Harry & wife 'took their own private photographer into Buckingham Palace without Queen's permission'

Posted by Susan T on December 3, 2022, 8:17 am, in reply to "December 3 - Sussex Thread"

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been accused of taking a private photographer to Buckingham Palace for photographs without the permission of the late Queen.

It comes after a behind-the-scenes image was broadcast on Netflix in a trailer for the couple's new documentary, which shows a series of black and white photographs taken at their Frogmore Cottage home, during their 2018 wedding reception and on holidays.

The one-minute-long trailer features an image which appears to have been taken inside Buckingham Palace, showing the couple walking out of the garden entrance.

Protocol dictates that anyone who wants to film or take pictures in the monarch's home require permission.

Those men apparently opening the doors for them don't look like BP footmen. And what function did she attend dressed like that? The photo was set up to make them look more important than they were or are. How coul BP officials not be aware the Sussexes were there and had a private photographer? To me it doesn't look like the BP Garden entrence, but I could be wrong. If it is, then this just proves--once again, and as if we needed more proof--that the Harkles were out for themselves from the start.

On a video (Taz, Murky?), there a zoom in on the box immediately to the right of a footman. It say's "Her Majesty".

She's wearing a coat, which she wouldn't have been wearing indoors at the engagement. I'm linking to the description provided by the blog What Meghan Wore of two engagements held at BP.

Permission to take photographs may have been given to the organizations or given to H&M but the permission was limited to the location where the meeting was held and for the duration of the meeting.

King Charles and Prince William will hold crisis talks over Netflix show

Posted by Susan T on December 3, 2022, 8:34 am, in reply to "December 3 - Sussex Thread"

King Charles is set to hold crisis talks with Prince William upon his return from the United States as they prepare to put on a united front when the Sussexes' Netflix documentary airs next week.

Senior royals are said to be bracing for the worst and will be prepared to address any unfounded accusations head on after the Prince and Princess of Wales were reportedly blindsided by the release of the Sussexes' documentary trailer midway through their high-profile visit to Boston this week.

An insider told The Mirror: 'There is a completely united front from the King and his family concerning the numerous attempts to privately make peace with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which sadly have once again resulted in the other side wishing to air their repeated grievances to the world.

'If there is a need to respond to anything in the upcoming series then you can be assured that response will be swift and robust.'

We know that as early as late spring/early summer, at the least, the Palace legal team was already at work, this being while the Queen was very much alive. In Nov. of 2021, the story came out that the Palace legal team was told that, yes, they can take legal action in cases of defamation/slander/libel.
The BBC World Service was discussing the past week and the analysts praised the Palace for it's swift action regarding the incident with Lady Susan. They went to add that Queen Elizabeth is gone and there is a new King and the Palace is no longer going to handle situations with kid gloves. It's going to strike back without any hesitation. They had praise for William and Catherine for their US visit and William's handling of this week's situation. There was mention of a US poll that placed William and Catherine at the top while the Sussexes were at the bottom of the poll among the US public, they didn't mention who conducted the poll.
I hope what was stated proves true.

Never explain, never complain doesn't work in this day and age. Many people get their news from social media, and the mainstream media is no longer controlled by those press baron peers who were inclined to show deference.

I hope Charles listens to William, whom I'm convinced is receiving advice from HG Tudor. Don't get into a mudslinging contest with Harry and wife, just present factual evidence of their lies without engaging in ad hominin attacks. When possible, ignore them. No repeat of the scorched earth tactics used by Charles and Diana.

Harry dressed up as Spider-Man suit to deliver a Christmas message

Posted by Susan T on December 3, 2022, 10:35 am, in reply to "December 3 - Sussex Thread"

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has recorded a special Christmas video message for a charity for bereaved military children dressed as Spider-Man.

Donning a full Spider-Man suit, the prince recorded the message for the charity Scotty's Little Soldiers, wishing them a happy Christmas.

"But in a heartfelt message to the children, the prince said: 'At the same time, Christmas is a time we will miss our loved ones really, really badly. And that's okay.

'But at the same time, it can be possible to feel guilty for having fun without our parents. But I am here to assure you that our parents always want us to have fun, okay.

'So don't feel guilty - you're allowed to have the best time ever, especially with this Scotty's Little Soldiers community."

This is cringe worthy, Harry's made a fool of himself and you can tell this video is not professional, it's homemade. Just like the Santa video. In addition, Harry's hypocrisy. Talking about missing our loved ones and "our parents" after ripping his own family apart with lies and insinuations, oh, don't forget the exploitation...again of Diana. I'm so incensed by Harry, I'd kick him hard in the rear end.."really, really badly." (Rolling my eyes at the phrase)

Charles Will Close The Door On Harry If Book Criticizes Camilla

Posted by karenl on December 3, 2022, 3:09 pm, in reply to "Re: Harry dressed up as Spider-Man suit to deliver a Christmas message"

We all have read this, but I think Charles should act if Catherine is skewered or....really, any of the Royal Family. I get Camilla, but Charles shouldn't make her the exception for action towards Harry and Meghan.

Posted by Susan T on December 3, 2022, 3:37 pm, in reply to "Charles Will Close The Door On Harry If Book Criticizes Camilla"

The book is Harry's project, so it's more likely Camilla will be the one skewered. And since Charles is a narcissist and Camilla is his intimate partner primary source, to Charles, she is an extension of himself.

It's never been reported that Charles would write Harry off if he targeted William or Catherine. They always have been the ones told to suck it up and just deal with it. Don't see Charles changing his attitude.

