His flirty messages and ‘movie snuggles’ with reporter

Posted by Susan T on April 2, 2026, 8:55 am, in reply to "April 2 - them"

The Duke of Sussex sent a stream of personal Facebook messages to a journalist, joking about drinking her under the table and “movie snuggles”.

In conversations between December 2011 and January 2012, Prince Harry referred to Charlotte Griffiths, a Mail on Sunday reporter, as “sugar” and signed off with the word “mwah” and strings of kisses.

The messages were disclosed to the High Court as part of the Duke’s privacy claim against Associated Newspapers Limited, publisher of the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday. They suggested the pair were on closer terms than the Duke had indicated.

I'm confused. Who is using the FB "conversations" as evidence? The newspaper? Harry was 27, yet talking like a teenaged girl. Yuck.

The newspaper, as a rebuttal to Harry's testimony under oath that he did not have friendships with any of the newspapers' journalists.

So maybe Harry was the leaker via pillow talk?

You know, even in 2011/2012 you could always do a Google search on someone.What is more interesting is that, surely some people in the group they were hanging with knew she was in journalism, maybe not, but that's hard to believe. Maybe someone told Harry and he was too drunk to remember or didn't care because she was attractive to him and worries flew out the window.
It's remarkable that Ms.Griffiths kept her get togethers and Facebook chats quiet all this time.
Harry's legal team kind of dropped the ball. They should have pulled up all his Facebook info. for those years as a precaution so nothing would emerge as a surprise. Harry lied and was caught yet again.

Her influencer scam

Posted by Hollie24 on April 2, 2026, 1:14 pm, in reply to "April 2 - them"

Her team apparently entered into contracts with various high end companies to promote their brands on social media, etc. She took the money but failed to deliver--surprise--and now, apparently, some of the companies have gotten together to sue her. Well, we all know she merches, snd we all also know she's lazy and doesn't honor her word.

The children had a change of clothing during their Eastwr egg hunt, and look at Lili's hair. And why is she barefoot and in sleeveless clothes while Archie is wearing shoes, dark jeans, and a jacket? Lili gets all the toys and Archie gets nada?

Yet another bizarre home video from Her

Yep, Lili's hair magically grew from shoulder length to mid-back in a few photos. Yes, why is Lili always barefoot? If you notice Archie's hair is brown and straight, not auburn with curls as in the photo with infant Lili. Lili still appears to be almost as tall as Archie.

A good Tudorial

Posted by Hollie24 on April 6, 2026, 4:05 pm, in reply to "Meghan shares a video of the children egg hunting"

HG points out that Lili acts abnormally in the Easter videos. Lilo isn't running around or talking to her mother or goofing around like normal kids. Instead, Lili just walks straight, with head down, while being filmed from behind.

I find this video disturbing. It shows a little girl who is isolated and disconnected, even from her narcissist mother. How She can think this is normal or cute or whatever is just beyond me.

Drumming Up Business For SoHo House?

Posted by karenl on April 8, 2026, 9:58 pm, in reply to "A good Tudorial"

"With Meghan Markle's Australian visit just around the corner, rumours are swirling about the real reason for the trip.

The Duchess of Sussex is set to be the headline guest at the inaugural Her Best Life Retreat, organised by the events company Besties, founded by former radio queen Jackie 'O' Henderson and her manager Gemma O'Neill.

However, some are claiming that the 'ultimate girls weekend' is secondary to the real reason for her Australia visit – drumming up business for Soho House."
"....While there is no official opening date for the five-level venue in Darlinghurst, some internet commenters have raised eyebrows at the timing of Meghan's visit.

One commenter took to Reddit to point out that aside from organising the retreat, O'Neill is also involved in the Soho House Sydney project.

'O'Neill isn't just some random podcast host fangirling over Harry's SoHo rental. She's on the Soho House Sydney advisory committee, which means this Girls Weekend retreat is Soho House business disguised as women's empowerment,' they wrote.

'Markus arranging it from Madame's house isn't friendship. This seems to be his job. He is the Soho House consultant, and he is coordinating promotion for their Sydney opening.'

Another added that while the Sydney venue was unlikely to be ready in time for Meghan's visit, it was a perfect opportunity to promote the swanky venue.

'It doesn't look like it will be open when they are there. I think it's either that a part of it is ready (but that's not usually how they roll), or they are doing early recruiting and promoting to recover some cost,' another Redditor wrote.

A third suggested that the Her Best Life Retreat could be used as a 'recruitment' tool for Soho House."

"........The April 17 to 19 event is anticipated to bring in nearly $1 million in ticket revenue.

While organisers are claiming the pricey event has already sold out, beneath the surface, cracks are showing.
Entrepreneur Gemma O'Neill, who is organising the retreat via her company Besties, has a chequered history with large-scale events.

