This is so random but I need to tell someone lol A couple of years ago William and Harry were waiting for Charles. When he arrived Charles kissed Harry first. The Harry sugars went crazy saying Charles is closest to Harry and likes him better because protocol said William is said hello to first, In hindsight Charles must have been very aware of Harry’s William insecurities and was trying to soothe his second son. does any of what I just said make sense lol. I’m a recovering Harry sugar

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Harry is the loose cannon. William isn’t.

Royals don‘t care what the public thinks, they think they can bury it with a few hugs and staged pics, more reasons for a republic

anonymoushouseplantfan:

THIS.

I don’t think the royal family thinks they have much of a choice at this point. There are plenty of people world-wide–particularly in the US–that see nothing wrong with all of H&M’s famewhoring. If they put a stop to the wedding, then they know that they would get more flack from the public about stopping the wedding. It’s only those royal watchers who pay close attention to detail and aren’t stanning Harry & Megs that think this shit show needs to be stopped.

I can’t rationalize how Charles is fit to lead the UK as King when he can’t even control his own son. Harry wants to go his own way that fine, but get off the family teet. He has $50M, how much more does he need? Wondering if this is Charles’ ego want HIS son to stay in the fold, but he has been too weak/self absorbed to guide him or rein him in.

I hope more courtiers speak out because I want to know wtf was going on behind the scenes. This has been a train wreck since the first spooning bananas post. It’s just that the press kept hanging them out rope so they could properly hang themselves.

Nah. Charles as a father knows that Harry will only learn from his own mistakes. PC already allegedly tried to talk him out of marrying her before the engagement announcement, and it didn’t work. What else can he do? Harry is a 30+ year old ADULT!

Yeah, I think Charles did the best he could. I think that what most people aren’t thinking about right now is that Charles will punish Harry terribly with removal of title and privileges if this dumbass behavior of his continues or gets worse. 

That won’t go down well if Charles cut Harry off that will be a PR nightmare .he needs him Charles ,Camilla ,William and Kate can’t do it all. What needs to happen when HM dies get rid of the BRF and that’s the plan some of the CW countries are talking about ,but it won’t people talk talk talk about getting rid of the them but in the next 30 years it will be George, Charlotte ,Louise and Duke and Duchess of Soho kids in the spotlight

Harry is a PR nightmare right now, and due to the fact that he’ll only listen to Megs is just furthering the case that Harry will be sidelined, quite possibly permanently. Harry will be destined to lose his privileges and rank if he keeps this up. Megs is NOT going to be popular. She’s only as popular as Charles is right now and this is before her wedding. This is still BEFORE her sex tape has been released. Once the sex tape is released, people are going to have a hard time having sympathy for Harry and Megs. He might retain some sympathy due to his constant victimhood, but no one is going to feel sorry for her. She’s going to become reviled pretty quickly, and Fleet Street will revel in publishing everything and anything about ALL of her mistakes. 

Tick tock Megs. Tick fucking tock.

There is diffently a rift between Harry and the rest of his family they only chose George and Charlotte. Meghan is snubbing family members that have snub her. Meghan is dividing the family this puts Will and Kate in ackward postion. I blame PC for this to he wants to slim line the family. The future looks really bad for the royals. I’ve lost all hope for the future of the monarchy if this is what it’s going to look like.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Yep.

Harry will probably be eliminated in Charles’ plan to slim down the monarchy based on how this week before the wedding is happening. I bet he’s going to cut Harry off from Charles’ money sooner than we think.

But the thing is Meghan is dividing Harry’s family she’s doing exactly the same as she did to her own family. By the time Meghan is done he won’t have a family left. She just gets rid of people. Charles and William will be the only ones. She destroyed her own family now she’s going to do it with his. Not even Diana did that.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Yep.

I wonder if Charles & William will ever forgive Harry for this disaster. The way it’s going down I can certainly see Charles as not willing to forgive. And he’s the one who has the money. Dum-dum Megs is too stupid pissing off the one with all the money.

I really don’t like those Camilla/M comparisons. What C&C has span DECADES. 2-3 times longer than the average UK marriage. (Google) . PH/M’s whateverthefuckitis spans months, with most of it long distance. I’m not romantic, so all that “Fairy-tale” nonsense doesn’t impress me at all. PC waited, absorbing all the negativity and hatred that went/goes with it, and was FINALLY able to marry the woman he truly wanted. I’m happy for him.

motherofbulldogs:

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I understand this, but he did a TON of harm to the institution. Camilla is still wildly unpopular after a massive pr drive. Ditto Charles,

And Charles’ “I love her and that’s that” intransigence is why we are here today. Because if the future king isn’t willing to put the crown’s interest above all else, why should the 6th in line to the throne do so?

Yes, it’s a love story but so was Paris and Helen and look how that ended for Troy.

Wrong. The damage was done by Diana. Intentionally inflicted. She’s the one that wanted private affairs made public for her own sympathy and vengeance against her husband. Had she never made it public and kept up a good public image, they likely would have carried on being married yet happily in their own lives. And Camilla would never have divorced Andrew Parker-Bowles.

Can we also mention–just to be fair–that Diana did a lot of damage to the institution? And that maybe–just maybe–holding people to unrealistic marriage standards based on a religious denomination that originated with Henry VIII as its head is completely hypocritical?

People always say Charles is the last person who should tell Harry he cant marry who he wants or give marriage advice HOWEVER Charles is probably one of the people Harry SHOULD listen to as Papa is trying to help Harry avoid the shit he & his momma went through.

Yup! Charles understands way more than most people give him credit for. His problem is that he has a son that is still acting like a teenage boy who thinks he can do anything and get away with it.

