So fucking petty, and only really noticeable since Andrew’s weren’t removed.

I hope Harry is on the first plane back to California minutes after the service tomorrow.

[Sarzy]

Regarding the ER thing, it looks like the press stirring shit again. This twitter thread appears to explain why it wasn't there

[tulip]

All this drama is making my head spin. I think we can all agree that the British royal family has their own special brand of cray-cray.

Waterslide -- perfect explanation of Andrew's actions and the age of consent. 

[mel]

I figured the article above was bullshit when a supposed friend described Harry as heartbroken. Harry's actual close friends don't talk to the press. I think most of the supposed drama this last week has just been the press stirring shit.

Thanks Sarzy. It did just seem weird to me but was originally in the Times/Telegraph....

Wasn't she Canada's Queen too?

I think it's very likely that both he and Meghan will be going back to America quite soon after the funeral but that it'll be more because they'll have been apart from their children for a couple of weeks now than anything that the press can think up. 

[coppercatseye]

Yeah, I knew the “Harry is heartbroken’ stuff was bullshit. No way would his friends tell the press that. I’m sure Harry knows what the protocol is and is going along with it until he can get back to the US after the funeral.

[MsDark]

Wow. As if we needed any proof Chuck caved to media attention and public opinion by allowing Harry to wear the uniform (now) in the first place.

The fact that they put Harry right down there with Andrew is bad enough. Apparently stepping down of your own volition is worse than bringing the type of scandal to require it.

Fact is, they might have kept Harry with minimal concessions.

What a bunch of cunty assholes.

Add:  It figures.  Press shit-stirring. 

But I still do think people bringing attention to Andrew being allowed and Harry not was a factor in Harry later being allowed.  It had to be.

Who's the hottie to the left of Macron?

It's a little weird to see Macron and the Mrs in sneakers.  Did they make a long walk?

Letizia is starting to show her age but still looks fab.  Felipe too, but still hot.

1) with the umbrella? I'd go with protection mainly because he could protect me anytime....
2) she's a stylish Parisian *gallic shrug*. Does it look weird? She looks modern + stylish.

[MsDark]

Yeah I like it. It makes sense. I'm just surprised and pleasantly so. For some reason I'd have expected her in particular to be wearing some heels regardless of how uncomfortable her feet were by the end of the day.

Umbrella dude is sexy. We need more pics of him.

Also:  I'd like to see a full length pic (if one exists) of what that dress of Letizia's looks like that she's wearing in the second pic.  The one with the black flowers on the shoulder.  Ditto Brazil's Michelle Bolsonaro
