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.

You asked what us Nutties think about Lady C's assertions that Diana wasn't a virgin and in fact was an alleged promiscuous young lady, a very young lady. IMO it is an unseemly lie and even more so in that the book was published after Diana's death (I believe).
Ok I get it but how many men could she had a relationship with before she married Charles? And has no man come forward to say such a thing has me questioning the veracity of the allegation.

is it just me or has MM seem rather quiet since fake commencement speech? I haven't been bombed with the usual 12 articles a day
(Dontcha just love it when anyone who works in a school, who isn't cook, caretaker or school secretary, gets called a `teacher'?) Why did I bother with 5 years FT education after I was 18?)
On her wedding day, she had just turned, 20 by 4 weeks.
It's not impossible for an age gap like that to work. My cousin married a chap 10 years older than she when she was only 20 (and he'd been in the Navy for years) and they had a deeply happy long marriage when he died just short of their 60th anniversary.
C & D (I nearly said D&C!) might have qualified for an annulment under Roman Catholic canon law, but it was under CofE/Anglican and English secular law, so having serious misgivings as one walks up the aisle is no grounds for annulment, says she, very ruefully.
Again speaking from experience, I'd say that wanting to call the whole thing off is a major warning signal which should be heeded and one should ignore those who tell you otherwise.
No upstaging attempt? Has MM yet to ask someone to hold her beer?
Yes, I've been wondering too. Have faith, it's only 1.42 in LA, there's plenty of time yet.
@Maneki
M will probably release a video of herself performing Jay-Z’s 99 Problems.
Are you guys all right there? All these rumors about defunding police whatever this means make me concerned for our American commentators.
Hope you are fine!
Also, Charles was only 22 when he met Camilla, and most likely did not want to make a decision about marriage at such a young age.
On another topic: Prince Philip is 99 years old today, and the DM has published birthday messages from Charles, Camilla, William and Catherine. Nothing from the Sussexes, although it's still early. Or maybe MM is still smarting from Philip's advice to Harry: "One steps out with actresses, one doesn't marry them". JH should have listened to his grandpa.
Also I remember hearing, either from her or someone close - one of those ubiquitous sources ' that she felt like a brood mate chosen to breed some height back into the House of Windsor.
Byoncé's deal, eh? 100M with Disney. SoCal earthquake in 3...2...1!!!!
Another poster also commented about Diana 'breeding some height into the line'. That wasn't said by Diana, it was a comment made by Prince Philip, who approved of the fact Diana would bring back aristocratic height to the vertically challenged RF.
The medical examination of Diana was to ensure, as far as possible, that she was not going to prove barren, I gathered. In fact, this has given rise to rumours of W & H having an older sister, by in vitro fertilisation and surrogacy - all highly illegal, if it did in fact take place.
It would be very tragic if a poster committed suicide over what 'xxxx' 'CatEyes' (with the generic blogspot avatar) and especially 'Unknwn" posts since the vulnerable victim has asked repeatedly for you to stop them.
She was pretty enough when young (as most of us are!) On here we always regret not being able to post photos. But you can search for them!
Diana had an average face, I thought, before marriage. (Look at the photo where the photographer made her pose so her skirt was transparent.) She had beautiful skin and eyes, nice thick hair, and a wonderful figure. A+. And she benefited greatly from a makeover when all the wealth of the family was made available to her. As well, once she slimmed down a tiny bit, whether from entering her twenties or the eating disorder, her face became more attractive.
And with her extreme youth and that skin, eyes, and hair, she didn't have to use the amount of makeup that Meghan or Kate do. That helped.
I think if Camilla had married at 20 and benefited from the taxpayer-financed beauty care and wardrobe that Diana did, no one would be criticizing her looks. Camilla's children and Diana's children are about equally attractive, I'd say, so if this was the motivation behind choosing Diana, it didn't work so well.
I agree completely. Camilla was an attractive young woman in terms of the standard attractiveness of youth. But more than that, her personality really shone through as it does today.
The was one yesterday in a Hertfordshire town I used to know very well. Most of the towns along the lower Lea (or Lee if you insist) Valley are linear settlements, along what used to be the main road to Cambridge. Hoddesdon is the only one with with space for a static demo. Nothing there to upset the woke. (Hoddesdon now has the nickname of little Sicily, from the numbers of southern Italians who settled there in the 50s & 60s.)
Heading south, the main road leads to London, passing through Tottenham, an area tarnished by the hideous murder of PC Keith Blakelock in the Broadwater Estate riots of 1985:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Keith_Blakelock in 1985
A gang of skinheads and others, apparently from Tottenham, turned up at the demo and yelled abuse at the demonstrators.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/black-lives-matter-hertfordshire-protests-racist-abuse-a9557721.html
They seem to have arranged themselves to protect the War Memorial from damage.
It's not clear whether they were locals/had come from Tottenham/or were supporters of Tottenham Hotspur FC, tho' Spurs immediately made a `nothing to do with us, Squire' response.
The Constabulary issued a standard response about not tolerating abuse and investigating the incident.
So far, no major upset has been caused but it is a hint of where this all might go.
Thank you for your reply. I am very glad to hear 90% of the country is going as usual. Came to like so many people on this blog and really want you to be OK.
Hugs and warm wishes of safety from me to you and all our great Nuttiers.
As a pilot, he logged 5,986 hours in 59 types of aircraft.---- Many nice and old photos of Prince Philip and others.
HAPPY 99TH PRINCE PHILIP!
I would like to join 5X (@xxxxx) in wishing His Royal Highness much happiness on his 99th (!!!) birthday.
Always, and ever, my favorite Royal.
You are one of the smarter ones here! Your insight puts me to shame, but I am the first to admit it :) Well, maybe the "second" as I don't know myself as well as I should, don't we all.
Yes .... I am already missing Prince Philip before he is actually gone. What an original.
She sees 'herself as 'a role model' who is able to speak on the issue of racial equality.' She likes to think she's a role model anyway. As for speaking on the issue of racial equality, she has caused discord in the UK by calling the BRF and us 'racist' (and 'toxic'). And after years of being Caucasian she's now discovered her black/bi-racial roots?
Omid Scobie states that ' thhis is incredibly personal to Meghan, especially given everything she has experienced.' Everything she's experienced'?? Such as?? The ultra lavish wedding and wardrobe, being welcomed by the BRF (and given special treatment) etc? Ungrateful hypocrite doesn't come near.
Didn't take long for our duo to pop up.

