Normal photos

This is the most relaxed pictures I think I’ve ever seen of the Wales family in history. I just don’t understand why Christmas photos have to be so heavily staged.

Also, the W&C pictures is intriguing. and no pippa.

If Meghan and Harry had stayed in the UK as working royals and were on good terms with Meghan's family (the Markles) do you guys think Meghan's family would've enjoyed the same privileges as the Middletons?

Do you guys think if Meghan was still a working royal in the UK and had a good relationship with her dad's side in the family (Doria is included as well!) do you think her family would've enjoyed the same privileges as Kate's family?

She Who Must Not Be Named

I was absentmindedly scrolling Threads when I came across this little gem: someone breaking down the history of the Lady Dior bag and the irony of Camilla constantly wearing it. If you’re viewing the post with your phone, you’ll need to click on the photo to view the full image. 🤭

This gave me a hearty chuckle.

Didn’t Meg create the same phenomenon with the Strathberry tote?

Random but I thought Kensington Palace or Kate thought up to do this challenge by themselves but no, it's already been a thing for years on the Royal Marsden website and thousands of people have done it specifically to raise money for them

So Harry and Meghan can't go to the UK for business trips or even to see his mother's grave safety but this penis head loves to fly over to the USA whenever he can to twerk for an America audience?

His uglyass can stay over there.

WHY Prince Harry’s UK Security Was Just Declined Again (The RAVEC "Stitch-Up")

This 2025 TikTok features the May 2025 BBC discussion audio of Richard Aitch, a close protection and security specialist with three decades of experience. He was highly critical of both RAVEC and the judicial handling of Prince Harry's initial security appeal, openly branding the entire decision a 'stitch-up'.

The proof is in the audio—RAVEC's decision wasn't about safety, it was about spite..

*For anyone tracking Prince Harry’s current trip to London, or struggling to understand it, he is forced to leave Meghan and the kids in California after RAVEC officially denied his request for taxpayer-funded police protection. Here is the tea on why both Harry and security experts call this an establishment "stitch-up," and the actual info showing why Harry *should* receive state protection:*

* The 2025 Legal Trap:

The Court of Appeal ruled that RAVEC acted lawfully by stripping Harry of automatic security and putting him on a "case-by-case" review system. This requires Harry to submit itineraries 28 days in advance, giving RAVEC the legal authority to say no whenever they want.

* Why They Call It a "Stitch-Up":

Harry originally thought RAVEC was an independent government body because of how it is officially structured and presented by the state. It was later revealed via court documents that three of the nine committee members are drawn directly from the Royal Household, including King Charles’s private secretary, Sir Clive Alderton, and representatives for Prince William. Harry's team argues it's a massive conflict of interest, allowing Palace courtiers with deep personal tensions to weaponise his security as punishment for Megxit. Security expert Richard J. Aitch publicly agreed, calling the system spiteful retributive justice.

* The Double Standard Evidence:

Aitch points out a massive contradiction that if protection is strictly for active public servants, then former Prime Ministers and ex-government officials should have theirs stripped too. Instead, they keep theirs for life due to residual risk, while Harry is singled out.

* The Intelligence Ignored:

Intelligence reports for Harry’s current trip flagged severe security concerns, including *SIX* documented terror plots targeting him. RAVEC bypassed this extreme threat data and declined protection anyway because he is "no longer serving the Crown".

* The Massive Threat to Meghan and the Kids:

The threat to Meghan and their children is arguably higher and deeply tied to racist, far-right extremism and intense paparazzi tracking. Because RAVEC refuses to provide police backed armed security, Harry's team cannot access local intelligence or use police stop powers to protect them on the move.

* Why This Means They Are Barred For Life (unless RAVEC grants future security):

Harry previously told BBC News that it would be impossible to safely bring his family back. Without state protection, a trip to the UK leaves his family completely exposed. His own private security lacks the legal authority to carry firearms or coordinate with counter terrorism units in Britain. Effectively, RAVEC's ongoing rejections serve as a permanent exile for Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet.

*Beyond the legal arguments, there is a deeply sad personal toll here. By allowing his own courtiers to lead RAVEC, King Charles is effectively making it impossible for his own son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren to ever safely visit him and he absolutely knows this. Harry has repeatedly expressed how much he wants Archie and Lilibet to get to know their grandfather and his side of the family. Yet by making little to no effort to step in or even ensure their safety, Charles is prioritizing Palace bureaucracy over his own blood. For Harry, the realization that his own father won't lift a finger to protect his grandkids from documented terror threats is arguably the most painful stitch-up of all.*

Worth remembering that both King Charles and Prince William have representatives on RAVEC (the body that make decisions on whether Harry and his family are allowed police protection in the UK)

Royals and the media

I recently saw that Pippa Middleton made a comment about Kate not being ill in the traditional sense. I saw this on Reddit, and cannot find the article online anywhere and there is barely any information about this out there. How does the royal family keep this information from coming out exactly? Do they pay media companies? I remember trying to find information years ago about a William situation (can't remember what it was exactly) and it was hard to find at the time too, as though all the articles had been deleted. It might have been something to do with Rose Hanbury or the ski trip with the Aussie model. Anyway, I guess I'm just wondering how this all works, how is everything kept so hush?

William's "Homeward" initiative

Billy Idle has finally had no choice but to state the glaringly obvious out loud (that he'd obviously been choosing not to say previously, as it doesn't exactly show the Firm in a compassionate and in-touch kinda light) that homelessness is not individual failings but rather a systemic problem (you know, the system that these inbreds sit at the very top of).

No more bs "raising awareness" of homelessness from billionaires. Charities such as Shelter have been saying as much for years, homelessness and housing insecurity affects more people than ever, we're plenty "aware", thank you.

He should be putting his money where his mouth is (and I don't mean the sovereign grant, I mean some of the eye-watering profits from his personal wealth (I hesitate to call it his "own" money for reasons that I hope are obvious).

This is an actual peer-reviewed, highly successful scheme that was trialled in Vancouver, Canada years ago and still runs today. Billy has more than enough wealth to give every homeless person and people experiencing housing insecurity across the UK this relatively tiny sum of money that the research shows has actually provided concrete benefits and helped people to get back on their feet.

https://www.upworthy.com/pn-new-leaf-project-homeless-cash-transfer/

I'd still be looking for the ultimate dismantling of the system that keeps these awful people in so much power and wealth, but as an absolute bare minimum, it would be a start and certainly better for the people that it would help than some empty words that everyone has always known for years.

Cough up or fuck off, Billy.

So after ravec isnt giving Harry security, charles is still using the sick grandpa trope

Before you royalist come spewing Charles doesnt control ravec, then let us know when Charles staff leave the ravec board

going to add Andrew stepped down as working royal in 2019 and yet got a ravec risk assessment in 2022

Yet Harry stepped down as a working royal in 2020 and his last risk assessment was in 2019, ravec has refused to do a risk assessment since then

Also from Harry's ravec lawsuit, ravec refused to provide additional security for their kids other times they tried to bring them to the UK

The Return of Kate the Peacemaker

With nothing new to report on, Us Weekly (with prompting from Wales source, no doubt) are trying to paint Kate as trying to bridge the rift between brothers, blah blah blah. The article is so thin with details, but anything for a headline, right?

u/TheJennIsMightier — 1 day ago

Just FYI Prince Andrew had assessment in 2022 by RAVEC after he was forced to step down in 2019 and his security remained, yet harry can't have one done
