It feels like things have been quiet.
Sure we hear of this bit of news that they are doing this. Or have done that (not always with pictures which then begs the question: did it really happen?). Or read that one of them is about to do something.
So many questions swirl around them.
Why are the exposures and interests appear to be more scattershot than a few general areas to be grouped under? Consistently meaning the same groups or group types.
Why does the clothing still not seem to match the season they are in? Are they still able to find people willing to offer stuff or are they running out of designers? Or are they just not checking the weather?
What is happening with Spotify?
Or Netflix?
Or what do you think will happen as The Crown edges closer to current events?
Where are all the power hires who were to lead or guide them in some of the proposed projects?
What if they left the Montecito house? Where in California be a better or more visible place for their interests? Or would New York beckon? The City is always a flashy albeit expensive draw but many power people live in Westchester, Katonah (HRC), Greenwich, Westport (Martha although is now more in Bedford I think but could be wrong) and commute. Sometimes there is even a pied-a-terre in the City. Old money. Company head movers and shakers. Brokerage money. Serious money.
What about politics? Is that realistic meaning there could be some support for it to start? If politics was in the future, wouldn't that bring additional security risks? Would that be safe for any of them?
Which brings the kids to mind. Will there be any more kid sightings any time soon? Valentine crayon glued on candy heart? Easter looking for hidden eggs?
Or expand the past influencer blogger life? Where might that go now? The field is way more crowded than it used to be five years ago. New people are always flocking in daily. Will there be enough interest to sustain past the initial flurry because it is revived?
It feels like things have been quiet. Is it because energy is running down? Or the money stream? Or is it a conservation of energy because they are about to announce big things - something/bring things on line/meet all their contract obligations?
What are your thoughts?

Thanks for the link! I'm actually learning Russian at the moment, and now that I've seen that video by Conner Clyne, I think I'll be getting a bunch of recommendations with content about Eastern European dating for a while! I mean, why else would anyone want to learn Russian, right? ;-P
This twist in Bey's story is interesting. You'd think that having actually landed a rich and apparently generous husband, she would have been content to rest on her laurels. But she wanted to be an entrepreneur as well, on a very visible platform. And that decision has opened up the can of worms that is her past.
Clyne seems to be implying that this taints everything Bey has to say. While I agree that it's always best to take YouTubers' advice with a grain of salt, I think this raises the general question: Can a former yacht girl ever truly reform?
Even those of us who believe that * was a yacht girl, too, don't really dwell on that much. We judge her by what she is doing now. IF that supposed past has any bearing in the present, it is in the transfer of behaviors. On a yacht party, a woman sees all other women as competition and learns to be cutthroat with them; she constantly shucks and jives for attention; she hides any negative thoughts or feelings for fear of being a buzzkill; she reinvents herself depending on the desires of the highest bidder; she sets herself apart by wearing expensive designer items (or close fakes); she becomes experienced in using her body to get what she wants because sex is the highest form of currency a woman has in that environment. Aren't these behaviors we have seen in *, despite the dramatic change in her circumstances?
I think that Bey is practically a Nobel laureate compared to *. She dresses elegantly and respectfully, shows long-term commitment to her projects, and stays in her lane when it comes to politics or other big issues.

A rare joint engagement today for Prince Charles and Camilla with the Duchess of Cambridge to visit @PrincesFound training site at Trinity Buoy Wharf. Kate was invited by Charles because of their “shared interest and longstanding support of the arts and creative industries.”
wait. i thought it was he and Mrs Dollar who shared the love of art and culture. well at least that is what the PR stories said 😉. someone must be pissed today.
😉
That quote made me raise my eyebrows, too! I wonder if this was deliberate shade or an innocent explanation that just happened to hit a bull's eye . . .
That's a new one for him, lying low. I'm not sure * is completely happy with this decision. He prepares, however, 'to discuss 'personal stories and challenges' in his first appearance of the year at a virtual summit tomorrow'. So is this lying low? I wonder what new revelations we'll hear.

Remorse, possibly, self-reflection, I'm not so sure. It also depends on what his master is whispering in his ear.
Oh! It was mentioned by someone who has a new Youtube channel but I didn't realise that you had to register to listen.
I was kind of hoping that someone would take one for the team! 😉
If this is the case it is certainly remorse that their plans haven't succeeded and that they have burnt their brand as well as whatever influence they might have had.
Any remorse is due to loss of earnings and opportunities -- not due to any real personal empathy for Her Maj.
Spotify - a tech friend pointed out to me that people forget that although Spotify started with offering music, they are not only some source for music. They are technically a tech platform which is now making much more money offering podcasts than people are using it for music.
Didn't know but I think of that now when I read of some musician getting all twisted about how crappy their deal is and yet others are being offered all kinds of big deals.
Not bloody likely.
Given H’s behavior on the 2 prior solo occasions he was included in events, and the couple’s truly putrid display at the Commonwealth service the last time they were there as a couple, I fail to see how the Harkles will be allowed to attend the Jubilee. Or as some hapless souvenir vendors have it, The Platinum Jubbly. I have just hit up on a solution however—The Sussexes can be invited to a special slate of events just for them—The Tinfoil Jubbly. A balcony can be mocked up for them down the Mall from BP and they can stand next to a cardboard cutout of HMTQ and wave all they want to Scoobie Dud and their own photosycophants.

Very articulate, isn't he! And people actually paid to hear this.
He's already studying the clips! 😄
Also, I do not think feeling remorse or making sincere apologies is in the emotional intelligence toolbox of either one.
The word salad-he spouted today is so unrealistic for most working adults so out of touch with the real world!!
Behind the scenes privately with family possibly... but out front with the rest of them??
They've caused far too much damage and the British public would be disgusted if the showed their faces!
Hapless was decent enough as Prince. He should have stuck to it. As all around know it all and advice guru, he sucks.

I don't believe one word he said. If he was really walking his talk, he would not be so utterly and completely abusive to each and everyone in his family. His words do not match his public actions.
Twit has proven over and over again that he's a vile viper, not above abusing his dying grandfather, and grieving grandmother. He is vile, vile, vile.
He suffered from burnout? Burnout from what? A few appearances a week, then back to his castle, ponies, liquors, and party time? That hard life he ran away from? Geezus!
I also don't believe that Serena and Twit talk for hours at a time. It's a PR set up. Lies.
It is also not believable that Better Up is valued at $3 billion. More lies.
As a wise friend of mine used to say, "Don't believe everything you hear, and only half of what you see."
While I agree in principle and have had many reasons over the years to find some employers unreasonable (mine and those of friends and family), Harry's preaching to them has only put me on their side. Barring Amazon-level policies, employers have actual experience with gritty, day-to-day business; they may make mistakes, but they have (even if only indirectly) bear the consequences of those mistakes. They should be held to account by their employees -- NOT someone who has never really worked a day in his life.
Thanks, but no thanks, Harry. I don't need your spoiled, soft self championing me with your wife's word salad.
Spouts nothing but his wife's word salad and is even copying her 'right?' at the end of his sentence.
Like @Mel, I have to ask: Are we even sure it's really Harry at this point?
There is some really good "deep fake" technology out there these days. Look up "deep fake Tom Cruise" for the Tiktok video that went viral. I'm sure * would vastly prefer puppeteering him this way to making him memorize a script that he delivers with worse acting skills than her own.
In all seriousness, I do think that that was Harry. And not just because a voice actor and a visual effects tech doing a deep fake would have made sure their "Harry" had more charisma. The Harry of the video is consistent with the downward-spiraling, wife-controlled sad sack we have been watching for the last few years. I really don't know how he can stand to look at himself in the mirror.
PS -- Thanks for telling us about The Body Language Guy's Twitter! I'm not on that platform any longer, but now I see what I've been missing. His memes and RTs are just as funny as his videos!
I also don't believe that Serena and Twit talk for hours at a time. It's a PR set up. Lies.
Do you think that Serena agreed to back up the lie or that it's all one-sided and Serena is not happy about being used?
Whenever something like this comes out, I look back fondly to when Priyanka Chopra personally debunked the story about her visiting "Archie" after his "birth." I'm not a fan of hers at all, but I appreciate it when someone calls out *'s BS. Priyanka even put the word "source" in quotation marks in her tweet!
Serena may have more to lose than Priyanka, especially if her husband has a project with *, so she herself might not do something like that. But one can dream!

