Everyone is ‘so proud’ of the Waleses for ‘not retaliating’ against the Sussexes

Kensington Palace has been on a briefing spree since Netflix dropped the first Harry & Meghan trailer during Prince William and Kate’s Boston trip. I still believe that William spent hours screaming down the phone, calling the Sussexes “the Kardashians” and shrieking about how much he “f–king hates” Meghan. Even after the Netflix series was over, William was still briefing everyone about how he and Harry will never reconcile and William will never forgive Harry for the cardinal sin of… falling in love, getting married and not putting up with William’s bullsh-t. I bring up the past month of blatant briefing from Kensington Palace (if not William himself) because Ingrid Seward thinks the king and queen are “applauding” William and Kate for being so… silent. LOL.

The Prince and Princess of Wales’ decision to not retaliate to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s explosive Netflix series has been applauded by other royals, an expert has said. William and Kate have not spoken out about the bombshell six-part documentary, which saw a number of claims levelled against the royals. Among them was that William screamed and shouted at younger brother Harry during the Sandringham Summit and that Kate had an awkward formal first meeting with Meghan. And according to royal expert and author Ingrid Seward, members of the Firm, especially King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla have been especially supportive of the couple.

She told the Mirror: “Other family members are being supportive, especially the duty-bound King and Queen, who understand how the accusations in Harry and Meghan’s extensive Netflix interviews have been incredibly hurtful. Rather than stooping to their level, they have applauded the couple’s decision not to retaliate in any way. ”

It comes after the past three months have been ones of massive upheaval for William and Kate as well as their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.But despite it being all change, Ingrid says the couple has worked to make sure the transition has been as smooth and stress-free as possible.

She explained: “On the day their great-grandmother passed away, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and little Prince Louis were enjoying their first day at their new school, Lambrook just outside Windsor. Shielded from the furore surrounding the official announcement of great granny’s death later in the day, Catherine’s priority was to be with them at Adelaide Cottage while William headed to Balmoral. Suddenly and unexpectedly the world had changed for them all. They had only recently moved to the elegant little house on the Windsor estate leaving behind Anmer Hall their home from home in Norfolk. The idea was to keep them all together as a tight family unit while even their staff were housed in separate accommodation.

“Luckily children are happily adaptable. Adults have to follow suit. Both William and Kate were thrust into full-time official royal duties while keeping their favourite causes running alongside. As Prince of Wales, William took on his father’s duties along with his titles and income from the Duchy of Cornwall. As Princess of Wales, Kate was conscious of her predecessor as well as all the extra responsibilities she had taken over from her brother-in-law, Prince Harry such as becoming patron of the rugby football league.

“Harry’s clumsy attempts to claim Diana’s legacy sit uncomfortably beside William and Kate’s grace, dignity and hard work, which has lent their new roles another dimension and they are obviously proud to carry the title than once epitomised Diana.”

[From The Daily Mirror]

I never understood all of the panic about Kate staying in Windsor on the day QEII died. It was her kids’ first day of school, of course she wanted to be there for their first day. Royalists were acting absolutely bonkers to try to make excuses for Kate’s absence in Balmoral when the truth would have sufficed. Instead, they made it sound like Meghan couldn’t come to Balmoral because Kate wasn’t there plus “the royals don’t consider Meghan to be part of the family.” What could have been a simple story about first-day-of-school logistics became another royal attack on Meghan. As for all of the keenery about William and Kate’s extra duties… they haven’t done anything but go on flop tours and mystery vacations. And no, William hasn’t stayed silent. He’s been screaming and raging for weeks.

Meanwhile, did you see that Kate planted a tree? She didn’t really plant it. Someone else dug the hole, put a wild cherry tree in the hole and filled in most of the hole with dirt, then Kate came along and posed with a shovel for the last part and Kate got credit for “planting a tree.” That’s representative of everything Kate does. It’s a microcosm of every Keen event. The wild cherry tree was donated by the Duchy of Cornwall (Kate is the Duchess of Cornwall) and it was planted there because Westminster Abbey had to remove a horse chestnut tree which had rotted. The Abbey made a big deal about how Kate planted it in memory of Queen Elizabeth.

    Looks like everyone is shoveling $h!t at this point

    • Geegee says:

      Isn’t it a little cold to plant a tree?

