The Sussex Privacy Tour Continues

Apparently Prince Harry will appear on the BBC's The One Show tonight in a filmed segment, talking to the families of World War II survivors who suffered burns in battle. (You'll be able to see it here shortly after broadcast, which begins at 1900 British time, or 2100 Eastern European Time, which is the time on this blog).

He's a little late for VE Day, but better late than never, I suppose. 

The suspense is terrific. Will he be filming from his laundry room again? Or will he sit in the beige chair beside the generic houseplant?

Meanwhile, Lifetime has announced its third Harry & Meghan movie, tenatively titled "Harry and Meghan: Escaping the Palace."

Which one are you looking forward to most?

To all UK (sorry) Nutties: Channel 5 Saturday 9.20pm Harry & Meghan: Two Troubled Years.

I won't watch it at the time but might watch some of it later on catch up.

Not sure we'll be hearing earth shattering revelations. This might be sympathetic to the duo and another attempt to make them look good (or not so bad).

The programme will look at what led H&M to leave the BRF and their life between the UK & USA and the issues at the root of the split. The Radio Times summary of the programme asks if H&M will be able to make a go of it. Yes, we all wonder... (doomed to failure so far)

There's plenty online if you search `zoom-bombing' - how it can be done and instances of where it has been done:

I'm still at a loss to see how a teaching union was involved in the meeting...

lol what life? what have they done here? absolutely nothing . in their defense not much anyone can do at the moment but if they truly cared about anyone aside from themselves they'd figure something out

I bet right now they are feverishly cooking up some BS so they can release floodgate on what they did during this time. all their 'secret behind the scenes work' complete with "secret never before seen photos"

Number 3 will shock you 🙄

I remember when Meghan wrote about her Michelle Obama interview in Vouge. She made it sound as if they were having chicken tacos together.Bounding. Turns out she did the interview via email.Michelle Obama said she didnt know Meghan Markle, she had only answered her questions via email.
This is a typical way for a person with histrionic personal disorder to change the truth/reality. They make things bigger then they are.
So...I wonder what her book will be like.

P.S. Even if it were somehow technically "legal," it's still a dirty trick the Harkles pulled on callers and staff alike to somehow improve their PR. IMO.

Not there to help. Just there for the photo op, never to be seen or heard from again.

They're private citizens now. What do they have to bring to the table more than any other private citizen? Certainly not money. A one time publicity that isn't even all that publicized is all.

For them it's all about bestowing their wonderful presence upon the poors. Seems pretty condescending.

Once again, someone who says it much better and with more brevity than me.

I honestly do not understand how the Harkles fail to see that no matter what they attempt is doomed to failure because of their continual lame and obvious self-aggrandizement -- nor how they can convince anyone that they're the best thing since sliced bread. All the evidence to the contrary is an avalanche, a tsunami, yet still a small cohort clings on and lives to cause trouble, hoping for a few meager crumbs of vicarious self-esteem.

Sunshine Sachs is milking them for all they're worth, but, sharks that they are, they are obligated to do what the Harkles tell them. SS is laughing all the way to the bank. Speaking of which, I wonder how the Bank of Dad feels about his money going toward these false charity PR stunts? Not to mention all the couch-surfing expenses!
@Ava C, my book by Lady Glenconner is arriving tomorrow, I got it for a bargain price of £7.00. ;)

We’ll have the Lady C’s new book in a month...Surely we can hang on and carry on blogging till that arrives. Too bad I can’t offer you some home grown wild strawberries. ❤️

@Ava and Lucy, agree and my take on it too. ;)

lastly don't flatter yourself cat. Elle surely is sinking all her energy into new job. complaints to Google don't do shit as evidenced by your continued presence

have a great day all!

I have it set to record, but I don’t think it’s going to offer much that we don’t already know about, just a re-hash methinks. :/

From Page 6 of NY Post:
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made one good friend in Los Angles, fellow Brit Adele.

Adele, 32, lives a few minutes away from the duo’s new home in Beverly Hills, and the singer often stops by to say hello and gives Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, advice about living in LA, reported the Daily Mirror.

