FFS!! People magazine you are delusional! The Sleazy Sussexes mouthpiece, has just spun a doozy: Harry and Meghan "never agreed" to the late Queen's Sandringham terms.
NEVER AGREED?!?! The Palace statement of 18 January 2020, the one that opened with the couple saying they were grateful to Her Majesty, introduced those terms with two words. "As agreed."
Published for the whole world to read.
And where did People get its scoop? A nameless "friend". Talking to a British glossy. Recycled by an American celebrity rag and slapped into a headline as if it were gospel.
The friend says the arrangement was "foisted upon them". FOISTED! By the Palace's own published account they understood they were "required to step back from Royal duties", and they kept their private patronages "with The Queen's blessing". Then came a Netflix deal and a memoir. Now the settlement they signed up to is something done TO them.
Act two. Another friend tells a London paper the couple "hate" being called "working members of the royal family”.
Really? We must repeat it as often as possible.
Let me set the record straight.
In January 2020 Queen Elizabeth said she and her family "would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family". In February 2021 the Palace confirmed they would not return in that role, and Harry's honorary military appointments went back to her. The phrase they sneer at is the job description they QUIT.
With People, every whine, every grievance, every anonymous whisper from the Sussex camp gets a headline. The official record gets nothing.
Then People handed space to a source whining that the pair cannot be "private citizens" because "they are public figures". Fame is NOT a constitutional status. An audience hands out celebrity. Only the Monarchy confers a royal role. And in September, through the Lord Chamberlain, the King spelled it out: no longer working members, their charity work done "in their private capacity", their position "akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable interests".
PRIVATE CITIZENS. The King's words. In writing.
Read the statement. It is short. The Queen was succinct. The King has been clear. The only ones still confused are the Sussexes' friends, and the magazine that keeps taking their calls.

The King has sold preserves at Highgrove for years. Strawberry, honey, the lot, from his own gardens, about eight dollars a jar, every penny to the King's Foundation. The Palace shop has done jam and marmalade with the crown on the lid forever, every penny to looking after the Royal Collection, which the King doesn't own.
In 2024 Meghan launched a jam. Strawberry. Highgrove's sold out within minutes, which tells you who people actually wanted it from.
This autumn the Palace announced its Christmas hampers. Wicker baskets, British bits, a chocolate Advent calendar. Shortly after, As Ever announced its Christmas hampers. Wicker baskets. A $148 Advent calendar. People who'd watched both launches said she'd copied them 'right down to the basket.' One wrote: originality took the day off.
Look at the drift. She started off California. Sunshine, orchards, the American Riviera. Then the trademark fell through, the logo got compared to a Spanish town's crest, and suddenly it's all gardens and preserves and honey and country estate, which is a brand that already exists. It's called Highgrove. The King built it over thirty years. She built hers in a Netflix kitchen.
Nobody can prove she sat down and copied a catalogue, and I'm not saying she did. I'm saying it looks like one. A cheaper version of a thing that already exists, priced higher, with the charity bit removed.
That's the difference and it's the only one that matters. His jam pays for the Foundation. Her jam pays for Montecito. Same basket. Different pocket.
Spit it out, people. You can buy the original. It's cheaper and it does some good.

Lady C on Nottingham Council and crush barriers for Harry and Meghan PR stunt:
“The awkward business of endless crush barriers with no one standing outside of them and I am told that there are enquiries at the moment being made of Nottingham Council by members of the public as to whether the council actually put up those crush barriers because if they did they want to know - these are council tax payers - they want to know why in an area that is so disadvantaged economically the council is wasting council money putting up crush barriers for people who don’t attract crowds”.
The drone footage showed the truth regarding the crowd unlike their planted media and staff whose ground level images were cropped to deceptively make it look like there was a crowd when, in fact, there was a press group, children and disabled people who were forced to be there and 6 rabid racists.

John Coleridge Patteson was a missionary and the first Bishop of Melanesia, killed by locals on the island of Nukapu in 1871.
In this mildly amusing window at St Lawrence's, Broughton, Milton Keynes he is seen floating in a native canoe, looking very Victorian.

Christian Louboutin called these shoes "So Kate" a tribute to Kate Moss but would love Catherine (Kate) to wear them ♥️👠
When asked by British Vogue what fashion tips he would offer The Princess of Wales, Louboutin declined to give any, stating, "She has all the choice in the world. She's a very elegant woman. I wouldn't give her any advice – she doesn't need it, let her choose for herself." 😍✨👑
I'm thinking a mixed Bond and Boston moment dress with these shoes 💋
