Now he is demanding a meeting with HMK and HRH PoW before he will make a decision to go to the bash or not. He doesn't want a frosty reception. Can't see it any other way. The Royals will not want to speak to them and they will get booed by the public. Refuse a meeting, problem solved. Mike Tindal has said he wants to smack him in the face.

The good citizens of the UK raised over £60m for the Disasters Emergency Committee Turkey-Syria earthquake appeal in four days including a generous donation from the King and Queen Consort. Apart from finding that the Archewell Foundation has raised $13 Million and donated only $3 Million to charitable causes, I can find no similar Press announcement that the D and D of Sussex have made any donation to any earthquake fund...or have I missed something?

If they had they would have made it known.

Seems that Nutmeg is very upset about this cartoon. Oh dear never mind.

A question for fellow Members;

When this whole sorry saga finally turns to excrement and the scenario I put forward back in post #2661 or something similar actually happens, does anyone think that Harry would be forgiven if he went and admitted, both publically and privately to HM that he'd been an absolute (insert the description of your choice) and begged forgiveness? :-?

And if he was forgiven, would he be re-admitted to 'the Firm?'

My opinion would be yes to the first but a definite NO to the second.

There is no way that this is going to happen Pinky. Nutmeg will not let him. However when Nutmeg ditches him it may happen because he will want to go back to the UK and live in Frogmoor.

Kicked out of Frogmore =)) An eviction order. You have made your bed now lie in it. You want to live over there then stay there. Well done HMK.

Well played Your Majesty.

As Battery Sergeant Major Williams would say "Oh dear, what a shame, how sad". =)) =))

If as reported, as the ginger twerp will no longer have an official, permanent residence in the UK, does this mean he is now fair game for the US IRS?

If only Will Shakingspear were alive what a superb drama he could make out of this lot.

Looking at Bing Maps, there appears to be a cross-country snooker pitch in the grounds adjacent to the castle.

They have now received their invitation to the Coronation (we haven't) and they are said to be thinking about it! Also because it was by e-mail not an embossed letter they are not happy. Just been watching a Piers Morgan interview. A lady suggested that they may not go because it coincides with their son's 4th birthday. Piers was hilarious. Said what, you turn down an invitation to the Coronation for a child's 4th birthday party?
