You are free to take the photos and make the comments there if it brothers you so much.
This photo wasn't even sold to Netflix. It makes no sense. Could you please follow the rules established for you to make those types of comments with people who enjoy the same line of thinking as you.
What is wrong with selling to Netflix?
150 million deal not bad at all right?

I'd like to see more honestly. Even if the photos are released via Netflix, if it's family photos of him, his wife, kids and whoever says it's okay because the british media can whine into the void.
I knew Charles and I think Phillip had some artist talent. I didn't know about Andrew but I make it a point to know nothing about Andrew.
Still, I'm waiting for Harry and Meghan to narrate audio books, they have the voice's for it.
And it was so lovely of Meghan to do that. Like you said, service is universal. Most recently, where we had our Passover, the city that it was held in has a reading program. I donated the books I brought with me and sent some when I got home because we're moving offices and a lot of books were going to be throne out. They didn't take direction from the BRF either.

In my book, nothing at all.
I just wanted to know what was the point of the needless, negative comment when there is an entire sub on this forum that caters to your taste.
Selling home pictures and videos at 150m is negative?
He must be happy. Made for life.
It was lovely of you to donate books for others to read. Reading really is one of the great pleasures in life. Several people said to me how soothing they found Harry?s voice to be when they bought the audio editions of ?Spare?. I agree that both Harry and Meghan would be ideal reading audio books, for both children and adults.
I only mentioned Andrew and photography lol because apparently he used to photograph the RF?s summer holidays on the Britannia around the Scottish coast. Be a bit breezy for me I?m afraid! Later on he had a professional photographer friend he learned from, so he may well have passed some tips on to young Harry.

The Sussexes will not divorce: their marriage is their power (https://archive.ph/fHP1t#selection-2967.4-2995.16)
All these people who have never met Meghan and have probably said Hello in passing to Harry on a couple of occasions coming forward predicting this, that and the other about their relationship
! That might be Petronella?s experience (what a name, btw!) but women who have two babies within three years of marriage are almost certainly in love with their partners and he with them.
And it?s expediency not expedience in the above sentence.
Later; I thought I recognised the name. From wiki
Between 2000 and 2004, Wyatt had an affair with the then editor of The Spectator and Conservative MP Boris Johnson.[10] Johnson had promised to leave his wife, and the affair had resulted in a terminated pregnancy and a miscarriage.[11] When her mother found out about the affair, she discussed it with the press.[5][10] Johnson was fired from his shadow cabinet post by party leader Michael Howard for lying about the affair, after he had initially categorically denied it.[10][12]
With that sort of experience behind her she believes she is able to comment on married other people?s relationships!!
^For what it's worth, she's a supporter.

True.
One, the British Media are so starved for content and things to make up about the Sussex's because they have 0 access, they're treating what they both side in the Netflix doc, what Harry said during his book tour and what their comms team have said months ago as new news.
And Wyatt called the statement that the sussex's put out about Jeremy Clarkson deranged. As if the man didn't detail how he would like Meghan to be violated and call her worse than a serial killer. So, if they need something slightly good then she better get to writing something slightly good but she's not a supporter.

How Prince Archie's birthday gift inspired a sweet act of kindness from British shop owners - exclusive | HELLO! (https://archive.md/2023.06.10-230925/https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/495142/prince-archies-birthday-gift-inspires-sweet-act-of-kindness-exclusive/)
one, it was horrible to see the abuse heaped upon the business' for giving archie a bike and being happy about a thank you letter. i hope archie doesn't grow to see this and if he does, he knows that just because he's rich doesn't mean he doesn't deserve people doing nice things for him. it's amazing to see people trying to strip humanity away from a little boy who has done nothing but be born and has encounted so much hate and racism since he was born, with no push back from anyone but his parents and his parents friends and some family. same goes from archie. as well as the humanity stripped from the business' because they wanted to do something nice for a little boy who's also british. the good news is, the hate is getting pushed back with love. people have been buying merch, leaving nice comments and even offering to donate gift cards with the bikes they do give away.
it was also nice to see that jennifer (one of the owners) admitted that it took walking just a few hours / days in someone's shoes see the humanity in those who have wealth. it still amazes me that people harp on h&m for not having empathy and humanity for the rf while disregarding that in them.

They won?t do that of course but, in contrast to 99.9% of the US population and 90% of Britons, this Foundation is aligned and supported by right wing groups and commentators in the UK who are absolutely desperate to see Harry totally humiliated and grovelling in the dust. Heritage may well continue with their ridiculous legal challenge and will be getting the same response as yesterday I would guess. Their best bet would be if DeSantis or Trump administration gets in and will be more sympathetic.

What's funny about that, one, you're correct. They'd be better off with one them got into office. Even funnier though, they blame the Biden administrations but it would've been the Trump admin that let Harry in.
Nothing will happen, firstly because he's a Prince aligned with the Dems, sat with a Military General, secondly the border with Mex is infested with illegals crossing who aren't required absolutely no 'check' from drug addicts to criminals.
It's a fifteen minutes of fame situation, but then it also creates an awareness of the US problems to their citizens of the state of just one of the issues of the list in that country.
Nothing will happen will because it is a stupid case.
It would set a legal precedent that no judge wants to touch. It?s stupid again. Also, it?s obvious that this happening in part to get the British media content and while they might be able to bully the British government and royal family, they can?t bully a federal judge. Again, it?s stupid.
It doesn?t point out anything or show any issues, it?s just stupid.
US citizens don?t care because he?s another rich man and he?s contributing to our economy. And it?s stupid.

This article also explains well, why it?s stupid.
I don't think it's stupid, the country is divided between Dems and Reps, a 49/51 Biden Presidential win is very very thin. And at this point in time for quite a few months since last year Biden's numbers have gone down, hence my 'awareness' comment. And why desperate measures of distraction in the US politics scenario are taking place.
This comment is a reality situation, it is not a partisan comment from one side or the other. IOW, unbiased.
Okay, I understand your POV. I don?t agree but I get it.
I?ll maintain that it is a stupid issue and in that regard I mean the heritage foundations case.
You know I think one needs to have empathy and that Homeland security for foreginers rule needs a good reviewing. (I know several dems and reps were salivating for Novak - sports star in the sports thread - to walk in the border to make a scandal *another example out of him, but he travels with his own personal private jet, except far away Australia, first class, he spoke about the trauma of Australia, the jail, what he had to mentally do with his therapist for the next 4 months, etc) I do know that from both sides of the fence, not only in politics but in Sussexes vs. the Waleses, there are extremists who are *not my fav* fruit and nuts :hehe: The more balanced with a tinge of bias in both sides have their points about why and why not. *I actually love fruit and nuts*, just being a bit funny within the seriousness of my comment.
Me: Since the border situation is a mamoth mess and criminals, drug lords are crossing and IS a major concern, nothing else really is 'that' major or important in reference to free borders vs homeland security, which is a joke, which is why my previous H will not have to disclose his Visa paperwork, come on, he is married to a US citizen, a poor drug addict that needs mushroom forever - illegal but it is his meds (Byrony Telegraph article), and I'm talking serious because getting H unhooked to that is let's say try to improve his mental health is probably at this point in time/age, not going to happen.

He's also not a drug addict, unless you know him personally or somehow have access to medical records and etc, please refrain from claiming such, thank you. That's not only a request to you but to the mods to not allow people to make those types of claims without some serious proof.
She admits the backbone of that New Zealand magazine is the British Royal Family, she apologizes to Prince Harry with no details whatsoever of her NZ stories?!
Harry spoke widely to Bryony of the Telegraph, who was invited to Montecito, he literally told her 'I'll be taking my illegal mushrooms forever'', which is highly hallucinating drug. And he want's his brother to drug together.
The regrets of a former women?s mag writer about the way the media have handled Harry and Meghan.
Prince Harry Apology: A Former Mag Editor's Regrets | Capsule NZ (https://capsulenz.com/think/prince-harry-apology/)
She does speak about the stories her mag promoted and this may be of interest to those who believe that no members of the RF staff would ever denigrate or negate other royals.
?Yes, we had official sources, but those sources were telling a different version of events to protect their own royals, or were deflecting and creating entirely false stories to bury other stories (negative stories, but true stories) that might come out about the royals they were responsible for.? End quote
Remember, this is a former editor writing this not just a journalist following an editor?s instructions about a piece.
Which stories?
?For one, I can remember the talk about a rift occurring between ?the fab four? (that was Prince William, his wife Kate, Prince Harry & Meghan), and the hoo-ha about Meghan Markle supposedly making Kate cry before her wedding to Harry over bridesmaids dresses. We printed that story, when yes, in fact, it was the opposite scenario that took place. ? end quote.
From the article. Which goes on to state the bit I previously copied about royal ?sources? (tittle tattling staff in other words,) briefing and throwing shade on other royals while doing it.
The couple change their versions of stories. From getting caught in court with Omid who said none of it existed to Oprah it existed.
We all got played.
No more believing whatever these two are up to.