“Adele’s just five minutes from Harry and Meghan and they’ve swapped notes on the area. Adele loves the neighborhood. She’s also recommended her four-year-old son Angelo’s pre-school and discreet places to take Archie where they won’t be bombarded by fans,” a source told the Mirror.

“All three of them get on so well. Meghan admires how Adele has managed to keep out of the spotlight despite being a huge star. And she is a big fan of her album 21, which she says helped her through her divorce from Trevor Engelson.”

The new friendship developed after reports emerged that Harry was struggling in LA and missing his UK friends.

In 2011, Adele admitted to Glamour magazine that she was “after Prince Harry.”

“I know I said I wouldn’t go out with a ginger, but it’s Prince Harry. I’d be a real duchess then! I’d love a night out with him. He seems like a right laugh,” she told Glamour.

The singer allegedly first became friends with the couple while visiting a community kitchen for Grenfell Tower victims in December 2018.


Why is almost all the "news" stories from Meghan's point of view? Doesn't she realize that if she took a break from news stories she might not be so unpopular. The only other people getting daily stories are the Kardashians. Is her goal to have her own reality TV show?

@Lucy “ the biggest issue for me and this blog is one person plays 8 different characters”

So, you noticed that as well? Posters swing in here, purportedly ‘brand new’ yet seeming to know everyone and everything? Curious.

Another observation...we’re all somewhat bored and obviously burdened with the virus concerns. When some bring in the political insults it bothers those who see things differently. And, yes, Nutty isn’t here much but I suspect she feels just like we do.

I’ve had my issues here and,admittedly, acted badly one time. I’m sorry. I do hope we can get past this rough patch...there are so many on here I enjoy reading.

@Raspberry Ruffle - do hope you enjoy the Glenconner book!

Good point by Nutties about what the Harkles bring or rather don't bring to the table. Made me realise it was registering subconsciously rather than consciously with me, when they've been doing their Zoom stuff etc. Seemed pitiful and a nuisance for those affected, but I hadn't thought it through. It's as if they've blagged their way in without ID. They have no right to play roles like that anymore.

I hate to use the phrase but it shines a spotlight on the fact that the motivating factor for their departure was to make their own money, because they're doing the same old stuff they would have done in the UK (only instead of blue-chip it's amateur night).

Also, of course, Meghan doesn't have to fall in line and obey BP now. She obviously hated working to other people's directions. Unfortunately for her, that's now visible to everyone and renders her, together with her lack of acting ability, completely unemployable.

I used to post here quite a bit. I'm not one to post my theories or hypotheses much. I"m more of a facts person. The few times I did post about something, Elle harangued me about things like whether one needed to mow the lawn. Tatty was also instrumental in my departure.

So, I left and since then, I've seen tons of information about the Harkles that I would have shared, but decided not to because no one seemed to be on my side, including Nutty.

Hell, when I was among the first to say that one should just skip over the contributions of people that one found annoying, Nutty responded by saying that "everyone's contributions are equally valid". I was surprised to see that she later parroted me when the blog became very contentious.

I peeked in from time to time and was amazed at Elle's suggestion to Nutty that Elle should help censor the comments, because Elle was the cause of most of the issues. Also, wasn't this a back door into taking over the blog from Nutty? I am amazed at how bold one can be and am reminded of Meghan Markle herself.

And, everyone who fell for Elle's shtick - you complain of Markle's narcissism, yet you seem to celebrate and encourage Elle's. A few off topic comments about martinis, and you are her willing sycophants.

The moral of the story is - stop bullying each other and stay on topic. Thank you for your time.

@holly. Thanks for link. Great read. I'll repost in case someone else is interested.

I will really miss this blog if it goes. I haven't commented much and some of you will recall why. On that note, I want to thank those who provided some "outraged kindness" especially @Wild Boar Battle-Maid. Fingers crossed we all stick around, or go private or something of that nature. There have been some highly intelligent comments and conversations that have really helped me, lover of true royalty, through the horrors of what has happened over there in the past three years. Warm thoughts to all.

And don't forget when she wrote in Elle mag about the standing ovation she got at her UN speech.

Those two lies alone are huge klaxon alarms. If I knew someone who threw out either of those two clangers, I would distance myself from them immediately. The lies were grandiose and easily disproved, so you have to wonder why someone would put them out there.

