This is a long awaited day - to celebrate the glorious Seventy years reign of Her Majesty.
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.

Many thanks for the heads up on the Blind Gossip piece! This I believe, plus the fact why The Queen decided not to attend The Service of Thanksgiving. I think she’d been magnanimous, but only to a point, perhaps? Hoping no photo ops can be had for Maggot and Mole! 😛
I am amused at the thought that some people who do not have personal knowledge of how things work in other organizations (or families) would think that some sort of religious ceremony would "force" people to show up. (reminded of the Neil Sean comment about you not tell the Queen what she will do).
The Queen did not attend the one Prince Louis (prior commitments). Or Archie. Precedent exists.
This is completely understandable given her remarkable age, but she could use a wheelchair and thus aide her mobility issue and conserve energy. 🥴The fact she won’t is her choice. Either way, we won’t be seeing her in public much, whatever her reasons.

As I understood it, they were invited on the understanding that no filming or recording allowed and they would be closely watched for any indiscretion - It would be surprising if they/ everyone had not been security checked before entering?

Malignant narcissists have a way of taking up one's brain-space. I was recently told I had to let go of the hurt caused by the most recent one over 4 years ago. Easier said than done, like not thinking about white bears.
It's as if she left triggers around our house, especially the kitchen. I pick up the cheese grater and `hear' her telling me I'm using it all wrong. Every time I empty the tea pot I relive the near-row when she defied me and emptied the lot down the plug-hole, despite our plumbing problems. I go to the cupboard where I keep all the odds and ends and hear her snorting `Huh! Plastic straws!!!' (Never mind that they were all I could get and that I dispose of such things responsibly.
And so it goes on - it's a kind of PTSD and I've made an appointment to go over it with a counsellor. All I can think of is imagining putting her in a wooden box (tea chest or coffin?), nailing down the lid, putting it in a hole and heaping earth onto it, one shovelful at a time, as I say `Goodbye, you bitch'.

Thank you.
looking at trotters hair. she’s doing a duchess of cambridge.
When I saw that too-small white dress on *, I immediately remembered Catherine's well-tailored "Beauxbatons" coat dress. * can't even cosplay her greatest rival properly.
it's called Chronic PTSD and there's a youtuber who is very good with those issues. You can find all kinds of books about it as well.
The youtuber goes under the moniker "Crappy Childhood Fairy" but deals with all sorts of CPTSD.
but yeah if she was sitting and had troubles leaving St. paul’s you know harry would have rushed over to “protect her” with trotter body blocking out anyone who would get into her shot pap pic too much to deal with when you aren’t feeling 100%.
I am amused at the thought that some people who do not have personal knowledge of how things work in other organizations (or families) would think that some sort of religious ceremony would "force" people to show up. (reminded of the Neil Sean comment about you not tell the Queen what she will do).
I'm pretty sure that * believes she can "force" anybody to do anything. My own understanding of the word "forced" from the Blind Gossip article is simply that blackmail would be involved. "Show up at the Christening or else we'll tell the world you really are racist!" They still wouldn't be able to force anyone's hand, but there would be some damage, in an area where they already know the BRF to be vulnerable. Circling the wagons by saying that Welby is responsibly self-isolating and that all the suitable venues are fully booked were genius moves.

They entered the St Paul's too late on purpose after the Wessexes, who are senior working royals.
Came out in proper order after the York girls.
It seemed Harry could not believe where they were placed in the second row behind the Wessexes, Gloucesters and the Kents (the duke and his sister).
So it goes.
From CDAN:
Much like the royal pedophile's COVID, there is also another ruse. According to several employees at the streaming service, their well laid plans have been hindered because the woman they wanted to film and scheduled to film by staking out locations, got wind of it which is why she keeps making excuses for not showing up to events honoring her.
I'm not sure why putting Kate next to the queen regnant would send a message that Kate will be queen consort one day. Everybody knows that already & if they don't, a photo won't tell them that.) And that's not what the day was about anyway. It was about 1) the current queen's extraordinary service and to a lesser extent, 2) the continuity of the monarchy. Unless something bad happens, Kate won't be the *next* queen. I also thought Louis was cute but I'm not sure a bored 4-year old should have been on center stage. I found it a little distracting after awhile. But maybe everybody else thought it was great.
I would kind of doubt Sophie thought she'd be next to the queen since C&C and W&K were there. That really wouldn't make sense for a placement. It could be she thought she'd be next to Kate because she thought Will would be next to the queen and Kate would be a little farther down. So there was momentary confusion.
See my post above, same thing being mooted on Quora. Surely they can’t be that stupid? If so the Netflix have clearly got them over a barrel and they should be questioned and then dispatched on the first available flight.
sorry for stealing your thunder. ;-)

I thought Prince Charles looked terrible at the St. Paul’s service—so tired and, frankly, old. The stress of dealing with the traitorous son and the decline in HM’s health has got to be extremely burdensome. And I agree the Cambridges looked tense—it made me sad to witness their discomfort. Will H ever become even remotely aware of, and remorseful for torpedoing the Monarchy?
Thank you for your reply. I've been out all afternoon and only got home at 7 o clock. I've got nearly 100 Nutty E mails to catch up. I've started watching The Crown Jewels on BBC1.

Oh gosh no, I dont think like that! We’re all here for the same reason and I was relieved that your post corroborated what I’d seen on Quora!
i believe, literally, and God is my witness, that my intuition has saved my life at least once. therefore, i believe my intuition is correct sbout the unformed cutie placed directly behind them at the Thanksgiving Service.
* P.S. per Skanky 666's bosom protusion, i have been ultra busy so haven't commented 'til now, but the minute i saw Skanky 666 with the wierd mechanism poking out between her breasts at the Thanksgiving Service, i was certain she was defying the Royal Family's wishes by taping whatever she could trap them into saying. However, no one else seemed to be commenting on the wierd knobby thing so i just thought i was imaging things. but since you and others have now commented, i am becoming more and more outraged at her never-ending defiance. i am spiritual and love religious pomp, circumstance, incense, and believe God is with us in such circumstances. That BIT*H and her performing ballless monkey are managing to ruin a beautiful ceremony. i pray that they rot. From my lips to God's ears.
The Cambs are second only to the queen in the popularity polls, & they got the loudest cheers at the memorial service today (the 6s got widely reported discernible boos). Maybe the RF wants to put the kibosh on the idea that William should be the next king, something that has been whispered about for some time. I doubt William would want that. He seemed to be all smiles for his father & stepmother. He probably knows what a burden it would be, for himself & his young family.
For what it's worth, I think all the body language today & yesterday points to the 6s being 'sent to Coventry,' as the Brits say. It looked like a deep freeze out there. I think Mr. 6 is livid, but Ms. 6 probably doesn't care. Where are the sprogs?
the woman they wanted to film and scheduled to film by staking out locations, got wind of it which is why she keeps making excuses for not showing up to events honoring her.
While I feel the appropriate Schadenfreude for the Dollars, I do wonder at this a little. Thwarting the Dollars in this case would mean disappointing loyal subjects who may have been looking forward to seeing her for months. Knowing the Queen's work ethic, I don't think she'd do the latter just to achieve the former.
I agree with your earlier speculation, @Este, that perhaps she is simply tired and doesn't want her subjects to see her needing more assistance than usual. That it hamstrings the Dollars is just a bonus -- but one that lies under a shadow.
I would kind of doubt Sophie thought she'd be next to the queen since C&C and W&K were there. That really wouldn't make sense for a placement. It could be she thought she'd be next to Kate because she thought Will would be next to the queen and Kate would be a little farther down.
This definitely makes sense. She would have wondered why Catherine wasn't moving and giving way to Prince William!
It's really not like Catherine to snatch at the limelight, and she might have been a bit mortified later on, when she learned that she pushed both her husband and her eldest son out of frame! My guess is that she was sticking as close as possible to her youngest child (an innocent loose cannon!), and when he didn't move to the side, neither did she.
The pictures of the Queen with Prince Louis are classic, though! That part was a nice sprinkling of serendipity on an already joyous occasion. Arguably, it would have been far more meaningful for Prince George to have been by her side. This would have been the perfect time to get an updated and candid "three heirs" photo. As things stand, we have a shared moment between a great-grandmother and one of her youngest great-grandchildren -- and it's moving in a whole other way.
It's such an obvious oddity that it may actually be fake. That is, I think * knew she would never get away with wearing a wire . . . but she could look as if she were wearing a wire (under an ill-fitting dress, to boot!), to make herself the center of attention yet again.
I envision her smirk of triumph at revealing to her unfortunate handlers that the protrusion is nothing but a rubber ball she tucked into her bra -- for luck, or some other BS reason -- and being allowed to wear it.
@OCGal