💔 OMG, Jeff, THIS. My heart is beginning to pound. I had an experience of this with someone that I happened to be extremely attracted to. Plans would be made that I looked forward to, then cancelled or forgotten by this person at the last minute, apologies spoken in seeming utmost sincerity, then the breadcrumbs thrown my direction once again for re-connection, which I would always fall for because of my attraction. What complicated my situation, which entangled me further, was the activation of something deeper for me, which I had no understanding of at the time... my abandonment wound. oh boy. I began the most extreme emotional roller coaster ride of my life‼ Abandonment wound in relationship with an extremely attractive narcissist. I'm still in recovery and in constant protective gear regarding this whole dynamic. What I found is that these people need to be revered, and they "collect" people, the more the merrier, to feed their fragile ego. Then the juggling act begins of keeping EVERYbody attracted to them with the breadcrumbing. I sincerely attempted to love this person and offer opportunities of authenticity, as it pained me that their relationships were so disconnected and shallow. Constantly driven by the idea that if I could just do it right...this person would remain and grow with me in my life. I sincerely wanted to offer and receive the real thing. I finally had to end it cold turkey with the realization that, no matter how much I loved this person, I would never be enough.💔 https://youtu.be/Gi8dTDuRCOk

Every employer should pay their staff to take time off for navel gazing and meditation especially before they have a two hour lunch and return for their tea break. Mondays should automatically be duvet days as many employees suffer burnout after burning the candle at both ends during the weekend. Quotas and deadlines should be a thing of the past as its simply not fair to put pressure on people who simply want to turn up and do their job. Friday should definitely be pyjama day because its important to be in the right frame of mind for the weekend activities and a few beers and some tacos in the staff canteen would not go amiss. The boss must make themselves available to listen to every employee even if they themselves are trying to hold down a business while raising a family and taking care of elderly parents, not to mention worrying about productivity and profit so badly needed in order to make sure that their employees never feel any pressure.

He is not in the real world. This from a man who has never held down a proper job and had people to shine his shoes. As for Serena Williams stating the Duke acts as a life coach for her, that gave me such a laugh!

I agree, PDina is an excellent vlogger!
She's also done one or two videos together with Lady C.
In the video by Trevor, Trevor says that Harry is the only man he knows who got out of the military without having made any friends there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR6U7-hwruE&t=137s
Harry is the only man he knows who got out of the military without having made any friends there.
This is really damning. A lot of retired military personnel are still friends for life with the people they served with. Maybe not with everyone in their units, but definitely with at least one or two. My grandfather was a career officer and he had so many long-term friendships. Men he had known in the academy went to his funeral -- or if they had died first, their widows went for them. I know that Harry is only reaping what he himself sowed, but this is still incredibly sad and lonely.
I "watched" the Oprah interview as interpreted by PDina. That is, SHE was watching it, and would let it play a bit, then stop the film and discuss. I couldn't have seen any of it had I had to take it "straight."
At the time, I think River was getting more attention on here (thankfully, died way down) but I know I mentioned her then. She's so calm and sensible!
Highly recommended!
IMO Serena is making as much money as she can, personal integrity be dam*ed. Serena got paid a lot of money to swallow hard, and spew nonsense. Or maybe it's something to do with her husband's business affairs.
I don't know much about Serena Williams. If she has a history of taking money even from people she can't stand, just because it's a good deal, well, that's her call. But this is the kind of thing that bites one in the butt later on.
The only thing that's obvious is that Serena taking coaching from Twit is patently false.
And I see that they gave her the most insane lie to tell, too. Does anyone in the world believe this? I'd wager that even the most dedicated sugars would find it hard to swallow. It may be easy money for her, but she may end up "paying" more for it in the long run.
I don’t know to what degree H is or ever was capable of reforming his character and his knee jerk reactions to things. He seems profoundly psychologically and emotionally damaged, in ways that predate the loss of his mum,if he was already exhibiting deviant behavior and intellectual/emotional delays as a child. It’s impossible now to untangle how his natural personality might have developed with early intervention and accountability rather than the cosseted privileged bubble that has shielded him from both the consequences of his poor behavior and also shielded H from having to learn self-awareness as to the actual limitations facing him in his birth role and his own native abilities. There is a reason such an upbringing as this is referred to as “spoiling a child”. Harry is spoilt indeed, like curdled milk. A now adult man who can no longer milk the cheeky ginger moppet role. 37 years old and literally good for nothing, no useful purpose at all.
He isn’t just an entitled and clueless tool … he is that of course but I think he has got very significant deficits in his intellectual and emotional capacities which were not addressed when he was a child and young teen and have now calcified, immovable. He is not going to change because he can’t. Doesn’t want to, but he doesn’t feel things the way a normal person would. His wife has found her perfect patsy and partner in crime. Haz is a weak mind so I have wondered more than once if one of the tricks in *’s arsenal of mind control is some form of hypnotic suggestion. I’ve never been a proponent of that before but I’m not susceptible. Haz very well might be which would explain the seeming lack of agency he exhibits in many of his wife’s video projects. He agreed to juggling his balls out in the yard and in all other senses being subservient to her at all times. This is not how H ever acted with anyone else in his life, even his Queen. But * has him jumping through all her hoops a treat.
I think H’s family was terrified of what exactly has come to pass—removed from all the protective supports of the Royal machine and completely isolated by his handler, H is imploding and revealing himself to be the village idiot they always knew he was. He is very very damaged, mad as a box of frogs probably. Devoid of any executive functions skills both by nature and nurture. It is a marvel he mastered toilet training, I think. Even pictures of young Harry 3, 6, 11, depict a visibly unhappy and disturbing child, in hindsight. He needed special intervention and likely residential treatment which he never received. Instead the RF resolved to keep H’s condition strictly in house and carry on with the fiction that there were no differences between him and William. He swallowed that legend along with the public. Fact is, H is not the full quid and never has been. Does he even have the full capacity to understand what he is doing? I put his mental age at 12. No court in the land would say a 12 year old with cognitive and emotional deficits can exhibit mens rea…intent. I’m not sure H even now fully comprehends that his actions have permanent consequences. With every zoned out robotic word salad spinning performance he gives, it’s like he is an avatar in a video game, not a fully cognizant presence with awareness.
It is a mess. How will this toxic Shakespearean saga end? Does H after all deserve all the loathing and approbation pouring down or are we and HM’s Army actually piling on a mentally compromised man with a double digit IQ and a mental age of a 12 year old? I have no idea. If this is true, I can at least feel some sympathy for H. He’s making it really hard but it would explain a lot about his otherwise incomprehensible actions in blowing up his life. His family let him go off and pretend to be a big shot in America, when he really needed to be kept at Wood Farm with a full time carer. Were they all just weary of caring for and covering for him? 35, 36 years of that would wear anyone out.
so Mr dollar tell us more about specific instances when you were in the army or when you were “working” to at least get an idea of how you came up with quit your job and meditate.
I am sure Trevor Coult and a lot of other British veterans would absolutely love it if Harry started telling stories about his time in the military. The BRF may be sticking to its unwritten "never complain, never explain" policy, but everyone else who knows the truth about Harry must be champing at the bit for him to slip up in an interview.
Harry always gave me a creepy vibe, even when he was a baby.
He reminds me of Lenny from Mice and Men, but without the good heart.
But I'll pile on: he's unattractive too.The beady eyes, the rough hair . . .well, that's all, really. It's gotten so that I have to scroll away when he pops up on Twitter.

