New open post to discuss Meghan's upcoming NPR interview for "The Bench."
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.
Comments
After I submitted my comment, I remembered one person who was able to crawl out from under a terrible association with a British royal. Trevor Rees-Jones, Diana's bodyguard who was the only one to survive the crash in the tunnel, managed to rebuild his career after that colossal professional failure. A conspiracy theorist friend has just informed me that he is currently the head of security for AstraZeneca!
So there's at least one hopeful precedent for any aid who may want to come forward.
The best way to deal with someone as manipulative as she is to withhold all information. She doesn’t know what to do right now and is shaking in her boots. No time to prepare daggers and diversions! Boo Hoo!
Also read the latest DM ‘Enough’ by Royal reporters. The most striking thing they point out is that the row over the name was very manipulative, when there was backlash. ‘Well we wouldn’t have if we were told no.’ Again, creating false narratives and shifting the blame directly on the Queen. LOL.
No wonder she’s changed policy. They literally blamed the Queen for the media backlash of ‘lillibet’.
i still want to know why she wanted to avoid the UN women’s group. i just sense harkles and brf know something by more about fiji than we do.

Evidently, as far as the UN Women thing goes, they refused to make her an "ambassador," which they reserve for A-listers. Someone with her background (two-bit cable supporting actress) is only an "advocate." I don't know if she was aware that UN Women were the hosts of the whole Suva market event, with "branding" and all (special tent as HQ, lots of literature, maybe even goodies to hand out to the ladies running their stalls. But she was reportedly incensed when she saw it, and actually hissed at her aide, who fled to her car and burst into tears. Rebecca English said she saw the whole thing.
DM article: Meghan is ready for 'brutal showdown' with Buckingham Palace in bullying probe: Duchess demands 'point by point' breakdown of claims and will 'dispute them ALL', source claims
Hahahaha! The Palace owes her NOTHING. The demanding M is bringing a knife, and a paring knife at that, to a gunfight.
@Lt. Nyota Uhura:
Just a thought…
To paraphrase Blazing Saddles: “Guns? HMTQ don’t need no stinking guns.”
HMTQ has her own shiny new aircraft carrier. Beat THAT, Meghan.
After it completes its current service in the Middle East, perhaps the HMS Queen Elizabeth can be anchored off the shores of Montecito as a gentle reminder to Meghan of just WHO she’s dealing with.
As a courtesy gesture, the ship could quickly excavate a swimming pool for the chickens by lobbing a couple of shells at the Mudslide Mansion:-)
Re: Fiji
Rumor was that Harry's wife behaved shabbily at Fiji to get back at the UN for not having appointed her a global ambassador. There were UN Women at the event, so she walked out of the whole thing. That would teach them not to reject her again!
If true, the involvement of the UN may make this a bigger story than we think. We may all feel for the women at the market, but they don't really bring any weapons to this fight. The UN, on the other hand, must have some pretty big guns! Is Harry's wife currently in the crosshairs?
Happy Days. maybe lobbing a bunch of ratty wigs would be awesome too.
But seriously, M actually thinks she can beat the Queen. *eyes bugging out* ... on the other hand, this oughtta be good ;) As far as I'm concerned, she has awoken the sleeping giant, who is filled with a terrible resolve, to quote the Japanese admiral on Pearl Harbor Day.
But seriously, M actually thinks she can beat the Queen. *eyes bugging out*
Not just the Queen, but the entire British Royal Family, spanning several generations. And the British people. And the Australian people. And the Fijian people. And everyone who has ever seen the truth about her.
LT Nyota Uhura. thanks. now the in thing makes more sense. guess someone wasn’t ready by her briefing books or she would have known they were there. perhaps the mrs thought the brf set her up by having them there. narcs do think that way. i am still hoping there is more to fiji and we eventually find out.

That's about the extent of my Fiji knowledge, maybe other Nutties know more, but I remember reading somewhere that H and M demanded the WHOLE of Government House in Australia to themselves (!!!), which supposedly led to the hot tea-throwing incident.

Whoa, hadn't thought of the wider aspects. Welp, this REALLY oughtta be good 😈
she and Harry tried to take on and use the Canadian people. They actually thought that the could be parachuted in to act as Governor General or least squat and use the Canadian RCMP as their private security agency.
The Canadian people have a reputation of being very polite and nice, but they didn't put up with that for very long. Over 80k Canadians signed a petition to stop paying for their security just a month after their arrival.
@HappyDays: Hahahaha! The Palace owes her NOTHING. The demanding M is bringing a knife, and a paring knife at that, to a gunfight. Bwahahaha! My paring knives are pretty lethal. Maybe a butter knife!

For some reason I'm reminded of that scene in Indiana Jones where some random guy in a black ninja outfit and a turban is wildly swinging his scimitar around, threatening Indy, who calmly pulls out his handgun and *bang!*

___________
A slight correction if I may. Trevor Rees-Jones was employed by Mohamed Al-Fayed, not the BRF. I'm not sure about the 'colossal professional failure' you mention, he was opposed to Dodi's plan as were others. The article in the DM states:
'The bodyguards will go out of the front and act as decoys while the couple and Paul make good their escapes. The two bodyguards are horrified at the ‘bad plan’. There is a ‘heated debate’ during which Dodi tells his men: ‘It’s been okayed by MF [Mohamed Al Fayed], it’s been okayed by my father.’ A compromise is reached. Rees-Jones will go with the couple and Paul. Neither bodyguard is happy at this, but Dodi’s word is final.' They had no choice. It was stated at the time that had Diana not dispensed with her RPOs, employed by the Palace, this would never have happened.