And I believe very little of what the other senior members of the BRF purportedly say or do. 90% of what comes out in public about them is PR manipulated by their staff and/or the media they have arrangements with. And the other 10% is what they do in private that they hope nobody gets to know about. And I say that after observing the lot of them from the time the late Queen and Prss Margaret were still quite young women. From about 1959 or so.
I?m not sure who ?we? are but I?m not a part of that.
I?ll believe them, Omid and Oprah over the British media and the royal family and those friends and close, senior royal source, senior aid.
A lot of what they said has been proven to be true, and most of the time it?s not even that ?Harry and Meghan are liars? it?s ?omg how could they say anything in public? so what they said happened, it?s just that people believe that Harry and Meghan should be abused and their abusers should be allowed to get away with it. The betrayal is refusing to be silent about an abuse, in Meghans case, being silence for a family that didn?t care about her or the racism she endured for THEM while working harder when marrying then some other royal wives. And for Harry, not willing to be his brothers punching bag when Harry refuse to listen to him. (Even from sources, the story hasn?t been denied, just an attempt at being played down.)
So, do I believe the woman who has a clean record before marrying into this family and the man?s history that has been leaked by his family?.or an institution that?s known for in-fighting, not caring about mental health, not caring about people has human beings and wants people to be loyal to the firm and only pull out the ?were family? line when it benefits them. Actually, an institutions history that?s built on harming history and hurting family for centuries.
Yeah, I believe the former.
Also, please let?s not act as if the royal family don?t change their stories or the British media often change their stories (let?s remember 107 versions of Meghan made Kate cry until they settled on ?well, we?re not saying it?s not true but why did she have to bring it up? It?s okay if ameghan gets hate and called a slave over this story but Kate being called a good person who would?ve wanted to tell the truth????? Meghan just about pushed her in front of a bus and spit on her)
And as I said, unless you have the proof of being one of his medical staff or able to observe him personally, let?s refrain. If you?re able to produce that medical chart and or other info pertaining, then I?ll gladly believe you and not think it?s something wild to through around.
Also, the woman who apologized, was on CNN to talk more about it.
^ My point is I asked what story of the ex editor of the NZ magazine.
The bridesmaids crying story and the fab4 was notified in Omid Scobie's Finding Freedom book as not true, fake news, it never happened. In the Oprah interview, Meghan said it did happen.
The UK Court of Law, Omid lied, Meghan apologized because she didn't remember that there was 35 plus pages of email exchange with the author.
The changing versions pattern of the couple at this point in time is public and notorious. My intention of wanting to know ''which story'' is precisely to show the multiple versions the couple do about any/all particular subject.
Can anyone say who made who cry? With all honesty, NO.

This guy is in cahoots with the Sussexes and with Thomas Markle
An odd position for a person to be in considering the Sussexes and Thomas Markle (who was prepared to be a witness in court against his daughter at least twice) haven?t spoken for years.
He did a couple of statements today in his Instagram story, which lasts 24 hours and he also made a Instagram permanent post - it's in the socialites and royal connections board. Would this lovey dove dove be what Harry wants, pure adoration?! It's quite a bit cheesy, but cheers to them, if they are happy, viva el amor.
i love cheesy, two people being happily in love, it's a lot for people to take in.

i guess the point of her was to apologize for her contributing to an environment of hate and harassment. the point is also for her to promote her new website, make a pivot and
the email exchanges were with jason knauff and we know what type of man he is, in those court docs we also know that meghan was weary about doing a book or anything like that but he convinced her to do it, saying it would be good and she trusted williams staff. yes, a mistake on meghan's part to try and trust that man. also a mistake on omid's part to trust that he was sourcing good information from a person who wanted to help the sussex's.
she sent an email to jason to with things about her and then that was sent to omid. we also know via court docs that meghan didn't trust omid at first because he got a story about her wrong pertaining to her stylist, clothes and fashion.
but a man who runs to help a paper that had been out-right racist, abusive and a bully isn't a man that can be trusted. it was a lesson in trusting most people in the palace and thinking they actually had the sussex's wellbeing in mind. of course, it's a palace that runs on trying to make sure the head is the most popular instead of using the popularity for good. a business' when it comes to they deem lesser but still want those lesser to treat them like family.
and as said, the UK court of law, also excused Meghan, had Jason release all of the information that showed the entire story.
and the sussex's patterns are far less different or changed than the media that people like to consume and use as the gotcha against them.
Meghan made Kate cry = 10 different versions, ones that also came out and changed when Meghan stated that she had a note. That was then worked into the story by the British media.
Kate made Meghan cry = two versions, one just saying had it happened and one official version from a person actually close to the story.
And given Kate's behavior at the 2020 Commonwealth, before her name was ever brought up (and brought up in a good way, giving her the cover of being some powerless little lady), it's not hard to believe that instead of going to the tailor's like all of the other parents, she instead chose to harass a bride over dresses so they could be done the way she (kate) wanted WHILE saying that knew Meghan was going through things and reducing another woman to tears.
So, as people chose to believe the sussex's are evil incarnate who have 0 points and nothing bad was done to them, I chose to believe the former who's only spoken about it twice.
And only one version of the entire thing lead to a black woman being called a slave on KP's instagram comments while they did nothing (but they will be sure to delete comments about roses) while there are real creditable right wing threats to said woman's life.

Prince Harry is More Popular Than Prince William in U.S. (https://www.newsweek.com/prince-harry-more-popular-prince-william-us-kate-middleton-poll-1811664)
QuotePrince Harry is now more popular in America than Prince William, seven months after his memoir sent his approval rating into free fall.
The Duke of Sussex was liked by 48 percent and disliked by 24 percent during the second quarter of 2023, giving him a net approval rating of +24, according to data collected by YouGov.
Prince William was liked by 43 percent and disliked by 21 percent over the same three-month period, giving him a net approval rating of +22. Kate Middleton was more popular than both, however, liked by 46 percent and disliked by 11 percent, putting her on +35.
The data comes from roughly 1,500 interviews conducted between April and June, a different methodology to standard surveys, which generally run over a few days.
YouGov's figures are a significant boost for the duke in the aftermath of the collapse of his Spotify deal, which saw him and Meghan Markle labeled "f****** gifters" by Bill Simmons, an executive at the streaming platform.
However, Harry is yet to recover the popularity he held prior to the release of his book Spare in January 2023 and Netflix documentary the month earlier.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex popularity & fame | YouGov (https://today.yougov.com/topics/international/explore/public_figure/Meghan_Duchess_of_Sussex)
I don?t particularly take notice of popularity polls but I trust YouGov more than most. So this makes pleasant reading for me.
Prince Harry is More Popular Than Prince William in U.S. (https://www.newsweek.com/prince-harry-more-popular-prince-william-us-kate-middleton-poll-1811664)
Really? Simce whem did America start to have a royal family? Harry lives im America, William lives way across the pomd amd he could care less about a popularity comtest I thimk as he does have more importamt thimgs im his life. Tabloids are just tryimg to create drama amd trouble for amyome who cam make them momey is what this article is all about.
@Nightowl - I personally don't consider Newsweek to be a tabloid like The Sun, The Daily Mirror or the Daily Mail. Here's the link to the article that
@Curryong and I both shared Prince Harry is More Popular Than Prince William in U.S. (https://www.newsweek.com/prince-harry-more-popular-prince-william-us-kate-middleton-poll-1811664). The Newsweek article is just reporting the results of the quarterly results that You Gov U.S. does much like You Gov UK. Here at RIF we regularly share these types of poll results.
What I am a bit surprised about is that the Princess of Wales was the most popular, I thought in the U.S. that Prince Harry might have an edge. Also that three British citizens (Catherine, Harry, William) polled higher in favorability than the American citizen (Meghan.) However both the Sussexes saw a major drop in popularity in the U.S. post-Spare, so she might need more time to recover.
Thamk you very much for the imfo, to me they are all the ome amd the same. Polls, well that is just a bumch of people expressimg their opioms like we do here.....the Daily Mail is the worst. I dom't believe tabloids, or amythimg the media says about royals, it has to come from them or BP first for me to believe amd I dom't thimk that amy royal or BP would commemt om what a tabloid or media article says. Who cares who is more popular tham the mext guy, that is just a way to stir the pot imho.
Oh, my computer keys are mot workimg today so please bear with me im my spellimg......mot spemdimg $900 to fix a darm key either.....
You're welcome
@Nightowl . Sorry about your keyboard. That must be very annoying.
They are all below the approval rating, 50 being half of the respondents. The point difference between other competitors as called by survey specialists is successful IF there is 10 point difference, which is not the case. I am actually surprised that W and C have any ratings in the USA.
I think this poll is usefull for Harry and his team who lives stateside mostly for his career and according to his own words, ''I feel at home''. So business wise, these surveys help his team to improve and get those 2 points to reach 50, and up, stability. IF he had it up and after Spare went down, then they need to rethink and re-asses and reinvent him or the old Harry with little fixing here and there, cause he also said he disliked and was forced to work and travel for the BRF, Monarchy, Foreign Office, Trade Office, etc.

Harry?s visa applications will remain private as the Heritage Trust applications for the documents to go public is refused for a second time.
?Publishing the records would be "clearly unwarranted", US President Joe Biden's administration said in a filing, stating Harry's "right to privacy".
There wasn't "sufficient public interest" to release the visa application, it added.?
Fury as 'outrageous' US government refuses to reveal details of Prince Harry?s visa application on privacy grounds | The Sun (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22985082/prince-harry-visa-application-us-government/)
?DHS said that it would only release the material if there was strong evidence of ?government impropriety? rather than a ?bare suspicion of misconduct? as was alleged.
DHS said: ?Information that may have subjected a traveler to additional scrutiny at one time has the possibility of being considered untimely and irrelevant at a later date.
?Given these facts, one person?s CBP entry and exit records, even a famous person?s, is insufficient evidence to undermine public confidence in CBP and its application of equal justice under the law?.? End Quote.
The government probably gave an exemption rather than he lied on his visa application. Harry openly admits he uses drugs. That's a no-no for a foreign national.

I tend to believe that Prince Harry has received an exemption especially in light of his revelations regarding drug use.
If a poll sights 2,000 people out of a country of 331.9 million as of 2021...then polling is stupid and pointless.
And I say this even if the polls supports Harry. Polling does not matter in the US unless you are or are running to be an elected official. What you need, is people willing to support you and they have it. Just like the YouGov polls in the UK are stupid in polling for two people who are no longer working for the Monarchy and don't live in the country. Non-working members like Zara, The York sisters and their spouses and other members are reported on or polled as often (I think I've seen Zara like once) so it doesn't matter. The UK still listened to Meghan's podcast for it to be number one, they still read Spare, they still helped boost the numbers for the doc and that is what matters.
I would also like people to remember for as much as they're trying to shame Biden, Harry's visa application was accepted under the Trump admin, if they really want to be mad at someone.
Also, saying yes to have taken drugs, does not mean you won't be allowed in the country, because it ask if you've been convicted of any drug charges. Famous people from heh, the UK and other countries who've openly admitted to taking drugs and are in the US all of the time or live here.
The difference is, Harry has proven that he's not interested in returning to the UK. Dan Wotton has admitted that since the Sussex's left the UK, it's harder to get news and information about them, thankfully, Cali isn't as leaky as the palace and they'd rather for him back to the UK without his wife and kids preferably. There is something insidious about that too but I'm not going to to go into it too much, I just side eye.
It also doesn't help that the people trying to get this info are apart of a right-wing think tank.
Also, is the Archie and Lili sub-forum locked. I tried to follow the link because I have thoughts about that too.