On another topic: how much MORE money could Serena Williams need? There must be some other reason for her to participate in this ridiculous show, being beholden to her publicists or agents. Or something.
Serena is probably trying to get some stock options before the IPO for BetterUp. Usually, the price of the shares jumps and then settles down if the company is not considered viable, but it's really rare for the prices to tank right after an IPO

Had Diana and Charles not been in an adversarial relationship in which Diana was determined to overshadow him, do you think that there may have been a better outcome for Harry?
After William, it must have been a shock to Diana to have such an unattractive baby. At his christening, age 4 months or thereabouts, he resembles a squat orange toad wearing a white christening dress in the arms of his mother. Diana made herself her secondborn’s champion from the moment Charles uttered those disparaging words about H at birth. Maybe Chas wishes he could take back those words—he was never an attractive baby or any age really himself and the red hair aside, He’s most unattractive features are all Mountbatten. For two attractive people, the Queen and Philip had a batch of unattractive children. Youth conferred some attractiveness for a while but the Windsors age badly and are dowdy by the time they round 30.
Harry did improve for a brief while. He was cute from about 12 months to 5 or so. Maybe he’s on the autism spectrum? As a toddler and preschooler I thought he was more appealing than “Basher” had been, but round about 7 or 8 H entered an awkward period from which he wouldn’t really emerge. Around 10 years ago when he was still “on active service” he had a rambunctious appeal. At any rate he seemed healthier than he does now. The decline even since his wedding is precipitous.
His role as Spare was always going to be challenging but the Queen’s father was about H’s age when he suddenly had the crown thrust upon him. Until then, he made a meaningful life as Spare dispute extreme challenges too. Harry has never been able to pull his socks up but such a wastrel existence was not his destiny as Spare save for his dearth of character. The Royals could have gotten him the very best psychiatric care available and maybe channeled him in a useful direction. Was it the shame of a prince being defective that compelled them to pretend that Haz had the stuff to follow William to Eton, military service and a well rounded functional marriage? They were engaging in fantastical thinking and avoidance for 33 years where H was concerned and now we see the results. Is he a colossal ***hat? Sure. But they themselves have created this abs the turned their least functional member loose and cast him out of the fold in the hands of a malignant Narc. They had ample warning that the current situation was coming though it must be even worse than they or anyone dreamt possible. Myself, I thought Madam would stay 3 ~5 years in the RF and then shove off with a hefty divorce settlement.
I think they are resigned to sacrificing H and I can’t say that I blame them. They lost the chance to fix him and set him on a different path when his bio age matched his mental one,
cdan blind about "the ginger one".

I know how things said by spouses can be interpreted in the worst way and never forgotten (esp. right after childbirth!) but that's not THAT terrible is it? Most of Diana's family is ginger or ginger-adjacent after all.
It pains me to read that, as he ages, H looks more like Prince Philip, who I think was among the best looking of that generation. But he might account for the small eyes?
But you are certainly correct about the family's basic attractiveness. Catherine and Diana were beneficial additions in improving the stock lines. (Or is it too soon to tell?)
Yes, this is all superficial and I apologize. But there's plenty of outrage elsewhere today about that ridiculous broadcast, by better writers to boot.
IMO all babies are beautiful; I see them as gifts of God and are certainly made in His image. Meaning Pure Love.
Just saying...
.That was an apt summation of Diana’s and Charles’ relationship— they both needed to be the “star” and were emotional vampires on the other. She needed a constant Doting Daddy and he requires a Doting Mummy from his primary relationships. Camilla understands this abs Diana, being a pit of neediness herself, never did. They were doomed.
Had Chas and Di been more mature and evenly matched and loving to each other I think they would have been able to discuss both their kids more than they did. It’s not clear that Charles ever spent much time at all en famille. We have got family snaps released to the press but when they weren’t on holiday and posing for photos, how much time was Charles actually with his children? Hus busy schedue, his extracurricular interests including his mistresses, his constant traveling and the whole aristocratic mode of palming ones kids off on nannies and packing them off to boarding school as early as 8 ensures that a father wouldn’t spend that much time really knowing his kids that deeply. Carlos would’ve been raised with the maxim that children we’re best neither heard nor seen until they were presented before bedtime. Neither he nor Diana had good parental role models to go on. Further, the sense that one just got on with things and b*ggered on through less tha ideal situations would have been instilled in Charles. Neither parent had the toolkit to cope with a kid not developing or thriving According to the standard blueprint of their social set. Also Diana would have been highly motivated to push Harry to meet all of William’s milestones given Charles’ lack of enthusiasm for his second son. William belonged to the Crown from birth, but a glittering future for Harry could be her revenge. I’m sure they both hoped that H would conform and succeed if he were set on the same path as his brother.
H is really a tragedy, for his family, his country, himself and for us who have to watch him destroy all the efforts on his behalf. He is a completely lost soul.
Charles’ remark about Harry “Oh, it’s a boy…and he’s got ginger hair.” Was the moment, Diana said that something died inside her.
That was a colossally insensitive thing for Charles to have said, particularly right after his wife had just given birth. I won’t excuse him for that callous remark.
But it could be said to have been an expression of shock that slipped out before he had time to compose his words because when he walked into the room he’d been expecting a daughter. Diana had led him to that impression for many months, having lied about the results of the scan which Chas had not been present for. She knew how he had wanted a girl and he was so happy when she was pregnant because he thought he’d get his daughter. Diana future faked a girl so hardcore she was not honest with him until after the fact. If Charles had had tune to get adjusted to the idea of a second son beforehand, I doubt he would have been so cruel. As for the ginger hair crack, It was likely because he knew his new son would be relentlessly teased at boarding school since ginger hair is regarded as a curse on a boy.
Major Hewitt was not in the picture and since Charles had dated Diana’s redheaded sister before I knew that all three of her siblings had red hair, plus it’s existence in his own family tree, I doubt infidelity was at the root of that cr*ppy thing he said. Revisionists happy to attribute that as the reason though.
I'm neutral re Diana, but I never believed it was Hewitt's baby.
Apparently he lobbied for his grandfather’s name as the first name but Diana vetoed Albert as a first name. Good thing or else Harry would have been Bertie. Maybe Haz wishes they had picked Archie? 😂😂😂
Charles’ heir does not have his name at all…weird, considering he’s the firstborn and future King, no?
Charles chose to honor his father and uncle, reserving the second spot for the rather fanciful Arthur. William is William Arthur Philip Louis.
They should have stayed away from “David” when naming Harry. That turned out to be prescient but not in a good way.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve lived and worked in London for years now and have a close knit group of connections. Due to my career and my area of works, I have some interesting information about Meghan that I have heard from aristocratic contacts and famous contacts that I have cultivated through the years.
Meghan is extremely xenophobic and she is homophobic.
She is said to have mocked María, the nanny to the Cambridge children, who is Spanish. My contact on this said that Meghan would use racist accents around María, said that the Cambridge children would end up drug addicts in Mexico, asked María where were her Cubans, when was she going to go marry a billionaire like her Latina sisters do and that being a nanny was the only work María could get, said she would get her deported if she didn’t do what she wanted too, and also would ask her if she was a lesbian and barren to not be married. María de Butch was another nickname.
There was an incident with other foreign staff. There is a staffer of Russian descent that Meghan kept calling the Communist, asking for them to get her vodka and if they’d do a Revolution in England like they did in Russia. Another staffer was of Ghanaian descent and Meghan apparently kept making them repeat everything they said, criticising their English, saying how bad their hair was, that they were nothing compared to her and constantly called them a fat animal, asked if they knew Tarzan.
The homophobic stuff I have heard stunned me. Firstly she would belittle Harry calling him a f*g, fairy, f*ggot, flower, fruity idiot, homo, sissy etc. even in front of friends, and then laughed at him. She was horrible from what I’ve heard, and would even use slurs towards Markus too. She gets worse when drunk. She tried to get some work off of a friend of mine, and literally had a tantrum when my friend refused to gift it and called him every name under the sun.
A aristocratic connection of mine swears that Meghan said repeatedly that George and Louis were nothing but “little fags, dressing like girls, dancing around” and that Charlotte would be “that dyke on horses” when older. She did the same about Louise and James, but Louise more so calling her an ugly looking dumb lesbian.
Some called her out on that and she spun it back at them. The people around her at those times, some a few times after Archie being born, said that when Meghan was asked “what do you think if it was Archie you were being homophobic about” but Meghan just laughed saying that there would be no way her little boy would ever be some little homo, she was raising him right and good.
Jason did not like working with her. He only did it because of his contract to them. Believe me, he knew exactly how traumatised and broken the Sussex staffers were afterwards. It’s another reason why William hates her, he is very pro LGBTQ+.