Oh, my, the Daily Mail must have it wrong. After all, how could 6 and 6w be engaged in brutal anything when they are so VERY woke and caring? Surely they wouldn't deny staffers the opportunity to speak their truth, would they? (Sinking back into chaise lounge, fanning myself furiously.)
Somebody bring me my smelling salts and a glass of wine. I'm feeling faint.
Well my gracious. Have 6 and 6w lied about their compassion, or do they only feel compassion for themselves? They certainly felt no compassion whatsoever for Prince Philip on his deathbed, or for the Queen in mourning for Prince Philip, or for the Prince of Wales for his loss, the uncles and aunts in mourning, etc. etc. etc. Now it very much appears that 6w wishes to re-bully into silence the powerless people that complained about her bullying.
I can't decide if they remind me more of toddlers in the middle of a tantrum, or as poo-flinging monkeys throwing stink at everybody. Sigh. I suppose toddlers having a tantrum and decorating the walls with diaper content.
Thanks for the reminder to be more precise. By "a terrible association with a British royal," I meant simply that he was the bodyguard in the car with Diana when she died. His name could have so easily become notorious afterward. In my opinion, he's extremely lucky it didn't.
And by "colossal professional failure," I mean that he very publicly failed to do his job as a bodyguard. Yes, it may have been Dodi's bad decision, which he could not overrule; but it still can't be something a security professional would want on his record. I wouldn't like to have to explain something like that in a job interview.
I remember reading somewhere that H and M demanded the WHOLE of Government House in Australia to themselves (!!!), which supposedly led to the hot tea-throwing incident.
-----------
Yep, me too. I don't remember abt H but madam demanded the whole Government House, and she wanted a wing at Windsor castle (now that's big) (the Queen politely refused). Delusions of grandeur.
Indiana Jones convinced me to carry a handgun with me always for emergency use in case of swords or Nazis.
HMS Queen Elizabeth is now on her maiden deployment.
HMS Prince of Wales is slightly younger, still undergoing trials. She was anchored off St Ives/Carbis Bay for the G7.
I do like the idea of MM armed with a butter knife - Gags about not knowing which side her bread was buttered on seem in order!
We watched the old film about the Yangtze Incident the other evening - even HMS Amethyst in her final beaten-up state could have dealt decisively with MM - and Amethyst was a tiddler (>1400 tons) by comparison.
Thank you. In any case, Trevor Rees-Jones resigned from his job as a bodyguard the year after the accident, although his job was still available. Apparently, he is now head of global security at Astra Zeneca - I think you mentioned it earlier?

What if the it is linked back to the humanitarian attempts somehow? Not just the UN but somehow to everything since then? or that claim of maybe getting into politics with the humanitarian credentials? Maybe something about the Foundation (and their books)?

Many Fiji women-vendors-entrepreneurs were at the market that day waiting Meg's appearance. The UN Women organization was there. I believe that UN Women had made UN financed microloans and such to help these Fiji female entrepreneurs get them into gear. This was a feminist action by them and in my book was going on years before we ever heard of "woke".
Meghan arrived and in a fit, she cut her visit short. Thus shocking all assembled. Shows how Megs feminist talk is only for show, and is so much BS. This was Megs day to flaunt her racism at the darker Fijian women.
I very much believe this is true and probably a Palace leak.

@JennS.... I apparently missed some hoopla this morning, but I wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoy your comments and your input to this blog.
I like your idea of a repository blog where we can go and look up things by topic.
So often something will happen, and we will say to each other so exactly what did happen back then?
With your blog we will be able to go back and re-read exactly what happened when the topic first came up, and what has been said since then.
I hope that you're feeling better from your surgery. Sometimes the sad feeling can happen because the healing is kind of hard. Anyway, sending you good thoughts.
Yes! Do not let anybody dissuade you from your labor of love, JennS. I've been worried that you are doing too much too soon, rest and recover first.

How H and M got kicked out of Tyler Perry's place
https://twitter.com/SpringBrad1/status/1407249321595224065/photo/1
(click on image to read, click on arrow for 2nd page)
Note the "wanted Tyler Perry's whole house to themselves" ..... I dunno where this item came from, but it sure has the ring of truth to it, IMO
Book prominently placed
People with integrity and character do not demean people serving them and throw tantrums when things are not just so or when they think they deserve more. They just don’t!
6 and his wife should know and act better!
I recall reading when 6 w was on a UN women humanitarian trip to highlight how far some women and girls need to walk to get clean drinking water, she posed with the African children about 15 minutes long enough for the photo op and then left.
I regard her whole humanitarian persona as a PR creation rather than something real.
She is a narc. Narcs have only one cause they promote—themselves!
There is also more than one video of 6w pushing herself in front of Harry. One video is of her going before Harry when they are entering Charles’ birthday garden party a few days after the wedding and another video of her pushing herself ahead of Harry in Morocco.
She thinks this is the birth certificate.
https://twitter.com/Murky__Meg/status/1407443662494212099
Just read this on the Empress7
@houseofbrat found a birth certificate under the name of Diana Mary, who was born June 4th in Los Angeles, CA. No birth certificate for anyone named Lilibet Diana born June 4th in Santa Barbara, CA. And people discovered the Diana Mary name by looking up all the website domains that were registered with the name Mountbatten-Windsor.
But no name change document would be required, because it is already the baby's name. See the tweet for more of her thought process but I've covered it.
This child would then become Princess Diana. Boom.
@Midge - yes same source but I missed the part the first time about how the Lilibet scandal would be played off to smack the queen twice
It appears there is a hit for both Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor (in LA) and Diana Mountbatten-Windsor (SB).
Make of that what you will.
I just did a search for
dianamarymountbattenwindsor.com
and it says it's unavailable
Web domain DianaMaryMountbattenWindsor.com was registered March 2021.
The LilibetDiana domains, as we know, are far more recent.
Images of registration details in this tweet here: https://twitter.com/LibertyEv1776/status/1407457356674256896
Can there be multiple blogs. Sure.
The issue is that this however was becoming the topic instead of the real focus of the blog.
It is ok for people to voice an opinion other that the one you hold as long as you are not being dismissive of their opinion to hold it.
So please get back to the discussion. A thank you/shout out to those who are doing this already.
Which bit specifically? Registering the domains and doubling down on the news they told The Queen what they were calling their daughter, and not seeking permission ? Honestly, I’m not surprised just how low these two are willing to sink. 🤨
Have you managed to listen to Lady C’s new video yet? 🤩
Thank you.
I looked through the WHO IS accounts of many domains related. Curiously, Lilidiana.com was registered on May 30th.
The lillibet domains were not registered until the DAY she supposedly gave birth and afterwards. It makes much more sense ‘lilibet’ is a sick PR move and the child was always lilidiana or dianamary (announcement coming up).
That was uncalled for.
Do you have the domains archived? Would love to see that! This theory of lilibet never being the chosen name is too good to ignore.
Blind Item #13
Myself along with other tabloids that call out hypocrisy all pointed out that the alliterate one trademarked their kid's name to make a buck. They did so even after trashing the namesake and didn't even ask the namesake if they could have the trademark, despite the namesake owning the rights to it. Now, Kneepads put on their biggest pair in stock so they could say that it was to protect the child. Uh huh.