Oh, my! He is handsome. Thanks for letting us know. ;-)
@TheGrangle, I hear you there but these 2 are snakes and I think Meghan absolutely came wired to a public event you know they weren't going to pick up any dirt. Netflix is one hard task master. They gotta earn their keep and I highly doubt the Deceitful Duchess caught anything on her hot mic they'll be able to use. I sure hope she uses this time to network for Kim K. Maybe those 2 should think about releasing their own sex tape. ;)
very gracious of you.
And if the courtiers win this battle and the Dollars don't get their spectacular, there will definitely be retaliation once they return to the US. There is great interest in the Jubilee celebrations all over the world; I can see American media outlets wanting to interview the Dollars on their "insider" experience of it.
Or has my absence from the blog meant I'm really out of the loop? Do the Dollars still have Gayle King in their corner?
If only * cared enough about her podcast to do actual work on it! An episode on this very topic would get her the streams and attention she feels so entitled to. Heck, even we would listen to it -- after creating bingo cards in anticipation of her whoppers, of course!
One up high on her chest, the other just below the belt.
Where I *do* think there's a mic is under her left collar.
Notice H when they first exit the car. He motions to her collar, which she immediately adjusts in a tense way. She then fiddles underneath that collar 4-5 more times as they enter. She also fiddles with it in the church. Highly suspect.
With a look on her face that says, no one notice me whilst I adjust the mic/check the mic to be sure it's still there correctly.
There's something wrong with that left coat flap. It blouses open because it's too long for her torso. Why wouldn't a tailor adjust that? It's an easy adjustment.
So Maggot and Mole were given their own procession, their own league amongst the other royals. A league of their own….the losers league, the outsiders league….. most fitting! 😂😂
Just buy a new cheese grater and chuck the old one in the bin. I had to get rid of a 4 handset Panasonic telephone set because every time I used it I was reminded of an awful message that had been left on it. I'm happier without it and it helped me move on.
Watching Farrage on GB News yesterday he said he had heard that HMQ had slipped out of a stirrup and hurt her hip. I wondered how someone who rode every day had so quickly lost mobility. I hope she makes a full recovery.
I guess they may as well go for broke, but I doubt many would have the stomach for it! Wasn’t it rumored that it was something along those lines that led to their marriage?
Thank you for the link to Crappy Childhood Fairy - it looks really useful.

Other things I noticed is that TBW did not barge ahead but followed protocol and let him greet and shake hands first. He was friendly and engaged when greeting people; she was perfunctory with that fixed polite smile, but she was trying to behave. When they arrived at the pew, the Yorks and their spouses had to stand up and shuffle into the aisle to let them through. It was a strange awkwardness that does not usually happen with seating if everything goes according to plan. When they exited, unlike their behaviour at the Commonwealth service, they did not barge through chairs for a prime spot in the procession but were way at the back.
From a family point of view, it would be bizarre if they did not have a private visit with his father, Camilla, brother and his family, and introduce them all to his children. But I think he shot himself in the foot with the bizarre statements he made about the Queen after that visit before the IG. It just seems so odd to travel all that way and not arrange a full schedule of visits with family. Even the Duke of Windsor would visit with family when he visited the UK!
I mean, which is it: is--gasp!!--strict protocol being breached because someone isn't standing in quite the right pre-arranged place or is it just another family get-together where Junior's antics are the main entertainment?
I'm sure it was a no-brainer for the photographers, though! I mean, I do get the newsworthiness.

MEGHAN MARKLE’S HAIRSTYLIST REVEALS SWEET UPDATE ABOUT ARCHIE AND LILIBET
https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/royal-family/meghan-markle-hairstylist-archie-lilibet-b2093691.html
@OCGal, 😂I’m absolutely sure there were certain people seated around them for a reason! They were seated with either minor royals and or non working royals. Very very few people smiled or acknowledged them as they walked down the aisle, if they don’t know by now their place within the royal family or what most think of them in this country, they never will.
@OKay, The collar fiddling by Maggot, can be a sign of anxiety and nervousness, but Mole indicated something was up with it and she touched it, she touched it again and the same side. There’s is indeed something under her front, and it’s not a third nipple! If it’s a recording device what would it be recording exactly? I doubt she could use the recording for Netflix? It’s not legal in the UK to record someone without their explicit permission, as far as I’m aware. 🥴
If The Queen has been forced to miss out on historic and important events to honour her platinum jubilee because of their greed and contractual obligations to Netflix, that is simply unforgivable.
-----
Absolutely, and if the Queen's hand was forced, she must have been desperate to avoid to avoid them. Maybe that was a foolproof way of avoiding meeting the duo that would not lead to accusations of racism/discrimination etc. At the same time, it was her jubilee and the gruesome twosome should have been read the riot act on arrival. If those two have marred the Queen's jubilee then I hope they're sent packing post haste.
i agree with others. there will be revenge for being treated like second class citizens. prob racism against orange skinned people 😉
If the 6s are interviewed in the USA on their Jubilee experience, & are gracious & don't make it all about their own grievances, they might begin redeeming themselves. I saw a recent interview of lovely Zanouska Mowatt, one of the Queen's cousins, who is employed by Halcyon Days, the makers of those adorable little enameled boxes & other items. The smarmy ITV presenter tried to get her to dish on the royal family, but she very adroitly kept the focus on her company & its employees, and she did it while remaining gracious. We haven't seen Mr. & Ms. 6 manage to do this.
@Sandie, I'm sure Archie & Lili might be adorable. When will we ever see them? I don't think the crying make-up artist is a reliable source. I'm beginning to think the 6's feel if their amanuensis, Scabies, keeps saying that Lili has met the Queen, & reporters keep repeating it, people will accept it as fact, without ever seeing visual confirmation. The RF has always been very tight lipped about the kids. The photo of the Queen & the Duke of Edinburgh with their other great grandchildren in the year before the Duke's death spoke volumes, though. Why no Archie? Surely it could have been managed.
That sounds like a truly horrendous experience. 😟I’ve had experiences with narcissists, 2 particularly were around too long. I only managed to remove them from my life by first ghosting them and then becoming untraceable. A mere mention of their names takes me back to the time I knew them. Fortunately I’ve managed to eradicate most of the triggers. When it comes to family members etc, the latter and the above is easier said than done, they are another problem entirely. 🥺
I wish the despicable pair could’ve pulled the ole we’ve got COVID trick and not come over…alas they needed content😵💫😳
Prince Charles looks like he has the world on his shoulders and has turned into a grey looking man. 😳🥴
someone noted that harry pointed to trotters collar when they exited the vehicle and she kept adjusting her big fat collar. probably miked up. i think the courtiers knew they would be late to st. paul’s and let them have their moment down the aisle. kinda a walk of shame and made them look like they wanted to stand out. it sure backfired against the harkles. the other rumor is that they were leaving clarence house. if true did they try to meet with charles? either way they were bone to happy at st. paul’s so whatever is happening is not a happy one. if he’s lucky she will give him the silent treatment. guess it’s better than screeching at him for the failed tour. hope she has time to finish photoshopping. perhaps she can have a few cocktails to loosen up and get the job done.