Unfortunately, it's easy to believe that it's *all* true.
Mm is the Queen of mean girls.
It would certainly explain staffers having PTSD after working for her.
That's the epitome of bullying....any one thing, let alone many of them.
No wonder PW kicked them out of KP.
It would also explain the sudden departure from Tyler Perry's house, which they reportedly wanted to purchase.
Even if a tenth of that is true, she has no business being a royal.

Do we know that he actually said that? Any proof beyond Diana saying that's what he said? Any witnesses? I don't remember the details behind that story.
He was a remarkably homely baby. As a toddler it seemed like his character was starting to show, which didn't help his looks. Unfortunately he wasn't reined in.
I think that he could have had a better outcome if his parents had been more focused on his needs. Seems like he could have tremendously benefitted from some early intervention therapy. Too late now?
As a child, I do believe that the parents could have had him in intensive therapy; maybe they did and we are just unaware. It would be much more difficult getting a dysfunctional adult treated if they do not think that there is anything wrong.
Mr. Hazzmat has window of opportunity to turn himself around, start genuinely reflecting, but it has to be done by about age 46, or his behavior will be calcified for life.
As for the Tumblr dirt, IMO the only thing that would be accurate is Twat calling Twit homophobic slurs, but that wouldn't have happened until after they both had signed on the dotted line of the marriage certificate. Up to that point, Mrs. Hazzmat's behavior towards Mr. Hazzmat was 100% attentive in all ways.
Hazzmat's speech for Batter Up is already being excoriated and mocked on social media. It is just unimaginable how/why Serena Williams stooped to such a low depth of self-degradation in stating Hazzmat talks her through all her problems. Absolutely pathetic. No amount of money, or initial stock purchase is worth that embarrassment. Serena's been had, if she's been told, and believes, that Batter Up is worth $3 billion.
-----
Agree. I'm not blaming the parents, just commenting.
I firmly believe that at some point you own the ball. And H owns the ball 100%.
Just as Mm owns her own ball.
Whatever went wrong with him, it's up to him to fix it now. But I don't think he will.
There's something off with Serena, nevertheless. Mm jinxing Serena's game, and Mn's basic instinct move on Serena's husband for all the world to see, and now Serena supporting Hazzmat. Does not compute. Although, Serena did look rather miserable in that video; there was no joy, or light.
I replied to your post about the various slurs used by * And see That it’s been zapped. There was a certain collection of letters that I used to describe the kind of relationship in the bedroom I think the Harkles practice and I think that’s what triggered censorbot. It doesn’t seem to mind all of the creative ways to refer to a gay person which is interesting.
Madam is notorious for her sailor mouth but some of these slurs sound too quaint to Come from a Hollywood millennial. And growing up in Hollywood, Considering everything she’s done for a buck in her life and with whom, And the crowd she ran with it Soho house, many of whom are of the lavender persuasion including former BFF Markus And his former boyfriend Brit Vogue editor EE…Would Madame really be that down on the gays? How unwoke. I can believe that she would demean darker complexioned staff Considering how much money she’s spent To market herself as Caucasian. Again, what an unwoke hypocrite.
Might she have Tourette’s? Alternatively, such foul and profane language is routinely presented as a feature of demonic possession. She via coarse beyond belief. She attended some of the best schools and knows the language of polite society. She does this for shock value. Well it’s shocking all right… That this marriage was ever permitted to this guttersnipe.
Every time we do a "postmortem" on his childhood and youth (roping in even those of his parents), we imply that there was a point in the past when all of this could have been changed. A fork in the path of time, shall we say. And theoretically, there would have been many forks -- many chances to have averted this. I'm sure his family members were the first to ask these questions . . . and maybe even to blame themselves.
The eventual decision to cut him loose wasn't done out of shame, but out of the realization that the decisions of a 34-year-old man were not their responsibility any longer.
Some of us rolled our eyes when he said of his memoir: "I'm writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become" -- but there was great truth in that statement. Harry had had many advantages of a princely birth and did next to nothing with them. He was the servant who buried his talent and then had even that taken away and given to one who had been more hard-working. (I think of his brother's wife inheriting the first of his lost patronages!) We can't really see him as a prince any longer, but we should see him as a man who has a life of his own making and an appearance after his own character.
While H is to outward appearances an adult, the stories coming out about him since he married the thing point to some really severe dysfunction that seem to go far beyond the usual flaws of laziness and arrogant entitlement. How similar to Uncle Andy—whose “childish obsessions” (teddy bears, eg.) reflect Hazzer’s (video games), along with the winning personality. Both exhibited sociopathic behaviors toward animals and staff. Both have proclivities which have derailed their lives. Andrew does appear to have been capable of holding down a job and even excelling at it, unless his exploits as a pilot in the Falklands have been as greatly exaggerated as Hazza’s soldier-cosplay in the Army. Hazza has been an addict since a young teen, so a substance dependency may have as much to do with retarding his growth into a functional adult as any native learning disabilities he might also possess. How much of his personality disorder was inevitable vs. induced by his addictions it’s impossible to say. His birth into privilege has only enabled him to continue to be a plonker, but placing blame on his parents or the courtiers, etc. is pointless now. The question I was mulling over is to what degree 37 year old Hazzer is ever likely to accept any responsibility for his problems or change how he treats people abs if he’s got the capacity to change, and my conclusion is ‘nil’, sadly.
If I can view his current behavior as being lost to his demons and on some level not having full agency in what he is doing, that allows me to hate him less. I still see the damaged kid with abandonment issues in his current and decidedly repugnant self.

