I guess that if he gets the boot she will say "Thanks for the house, See ya." :))

And if he does get the boot; I repeat that Australia wouldn't want him here either! :-q

Very entertaining! The question is, if they sling him out, do we want him back here?
Oh no he wanted to settle here.

They still have not had the decency to say if they are going or not. Buck house needs to know. They need to allocate a pillar to put them behind in Westminster Abbey.

Whose Exec Jet are they going to use this time. Reddo, any calls?
Aren't private jets against their environ-mental beliefs hence they might fly economy this time! Or get a boat like GT did few years ago...

Ignore the above. Neither his father nor brother are available. One is off to Germany and the other has gone on holiday...

The results of the case of all the plaintiffs against Associated Newspapers will be interesting.

I don't think there was much choice in the timing of the trip to Germany! Scheduled for weeks. He should have already been to France. As far as I can tell Harry's arrival in the UK was 'unexpected'.

Could one of those intrusive cameras on his arrival at the Court been from Netflix and at Harry and Meghan's own behest? Surely not...

One would chuckle if, whilst he's on this side of the pond, he got a text message telling him the locks on the Monedeceito Mansion have been changed and his clothes are in a shopping bag on the lawn.

The Duke of Sussex has said the Royal Family would not take action against media phone hacking 25 years ago as this would "have opened a can of worms."

Any ideas on the nature of the worms, folks?

He seems prepared to open the can now!

I would hazard a guess and say himself. He is definitely the worm who turned. News this morning mentioned a quote of his re. trial saying how he loves his country and he's shocked at this invasion of privacy, blah, blah, blah. The hypocrisy is astounding. IMHO, they wasted their time bugging his car, etc. They could have just asked him and he would probably have told them all the excruciatingly embarrassing details of his pathetic life-oh wait. . . L-)

I suspect the Ginger Whinger may have overlooked the fact that the reason the Firm closed ranks and didn't raise the subject of media hacking was to protect the reputation of one member, ie his mother. Had he thought about it, not a good can of worms to open.

True, but revelations about Diana are what would hurt him.
I see he's claiming the "six year rule" isn't valid in his case as he's only just been told by "lawyers" that he could have taken action way back when. A dubious argument. A sorry bunch of plaintiffs IMHO.