Meghan Markle broke cover on Friday to check out her local farmer's market, days after her explosive Netflix docuseries with Prince Harry failed to score any Emmy nominations.
The Duchess of Sussex was spotted stopping by the Montecito Farmer's Market near the couple's $14.7million mansion, but went without her husband, exclusive DailyMail.com photos show.
The 41-year-old was instead accompanied by her security detail and one of her beloved pet beagles, despite the market's rule prohibiting dogs.

Well it is a tabloid article so we can believe it or not. Yet in some ways I wonder if Harry is learning about life the very hard way, when working and being a member of the Firm, your taken care of totally, he threw it all away for what is called *Financial Freedom* and that comes with a whole set of rules he knew nothing about. Thinking it would be easy street all because he was a royal prince. First the Bank of Dad shut him down as after all he is a grown man who should work to support his family like so many zillions of people do.....my advice to Harry.....go dig some ditches for it will strengthen your muscles and most of all **your mind** to realize life is not always am easy street.
I do not believe it.

I doubt it. And media stories that the Sussexes are desperately scraping around for money is imo very very missing the mark.
https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/royals/emotional-blackmail-huge-problem-with-calls-for-meghan-to-forgive-her-family/news-story/72eb280be7c81df3810039ffe08356c1
?Five birthdays have come and gone for Thomas Markle since he last spoke to his daughter,? Kay writes, like a man secretly hoping for a call from Mills & Boon.
?Of all the broken relationships that have marked Meghan and Prince Harry?s life since their split from the Royal Family, the cruellest, surely, is how they discarded the duchess?s father.
?Not only has he never met his son-in-law, but he has also been robbed of his role as grandfather to Archie and Lilibet.?
This is just the latest instance of some of those in the British media especially who seem remarkably ready to buy Thomas? innocent naive retiree routine ? that he was some unsophisticated goober who, back in 2016, was trapped in the maw of the world?s press and a man who only staged paparazzi photos for cash in some misguided attempt to wrest back control.?
Then there is the Mail?s Dan Wootton, currently facing his own issues, who has repeatedly castigated the duchess over her attitude towards Daddy Dearest.
Thomas, Wootton has written, ?lives in hope that one day his daughter will end the estrangement before his death, which he openly predicts will come in the next three years.?
(When Markle appeared on Australian 60 Minutes earlier this year, Wootton tweeted, ?So glad Thomas Markle is getting his voice back?, like he was some sort of falsely imprisoned Iranian women?s rights activist, not a retiree who probably has half the world?s breakfast TV shows? numbers stored in his phone and his own YouTube channel).
And yet where is the same attitude when it comes to King Charles, William and Kate? Are we regularly treated to impassioned pieces demanding that they forgive the Sussexes for having taken their family drama and turned it into a Netflix hit?
Do they often face leading columnists and writers penning lengthy pieces detailing how their refusal to overlook Harry and Meghan?s large-scale breaching of their privacy makes them look like huge meanies?
More Coverage
?Embarrassing? new blow for Harry, Meghan
?Something?s changed?: Huge Meghan claim
Of course not.
Meghan and Harry not excusing Thomas and welcoming him with open arms is just held up as proof of how selfish and unfeeling they are ? and yet when the royal family does exactly the same thing, it is presented as being morally superior and virtuous and oh-so-strong.?
I agree with every bit of this.
The Sussexes haven?t ?spoken out? about dozens and dozens of articles in the tabloid Press slamming them, making them look bad etc.
As for wanting the ?prestige? of travelling on Air Force One back to the US, my previous arguments against them making such a request still stand.
Also
They were at that Memorial Service at St George?s as senior members of the RF. They sat next to the Wales family. Meghan was, and remains incidentally, the third adult royal female in precedence in the Royal Family. Harry is of course the third adult male in form of precedence as well.
Why would they ask for some sort of privileged travel when they occupy those sort of positions already as senior royals in the BRF? And yes, I know they aren?t working royals. But Harry and Meghan are still son and daughter in law to the King, who only has two sons.
And Jill Biden did not attend a ?private function? at Disney. Disney provided the facilities and therefore hosted it. However it was a 2023 seminar allied to the Warrior Games, and Dr Biden certainly did not attend in order to avoid meeting Harry. That is a quite ridiculous imputation to put on it. She?s been involved with the Warrior Games for well over a decade.
Joe Biden is, at the end of everything, an elected official. At one point, if he doesn?t die in office, he will be an ex President, and Mrs Biden will be an ex President?s wife. That is not some sort of glorified position like a god on earth.
And from the Mirror online.
There is always talk that Meghan tips paps etc off as to where she will be in order to get her photo out there. Not according to the female photographer who snapped her recently at the Farmers Market and speaks about it in the article below. .
Meghan and Harry mortified as they're 'BANNED' from private members' club in Montecito - Mirror Online (https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/us-celebrity-news/meghan-harry-mortified-theyre-banned-30519508?int_source=nba)
By the way, the Sussexes haven?t been banned from any private club, at Montecito or anywhere else.
^ I don't know if they were banned, I guess if they do not go to the San Vicente club ever again, then Lady Hervey was speaking the truth.
^^^That poor author having to write a hit piece for a pay check- her top proof is Thomas hired the Sussex friendly backgrid guy for photo ops.

I have two dogs, I have neighbours and friends who say their dogs are well behaved and never will bark, bite, pee or poo where they shouldn't. Never believe it will never happen. There are some states in the USA where the owner in any random public areas - due to lack of rain - have to carry a water bottle to wash the pee, other than the poo bag. Where I live, dog with no leash - the misdeamenor is 72 hours of jail, pet is confiscated or pay the penalty which to put it simple, all lawful penalties in this country is VERY steep. Then there's also CCTV all over the place, a neighbour vs another farther away neighbour won her dog bite case, the farther neighbour had to pay all vet expenses, gov court expenses, on and on.
Media outlets are now starting to report that Lady (use the term loosely) Victoria Hervey?s claim that Meghan and Harry have been banned from an exclusive LA club due to breaking rules, was just a load of bs. The couple are still ?more than welcome? there.
Insider rejects embarrassing claims about Meghan Markle, Prince Harry (https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1094391-insider-rejects-embarrassing-claims-about-meghan-markle-prince-harry)
She went on GB News and uttered a baseless rumour that she had heard ?from someone telling her? about that banning. Even Neil Sean has called her out on it and questioned why the news channel haven?t yet refuted it. But of course anything that makes the Sussexes look bad in any way is acceptable on that channel.
Lady Victoria should stick to defending her great ex lover and friend Prince Andrew and leave other people?s lives alone if she doesn?t have a viable source for her gossip, imo. Or she might end up getting sued, perhaps by Andrew?s victim Virginia G (whom he paid out) whom she accused of concocting a fake photo to establish her claim. In fact that photo of Andrew and victim was far from fake even if Ldy V can?t see it.

Did I say that the article credited Neil Sean with anything? No I didn?t. And whether Sean picked up gossip that Ldy Victoria didn?t and doesn?t know what the heck she is talking about with regard to the Sussexes, is neither here nor there.
The fact is that this supporter of Andrew and his behaviour sat in a TV studio as some sort of so-called royal expert, and began a rumour that was printed in countless media outlets, and the whole thing was baseless. So let?s hope GB news viewers know exactly how viable her reports are in future. Though I?m not holding my breath!
I wasn't referring to you, I was referring the article, an exclusive should be mentioned by the journalist/editor of that article. The originator denying Lady Hervey was Neil Sean. Basically the Thenews.com.pk from Pakistan stole the exclusive from a British reporter.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited in 2018.

They were greeted with cheers from well-wishers in the area where Harry, 34, derives his dukedom.The couple visited Chichester, Brighton and Bognor Regis in the county of Sussex.
^ Thanks for that info, your so much better at finding things then me even on google. Well at least they both visited Essex before they left, still I don't see the need for titles as they are not working royals anymore. Status, egos, whatever..........all to up the ante if they want something.

Show business is one of the most insecure professions on the face of the earth. People who enter it, whether as actors, musicians or anything else, aren?t people who are terribly worried about security and a weekly pay cheque. If they were then they?d go into accounting, dentistry, office work, something that does offer that sort of financial support. It?s often a vocation and people in the performing arts feel driven to do it.
So no, I don?t think that Meghan regrets the move. She regarded her time being told what to do and say by Palace officials as stressful I would say, and especially as she was in a new country as a new wife and mother.
I think Harry does probably finds that kind of thing as challenging as he grew up in a very structured way, many relatives including his own father working within the confines of the Royal Household, and then he went into the army, again the same thing. So I do believe that Harry finds everything still very new, quite scary at times and challenging. However, as I do not believe he will ever leave his wife or allow his children to grow up without a father 24/7 as he did, he is going to have to find a way to make it work in the US. He certainly knows that Meghan will never want to live in the UK fulltime or perform royal duties ever again and I don?t believe he wants that either, whatever the British media say. .

Essex and Sussex are two very different English counties, and don?t have that much in common with each other either. And as for territorial titles, you didn?t see the Cambridges constantly visiting the University city of Cambridge, nor do the Wales family spend all their time in Wales. Same for the Edinburghs, Yorks, Kents, Gloucesters and others, royal and not.