Enjoy!
The question I was mulling over is to what degree 37 year old Hazzer is ever likely to accept any responsibility for his problems or change how he treats people abs if he’s got the capacity to change, and my conclusion is ‘nil’, sadly.
My conclusion is the same. And I wager that that was the BRF's conclusion as well, which is why they cut him loose and went LC (low contact). We can't help those who won't even help themselves.
Do I think he has full agency? I don't know. He strikes me as low in intelligence and high in entitlement -- not a great combination. My sense is that even if he were separated from * and given all the professional help he needs, he would only remain as stable as the next bad influence who managed to get into his life. That is, I think his problem is "nature" rather than "nurture," and I'm not optimistic about what can still be done, even in the most ideal circumstances, to improve that "nature."
Mr. Rosas really let Harry have it. I rarely laugh out loud at even stuff that I find funny, but Mr. Rosas's bleeped out cuss early on pulled a well-earned laugh out of me. And then there was the Paolo Coelho joke!
In all seriousness, this video is a savage takedown of Harry's hypocrisy. So much for his Heads Together cred and any true commitment to mental health. Harry was probably on sale to the highest bidder -- and if he indeed cut a deal for equity, then we'll see more and more of him peddling this BS to anyone who will believe him.
I can also see the higher-ups at BetterUp being very upset by this video. It exposes them as opportunists hoping to make money off of other people's mental sufferings.
Let me hasten to assure y'all that I do not think that psychiatric or psychological counseling is the panacea for all ills. Medication can be helpful but a lot of kids are overmedicated. I hate to think of the effect this use and sometimes overuse of psychoactive drugs has on children's developing brains. I think that putting children into earlier and earlier childhood education and restricting childhood activity and energy is detrimental to their development. I also think that raising children without any boundaries whatsoever on their behavior or consequences for actions results in dysfunctional older children/young adults.
Is ginge responsible for his actions? I *think* he is. If I were to find out that he has the mental age and impulsivity of, say, an 8-year-old child, I would say he needs to be in a protected setting.
(Apparently the idea that being an adult means that you suck it up and deal has not yet permeated his reality.)
I so look forward to the video where the asterisks instruct us how, as employers, they accommodate their employees' need for time to address their self-care issues and we should all do the same.
If they do that, I await the blind items based on leaks by employees officially under NDAs!
But this reminds me that we haven't heard much about the bullying investigation lately. Other Nutties have wondered whether BP itself wants to sweep it under the carpet (while at least making reparations behind the scenes?), so as not to overshadow the Queen's Jubilee year. If so, it's well intentioned, but it gives the Dollars a whole year of getting to portray themselves as people who care about employees.

The Mysterious Case of Hazzer's Hair has come up before in discussions. Prior to about age 13, Harry's hair was, I would say, strawberry blond and while it may have been thick, it was pretty stick straight as to texture. It was probably rigorously combed with water or whatever, but the 'scorched public hair' texture appeared quite literally out of the blue starting at 14 or so. *Completely* different texture, and though it's not unusual for kids' hair to darken as they get older, in Harry's case, it seemed like a year, less, and he had completely different hair on his head than previously.
The shots of him going to Eton for year 1 show it a little darker but not the unruly kinkiness that would come later.
This has given rise to the conspiracy that Harry is actually a replacement for a child who died or disappeared suddenly . . or maybe the cuter younger version of Harry was the replacement. His looks turned that different very suddenly. Adolescent hormones might cause this. Drugs? Extreme mental stress? Anyway, with the appearance of Kinky-Head Hazzer is when he really seemed to go off the rails. Thoughts?
However, the changes in hormones during puberty can have vast effects. Male hormones cause the hair curls to become tighter and the hair texture to become coarser.
And hair naturally darkens as we age.
It's possible that H had a bigger surge than normal of male hormones at puberty, which could cause hair appearance to change more drastically and quickly than normal?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10479891/The-Queen-hosts-special-reception-Sandringham-House-ahead-Platinum-Jubilee.html
Hormones were my guess, too, though the change in Hazzer's case really was extreme.
Given that extreme change, if prompted by a bigger surge than normal of male hormones, one might expect a corresponding bulking up of H's physical frame to go along with that. There isn't. I'm always surprised at how deep Harry's voice is. He's tall, 6'1", but has always had that very lanky physique (from Philip). His hands drive me mad . . so pasty and very thin, almost femme. (check what Jesus has to say about Hazzer's limp wrists in his latest video re. ButterUp. He's not using limp wrist in a pejorative way, but just stating a fact--Hazza has very limp wrists that make his hands flap when he's talking.