I don’t follow why you write that the PoW is capable of doing anything to secure his ascention to the throne. Are you implying that having H marry M ensures that? If he was trying to get the people of color support, and using his son to do that, then he would get a respectable woman of color, not a ho. She and her family are gross.

nycrealroyal:

No. The opposite. Harry should be careful if he wants to keep his title and privilege.

So, basically Daddy is getting tired of picking up after Harry’s messes. Sounds about right given that the boy is in his 30s.

Charles’s , just like the Queen, number one job will be, other than working with his wonderful charities, securing the Crown. I recently watched a documentary where this has been the Queen’s number one job. She must make sure that it is secured for future generations. She has done her job. I’m sure Charles will be of the same frame of mind. He will NOT let this woman destroy everything his family has worked to achieve. They will not be welcoming her into the family like she thinks they will.

nycrealroyal:

.

If she was escorted to the airport in 2016, which I would imagine means there was a huge issue, then : 1. How did she manage to weasel her way back in? 2. Did she really get caught taking pictures in a restricted area of KP? 3. There was a DM commentator who (can’t remember but he/she used initials and seemed like an insider) spilled the pics in restricted places info.

nycrealroyal:

If she was escorted to the airport in 2016, which I would imagine means there was a huge issue, then –> It was huge! Harry caught her taking pics at KP in private areas. Their fight was loud. PoW went there and told her to pack because she was leaving in one way or another. Harry said that he could handle her, PoW and Harry argued loud. Shit got ugly. I posted about this. Harry is a moron! 🤬 He called her and went to Toronto, before Jamaica. Yes. He/She read on here! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 😘

I don’t think the BRF cares about what some people think of Meghan. Majority are indifferent. Camilla was far more disliked than Meghan and they’ve stuck with her and Charles. Charles and Camilla are still disliked and they will be the future King and Queen consort. Public opinion changes and the Queen has weathered it all.

Charles and Camilla took their time getting married. They didn’t rush. They gave the British public more than five years to get used to seeing them together before they got married. 

Megs ain’t going to be Queen, so her low public approval scores now are as high as they’re ever going to get.

Theory: The wedding will be cancelled. But not due to prince philips health, because of lack of preparation. This Pinterest do it yourself wedding is going to be missing one main elements , and they would eventually postpone it. I’m thinking the main element is lack of guests or catering or something else.

Nah. If it was going to be cancelled due to lack of preparation it would already have been rescheduled at this point. The royal family has known since January that this is going to be a shit show. That’s why Charles wanted it known early on that he and his staff had nothing to do with the planning.

Honestly that anon had a good point about ensuring the stability of a family. Consider how awful charles’ and diana’s relationship was, and that charles is pretty odd himself, even by upper class/royal standards, most likely because he had a messed upbringing. The fact that Will grew up in that and turned out pretty normal and well adjusted is pretty much a semi miracle. Harry, well, we’ve seen his antics now and over the years. He turned out less so.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Oh, yes, very good point.

I admire the queen as the queen; but when it comes to management, it might be a good thing PC takes over. His Duchy Originals make a ton of money, and while he may be self-indulgent spending on himself, I think he has the right idea about the monarchy overall. QE kept throwing honors and titles at Andrew – the biggest enabler ever – and she’s en route to doing the same w/Harry. PC might be smarter.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I dunno. I’m torn with PC now that they are reorganizing everything into an umbrella.

Yup. The Queen failed miserably with Andrew.

(1) Now that PC is Head of the CW, he’s in charge of where PH/M goes and does, right? So much for the Princess Di fantasy. I see a lot of boring, tedious work. After all, that’s how one changes the world. (2) When PH/M marry, PW/DofC become their bosses, right? In terms of gender roles, PW is PH’s boss and DofC is M’s boss, right? I remember reading something like this. Was it incorrect?

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I think they are a bit more independent than that.

But supposedly PC moved in to seize control of things a few months ago with a huge purge of HM’s aides.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4889462/Queen-s-aide-ousted-power-struggle.html

I think PC has been the boss since last summer.

I get why some people may not like Diana’s rings because it was from a catalogue and everything, but a Harry designed Meghan’s ring from Scratch and I would’ve guessed that thing came straight out of 5$ section at your local Claire’s shop, whereas Diana’s looks unique.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I find the “it’s from a catalogue” critiques so funny. When Di and Charles got engaged that was considered a good thing. There were tons of romantic stories about how he took her to Garrard’s and they took out all of these trays with rings on them, so she could make her choice and she picked the one she liked the best. After that, every cheesy eighties rom com had a scene with the boyfriend taking the girlfriend to a store to pick rings from trays.

It was a big part of the Di legend because it showed how she was a regular, unpretentious girl and how this was a new modern couple.

It wouldn’t be too surprising if Charles was a groper. Kelsey Grammar said Camilla squeezed his butt at a White House Event. In their set, because of their status, C&C are probably used to taking liberties, it only surprises the celebs who aren’t used to the aristo set.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

It would surprise me, and I think the blind refers to the Saudi Crown Prince and not him.

I think if Charles engaged in that kind of behavior, then we probably would have already heard it by now. It would give plenty of people another reason to hate him, which would have already made it to press by now if he did it on a regular basis.

Patricia Treble’s analysis of the Royals engagements.  HM is actually 24% above last year.  And she has comment about Harry’s leisurely work schedule.  Thinks he wil drop out of the top 10 royals by April at this rate.  Not good when your pregnant sister in law beats you.  Will has almost doubled his numbers.  PC as always with Anne are the workhorses of the RF along with HM.

Thanks! That is very interesting. Here are Harry’s numbers from that blog post.

And he’s only that high because he is counting his lunches and African vacays in that total.

Sophie and Edward are doing great as well. I’m glad to see that. I just hope Kate keeps her work schedule up after the baby is born.