@Nightowl-Here's a good map of the counties found in England.
Counties of England (Map and Facts) | Mappr (https://www.mappr.co/counties/counties-of-england/)
They are both sometimes considered part of the Home Counties, that is, counties very much bordering London and being partly subsumed by that city, though I really wouldn?t place Sussex or Berkshire or Buckinghamshire in that category. Essex certainly is.
From Wiki
The third edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (2010) defines the term as "the English counties surrounding London, into which London has extended. They comprise chiefly Essex, Kent, Surrey, and Hertfordshire.? Parts of all of those historic counties are, since 1965, officially within London, although no part of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire or Sussex is. The county of Sussex is also wholly outside, and Berkshire almost wholly outside, the route of the M25 motorway, which is often treated as an unofficial perimeter of Greater London, and some definitions mention that those counties are not always included amongst the home counties,[10] or that the term has been extended to include them.[1

What could have been. A view from Valentine Low, no admirer of the Sussexes, who nevertheless points out that Africa could have been a marvellous solution.
?No matter who or when someone had the light bulb moment of sending the duke and duchess off out to find their bliss a whole continent away from the Palace, it would have been the perfect solution ? the duke and duchess could have escaped the spotlight to do the work they cared about.?
According to Low, things fell down because of issues with funding and security arrangements.
Meanwhile, in Spare, Harry writes that while the late Queen ?signed off?, his father had told him ?to put it in writing, which I?d done immediately. Within a few days it was in all the papers and caused a huge stink?.
However, just imagine how different things would look today if Out of Africa: Sussex Edition had come off. Spare would likely not exist and Harry and Meghan?s biggest Netflix concern would probably be Fergie having made off with their account password.
But
Low identifies Palace ?inertia? as being one of the points where things fell down in the lead up to Megxit and which contributed to le cataclysme Sussex. (Like the Big Bang but with more for mantras and phone calls to Oprah).
According to the Courtiers author, ?the first signs that things were going wrong with Harry and Meghan were evident about a year before they left?.
However, what was crucially lacking was that ?no one was really in charge of dealing with the problem. The people who worked immediately for Harry and Meghan ?[were] struggling to deal with it.?
?The people ultimately in charge of the palace ? Harry hated them and they hated Harry and Meghan, as they would certainly admit in private. There was no one person who [was] going to take charge of it and just take the situation by the scruff of the neck.
?I think it could have ended more happily. I think Harry and Meghan would still have left but it could have been dealt with a lot better.?
Instead, as we all know now, the situation was left to fester until things erupted, Vesuvius-?
The Queen?s PS at the time, Sir Edward Young, was one of those who ha**d Meghan and Harry. He appears as one of the three insects in ?Spare?. He was certainly no conciliator, no Sir Christopher Geidt.

What could have been. A view from Valentine Low, no admirer of the Sussexes, who nevertheless points out that Africa could have been a marvellous solution.
?No matter who or when someone had the light bulb moment of sending the duke and duchess off out to find their bliss a whole continent away from the Palace, it would have been the perfect solution ? the duke and duchess could have escaped the spotlight to do the work they cared about.?
According to Low, things fell down because of issues with funding and security arrangements.
Meanwhile, in Spare, Harry writes that while the late Queen ?signed off?, his father had told him ?to put it in writing, which I?d done immediately. Within a few days it was in all the papers and caused a huge stink?.
However, just imagine how different things would look today if Out of Africa: Sussex Edition had come off. Spare would likely not exist and Harry and Meghan?s biggest Netflix concern would probably be Fergie having made off with their account password.
But
Low identifies Palace ?inertia? as being one of the points where things fell down in the lead up to Megxit and which contributed to le cataclysme Sussex. (Like the Big Bang but with more for mantras and phone calls to Oprah).
According to the Courtiers author, ?the first signs that things were going wrong with Harry and Meghan were evident about a year before they left?.
However, what was crucially lacking was that ?no one was really in charge of dealing with the problem. The people who worked immediately for Harry and Meghan ?[were] struggling to deal with it.?
?The people ultimately in charge of the palace ? Harry hated them and they hated Harry and Meghan, as they would certainly admit in private. There was no one person who [was] going to take charge of it and just take the situation by the scruff of the neck.
?I think it could have ended more happily. I think Harry and Meghan would still have left but it could have been dealt with a lot better.?
Instead, as we all know now, the situation was left to fester until things erupted, Vesuvius-?
The Queen?s PS at the time, Sir Edward Young, was one of those who ha**d Meghan and Harry. He appears as one of the three insects in ?Spare?. He was certainly no conciliator, no Sir Christopher Geidt.
I really don't need a lecture on the Sussex's.........
Why is this article a lecture, or indeed aimed at you?
I saw the article this morning and decided to link it here in the Team Sussex thread, which was set up in this forum for any news or articles favourable or conciliatory to the Sussexes. It?s not in the Iffy Wiffy thread.
And copying what Valentine Low states (he wrote the anti Sussex book ?Courtiers?) and wrote, does not constitute a lecture on anything. Plus the journalist on AU NEWS who wrote the article publishing what Low said, isn?t a Sussex supporter at all, either.
I took it as a lecture as I get lots of lectures on the Sussex's.........well okay, whatever......you love them as we all know and I really can't stand them for all they do is *LIE* as we all know, so long comments don't sit well with me as I think I need new glasses..........moving on to the Food Guy and my Recipe Tin Eats and her dog Dozer. Have you heard of them for they are in your country?
I have heard of RecipeTin eats. My younger daughter is a bit of a foodie and has been to her website and tried a couple of her Asian recipes. The Food Guy not so much. Is he the young Wisconsin bloke on TikTok who likes trying all sorts of foods?

I have the new cookbook by Recipe Tin Eats and I love their shirred eggs and so many of their other recipes. I don't eat meat so I am careful of what to cook, meat is hard for me and my body, digestive issues that have affected me all my life....Oh the Food Guy is a Chicago Middle Age Man......still haven't been to any of the places he promotes. Guess he is okay for the rich and famous crowd here. I have a place I like to go to as I have been going there for years and know the staff and the crowd, a basement hidden gem for the local people, mot the tourist crowd.

That is indeed very cute. And it emphasises again what others who have met Meghan and Harry face to face have said many times. That she (and Harry) are natural, kind, listen to others and are indeed very very sweet.

Or two american citizens who I assume don't have a connection with the British anything, were on a podcast together. In which they talked about their own experience mentioned an experience they had together that involved Meghan.
It also wasn't bombarded on social media. The podcast themselves didn't mention it or post it to twitter. A fan found it and posted the clip that was about Meghan.
There is nothing wrong with rehab campaigns. Connect the dots with WMA.

Prince Harry called in divorce lawyers 'months ago', claims Lady Colin Campbell - Scottish Daily Express (https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/celebrity-news/prince-harry-called-divorce-lawyers-30081767)
?The problem is that the information doesn't necessarily match up with their public face. But of course, their public face is to an extent slapped on for monetary gain.
"And also if there are real problems in the marriage, which there do appear to be, Harry's going to have a heck of a time extricating himself, because he has been very overt about all of his failings and all of his drug-taking."
If that?s not hinting that Harry was seeking a divorce I don?t know what is! Of course the lying old bat has been back pedalling for weeks now because it?s been proved she (and Levin and the rest) don?t know what they?re talking about.

What next for Harry and Meghan '' reality TV''
Although the Sussexes' attempts to crack America have stalled, they are still box office and should switch up their PR strategy, experts advise
''Hollywood,'' a US media executive said this week about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, 'loves a comeback'. It was a quote laden with significance, not least because it implied that the couple's recent setbacks, including the end of their deal with Spotify, have been so calamitous that they needed a boost to revive their career.
But as the duchess turns 42 and the duke embarks on a series of overseas appearances, has the time come for some kind of relaunch to turn their fortunes around.
After arriving in California to much fanfare more than three years ago at a time when the streaming services and studios were cash-rich and eager to throw money at celebrities, the couple signed high-profile deals with Spotify and Netflix.
However, as the money in the entertainment industry has dried up, the couple's attempts to crack America appear to have stalled.
In June Spotify announced its deal with the couple was coming to an end amid grumblings about the Sussexes' output, or lack thereof.

She also stated that she will keep on saying what sources tell her followed/plus her opinion about whatever news she's talking about.

And how exactly does Lady CC know what is ?real? and what is not? She doesn?t know Harry and she certainly doesn?t know Meghan. She doesn?t live in California. And of course she doesn?t want to get sued for libel. The point is (if this person has any point) is that she listens to gossip in England and if it?s anti Sussex she runs with it for a while in interviews on GB news and on her YouTube Channel, to see if anything sticks, as she loathes the couple. Great way to make a living!
And as for happy marriages, how would this character know anything about such a subject? Is she thirty years into a successful union with children of the marriage she gave birth to herself? No! Her one marriage lasted a few months before her husband left her. There?s been no love relationship since. And she adopted two Russian orphans. None of that gives her the slightest insight into the dynamics of a happy marriage, bringing children into the world and bringing them up within a happy marital relationship.
I?ve been married twice and my first marriage produced three children I gave birth to. The marriage was happy until the last eighteen months. I divorced. I?m now over twenty years into a very happy second marriage. And even with all that experience I wouldn?t dream of commenting in public on other people?s relationships especially those I do not know. Pity Lady CC doesn?t do the same.
And she has been quite happy in the past to hint quite strongly that Meghan has never given birth and used surrogates. What would she know about any of it. Has she ever been in any birthing suite with the Sussexes? No! But she is quite content to hint at absolute rubbish on the Internet about it. .

^ Monday, Barbie with some girlfriends

Her birthday was Friday. So the fact that she went to see a film with girl friends on Monday or had a meal with them later is neither here nor there. If I go to the movies with girlfriends on the week of my birthday without my husband I suppose that would mean my marriage is in trouble, lol! Husband and wife spent Wednesday night having a nice meal together and there is every indication (nothing to the contrary) that Meghan spent her actual birthday (Friday) with her husband and children.
So the headline to this, that Meghan spent her birthday away from her husband, is a misleading lie. As is usual with the media where the Sussexes are concerned.

I just wanted to emphasize that the US media are making headlines that should trigger the Sussexes - related to their past triggering with UK media.
ETA: The conversation today is Meghan isn't wearing her engagement ring since the couple's almost catastrophic car crash at NYC.
IMO it's not a big deal that as a parent of young children that Meghan isn't wearing her engagement ring. She might find it easier to not wear it if she's being active with the kids and pets, so it's likely safely stashed somewhere secure.