I enjoy reading your comments and is esp thankful for your articles from The Times and other rags here.
I agree with another poster that yr blog could be a great repository site. It will make our life much easier whenever we want to read up on specific articles.
That said, I hope you continue to post here - both articles and comments.
Sorry I didn’t see the squabble earlier. I did, though, check out your blog! Nice layout. The topics and proof are irrefutable. Unbelievable to me that Meghan thinks she can get away with all of this in the age of the internet.
Interesting point Tatty found of Tyler Perry posting an Instagram to sell Meghan’s book. That is so weird to me. He is a nice guy, and all, but why is he backing *her* at all. She’s an embarrassment. Was it possibly a paid promotion?
If Meghan wanted to protect her child, she shouldn’t keep associating her child with the problem (the BRF) and give the child such a prominent name. If she wanted to protect the child from domain name hijackings...well, her child is of a different generation where domains mean very little. Also, anyone can promote a site that messes with the lili name, it doesn’t have to be ‘the domain’. Poor excuses all around. What about protecting the 95 year old Queen?
I think She's had some work done. A little bit of tweaking and her wrinkles have really disappeared. Good for Her! I just wish that more widows would do something to pamper themselves.
A girl can dream.
MM allegedly claims the KP staff wasnt up to their job, could deal with the pressure working with her and couldnt understand how she wanted things run.
When i read that statement....from a 'whipsmart, great communicator, and someone who ran a successful business/blog' i have to laugh.
It sounds more like she is a very poor boss, has no managerial skills, and is incapable of giving clear direction or communicating her 'vision'.
Sounds more like she wasnt up to her job, couldnt deal with the pressure, and didnt care to learn the culture of her new company, the brf.
Couldn't agree more. I think it was shown (?) that she actually didn't run the blog, she would collect pictures and notes and Gina had somebody ghost write the blog.
If 1 employee claims bullying and she says no, they weren't up to the job. Well, that's believable. But its not 1, its 9 (so far). In that case the finger that was pointing at the employees turns round and points at self.
Maybe its like the baldwins, not sure the ivf pregnancy would actually take so they ALSO hired an ivf surrogate and now there are 2 lilgirl babies!
And with ivf they can just keep churning them out and knock out all the other relatives in line to the very very bottom of the list
DM harkles brutal showdown
MM allegedly claims the KP staff wasnt up to their job, could deal with the pressure working with her and couldnt understand how she wanted things run.
Since M doesn't know which staff are squealing on her bullying or what evidence thry have given the investigators, she must attack them all and suggest they are collectively incompetent. She is completely innocent of course. Don't forget she gave up her career (she was written out of without discussion), her home (she was renting), everything to be with H and dedicate herself to the royal family(for about a year, half of which was on maternity leave and various vacations). Then decided it was too toxic and racist to stay with the royal family (but demands money, security, offices, staff, private jets, yachts, helicopters, balcony appearances, carriage rides, tiaras, heirloom jewelry, Jubilee and other major event appearances, unlimited wardrobe spending, vacations, unlimited PR push, and titles). Did I miss anything? Oh wait, to be crowned Queen of the world.

The problem had to do with how the posts come in and did people want to switch to a different method of posting.
Complaints came as someone would see something and comment beneath that post. Others would do the same so it was not always clear where that post was in the line up as people were always adding new posts under existing posts all at different times. The conversation was difficult to follow if reading from the blog as it was always changing and it wasn't obvious where in the conversation someone wrote something that you wanted to respond to.
We stayed with this but switched it to a straight in consecutive time received post system.
How could I have forgotten the Canadian people? Mea culpa! They have spoken out against the couple almost as sharply as the British people have.
(I'm sorry for this late reply. I went offline soon after my short exchange with @Maneki and only remembered your comment when I came back to the blog just now.)
no problem. Sorry for mangling your name.
@Hunter
My first thought was: They still haven't honored the mother's side of the family!
And who was the Nutty who pointed out that Mrs. Harry ilked to do Virgin Mary poses?
Then I took @Tatty's suggestion and entered my own first and second name with Mountbatten-Windsor as the last name, plus California as the state, Los Angeles as the city, and the given birthdate . . . And hey, it looks as if I have a royal namesake in California, too!
I wonder why it would do that for any name combination with "Mountbatten-Windsor," as long as the city is Los Angeles. It doesn't do the same thing when the city is Santa Barbara.

Good one! You have covered most of The Delusional One's delusions and lies. What a farce! How crazy she is! But high entertainment value for us and at DM. We are connoisseurs of the whirling dervish madness that is Meghan Markle. Spin spin spin. Lie lie lie.
But really, MM is not intelligent to come up with all the above all by herself. SS and her other LA flacks and agents egg her on and give her fresh ideas. MM is more like an anti-Monarchy cabal of California a-holes. MM will not trust any British, she figures they all have pipelines back to the BRF.
Sorry for mangling your name.
Please don't worry about it! It's obviously a hard name to spell. On other blogs, people just address me as "E" or "En"! I'm still not sure why I used a Middle Earth name generator to pick my Blogger handle, but it has grown on me since 2003 and I can't imagine using another one.
i do find it curious. why fiji. why not the wedding stuff why not anything else. it could be good tea or perhaps more happened there than we know. and the brf is signaling you want to play we can play let’s talk fiji.
The wedding stuff is definitely one huge teapot that the BRF have simmering in their corner . . . but as it involves family members (Catherine and Princess Charlotte), perhaps they'd rather keep it quiet. Maybe it's also to protect the Queen's aide Angela Kelly, whose name has become entangled in the emerald tiara mess.
As far as I can tell, we don't know who might have leaked the Fiji info (though it was most likely a Harkle aide), so that person is still protected. I'm sure Mrs. Harry would love another "point by point" breakdown of the Fiji claims!
...
Prince Edward's children, Louise and James ) are grandchildren of the Queen and therefore, according to the 1917 LP, they should have received the titles of Prince and Princess as Eugenie and Beatrice, daughters of Prince Andrew. But Prince Edward’s statement, however, came with many surprises. First of all, it broke with a centuries-old tradition that children of the monarch were created Dukes upon marriage. Prince Edward became Earl of Wessex, but the statement made clear that the Royal Family intended for him to be created Duke of Edinburgh after both Charles’s accession and Prince Philip’s death.
It also announced that The Queen decided, with the consent of both Edward and Sophie, that any children the couple might have together would not be given the style His or Her Royal Highness, but instead be styled as children of an Earl. That makes Prince Edward’s children The Queen’s first male-line descendants not to have royal titles, and in accordance with Her Majesty’s 1960 Order-in-Council, they are the firsts to be allowed the proper use of the Mountbatten-Windsor family name.
As a result, their daughter is The Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, as opposed to HRH Princess Louise of Wessex, and their son is James, Viscount Severn, who uses his father’s subsidiary title as a courtesy and is not HRH Prince James of Wessex.
This change in the Royal Family may come as consequence of the Prince of Wales’s idea that the family should have a smaller amount of members to perform royal duties and be supported by taxpayer money.
Note: However, Edward and Sophie appear to be taking on the roles of working senior members. They already appear on the official website of the Royal family in a position superior to the Sussex. Therefore, when he is named Duke of Edinburgh, his sons can have the status of princes and HRH (if he wishes) But they all need to be named by the queen. Hugs❤️
that may have been the original plan of HM and DE, but once PC becomes King, he may decide to change and do something else. I doubt he would, but he could.
and PW and Kate must be looking at all this and JH’s stockholm syndrome and trying to figure out the best way to handle titles and avoid their own children going off the deep end.
"Mary," like Mary Queen of Scots, who many believe/believed to be the rightful heir to the throne?
Which of course would relegate QEII and Harry's whole family to nothing of much significance?
I'm sure there's nothing to be read into that name choice!!!
Given the hard work of Prince Edward and Sophie, does anyone think their children will become full working royals in the future? Louise and James are at a comfortable age to bridge the gap between Prince William's and Prince George's generations -- and by the time they become adults, most of the current senior royals will either be very elderly or have passed on.
There are two other obvious candidates for picking up the slack, but they might not be asked to even if Lily and James say no. Many moons ago on this blog, someone said that the BRF actually have disciplined Prince Andrew for his actions, although it may not seem so to mere commoners. His punishment is that his daughters will never have a royal destiny.
Oh, speaking of Andrew -- my aforementioned conspiracy theorist friend believes that his crimes are actually so terrible that poor Prince Harry has become a sacrificial lamb to distract from them! I'm not a fan of the sugar what-about-ism that deflects to Andrew whenever there's criticism of Harry's wife, but my friend isn't being a sugar. She points out that it's highly unusual for a scandal like this to rock a royal family -- and for someone with Harry's wife's sordid background even to get a toe in the door. That Harry is a man of weak character who was manipulated by a narcissist is a very plausible narrative (and our personal favorite here at Nutty's place); but she thinks the persona of Mr. Montecito is as fake as Hero Harry was.
I don't share her interpretation of events, but I do think it's another interesting example of how people can have access to the exact same data and come up with a completely different conclusion!
It will be interesting to see if Edward actually becomes Duke of Edinburgh upon PC accession to the throne.
It would be shabby of Prince Charles not to honor his parents' wishes in this. But if he did decide differently, I have a feeling that his youngest brother wouldn't go whining to the press about his "ultimate birthright."
Prince Andrew Case. Yes, Prince Andrew's crimes are terrible. But I often ask Sugars why the FBI isn't handling the Andrew case. Investigations in this case are continuing in the US and not England. Therefore, the land of Uncle Sam must also answer that question. Hugs❤️
"Mary," like Mary Queen of Scots, who many believe/believed to be the rightful heir to the throne?
IF they are indeed planning to drop the Lilibet for Mary and to say it was because the mean old BRF bullied them, then they couldn't have found a shadier replacement! That Mary, Queen of Scots opposed Queen Elizabeth I is just the cherry on top.
Here’s a 6 year old interview (when Meghan was 33-36) in which the interviewer asks if she was a children’s book what would she be named, “The Glorious Adventures of Freckle Faced Meg” is her response.