True. Didn't really see any natural bulking up. Although he did seem to bulk up some when he was in the military?
He's always had somewhat effeminate looking hands.
It certainly was an extreme change. I guess I can see how it would lend itself to conspiracy theories.
Also interesting is that Mm is fairly masculine looking, especially her hands.
Would explain recent pr about H laying low and not wanting to upset the Queen.
She is clearly rewarding loyalty, service, and hard work.
Someone who ran away and has been nothing but disloyal might have reason to be concerned, eh?
Are any of the UK Nutties worried that this announcement may be due to a health condition that is not public?
Comilla will have the title of Queen Consort, as Princess Diana would have been if she had lived. It’s the proper title. When she married Prince Charles, it was stated she would become Princess Consort, this is why the Queen has redressed this and bestowed/allowed the proper title, especially as Camilla has been exemplary at being a royal. 🤗
Yes, The Queen is old 😁 but I think the clarification of Camilla’s title is just part of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations. At 95 and serving 70 years as our Monarch, she does have to think of the not too distant future and pave the way for Charles when he becomes King. 🙂
Your remark about PP still supporting her brought tears to my eyes! What a tender and loving thought.
---------------
AND not been divorced.
Because she was divorced from PC, she was *never* going to be Queen consort.
------
Aww.
Notice that she didn't seem to rely on it when walking. It seemed that she was using it more to lean on when she stood still, which could indicate a back problem. Hadn't we heard something earlier that she was having back issues?
It did look like she has lost a lot of weight, however. Notice how extremely loose her dress is. It's interesting that they didn't have that taken in for her.
Yes, I believe it was back issues to miss Remembrance Day at the Cenotaph.
I also wondered why she did not have her dress taken in.
God Save the Queen
A life of devotion, constancy
Duty, service to monarchy
All testament to our Queen’s Jubilee
70 happy glorious years
Thank you ma’am for your fidelity
Cheers!
Am very pleased that HM has said Camilla should be Queen Consort, though I think the pro-Diana brigade will have apoplexy at the thought of her being crowned (yes, but it's a smaller crown and a more modest rite.)
I gather that Camilla didn't particularly want to marry Charles but she's stepped up magnificently - I've always had a lot of respect for her, not least because she never said a word about the situation. I mentioned a way back that she once got pelted with bread rolls in the Tetbury branch of Waitrose, thought of as our most upmarket supermarket. Can you imagine how * would react?
Whether the H$Ms would stoop to slinging mud at her, I don't know but it's possible. If they did, I hope it would incur such wrath from Charles as they could never have imagined and he would make them regret it until their dying days.
Back to H's appearance - his face looks strange to me - has he had `procedures' or is he just heavily photoshopped? His neck looks thicker too - anabolic steroids, as has been suggested? Or is it someone else/deep fakery?
God Save the Queen!
Re. Rogue Royal Roach on Roids….
Steroid use shrivels a man’s junk right up. Hazzer’s b*ll*cks might be the size of raisins right now.
That would explain a lot.
My brother had straight blonde hair as a child, but as he got into his teens it became curlier. Buy the time he was 25 or 30, it was beyond curly. It looked like he had plugged himself into an electrical socket.
Harry’s hair may just be a result of getting older.

Like @Raspberry Ruffle, I think the Queen took the Platinum Jubilee as a good opportunity to make the announcement. It's better, in my mind, than just an announcement on its own coming out of nowhere.
I didn't know the Queen's cane was Philip's, thanks for this info. It's touching to think he's still close to her 'physically' as it were.
'''''''
I like Camilla, she has behaved with much dignity and decorum - unlike her step daughter-in-law - although she's been terribly vilified and has been called an adulteress and a concubine. A lot of people seem to forget it takes two to tango but the woman is usually labelled the guilty party. Her husband, APB, was a terrible skirt chaser and had lots of affairs so it's no wonder she gravitated towards Charles.
Finally, what a welcome change of topic after all these discussions about H's hair 🥴.

it more comfortable for her
to wear looser clothes.
She is almost 96.

Let Charles have his Queen
his mainstay
I understand what you're getting at and I think the connection to King Henry VII and Anne Boleyn is inevitable. Prince Charles will be the next head of the Church of England, after all, and he, like his ancestor, treated his first wife, to whom he made vows before God and the world, in a decidedly unchristian way. Also like his ancestor, he married the mistress whom he flaunted (at least in aristo circles) and demanded that his morally scandalized people simply accept it. The only bit where Henry has the moral high ground on Charles is that Anne was at least unattached when he married her. Camilla was another man's wife.
For me, the most shocking part of Charles and Camilla's story is that they stayed together even after Diana's grisly death. (If there was finally a time to break up, that was it.) They didn't seem to have any remorse for their decade-long adultery, which hurt not just a young woman who had no idea she was being used as a pawn, but also all their children. For all of Diana's own bad behavior in the marriage and after the divorce, she had always been "more sinned against than sinning."
And like you, I remember when the Queen allegedly referred to Camilla as "that wicked woman" and refused to hear her name. I think that the only reason she finally agreed to a divorced daughter-in-law was that she realized her own culpability in her son's disastrous "marriage of three." I'm sure all of us know of at least one family in which a domineering parent thought he or she could lay down the law for the next generation, only to give in, decades later, to what his or her child originally wanted anyway. Charles was simply not going to budge on Camilla -- and the Queen may have decided to act as his mother in that instance rather than as the head of his church. Plus, I think Camilla genuinely won her over, after they finally got to know each other as people.
My own highly personal opinion of Charles and Camilla's marriage is that it's a good thing that came out of something very, very bad. The Camilla we've seen since her second marriage seems loyal, devoted, steady, and surprisingly humble. Both Prince William and Catherine seem to like her. Their children seem very comfortable around her, which indicates that she is an accepted member of the family. The past is the past. I'm not sure what the benefits of dredging it up again would be.
Sure, the future head of the Church of England is a blatant hypocrite. But what current religious leader is not? I'm not saying we shouldn't hold them to the standards of their respective faiths. Yet apart from the Archbishop of Canterbury suddenly pulling a Thomas Becket and demanding that the future King Charles do public penance, what resolution is there?
As I understand it, the Catholic Church now favours annulment and is very generous in its attitude.
This varies from diocese to diocese, and even the most morally lax bishops will admit that not all declarations of nullity are valid. One may receive a declaration of nullity from some committee, but because they actually made the wrong judgment, he or she actually is still married to his or her first spouse. Conversely, there may be people in loving, happy unions who have no idea their marriages are invalid according to canon law. (This is not to disparage their love and commitment to each other. But their love has no bearing on the definition of marriage in the law.)
One is either validly married or not. If a widower remarried, with the correct form and intention, but his first wife suddenly turned up alive, his second marriage was always invalid. And if someone actually IS validly married, no piece of paper from a committee is going to undo that sacrament.
In the US, there is a non-profit group called Mary's Advocates which is made of up of lawyers who help abandoned Catholic spouses defend their marriages from the spouse who wants to pretend that the marriage was invalid, in order to remarry again. Of course, they can't stop the latter spouse from forcing his or her partner into a civil divorce; but at least he wouldn't be able to remarry in the Church, because that would be bigamy.
Granted, there is only so much arguing and presentation of evidence that one can do on earth. I like to think that if we were in possession of all the facts in each case, were trained in logic, and could shed all bias, it would soon become clear which marriages actually exist and which do not. But there may be some situations in which we will only really know the truth after death.
I was a bit alarmed by the cane. Then I read that it had been Prince Philip's. I got all misty-eyed thinking about how he was still supporting her.
This is really beautlful!
I appreciate your knowledge and analysis about the Charles and Camilla situation, and you presented it fairly and wonderfully. Same too with your remarks on nullity and the Church. I am proud that the Church still defends the sanctity of marriage.
i think the queen knew what the reaction would initially be with the announcement. she let the heat be put on her with the announcement and let every one get used to the idea so when the time comes the “uproar” will have died down. that’s true leadership on her part. or pragmatism charles is gonna do what charles is gonna due even if it damages his reign from the start. mom bailed him out on that. it’s just sad it’s all winding down
a Saville Row hair shirt hmmmm it could happen
Wouldn't we all like to see something like that?!
mom bailed him out on that.
It does seem to be an integral part of her parenting style. At least Charles can no longer say that Andrew is getting special treatment. She has stuck her neck out for them both, albeit in different ways.
But Andrew is having to stand on his own now -- and soon Charles will, too. I think Andrew's bed has been made for all time, but I wonder if we'll get one last twist in Charles's story.
My sister who is a cradle Catholic and can't get an annulment for her husband's first marriage was furious that I, the renegade, got what she can't get as the "faithful" one. Crazy.
The complexities of religion are maddening. Now, I am neither Catholic nor Protestant and I'm at peace in my elderhood after many decades of bondage and spiritual abuse from both camps.
I am happy that Camilla will have her proper place and title as the wife of a King. She's proved herself to be very loyal, dignified and hard working for HM. She is Charles' great love and all should be forgiven. Once again, HM shows us how she lives her Faith.
@Maneki,
I so feel your pain at all the talk of Hazzard's hair, curtains and carpet!
This is how I feel when the talk is laser focused on feet, toes, nether regions, body odors etc- with the exception of his lack of cajones (which is so blatantly obvious, it screams to be mentioned).
I find it vulgar and nauseating but that's just OCD germ phobe me. Lol.
Thank you. In my sad experience, it is Catholic laypeople rather than the priests and bishops who tend to defend marriage these days. But if we can hold our leaders to account in any way, I hope that we do more of it!
I am sorry for your abuse. I know my beloved Catholic Church has stood up against slavery centuries before it was outlawed in the UK or the United States, as just one example of where the institution directed its members to do the right thing. With respect to marriage, the Church stance is it is a sacrament and should be entered into by the parties with that in mind. But many marry due to lust not love, or money or convenience etc... then wants the Church to undo their professed commitment before God. Many marriages can be saved if people tried.
The Queen as the head of her Church has shown that her personal likes and dislikes controls her religious decisions. It is often said her faith guides her decisions, but I see it as her feelings guides her faith in regard to her own family. But I do respect and admire the Queen for the most part.
House of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Hit by 'Rotten' Smell From Wildlife Refuge, Reports Say
no comment. LOL
@CatEyes,
Thank you.
I married both times so we could have sex. Both husbands were acquired through church activities. One in particular, Calvary Chapel was seeing a resurgence in the abstinence movement back in those days; fueled by the testimonies of Jim and Elizabeth Elliot. Google if you haven't heard of them. The father and mother of that movement. Wanting to be a normal adult and make love to the person you love but having to get married to do so is messed up.
We were young both times and it so happened values, compatibility, maturity etc didn't enter into the decision making. Just we shared the same beliefs...
I am still officially Catholic so I can be buried in the family plot. I don't practice at the church but at home. Due to Covid and to abuse by that church as well. And I would label myself as a cafeteria Catholic. Proudly.

