If Harry didn't expect any backlash from his tell all, he's thicker than I thought. Blood is thicker than water, it's just messier to clean up. Oh absolutely, Harry knew there would be backlash. He's keenly aware who his father is. What we didn't anticipate was that Charles (and Camilla) would prove him right so quickly. I read this morning that Harry paid a one-year lease last March so it would appear that that expense would not be reimbursed. Consideration for improving the property is being discussed, however.

I read this morning that Harry paid a one-year lease last March so it would appear that that expense would not be reimbursed. Consideration for improving the property is being discussed, however. Charles also gave him money, to help with his transition. Even though he was no longer a working royal. I have seen nothing about Camilla, I think that's perhaps an assumption . If he was expecting a backlash, then he shouldn't be surprised.

No idea how they feel about it... if they're disappointed, angry, surprised, relieved... no clue. Harry has come to expect no less from his only living parent, and he doesn't trust Camilla, so chances are good they weren't surprised at all. Meghan packed some of their personal things during their last stay.

Meghan packed some of their personal things during their last stay. Maybe they were already thinking about moving.? They knew it would be uncomfortable after the book came out. Parents often don't get on with their adult children and their spouses, they are no different. I doubt Camilla cares , but at one point Harry said how happy she made his father, and she was good to them. Something , or someone, turned Harry into a different person imjo. I remember feeling so happy he'd found someone, now I wished he hadn't.

It was Netflix, and it wasn't the book. Harry and Meghan broke privacy and safety protocols by filming inside the palace compound. They knew what they were doing; they cared more about creating footage for their trash-for-cash Netflix docudrama reality show than anything or anyone else, even their children.

That is something, that leaves me highly suspicious. Why did they need that footage, was this the plan all along? M went into places she shouldn't have, that's plain creepy and devious.

I am beginning to think the bigger story here is about Andrew.
Some of the headlines about H&M say they were evicted, others suggest they were asked to vacate. Perhaps they were politely asked to leave, but just coincidentally on the day after Spare was released? Maybe the request really was nothing more than a request, and fell in line with Charles wanting to pare things back. It's not as if he's putting his son out on the street; Meghan & Harry own a beautiful estate. I think the proof will be in the pudding if he offers them an apartment on the grounds when they come to visit. Only a coldhearted individual with his wealth would put at risk the lives of their own children and grandchildren.
So back to Andrew... all of the headlines about him say that he is resisting. What does that mean and how will that be resolved? Doesn't Fergie live there, too? If so, where does she intend to go? Eugenie is likely disappointed she will no longer have a temporary place to stay.

I would never buy the book, but I'm enjoying this youtube creator's chapter-by-chapter discussion of Harry's book. She's divided Spare's numerous clusters of sections into her chapters. I tnink it is an excellent and fair reading. It's not dry at all and, instead, entertaining. She teaches literature or drama, is a miltary wife and defines her channel as, "I review books in long form style with humor and sometimes insight if the spirit moves me."
I'm listing to Chapter 16 right now. Highly recommended.
This is a playlist link. Pay attention for there are multiple chapters out of line and at least one chapter not attached to the playlist, meaning you need to look for it under the video section.

I am up to Chapter 16. Throughout this book, Harry is a mess — no self-reflection at all. None. Ever. And he wants the reader to know this. William has initiative. Harry has none. Instead, he is stumbling through life. Whining, jealous, insensitive, annoying, and blames everything on William and "pa." And then there's mummy, who, after 12 years, he finally accepted was dead and, a few years after, he finally cried about her death.

I'm confused as to why you don't read the book yourself and come to your own conclusions rather than allowing someone else to 'interpret' it for you.

I'm confused why you would assume I am not drawing my conclusion. She's reading the book on youtube. I'm listening as I go about my day. She does point out relevant behavioral repetitions, which are hard not also to conclude.
What the content creator is not doing is calling out his drug use as a factor or maybe the cause of being so selfish and out of touch. I've seen what heavy drug use does to people I know. IMO, Harry is an addict. His gateway seems so be marijuana. Thus Harry is the Pothead Prince.
I expect you've read or are reading the book. What do you think of Harry's memoir? If not, watch the content creator's video, and you can share your thoughts with us.
Later in the month, I will discuss a few Meghan fan sites I've encountered. Meghan is a pretty girl but an ugly human being.

I just saw a picture of Lilibet following her christening. The resemblance of her and the late Queen is remarkable. She resembles Queen Elizabeth, IMO.

I googled Lilibet's christening..and it was at the People.com web site. I'm afraid the only picture I see there is the one taken on her first birthday. But thank you for checking! I do see at that site, however, that we can now officially call Lilibet Diana a princess: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's two children are getting an update on the royal family's website. PEOPLE understands that the palace will update the royal family's official website to reflect Prince Archie Harrison and Princess Lilibet Diana's titles in due course. They currently are styled as "Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor" and "Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor." The titles are in line with the precedent established by King George V after he issued a Letters Patent in 1917, which conferred the title of prince or princess on male line grandchildren of the sovereign. Upon the death of Queen Elizabeth in September, Harry's father became King Charles — and as grandchildren of the monarch, 3-year-old Archie and 1-year-old Lili were afforded the titles of prince and princess. Prince Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, referred to their children's royal titles for the first time while confirming the news of their daughter's recent christening in California.

Looking more closely I see a hint of a link, so I am wrong, because it is there. But, I'm also right because I can't see it.
FTR, I keep my fonts small and my diplays bright. I doubt I changed forum settings, so it's probably an android/pc thing, for I am not currently using apple products.
I haven't designed web pages for ... heck, I'd prefer not to mention how many decades. That being said, there was a time that a default link shows up as underlined, bold and blue. That's not the case anymore and why I paste a full link or underline and bold a word link. I suppose I do that because I don't see my own word links.
Actually, that's not true. I consider doing so as protocol.

Fergie was on The View and was asked about Harry & Meghan and the British press. She reenforced how awful they are, "They're going out of control," and "I just think it is so good to see Harry happy, he's so happy and she makes him happy, and that is good. Let us stop, I think, all judgments on every level, everywhere." She went on to say that her response to anyone who asks her what faith she practices is "Kindness."
I enjoyed hearing her talk about her chats with the Queen and their walks with the dogs.

It's a cool feature. I believe the first time I saw anyone do it that way was AZChristian. It's a far cleaner look. And then you, Eastcoastmom, taught me how to "tag" other posters. These enhancements, if you will, have become useful tools that I appreciate!

That's why I don't use this shortcut, cause I am always afraid people will miss the source that validates what I'm saying.

I think it stands out like a sore thumb but if someone were colorblind/or bordered on colorblind, I guess I could see where they might struggle to see the distinction between the two different colors. amber, after all, wasn't able to see it after she was told twice that it was there. Makes me wonder what else some of you are missing. Do you see the words in blue at the bottom of the page? Those are links. Does the "NEW" button look blue to you? That is also a link, of sorts. Curious if you are even seeing blue borders. Our last forum allowed us to change the appearance, not sure if this one does. Anyway, time to move along like ECM said. This is now General Discussion stuff.

Yes, and the reasoning of inserting the direct link to copyright content is to protect the forum owners from being the recipient of take down notices and/or sued, as it is the forum's responsibility to make the linked address attribution as clear as day and not concealed inside a stealth embeddment. Rule of thumb is, when referring to something else, it's usually ok to embed. But bold or underline the words leading to the link. When quoting sections of the copyright content, the address itself should be prominent, open to the eye and not hidden.