“can one get the name of the biological parents from the birth certificate?”
If there was a surrogacy that happened in California, the answer is no. A pre-birth order would have been requested and granted that put Harry and his wife on the birth certificate.
https://californiasurrogacycenter.com/blog/2018/12/06/what-is-a-pre-birth-order-and-why-is-it-so-important/
There's no way Harry's wife would have skipped this step and no competent lawyer would have let her.
"knocked over" is the new "thrown"
Ha! The first report said the tea was "thrown;" the first revision said it was merely "spilled;" and now we hear it was "knocked over." Perhaps the next story will say that "a hot drink" might have been present at the scene, but recollections vary, etc.
Lol!
"Personally, I'm hoping - though it's a long shot - that the alleged marriage to Giuliano during Markle's college years turns out to be valid because some critical paperwork was not signed."
I am glad you mentioned this alleged marriage because it is almost invisible (due to scrubbing of madame's past??) I frankly thought it might have happened but many bloggers on this site & others Do Not (from my recollections the few times it has come up.) If it was in California and she got an annullment then I can see why it is not legally recognized by many.
Your scenario is great and I would so dearly wish it would come true. We can dream!

If you are of the mindset that Harry’s wife has backers, the case can be made that Prince Andrew is being used as a distraction by those backers.
Many people in the US want to know why the US Attorney General isn’t in the news demanding many of the high-profile Americans come in to answer questions. Epstein’s flight logs contain the names of politicians (including at least one president), prominent attorneys, C-Level execs for some major corporations, and just rich dudes with too much time and money on their hands. Prince Andrew is the only one they are coming after by name.
I’m not suggesting Prince Andrew isn’t responsible for criminal activity, but again, if you buy into the idea that Meghan has backers it is possible to think those backers got to someone in the US Attorney’s Office.
Nutty's blog is not linked to it in any way except that a regular poster from here has started their own blog. "A Cache of Clues" is NOT a satellite of this blog.
Nutties are free to visit or not visit it like they do any and all other resources on the Sussexes and the BRF. You can post links and make comments reviewing content from there. What you cannot do is treat this space as an annex to continuously discuss troubleshooting and other intricacies of that blog. Those sorts of discussions are best housed there.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
So we have 1) Meghan was an author at 14, 2) Archie might go to London, and 3) Portrait included in RF exhibit
Very sugary articles. Something bad must be coming.
"It also announced that The Queen decided, with the consent of both Edward and Sophie, that any children the couple might have together would not be given the style His or Her Royal Highness, but instead be styled as children of an Earl. That makes Prince Edward’s children The Queen’s first male-line descendants not to have royal titles, and in accordance with Her Majesty’s 1960 Order-in-Council, they are the firsts to be allowed the proper use of the Mountbatten-Windsor family name."
If I am reading the above correctly I don't think that's quite right (and neither does Sophie apparently.)
https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/lifestyle/a32796791/sophie-wessex-children-lady-lousie-spencer-royal-titles/
The Wessex children are now HRHs although as stated above, they are not styled that way at the parents' request (and Queen's order.) At age 18 they can choose to be HRH Princess Louise and HRH Prince James. Personally, unless dragged into royal duties I can't see that happening as private as they've been. And I can't imagine they'd want to do royal stuff and hope they are not pressured to by Charles simply because he's determined Andrew's daughters shouldn't be allowed to. But no new royal commands are needed for HRH to happen for them. They already have it.