Sorry Nutties. Back to the theme of the blog. And back to read only at this time.
She said she will let us know sooner rather than later what it is. 😋
That the wife has often beenrevealed to use foul language made me think maybe this account has some seeds of truth. This I know, her mind is way more devious than I can speculate and that the marriage is ugly on the inside - hence the tea filed away for future reference.
-----------------------------------------
@Mel
Think the Harkles had a heads up on the Queen Consort Camilla thing?
Would explain recent pr about H laying low and not wanting to upset the Queen.
I think you are right, that was a strange article indeed. Strange because we haven't seen empathy from the Harkles before.
----------------------------------------
I am unable to understand the upset about Camila's title. It feels like an obvious progression. She has weathered it all, shown commitment, loyalty and humility whenever required. In all this time, she's never attempted a 'my side of the truth' tell-all. She's stuck to being who she is, despite being faced with extreme public scrutiny and comparison especially about her looks. I think she's done tremendously
I am certainly missing some nuances here especially in the context of religion and Charles taking on the mantle as a leader and a defender of the faith. But I do feel as if the Queen is simply putting in the finishing touches, probably with the future in mind, one that doesn't stop at Charles and William. There may also be a personal element of forgiveness on part of the Queen. Well, all I know is that her statement felt like part one of a goodbye note. A tinge of it.
My fear is more for decisions about the Harkles, who influences those, who takes those? What does this Camila statement mean for the Harkles? what does it reveal to us about the stance the BRF will take on Harry and the wife in the long term?
That's all right, I don't mind a poem about H's hair (apparent), at least it's brief and funny.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle branded 'grifters' by furious US talk show host
A US talk show panel had some very choice words for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – with the host even branding the pair "grifters".
They have also been slammed as “pathetic” and “irrelevant” over their criticism of Spotify, whom they have a lucrative ongoing content creation deal with.
But the pair did complain about "Covid-19 misinformation" on Joe Rogan's popular podcast, which Spotify streams.
In a scathing attack, Fox News talk show host Tucker Carlson, whose nightly programme boasts the largest cable audience on US TV, said: “That annoying fake duchess from LA and her brain-dead husband threatened to walk unless Spotify muzzled Joe Rogan. But they’re not going anywhere.
“These two grifters have a $25million deal with Spotify for essentially no work.
“So far, we believe they have produced just over 30 minutes of content.
“That means these two have been paid about a million dollars for each minute of talking they’ve done. That’s a good gig. It’s too good to leave.”
On a show called The Five, on the same channel, host Greg Gutfeld said: “They’re a bunch of deadbeats.” One guest, retired New York judge Jeanine Pirro, described them as “pathetic” and “irrelevant”.

It's good to see the duo cut down to size 😁

Fragile Harry’s incontinent woo-woo is sweet revenge on the frigid family he left behind
Camilla Long
Sunday February 06 2022, 12.01am GMT, The Sunday Times
Rishi Sunak and I have one thing in common: we both enjoy a ride on the Peloton. No doubt Sunak likes it because of the slow technical burn of a (quite tedious) power zone ride — possibly to the sounds of Clean Bandit — but I like it because of the extreme tide of hilarious motivational garbage that pours out of the instructors’ mouths.
To say it is hysterical woo-woo is to understate the sheer frothing cataract of feelings-obsessed twottery that fills the audio.
Every time I get on the bike there is someone telling me I need to be strong or live my own life or own my ass or polish my mofo-ing crown ’cos I am a kween. “Or a king,” one of them will correct themselves. “Or non-binary royalty,” they will add. Nothing negative or bad can ever be admitted.
I see from his latest video that Prince Harry, living in California, is now fluent in Peloton, or at least some kind of Yoga-with-Adrienne-style “mental toolbox” iterative blah. Speaking from beneath a sprig of newly farmed carrot hair with a panel of sculpted execs, the prince explained in an interview on Thursday for his wellness app how he dealt with the extreme mental burden of living in a $14 million mansion with 16 loos.
Every day he strives for “mental fitness”. He will try to find a “slate of white space” after the school run. “I now put in half an hour or 45 minutes in the morning when one of the kids has gone to school and the other is taking a nap,” he said.
To which any parent of young children will inevitably shout: 45 whole minutes? Who has more than four? The only “white space” I ever experience is when I lock myself in the bathroom.
How does he think it looks to claim he has suffered from “burnout” when the most stressful thing he now experiences is probably the occasional subpar morning affirmation and not-quite-right American-style grass? Burnout from what, anyway? From taking four private jets a week? From his wife? Everything he says assumes poor mental health is the default, which is, in itself, mad.
I wonder what the Kween herself is thinking as she watches Harry’s latest attempt to dress up navel-gazing as “boldly committing to inner work”. Today is the beginning of her Platinum Jubilee — or, as one run of souvenir crockery hilariously misspelt it, her “Platinum Jubbly”.
As a woman who specialises in sincere, short and savagely to-the-point haikus — “recollections may vary” — she must look at Harry with his sprawling, meaningless bromides and wonder what has gone wrong in the past 70 years.
It is true that in every aristocratic family there is one Harry: a member laughed at as “emotional”. A friend always used to tell me how her father, a distant relative of Winston Churchill, would often weep at the dinner table, sobbing about how much he loved his children, while they rolled their eyes. Churchill famously wept at everything — funerals, processions, songs, films, even comedies.
Is Prince Harry simply what happens after years and years of not letting feelings out and being sent away to school? If you spend your life ignoring your children — the Queen comes from a generation of parents who thought it was perfectly all right simply to shake hands with their offspring — I suppose it should come as no surprise when those children and their children try to attract your attention by telling people they feel they are being “schooled by the universe” and use words like “programme” instead of “routine”.
Harry claims he is now so mentally fragile that he needs to surround himself with “people who I would happily have washing the [mental] windscreen”. Charles, of course, calls such people “valets”. I find it interesting that nearly everything Harry speaks about involves not what he can do for others but what others can do for him.
He cites a constant stream of helpers you can drag in to solve your problems: friends, family, even “complete strangers”, which is weird. It isn’t just employees, he says, who are ultimately responsible for their own mental health, but employers, who should “factor”, say, people’s meditation journeys “into their routine at work”. There speaks a man raised by nannies.
It is easy to criticise the Queen’s stuffy approach and her habit of retreating into formalities and protocol. But if I had to choose, I’d take her reserve and mystery any day over Harry banally telling me: “Every single bad thing — or the things you perceive to be bad — that happens can actually be good.”
Does he believe that? Doesn’t pretending things are fine when they’re not cause poor mental health? Isn’t insisting everyone be intensely positive actually a form of the stiff upper lip?