No. And this is the odd thing about them I can't figure out. WHY or how can anyone change their minds every five minutes?
(Right, okay, guilty as charged, but not where it counts.)
I remember reading Diana described as a “teacher’s aide,” but never as a full teacher.
@Lt.
Glad you are back. Don’t go away again, please.
Thank you all SO much for your posts. By the time I finish, reading, it is either bed time or a meal time, it seems.
Yes, they, or rather, she, can't seem to stick to one thing, or just a few. It's something new every month. Lack of proper interest? Lack of commitment? A need to stay relevant?
Sorry, but this doesn't make them/her sound genuine - you can't be 'passionate' about every single cause, especially when they keep changing.
Pick a few causes and stick with them!
I don't remember seeing Diana as being a "teacher." I only remember "teacher's aide." Perhaps a Nutty can provide us with a link.

Now the cities are dealing with the fallout from their (deliberate?) inaction. Burned out stores such as Walmart may not rebuild, although they are being begged to. (If they do, they are going to get HUGE tax incentives. HUGE.) The thing is, though, insurance may not underwrite coverage of businesses in riot areas. No insurance, no business, and that goes for grocery stores, restaurants, garages, hardware stores, etc. The black-owned businesses suffered the most, because they could not imagine that their community would destroy their businesses and probably didn't have insurance coverage for that eventuality.
"Defunding Police" is code for taking the money that funded the police and putting it into social programs that are used to siphon off money and funnel it to people that are connected to the politicians (see New York Mayor Di Blasio's wife as an example)
Sadly, the people that have the most crimes committed against them are the poor blacks which are committed by other poor blacks. You are not supposed to notice that the rich black (and white) politicians live in gated communities with private security companies as well as taxpayer funded police guards and they commit HUGE crimes against the taxpayers.
Where I would like to defund the police (and the police would agree, I believe) is that with the closure of mental hospitals and asylums with no replacements, police and jails have become the reluctant caregivers of the mentally-troubled population. The police are not mental health professionals. The jails and prison should not be the only places available for people with schizophrenia and other mental disorders. Corrections officers are not psychiatrists. Facilities need to be reopened to care for people that cannot care for themselves.
*My community is fine. The police exist to protect the criminals from us, not vice versa.
Two things.
Harriet Tubman packed a weapon.
Money for nothing and your kicks for free.
They've had so many causes that they're passionate about it's hard to keep track.
Although since nothing ever comes of them, it probably doesn't matter.
They're only passionate about them for all of two seconds anyway.
Here are a couple of examples. The first is from 1981.
https://www.upi.com/Archives/1981/11/05/Princess-Diana-the-former-kindergarten-teacher-who-married-Prince/4379373784400/