IF the Sussexes did choose the name Mary, and if it represents a royal name (big ifs), I'm not sure that means Mary, Queen of Scots is the source. What about Queen Mary, George V's wife? And incidentally, a paternal-side source of red hair for Harry? And original royal owner of the wedding tiara M wore?
HM's full name is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, after her mother (consort of George VI), her and gt.grandmother (consort of Edward VII) and grandmother (consort of George V) - she of the `monoboob' as one of us once said.
My comment was referring to what looks like the possible devious purpose behind the naming scam, assuming the reports about birth records from LA are true.
That is, setting every one up to think one thing (baby is named Lillibet) causing no end of distress, all the while having named her `after the Queen' by using `Mary'.
Done with the intention of pulling a switch on us so, doubtlessly, she can say the `racist family made her change it'. So of course HM would have approved of `Mary' and they never mentioned `Lillibet'.
The `surprise guest' at the unveiling wouldn't happen to be Diana Mary, would it. Surely H wouldn't bring her, would he?
As for it being `beyond evil', I think only the most malevolent mind could have devised yet another twist in how to use one's own tiny baby as a weapon. It's a particularly nasty piece of psychological warfare.
Abbyh and I are possibly the only people who know, apart from JennS, what really happened.
I'm sticking to the rules and saying nothing beyond I never set out to upset anyone.
Yes, and also using him as goodwill bait with the family.
He’d be there on his own, feeling very very chilly due to his ongoing cringeworthy actions. Archie would provide an excellent buffer against the family. (some of ) The Fam wants to see Arch, maybe it’s a way to wrangle an invite for a playdate with Arch’s cousins.

I obtained this info from someone who works inside KP, and was given permission to release it last night. They left the UK because Whorable and Haz got caught stealing charity funds. The RF and especially William do not misappropriate £.

How about that?
Yes, it could be `Archie' although might MM come over with the babe but stay somewhere under the radar, just letting H borrow her for a while?
Think of the drama! Unveiling the statue in the presence of another `Princess Diana'!!!
She's devious enough.
I hope the family has Social Services on speed dial - they can be very tough about taking children into care, even if it means police support, I believe! What a jolly thought!