In 2023, Besties was set to host a sold-out luxury summit at Kokomo Private Island in Fiji, boasting a celebrity speaker line-up including comedian Celeste Barber and fashion designer Pip Edwards.

Tickets for that event started at $9,000 for a shared room and $18,000 for a solo booking, with guests expected to arrange their own travel to the island.

However, the retreat was cancelled weeks before it was due to take place, leaving many disappointed."

Major grift and scam.

In addition, look at how Lili is walking, it's the stomp walk of a child who's angry. She does have her head down and at one point, she turns her head to the right just enough that she can see Meghan following her. Then she pulls both her arms close to her in the jerk motion. Lili may be 4, but she's furious with Meghan and at being ordered to parade around.
As Archie and Lili get older, both are going to rebel big time against their parents and it won't be pretty.

Harry's Australian Event

Posted by karenl on April 9, 2026, 7:46 pm, in reply to "Re: A good Tudorial"

"Would you believe it? There is apparently a limit to how much money people will pay to be lectured on the ins and outs of “workplace wellness” by a man who hasn’t held a 9-to-5 job in his entire life. Who’d have thought?

We’ve just heard that in a desperate attempt to sell tickets to Prince Harry’s upcoming keynote speech in Melbourne, organisers at the InterEdge Summit have been forced to slash the most basic entry-level prices from an eyewatering $1,978 to $997.

While the Duke is set to speak about workplace mental health – a noble and worthy cause – a world where, just six years on from his bombshell decision to leave the Royal Family, he is already seeing ticket prices for his event drop by 50% must be galling."

I wouldn't pay 99 cents to listen to an unqualified non-professional idiot expound on mental health.

An aside
"Meghan, too, is hosting an event of her own during their time Down Under and has been dogged by scandal after scandal. Not least of all, the fact that one of her handpicked guests turns out to be one of the most active members of the ‘Sussex Squad’, who disgustingly branded the Princess of Wales’ life-changing cancer diagnosis “fake”."

This Australian thing has disaster written all over it. Which organization is paying for their air travel, I wonder? I assume these grifters have demanded a private jet, which is off.the chart insanity. Even first class on a commercial flight is crazy expensive right now. These lazy grifters aren't worth a farthing.

Sentabale is suing Harry

Posted by Martha on April 10, 2026, 2:26 pm, in reply to "April 2 - them"

Prince Harry is being sued by the charity he founded in honour of his late mother, Princess Diana, following a high-profile dispute with its chairwoman.

Sentebale, which helps young people with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana, has launched a High Court lawsuit for libel and slander against the Duke of Sussex and his friend and former royal equerry Mark Dyer.

It comes after Harry dramatically quit the charity's board last year following a bitter public feud with chairwoman Sophie Chandauka, whose leadership he described as 'untenable'.

Sentebale, which means 'forget-me-not' in the language of Lesotho, southern Africa, was co-founded by the prince in 2006. It has faced a funding crisis since his departure a year ago.

The row with Ms Chandauka began in 2024 when the Sentebale board challenged her over a £400,000 bill for consultants they said had brought little return.

She was asked to step down but instead complained to the Charity Commission, alleging bullying, misogyny and racism.

She accused the the duke of trying to "eject" her through "bullying" and "harassment", which he denies.

After a probe, it found no evidence of bullying, but said there had been weak governance and criticised all parties for allowing an internal dispute to become public.

In March 2025, the trustees resigned en masse, blaming Ms Chandauka's 'almost dictatorial' leadership. Harry and his co-founder, Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, resigned as patrons, calling the situation "untenable".

The 41-year-old prince later called the breakdown in the relationship with Ms Chandauka 'devastating' and criticised her leadership, saying the consequences 'will not be borne by her, but by the children who rely on Sentebale’s support'.

Public court records gave no details about the allegations in the lawsuit against Harry and Mr Dyer, who was ‌also a trustee of the charity.

The charity recently slashed staff in the UK and Botswana in a bid to save £1 million.

In August last year, four of the five employees based in the organisation’s London office were made redundant, including its global head of finance and compliance.

Sources claim one in five staff in Botswana were also laid off, including the country director Ketlogetswe Montshiwa, and staff said they feared there was a 'significant cash flow problem'.

Published accounts show Sentebale ran through almost all its reserves as the row deepened in 2024. Monthly income fell by a quarter and the amount of cash in the bank fell from 1.5 million to £207,000 by December 2024.

It's going to get very ugly for these two when they hit Australian soil. Ridiculous, these are "private" events that they're attending/participating in, not public. They knew they were going to get the taxpayer security, but I'm sure they hope it wouldn't get out. As usual, they were wrong.

Apparently Carey Mulligan was supposed to be the only guest in a bright gown as she is the star of the show. All the others were to dress in black, white, or other dark muted colors. TOW has to have known that, but she showed up in a dress that is almost the same shade as the star wore. There is a Tudorial about it.