I now put in half an hour or 45 minutes in the morning when one of the kids has gone to school and the other is taking a nap,” he said. when one is at school and the other is taking a nap”
does this imply that 7month old lilibuck$ is outsmarting her whip smart brother starting preschool when she hasn’t cut her first tooth. weird not to mention them by name or by naming them he’s infringing on their personal space? i am impressed those kids are making it hard on all the other babies and toddlers by excelling way beyond any other in child development waiting for archie’s acceptance at Harvard for fall 2022
It is so odd that HazNoBalls doesn’t utter the little tykes’ names. Most parents love their children, took care when choosing meaningful names for their kids, and use the names which are sweet music to their ears. Most parents want others to know their children, their sweet little personalities, and their given names.
Maybe Mr, Dollar can’t remember the names of his children? I’ll help him out: Archie and Lilibet. There.
Same with the nap thing. He didn't say that *he* put the kid down for nap, just that they were down for a nap.
Sly, crafty verbiage. He's counting on you making assumptions.
He's just putting meditation in between whatever else he's doing, which is *not* childcare.
That leads me to believe he is far removed from cherishing any children who may actually live in the mansion with him and Mrs Dollar.
That makes me suspicious. Maybe even he doesn’t believe the little children we’ve occasionally seen in “artistic” or “papped” photos belong to him, and so uses the distancing language.
Maybe Mr Dollar truly can’t read, which would be a sad state of affairs. Dyslexia, perhaps, or other comprehension problem? I don’t know, but that might partially explain his dreadful marks in schooldays, and perhaps make more understandable his flares of anger.
Perhaps that also would explain the execrable, simplistic book “The Stench” that Mrs Dollar wrote for him. It features only 169 word count. Maybe that’s all he can handle?
PH never said that *he* took the kid to school, just that the kid was *at* school.
Same with the nap thing. He didn't say that *he* put the kid down for nap, just that they were down for a nap.
Sly, crafty verbiage. He's counting on you making assumptions.
He's just putting meditation in between whatever else he's doing, which is *not* childcare.
Well, I would hope that he's not taking care of them since he doesn't know their names (grin). Are they still pretending to be at Montecito?
In fairness to those who are not happy about the news, it is not the decision per se which they dislike, but their impression that we are being jerked around by an entitled royal (namely Prince Charles).
@the-empress-7 is particularly disgusted by the PR blast. As she put it:
Saturday: One announcement from The Queen
Sunday: One self serving follow up message from Charles
Monday: Not one, not two, but three.... PR mouthpieces doing Charles work for him
She includes an image of what I assume is the DM's print edition for Monday, which is indeed all about the Queen Camilla news.

At least one of her commenters is scoffing at Richard Kay's description of Camilla as a "royal favorite." A favorite of whom exactly?
Camilla is fairly popular among the Nutties (with at least one exception respectfully noted!), so it surprises me a bit that the opposite sentiment still dominates other people's view of her. And then I remember that the Dollars still have fans; so why shouldn't Camilla still have detractors? She may have conducted herself admirably since she finally joined the BRF, but I think her critics can be forgiven for finding her (and Charles's) behavior in the 1980s on the same level as the Dollars' shenanigans today.
Speaking of the Dollars, this Queen Consort business has some interesting implications. But first let me backtrack a bit . . .
I can't find the other post in which @the-empress-7 points out a discrepancy in the timeline. We are being told now that plans for Camilla to be styled as Queen Consort were finalized five years ago; but she remembers a press release from two years ago that assured the public that plans for Camilla to be only Princess Consort remained firmly in place. If so, that makes this some pretty blatant gaslighting from the future King Charles.
Charles is going back on a commitment he made many years ago. No, I don't mean his wedding vows (though they begin the public pattern), but the original decision to style Camilla as Princess Consort. Which begs the question of whether he announced it then only because he knew that revealing his actual plans would stir up public outrage. That is, did he knowingly lie so that he could have what he wanted? (He's certainly lying now.) Did he bait and switch his future subjects back then? Will he bait and switch them again? In short: If King Charles wants the Dollars back in the royal fold, his past behavior strongly indicates that he will push through with it no matter what anyone else wants or considers decent.
Here is the March 2020 denial of the Queen Consort rumors: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/royals-deny-camilla-will-be-queen-consort-vbdww7blg
Key quote: “The intention is for the duchess to be known as princess consort when the prince accedes to the throne. This was announced at the time of the marriage and there has been absolutely no change at all.”
So what was that again about "five years ago," Charlie?
(Or should that be Chaz? Chaz and Haz!)
Per your post at 6:58 re Charles and Camilla.
I've just finished watching The Other Boleyn Girl with Natalie Portman and Scarlet Johannson. Oh my word...😱
Just a consolation that the announcement about Camilla is actually mild. That movie put the whole thing in perspective for me.
Yikes!!!
I have read there was some not closeness between TQ and PC the way there is with PA (basically he was more favored in some ways). I always thought that perhaps she kind of viewed PC as more belonging to the country than to her (as the future king) so that she could relax, have more of that mother/kid relationship with PA. And, her mother tended to circle around PC. Lady C talked about the relationship between the two mothers after Elizabeth became Queen. PP was not liked by his MIL among other things.
HM did have a learning curve of married at 21, mother (22), then Queen (steep) without a lot of outside influences from going out to school or maybe seeing other marriages or how to raise kids. One can learn about how to not do something the same way with the next kid. Or with their personality, one responds differently.
And there was more hands off (historically and culturally) that we don't see with, say, PW/K and their kids. They have help but doing the school run and so on is a better indicator of daily involvement you don't see with a photo of a kid sitting on a chair, tea out on a tray and there's a dog around.
