I adored Diana. She was my namesake. But in the fullness of time, I've come to see her more objectively. She was complex and flawed, just like the rest of us.
Only two people know whether King Charles said these words to Earl Spencer before her funeral:
“He unleashed down the phone what I have always taken to be his pent-up contempt for Diana, and his horror that the world was so bowled over by her death”. “Rest assured,’ he hissed, ‘we’ll forget her soon enough’.”
This is a serious claim and Earl Spencer knew how it would be received. Interestingly, before Swan Song: Diana, My sister was published, he said, “I want to speak on Diana’s behalf and do so in an openly positive way.”
Buckingham Palace has taken the rare step of issuing a prompt but obtuse rebuttal. “While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss.”
There's no doubt Charles and Diana were ill-suited and had a tempestuous marriage. But despite all of that, Charles looked absolutely devastated when he arrived in Paris to identify Diana's body, and remains - for better or for worse - the father of her children.
Diana has been gone for 29 years now and she still can't rest in peace.
The suss exes are now engaged in child abuse
They 'moved' to the UK, squatted in someone's house and chose a school for their kids. Then the Presidential-level motorcade they organised to take their kids to school took more than five minutes and hit traffic snarls, like the school drop-off known the world over as a traffic snafu. So they pulled the kids out of a school they already 'loved' after TWO DAYS.
They're using their kids as security pawns for their Ravec demands. If they love the school that much, why not buy a house nearby? It's supposedly a wealthy area with estates dotted about. Buy a place close to the bloody school you chose!
But that doesn't fit their narrative. They'd rather rip their kids out and make sure the whole world knows. It's essentially child abuse.
These two believe themselves to be as important as the King and Queen and want the same level of security. Their self-importance is now insufferable. But no one actually cares about them, their kids, their house, their kids' school or their goddam security.
Tedium ad nauseum.
Dear Annabel Denham,
We’ll give Harry and Meghan a break when they give us one.
They’re the most entitled, insufferable, self-absorbed couple on the planet.
And they deserve the karma that’s now finally coming their way. 🌪️
Harry and Meghan might be ridiculous, but they’re not wicked, writes Annabel Denham.
The monarchy has survived difficult princes, family feuds, abdications and unhappy marriages. So why are we so exercised by the Sussexes?

This is pure gold!
Harry’s blamed Uganda’s decision to pull out of the Invictus Games on his father’s letter that described the suss exes as “private citizens”.
Uganda claimed the Games didn’t have the King’s “approval”.
The extraordinary move was announced by General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the country’s military chief and son of the Ugandan president, who blamed the “Harry and Meghan nonsense”.
Haha, Invictus has been Markled (as if it hadn’t already)!
The suss exes are having a dummy spit because they were only given an hour's warning before "Dad's letter" went out.
Two can play at this game. The serial leakers finally got a taste of their own medicine and spat it out (along with the dummy)!