      • BeanieBean says:

        I googled (not a lot to do today), and now is actually a good time to plant a cherry tree. It’s best to do when they’re dormant, so November-March. Go figure.
        As for busy busy busy & work work work, interesting how this propaganda stuff works. They keep repeating their lies even though we can see perfectly well that they’re untrue. They got new titles. They updated their social media. And that’s it, same ol’, same ol’ with these two.

      • windyriver says:

        @BeanieBean – not sure where your info is from but this doesn’t seem right. The RHS says the best time to plant things like cherry trees is in the fall. The purpose is so the tree will concentrate on establishing a root system during cooler weather before the stress of the spring and summer growing season to put out flowers and leaves. In many parts of the US at least the ground freezes during the winter so you won’t be planting anything in January. Maybe planting is okay in areas where the weather remains moderate (I remember seeing daffodils blooming in London in February years ago) and the ground doesn’t freeze, but Xmas time still seems later than ideal. I’m not an expert so maybe someone here knows more!

      • Jilly says:

        I really don’t care if it was a good or bad time to plant the tree. Everytime I see her all I can think is what an ass hole she is. Said it.

      • Beverley says:

        Oh Jilly! Me too.

    • Eurydice says:

      Lol, like how my cat furiously digs in his litter box

    • Cessily says:

      They have been briefing non stop as retaliation! Their silence on Jeremy Clarkson is retaliation! The burgundy coat show using a child was retaliation! The plaid coat screamed retaliation! These people truly think the world is stupid and we don’t see exactly what they are doing.

      • Where'sMyTiara says:

        On Vogue’s instagram (American not UK edition), they are draaaaaaaging Kensington Karen for filth. It’s HI-larious. Vogue tried it with embiggening KKKate, but public is NOT. HAVING. IT.

        I love this for her.

  2. Elizabeth says:

    Kate planted a tree wearing a coat just like the one Meghan wore during her trip to Edinburgh before she and Harry married.

    • TheVolvesSeidr says:

      Yep, only the buttons were different (of course)

    • Jen says:

      To be fair, Kate has worn coats and other items in Blackwatch plaid since forever. The number of buttons on this is totally her addiction, but Blackwatch plaid is popular and common, and nobody is copying anyone by wearing it.

      • Lorna says:

        That coat is nearly identical to the one Meghan wore.

      • WHAT says:

        How many times do we have to tell the 🧱 STAN that comes on this website. Hi Carol and Kate staff
        All you need to do is a simple Google search. This IS a copy not of the plaid-cause you’re correct she’s worn that before. It’s a copy of the different style and length of the coat. The 🧥, the style and length minus the buttons, the skirt and 🐢 neck comes from Meghan’s style. Even with a 🆕 title Kate will ALWAYS try to fool people into thinking that she’s something she clearly isn’t. Which is the reason why all she can do is copy

      • tamsi says:

        Blackwatch plaid is very popular and I’ve seen Kate wear it before. What is of note here is that her other Blackwatch coats were very much in Kate’s style, and they were actually lovely coats. Here she is wearing a classic overcoat, worn by millions of women, and Meghan. Wearing this classic style is not Kate of the past. BTW, I’ve heard Harry say planting trees is the family business, and that’s how everyone officially plants a tree. Nobody actually does the digging- it’s a photo op and the whole thing is symbolic, so can’t expect Kate to be the only one doing the onorous task of actually digging.

      • Jen says:

        @WHAT Oh, ffs. just because I liked and followed Kate before I saw what she, Will and the rest of the Windsors did to Meghan and Harry doesn’t make me her stan or a Middleton mouthpiece.

      • Nic919 says:

        To be fair why didn’t Kate just wear one of her other coats with the black watch plaid instead of getting an entirely new one which just happened to match what Meghan wore previously in style and length with the addition of gaudy gold buttons.

        At least call her out on her wasteful nature when trying to say she’s worn black watch plaid before.

      • Jen says:

        @Nic919 She does constantly waste a lot of money on new similar things, like, what is it, 4 outfits associated with the Christmas carol thing alone? But this coat is not new. In fact, her whole outfit is a repeat from a remembrance video from last year. The time to call out waste for it was last year.