I believe there was rumor or speculation about this early into Megxit. I would believe H $M didn't have unlimited funding from Charles, so they decided they would help themselves go additional funding via charity purse. That is essentially what they are doing now with Archwell. In the US you only need to donate 3% to your cause, the rest on salaries and administrative costs.
"...Archie would provide an excellent buffer against the family. (some of ) The Fam wants to see Arch, maybe it’s a way to wrangle an invite for a playdate with Arch’s cousins."
Maybe. But I'm not convinced "the Fam" wants to see Archie. I mean, I'm sure they care about his welfare and hope he's ok and well-cared for in CA, but why would they necessarily want to see him? I guess Charles might but I don't know that others would. (And it's been reported Charles is going to Scotkand-- certainly wouldn't expect him at the statue ceremony.)
Maybe my extended family is weird but people aren't always anxious to see everybody's toddler children. Inquire after, yes. Hear reports, sure. See pictures, maybe. But see in the flesh? Not necessarily. Especially if the child has been seen only once or twice in its entire life and hasn't been seen in person for over 1 1/2 years. Who is going to want to "play with him?" Many of the RF children probably have no clue who he is. And except for Louis, he's a bit young for his cousins (the Cambridge children) to play with.
If Harry brings A it's for other reasons I think
I'm as confused as you are by now!
I had assumed, from the 1917 rules, that it'd be automatic as soon as Charles becomes king. It's hard to see how PC can prevent this happening unless, as someone here has suggested, he has Letters Patent drawn up in advance, ready to be signed the moment after HM has breathed her last and the doctor(s) sign(s) the medical certificate of death.
That could save some fuss - otherwise he might have to strip them of the princely tiles later. If, however, C intends to strip the Harkles as well, he might already be prepared for the row.
Yes, `financial irregularities' was the first possible reason that occurred to me when the funds were split and they left KP.
@Lizzie
I agree - there'll be ulterior motives. Perhaps they've already got the lad on short commons so they can present a half-starved waif to induce guilt and the loosening of purse strings? I'm only (half) joking.
Perhaps this message will clarify things about the blog better.
You want to post criticisms of the blog and how it's moderated, you have every right to. However, I want to say that posts that disparage @Nutty and @abbyh will not be kept up. As a journalist, you of all people would know that the right of Free Speech is about protection from GOVERNMENT retaliation and censorship. Further, European democracies don't protect hate speech. Private spaces and entities have no obligation to protect anyone's free speech. Nutty's blog is a private space and right or wrong, we have discretion on what stays on the blog.
We will never be perfect but we have strived to be free and open to everyone. What we will not support is posters attacking other posters. @abbyh wrote up her post to address someone specifically. She did not want to embarrass them on a public forum for repeating a pattern of inappropriate behavior they have been prone to for as long as I know them on this blog. @abbyh also offered a way for posters to appeal to moderators if they disagreed with our choices.
As for why I set up the guideline of not discussing the blog's history or other posters, it was to avoid a pattern that keeps repeating here. Posters make comments about alleged past behaviors to criticize and foment ill will towards each other. Bad reactions on all sides are always the result. Such discourse destroys every chance we give for posters to make amends, move on, and enjoy this blog.
We are not interested in punishing anyone or hampering free discourse. Right or wrong, what we promote is addressing the inappropriate behavior as it comes and ask posters to move on. Our guidelines have the goal of maintaining peaceful, friendly discourse. We hope that posters will support us in keeping a peaceful blog. When some cannot, we have limited tools to stop them. We cannot block posters. Also, while I check in 6-12 times a day and read every post, full moderation would stop free discourse, something the majority of posters want.
I described what our approach is. While never perfect, our choices and actions are in good faith.
I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I'm rather apprehensive about the Diana statue unveil. It is a prime opportunity for a certain crazy person to reveal her crazy in all its full glory on the world stage. I have a feeling that she's going to take full advantage. I do empathize with the royal family with having to deal with a *very* unstable person or persons at a memorial to an unstable person.
I disagree with everything you wrote
This blog is very well run by the mods these days. So what if Nutty is in the background these days/ The mods are not her dupes or stooges. They like this blog so have volunteered (thanks!) to maintain it, this takes their time and attention. It really is as simple as this!
The United States Constitution was drafted in 116 days. The Constitutional Convention was a group of delegates from each state that gathered to write the Constitution. It convened on May 25, 1787 and adjourned on September 17, 1787. While there were numerous discussions, drafts and rewrites of the Constitution, the final document was completed at the Constitutional Convention which lasted slightly more than 100 days.
116 days! With intense debates and politicking every day..... This was very difficult to pull off. This blog is one hundredth as difficult. And one thousandth as serious as the United States Constitution. And the Magna Carta, where I am going to guess that knives were drawn a few times by that rowdy gang of Englishmen.
Yes, I think that too.
Might she shake the gates of KP demanding to be let in - in front of her own cameraperson, of course?
Will she do a pap walk in front of newscasters, like the guy outside the Houses of Parliament, with placards proclaiming `Meghan is Innocent! OK?'
Or a very public suicide attempt? If she jumps in front of a Tube train, or off one of the London Bridges, it won't just be an `attempt' but it'd achieve her aim of traumatising as many bystanders as possible. Perhaps she hopes to be feted like the late Diana? If she survives, would she claim `The Royal Family made me do it!'?
I can tell her it won't work - most of the population would at least breathe a sigh of relief, if not actually bringing out the tables for a street party. She'd end up permanently at Frogmore, which would be ironic.
As long as it's nothing worse.
I believe that 6 and 6w demonstrate a "certain moral flexibility" that would allow them to steal (although they would probably refer to it as "appropriating") with a clear conscience. I would not be at all surprised if that were to have been the case.
There are social programs to help the poor would probably be the rationale.
I like your analogies but may I point you to this site with its list of names and biographies?
https://magnacarta800th.com/schools/biographies/the-25-barons-of-magna-carta/
`...that rowdy gang of Englishmen' were Norman barons! ie French-speaking descendants of Norwegian Vikings who had been allowed to settle in northern France. The clues in the name `Norman' = North Men.
Not an English name among them.
The English had been subjugated and they had lost control of their land. Some Normans took English wives but the majority of the English were reduced to serfdom/slavery - the Domesday Book records that a parish near here had 11 households, two of which were of slaves (I don't know the exact word used - I can't read the writing, let alone translate the Latin abbreviations) the others were peasants who still were tied to the land and couldn't leave ie serfs
Also, Old English had been both a written and spoken language, yet for about 200yrs after 1066 it more or less ceased to be written. It had to be reconstructed to produce Middle English. Chaucer was born in 1343.
Thank you, Nutty, abbyH & Charade for all you do to keep us on track. Thank you so much- I say that with great feeling.
There are social programs to help the poor would probably be the rationale.
Yes, Robin Hood robbed the rich to help the poor - the difference here being that the H$Ms probably defined themselves as `poor'!
You said the magic word Vikings. Vikings! No wonder you like vacations in Iceland. I promise to read up on your Magna Carta.
The recent six season Viking TV series was very well done. I learned a lot. I know some artistic license was taken. Vikings TV series was not slick the way Hollywood movies are. With mucho CGI etc. Such as in Game of Thrones, which I refused to watch after season 4. It became too ridiculous.
Thank you for clarifying etc, abbyh’s post. 🤗
@ WBBM, @ Sir Stinxalot,
I just have a few doubts that KP would say it is ok to release that information. But, having said that clearly some one has given Lacey and the press the green light to into stories that seemed to be suppressed.
Some suggested Netflix gave Lacey the go ahead, I guess making millions from showing the brothers at war trumps loyalty to newly taken on film producers.
Yes, it all seems hinky. I do not know whether or not charity revelation is true; I just know that I would not be running down the street screaming "Nooooooo! Everything I believed is a LIE!" if it were. I would just nod my head and say something like "They strike me as the kind that would steal coins off a dead man's eyes."
i understand what your are saying. Archie would be primaily be a buffer for JH probable chilly reception. JH has burned all his bridges, he’s got nothing left in the UK.
While PC is going into hiding in Scotland… HM is still around and i think would want to see Archie in person if possible. thereby also allowing the grey suits that keep track of succesion stuff a look too. (might as well try to get some DNA from a nappy while they are at it lol)
it’s interesting that no one has seen the new tyke and there are very very few pictures of the first one.
Many on this blog have long speculated a fraud around the tykes ( i happen to believe he’s real and the same kid )
Any changeling baby could be passed off as the new one and it would be easy enough to change the second if ever needed. while they are down the line in succession, some disaster could happen that moves them up in line.
Also, when the harkles REALLY become desperate for money they can sell some of their fertilized eggs or JH’s swimmers that are still sitting in the IVF clinics freezer for millions of dollars. LOL
My love of Iceland started with its landscape, geologyand flora, now grown to history and language.
A few oddments that may amuse you:
Apparently one of the `vikings' in the Kirk Douglas film of 1958 forgot to take off his wristwatch!
in England, `Viking' originally meant any seaborne raider, from the term `to go a-viking', whether Danish or Norwegian. Later, it came to mean just those from N-way. We are now getting history rewritten that they came in peace, as if! Their travels really were extraordinary, from the eastern shores of the US down to Constantinople.
They didn't wear helmets with horns either - that's Wagnerian fantasy!
Personally, they should cancel the statue ceremony. Why torture the public this way?
Well, it has been long planned. Can you imagine the flying monkeys that would be loosed by the wicked witch if it were cancelled? I am worried about William's personal safety on the UK's behalf, though, but I'm sure his security is very good. I hope Harry's security will be ready to yank him out at any inappropriateness.
Also, when the harkles REALLY become desperate for money they can sell some of their fertilized eggs or JH’s swimmers that are still sitting in the IVF clinics freezer for millions of dollars. LOL
I'm sure that they'd run through the egg money (grin) PDQ.
Re Luca Twitter, another Nutty mentioned the same a couple of days ago. I wouldn't be surprised if madam thought she was rightly entitled to help herself to money from a charity.
As for 'a very public suicide attempt', the strumpet sees herself as wonderful, definitely well above the rest of us mere mortals and this would stop any suicide ideations, I think. I wouldn't rule out some grandiose gesture, though, should she make an appearance (unlikely).
The Vikings came from Denmark too, which is where were they started, Norway being then mostly uninhabited. Re the origin of the word, I found this interesting https://www.etymonline.com/word/viking
@Jhanoi I too think Archie exists but I think the Markles have deliberately introduced other kids into various pictures pretending that it is Archie. There seems to be a tall largish fair haired child like Harry and a small dark haired child like Megs. I just don't see how they could have got away with the child not existing but then again it's the Markle Show.
Well, if 6 DOES bring a child, I certainly hope he brings one that can pick him out of a crowd in case child gets separated from him. Child not recognizing him would be awkward. (I'll get the popcorn.)
During the court case many of us were disappointed that employees working for the RF were not asked to testify. Could the RF have engineered this so that the employees would not be forced to hire lawyers for themselves in an expensive court case? During the Lewinsky scandal, a lot of the public was incensed that low level administrative staff for the Clintons had to lawyer up at great cost to the modestly paid staff members. If the RF paid for their employees' representation, that would be an additional expense for the RF. Who would pay? The Sovereign grant? The RF personally?
Lady CC seems to think that Lacey has done a 180 in his depiction of the Harkles, & I agree with others that his info is pretty damning of them, & am sure Lacey is aware of how litigious 6 & 6w are, so his info is probably backed up pretty solidly. Letting Lacey leak this stuff is a way to get it out there without an expensive court case. In any case, it's a win-win for Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, which owns both the London Times & Harper Collins, which published the Lacey book.
If the RF has done this to protect current & former staff, nice one, RF. If not, it's still ok.
This is why someone created those put a wristband with a rope on your kid's wrist and attach the other end to yours.
I tried one of those when I took 2 kids on the train to the museum. While waiting for the train to arrive, they wrapped me up by moving counter to each other to amusement of a bystander.
I agree. I think that the 6w attempt to get names of staff that were complaining was to sue them into oblivion or intimidate them into silence with the threat.
I suppose it depends which period we're discussing as to whether it's viking or Dane. I'm still trying to get a handle on it.
We don't know for certain where the raiders at Portland in 789 ( ASC) came from. They slew the reeve. Then, in 893, where did the Lindisfarne raiders come from? They were just known as Northmen.
I haven't yet dug into the Great Heathen Army (apparently `heathen' & `pagan' are non pc now - they are `Nordic polytheists'!) They're often described as Vikings but I largely agree - Guthrum was a Dane, Alfred is always said to have been fighting the Danes, the land where Ethelred `tolerated them was the Danelaw.
Olaf Tryggvasson was born in Norway 963 - his father was said to be `King of Viken'. He'd been baptised but wasn't confirmed until 994 at Andover, Hampshire. He promised to behave himself forthwith and kept his word.
see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viken_(region)
The army that besieged and burnt Exeter in 1001 was led by Sweyn Forkbeard, a Dane, father of Cnut.
Rollo the Ganger, ancestor of Wm I, came from Alesund in Norway.
Should we use `viking' for the sea-borne Scandinavians who did the hit-and-run raids and, in the south of England at least, call the rest Danes, unless we know for certain they were Norwegian? I gather `viking' is the word for that kind of behaviour.
The situation may well have been different in northern England. I gather that in S.Norway at least, there were settlements clinging to the coast but inland was v. inhospitable so Scotland & Northumbria were better.
I hope we're not back to the days when kingship could be decided by violence - I gather the English kings had a lot trouble from their younger brothers - nothing seems to have changed!
Artistic licence, basically made up to suit. So The Crown has a lot of fiction within it. 😳Lacey thought it would serve him well to write an alternative narrative, it appears to me he was in cahoots with the duo who has a so called deal with Netflix. 😉Lacey used to have a good reputation but his last book badly damaged that and that’s why he’s back peddling what he wrote now. 🥴
Robert Lacey
@robertlacey_com
Kate Williams she has a PhD.
He has me confused though. Netflix does issue disclaimers about the veracity of the Crown, particularly with regard to conversations that nobody else has witnessed but I've met those who see it as Gospel truth.
How far has Lacey compromised his integrity?
You too qualify for an honorable tribal membership. Let's call it my Apache Latte ;)
I hear you... and that is great news. Thanks :)
Great news! And why wouldn’t they! Lol. ‘Permission!’ Warby was probably humiliated at the Oprah revelations and lies. People hate him for that ruling!
Thank you, Lady W...
I'm pleased to so many of you here now - it was very lonely this morning.
Am I right in thinking that you have links to St Albans and Aberdeenshire, if so, we have something in common. If not, my apologies, wrong poster!
Even so, I can't imagine anyone wanting to get even 2m close to him - might she have loaded him up with the virus?
Anything's possible with her, I speculate.
St Albans- oh blimey! What was the give away?
Aberdeenshire? Husband's got relatives there but we're only on Christmas card terms.
I Wonder if witnesses will now be called.......
I can still see Herbert Lom in `North West Frontier', crouched over that machine gun on the train (I do hope I've got the right person).
I doubt if anyone would dare show that film these days.
Fab news! 😁Everything crossed they win!!! 🤩
Maybe I'll post it later with a disclaimer then :-)
You've a better memory than I! Yes, I admit it, I'm an Albanian.
My family moved away 7 decades ago but it still feels like home - we drop in there from time to time to see friends - can't wait to feel free to head that way again.
I've lived in NW3 - Haverstock Hill, in a ghastly rooming house when I first started work (5 guineas a week - my monthly take home was £70) for a `flatlet' ie bedsit + tiny kitchen with ancient gas-cooker, wash basin and Ascot water heater. I left at the first opportunity. There's a block of swanky flats there now.
My family left St Albans 40 years ago and I'd have no hope of ever buying a home there or in North London again. Our old house went on the market for the first time since we sold it a few years ago and both parents nearly cried.....
Schooling in St A - I did one term in the Reception Class at the Camp School, spent most of the time standing in the corner, facing the wall, because Teacher thought I had too much to say for myself. Well, I thought I'd gone there to learn to read, not mess around with bricks. Got my own back, was horribly sick at the Christmas party - I'd never seen so much food!
I was sent home in the care of the scruffiest little boy in the class but have never forgotten the tenderness he showed me, arm around my shoulders, as he steered me to my front door.
Now to more serious things - ANL's appeal!
Thanks for the info on the Viking. I'm certainly not an expert!
@The Grangle
Fabulous news re. ANL. Even better news when they win their appeal :-) (hoping & praying).
Please don't tell me someone's been having us on...
Yes, I do remember him in that film (it was shown just recently on Talking Pictures I think) also The Ladykillers. But I first liked him in The Human Jungle. I would have been about 9 I think and I've liked him ever since. Of course he's dead now.
Please don't tell me someone's been having us on...
Same here, I couldn’t find anything either. 🥴
I shall be interested to see if witnesses will be called.
WBBM - You are fortunate that you only spent a term staring at the wall.... Both primary and secondary school walls are imprinted on my memory forever and I believe I still owe the secondary school at least a solid months worth of detention.......
Even accused her of manufacturing the threatening emails about her children herself.