Yes, my daughter doesn?t wear her engagement ring very often. Its quite valuable and a rather odd triangular shape. She has young twins, sails sometimes as I do, and its just too awkward to wear around boats, playing beach games with the kids and the dog, etc. It was a family heirloom owned by my son in law?s grandmother who was given it by her husband when they were newlyweds, so it would be devastating if it got lost.
Personally I didn't wear mine when my children were toddlers/pre-schoolers on a daily basis. Even today I tend to keep it off when I'm working with in a Pre Kinder or Kindergarten class because of the hands on activities.
Maybe she wants the social media/mainstream media attention and chatter.
Her latest outings:
NYC Red carpet Hertz walk/Award/Almost catastrophic car crash: Yes wedding ring, no engagement ring
San Isidro Ranch phone call/Pre recorded May 2023 at that location/participants location: No wedding ring, no engagement ring
Montecito Italian Restaurant Wednesday 2th Aug 2023: No wedding ring, no engagement ring
For what it's worth, in the celebrity world, the lack of is operative to bombshell news soon, usually 1-3 months. As I've said in the past in the RIF, I am one that thinks they will never separate or divorce. They need each other, their situation vs the world is too hard to handle independently.
But a lot of women don?t wear wedding or engagement rings for a variety of reasons. Pregnancy is one of them. Meghan didn?t wear her engagement ring on her finger at various times during her pregnancy in Australasia/Pacific. I believe she didn?t wear it at times when the couple did their tour of Africa. On neither of those occasions was Meghan in need of publicity.
On South African royal tour. No engagement ring. Did Meghan need the publicity. Hardly!

Sometimes fingers swell in heat as in Australia?s summer. My engagement ring becomes extremely tight in the summer, as does my wedding ring. I can get my engagement ring off with a bit of effort but not my wedding ring. It?s stuck there in heat. In the past though both rings have slid down on occasion in cold weather, especially when I was younger, so much so that I was afraid I would lose them and had to wear a guard. Fingers change with age.
And there are plenty of people, celebrities and others who don?t wear either. That doesn?t mean they?re dissatisfied with their marriage or want people discussing them because of it. Sometimes rings get taken off in the bathroom and just get left. There?s no great conspiracy about it.

Okay..........LOL
The rights to make a film about a book costing GBP3 Million is very much high stakes. The couple are banking on this future film. There is no doubt about it, IF they fail to deliver with that cost, the only other way is to resell the rights to film the book to another party. IMO the cost is too high and very high risk too. Add later the cost of the entire 'movie'....
The author came out today saying she is a Sussex fan and cried when they got married. Creepy side/story of the book is a parent dying, a son with mental health issues - drugs, a woman with post natal depression, a love story.
^ A happy business family between all parties related and involved with WMA and Penguin Random House, IOW the author of the book and the Sussexes - both parties work with the agent and the book company6, so from my above comment, there is a high probablity that no moneys were paid but will be IF a film is done.

What is Meghan supposed to be doing? Sitting twiddling her hands at home? She and a female friend went to a concert. Big deal! I went to a huge Michael Jackson concert with a couple of girlfriends without my husband. What a disgrace!
Taylor Swift will be coming to Australia on her tour for a few gigs. Tickets to her shows sold out in a matter of a few hours.
I honestly only read that 'Meghan went to Taylor Swift's concert with a friend. I do not know if People Mag and NY Post were criticizing her for having girlfriend time.
Until I see if H sticks with the Hollywood route or not, the first article before the bombarding of puff pieces, the first article notifying WME is the agent of only Meghan, the first article originated from the USA that stated 1. Meghan/WME, her career. 2 Harry really never wanted to do Hollywood (Netflix), be a Celeb - he only wants to do charity (his old life that he trashed of being forced to work, now he likes the old grass). Only until....will I believe the first article. It's hard to keep up with these two. The change of directions and dynamics. Only royal watchers, the basic news reader, there is no way.

So that means that the world is cheering England on. Hardly! England?s not that popular! Columbia is a country like most in South/Central America that takes its sport seriously. Their fans on SM would be discussing it. So would English fans though not in enormous numbers, it?s news about men?s soccer that holds sway there.
So let?s just take a look at some other numbers, eh.
Population of Columbia. Approx 51 and a half million
Population of GB 67. 33 million.
Population of Australia 26 and a half million approx.
So all in all, taking in those figures, it?s hardly surprising that the SM numbers were drowning out Aus fans and the Matildas? achievement. Though not on the soccer pitch! The Matilda?s won 2-O in a friendly against England in April.

Meghan?s mother is African American, and has a very brown skin. Of course a bi-racial person is not going to be completely white.
Other than the bronzers, which people have analyzed because missing bronzer tanning at some spots, my comment really had to do with the eyes. She genuinely looks happy in this picture. Eyes to smile is authentic.

Can you point out when she's wearing 10 coats of a spray tan?
As Curry said and I'll repeat. Meghan doesn't need to wear 10 coats of a spray tan to be brown, she just needs to be in the sun. Her mother is a Black/African American woman. She is bi-racial and even if could be missed that she's a mixed (white and black woman) she's a woc.

Take a trip on the "way back machine" to see Meghan in an uncredited role from "Married with Children." She can be seen in a background shot from the hit TV comedy from the 1990's. Meghan's father Thomas Markle was the lighting director for the show.

QuoteMeghan made her acting debut in an uncredited role in the Season 9 episode titled The Undergraduate. It aired way back in 1995, and she played a student.
Thank you Thomas Markle. :vday2:
Many people working in Hollywood in roles or on the tech side squeeze their children into something onscreen. It?s hardly nepotism if a child is uncredited, unpaid, has no speaking role and is in the background in a scene. What is that article meant to convey? That Thomas was using undue influence and power? That Meghan was on her way to superstardom due to her father being a lighting director on one TV show, lol?
Because there is absolutely no evidence that Thomas Markle did AnyThing for Meghan as a young adult in her twenties. She struggled and attended endless auditions just like hundreds of thousands of young actors trying to get a foothold in the profession.

You are not really suggesting that Meghan was a Nepo baby are you? If she had been, then Thomas?s help would have continued on into her twenties and even thirties. She would have had dozens more roles in film and TV than she ever got.

The episode aired in May 1995 so I'm guessing that it was filmed in 1994. Meghan was probably in 8th or 9th grade then. It must have been fun to be in front of the camera on a set that she spent so many days after school. :happy:

Yes, nothing more, nothing less and some make it seem like hell broke loose.
It's time to move on from the "Nepo baby" discussion.
And there?s nothing to thank Thomas Markle for unless it?s discovered that he got her cast in Suits or the other shows she?s been on. But why miss a chance to swipe at Meghan and be nasty to her? Hmm, I find it funny that people display the behaviors they accuse Meghan of having.
Moving on from the discussion but re-stating, there is entire sub dedicated to being mean, snarky, swipping at & and making smart remarks for the Sussex?s called the Iffy or something other for all of the people who dislike like them.
If would be nice to that negativity in that sub, let the people who enjoy the Sussex, enjoy this one.
I tend to think that Meghan happened to be around when the casting director needed teens for the dance scene. The director likely knew her from when she was around the set and that she was interested in acting. I'm sure that it was an exciting experience, though having to wait around between takes was probably a bit tedious.
However IMO, having a parent who was part of the technical crew and regularly brought her to the set certainly didn't hurt.
Whatever their relationship is at the present, I have to say that Meghan's parents did their best to provide her with an excellent education and the opportunities to participate in a number of extra curricular activities.

There are facts in life that belong in the Team Sussex, at that time when Meghan was 13
@TLLK is right, aired March 1995 - and as what I said, a minor age, she still would need a permit by California law to work as a minor. Period. Nothing more, nothing less. Thank you Thomas Markle.
Meghan also before meeting Harry, wrote wonderful things about her father in her blog The Tig.
For Suits, she was of age, she doesn't need permission from anyone to work. No one mentioned at Team Sussex - Thank you Thomas Markle for Suits, but solely for the Minor Age stint.
There are THINGS H or M or Both do that by critical analysis DOES NOT need to be IMO in the Iffy wif , but there at the Team Sussex thread. I have posted there at Team Sussex such type of news.
One can be critical, but there are instances too that there isn't anything to criticize.
Why would it be considred a Snark PREVIOUS 2016 for instance about Thomas Markle when Meghan herself wrote sweet notes about her father.
This is getting quite out of hand because some of us actually feel that one can post in both threads using our brains of what is and what not rather than be in an extreme cult of your in or out.

Meghan Markle's '$1m a post Instagram payday': Duchess of Sussex 'is preparing to re-launch herself on social media' and experts say she could earn millions - with 'everyone in Hollywood talking about it'
MAIL ON SUNDAY EXCLUSIVE: New Instagram profile simply called 'Meghan' appears on Meta-owned platform
Friends of the duchess already follow page as sources say: 'She's coming back'
By CAROLINE GRAHAM
Meghan is reportedly getting ready to 're-launch' herself on Instagram and experts predict she could make a million dollars per post.
The duchess, whose last account with husband Prince Harry, @sussexroyal, had 9.4 million followers before it was deactivated in 2020 when the couple quit being senior Royals, is said to be behind a new account named @meghan.
Decorated with a picture of pink peonies, reportedly Meghan's favourite flowers, a source close to her team this week confirmed: 'Yes, that's her. Expect an announcement very soon. She's coming back.'

Fair point.
There was a point in time which it seemed like Thomas cared about Meghan as just his daughter and he nurtured her interest in the arts and etc.
But I also do think a line should be drawn in which her father working on a lighting direction for a show, didn't help get her jobs in the future or while she was in school. That was Meghan's hard work and drive to keep auditioning until she found her solid home on Suits.
Credit to him when she was a child but her late teens/young adult/adult, that was all her. To her credit and such.

This is getting quite out of hand because some of us actually feel that one can post in both threads using our brains of what is and what not rather than be in an extreme cult of your in or out.
And I maintain that you, along with other commentors are snarky, mean, and take side-swipes. It happens so often, that it can be hard to tell when if something is just fact.
The two subs were created because of a division, and I still maintain that there is an entire sub so people to have let outlet and they can let Team Sussex, remain for people who are actually fans and etc.
As you've judged the Sussex's for their actions, when it comes to you, it doesn't seem as if you're posting just facts and seems mean spirited. And for that, there are two different subs to hold and keep that energy.
And whole point of the two threads was in or out. It would be nice to come into the sub and post without seeing people constantly side-swipe and etc then there is legit a sub for "The Iffy-Wiff Club: Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Candid talk on the Sussexes (for those who are undecided, skeptical, or indecisive about Harry and Meghan). Comments that are doubtful, dubious, betwixt, and between are welcome here." and people to put that energy in that sub. That caters to those needs. And fans, be fans, in this sub.
You ask why would it be considered snark? Due your previous comments and etc about the Sussex's, it's hard to believe that it's just a simple thank you thomas markle and not a dig.
I don't put all the eggs per se in one basket. I am capable of separating different subjects, items, issues and references of past and present of independently H or M or both, hence my comment on posting on both threads.
Your thought process on putting everything in one basket per se to me is being a full blown cult follower of in or out 'no matter what', I am not that person. 🤷🏻♀️ I actually think and my own POV/IMO being an in our out person in whatever things in and about life is problematic and mentally unhealthy.