  3. girl_ninja says:

    “Both William and Kate were thrust into full-time official royal duties while keeping their favourite causes running alongside.”

    These two do not work and have never worked. I like seeing this lie shouted down by folks (on Twitter anyway.)

    Will and Kate started all this shit against Meghan and Harry because they are lazy bums who wanted to deflect from their laziness and bum behaviors. So there really isn’t any retaliation, just the same old behavior from trolls known as the Wales.

    • Chloe says:

      They weren’t “thrusted” into anything. The press had been rightfully criticizing them for being part time royals and doing less that the likes of the Duke of Edinburgh who was already in his 90’s at that point. In 2017 the press gleefully reported that they were finally ready to become full time working royals. And then just like that kate got pregnant with louis.

      But even now that she’s a full time working royal kate performs 90 engagements a year. How this woman doesn’t put her head down in shame is beyond me

      Is 90 engagements even more than she did when she was a part time royal?

      • HeatherC says:

        William’s wife has “worked” less than the deceased Elizabeth. Next year she’ll probably work less than Elizabeth too.

      • Anne says:

        I still can’t wrap my head around 90 engagements for the ENTIRE YEAR. Even if those were 90 days of 8 hours of work, that would still be shameful. But calling 3- 4 hours per event “full-time” is beyond laughable. She has staff to do literally everything — research, organize, etc. PLUS a full-time nanny. Seriously — what does she do all day???????

      • Nic919 says:

        Let’s not forget a large bulk of that 90 is short phone calls. Also arriving at every country during a tour and the departure is a separate engagement.

        She’s lazy. All her kids are in school full time and she could work more than an elderly woman who died in September and who was literally declining before our eyes

    • one of the marys says:

      Girl_ninja I’m not on Twitter, is there push back on this statement?

      • girl_ninja says:

        From what I have gleaned on Twitter are calling bullshit to calling Kate a “hard worker” when she barely goes to any events.

  4. equality says:

    So big praise for helping your own children deal with the death of a grandparent? And they are NOW being thrust into being full time? So it is okay to leak against your brother and plant media stories and to scream at people as long as you don’t say anything in public?

  5. Eleonor says:

    They orchestrated a smear campaign, abused Meghan to cover Wills cheating @&s I’ d say that’s enough.

  6. Maxine Branch says:

    Harry spoke of his disappointment re his brother’s house briefing against then when they have previously agreed never to do this. William is a pathetic piece of work. There is nothing he can do because everything Harry and Meghan stated on their Netflix series can be verified from real time footage and briefings.

    What I find funny is how they try to embiggen William by stating he is done with Harry when Harry made it absolutely clear he is not only done with William but the institution as well and he and his family are looking forward to what is next.

  7. Ginger says:

    The only reason W&K are so silent regarding the docu series is because everything H&M said is true. It IS true that Will signed Harry’s name to that statement ( and it’s interesting that no royal reporter is talking about it) and it’s true that Will broke the pact that Harry and him made to never brief against each other and it’s also true that Will screamed at Harry at the summit (Will is known to be a rage monster) So…why deny it?

    We all know Will and Kate are in bed with the tabloids, it’s why they get such glowing coverage from them.

    • Duch says:

      @Ginger, You’re right. That ersatz joint statement was the underpinning for “they’re willing to lie” and there’s been NO coverage on that in any press that I’ve seen. Why is that?

    • Lux says:

      Exactly. What can you say in retaliation against the truth? Aside from the asinine “We’re very much not a racist family” response, they’ve NEVER gone on the record. Also it was usually TQ who made a statement and I see that the people advising the current occupants of BP and KP are once again, even worse than those who advised TQ. They can keep patting themselves on the back for being so “silent” and dignified, while continuing their modus operandi with the press and believing that the public is none the wiser.

    • HamsterJam says:

      The royal family are allowed to draft whatever statement they want, fake Harry’s signature on it and then officially issue the lie to the press AND GET AWAY WITH IT.

      If their “signed official statements” are lies, what would chance is there that anything that comes from them or “their friends” or “their palace sources” is the truth?

      They got off lucky with that one, I think even in England Harry could have sued them and won over that. It was an official document with a forged signature.