I don't believe a word of this. The only thing it tells me is that Entry doesn't have any sources in the BRF now that Liar is no longer in it.
Per the DM, Netflix can't film anywhere because their press credentials were not approved for the Jubilee. I believe the DM over CDAN.
And yes, of course BP had something to do with Netflix's credentials being rejected.
Louis ended up stealing the whole show, LOL.
Thanks. That does make me feel better. I was feeling like I must be the biggest grouch on earth. Yes, Louis was/is very cute. And yes that was natural behavior for a bored 4-year old. And the Queen interacting with him was sweet. But the broadcast I was watching kept zeroing in on him (and almost incidentally the Queen.) Hands over ears, hands in mouth, hands flapping, hands over eyes, it got distracting for me. Also when he tried to run over to the side where Charles and Camilla were, I was afraid he might knock the Queen down. (But there was probably more space on the balcony than it looked like.)
While people talk about the RF choreographing everything, I'm not sure the balcony set up always involves set places. One year Kate was sort of pushed to the back. (The year she wore a kind of weird white hat and a blue and white print dress.) Another year Charles was mostly on the second row. (Both years were pre-Meghan so she didn't cause the odd placement.) So I am far from convinced the recent set up was intentional much less to send any message (other than only working royals & their kids included.)

`...their well laid plans have been hindered because the woman they wanted to film... got wind of it...'
I took it that `their' referred to the Harkles and their attempting to meet Netflix's demands, ie Harkles acting as agents of Netflix. As for `getting wind of it' I daresay there are many in the Royal Household who can predict the Harkle's actions, just as we can.

Prince Harry and Meghan navigate a tricky return to duty
By Daniela Relph
Royal correspondent at St Paul's Cathedral
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61685845
So well planned to put them on the other side with the plebs. They didn't expect that but got their separate walk in. The look on the congregation faces tells it all. The crowning glory was the placement of Major Johnny Thompson of the Scots Guards right behind the gruesome twosome. Keeping any eye on them. Easy on the eye and lamping him one if H out if control with angry faces. Shame all not in balcony because if these two.

The microphone was clipped to her bra and the camera was at the centre of the collar. Look closely at her photo above and you can see the shine from the light.
It’s makes sense to me! 😃

All the royal ladies looked gorgeous & appropriately dressed. Princess Beatrice in particular seems to have blossomed with marriage & motherhood. She's looked lovely in her recent photos. Even Ms.6 looked unusually clean & proper for once, aside from her third nipple in her bodice. I did also think that a dress that costly should have been tailored so it didn't ripple under the armholes. I was flabbergasted, however, when some video showed Ms.6 ascending the stairs of St. Paul's with her Poontang Princess walk, which seems to need to be accompanied by the tune of The Stripper. WTF?

None of those accounts post birthday greetings to other great-grandchildren, other than the Cambridges, or even grandchildren, even if their parents are full-time senior working royals.
What do you make of it?
Meanwhile, George and Charlotte are doing public engagements with their parents in Wales.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10884367/William-Kate-bring-children-George-Charlotte-Wales.html
Lack of interest or respecting their faux pleas for privacy?
Doing such monitoring would allow the BRF the evidence to use in case they claim anybody said anything "racist" or "hurtful" to them. Also such electroinic monitoring could alert them to anything strange that the duo might say and they could take appropriate action such as interrupting the conversation and taking them out of the service.
Now that is an interesting thought. Huh. Remote controlled access.
Keeping up has been like running a sprint continually during a marathon. Thanks everyone. You have some interesting thoughts and observations.
Messages:
I'm not worried about that mention they were doing that. It is vaguely related (in a historical sense) and has been mentioned before on the blog. It is a way to celebrate this occasion.
Thank you, got it and not a problem. You may want to get that profile on that devise if you have not already. It is difficult when there are good comments but the profile is not completed and the rules are to not have anonymous or unknowns.
"The Queen, Clarence House, and Kensington Palace all posted birthday greetings to Lili, but calling her Lilibet.... None of those accounts post birthday greetings to other great-grandchildren, other than the Cambridges, or even grandchildren, even if their parents are full-time senior working royals."
"What do you make of it?"
I think 2 things
1. A first birthday is different from subsequent childhood birthdays. So this doesn't have to set a precedent.
2.The only account listed that's weird for posting IMO is the Queen's. There is no reason Charles should wish his siblings' children and grandchildren happy birthday any more than, say, Anne should wish Charles' grandchildren happy birthday publicly. But Lili is his grandchild. There's no reason Will should send public birthday wishes to his cousins' children. But Lili is his niece. But I don't know why the Queen posted when she doesn't for other great-grandchildren. Well, I do know. She's trying to appease Harry to keep the peace this week and that was a pretty low-cost way to do it. I don't know if I'd be offended if I was the parent of a royal child who doesn't get queenly public wishes. Probably not because I'm pretty sure she sends personal wishes to other relatives. And I'd grasp the Harry problem.

@CatEyes suggested the RF might have required MM to wear a mic to avoid claims of racist conversations later on.
Interesting idea but I doubt it. How unseemly if that ever came out. I just can't imagine TQ ever doing something like that to a family member.
Anna, Maldon UK, United Kingdom, 13 minutes ago
The Palace has played it so well. H&M didn't get to bring their Netflix crew, they didn't get the Windsor Christening that they wanted and the senior royals have not been within 10 feet of them. Netflix and Meghan must be fuming. The Queen cleverly invites them for private meetings only, no cameras. No official pics with Her Maj, but it still looks to the rest of the world that they were welcomed with open arms so they can't complain to an interviewer afterwards as it will make them seem churlish. Yes, the Palace has played a blinder.
Thank you for the link to the NY Post article. I did enjoy it very much! It's good to know that not all Americans have been taken in by the 6s.
-----------------
That was a very diplomatic visit to Wales today by Kate and William and two of their children 😉. What a pity they missed the other two at Windsor! Talking of which, do we know when they're flying back?