And old video but new to me of the Suits cast/friends singing on their way to H&M wedding
https://twitter.com/VanessaNguyen28/status/1694401602071695476?s=20
I do remember the video of the happy Suits cast singing and chatting. There was so much nasty talk afterwards about celebrities who didn?t know the bride or groom at that wedding that it was great to see people who did know Meghan, who had worked with her and liked her, really enjoying attending her wedding. Thank you for posting that!
And of course Meghan worked hard while she was on the Royal roster. We saw her get really into it after her engagement, meeting and greeting people in Scotland, Wales and in England. And it continued after the wedding. Different and unusual ideas no-one in the RF had thought of before to really help people in their everyday lives, the clothing and the cook book. All the while under enormous pressure from the Palace and tabloids.
And Thank You Thank You, Audra McDonald, for speaking out to praise Meghan. Public pressure stops so many from speaking out when they see oppression. The media bombardment on one couple in their first year of married life (especially on a woman who had her first baby) is like nothing I?ve seen in my lifetime. Totally and completely disgusting and uncalled for, especially by women journalists. One day they all might wake up to themselves though I doubt it.

Hear! Hear! I had no idea Audra spoke up about Meghan before but I'm glad she did during her pregnancy. Honestly, the hate doubled after that and I'm amazed Meghan managed it all. I'll always be thankful for her friends and family in America who did the baby shower for her. During a pregnancy women go through so much with their bodies, their own emotions and hormones, the fact that she had her tribe ready to step up and protect her, cover her with the love she was lacking.
People who hated her for it be damned, her mental health was more important than anything at that stage. Had she not had that, her post-partum might've been worse.

Meghan was present at SoFi Stadium for the third of three dates by Beyonc? on her Renaissance world tour. She was also at the first gig last Friday with Prince Harry.
Yep! She's already met both Kerry and Kelly so it was a re-meeting of sorts. It was also for the #BDAY concert, celebrating Beyonce's birthday and Meghan has been a huge fan. She was in a closer section with Tyler Perry...so she probs went ten times harder having fun

Friendship or work - it's Hollywood, meaning the IT thing to do is take pictures with other famous celebrities. Meghan is a 'go getter', which IMO means she will try and do her best with all the opportunities WME or herself find. Thumbs up to that for real.
^ I say this because new cellphone short videos and pictures have surfaced, from her second outing, the celeb front box/right infront of the Beyonce stage there is a waiting line to take pictures with Kerry and Kelly and another line to take pictures with the Kardashians. Meghan was making the line to take a picture with Kerry and Kelly, after the picture she moved on.

QuoteMeghan Markle and Prince Harry were among the big names who joined Kevin Costner at a One805 charity fundraiser in Santa Barbara, California, on Friday.
The actor hosted the One805LIVE! Fall 2023 fundraiser ? which was held in support of the first responder community and headlined by band Maroon 5 ? at his 1.4-acre beachfront estate, days after he and estranged wife Christine reached a settlement in their divorce.
Christine, 49, was not seen in attendance at the event, though her name is listed alongside Kevin's as hosts of the fundraiser on the charity's website, which detailed that the event would "take place on the oceanside estate of Kevin and Christine Costner."
One805 provides financial aid and mental health support to first responders, and in a video posted by the charity on Instagram, Kevin, who is also an ambassador of One805, appeared onstage with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they presented him with an award at the fundraiser.
Yes, in looking at the pictures of Meghan standing on one side of KC with Harry at her side, she was beaming with joy because she is finally in the right place she wants to be in her life and that is for sure not with any royals of the BRF either......best of luck to her and hope she stays right there with Hollywood and forgets the BRF for good. She got her title and tons of money........so she has fulfilled her dreams, well most of them anyway...yes you can guess it, I do not like Meghan as I saw right through her on her engagement day.
And, an interesting moment on the US Andy Cohen Show over in the US when one of the most well known and beloved British TV stars, Graham Norton, was over in the States recently.
He was asked about the feeling in the local UK population about Harry and Meghan. Just take note of what he says, which actually echoes what I have heard constantly from my large extended family and many old friends over there in Britain.
Harry, Meghan?s bad press has been a ?gift? to ?deified? William, Kate: Graham Norton - YouTube (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=svl90ARJWb4)
I don't think for one second that Meghan cares about bad press (good or bad press, either way she is in the news as that keeps her out there for all to see), she got what she wanted in life growing up in TV land with her dad, seeing how the rich and famous lived in Ca and she has achieved that by marrying a weak prince with some money and a title. Take a long good look at her smile at the KC event in Ca, with all those Hollywood stars.....absolutely NOTHING is going to stand in her way of being accepted and living there....that was and still is her goal in life and boy she got it. She will always be the Duchess of Essex's and use that title till the end of time...this is one woman who does absolutely nothing by chance.....Charles was right about her, she is tough as steel. Warm Hearted .........when pink pigs fly by..LOL.
Any fundraiser for emergency services is good in my books - even when the host throws shade and does some gaslighting. Some of the USD 12K per person are undesirable, but saying it out loud :lol:
Hollyweird for them and the poor firefighters that have to take this/depend on these people for their own wellbeing and livelihood. Meanwhile Oprah is being roasted for Maui.

I understand that most of the celebrities who were present are clients of WME- William Morris Endeavor PR firm. The PR firm played a role in organizing and of course would be there to promote the event.
BTW it's name ONE805LIVE comes from the Central Coast telephone area code that covers Oxnard, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo raising money for its first responders.

Doria is there to look after the two grandchildren and there may be a temporary nanny for Lili as well. Archie would be in kindergarten by now as he is nearly five, the age when most children in the US start. Here in Australia it?s a prep level to get children used to school routines. ?Preppies? usually enjoy the process. Harry and Meghan are probably back home by now, having had a few days alone together as a couple.

As
@Curryong pointed out, the children will have trusted caregivers to watch them. Their parents were in Europe a few weeks ago, so it's not like this is the first time that Archie and Lilibet have been taken care of by caregivers.
It's good that parents take a me holiday from children once or twice a year.
I read the criticism - comments about this second me holiday (Portugal after Invictus, Canouan after NYC), most are bite back comments using both Meghan and Harry's own comments about their respective parents and what not to do, which they are doing.
The couple returned to the U.S. via private jet to Atlanta, GA.

Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show the royal couple disembarking the plane and leaving the tarmac where they were greeted by staff and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents.
Prince Harry was in Austin, Texas over the weekend to enjoy some Formula One racing.
The Standard (https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/prince-harry-us-grand-prix-austin-texas-b1115248.html)
QuotePrince Harry was spotted enjoying the drama and a bit of time behind the scenes at the US Grand Prix.
The 39-year-old was in Austin, Texas, as a guest of the Mercedes and Red Bull teams at the major sporting event over the weekend.
At Mercedes, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails amid the building tension.
The Duke of Sussex has been something of a lucky charm for star driver Lewis Hamilton. He was a guest of Mercedes when Hamilton secured his second title in the 2014 season decider in Abu Dhabi, leading the congratulations to his fellow Briton on the radio.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton, who originally came second, was later disqualified after his car failed a post-race inspection. Not one to show favouritism, Prince Harry was also seen speaking with Red Bull team boss Christian Horner during the competition.
The Duke?s wife Meghan Markle, 42, was not in attendance. The pair have just returned from a romantic trip to Caribbean haven Canouan where they appeared to enjoy some child-free time away.
I wouldn?t say Harry and Meghan are doing what they spoke of, of their parents.
Harry isn?t carting his kids around on tours for good press or sending him out to get his wife good press. Or exchanging stories for them in the media for good press a la Charles.
And Meghan isn?t handing over her kids letters, drawings and etc to papers that were outwardly racist and bullying them like her father.
And they?ve never spoken, as far as I can remember saying that trips away and etc is wrong. Or that parents shouldn?t do it, so I?m unsure about what the bite back might or if those people commenting live in reality.
But Harry and Meghan have never said you can?t spend some time away from kids. Meghan, rightfully was hurt that her dad didn?t just speak to the media but worked with tabloids that couldn?t wait to the tell the UK about how she was almost out of Compton or mentioning gangster royalty.
And Harry doesn?t have a personal aid like Mark Bolland who admitted that instead of Charles standing by his sons side and standing up to News of The World instead allowed timelines to be fudged about Harry, stories lied about so Charles could get some good press. I would say though, if something were to even happen to Meghan while the kids are young, around their birthday and Harry sent them off to boarding school and then said they were going on a trip for it only be a tour?.then yeah, he?d be very much like Charles and people could bite back at him for doing what he said his father did.
Hmm, rather stark differences.
There was a Hello! podcast that was fine that I?m going to recap later.
Also, Byline Times released a report about The Monarchy, The Press and etc. So I?m going to come back and give my thoughts on that once I?m home from work but reading?.with family like that. And it confirmed a few things, one, Harry is way to nice and forgiving for those people for my taste. So is Meghan.
Two, I?m also glad it?s confirmed again that Harry, Meghan and Archie mattered less that Williams aid. So hopefully, that ?family? stick people keep trying to hit the Sussex?s with, will be put down because their family, was ready to through them under the buss at a moments notice.
Yeah, Meghan is way too nice as well because if we?re me, I wouldn?t be holding anything back after everything that happened.