Now the Netflix series, that's Harry's wife show. And Catherine is the nemesis, so you know she's the one who'll bear the brunt of the Sussex wrath.

This could be where William tells his father to take a hike, when yet again, he and Catherine are asked to make sacrifices to appease Harry.

I'm wondering just who the family members are that have been interviewed for the documentary. Doria is a given, but maybe also Eugenie and Jack? If so, the Yorks will have to make other arrangements for Christmas because Sandringham's doors will be slammed shut in their faces. And Eugenie could find herself downgraded to Lady Eugenie Brooksbank

Posted by karenl on December 3, 2022, 4:17 pm, in reply to "Re: Charles Will Close The Door On Harry If Book Criticizes Camilla"

No, there never has been anything about writing off Harry if William and Catherine are targeted. William certainly isn't going to appease the Sussexes with Catherine being targeted and I can see him telling his father to go jump if Charles wants to William to bend to Harry.
I agree with you that the only family members interviewed for the film that I can think of are Jack and Eugenie, she not a family per say, but Fergie, maybe? Well, an ex-family member still with her ex-husband, I guess.
Yep, if it is Jack and Eugenie, the door to Sandringham will be closed for Christmas holidays.

There's been no reports of Fergie visiting California, only Jack and Eugenie. And I doubt that anybody sat down to be interviewed when Harry and wife came over for the Jubilee and the funeral.

That's true, Fergie was the only other family I could think of. I'm not convinced that Beatrice would sit down to be interviewed for the film. I've always thought she and Harry weren't as close.
At the Platinum Jubilee Eugenie and Jack were chummy with the Sussexes especially at the Thanksgiving Service, even Beatrice was laughing at something Harry said. By the week of the Queen's death and funeral, things weren't so chummy with between the Harkles and Eugenie/Jack, at least what I viewed of them in public. It's interesting if you notice Edo hasn't interacted much with Harry even at the Jubilee, when they were laughing before the church service, Edo didn't join in.
Whoever was interviewed will probably regret getting involved.

Palace aides express mounting frustration

Posted by Susan T on December 3, 2022, 6:00 pm, in reply to "December 3 - Sussex Thread"

The King and Queen Consort are 'wearied' by the constant attacks from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Buckingham Palace sources last night said there is mounting frustration and exhaustion at the barrage of complaints that Harry and Meghan relentlessly and publicly make about their treatment by the rest of the Royal Family.

Palace aides need to stop providing fuel for Harry's wife.

The general public is weary and fatigued by all the complaints. We don't need palace sources to tell us that those on the receiving end of those complaints are even more exasperated and exhausted than we are.

But it is interesting to note that the latest group of insiders now claim that William and Catherine were 'surprised but not that surprised' when the Netflix trailer was released during their visit to the US.

I agree, the public is fatigued by it all, but they could start getting angry, in fact some commenting have started, because nothing is being done in regards to the Sussexes actions by the Palace/Govt. The public is getting tired of all talk, talk, talk of Palace aides and the Royals being furious at the Sussexes, but that's all that happens.
These sort of stories and info given by the Palace aides need to stop and the Palace remain silent over whatever "feelings" are going on.

I believe some stories supposedly from royal sources are planted by the opponents. Other media simply repeat those without any research.
It is quite difficult to know what might be genuine information from reliable royal sources.

You have a good point, Nellie. We really don't know if sources quoted as coming from the Palace are true/accurate. For all the stories about Sussexes, the King, William, Camilla every day of the week, I would wonder how Palace aides/staff are able to carry out their normal work.
I believe many stories are also made up or if the reporters can't or won't do research they add their own fillers to the story. Go back to Charlotte and the Duke of Edinburgh title, I fully believe that story was total fiction and made up by the reporter.

Harry And Meghan Will Go To War With The Public As Well As The Royals And The Media

Posted by karenl on December 4, 2022, 1:02 am, in reply to "Re: Palace aides express mounting frustration"

"Meghan and Harry's upcoming Netflix documentary may criticise the Royal family and even the public over the way the couple feel they have been treated.

The series is reportedly due for release on Thursday and royal sources have already claimed they expect the show would be 'Oprah with more crying.'

But a hint of what viewers may get to experience also emerged this morning in details of a conversation Harry had with a friend before the sit-down with the chat show Queen.
Senior sources told the Sun he had expected the Royal Family to find the interview 'quite shocking', and that 'those Brits need to learn a lesson.'"

If this is true, I want Harry and Meghan to come back to the UK for the Coronation and face the public. There won't be the respectful silence as with the Queen's Lying in State and the State Funeral from the public.

Kind compares to rats leaving the sinking ship. They hired all these top notch people and can't keep them...what does that tell you?
So Harry and Meghan have already taken on the all the PR work after Sunshine Sachs left and now they're taking full lead of Archewell. I'm stocking up on popcorn, Coke and Margaritas (not necessarily in that order) to watch the implosion.

William And Harry Honor Henry van Straubenzee

Posted by karenl on December 4, 2022, 12:53 am, in reply to "Re: Mandana Dayani stepped down as president of Archewell this weekend"

"Prince William and Prince Harry wrote a letter which was read at the annual carol service dedicated to their friend Henry van Straubenzee, who died in 2002 in a car crash when he was 18 years old. Around his death, Henry was set to travel to Uganda for his gap year to teach at a local school, so his parents set up a memorial fund to support schools and help improve buildings to ensure children have proper classrooms to learn in."

I didn't know where to put this article, if the Adm.'s want to move it, it's fine by me.
