I think TLQ should have cut Harold off, after the mess with Andrew she never should have left the door open.

And yes, it would have been better to hand over to Charles earlier but it was her choice to hang on.

I think both KC3 and POW have been open about their health and that’s a good thing, I seem to recall there being an increase in men getting checked following KC3 announcement which is good.

The Markles come under the heading of ‘no one expects the Spanish Inquisition’. And TRF have struggled to deal with them effectively. Anyone who has had a narc in the family knows how determined, heartless, relentless and self centred they are. Dealing with them in private is a nightmare, but on the world stage it must be unbearable

I bet TRF thought they’d be somewhat successful in the US, so they’d not merch gossip on the family. Markles failures are spectacular and I suspect TRF hoped they’d have enough success to keep them quiet and busy. We now face the awful prospect of Harold limping back to the UK as he can’t work and his marriage seems a mess. Not what anyone wants.

D Mail, rather far-fetched
Royal Warrant awarded to C's facialist Deborah Mitchell.

"I tried Queen Camilla's bee sting facial and now my skin has a youthful glow - her beauty therapist reveals the royal's favourite skincare products after receiving a Royal Warrant..."

"The Bee Sting Facial has the royal approval of Queen Camilla.

"While she remains 'fiercely protective' of her clients' skincare routines, the beauty therapist reveals that Camilla is a fan of the Gold Bee Venom Mask, which retails for £370.

"The bee venom masks come in three strengths: Silver, made from worker bees, is for beginners; the Black version features potent African black venom; and Camilla's favoured Gold mask contains venom from Queen bees

"Deborah was sworn to secrecy about her treatments, but Camilla's radiant appearance sparked public curiosity.
'I didn't even tell my mum I was treating Camilla, but people started to see how beautiful she looked and were phoning the Palace to ask if she was having bee sting facials,' Deborah explains. 'It was them who actually told the press.'

Queen Camilla also uses the award-winning Heaven by Deborah Mitchell Collagen Drops (£74 for a month's supply), a natural marine supplement enriched with hyaluronic acid, suitable for both men and women

'"The Queen is a natural beauty and would not use aesthetics, so my skincare is perfect for her,' the therapist adds."

OK @Nuttynana , @wisebutwild and @Porco Misere now's our chance! New year, New image. Nutty can get back on the dating circuit after that hatchet-faced aide nicked Johnny, and Porco and Wise can download a dating app. Swipe Right! I sacrificed myself as a guinea-pig with Cam's facialist (see below) on a trial run....

Confession time...I was one of the people who phoned the Palace to ask why Cam was looking so beautiful and say she must be having bee venom facials! They told the press!

Not sure I looked much different for £370, half my pension, but hey. The facialist didn't mention cucumbers but I got them anyway.

We can choose what bees we have. There are Workers (plebs), Black bees I suppose for multiculturalism? And Cam's Queen Bees. I went for the Worker pleb bees because I'm working-class, but you girls choose!
See you in Mayfair! Xxx

£370 !!! At that price I can’t even afford the plebs Worker bee facials, and judging by how Camilla looks I’m not sure they are working!

My level is a snail facial - very popular in France as they can eat them after their rejuvenating is work is done. These fellas are easily obtained from my back garden …. I slap a few on my face, let them slither all over it until it’s covered in slug slime then pluck them off and chuck them back into the garden.
Leave the slime to dry on my face for a few hours then wash it off with a good carbolic soap. I also am not sure if I look much different afterwards but at least I still have the £370 in my purse.

P.s. This isn’t me in this pic ….. even this treatment can’t make a 75 year old look like this!

Anyway Cinny, what’s a few wrinkles when we more mature Tattlers have experience, knowledge, humour and fabulous personalities on our side? I’m digging out my 70s hot pants and crochet top as we speak ….. Mayfair here I come! X

I think the difference between HM and KC is that we didn't know how ill she was until just before she died when we saw the photo of her meeting Liz Truss. I remember it being posted on here how the Stoat must have seen how frail and bruised she was. I for one had no idea she was in that bad a way, so bruised and thin, so sad to see. It wasn't in the papers.

We didn't have daily bulletins about how brave she was fighting gruelling treatment as we've had since February about Chuck. Every single day. Chuck isn't anywhere ill like his mother was and isn't 2 days away from death. I don't think the problem is his working while he's ill, as he's obviously quite well. The problem is overkill, obfuscation and TMI about his cancer and bravery.

One headline from an insider said there was"fresh hope". I felt a surge of excitement thinking that he was finally going to boot the Stoats into oblivion, but alas it was just "fresh hope" that Chuck would struggle on with his gruelling treatment for another year.

I genuinely don't even know why she needed to suffer in her last days like that. There is a line of succession for a reason.

At least meeting the Prime Minister was fine, it was in the comfort of her home, monitored and just a few minutes.

Suspending your cancer treatment to go on tour in Australia is an interesting choice. Let's hope and pray for a positive outcome because it would be such a shame to lose him so soon.

I liked the late queen a lot, but she certainly didn’t inherit the Queen Mum’s ruthless streak. It might have been better if she had. Her indulgence of Andrew resulted in the twatwhistle we now have, and rather than learning from that she indulged the Stoat too. She was much too soft when it came to family. She should have shut down the whole H&M scenario when it first arose. Instead of covering up the Ho’s past they should have left it out there, to point to when the Ho tried to scream racism. Because she was always going to do that sooner or later, so they should have got it over with at the beginning, rather than later when it could be more damaging.