My Reply: I agree it would not be very plausible but then if * did have recording devices by her own intentions it is more unseemly and believable! If so, then I think it was a failure of the BRF to allow such devices from the dastardly duo in light of how they use vocal material to the detriment of the others and useful to Netflix. Why shouldn't the BRF expect the duo might pull a stunt like that and guard against it? Surely, they could have spotted it, and asked the Duchess to remove it? Why does the BRF allow themselves to be recorded by these miscreants?
Ignoring and/or abandoning a narcissist is the only way to "win". You recover your self ( once you work thru the ptsd).
Your explanation as to why they all posted birthday greetings for Lili makes sense. As you say, it is odd that the Queen would go out of her way to placate them. Perhaps HMTQ planned to fit in a private visit with them and the children but the engagements she has done turned out to be so exhausting that she had to cancel and this is her way of making up for that. Perhaps I am wrong, but the IG account from the Queen (which covers all working royals other than Charles, Camilla, William and Catherine) is a signal that none of them have actually seen the children and there are no plans to. Perhaps I am odd, but if I see someone on their birthday, I give a gift and not a card (maybe a gift tag with the gift bag), but if I am not seeing the person, I would send a card (virtual cards nowadays).
Making a photo available of Lili, especially one with her brother Archie, would have been such good PR for them and really given them a presence in the family.
None of those accounts post birthday greetings to other great-grandchildren, other than the Cambridges, or even grandchildren, even if their parents are full-time senior working royals.
Well spotted! I wonder what's up. Is this a pacifying gesture or a taunt? Either way, it's coordinated.
I wonder if the difference between Bea and Eugenie's dress is that Princess Beatrice married royalty (with a high income from his own successful business) and Eugenie married a commoner who is an employee of others. I would expect that Princess Beatrice would be expected to dress to fit her station, as would Princess Eugenie. The people that Princess Beatrice associates with would expect her to be well turned out. The people that Princess Eugenie associates with, she may dress down to make them more comfortable.
Or did I miss the boat (or the yacht) completely here?
Some thoughts I had:
1. When Sophie Wessex came onto the balcony after TTC, it appeared to me that she was deliberately hiding behind Kate to avoid the lip readers. I think she was talking to HM and Kate, before she moved to her designated position on the balcony.
2. James, Viscount Severn, seems to be outgrowing his awkward stage and was caught smiling on camera several times. He is also beginning to show promise of being a handsome young man. I love the Wessexes.
3. The seating chart for the Thanksgiving service was sheer brilliance. Placing the traitors in the middle of the row boxed them in nicely and resulted in that awkward entrance, when everyone knew they would be deliberately late.
4. Harry should have no lingering thoughts of using his power to demand anything. He is loathed as much as his “Poontang Princess!” Shout out to Neutral Observer for the sheer genius of that delightful and alliterative label! I will call her PP, now.
5. The Windsors must be very grateful to the Middletons for their daughter. Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge has been the glue that held this family together this weekend. While others were helpful and did a great job, Kate presented a calm, friendly and beautiful visage - enough for the entire family. It seemed that Charles and William were pensive, sad or angry at times, but Kate provided them both with some sweet smiles and lifted spirits.
6. HMTQ enjoyed Thursday’s events very much. She seems to be disengaging from her role, in an almost deliberate fashion. I think it’s a reasonable and natural reaction, brought on by reaching her 70th year of reign, her hip injury and the loss of the Duke of Edinburgh.
7. Peter Philips did a masterful job at ignoring PP and Harry. His facial expression conveyed “you are dead to me.” Much respect to him for that very public and unmistakable message.
Thanks so much for the full text version of the New York Post article! 😃One of the best pieces I’ve read in a while, particularly as it’s from across the pond!
Thank you too, to abbyh for your work done here! 😃
I’ve just popped in from our roads Jubilee party! 😜
Good pts. I'm not convinced there was a recording device hidden on MM. But if there was, I could imagine MM choosing to do that. To heck with being unseemly. She's already proved that she is that. After all, I can't imagine anyone else in the RF inviting no one in her family but her mother to a 600-guest wedding, drinking from a baby bottle on TV and squatting on command, passing along info to Scooby-Do for FF that discussed her urination during her 3rd date trip to Botswana with Harry, claiming her wedding--- a ceremony in one of the Queen's favorite churches with the Queen present--- wasn't her real wedding, doing Sharon Stone imitations in a short skirt when pregnant, claiming God Save the Queen is a hard song to learn, getting caught plagiarizing multiple times, constantly thrusting garments back so she could be seen bump cupping all over the world, having a public feud with her father, clearing a section at Wimbledon of legitimate ticket holders, creating and distributing a video of her reading to her child on his first birthday with said child dressed in a onesie and a loaded diaper, etc. (Plus all the things she might have done like demanding a different wedding tiara, making Kate cry, taking pictures of private areas of homes, lying about racist comments, ...)
I don't know that there was a way to ask MM to take off a suspected recording device. To do anything would have taken the focus away from it being a Service of Thanksgiving. I'm not sure anyway how useful footage would even be. (Plus I don't know there was a device.)
Yes it was a very subtle and diplomatic strategy. The Queen played the long game. Do the Harkles realise that the humiliation - for they have been humiliated - was played in front of a worldwide audience?
Not only did they have an awkward entrance, remembering the church service where * wore the preying mantis outfit and how she moved chairs aside to get away from Sophie and line up behind Will and Kate, being hemmed in the middle of a row made them to wait their turn for their exit and not ‘jump the line’.
She realised there was no way she could be patted down/wanded/strip-searched/arrested outside St Pauls, in full view of the world.
Had there been no birthday greetings for an invisible child, it would more ammunition for her.
Harry looks absolutely livid in many of the photos published of him. What is sad is that he most likely doesn't recognize that he & his wife are the ones who instigated the boos directed at them with their own behavior. My guess is that he blames his 'trapped'(& in his mind, toxic)family & the evil tabloids for turning the public against him. I'm not sure there have been any lessons learned, or individual growth in these two.
Also a nice way to start acclimating their children to Royal events.
Although probably the other way around as there is a rumor that the head of M15 was seated directly behind MM at the Thanksgiving Service.
@Henrietta quoted:
`...their well laid plans have been hindered because the woman they wanted to film... got wind of it...'
I took it that `their' referred to the Harkles and their attempting to meet Netflix's demands, ie Harkles acting as agents of Netflix. As for `getting wind of it' I daresay there are many in the Royal Household who can predict the Harkle's actions, just as we can.
So HM didn't show up for the Jubilee Mass or the Epsom Derby because Liar and Friar were going to film her? Am I understanding your interpretation of the blind correctly?
And I have forgotten my manners completely and did not thank Abby which she so richly deserves. Thank you, Abby, for keeping the crazy world outside of our peaceful little bubble.
One of the photos of her at the window with Anne's grandchildren has been used for marketing/advertising by the jewellers who made her pinky ring. No acknowledgement of photographer, copyright owner, nor permission from parents to use a photograph of their children.
This is why that woman must not be allowed anywhere near any royal children.
The jewellery brand (British, based in London) is still using the photograph but has switched off comments because so many outraged Brits were lambasting them.
I thought the exact same thing, it all seems far too convenient for a random photographer just to be around. 😕
That’s already been squashed. 😕The officer in uniform has already been named and the current head of MI5 isn’t a female. 🥴
WBBM & Maneki, you're welcome about the Post article. That publication seems to feel the same way about the 6s that we do.
Great list of the sins * has done although we know there are many more. Unfortunately I read the list after eating luch and felt sick of what TBW did to the BRF. But thankefully the Queen and the Royal family paid her back some by their ingenious handling of events.