People see right through MM. No amount of PR can change that. As for Harry he is really out of his depth there. Who cares what they think? Their PR only, because the longer they are thrashing about the longer the PR will be paid. That is it.
They will continue sinking. Markle's celebrity friends who first learned about her existence when she invited them to her wedding are too busy surviving in the rapidly changing world.
To me, it feels as if there is a witch hunt going on. As an example, beauty companies were asked to reveal how many black, POC, and people who identify as women their companies employ. There was an article that specifically trashed Kylie Jenner, given the family’s history of black appropriation. First off, I believe that the right person should be hired for the job, any job. That being said, Kylie Cosmetics and another company stated that 13% of their employees were black. They were slammed for it. But in actuality, only 13.4% of the US population is black, so this sector is being well-represented. Also, it didn’t seem to matter how many female employees companies had (even in upper management.) The next question was ‘how many female trans employees do you have?’ And on and on it went, with most of the companies apologizing and saying they had to ‘do better.’ This trend makes me uncomfortable at such a deep level. And I speak as someone who has many friends of different races, cultures, religions, and sexual orientations. I found this article utterly despicable, and quite honestly, if you’re going to try to shame people or companies, the results will be hollow and meaningless.
"Where I would like to defund the police (and the police would agree, I believe) is that with the closure of mental hospitals and asylums with no replacements..."
I agree but it's not just a matter of money being diverted.
One important reason mental hospitals don't exist the way they used to relates to the legalized notion of deinstitutionalization and the requirement treatment be provided in the least restrictive environment. Community mental health vs centralized state institutions/asylums. Sounded good, civil liberties and all, just like mainstreaming in educational settings sounded good. But it doesn't work in reality.