Current and Former British Royal Staff members Part 2 (https://www.royalinsight.net/forum/index.php?topic=95046.0)
I'm certain all the articles worldwide about Harry's F1 appearance missed the most important reason he was there, but alas gossip has more clicks.
Harry is not a working royal - he was commercially working for BetterUp, he managed to convince George Russell, the second driver of Team Mercedes Petronas to use BU. Lewis Hamilton, the principal driver of Team Mercedes Petronas has his own personal team from coach, physio, stylist, therapist - you name it.
He went with his BU boss, they both were trying very hard to get other drivers or full teams to join. A full team is about 1500 employees on-site and combined with the factory. i.e. in UK two teams operate there - Red Bull Racing and Mercedes Petronas. i.e. in Italy Ferrari. The first example - some articles got it right that Harry and his boss visited both teams.
In reference to the children - Harry does not have to train and ease his children to be public figures. The comment section bite back had to do with the latest couple of holidays; Portugal and Canouan Island without their children. Anyway, IMO people are free to comment, Harry did the same in his book about W's children and their methodology of bringing them up, so each team have their defenders.
I'm a passionate F1 fan, I do not miss any race, practice, qualification... :D (this weekend F1 Mexico)
@wannable-I had no idea that there would be that many employees on a full team. Wow 1, 500 is an incredible number. "Talledega Nights" (Yes I know that is NASCAR) is obviously not a good reference for information on racing. :teehee:
As for Archie and Lilibet, no they currently do not need to be proficient in protocol or the expectations of appearing in public. Unlike Harry's cousins and their children/step-children, they reside in the U.S.A and there do not appear to be any plans in the near future for them to join in at public appearances ie Sandringham Christmas service or Trooping the Color.
By 2021, post pandemic Mercedes Petronas had 1200 employees, Red Bull Racing 1,000.
It all depends what each team does manufacture in their factory, RB is already developing their 'own' motor, hence increasing personnel. They are still using to date Honda, they also signed up with Ford. Each component of an F1 car is home-made or by 'partnering'. One would be amazed just the word 'developing' to date to goal of finish date could easily take from 2 to 3 years then keep on making it better and better, hence the competition, rules and regulations of weight, what can and can't be used. F1 is also doing their best every year to make it 'environmentally friendly'. I say this because someone VIP public made a mistake stating it's not friendly referring Harry to environment - and said it angrily too. I think more research before opening the mouth is very important. As I said I do not miss not one practice, qualification, race. I read the best sources and resources so yeah.
Smaller teams have about 300 (2021 data) to 500 employees.
i.e. Alpine Team is based in France, they have as of the data 2021 like Red Bull then 1,000.
I follow 'more detailed inside news from the drivers to factory what is and what not' 1. Red Bull Racing as a Max Verstappen super fan and 2. Mercedes Petronas as a admirer of Lewis Hamilton and at large curiosity of George Russell - who pushes and challenges big bro Lewis.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted during a trick-or-treating outing with their two children, Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two.
On Tuesday evening, the quartet looked closer than ever as they headed out near their home in Montecito. Archie held his dad's hand whilst he appeared to be dressed as a skeleton meanwhile, doting mum Meghan carried her daughter who was dressed in a billowing pink costume.

QuotePrince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted taking a private plane to Las Vegas with Cameron Diaz, Benji Madden and Zoe Saldana to watch Katy Perry's concert over the weekend.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex enjoyed a glitzy child-free night out as they watched the popstar perform one of her last residency concerts at Resorts World Theatre.
Both wearing black ensembles, Meghan, 42, commanded attention in a sparkly, gem-encrusted outfit, teamed with a blazer, while Harry, 39, wore a sophisticated suit and a matching shirt.
They were joined in the VIP section by Celine Dion - and both looked animated, standing up and cheering as the California Gurls singer took to the stage.
Ahead of the concert, Cameron Diaz and her rocker husband Benji Madden, Zoe Saldana and Marco Perego, David Katzenberg and Stellina Bickers, and Bumble dating-app founder Whitney Wolfe Herd and her husband Michael Herd were all seen arriving at Santa Barbara airport to take the same jet to Vegas.
And I hope everyone had a fabulous time. Harry was wearing ?a sophisticated suit?? What?s the difference between that an unsophisticated suit, lol. Anyway, Katy puts on a good show and I?m sure her audience enjoyed it.

LOL I'm guessing one of those Christmas pattern holiday "suits" might be unsophisticated, but since Harry's dressed in dark grey or black IMO that wouldn't qualify as unsophisticated. Yes I agree that Katy puts on a great show and I loved her performance at the Coronation Concert.
A residency in Las Vegas usually is the goodbye of a career. Katy Perry was great.
^^^Shhhh...don't tell Donny Osmond!!! He's extended his residency in Las Vegas through May 2024 :wink: He could teach all these youngsters a lesson or two. :lol:
Another one to revisit, nostalgia. It's all valid. Everyone has their favorite.
I would go for several rock and heavy metal bands. I did go to a Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) concert. Anything 'new', no. The reasons are usually revisit, nostalgia because the singer, band, musician is in your all time fav list.

Interesting, I would have expected that they would attend one in state as there are three NHL teams in California. Hope that they enjoyed their trip to B.C.
There is two types of speculation on their Vancouver trip; looking for a new home to live and/or prelude to Invictus Game 2025 which will be held at that city. Either way or both, the speculation DID start before this Ice Hockey game, as the couple were seen with Marcus Anderson, M friend.
The cost of living in Vancouver, Canada is 'average' 21% cheaper than the state of California.
@wannable-Now the trip makes sense, there would be a need to have an Invictus meeting in Vancouver. I tend to believe that is the reason for the visit over house shopping.
Quite, especially after the ousting of two very top executives in that organization.

So Thomas jnr is lying about his father but Thomas snr and Samantha would never lie about their failings, lol!
As for living upstairs at her father?s place, where?s the proof? That?s what she says, certainly. Leaving her own children of her first marriage to be brought up by their grandmother of course. Remember Ashleigh Hale, her eldest child, is only four years younger than Meghan, and Christopher Hale is about two years younger than that. So they were also teens but she rushed off back to her father?s home to look after the half-sister she dislikes so much!
And what would Doria be doing ?in the garden with her friends getting high? when she had been separated from Tom snr for years, and the DM showed photos of the house Doria and Meghan lived in when she was young. Mother and daughter together. Tom snr didn?t live there with them.
And Samantha met and married and then had her third child Noelle when Meghan was seventeen. Meghan was in college at 18.

Ugh..too many properties in Los Angeles Co. are now priced at around the 1 million dollar mark including my own 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom abode.
I had to laugh at the old furphy coming around yet again that some old backbencher Tory is fuming about the Sussexes titles. They are not going to be taken away. Charles doesn?t want it and the Govt hasn?t got the time or energy to spend on something like taking a Dukedom away when there?s an election looming next year followed by almost certainly a Labour Govt with a full agenda that doesn?t include taking away titles from Royals.
And Richard Palmer agrees on his Twitter Page today.
https://twitter.com/RoyalReporter/status/1731571128932471012?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet
Regardless of the 'outcome', the fact that because of the Sussexes - H titles being discussed to be taken away in parliament is historical.
The 'team sussex' good news is the couple do not mind being 'infamous'. (I have a different concept of ending up in parliament's historical books of being discussed removal bill approved or not).
But hey each to it's own. :D
I think the Sussex's must really enjoy creating drama and hell for the royal family as that is all they seem to do anymore, that is their *endgame*. I mean take a long look at them, what do they actually do all day, sit in their office thinking of ways to get back at whomeever is on their hate list today? Maybe Meghan could do another courtsey and or Harry could show how he fell on a dog dish, or call O again and have a 3 way talk about the non skin color of their son by people of color no less.
They aren?t sitting in anybody?s office. Photos of Meghan looking happy and carefree and smiling in Santa Barbara yesterday. Just going about her business, as does Harry and their children. The DM is typical of the British media, annoyed and aghast that she and Harry aren?t crying into their soup about this book, or anything else. It?s the British media, in particular the tabloids that make huge fusses about what the Sussexes are up to.

Meghan Markle is pushing for royal reunion and UK move but King Charles has one condition
Meghan Markle has reportedly been planning to split her and her family's time between California and Kensington Palace.
Meghan Markle appears to be seeking a "part time" reunion with the Royal Family, which King Charles may accept but on one condition, according to sources.
The Duchess of Sussex has reportedly been considering a "reconciliation" with the Firm, after she and Prince Harry stepped down as working royals in 2020 and have since become estranged from his family.
Due to the couple's "financial woes", Meghan has been weighing up spending eight months of the year in California, where the Sussexes currently live in Montecito, and then the rest of the time renting an apartment in Kensington Palace.
She is said to believe the arrangement could "potentially aid in repairing the strains on her marriage with Prince Harry", while also helping to mend their "relationship with King Charles, who has expressed a desire for the family to be reunited".
However the source said that the idea could only work under one condition from the King - that the couple stop trashing the royals in the media.

Garbage news from tabloids wanting clicks to make money.......one day Meghan will never go back to the UK and the next day, how she wants to spend time there with the children........reporters not knowing what is going on so they make up stories and lies and rumors just to make trouble for the royal famil.
It's probably half truth - the Sussexes wanting to reconcile due to their financial situation.
Yes, I agree with you, the only reason they want to be seen close to the royal family is so that whomever is thinking of hiring them will think some of that royal fairy dust will rub off on them.......MONEY is the only language they understand completely.......and I know all about men and money as that is a deadly combination for sure....been there, done that and will never do that again ever!
Well Omid is quiet, and Harry and Meghan are very quiet, think they are finally realizing the hell they created for Harry's family across the pond? I seriously doubt things will change for them ever, less money in Archwell means let's try to open the bank of dad while we work our way back in the Firm.
I'm 95% sure nobody wants to hire them reconciled or not, their brand is toxic, hence they do need Harry's father to help them with a free home/food/security (crown estates that already have security in place; KP, SJP, BP, Windsor, CH - these five are 100% safeguarded).
Now does the couple feel it's their own doing - their situation - by all accounts - they are still blaming everyone else but not themselves. Until they realize this - Nightowl they very likely want the 'connection' to get their chances - perhaps this has to happen to realize it is not so anymore/any longer?!
They are under a lot of pressure, IMO WME has given Meghan an ultimatum to keep their contract, they want her to do a Catherine with the children charity. Finding her a job hasn't worked - 9 months gone by - they haven't found her nothing, parking lot walks with their pap friend and split moneys from sold pictures to the Daily Mail. And what I said about Netflix in the iffy wiff.
NOTE: I placed that express article here in the team sussex because fake reconciliation from the Sussexes or not, they will never end living under a bridge so to speak. Charles will make sure they are at least/minimum okay with roof/food/secure place as mentioned in my first paragraph.