  8. UNCDancer says:

    I always plant trees in heeled, suede boots. The Royals: they’re just like us. #sarcasm

    • Isabella says:

      I noticed that too. And Kate actually does casual jacket/pants/boots well. This is a silly look .

    • Nem says:

      That ‘s kate’ s SWFing of her SIL becoming weirder with 2 meghan looks in one :the blue and green coat and the dress + The suede boots, from 2 differents occasions before the sussexes wedding.
      Why can’t she take some advices from vogue fashionistas, or a decent stylist ? She ‘s supposed to have that duchy of cornwall big money access…

  9. Zazzoo says:

    Yes, quiet dignity personified.

  10. Noor says:

    Extra work ? Only 90 engagements for Kate for 2022. Without the Jubilee and Queen’s funeral , the job numbers would be even more dismal.

    • Cathy says:

      That is 90 new outfits Kate had to get @Noor

      Shopping is really hard work

  11. The Royals are Ghouls! says:

    No, they just get their step-mummy to ask Jeremy Clarkson to write unhinging violent screes about Meghan. Totally normal and healthy.

    • Yvette says:

      @The Royals are Ghouls! … “No, they just get their step-mummy to ask Jeremy Clarkson to write unhinging violent screes about Meghan. Totally normal and healthy.”

      Absolutely this! Besides which, William and Kate didn’t have to ‘retaliate’ because they got Uncle Gary to do it for them. And what is this shite about an ‘upheaval’ because they left “behind Anmer Hall their home from home in Norfolk.” Wasn’t it reported that they didn’t attend the Royal Luncheon because they had taken off for Norfolk? Also, using the children in the article as a tool to prop up their parents is a real class act.

      They moved their family to Windsor so they could be a tight family unit without all the servants. Now they’re finally admitting, buried in a gaslighting piece about how Harry and Meghan are far beneath the Waleses and aren’t worth the effort, that keen William and Kate haven’t reduced their servant staff at all (as originally reported), they’ve just moved them into a separate building on Windsor estate. So much for trying to make them appealing to the ‘common’ people. **Could it be they separated their live-in servants so no one could leak the fact that William doesn’t live at Adelaide Cottage?

      And as far as no one believing William would ‘ever’ scream at Harry? There were several articles written at the time about how ‘incandescent with rage’ William was at Harry during the summit, so much so he wouldn’t even sit down to lunch with his brother and how ‘incandescent’ with rage William was at that ‘Bloody woman!’ Meghan. Give it up, Wills … not many people are buying it anymore.

      Sorry about the rant.

  12. Becks1 says:

    LOLOL at the idea that they became FT royals when the Queen died. that’s news to the rest of us since we were told they’ve been FT royals since at least 2017. And besides, I thought being PT royals was something that wasn’t allowed?!?

    Kate and William can’t officially say anything about the Netflix doc bc It was all TRUE, especially the part about Knauf.

    • Amy Bee says:

      This is the real reason why William and Kate haven’t “said” anything about the docuseries. Any official response would elicit a response from Harry and Meghan that would be embarrassing for the Cambridges.

      • Jaded says:

        Came here to say the exact same thing. I think fear of this happening is a major contributor to William’s rages — he’s beyond frustrated that the Sussexes are holding a “sword of Damocles” info dump over his and Kate’s heads and could easily use it against him and others in the RF if the Wails lob anything at them.

      • Beverley says:

        @Jaded, absolutely! And fear can make a person dangerous. Willnot is terrified that his brother can and will drop those receipts at any time. This fuels his rage! Harry is supposed to defer to him, obey him, and fall on his sword for him. The fact that Harry has finally walked away from the abuse has outraged his abuser. And Will probably lies awake at night plotting ways to silence his brother.

        Harry was concerned that history would repeat itself and that Meghan was in mortal danger, as was Diana. But I worry that William is so furious, he’s now considering how to make Harry disappear permanently.

    • Nic919 says:

      Yes they were supposedly full time in 2017 when Philip retired, although prior to then they never acknowledged they were barely doing part time numbers. And now it only happened in sept 2022?

      What’s next, simply saying they won’t be full time until Charles is gone?