Jeeze not sure why this is happening.
Happened in another site.
It has been fooling people, but not sure why.
THIS IS NOT ME.
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/infertility/diagnosis/
Here are the statistics for today for all couples:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Around 1 in 7 couples may have difficulty conceiving. ( Difficulty does not mean that they cannot conceive.)
About 84% of couples will conceive naturally within a year if they have regular unprotected sex (every 2 or 3 days). (That is just over 8 out of 10, but it does not mean that those who do not conceive cannot but it does mean they may need extra help to do so.)
For couples who have been trying to conceive for more than 3 years without success, the likelihood of getting pregnant naturally within the next year is 1 in 4, or less. (Still could conceive but may need some help.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The story about Diana being checked for fertility is bogus ... a made-up story that everyone accepts and repeats without question.
1. There is no actual fertility test (other than one to check if you are ovulating or not but simply producing eggs is not always enough for a successful pregnancy), but there are tests that can be done to check for conditions that are known to adversely affect fertility and carrying a baby to term.
2. All these tests take time. At what stage were these tests supposed to have been done? One assumes that would be after the proposal. There was a delay in announcing the engagement (as there always is with a royal engagement), so theoretically there was time between the proposal and the announcement, but was it enough time (at most it was 10 days)? Nope!
3. Do you really think the proposal went something like this: Will you marry me? Yes. Wonderful, now you have to be checked to make sure you are fertile and can fall pregnant and have children, although there is no actual test that can be done so you will be checked for anything that may cause fertility issues and we will then assess the results and decide if you are at risk of not being able to conceive and give birth to a child. Oh. If a problem is found, I cannot marry you. Oh!
4. The male can be the cause of the inability to conceive, but no one talks about Charles being tested.
5. When the marriage soured, Diana got her story out in various ways. Do you really think she would not have spoken about being tested if that was what happened? She did say she felt like a brood mare but NEVER spoke about any tests or any kind of examination.
The chances of Charles and Diana being unable to have children were very small ... negligible. If that turned out to be the case, Charles had 3 siblings (Andrew was well thought of at the time). History is littered with examples of the heir to the throne not being the child of the sovereign and the Queen had more than enough spares. Just because Diana said she felt like a brood mare does not mean she was seen as such in the royal family.
Hmm... Correction needed?
Delete `charities and patronages', insert `income'?
My other Duke of Edinburgh story (not `Where's our bloody monarch got to this time?') - it's How Naval Officers Got A Sensible No 1 Dress Uniform For The Tropics:
It was Dinner Night in the Wardroom (Officers' Dining Room). All were in the regulation garb - monkey jackets, stiff wing collars, collars & bow ties. It was sweltering.
Prince Philip suddenly announced `This, gentlemen, is bloody ridiculous!'
Whereupon he removed his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, removed his tie and opened the neck of his shirt. Everyone else, to their great relief, had to do the same (as per George II and the Hallelujah Chorus).
Well, that's the story anyway.
Re Diana's `teacher' status - I was quoting the very first reports - even qualifying the noun as `kindergarten teacher'is not on. It's like calling a first aider `doctor'.
By 1981, teaching in England was well on the way to becoming a graduate profession. Many Certificated Teachers who had qualified at Teacher Training Colleges converted their status to that of graduates by further study, and exams, with the Open University.
Calling Diana a `teacher', even if the word `kindergarten' is added, falsely elevated her educational and intellectual status, even if it was the result of sloppy reporting. She did not have Qualified Teacher Status - I felt I had been conned by the first reports - until they mentioned her age, when it was obvious she could not have QTS. Kindergarten teachers are no different from other teachers when it comes to qualifications.
Leaving aside that the RF wouldn't have to rely on the NHS, I take your point. I hadn't heard that it was a Diana fib.
This may or may not have anything to do with romantic feelings. Can we just assume that throughout history it's been maybe 50-50 love vs practicality? (I'm feeling generous.) This is one reason that royal men were expected/allowed to have mistresses.
It's a shame that both Diana and Charles were stuck in this situation, probably just at the cusp of great changes. Previous generations weren't able to shack up before marriage. Previous generations cared, or seemed to care, about virginity. Previous generations didn't have DNA testing in case doubts were raised. They certainly didn't have IVF, real-looking dolls, or graduated sizes of fake bellies to fake a pregnancy.
All subsequent generations will have these advantages, as well as unforeseen ones (assuming that royalty persists to the time of George.)
Okay as usual no one asked for this editorial. TLDR: Diana WAS a brood mare; twas ever thus.
As far as M&H. When they got married, I remember telling my mom that I wanted to like her but that there was just something that bothered me. I didn't know what. I think a lot of us pick up on things that others don't. BLM shouldn't let her anywhere near their cause. Her screams of racism just hurt the cause to help those who have really experienced it.
I hope everyone has a great day.
Both Charles/Di and Harry/Meg had conflicting expectations. They both rushed into marriage. Both couples live/d in the limelight. Both brought children into unhealthy relationships. I hope the rumours that the video Archie/s are not living with these two goofballs.
Interesting if the Harry/Adele drinking rumours are true. That could work. He could "get even" with MM by leaving her for a bigger "star". Without M's shopping bills, JH should be able to pay his own security and Frogmore without burdening the taxpayers. Adele/Harry could clean up, dress up, and attend each other's public functions. The British public may begin to forgive JH. Adele/JH could continue until one falls for someone else. Hope royal probably is reading if they are looking for JH exit strategies. Would MM have a title if divorced?
What advice would you give JH?
Welcome back LT! Doesn't matter how many dopplegangers are along for the ride.
@Flowers Family
I do agree with you on BLM and MM. She cheapens everything she touched and makes what's true false.
I wish everyone of the people at Oprahs town hall would call her, and all those who use cries of"racism" falsely in order to further themselves, out. She and those like her do nothing but further divide people who are trying to come together.
I can't believe they let her hypocrisy ride.
But I'll bet there are whispers. And those whispers will destroy her (and her little dog Scobie) too!
Why isn't there more outrage at the fake commencement address?
Adele/Harry could do press like the vomit inducing Blake/Gwen matchup.....sympathetic friend following acrimonious divorce. If there is a real Artificial in LA, Harry/Adele/kids/security could get "caught" at the science museum, Whole Foods, the Getty museum or some appropriate upscale venue to appease the press. Then they can go about their lives within their secure enclave.
The story would work as friends or lovers, preferably vague. They can do the Brad/Jen are they it aren't they indefinitely.
MM can slut around and nab a billionaire ( isn't that inflation, no need wants millionaires any more, bless their greedy hearts)
I really can't think of a suitable partner for him.