This is the Archewell Xmas cChristmas card. I would think friends and family like Eugenie won?t be sent the Invictus one but will be sent a family type card.
I don't mind, but their social media fans are from disappointed to half-hearted, mainly because no children.
^and yes it is a business holiday card.
^ I believe the POW's announced ''this is our family Christmas card'' - there have been interesting youtube discussions with those who like to read colour, symbolism of their black, white and shades of grey...year; most related to the HMQEII death and other family member troubles, white days, black days, grey days.

Our family Christmas card for 2023 🎄❤️
It is interesting, considering the criticism the Sussexes received from media and public about the black and white cards sent after their wedding, and the Xmas one showing Archie crawling as a baby from them to the camera. The British media and others commenting ?Oh, arty? ?Black and white, so non Chritsmassy?.
And the fuss when their babies? faces weren?t shown, but when Eugenie (who I like) did exactly the same with her photos of August, nothing was said.
They were senior working royals with one Christmas in the 18 months.
If there is anyone criticizing their photographic desires after Megxit, I agree with you, they can do whatever. I'll go further to state they are celebrities, they actually do not have to send any public Christmas card, nobody in hollywood does, no celeb or influencer does either.
I do believe that privately the Sandringham crowd celebrate the Christian Christmas, publicly I haven't seen for the past 5 years anything that leans or hints more in favor to any December faith, if any.
With all the wokeness, IMO the King, Queen and the POW's have done it balanced correctly - I haven't seen any woke group get offended.
?do believe that privately the Sandringham crowd celebrate the Christian Christmas, publicly I haven't seen for the past 5 years anything that leans or hints more in favor to any December faith, if any.? Wannabie end quote.
What does ?December faith? mean? So the ?Sandringham crowd? are deeply Christian in all actions and beliefs while Harry and Meghan have no faith apparently! I?m willing to accept that Charles has religious faith, though his actions against his marriage vows in 1981 entirely belie that. But the others?
If Kate had been brought up in a home where going to church was valued then surely she would have been confirmed into the C of E at about eleven years old (as I was.) And If she had had deep religious faith she would have been confirmed while she was at Marlborough. Instead she was hurriedly baptised and confirmed just before her engagement to William.
And there were many years in their early married life where the Cambridges weren?t seen going regularly to church EXCEPT when they were with William?s grandparents and father at holiday seasons. It was commented on online! Was Camilla a regular churchgoer when she was married to APB? I doubt it, it didn?t appear in any of her biographies.
And none of that matters really. England has been a secular society for at least sixty years. However, let?s not ascribe true and deep Christian virtues and beliefs to married-ins (and younger royals of William and Harry?s generation) when it can be seen that the church attendance etc means nothing except for appearances sake as members of the BRF.
I doubt Muslims and Jews put up Christmas trees and celebrate the birthday of Jesus
I have not seen any Christmas pictures with symbolism towards any faith
We do know by articles and videos what the Sandringham royals do from the 24th to at least the second Sunday January.
Catherine Elizabeth Middleton was born on 9 January 1982 at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading into an upper-middle-class family. She was baptised at St Andrew's Bradfield, a local parish church, on 20 June 1982.
Clarence House has announced that Kate Middleton was confirmed last month by the bishop of London into full membership of the Church of England.
Middleton's confirmation at a private service ? she had already been christened into the CofE as a child ? serves to dot the Is and cross the Ts of her allegiance to an institution in which she will inevitably spend a lot of time in coming years, especially when Prince William eventually becomes its supreme governor.

They are *adults* just like you and I are, they should make their own way in life without having the bank of dad pay for it, so SHAME on them for that and so many other hateful things they have done. I would fear for the royal family *if* they ever came back, it would be the end of the monarchy for sure with the attitudes of Harry and Meghan's hate for the monarchy and royal family.
^^^Nightowl, H father wouldn't let them go literally bankrupt, if it happens (broke), KCIII ''will'' place conditions - when a person reaches rock bottom... They are too public - there can't be a public media frenzy with a King's son fully damaged, yes I know, everyone knows the crazy couple have done a gazillion damaging left right and center. The couple are already persona non grata, hence my comment days ago - they should spend Christmas with people that like them. I also said that H is to M as M is to H in the full sense of the law - so IF they go broke, one of the two ''will'' contact the rich relation! The BRF is the consitutional monarchy, it's not the temporary 5 year POTUS with a drug addict son, leaving class a and b drugs all over the white house then off they go to do their lives after the term is done. Just saying. :sarcastic:
Hollyweird is ruthless with zero empathy for anyone - pure interest what can you do for me, the grass is not greener, proverb.
^^Curryong I'm not here to lecture anyone, just know if I know I know, corrected your misinformation. Don't feel bad about it. The only one who was baptized and confirmed ''quickly'' before marriage was Meghan.
I don?t feel bad about it at all. I?m fine!
And Meghan didn?t come from an Anglican or C of E background so she could hardly be baptised in it. There are a myriad different religions and spiritual structures in the US, where she grew up. Very unlike the Anglican Church with which the BRF are entwined. Though congregations are sadly lacking in the majority of its churches nowadays.

Quite, perhaps the best Christmas cards for Christians and/or Pagans is the Monaco royals - Christmas tree, gifts, the royals around it. I like it, but I have noticed that the majority that would like a christmas themed picture are probably Christians and/or Pagans that celebrate it. It's quite weird that the Spanish Royal Family, 95 % of the population is Catholic and yet they usually send neutral pictures like the BRF.

Meghan Markle is officially a member of the Church of England after the Archbishop of Canterbury baptized and confirmed the future royal in a secret ceremony on Tuesday evening.

The Christmas season, especially in the West, is a mix of pre-Christian, Christian, and secular traditions. What's interesting is the etymology of the word Christmas. It literally means Christian Mass. It's a shortened form of Christ's Mass.
Is Christmas a Catholic word?
The very word Christmas comes from the Old English words Crīstes m?ss, or Christ-Mass. From ancient times, Mass has been at the heart of the celebration of Christ's birth. Accordingly, Christmas is a holy day of obligation, on which the Church calls all Catholics to celebrate Mass.
What do Pagans do to celebrate Christmas?
Decorating trees, feasting with loved ones, hanging up socks by the fireplace, and drinking yourself silly are no different ? they're all a part of pagan history and sacred holidays. In fact, most of the cultural aspects we associate with Christmas are steeped in pagan roots.

It actually wasn?t a secret ceremony. That?s what the negative British media called it. Charles was present as was Camilla it was later reported. And the Archbishop and assisting clergy.
And yes, certainly Christianity is built and entwined on many pagan traditions. I am merely pointing out that the vast majority of the British non Muslim population no longer attend church. If they no longer attend church it?s hardly likely that they read the Bible, pray every day or send their children to Sunday School. In fact it?s doubtful that Sunday Schools exist any more or that many Britons have bibles in their homes.
Perhaps the tone of the second judge is a forewarning to H using the court as a career. Reading the statement of stop misinforming and paranoia uff is quite the heavy weight words.

They seem to be in their bubble of me and everyone else is to be blamed for.
The posts about baptism and confirmation of the Princess of Wales have been removed. Please stay on topic. This thread is about the Sussex family.

I wonder if Lilibet refused to wear her hat ? I doubt Meghan would permit her fair skinned tot to be inthe sun without one. Ah...2 year olds.
^ I saw a longer video from hotel to black car.
Archie is no where to be seen and that is the only alleged Lili picture which is like not seeing her.
It is like a hired paparazzi with video cam old equipment with dirty lens from the 80s where Michael Jackson real paparazzi era took much better pictures with his children.
It did not make mainstream media apart from the Costa Rican news. Also in the UK because there is a child it will not be published. Nobody knows the real look of the children in growth terms. No clear pictures.
After having said that the parents are the celebrities the children are not being trained for royal life so do not have to be picture taken. Yes I understand since they are in line of succession there is uproar since both were born etc.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle send get well message to Kate Middleton and King Charles - Mirror Online (https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/prince-harry-meghan-markle-send-31928866)
Harry and Meghan have given their support to the King and Princess of Wales following their health scares. It came as Charles prepares for a prostate operation and Kate spent her fifth day in hospital after major abdominal surgery.
The move, which will be considered an olive branch, comes nearly two months after Charles, 75, and Kate, 42, were publicly named in an alleged race row over the skin colour of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex?s eldest child Archie, four.
A source said: ?The King and the Princess of Wales have received support from Prince Harry and Meghan regarding their health. The Duke and Duchess contacted both parties in different ways to pass on their concern and best wishes.? It comes after months of claims of a severely strained relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a surprise appearance at the premiere of the new biopic, Bob Marley: One Love, held at the Carib 5 Theatre in Kingston, Jamaica, on Tuesday.
ET was exclusively on the red carpet at the event as the happy couple posed for photos and spoke with members of Marley's family, who came out to show their support for the film.
They posed with the Jamaican PM on the red carpet. Harry had met members of the Marley family on the previous visit he made to the island and had been seen dancing to a Marley song on that trip.

Bob Marley was and is extremely important to the people of Jamaica and so is this film. The PM of Jamaica certainly found it important enough to be there.
And members of the BRF, like Charles and the Waleses and the York Princesses have been seen at several film premieres themselves, sometimes several times a year, so let?s not pretend that the Sussexes are always doing it and nobody else in the family ever attends a premiere.
Harry has met members of the Marley family in the past and probably accepted the invitation to attend the premiere weeks ago. Long before news about other royals? medical procedures got into the media.

LIZ JONES: I'm no Meghan fan, but this unrelenting online abuse has to stop | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/article-13010581/Liz-Jones-Meghan-online-abuse.html?ico=related-replace)
?But if Meghan is reading even a fraction of the online abuse aimed at her, I wonder how she is able to function at all. You might say, well, don?t read it, but these barbs have a way of finding their target, seeping under a door. Readers sometimes print out unkind comments about me and post them to my address.
Many might say, well, surely the opinions of a few online, anonymous nutters are water off a duck?s back? Ignore them. Move on. Sticks and stones and all that. But, believe me, even things you know are untrue, written online, over time will make you begin to doubt yourself. I?ve experienced death threats, only a fraction of the number aimed at Meghan. You feel sick, you shake.?