      Diana’s work ethic is going to be brought back more and more since kate wants to use her new title. And kate fails already. She’s older than Diana ever lived to be and still can’t speak properly or work any significant issues. She rarely attends hospitals to see sick kids and most of her engagements were attending sports events and concerts.

  13. Flower says:

    Gas-lighting co-Narcissist’s the lot of them.

    They are so tone deaf and think they have gotten away with not condemning Jeremy Clarkson. These things take time but eventually….

  14. Lucky Charm says:

    Is this the right time of year to plant a tree, though? I thought that needed to be done in spring, or in the fall before the frost so the roots could get established?

    • BeanieBean says:

      It’s a good time to plant cherry trees (I googled).

    • windyriver says:

      @Lucky Charm – didn’t see your comment and wrote something about this above. I’m with you; spring or fall, at least in the part of US I’m in where the ground will freeze during the winter. I also checked the RHS website to see if things are different in England, but they say, autumn. I’m curious what websites @BeanieBean came across for her info.

      • First comment says:

        Actually, we don’t know when was the photo taken… they just released it now to justify her absence since the recital . So, perhaps the planting took place in autumn.

      • BeanieBean says:

        Hey, windy river: I googled ‘when is a good time to plant cherry trees in London’–or something like that–and skimmed the first response. I didn’t go deeper than that! Because I don’t really care! 😉 I won’t be planting trees of any kind any time soon. Or at all, come to think of it!

      • windyriver says:

        @BeanieBean – No problem! I was a bit horticulturally focused yesterday because of the weather. Where I am, temps dropped 50 degrees F in less than 24 hours. With the rains just before that, good chance the only flowering shrub I have, an ancient rhodo that came with the house, is probably toast, which is too bad. Anyway, at least here the rain didn’t come down as snow, I’m not quite in the below zero territory that’s in much of the US, and I don’t have to travel for the holidays!

  15. Red Weather Tiger says:

    “Suddenly and unexpectedly the world had changed for them all.”

    Uh, ok. They knew their entire marrried lives that they would be the Wails. They knew the 95 year old queen had been in seriously declining health for a year. If her death and their new roles were sudden or unexpected, whose fault is that? Kate certainly had a plan for how to grab QE2’s jewels the moment she was gone.

    • Becks1 says:

      Also, how has their world changed? I think for William it probably is very weird to not have his grandmother and the family matriarch there anymore, but beyond that, what’s changed? They have direct access to the duchy money now? They’re not doing more work, they’re not traveling more, they’re not taking on more official duties, etc.

      If anything Kate seems to be doing LESS work.

    • BeanieBean says:

      Nothing changed for the adults, but the kids did change schools & homes.

    • Kittenmom says:

      Yeah, exactly how unexpected is it for someone to die at age 96? 🤔

      • Feeshalori says:

        Now I’m always going to think of that line from the Derry Girls paraphrasing, “She was in her prime.”

  16. Duch says:

    How infantilizing. Like they’re being patted on the head.

  17. LRob says:

    Memo to introduce W&K have not retaliated because they attacked H&M for years thru lies and smears campaigns. What are they going to say?

  18. Brassy Rebel says:

    A key point of the docu-series was that William uses others to do his dirty work because he is a backstabbing coward, although H&M were not that blunt. Now here comes Ingrid Seward, paid family shill, to proclaim how wonderful W&K are for maintaining the so called “dignified silence” all while all the Ingrid Sewards are out there once again doing William’s dirty work EXACTLY as H&M said they do. Even for the royal propaganda machine this piece is a particularly offensive and over the top pile of 🐎 poo.

    And I hope the damn 🍒 tree dies.

    • BeanieBean says:

      Looks like that lamp post is going to fall straight onto it anyway.

    • North of Boston says:

      Paid family shill …

      … and also one of the four faking fools who provided “expert analysis” of the Sussexes’ Oprah interview… before it had aired.

      Her words about the Windsors mean nothing

  19. Amy Bee says:

    Kate didn’t go to Balmoral because she refused to go, plain and simple that’s why the Palace made up the excuse as to why Meghan couldn’t go. I have no doubt that Kate and William are separated, it’s the only reason why she and the children would move to much smaller Adelaide Cottage. It wouldn’t surprise me if the children are living with William at Windsor Castle.

