I don’t really understand the military uniform protocol. If the Queen was trying to save Harry the public embarrassment, why didn’t she just allow him to wear the uniform rather than make it more of a thing? She’s the Queen, she could break the rules.

I realize she's the head of the royal family but it's kind of weird mom/Granny is in charge of wardrobes.

This is my first time wading into the Royals thread. Trepidatious.
I don't get why Letizia (of whom I didn't know before lurking here) changed a gorgeous face. I mean, her body, her business, but I would trade my stupid mug for that face any day of the week.
Thanks to this thread and the articles linked therein, I went down the internet rabbit hole of what "carriage driving" as a regulated sport is and now know that there is a formal category in which ladies in sparkly evening gowns are driving small carriages. It's like ballroom, but for horses?
I didn't know they still call it "geriatric pregnancy" in some places. Rude. Meghan should 100% be staying home, and I'm also glad whichever branch of the palace put out that list mentioned she is doing so under doctor's orders.
Since funerals tend to bring up lots of family shit, Harry and Wills and whoever else can have it out at whatever rustic chateau is hosting the post ceremony punch and cookies (sorry-biscuits).
That's all I've got for now.

I don’t think the suits v. uniforms debate is actually happening inside the royal family. Philip specifically said he did not want a state funeral. He said private funeral. So that sets the dress code. Wearing honorary military uniforms for a private, 30 person funeral would be weird, and the family would know that. (except Andrew but he has other motives) i think it's cooked up drama to sell tabloids.

Is the whole forum being trolled? What the fuck is with all these “new” people?

I started posting over in April Motivation a few weeks ago, then laid it all out in the Heavy Topics thread, so no, not a troll. Full disclosure--I was on the wedding boards and "home for birds" boards of the internet of yore, and came over to PB with the great exodus almost ten years ago. But, this is my first SN here at HIH. Hope that helps.

Welcome everyone! I think having new people is great actually. You can tell when people are trolling.
Anyway, I hope I can catch the funeral thing. It’s been a hell of a week. Just general busy, but I’m going to need Saturday to be extra boring because I need to see this thing.

Ugh. I hate when people are called out just for posting. Neither 4speedy or newspapers have posted anything "troll like" at all. And 4speedy has been a member of HIH and posted sporadically for over 2 years. I don't think there needs to be gatekeeping for posting on any of the boards. Welcome guys!

Well, now, this is a first for me. I’m finally “somebody” on this board, lol. I have no idea who she meant specifically. I feel like it was implied just by where the post showed up so I included you but maybe you weren't meant at all! I think the comment was uncalled for but I'm not trying to start drama. The Royals do that well enough on their own

Why do I feel like the uniform vs suit thing is more to protect Andrew from backlash than to extend an olive branch to Harry? If Andrew wasn’t requesting the Admiral uniform, I doubt this would be a debate.
Still feel the BRF really messed up the Meghan and Harry exit. Making it all or nothing was a power trip to get them to fall inline and it failed miserably. Now we are stuck with drama ever time there is an event which just continues to make the BRF look bad because the root cause of it always ends with Harry had to flee to protect his suicidal wife from the racist royal family.
Meghan should drop her new IG on the day of the funeral and post pictures from the beach.

I agree it was mostly about Andrew and the Queen not wanting to disappoint him. But as per usual, Harry seems to be getting most of the flack online for it.

Its weird to me because I can’t figure out how there are so many now. I guess trolled is too strong a word. My bad.

Just you wait Dollars to donuts most people who are new had some connection to the genesis of these boards.

I don’t see anything suspicious about anything anyone posted here except the other ArielMermaid and squirrels. Was that even this month?

I always assume new people are lurkers finally jumping in. If they don’t try “oh golly gee, I just found you guys randomly,” I assume they aren’t trolls. Maybe I’m naive. I am with you. I am the one who never knows previous names of posters though when they show up and people can "read their tone" so

March 30, 2021 Could there be an alliance? Yes. I am not sure exactly how it would benefit the two children on the same level as the ginger one. He can't change the rules and get them money. There is no one who would listen to him across the burned bridges to get them money. That being said, it is one of those siblings who is responsible for leaking the name of the relative. Maybe the siblings are throwing bombs on their own to extort payments for themselves. Princess Eugenie/Beatrice/Harry/Princess Anne Saw this in the blinds, want to discuss?

Initial thoughts:
-Eugenie and Harry/Meghan are reportedly close so I could see them even doing this to back Harry/Meghan up. -If they leaked it was Anne, I don't think it is to get money but to make sure they aren't pointed at for it. -I don't think Enty really has any royal sources so he's mainly just BSing

I have a few different working theories about this 1- they’re close with H&M and leaked it on their behalf 2- Previous blinds have mentioned Will helps them financially since they aren’t working royals, most people assumed he said it or was involved so they leaked it to get the heat off him (could also substitute Will for Charles) 3- I don’t think Anne and Andrew have ever been close, so they leaked it for dear old dad

I took it to mean they knew of each other through friends, but yes Eugenie seems close to them.