Dunno, but I'm not thrilled about a phoney. Altho, they may think twice if they saw me, LOL
Why isn't there more outrage? Good question. I really don't get it. It seems so glaringly obvious that it would blind one.
I have a theory about Markle. She was raised wrong, or at least is a "bad seed." Maybe both. Dad thought the world of her, apparently, and she took advantage of it, if that makes sense.
Side note: MM would never nab a billionaire, look at her. Harry had his ‘reasons’ for getting with her, which I’m not going to elaborate on other than where he wanted to live. She’ll be old news soon enough to him.
If MM ‘dates’ billionaires like Lindsay Lohan, it would be for money and that’s it, and foreign interest. Plus, she’s getting too old without a solid past to fly in that realm. If she was older and a stand up person, different story- there are always good dating markets for people like that.

ROFL!!!!
Mr. Fry has an estate in Norfolk, just a stone's throw from Sandringham. He had become acquainted with Charles through some benefit gala or other, I think--that part's hazy. But Charles has always been an avid patron and supporter of the arts, and they met on several occasions. Mr. Fry mentioned that he was a near neighbor to Sandringham and had extended an invitation to the Prince of Wales to visit him at home for tea sometime . . as one does, haha. He really didn't think any more about it for a few months or more. Flash forward to a few days before New Year, 1988. Fry was hosting a holiday house party for several old friends, including the Lauries and Rowen Atkinson. One morning while everyone else was still abed nursing hangovers, the phone went. The master of the house was feeling rather snappish when he answered. It was rather early, being on the wrong side of noon.
SF: Yes!
Caller: (pause) . . . Er, yes, is that Mr. Fry?
SF: Yes . . .?
Caller: Hallo, it's the Prince of Wales here. I was wondering, if the invitation for tea still stands, would New Year's Day suit you?
SF: . . .Oh, come off it, Nigel . . I know it's you.
Caller: Er . . .
Once it was established that Fry was not being pranked by 'Nige', the time was set for a Royal visit for tea, a couple of days hence. The Caller rang off, but said, "Would it be all right if I brought my wife?"
Yes, it was certainly all right! Say what you want about Charles, but he has manners.
Then commenced a frantic round of housecleaning and general furore. Rowan Atkinson was put in charge of manically Hoovering the stair carpet. Then Charles's RPOs came by to check that the Prince and Princess of Wales would not be visiting a terror cell or hotbed of Communism. Everything checked out and the Royal couple came for tea. Charles was a jolly good conversationalist, while his wife dazzled all the men present and confided that as soon as she got back to Sandringham she was going to go up to her rooma and watch 'Spitting Image' which she greatly enjoyed.
All in all, a successful visit during which the Waleses charmed everyone in the room and showed no signs of taking chunks out of each other. It must have been one of the better periods, or else they were just being holiday troupers . .but SF has been cherishing that memory for decades.
It's interesting to read about the past regarding C & D as I am not old enough to know about their early history. It must be (still) difficult for both William and Harry to hear about their parents turbulent relationship and relationships with others.
I think history is being rewritten regarding Charles and Camilla. Camilla is Charles' one and only love? I think it is/was common knowledge Charles had a couple (at least) of sidepieces along with Camilla whilst married to Diana. They fit in when needed in his schedule and his needs and the press never reported on his affairs. Camilla was top dog but I suspect she never really wanted to divorce from APB.
Camilla spends a lot of time apart in her own home Gloustcestershire and not much at Highgrove and always has done. Perhaps that is the secret to their relationship.
Welcome back Lt. Uhura and other posters.
You’re right! Why is there no backlash? The dog&pony show is still being lauded on various sites. I’m utterly baffled.
And insofar as these protests, complete with kneeling, go they depict crowd mentality...at its worst.
I read somewhere that authoress Emily Giffin has again apologized to Meagain for calling her out in the book reading video. We’re living in an inauthentic world, I think, in which one is castigated for uttering an opinion.

