When is a royal tour, not a royal tour?

I think Harry is homesick and definitely misses his old life but has no way back now...with or without Meghan.
Nice of him to let it be known he sent flowers for what would have been his grandmother's 100 birthday!!
I don't think he'll see his family again until Charles's funeral...and then , hopefully, William will not invite him to his coronation.

I do love a fly-by scolder! 🤣

Terribull - love it!

"I've never seen a royal aide carry brown paper bags for the King and Queen or for the Wales family"

I seem to remember brown paper bags being dished out on planes for the purpose of an unexpected puke, or technicolour yawn to put that inimitable Australian slant on the matter. But wait! that doesn't seem to coalesce with the lovely, heart warming sentiment that describes "Her best Life " all I can think of is the word "sick" is now used in a positive way by Generation Z and Generation Alpha So I'm seeing a connection here, may be the purpose of the brown paper bag is to demonstrate how a sick bag can be part of your best life............and there's probably room for random utterly meaningless word salad, all tossed in flower sprinkles whilst "anchoring your own knowing" that is to know that you know that you have your brown paper sick bag by your side a perfect aid to one's best life. Together with little acts of kindness such as handing out a brown paper sick bag, As Ever crafted with love, the whole world can be turned into the bestest place for not only Her but also all of these he/they/them/Xe/Xem/Ze/hir

All sounds rather chaotic for a royal tour.
Very disorganised!

The weekend retreat with Meghan at $3,199 per person was a let down apparently, as she only went there for two hours.
It’s apt that the weekend retreat is run by a podcast called “Her Best Life”, because you’d having to be living your best life, financially, to afford to shell out a few thousand dollars for a ticket.

Tickets range from $2,699 to $3,199, depending if you’re comfortable sharing a room with a stranger. Those willing to pay the VIP price receive their own room and nab a group table photo with the duchess.

She looks bemused 😀

What's with the lady in front of Harry carrying the paper carrier bags? Is it their picnic?

I've never seen a royal aide carry brown paper bags for the King and Queen, or for the Wales family.

I think she'd just been shopping, bought a picnic for her family to eat on the beach, and wondered what the heck was going on

My first post on this thread................but I've just got to say it, I just love that woman, make her an honorary Dame for services to those who don't buy into the circus of fawning over f***wits!

Well done that sunbather on Bondi Beach who continued to lie on the sand reading her book while H & M plus photographers walked around her.

Which she most likely would have rejected as she knows best...as ever!

There's some chatter on MN and YouTube about whether Megan's choice of outfit was entirely appropriate when they went to meet survivors of the Bondi beach massacre. Having had a look at it, I can kind of see what they mean.

Yes I saw that too. I'm sure it's just an unfortunate choice of shirt, but if this 'semi-royal' tour had been a proper one by working royals the advisers would have picked up on the potential for criticism and advised a change.

Oreo 14.49 - I've just tried pressing the quote facility as you state- that doesn't work on a MacBook either 🤷‍♀️

No I'm not Meghan's biggest fan Oreo. I am neutral towards her.

How strange every last one of them works on the MacBook this is being typed on. --Strike through too--

Oh, interesting.

It does make it very confusing if you can't tell what is a quote, what is an answer, who said what etc.

Why does my dislike of someone who lies make me a bitch ? Hello

Who said that? 😲

So, do I do the Gransnet way or do I do me???

Find out what has piqued my curiosity.
You do you and I'll do me.
That's the Gransnet way.

Find out what?
Some information so as to no longer be neutral?
I'm neutral about Victoria Beckham so I never click on those threads.

No, MarieElla, it shows curiosity, and a willingness to find out.