I can only hope the dastardly duo slink back to Cali soon, with their skunk tails between their legs.
Whose guesses what holes in the walls were punched at Frog Cott when they got home from the Service yesterday. Some jubillee memrabilia crockery went flying at the very least. Will be hard to explain to their children one day, why the poor tykes did not have any photos of them on the balconey with their first cousins or why their parents were frozen out of the wonderful events. Too bad, so sad!
Prince Louis gave the press something to print instead of musings on the couple we love to distain.
Another impish spare. Hope history isn't repeating itself. Louis has more engaged parents. Hope he fares better than Andrew and Harry.
OK cuz it was in a public setting?
Don’t worry about me using that word and embarrassing myself. I will only use it here, among likeminded friends. I am a 67 year old American, who first heard the word at a rock concert in the early 70’s. In my mind, the nasty implication fits her. Adding Princess to it is just the icing on the cake. The alliteration of the phrase mimics the alliteration of her name. I will keep it abbreviated to PP.
The Cambridges are doing great in Wales! Charlotte giggled delightedly when conducting an orchestra to the Lin Manuel Miranda penned Disney song “We don’t talk about Bruno!” This family is having a great weekend. Again, Kate and her brood are wonderful. If there are any more honors the Monarch can bestow upon her, it should be done posthaste!
and now the queen with paddington the bear. she’s has more acting jobs this year than trotter. sweet!!!
I'm sure Archie & Lili might be adorable. When will we ever see them
There's always a chance that theoretical children are adorable. As to when we will see them next, I look for a art project emanating from Montecito in the next week. Trotter Mommy has to arrange a belated party for all of her kids' friends from the neighborhood. The Kardashians will import all their various spawn, 'cause hey, all those kids are biracial too! There's going to be a bouncy house, pony rides and a giant cake shaped like Windsor Castle.
But we've not seen any single hair of those kids on this trip, which is plenty indicative to me of the actual state of their existence. They don't. If I am ever proven absolutely wrong, I will be happy to acknowledge it. The children were the balm that could go some way toward healing family rifts. If they existed. They are the Hail Mary pass for any salvageable footage for Netflix. We won't see them because this ridiculous couple are not parents and never have been, in my opinion.
I don't think the crying make-up artist is a reliable source.
He's not even reliable at doing makeup so I concur. DM is a paid patsy who's being compensated to blubber on camera and say how wonderful everyone in the Sussex family is. But I wouldn't trust him to do my face for a photo shoot at Walmart so his *real* function is to pose as a confidante of Smegs's and an unimpeachable source on the family.
I'm beginning to think the 6's feel if their amanuensis, Scabies, keeps saying that Lili has met the Queen, & reporters keep repeating it, people will accept it as fact, without ever seeing visual confirmation.
I commend you on your excellent word usage. Omid Scobie is a disgrace to the profession to which he claims to belong. Journalist my eye. He is more of a fantasist than Dr. John Watson, to whom the moniker amanuensis, is often applied. Dr. Watson was fictional as was the person he chronicled . . but both Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are more trustworthy and authentic (and far better writers) than the ostensibly real Scabies and the awful couple he works for. He's bought by the Sussexes and I guess his employer of record doesn't have a problem with their staff writer being such an ostentatious rent boy. Pathetic.
The RF has always been very tight lipped about the kids. The photo of the Queen & the Duke of Edinburgh with their other great grandchildren in the year before the Duke's death spoke volumes, though. Why no Archie? Surely it could have been managed.
A photo op with Archie and his cousins and great grandparents could only be managed if he were actually real and not an invisible boy. I posit that whatever toddler models she has been able to obtain to play her son this far are not permitted to be transported across international borders, being minors with no passports of whom she is not the custodial parent. Notice that the little tyke who played Archie for photo ops while Trotters were still in the UK has not been seen again since.
In this vein, the birthday wishes emanating from the Queen (Great Gan-Gan) to Archie's equally invisible sister represent a message, all right. And the message is "We know this child doesn't exist, and you know we know. And we know you know we know. We are a knowledgeable family. Why does the Queen play along and pretend that Harry's got two heirs in the line of succession and say nothing to contradict the Sussex PR that says that she's busy meeting her grand-grands and secretly baking cakes and attending birthday parties for phantom children? I think it has to do with both Harry and Meghan being clinically insane, perhaps . . not poking the beehive with a stick any more than necessary. I do not know. But surely the Queen, who says, "I need to be seen to be believed" would say that goes 100-fold for the alleged children of two demonstrated chronic liars.
That’s already been squashed. 😕The officer in uniform has already been named...
Who was the officer in uniform? Was it Sam Chatto?
The pinky ring merching is foul.
And really unusual. Women in the United States don't really wear pinky rings.
No Sam Chatto was sitting with his parents in the same row as Mole (Sarah, his Mother was sitting next to Mole). According to a DM commentor, the man in uniform was Major Johnny Thompson of the Scots Guards. 🤗
"The photo of the Queen & the Duke of Edinburgh with their other great grandchildren in the year before the Duke's death spoke volumes, though. Why no Archie? Surely it could have been managed."
I'm not sure which photo you mean. When I Google "Queen and Philip with great-grandchildren" pretty much the only relatively recent one I can find is this one taken at Balmoral.
https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/uk-news/unseen-prince-philip-family-picture-20388631
While the photo was released after Philip died, it was taken a few years before in 2018. In it Louis is a baby. Archie wasn't yet born. Maybe a picture could have been snapped the following summer in 2019 with all the kids (we've not seen one though) but supposedly H&M thought Scotland was too far to travel for Archie. So they went to Nice instead to see Elton John. (I'm an American but even I know Nice is farther from London than Balmoral.) And with COVID there were no more large family gatherings for awhile.
Agree though H&M could have managed more than that phony looking photo with the Queen, Philip, and Doria if they had wanted to. Clearly they didn't want photos with royalty back then, only now.
The current MI5 Director General has been in his post since 2000. 🤗 Security Services are ultra discreet (the clue is in the Depts. title) on who they watch, they wouldn’t need the chief.🤗
I'm beginning to think the 6's feel if their amanuensis, Scabies, keeps saying that Lili has met the Queen, & reporters keep repeating it, people will accept it as fact, without ever seeing visual confirmation.
---------
Quite, and they know full well that the Queen or anyone else will not issue a denial. They could always blame Scobie or the press for making up stories/getting the wrong end of the stick etc., it's never their fault.
Personally, I don't think * had a pregnancy with Archie (maybe just a surrogacy). I have no idea about Lilli. But why would the esteemed honorable Royal family perpetuate a huge falsehood if there were no children?
Wouldn't they be complicit in defrauding the good public too? Are they setting the Harkles up for a big fall...but then again people would think the BRF should have uncovered the fruad by now? I'm not trying to pester anyone because I do indeed respect everyone's viewpoint here, but it just boggles my mind about this issue. So many questions come to mind. I thought the BRF was going to correct mistruths that the 6's put out in the press (well there have been plenty of placed articles by * about her children). And in california the BRF could have put in an annoymous call to Family Protective Service to investigate about the wackos and the 'alleged kids'. Certainly that would settle things.
There are some new members here who might benefit from hearing the reasons. My aged mind has forgotten what has been written in the past to support why the BRF would go along with this. Thanks!
We also take a very dim view of children being photographed without permission from their parent. I daresay the street between St J's Park & the parade ground will be declared private Crown Property/Royal Parks and Gardens.
Kelvin Bruce and Shiffonco should get Markled big time.
So even if Scobie did take it back, nobody noticed.
I guess that's how news works. I don't think those kids exist either.
As someone said if another public figure who's been in the news lately, `You can never trust a liar.'