These people do not understand one striking thing. Political agenda may work and they will manage to screw Trump's chance for a second term. But Trump will be in chocolate for the rest of his life even if he loses. He and his family will be protected forever. He is rich, he is incredibly well connected, his children will eat from gold. Heck, he will probably enjoy a less stressful life writing memoirs.
It is us, the normal people who will have to live with the demon of racial division they set free. Whoever comes to the office, even if it is the ultra liberal socialist, he or she will not be able to control the anger that had been cleverly fed. There will be more mistrust, prejudice and division than before, not less.
Unfortunately once it is started there is no way back.

@Hikari, wonderful anecdote re Stephen Fry and the Wales
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ditto. I enjoy those long posts that tell a story very much!
As I've said on this blog before, and I'll repeat now hearing the Harkles want to focus on BLM now: STOP chasing the cause du jour! It makes you look foolish and insincere.
Either wounded veterans rocks your world, or it doesn't. Either you want to focus on Covid, or you don't. BLM? Seriously? When $mirks self-identified as Caucasian until it suited her not to?
Please, these two are just throwing subjects around to see which one sticks.
I have many interests, but only one that moves my heart and soul (elder care, in case anyone is curious). It's been a passion for 15+ years. Either something moves you emotionally, or it doesn't. The Harkles' chasing today's Hot Topic is just annoying and fake as....
P.S. CDAN posted a blind item that Queen Bey is all set to sign on Disney's dotted line for a gig that MM would have given her eye teeth to have. I find this situation quite amusing, as Bey was standing right next to Iger at The Lion King event when 'H' ("I call him 'H'")--gag-- was dropping huge hints: "My wife does voice over work."
You can't make this stuff up!
Yeah I thought it was tacky for a senior member of the BRF to be publicly begging for movie jobs for his (IMO) completely untalented wife, I thought H&M's presence at the event was awful given it meant Harry's absence at the Deal event, I thought it was unconscionable to put Iger on the spot.... But with @Mischief Girl's post it finally clicked to me....Duh, the event was (partly) celebrating Beyonce's voice work and here comes Harry saying (in effect) "my wife can do that too!" No wonder everybody present looked shocked! That's kind of like announcing a pregnancy at someone else's wedding....oh wait...
And BTW, Beyonce's potential Disney deal is being reported everywhere now.
Remember the story going around in early Spring that MM wanted to play a super hero?
OMG. How did I completely miss the fact that Harry begged for voiceover work as if ‘everyone’ can do it, in front of Beyonce HERSELF at HER EVENT FOR HER WORK!!!! Omg. Truly.
Beyond that social faux pax (he’s lucky as f he is a prince), he missed the Veterans event as a Military Leader, AND it was only a month after she had Archie.
She should have been at home, and he should have been at the Veterans event.
I think that moment encapsulated who they are and their deluded priorities. This is why no one likes them. They are disgusting and act like cockroaches.
There's an article on DM that says they spoke to him but there was no public tribute to his birthday.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8407155/Prince-Harry-Meghan-Markle-Archie-spoke-Prince-Philip-wish-happy-99th-birthday.html
Considering Prince Philip's no BS attitude, I wonder if he told them NOT to make an announcement?
"anyone see or hear of H&M publicly wishing Prince Philip a Happy Birthday?"
No. But DM is reporting Carolyn Durand (of Finding Freedom) says H, M, & Archie called him for a "private" video call.
The story about Diana being checked for fertility is bogus ... a made-up story that everyone accepts and repeats without question.
Diana herself confirmed it.

I am not "unknown," I am Lt. Nyota Uhura.
And I wish His Royal Highness Prince Philip (again) a very happy 99th birthday.

Either they aren’t paying enough, or they aren’t getting clicks anymore. Noticed a lower engagement over the last 2 weeks on all their PR efforts at DM- less comments.
I think as the year goes on, people are just not interested in the Royals that Quit.
Funny enough, in line at the supermarket I saw a tabloid, don’t remember which? Maybe Us Weekly? But only one out of the 20 had them on the cover and it was about the fact they Grift and now Charles is in Deep financial trouble trying to support them LOL. I would be humiliated if I was megs, ran errands, and saw that being the cover! So, no, the Us public seems to be onboard with the continued hate press towards the duo.
Going to be hard for them to come back from their reputations, whatsoever.