Twitter needs to be cancelled.
In thinking about the Diana statue unveiling, I think that Meghan would LOVE to come but only if she could make some sort of shock appearance that would put all attention on her. But the palace would never allow that. For one because they would know she was coming and the suitable security would be arranged and for two, well, they aren't going to allow her to play games anymore. Meghan cannot attend pre-arranged events anymore because of the high risk of her being booed. So, she'd have to slink in, and stand wherever she's told to stand and that does NOT suit her. How many times have we seen her at events in the past with a 'face on that would stop a clock' as my grandmother would say.
https://www.datalounge.com/thread/28775757-anl-granted-right-to-appeal-the-summary-judgement-of-high-court-in-favour-of-meghan-markle!
Yer tez:
ANL Granted Right to Appeal the Summary Judgement of High Court in Favour of Meghan Markle!
This is more bad news for what is turning out to be, since the first Oprah interview, increasingly bad PR for the Sussexes.
Bear in mind, this means that ANL (the parent company of the Mail on Sunday, which published Markle Sr.'s letter (not in full, though), has been granted the right to challenge and try to overturn the Summary Judgement that Mr Justice Warby handed down so suddenly, without allowing the Defendant to present the expanded Defence he permitted them to include just a couple of months earlier.
Only if the Court of Appeal overturn's Warby's judgement does the case go back to the High Court for (finally) a trial. So, a trial is still nowhere in view.
Just the same, this is bad news for Meghan Duchess of Sussex, who thought it was done and dusted and she could just collect her damages.
It was also somewhat unexpected. The CoA must have found some reason in ANL's argument even to grant the right to appeal - the Appeals court is usually loathe to challenge a standing decision.
Should the unexpected happen, and the judgement be overturned, then a full trial will not be in doubt, and the PEOPLE Five can kiss their anonymity goodbye, the Palace Four (Knauf, Latham, Cohen, and Jones - that staff that Meghan's PR rep just called "incompetent and not up to the standard she demanded for her 'work') will be able to come forward with their version of events.
And as Meghan was stupid enough to call experienced, successful staff "incompetent" to excuse her treatment of them, they'll probably be only too delighted to appear as witnesses for ANL.
Really - they keep aiming for the Palace turrets, and instead the grenades just keep coming back through the windows of Casa Montecito.
The Oprah interview whilst Philip was dying and the Queen grieving, Harry's poorly received whingeing about his childhood and his parents and his grandparents, then the stupidity of the baby name debacle which left him branded as a liar including the registering of the domain names before he even called the Queen (how stupid can you get?), her book flopping, the nasty story about why Meghan left the Fiji Food Market event, Lacey's "re-editing" book making it clear the bullying story has legs, and now ANL, against all odds, granted the right to appeal Warby's suspiciously sudden Summary Judgement.
Not a good couple of months. I predict more grenades re titles and race conversations and victimhood and smearing of the poor girl . . . until they've built the Queen so solid a case for taking the titles and/or amending the 1917 Titles Act to restrict HRHs to children and grandchildren of direct heirs only that no one will do anything but applaud when she does.