The Sussexes. Harry and Meghan desperately need that one photo of Queen Elizabeth II with baby Lilibet, aka “Invisibet”.
Invisibet!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Watched a bit of the Jubilee Concert on YouTube. It was joyful & fun. The crowd & the performers seemed to be having a great time. So glad the 2 Debbie Downers were persuaded not to go.
Haha! The two of them couldn't push past chairs to get a better position.
@Henrietta
No, most women in the States do not wear pinky rings. I hope PP gets in trouble for merching and using the children's image without permission.
Just have to sayI loved the pics of the Cambridges in Wales. What a beautiful, happy, healthy family they are! Those children appear to. be thriving!
And on the other side of the pond we have the invisible children.
I think the BRF probably found out about their existence/non existence too late. How do you backtrack and say no, they don't exist?
Someone upthread said that any communication about them is always carefully worded. I agree.
Another thought. Could the faux children be one of the reasons for the brother's rift?
And there were suggestions of presents that might be unwrapped, including a motorized car.
Now what I ind amusing about this is the Tindall parents (and grandmother Anne) were photographed attending at Epsom Derby......
And the world turns.......

i can’t wait to watch the big party from saturday night. looked like fun and prob the last time the whole family will be together like this so full of joy and carefree ( well happy not to deal with those two) i think someone noted that the queen is definitely moving to a quasi regency. she hosts paddington for tea but skips parliament doing only what she really wants. i get it i would at that age.
as for the troublesome two. why no pap pics why no lilibuck$. either we see a dumpster load after they return or they will be silent. she will either seek revenge again and that could seep into Harry’s book or she will high tail it out of the marriage and to further put on the screws and leave the “kids” to Harry because they should be with a big extended family leaving him to explain where they are. and she will try to extract $ out of charles. hopefully she has number 4 lined up 😉

So glad you enjoyed it! I especially loved all the cables sticking out, too. Whoever created that photo is clever.
Perhaps they know that we know that they know what the situation is and give us credit for being savvy. In public life, there's often a discrepancy between what is known officially and the unofficial story; was `Yes, Minister' ever shown in the States?
If that info is accurate, my guess is there wasn’t time for much if a birthday party for Lilibucks, let alone time for a proper christening. It also leads me to think the Sussexes were eager to leave the UK.
If they were welcomed warmly by the royal family and got a birthday party or a christening for Lilibucks, they probably would not have left so early at 3:15 in the afternoon. Even on a private jet, there are logistics to make sure everyone is packed and then getting to the airport. My guess is they were invited to the Jubilee just to keep the peace, but they didn’t get the money shot of them with HMTQ or at least one of HMTQ with just Lilibucks and Archie.
OR, on the flip side of that previous theory, the Sussexes DID get the money shot with the Queen, and once they got what they wanted from her, they had no reason to stay one more minute than necessary. They were using the Queen to prop up their floundering brand and nothing more, so they hauled a$$ out of the UK as quickly as possible. Their visit was purely a mercenary trip to snag that photo and once they had it, they were gone.
Typical narcissistic behavior.

Trotter Mommy has to arrange a belated party for all of her kids' friends from the neighborhood. The Kardashians will import all their various spawn, 'cause hey, all those kids are biracial too! There's going to be a bouncy house, pony rides and a giant cake shaped like Windsor Castle.
With respect to the Kardashians, they've definitely kept their distance from the Dollars. I remember right after Chrissy Tiegen's fall from grace, when * very obviously ghostwrote an article about Kris Jenner being devastated that it meant that Tiegen could no longer help the "Karjenners" meet the Dollars. Ha! If PMK had wanted a connection to the Dollars, she would have arranged one herself ASAP. That one still doesn't exist means that one never will.
Before the Jubilee, * might have been able to get John Mulaney and Olivia Munn's affair baby on the guest list. But after all that booing, I don't think she has anything anyone wants any longer.
Just looked at one of the other newspapers who actually listed that the "second cousins" were attending, including Zara's children and the Philips girls, along with the family of Archie's god fathers?
Mike Tindall has never played nice just for appearances. I'd love to think he's on the warpath, now that his children have been used not once, but twice. Shall we get a repeat of "We never met them" from 2019?
Someone pointed out earlier that Prince George and Princess Charlotte going to Wales with their parents effectively nipped all "royal birthday party" rumors in the bud. It seems that other parents in the BRF also thought two steps ahead by having their children photographed elsewhere during Lili's "birth" day.
But it's odd to me that Princess Eugenie's son August wasn't mentioned. Given how often Eugenie has let herself be used by the Dollars, I would have assumed that they'd drop his name most quickly. And make up some endearing story with impunity.
YouTube blogger Neal Sean was at the Service of Thanksgiving on Friday.
His thoughts on Harry in an article by FOX News:
Prince Harry looked 'deeply unhappy' during Service of Thanksgiving, royal expert claims
Published June 4, 2022 7:02pm EDT
Although Prince Harry has been smiling for pictures during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee, royal expert Neil Sean doesn't believe it's genuine.
Sean shared with Fox News Digital that, to him, Harry looked "deeply unhappy" while attending the Service of Thanksgiving. Sean was in attendance at the Platinum Jubilee event.
"Let me tell you one thing I did notice and this is that Prince Harry looks deeply unhappy up close and not at all happy with his new lot in [life]," Sean said in his estimation.
"It's obvious he misses this [life] and this is [a] stark reminder of what he has walked away from, and I would say he knows it," Sean speculates.
"Now a life of injunctions, press attacks and failed TV deals awaits him and [his wife] Meghan [Markle] upon their return, which can’t be nice, and no matter what he said about [being] trapped in this life, he sure made snappy he rushed back to grab the limelight and that truly was the feeling within the royal circle today," Sean concluded.
A rep for Prince Harry did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
The Sussexes made the trip overseas to celebrate the Queen's 70-year reign. She became the first British monarch to reach this milestone.
The couple was not greeted with a warm welcome upon their first return to royal event since their departure in 2020.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were noticeably booed while leaving the Service of Thanksgiving on Friday. Jeers were loudly heard during the couple’s return. Catcalls overpowered the bells as the couple put on a brave face.
As for Prince William and Kate Middleton, they received the loudest cheers of the morning.
After the reaction from the crowd, Harry and Markle skipped the reception at Guildhall after they attended the Service of Thanksgiving.
During the Trooping the Colour ceremony on Thursday, Harry and Markle were not invited to the balcony of Buckingham Palace since they are no longer senior members of the royal family.
Instead, the couple watched the event from the Major General's Office overlooking the Horse Guards Parade.
Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee marks the first time Markle and Harry have returned to the U.K. for a royal event since leaving England in 2020.
The couple currently reside in Montecito, California.
The Queen's Platinum Jubilee will conclude on Sunday.

