Do we recall that meeting in July 2025 (not even one year ago) in London between Tobyn Andreae & Meredith Maines & Liam Maguire? To which Tobyn came bearing a gift of a bottle of wine as the pap was able to photograph? And met over drinks on the terrace of the Royal Over-Seas League, a private members' club just a short walk from Clarence House until it was discovered they were being papped & subsequently moved indoors. It was reported that this meeting was at the behest of Harry but it would never have taken place without the authorization of King Charles. It was lauded by royal insiders as a "good first step," the meeting was a soft re-opening of a channel of communication between the households. Oh the glad hearts abounded, certain MSM rejoiced as did some journalists - the great rift was going to be repaired they said.

Shortly after that July 9th meeting on July 27, 2025 it emerged that Buckingham Palace would be given sight of Harry & Meghan Markle's schedule to prevent diary clashes, which had already been the case in several instances. Royal insiders at the Palace described the calendar-sharing as a "significant milestone" that signaled a shift toward collaboration from Harry & the wife, rather than competition.

Fast foward to today, while keeping in mind that certain unidentified Palace insiders (but that it is felt are operating under the tacit approval of the King) are reported to be pushing Project Thaw which would see a softening attitude & eventual partial return of Harry to Britain & some Royal & family events. Couple this with the obvious efforts of Harry & Meghan recently to upstage any event that the core Royal family members undertake. It seems to be the cynical parody of lacking any other inspiration, the dullards ape their betters — however it’s more than that — it’s an attack, not even cloaked well. In fact it has gotten to be a betting game on the part of observers & probably the press too - what silly action will the Sussexes take to overshadow the King's apearance at York hospital, or Charles & Camilla's trip to N Ireland? What will Harry & Meghan do to try & overshadow Trooping of the Colour? The betting action is heavy on Polymarket & similar markets.

We ask - when will the King & Palace ever learn? Why does the Father & his most important aides continue to tolerate the antics of Charles' stupid, rebellious & inglorious son? Charles is the creator of this situation but seemingly lacks the backbone to deal with it & leaves it to his aides & insiders to bemoan the consequences of it. There is no sympathy on the part of the public for the King nor any BP comms aides in this situation & outright hostility towards the King or whatever staff of the King's are pushing reconciliation with his underachieving second son.

Yes. They duped Charles.

How many times does Charles need to be duped before he wises up?

This has been obvious for some time.

Removal of Sussex titles would solve the problem, regardless of whether they keep posting and scheduling during royal engagements. Public interest now lies in watching them, as Royals, thumb their nose at the BRF. Charles needs to man up.

Remove the titles, the line of succession, and the Royal Councillor position. Remove Harry from Invictus. Make them and the invisikids totally private citizens. You wanted freedom, you got it. Settle a final amount on them and make H$M go away.

and removing them from the royal website...

Removal of media interest in the UK would work, it's already very low key over here in the US except for the US version of tabloids: People, InStyle, Marie Claire. And even that is way more skewed toward Markle news than anything about Harry except when he linked to his wife. Or if Charles comes calling and even then it's treated as somewhat of a joke. And she hardly makes a drop in the water except for the aforementioned paid PR.

Example: I read somewhere on SM, perhaps Substack, perhaps X, that Harry did a speech for Africa Parks. Think it was somewhere in the US. Not believing that even he could be that thick after all the Parks' scandals, I tried Googling what the venue was. And could not find it under Google search or even under Yahoo. The only Harry news that turned up under the regular US search engines was months old. So, I guess he did a speech but it didn't get any traction in the US. Also he apparently did a shout out to British Iraq vets which prompted Phil Dampier to clutch his pearls and criticize the RF for not doing a shout out too. I saw that news byte on (for my sins) a GB News bit on someone else's Substack repost. But nowhere else (well maybe the DM but I hardly read that now). But in the US? Nada, nothing.

They are nothing in the US so that is why Harry is trying for UK relevance. Madame Markle is trying for goodness-knows-what. Matches to light a candle? I guess she's never heard of disposable lighters....

Someone among the 'men in gray suits' wants to promote an alternate court in Montecito. That needs to be canceled, just like the Netflix show. Just as ruthlessly.

I agree, Donna. There most definitely appears to be at least one, but probably several snakes in the grass amongst the men in gray. A rival court must not be tolerated. It does nothing but play into the hands of the republican movement and their efforts to destroy the monarchy.

Donna Cusano's avatar

And the 'republican' movement is in the Greens, who are deep into the Scottish and Welsh parliaments. God Help the UK if they get the upper hand.

Jeanie Jenks's avatar

Agree 100%, Theo Rycroft, Tobyn Andreae & their ilk need to be canceled! As does Yvette Cooper & her aides & cronies & most likely Shabana Mahmood.

I read some news about Invictus where--shock--Harry was NOT mentioned! Events that are occurring as the Invictus light or whatever it is moves from Canada to Birmingham. No quotes from Harry, no shots of MM in a shorts outfit or rowing a Viking long boat across the Atlantic.

I think someone on the King's staff needs to be removed...quickly, thaw or no thaw...

This has been the case for years. This is not a new or recent development. It may have escalated, to the point that now someone is commenting, but many royal observers can point to a myriad of examples where this has happened time and again. Yes I’d argue it’s been more to attempt to upstage William & Catherine but they have expanded to include C&C too.

JH's avatar

It's frankly embarrassing that this possibility appears to be just beginning to occur to Charles.

Valerie's avatar

It's got to a laughable stage if she's resorted to posting photos of scones with cream and jam.

Thought Charles team and Harry team had agreed to swap calendars as to avoid the clashing for years Sussexes have mostly clashed with W&C calendars not nearly as much with C&C. In everything H&M are the angriest with Waleses so attacks against them are almost more vicious and direct.

They did. It was just a ruse by the Sussexes to more easily step on the Royal calendar.