    • Kittenmom says:

      Yes, she didn’t want to go because she needed to call dibs on the Queen’s jewels.

    • Cairidh says:

      Charles and Diana’s separation agreement had them share custody 50-50.

      Kate is a much less hands on/a less devoted mother than Diana and William is much more controlling than Charles so it’s unlikely he would give main custody to Kate.
      The only reason he would do that would be if he was too lazy to have more time with them/ didn’t want to have the children around the house more.

  20. Bonsai Mountain says:

    Grace, dignity and hard work – yes we saw the Caribbean tour. /s

  21. Ivy says:

    oh give us a break!

  22. L4Frimaire says:

    Their legal team probably reviewed it and they were contacted by the filmmakers. What are they going to complain about? Kate was barely mentioned in the doc and how is William going to respond? Say he doesn’t recall making a pact they’d never leak on each other, that the bully statement wasn’t released w/o asking Harry and was a lie, or that his employee got out of his NDA to testify against Meghan in the Mail trial?. What’s he going to say, that they’re not hurt, that Meghan isn’t constantly harassed in the media and under threat, that their lives are not their own? I really wish he’d finally stfu because everything he’s done is the main factor in the damage and the deep rift caused.

    • KC says:

      Thank you for putting the responsibility squarely where it lies: on Bulliam. My likely VERY unpopular opinion is that Kate is not the instigator. She’s a product of her environment and history so not the warmest or friendliest to M and her family will always attempt to embiggen her but I can’t imagine her life with the future king is pleasant, especially since she aims for nothing other than being seen favorably/optics. But ultimately, I think she’s a small cog, if even that much power, and victim to Bulliam’s rages and ways while likely jealous of what H & M have so unable to truly embrace M and the way she inadvertently revealed K’s shortcomings. In addition, I don’t think W ever expected much from K. He was willing to play along with Fabulous Four until H & M’s charisma was made manifest and it was clear he and K could neither keep up nor compete.

      W is too powerful/forceful and never cared for H&M’s union. K had to follow his lead or feel his wrath. She has no sway over W even if she wasn’t jealous of and wanted to befriend M she would still have to face W’s displeasure. People get riled up about her not correcting Cryinggate but she was powerless to do so. This is and has always been about the brothers, more so Bulliams displeasure, jealousy, rage against H&M being everything he and K aren’t. I detest how the media has made this a M vs K thing. This is a William badly behaving, bullying, and betraying his brother’s family whom he thinks is subservient to himself. There was never any room for K to go against that. Once again, women get dragged when it’s a man behind the scenes pulling the strings. I’m willing to be wrong and see how this plays out. Perhaps things went downhill when M outshined K so they avoided anything related to her because that’s how they got here and realized that’d fanbthe flames, but IMO H&M barely said a word about K because they recognize her very minor role and her imprisonment in all this. I think K’s fading because she has to deal with her own level of W’s rage and bullying (maybe even shielding the kids), failing to keep his attention/be loved, disappointing marriage that she thought was status quo but H&M have proven untrue.

      • Julia K says:

        Interesting . Appreciate your thoughts, but how does this explain the glares and the scowls and shunning by Kate directed toward Meghan in public? This was not scripted, it was all Kate imo.

  23. Ina says:

    They have nothing to retaliate for. They’ve been busted and outed and they know it too.

  24. Full til working royals while still working on other charities? Laughing forweeks!!!

  25. Vanessa says:

    The Cambridge’s don’t have to Respond they have the British media and the royal lackeys like Kate uncle doing there dirty work. For them at the heart of it William and Kate are cowards and bully who are miserable together and want to inflict their misters on others especially Meghan and Harry . They won’t say anything because Meghan and Harry will respond with Recipes like they always do . The Cambridge’s finger prints are all over the smeared campaign the media knows this and are doing their bidding by ignored the evidences and purposely concentrate on things that don’t matter .

  26. Well Wisher says:

    This article is a clear indication that they kept quite in the face of truth.

    Steward was briefed.

    While I do not know them personally, ‘dignified’ would not be the descriptor I would use in any discussion concerning them.

    Work and the newly-minted Wales seems like an oxymoron.
    After the Queen’s death, just a few engagements in Kate & Will complained via briefings bitterly about Harry not ‘kinging’ because they have small children.
    A ridiculous notion, since Harry & Meghan have toddlers and still do meaningful work, and they are no longer working royals, since William ‘bullied’ them to distraction.