Did what? Reading that a source told Carolyn Durand (who then tweeted it) that they wished PP a happy birthday privately by video isn't quite the same as publicly wishing him a happy birthday. Maybe I'm missing something?
Of course, without a SM platform H&M may not have had a way to convey their wishes publicly. After all, all their recent public pronouncements have been put out by others.
So funny that Queen Bey got the super massive Disney deal! Also, I was half expecting to hear if MM was on the Oprah special last night--nope. The second half of the show is tonight, waiting to see--although I suspect by now it would have made the news at least on East Coast time. I guess the Duo was too busy with video calls to other important people or maybe they did not want to be "away" from Archie. What bandwagon will they jump on next? I am surprised MM did put her two cents in re the whole JK Rowling trans/woman row. I guess there is always the second series (if there is one) of her pal's tv series, I Do, Redo. Personally, I think the only way out is for MM to adopt an African baby just like her idol, Angelina or possible friend, Madonna.
Could you provide a reference please? You state that Diana herself confirmed that she had been tested for fertility before marriage to Charles. Please supply the reference of where she said this (not some person saying that she said this, but Diana herself actually 'confirming that she had fertility treatments before she cold marry Charles' as you claim).
Please explain how this could have been practically possible considering my explanation of why it was not. What were these fertility tests she had done in 1981?
Have a look at what is available today in terms of 'testing fertility'. The idea that after Diana accepted the proposal, she had all these tests done (even some, as most were probably not available in 40 years ago) is absurd. As you can see, there is no absolute test for fertility, but, when pregnancy does not happen, we can look for problems that could affect fertility (in both partners) and start by addressing those problems:
https://americanpregnancy.org/getting-pregnant/female-fertility-testing/
No professional, self-respecting doctor would have done any kind of test on Diana then nor today.
There were no fertility tests. Diana never said that she did have to undergo any fertility tests. And I was mistaken in saying that Diana said she was treated as/seen as a brood mare. Others put those words in her mouth, but Diana herself never said that.
I just checked my amazon US for the Lady Campbell book and it shows as available to read on Amazon Kindle on JUNE 25TH!
Exciting.
Your pithy poetry is prophetic!
I kneel for God - and for the Queen, should the occasion arise.
As for the Duchess of Sussex, even if she were with H, she wouldn't get get so much as a `housemaid's bob' out of me (learnt for my first role in a play at infants school - my `lines` were `Yes, M'm').
My parents in the 1930s adopted a spaniel bitch that had escaped whilst she was on heat and had had a litter of crossbred pups. She was deemed not longer fit for breeding on account of it. Biological nonsense.
Yet nobody would dream of preventing a widow from remarrying - and MM had been married at least once before.
Cheers, back atcha 😉
Re. my rendition of Stephen Fry’s story
It was I and not Stephen who gilded the lily a bit and called his house ‘an estate’. It’s been a few years since I read his book, but I’m sure he called it a house. He never stipulated the number of his rooms or the size of his acreage, but I figured it had to be a pretty good size, considering that Steve has done pretty well for himself professionally, and was hosting at least half a dozen other people who were equally wealthy for a Christmas house party, and he was proud enough of it to invite the Prince of Wales for tea. I found a picture online. Not the equivalent of a Royal estate but certainly a nice little pile.

