I am sure Elton John will be happy to pay for all of them. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691358&v=e car4play691342 Fri, 21 Aug 2026 19:19:25 +0100 >>They have insurance so no.

However I hope the press turn down the unfounded speculation until their intentions are clear. I know H&M have a lot of responsibility for the way their popularity seems to have slumped with many sections of the populace. However hounding them at every turn is not justified. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691330&v=e car4play691326 Fri, 21 Aug 2026 12:45:31 +0100 >>both of them, actually. >>tinyurl.com/bbcrecommission ROFLMAO! http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691326&v=e car4play691325 Fri, 21 Aug 2026 12:07:02 +0100 >> .... because Meghan has been offered a tv series part being filmed in a UK studio. >> ...both of them, actually. https://tinyurl.com/bbcrecommission http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691325&v=e car4play691324 Fri, 21 Aug 2026 11:43:48 +0100 I have a fairly negative view of H & M - two oversized egos. Harry - not very bright with a hugely over-developed sense of entitlement, Meghan - disappointed that childhood fantasies of becoming a real princess had been dashed. In the US their social status must have taken a knock when withdrawal from Royal duties meant they would no longer be known as "their Royal Highnesses". Severely bruised egos ......... Perhaps they are/were hoping that on return to the UK all would be forgiven and they would be treated with the deference with which they feel is their right. It looks like they will be largely disappointed! http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691324&v=e car4play691310 Fri, 21 Aug 2026 08:28:42 +0100 The reasons are trickling out now. Harry has gone from "I can never come back". a few months ago, to "I'M coming home" because Meghan has been offered a tv series part being filmed in a UK studio. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691310&v=e car4play691308 Fri, 21 Aug 2026 08:16:45 +0100 Rather than benefits there will be a whole host of complications.

It’s nice to see that it’s still there, though I haven’t been for over 30 years. It made me prompted me to google the AA office - which is also still there, but not occupied by American. It’s on the market, and described as recently renovated to a high standard. From the 2 shots of reception shown it looks exactly the same, though I can’t see if the waterfall is still there! https://www.gryphonpropertypartners.com/property-details/23-59-staines-road-hounslow-tw3-3hl/610.html Off topic I know, but there’s an American link so hopefully that’s OK! http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691296&v=e car4play691295 Thu, 20 Aug 2026 13:10:22 +0100 Well, if Harry and Megan pop into my local 'Spoons I'll happily by them a pint and a glass of sweet sherry. But if he get's out his mobile and start's a hands free conversation with Charles or William, I'll say, "HARRY - NO!" He knows the rules, who does the upper class ponce think he is? http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691295&v=e car4play691294 Thu, 20 Aug 2026 10:53:11 +0100 https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwell/essays-and-other-works/the-moon-under-water/ Here’s the essay.

I am not bothered about kids running around in The Moon Under Water, it's The Moon On The Square (see note 1.) that I am concerned about. Slightly more seriously - why are they coming back? Is it really for the kids education, or being a little cynical - does Harry feel he should get established here while Dad is still on the throne, because he will be a lot less welcome if he waits until his brother is king! Note 1. Wetherspoons have several pubs with the same name. The nearest The Moon Under Water to me is in Hounslow (never been in there). The nearest The Moon On The Square is in Feltham (been in there loads of times) http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691286&v=e car4play691285 Thu, 20 Aug 2026 09:10:24 +0100 There must be a BIG reason(s) to hurry back to the UK!. It's a matter of weeks ago he was saying the UK was too dangerous. This was despite visiting Columbia, Mexico, South Africa, Lesotho, Ukraine + some European citiies Suggestions 1) Charles is still being treated for cancer, and like many, the outlook can be difficult to predict. Maybe deemed better to come back when his dad is about. More difficult, I would suggest, if William is King. 2) Problem with his undeclared drug habit on Visa declaration (& ICE knocking on doors!) 3) Running out of the $megabucks handed out 5 +years ago by all their "Hollywood Friends"? or All 3 or add some more! We will probably never know. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691285&v=e car4play691284 Thu, 20 Aug 2026 08:40:52 +0100 >> Prince Harry and Meghan are moving back to the UK. >> https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62ey03z9d1o >> I am overjoyed - naturally.