On the fourth anniversary of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, here is the chronology of events that occured around the time of her death.
Rest in peace, Ma'am. We all miss you very much.
🧵
Oh FFS, how long are we going to be subjected to this drivel emanating from the suss exes about their security issues? Pay for it yourselves, you grifting freeloaders!
This today from The Telegraph, London ⬇️
"The duke and duchess of Sussex’s biggest security concern on returning to the United Kingdom is the school run, London’s Telegraph understands.
The couple’s children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, will start at their new British prep school next week.
However, the family is still waiting for answers from the Home Office about whether they will receive any form of taxpayer-funded police protection in the longer term.
Prince Harry was told in July that the risk assessment for which he had long fought had finally been conducted. Since then, he has sent multiple letters to the royal and VIP executive committee (Ravec) and the Home Secretary, pleading for answers about its findings. He continues to believe that he is being denied protection as a form of “punishment” for quitting royal duties and that the delay in responding to his change in circumstances is a form of “game play”.
The daily school run presents specific challenges because of the repetitive nature of shuttling to and from the same place every day at the same time.
“It is absolutely the biggest area of concern,” one friend said. “It creates the most dangers.”
Meghan once suggested that she would never be able to do the school run in the UK without it turning into a media frenzy.
While that is unlikely to be the case, the couple remain concerned about unregulated paparazzi, international media outlets and images circulated on social media as well as the threat from “lone wolf” actors intent on harm.
Prince William and Princess Catherine’s three children are thought to benefit from discreet protection from armed officers while they are at school. However, they have been left alone to enjoy school life in privacy, like any other pupil.
Despite relocating to the UK with their nanny, Harry and Meghan intend to continue to do the school run themselves as often as possible, just as they did in Montecito.
The couple do not plan to publicly disclose the name of their chosen school, although they are aware that as soon as the children return – and letters will be sent to parents – it will become widely known.
Various policies and procedures have been put in place, with teachers given special training.
Scott Hamer, who worked in the Metropolitan Police’s royalty and specialist protection unit for 14 years until 2022, said the school run would always prove a headache.
“The whole point of protection is to keep the diary as tight as possible, to ensure people who might want to do bad things do not have the opportunity to do so,” he said.
“With the school run, you can vary the route as much as you like, but the start and end point will almost always be the same. It’s really, really difficult.”
Hamer, who worked for five years as a personal protection officer to King Charles, the then-prince of Wales, said everybody who might be at risk should have the right to a fair assessment.
“Personally, I don’t think Prince Harry has had one,” he added. If there is a credible threat to him and his family, it should be objectively assessed. If there is a genuine risk, the state should provide protection. If not, then fine, but let him know.”
Hamer added: “It doesn’t matter whether he’s a working or non-working royal. The late Queen Mother got protection after she retired, as did Princess Margaret, as does every ex-prime minister.
“The risk does not just vanish.”
As private citizens who will play no role in public life, Archie and Lilibet will be spared the press call that Prince George, 13, will face on Tuesday (London time) when he starts at Eton.
But that does not negate the fact that they remain the King’s grandchildren, Harry has long argued, nor the multitude of threats posed by others.
The threat assessment conducted by the risk management board (RMB) is considered a crucial part of Ravec’s approach. While it is not bound by its recommendations, they tend to provide the basis for its decisions.
Among the documents it considered was a 40-page risk assessment compiled by Harry’s private security company at the request of the Home Office, which found that the duke faced an “elevated risk” in the UK, where five of the six known home-grown terror plots against him originated.
The report, seen by the Telegraph, revealed that in May 2023, the Sussexes’ security team in Montecito confronted a man armed with a hammer and duct tape who intended to break into the family home.
The Sussexes do not know whether the risk analysis that finally took place in July included Meghan and the children.
Just days after being told the assessment had been completed, Harry wrote to the chairman of Ravec with a series of questions about the board’s methods and its independence.
Having received no reply a week later, he sent another letter, raising concerns about the royal household’s involvement in the process.
Such is his lack of trust in the system that he fears it may have been adapted to reach a predetermined outcome.
He has said that until his questions are answered, he should not be expected to submit further formal requests for police protection, which involve sharing sensitive information about his family’s movements, as he is concerned about how it is shared.
Harry wrote to the Home Secretary in mid-August to give formal notice that his family was returning to the UK the following week for a minimum period of six months.
He said Ravec had known for several months that he intended to spend considerably more time in the country.
However, he pointed out that he was still waiting to be told of the RMB’s conclusions and for an explanation of why his RMB was delayed from March until July.
At the same time, he wrote to the chair of Ravec, with the same information. He noted that if the RMB had taken place in March as promised, the ongoing uncertainty about his family’s protection could have been avoided.
Ravec has long pointed to his “unique” set of circumstances – the fact that he lived abroad and was a non-working royal – as the reason for creating a “bespoke” process for him which involves assessing each return visit on its merits.
However, Harry believes that the family’s return to the UK marks a “significant change in circumstances” that should prompt a new evaluation. For now, sources say that the family has been given nothing more than a phone number for a liaison officer."

President Trump says he’s “happy” Prince Harry and his family have left the US.
“I am happy about it. I was not a fan. I thought they treated the royal family with great disrespect. I didn’t like it,” Trump said, mentioning his “good relationships” with the late Queen Elizabeth and King Charles.
He specifically criticised Meghan. “I didn’t like the way she acted. I thought she was terribly disrespectful.”
Ouch! Imagine being so despised that your own president comes out to slam you.
Oh no! 😱
Our favourite Lieutenant Colonel Jonny Thompson will depart his Royal position at the end of the year.
He plans to pursue a role in the private sector and will also leave the British Army after 21 years of military service.
Damn! 😢

The suss exes have been back in the UK for five minutes and I'm already exhausted.
They plead for privacy but leak like sieves. And as expected, the articles are coming thick and fast but they're all contradictory. Did the King know they were coming back six months ago or was he only informed last week? And do you remember how Megsy was never setting foot in the UK again, and how it wasn't safe for Harry to bring his family even for a visit? Well the circus is back in town. 🎪🤹♀️
Their demands for taxpayer-funded security are more to do with plumping up their grandiose egos because most people would literally pay them to go away. And if security is so important to them, why give the Home Office security committee only two weeks' notice of their arrival (instead of the 28 days they require) just so 'the news didn't leak'?
I'm guessing they're desperate for the locations of the kids' school and the house they'll be squatting in to be leaked so they can launch another privacy tirade.
And you absolutely know the stories will start to appear shortly about how William and Catherine won't let their kids play with Archibet. I feel incredibly sorry for the Wales's having this shite-show back on their doorstep.
They've achieved nothing in six years in the US and I now believe they're only back to grift from the King, work towards the half-in half-out scenario that QEII refused them, and to try to destroy William.