It's normal for them to get appeals. What's abnormal is people who know nothing about the legal system trying to say this is somehow "bad news" for Meghan and Harry. It was expected.
I saw that attack on Camilla earlier on. Absolutely disgusting... as is Natalie Rowe!
As for Twitter, it was great when it first started out... but descended into hell after only a few years. I gave up on it about 4/5 years ago and nothing on earth would entice me to go back.
BUT most of us believe Harry is need of money and to somehow rebuild some connection so he'll likely try to go meet with his Grandmother and Dad. If he does bring Archie, then we are 100% assured that he needs reconciliation (read that as money)
Re the appeal, I couldn't find anything either. I checked the Datalounge and this is what Wikipedia says:
'Its core community of predominantly anonymous posters share news, opinions, gossip, personal histories, and political views from a gay and lesbian perspective.'
...
'While the reliability of gossip items has always been questionable, DataLounge is still frequently mentioned as a source on items at other news and gossip sites, including NewNowNext,the now-defunct Gawker, Queerty, and Dlisted.'
Wait and see...
BUT most of us believe Harry is need of money and to somehow rebuild some connection so he'll likely try to go meet with his Grandmother and Dad.
It has been reported that H will be unable to see 'papa' whilst in the UK as Charles will be in Scotland.
Haha... didn't he just! ;-)
Thank you!
Thank Heaven it's true - we now have the receipts - Court papers no less! Granted yesterday. I was quite worried about it.
I got a fairly good view of them on my desktop. This calls for a (small) celebration - crack open the Lucozade!
That's a very good move by Charles - don't give the blighter (euphemism) the chance to twist one's words.
I wonder what the grounds were for it being granted?
Was new information laid before the Court?
Or were the holes in her case now obvious?
That whatever her private reason was, it's not valid?
`Miscarriage' `pregnancy' strangely close together?
id HM have another word?
Whatever it was, the important thing is it did the trick.
Yippee!
The attack on Camilla Tominey is disgusting but this is nothing new. She wrote an article in the Saturday supplement of the Telegraph several weeks ago and mentioned it.
Here are some excerpts from the article:
Having a hind thicker than a rhino’s, it wasn’t the repeated references to my being ‘a total c—’ that particularly bothered me, nor even the suggestion that I should have my three children put up for adoption. At one point someone even said it would be a good idea for me to drink myself to death like my mother, about whose chronic alcoholism I have written extensively.
No, what really got me was the appalling spelling and grammar. I mean, if you’re going to hurl insults, at least have the decency to get my name right.
Yet in order to understand just how it has come to pass that so-called #Sussexsquaders think nothing of branding all royal correspondents ‘white supremacists’ regardless of who they write for, or sending hate mail to our email addresses, offices – and in some cases, even our homes – it’s worth briefly
going to back to when I first broke the story that Prince Harry was dating an American actor in the Sunday Express on 31 October 2016. Headlined: ‘Royal world exclusive: Harry’s secret romance with TV star’, the splash revealed how the popular prince was ‘secretly dating a stunning US actress, model and human rights campaigner’.
Despite my now apparently being on a par with the Ku Klux Klan for failing to acknowledge Meghan as the next messiah, it was actually not until the fifteenth paragraph of that original article that the ‘confident and intelligent’ Northwestern University graduate was described as ‘the daughter of an African-american mother and a father of Dutch and Irish descent’.
...
Trolls suggested that I should have my three children put up for adoption
coverage works roughly like this: good royal deeds = good publicity. Bad royal deeds = bad publicity. We effectively act as a critical friend, working on behalf of a public that rightly expects the royals to take the work – but not themselves – seriously.
...
Yet despite my general sense of bewilderment at the menacing Megbots, I can’t say it didn’t appal me to discover a close friend had received online abuse, purely by dint of being my mate. After discussing the lengths the troll must have gone to to track her down, she asked me, ‘Do you ever worry someone might do something awful to you?’ Er, not until now, no.
Of course it’s upsetting, even for a cynical
old-timer like me. Worse still are people who actually know me casting aspersions on my profession on social media. Often these are the same charlatans who would think nothing of sidling up to me for the latest gossip on the Royal family, while publicly pretending that reading any such coverage is completely beneath them.
I'm sure I posted the article at the time but we get some much news & info, it's easy to forget.
You may well have posted it as some of it does sound familiar... but not all, so thanks for posting again! :)
crack open the Lucozade
Would you mind if I partake in something a little stronger? ;-)
Yipee indeed! Many thanks to @TheGrangle for bringing us such uplifting news!

I don't know how #6w, or her creature, Scabies will spin this one. Is it a 'triumph?'
@KCM1212, The threats to Camilla Tominey & her family are monstrous, & I've had the impression that various reporters in the royal rota have been getting them since #6w first appeared, any time something slightly unfavorable was printed about their idol. It's good this stuff is getting out in the open. Other reporters like Richard Palmer have noted that they have had to delete the hate tweets. It looks like #6 & #6w & their supporters are being slowly unmasked. As for their contributions so far to anyone's mental health, Harry & Oprah's mental health show has a 5.2 rating on IMDB. That's very, very low. Surely Apple could have paid some bots to push it higher, like other companies do. If Harry's message is of any value, it looks like no one is buying it.