If they are ensconced at FC, they must be climbing the walls, especially with a lively son and a daughter who is crawling by now. FC just does not offer the kind of space and privacy that Mudslide Manor does. If they don't appear at the parade, I suspect that they have already left. Or are they still desperately trying to get to see the Queen and get the photo op with her? Perhaps he even really wants to see his father and brother? Love and bonds may be suppressed, but do not disappear.
And yes, I do think the children exist. I just do not think they are taken care of by their parents or that either parent has a genuine bond with them. In the few photos we have seen of Archie, he always seems to be trying to escape them. And now that his sister can crawl, no doubt she does the same!

"Absolutely, and if the Queen's hand was forced, she must have been desperate to avoid to avoid them. Maybe that was a foolproof way of avoiding meeting the duo that would not lead to accusations of racism/discrimination etc. At the same time, it was her jubilee and the gruesome twosome should have been read the riot act on arrival. If those two have marred the Queen's jubilee then I hope they're sent packing post haste.
If some of the comments in the Mail are accurate, it seems that they have been sent packing and flew out yesterday afternoon. That explained how relaxed everyone seemed at yesterday evenings party. What a relief!

Um this did. It happen. Their private plane left the UK back to the USA on Saturday afternoon - records online - so could not possibly have had a viewing of the party with the Queen (or even the birthday party) as they had left the country. Also, no proof of kids because no car seats and apparently no record of them on plane manifesto. Just saying.

Brilliant. It's what they were born to do. Nothing wrong with it, it's an honest living, & people more talented than the two of them have done it with success. When I first heard that a prince was marrying an America actress, I idly thought, well they'll probably divorce after a child or two, & she'll start a lifestyle brand based on her connection to royalty.
No way the little royal cousins went to a birthday party for 'Lili.' If you can find it, take a look at the video of the 6s standing with Peter Phillips & the Tindalls on the steps of St. Paul's. The body language couldn't be clearer. They all couldn't wait to get away from the 6s. Even Ms. 6 looked uneasy. There are rumors Princess Anne wasn't happy about her grandchildren being merched. Whether true or not, the 6s clearly have no idea of what healthy boundaries are in a family.Yikes.

@Enbrethiliel
I agree, Mike Tindall, a Yorkshireman,
isn’t backwards at coming forwards.
He’ll let them have it with
both barrels!!
I agree with you it's a shame there weren't more pictures taken of Archie with his great grandparents and with other family members. He deserves to have those momentos when he's older.
Given Archie wasn't born when the recently-published 2018 family photo was taken, I don't know if there would have been many opportunities to gather with the family members who had young children for pictures before late 2019 or really ANY opportunity. Remember COVID hit months after their trip to SA. And lockdowns were in force in the UK with special care taken by the family not to expose the Queen or Philip to the virus.
I may be wrong but it's my understanding RF gatherings are usually at Balmoral in summer and as I said in my last response, H&M declined to go there in 2019, the summer after Archie was born. Because of COVID lockdowns, a gathering the next summer (2020) probably wasn't possible even if H&M hadn't fled to the US. The other big family gathering is usually at Sandringham at Christmas. But those haven't happened since 2019 either--and that's the year H&M were "on leave" and supposedly spending the holidays with Doria.
Honestly there probably was more tension with family than the public realized long before H&M left. I don't know how likely Harry's cousins would have been to gather together with their kids for his benefit. And where would a gathering have happened? Frogmore Cottage? We aren't even sure if that dwelling was actually renovated.
I do understand what you mean. It looks like H&M may not have bothered to have photos taken. And maybe that's what happened. But sometimes a lack of photos really means relationships have deteriorated to the point gatherings are no longer possible. That may have been the case here with the additional complication of COVID. And I think if there HAD been a full family gathering that involved everybody except the Sussexes after summer 2018 but before Philip died in 2021, we'd likely have seen a photo of it when Philip died.
Also . . .wow, leaving at 3:15 Saturday! I guess when you aren't paying for a commercial flight, you don't feel you have to "get your money's worth" by staying a decent amount of time. (Like I always do.) I know it's not the point, but what do they have to rush home to? Or for?
But even if it's just approximate, and he's the tightwad he's rumored to be, and she's the "self-made millionaire" she's rumored to be . . . can't they somehow eke out an existence?
Add to this his huge inheritance from Diana (which I think was largely a settlement from Charles) and what he expects to get in the coming years.
This greed and entitlement, combined with the lack of skills and the nasty personalities . . .I'm not saying anything new here, I know.

The Queen Mother died in debt. The Queen settled those debts. TQM had 6 grandchildren and at least 6 great-grandchildren (must be more) when she died. Why on earth would she favour 2 great-grandchildren over all the rest and then favour the hapless one over William?
Tina Brown claims to have sources at 'the Palace', but all she has done is cobbled together all the gossip and then sold it as genuine. Never trust an author who claims to have hundreds of sources that are well placed but does not name or reference any!
I would be interested to know if she has any references that can be checked.
My guesses: no children with them; no birthday party; no meeting with the Queen, his father or brother ... and they have already left. Unless it comes from the mouth of the Queen, Charles, Camilla, William or Catherine, I do not believe there were any private visits or that any of them saw the children.
I do believe the children exist, but they were left at home with Doria, the nanny and the bodyguards (the ones who look after them anyway).
So, I challenge the duo to surprise me and prove me wrong, but as I said above, my standards of proof are high, and they are non-negotiable!
Was there a confusion between boos for Boris & those for the Blighters?
So the B****rs left pdq? Good riddance to bad rubbish, as we used to say!
The story--which we've heard before--is that since W would receive all the benefits of Duchy of Whatever, H would "need" more.
So back to the references. I think you'd have to check the references, and then check the references from THOSE works. You can access the index and photographic credits on Amazon, along with parts of the text, but not the references.
All indications are that the Royal Family, both collectively and ad individuals have absolutely never had any sort of cordial, workable relationship with Harry’s wife, or with Harry once he got embroiled with her. God knows they tried to welcome her. Maybe the hoped she would settle in, but I believe the Sussex relations with the family were doomed even before the wedding. The fight with William must have been apocalyptic over “this girl”, at least in Harry’s mind. Apart from ceremonial events for the entire family, William only appeared on one public engagement with the Sussexes, and that was well before the wedding at the Heads Together TV interview. He stood up as best man for his brother, I think absolutely under duress from Granny and Pa, but to his credit he had his best game face on. Some rumors persist that he nevertheless refused to sign the wedding register and commit his name to an official record as having witnessed a legitimate marriage. As the future King he has remained as aloof from this toxic mess as possible. The relationship between William and his brother and the tart his brother brought in was so bad at the start it couldn’t have deteriorated much further. Long-sightedness is not within Harry’s abilities but one day William will be sovereign. This could happen in the next 10 years. If Harry thinks her is in Siberia now, just wait till his brother is King. Harry has been dead to him for a while now. The brothers came to blows at the polo debut of “Archie Doll” three years ago over Megadeth trying to get photos of William’s children with her fake baby. That was, I think, the last straw. Full stop. Anyone who still thinks that William is an uncle needs to watch his encounter with the press on May 6, 2019. Body Language Guy would have a field day.
Harry’s bed of nails must be sodding uncomfortable but he has to lie on it and rot. After this recent visit, I don’t think the family will ever take him back even after the inevitable divorce. He is as done as anyone has ever been.