Was she trying to trick people or does she have a mental health issue? Neither is a savoury option.

Hello, all.

Sorry for my absence - we're coming out of lockdown here, borders to a couple of neighboring countries are open, and things suddenly got very busy.

Seems like there's some bad feeling on this thread, so I'll shut it off and begin a new one.
Nutty Flavor said…
@Mischi, while we've missed your insights, as I recall, you said some pretty nasty things to somebody before you left.

Can't remember who, but I don't believe it was Elle. Anyway, water under the bridge.

I wasn't aware of much strife on this site at all...I'm sorry to hear it! I guess just skimming the comments has kept me out of the fray, and I'm glad for that. I've still managed to read some insightful and delightful things here and very much hope it continues.

I’ve only commented once on this blog, and it was to share a link to a horrendous “Sussex royal” and sweater being sold on Etsy… :-P

Just want to say that I honestly enjoy what everyone has to say; this has easily become one of my favorite blogs on the Internet, and specifically for the comment section!

I absolutely love the varied insights, slightly off-topic discussions of food and history (@nutty flavor - I never knew who the mohawk tribe was before I read your comment!), and getting to be an overall spectator to the discussions and formations of Internet friendships.

Don’t want to sound preachy at all, but I feel it’s particularly relevant to provide one of my favorite quotes, “Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.”

I would hate to see any of ya’ll go! Also, my husband is very appreciative of this blog, as it satiates my Markle-based schadenfreude that he could not care less about ;-)

Love & safety to all from Orlando, Florida <3

@Nutty, actually, I didn't. I just told her that she was taking over the blog and exhibiting the same narc traits that she claims to deplore in Markle. And, the fact that you don't seem to mind her behaviour, Nutty, says the same thing about you.
Nutty has a new post up. ;)

A Quiet Interlude

 Not much appears to be going on. Living Legends came and went without fanfare ... what's the next event?   Super Bowl - Sunday February 11th?  Oscar's - March 10th?   In the mean time, some things are still rolling along in various starts and stops like Samantha's law suit. Or tax season is about to begin in the US.  The IRS just never goes away.  Nor do bills (utility, cable, mortgage, food, cars, security, landscape people, cleaning people, koi person and so on).  There's always another one.  Elsewhere others just continue to glide forward without a real hint of being disrupted by some news out of California.   That would be the new King and Queen or the Prince/Princess of Wales.   Yes there are health risks which seemed to come out of nowhere.  But.  The difference is that these people are calmly living their lives with minimal drama.  

As Time Passes and We Get Older

 I started thinking about how time passes when reading some of the articles about the birthday.  It was interesting to think about it from the different points of view.  Besides, it kind of fits as a follow up the last post (the whole saga of can the two brothers reunite). So there is the requisite article about how he will be getting all kinds of money willed to him from his great-grandmother.  There were stories about Princess Anne as trustee (and not allowing earliest access to it all).  Whether or not any or all of this is true (there was money for him and/or other kids) has been debated with claims she actually died owing money with the Queen paying the debts to avoid scandal.  Don't know but I seem to remember that royal estates are shrouded from the public so we may not (ever) know. However, strange things like assisting in a book after repeated denials have popped up in legal papers so nothing is ever really predicable.   We are also seeing more articles which not only talk

The Opening Act of New Adventures in Retail

 I keep thinking things will settle down to the lazy days of spring where the weather is gorgeous and there is a certain sense of peacefulness.  New flowers are coming out. increasing daylight so people can be outside/play and thinking gardening thoughts.  And life is quiet.  Calm. And then something happens like a comet shooting across the sky.  (Out of nowhere it arrives and then leaves almost as quickly.)   An update to a law suit.  Video of the website is released (but doesn't actually promote any specific product which can be purchased from the website).  A delay and then jam is given out (but to whom and possible more importantly - who did not make the list?).  Trophies almost fall (oops).  Information slips out like when the official date of beginning USA residency.  (now, isn't that interesting?) With them, it's always something in play or simmering just below the surface.  The diversity of the endeavors is really quite impressive.  This award, polo, speech, speech,