    So they eventually left.

    Now they are being praised, for not being able to claim victimhood and retaliate.

    There is nothing left to cudgel the Sussexes, whinging about the titles are out.
    (Good seats at the coronation?? Can’t they send their regrets.)
    The Tory government refused any part in that idea for obvious reasons.
    If the King does so, would it not go against the actions of the late Queen?
    Most importantly, there is no cover.

    He has already reclaimed three positions that she gave his father.
    Two military related from Harry and Andrew.
    He refused to honour his word about Edward.
    Feet dragging in formal recognition the Sussexes children’s titles.

    Denmark’s Queen recent decision cannot be used as a cover, hers was a public relations disaster.

    Finally, it is embarassing how low the bar is for the Waleses

      Well Wisher, ITA. I have seen a comment or two that says that H&M should denounce their titles now. The argument is that the only reason the brf didn’t accept their denunciation of their titles was because they left the door open for H&M to return before the 1 year review. I believe if QE2 had wanted this, it would have been requested at the 1 year review. The fact that they continue to have the DDoS titles means QE2 wanted them to keep them. Even if the bm won’t touch on this, I keep hoping it will pop up on social media.

    That woman next to Kate, the one who actually did the work? Her outfit is more stylish than Kate’s IMO. A bit “Schoolgirl” chic and looks comfy. I like the head gear.

    And the “claims leveled against the Royals” were things that actually happened. In other words, Harry and Meghan revealed some truths.

    • BeanieBean says:

      I noticed that outfit too, and the mud on her boots. I thought, ah, of course, she’s the one who did all the work so that Katie Keen can be photographed ‘planting a tree’. It’s such a funny photo, really, with all those choir boys & men standing around & watching the two women do the dirty work. Or one woman do the dirty work and one pretend work.

  28. Feebee says:

    Have to agree with the sentiments on the Waleses. First the FT Royal bit after the Queen’s death. The poor wee things but yeah, wasn’t that supposed to have happened in 2017?

    Secondly the silence to H&M… they’ve briefed/leaked what they can but are too spooked to respond officially because they’re not sure what receipt will be pulled out.

    As an aside I’m getting sick of these royal gossip hounds being referred to as experts. Maybe entertainment reporters should start calling themselves this.

  29. Lorna says:

    You got to feel sorry for them. They have less work and all of the extra responsibilities of a boat load of money and no taxes. They haven’t said if he would pay a voluntary tax or not. Charles did as Prince of Wales. I don’t know how much. I don’t trust amounts given to tabloids. I would think he would, but he’s so spoiled and no one calls him out for anything anymore. I hope someone in the Labour party points it out after the new year. They are the laziest royals and most expensive. They’re getting more expensive every year while the economy is crumbling and essential workers are striking.

    Grace,dignity and hard work. So laughable. The keens caused the problems. The saint wails spin.

  31. QuiteContrary says:

    I think Ingrid got into the Christmas sherry early.

    The Kool-Aid-flavored sherry.

  32. The Recluse says:

    If they could have, you just know that William would have been happy to lock up H and M in the Tower or sent them off to internal exile/prison in some country house, like what was done to Mary Queen of Scots.

  33. Lilly (with the double-L) says:

    Thanks for the smile, pretending to dig and plant is… something. I get that in the past it was ceremonial to have the Queen there and clearly not actually digging or planting anything, but it’s truly time to update. Plus this seems like a made up event for kate? Can we throw something bland together and throw in a brown child? On the plus side, I love the outfit of the other woman there. Headband, sensible boots for working in a garden, but also individual style. Also, yay for a new tree. I hope it survives a winter planting.

  34. KC says:

    Briefing to say what? What have been the negative stories about the Cambridges over the past 6 years?

  35. Tessa says:

    Harry’s clumsy attempts says ingrid. hey Ingrid will wants his mother’s interview censored and labeled her paranoid.

  36. Veronica S. says:

    I would not have guessed the third American-British conflict would be over actual members of the Royal family itself, but god job Meghan. You’ve gone where so many of our ancestors could not and colonized the colonizers.