I agree, paps in place at
Frog Cottage, much like
for the birth of Archie.
Zilch then, and now.
I do believe there are children,
not of the body.
Nadine Dorries, in addition to being a Conservative MP, is Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
Glad Chris Ship put the record straight.

Also there would have likely been a pool group of press covering the arrivals and departures from the service, and the booing and catcalls were reported by numerous press outlets by their individual representatives who were stationed outside the church.
My guess is if indeed the Sussexes departed on Saturday afternoon, there was no birthday party or a very brief birthday party. I would think if the Sussexes got their photos of HMTQ with Lilibet or any grouping that included HMTQ and Lilibet, we will eventually be seeing one released by the palace or the Sussexes. Perhaps the Sussexex may try to auction it off to the highest bidder.
There were rumors that Meghan tried to get a big payday for first photos of Archie, but there were no takers.
They may also be holding any possible photo or video of Lilibucks on her first birthday for Netflix as they were likely under heavy pressure to obtain content for Netflix.
At any rate, the booing and jeers outside St. Paul’s and obvious distancing between Harry and William during the Jubilee has been reported by multiple media outlets, so in the end, this trip at its best did not help improve their tarnished brand and at worst further damaged their brand.
If if publicly obvious that your own family is freezing you out and the British public will boo and jeer you if you appear in public, then you’ve got some major problems if you are trying to float the image that you are in good standing with your family and the public as a foundation for high-dollar business deals and income.
I am guessing it was not an enjoyable flight back to Montecito on Saturday.
My best guess is they will have financial problems if they are already not having them. They have a lot of overhead in terms of staff and other costs for Archewell and their other corporations registered in Delaware and huge costs just to run their household at the lavish level Meghan no doubt feels entitled to. That estate in Montecito alone costs a lot every month to operate and maintain and that is just the tip of the financial iceberg.
I think they blow through money at an incredible rate and badly needed a good visit to the Jubilee, but it did not happen.
The weather is truly lousy today, glad the bulk of the Jubilee celebrations had the better weather. 😀
Waiting for Lady C’s latest take on the despicable pair and the Jubilee as a whole etc! 😵💫
I do believe the children exist, but they were left at home with Doria, the nanny and the bodyguards (the ones who look after them anyway)..
I absolutely agree, this is my take and opinion too. 😃
yeah getting the feeling the duo is done. i wonder if she starts to cut her losses and bolts. being attached to him and being a duchess mean nothing (as in connections and $$$) if she’s smart she lays low and out of sight (like those alleged kids) and then pops up doing something else since we know she doesn’t stick to much long. and it will be without harry. he brings nothing to the table now.
The jewellery brand (British, based in London) is still using the photograph but has switched off comments because so many outraged Brits were lambasting them.
I'm very surprised that a British brand was willing to partner with her. If they get Markled because of this, they brought it upon themselves.
A look at their Instagram page reveals that they also supplied the pinky rings for the TIME cover in which Harry was posed as *'s hair dresser. I guess they got enough positive engagement from that -- at a time when the Dollars were already controversial -- to think it was worth trying again. Well, now they surely know better.
@Teasmade
Re Pr. Anne (and Zara) being angry about grandchildren being used for photo op: I don't need a rumor for this! I am confident it's true -- and illegal as well, if they try, or continue to try, to merch them.
Perhaps there were more photos, with a planned staggered release. But now that the BRF know of the first one, there's no way the others will ever see the light of day.
What an awful woman! It was very generous and forgiving of the Queen to want as many members of her family present for the Jubilee celebrations as possible. But Jerk and Smirk couldn't even take it as the act of love it was and chose to turn it into as many business opportunities as they could. How are they not disgusting?
This kind of family closeness is foreign to Trotter. 6 had family closeness all his life until he was ensnared and caught by Trotter's web of lies and deceit and brought her in to "The family she never had."
A commenter on DM said the driver who picked them up said there were no children with them when they arrived from CA.
@abbyh thank you for all your moderation work. I appreciate you and the improved tone of the blog.
The closeness between Prince Charles and his grandchildren, as evidenced by Prince Louis's love for him, is indeed touching!
On the flipside, it's easy to see how the Dollars might manipulate him using their own children.
(I'm still not 100% sure that Archie and Lili are who their "parents" claim they are. But if the supposed #7 and #8 really do exist, I can see Charles wrapped around their "mother's" little claw.)
* I'll put it here: a speech celebrating the reign for seventy years of his grandmother does not require a reference to the American moon-landings (whether one believes in that happening or otherwise) - how about a British scientific triumph; Conquest of Everest, The Hovercraft, Concorde, The Miicrowave Oven and so on.
Other than Queenie, they got the cold shoulder from Archbishop Welby and all the other Royals. The seniors and the minor Royals. They were shunned. They were manipulated as far as church seating went. They did not get their LilyBuck$ christening. They got no footage for Netflix. Netflix was refused press accreditation by the powers that be.
The Gruesomes were on their best behavior, and still they were shut out. Because no Royals trust them. No Royal wants their audio recorded by them. No Royal wants to be captured on tape or photographs for their Netflix show. There were a few fleeting press photos taken of the Duo with some of the minor royals and their young children, and that is it.
So now they can fly back to their huge empty mansion in Montecito and yell at each other. Blame each other.
I know that none of us wanted the Queen to give in to the Dollars by letting them be a part of the Jubilee; but in hindsight, she has behaved impeccably towards them. It would take a truly malicious mind to find fault in her treatment of "beloved members" of her family. Which means we're going to get that barrage of malice in . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .
But am I the only one who remembers the last time the Queen appeared in a bright green suit and became a meme for mischievous graphic designers? This new suit is a somewhat darker than the neon suit which inspired the meme, however, so that may save it!