I am entirely ignorant of the geography of Norfolk and can’t recall if Mr. Fry included the exact mileage from Sandringham to his place. I used “Stones Throw” metaphorically. Since you’re there on the ground, how far would that be? I am assuming a fairly easy drive in the car, since Charles was willing to visit on New Year’s Day, as presumably it wasn’t going to eat up the entire afternoon to get there and back. Where I come from, driving an hour to get somewhere is no big deal. Those embellishments were mine and not Mr. Fry’s, though I’m sure Stephen might say why let dull facts get in the way of a good story? I believe that Charles and Diana came for tea to his on New Year’s Day in 1988, but I do have my wonderment as to whether he actually called the prince of Wales “Nigel”.
Norfolk sounds like a very interesting county and I’d love to hear more about it.
The only role Megs mastered, “housemaid’s bob”
That’s why we’re in this mess now!!
I have recently discovered YouTube Vlogger ‘According2Taz’ Who specializes in all things Harry and Meghan. She is British and has an entertaining perspective. She showed us the map from Deal in Kent to London, And said it was only about two hours by car, and that Harry could have taken a helicopter back to London to make both events. Perhaps he tried that, but was denied, seeing as the Lion King premiere wasn’t really considered a royal engagement. There was nothing royal about how they looked or behaved on that urine yellow carpet. When we learned that the project that came out of this shameful panhandling for work was a short documentary film called Elephant, I confess I laughed. Was that a sly reference on the part of Bob Iger to how Meghan looked vacuum packed into that stiff horror with the straining zipper? That thing looked like a goth prom Halloween costume, And it was at least two sizes too small.
I know, I am such a monster for body shaming a postpartum mother. (Right.)
Not Meg’s idea of her triumphant return to the acting business, I’m sure. I hope that someday soon, Disney will be released this movie with its original narration provided by Sigourney Weaver. I feel incredibly gypped that we are all missing out on her work. Somehow I don’t think Meg’s effort will be rating a DVD. Those would just end up in landfills with all the unsold Duke and Duchess of Sussex wedding Merch.
Saint Megs is our new saviour
despite her past behaviour
To shill and screech
beyond her reach
Is par for the course
for our unknown source
This makes us sit and ponder
Who is this wench
who stirs up stench
Then wonders why were no fonder
The urine coloured carpet hahaha
represented their yellow brick road to LA
The Wicked Witch of West Hollywood,
her Cowardly Lion, & their Munchkin.
All smoke and mirrors, in toto...
Love how you use the brilliant and devastating Hikari observations in your wicked poetry. You are on a roll or on something!
In flying form again :). "Housemaid's bob". You're incorrigible!! 🤣
Very entertaining account of PC's visit to SF, thank you.
His 'estate' is about 20 km from the Sandringham estate. Norfolk is very pretty, full of very picturesque towns and villages. Well worth a visit if you're ever in that part of the world.
Thanks, enjoying myself whist roasting chicken 😉
and a crimson goblet, or two..

While scrolling through the DM, I saw a CCN (not CNN!) story abt our duo saying Meg was going to ditch H. More speculation than an assertion. The introduction says 'I think Meghan Markle will ditch Prince Harry if he doesn't fall in line with her Hollywood ambitions. He's already talking about leaving L.A.' The best thing for him but we shall see. There is a photo montage with MM in her Deal or no deal days and H, William and the Queen that says it all.
The comments largely reflect what we think.

Well, we all thought so, but still. The element of surprise!
I’ve been getting “pop ups” all day re Megs dumping Harry?
Ignored them, maybe... Hoprahing..
As for Stephen Fry, love him, very erudite.
Would get on well with Prince Charles.
“She had to keep herself tidy” before marriage.
Yes! I remember that phrase now! ('Keep herself tidy’)

There is a big difference between a health check and a special evil virginity test of a poor sacrificial lamb Diana portrayed.
I don't believe that Megxit was Harry's idea; I think that MM had plans from the beginning and exploited his unhappiness to get him on board. However, I'm not going to give him a pass. Yes, he's not very bright, he has mental health issues and is married to a manipulative, controlling spouse, but - dammit! Doesn't he have any moral compass? Is he like his uncle Andrew, seemingly unable to distinguish right from wrong?
The Queen can take away their Sussex titles and at this point I think she should - the British public will be on her side. Enough is enough, and this is too much. Harry will always be HRH Prince Henry of Wales, that is his birthright, but take away the HRH and Duchess of Sussex titles from Megsy.
CCN story about JH wanting to leave LA/MM will leave unless he falls inline with her HW ambitions ... oh man (spin, spin, spin). That comes off as he is a 2 yo who is being willfully disobedient as those 2 year olds tend to be and it could easily be a way to undercut the DM article about how they discussed Megxit before marriage (in the exclusive interviews in the explosive Omid book).
JM/Sasha Exeter kurfuffle about JM failing to fall into/under Sasha's line. There is a big difference between not understanding the problem and not responding to it as someone wanted them to. JM understood it but she chose to support other interests she has supported in the past. That does not mean she was trying to stop Sasha's involvement or sway as an influencer. It just meant she feels closer to other needs in the world.
In theory, we all still have choice to support or not support a cause and it doesn't mean that we think this or that is not worthwhile, it means we feel closer to something else. I feel closer to special needs as we have some special needs people in the family. All needs need to be supported and if we don't offer choice, we a) are running a dictatorship b) other needs will not be met and that will cause more than discomfort/problems for those people which could make them the "new" underdog which uniting to force social disruption/upheaval to bring about change ... so wouldn't it be better to have a system where, through diversity of choice, the chance is to meet everyone's needs?
And, as we all know, MM is not the biggest name out there within the black community with name recognition linked to JM.