Yes completely agree. Markle probably couldn’t believe her luck…the RF machine covering her tracks for her. TLQ was an astonishing diplomat, bright, hard working and an amazing public servant. But her inability to deal with wayward ‘sons’ was a huge weakness and has damaged the Monarchy. I think William has the steel, he sees the extent of the risk and won’t let loyalty to family trump making hard decisions that protect his, and George’s, future.
 
The problem we have is that the Harkles are spectacularly unSussexful and although they've been paid millions between them for the shite they have put out, who is going to pay them any more?

So what happens now?

Will she fritter all their money away? Will they split up and get half-ish each? Will he have to pay maintenance? And all this leads to how are they going to earn money now? And if they don't, what happens.

If they have or do split up, she'll get one chance for an autobiography and some interviews around and to promote it, but then what?
 
If nexflix don’t renew they are in real trouble. Too many flops to ignore. Any sensible person would buy a massive house, live within their considerable means and work diligently behind the scenes to improve their image. But these two are idiots who blame everyone else and are incapable of change. I think they will blow the money…even though I find it hard to believe or comprehend running out of cash when you’ve got so much

Weird that she's choosing to go to Sandringham, rather than spend it with her parents, who seem to be on their own.

I think her parents will be at Sandringham in one of the cottages. It's just that A&F won't be joining the larger family for the lunch or walk to church. They could be at the church and go in by a side door. The report that the Yorks were going to in-laws was to distance them from the Chinese spy story. They never intended to abandon their parents for Christmas.

I read DE, DM, Guardian etc every day and there are always loads of articles about his cancer, about 20 today. Are these Palace sycophants writing to order? This can't be breaking news?

Interesting post from a DE reader, who his hit on something here imo without realising it.

"royalistforever 14 HRS AGO
"The King is a tough guy. But in a sense he is fortunate, not to have cancer of course but to have the type which with restrictions has allowed him to keep working....especially meeting the public. I was shocked he was allowed to travel to the south Pacific and even more so when he came back looking revitalized."
"Sadly Princess Catherine who equally enjoys meeting the public especially by doing her walkabouts, has obviously been prohibited by her physicians from doing so; likely because of a weakened immune system."
"Let us all hope she too will, like the King, be able to get back into the public arena next year; for it has been reported she misses it very much. Hopefully her greeting many at her Christmas concert will be the harbinger of better times ahead."

The assumption is that Chuck has cancer but can carry on, and Catherine has been told to stay away. This is clever and could explain why they never said for either what was wrong.

When Catherine doesn't appear, we're led to assume she's "resting", but we have no idea and I think she's being orchestrated. She and William are imo ready for the throne. All the articles about Chuck's illness make people assume he's worse than he is, and we have no way of knowing but he has been able to avoid difficult decisions and scrutiny while basking in praise. His medical details are not our business in one sense of course, but if we're not being told the truth and IF illness is being used as a PR strategy it makes it our business. Just like the deceit over the Flatpacks is our business. Jmo.

BP is not truthful, and will lie in small and big things so I'm sceptical.
Chuck's off to India and Italy next year, all being well. He has it all the way round, the sympathy and the freedom, and it's difficult to criticise or question a man who's supposed to be ill. However, he allowed the SS to attack Catherine when she was down while at the same time using her for his own PR. Would a seriously ill man do this, one who we're told is compassionate in his realisation of his own mortality? Allow attacks on the young mother soon to step up to be Queen? She needs support, not undermining, but the support has been carefully withheld.
Notably as with PA, the attacks only started after The Queen died. He didn't dare before.

Cancer resonates with people, the fear, and readers have shared their sad family stories.
Ditto Cam's non-viral pneumonia, which has appeared and disappeared to coordinate with Catherine's appearances and disappearances, the VIP tiara events.

It's noticeable that the SS attacks on Catherine are now accepted almost as the norm, to be expected and put up with. We've been conditioned to accept them. Resulting in stress and accounting for Catherine's disappearances to recover from the "abuse" - which nobody will acknowledge is coming from Chuck's son and DiL. An extraordinary situation.

So for me the jury's out on all this, has been since February.

The choice of India and Italy is so funny, as fellow Indians would agree 😂 I hope BP is trolling us 😂

She reportedly spent $70k for just three photos for her podcast. Not that difficult to believe they'd run out of cash.

We can do a biiiiiig fat Indian wedding in $70k, with makeup for the entire bridal party sponsored by whoever has the 70k.
 
It was a different media environment 5 years ago and she would have called racism immediately and been backed up by most people, BLM had just happened, tv full of talking about slavery and reparations. It has taken 4 years of their bad behaviour in the US for people to be on the side of the RF. I think they have a defence of medical privacy, they couldn’t confirm it officially and making changes to LoS would have breached it later on. No one imagined she would attempt to perpetuate a fraud, they were naive.

The kids shouldn’t be in there, but when the flatpack truth comes out they will be removed.

There's also a Black Pudding supper for selected aristocratic guests, and the staff of the Big House are being treated to cow heel and mushy peas, and a half hour off their scullion duties. The bride's wedding gift to the groom is rumoured to be "Yellow Streak", a pedigree racing ferret. The groom's wedding gift to the bride is a promise (in writing, notarised by the disgraced ex-Archbishop of Canterbury and the Master of the Rolls) not to get too bladdered to give her a good seeing-to when they retire to the bridal suite.

This is how proper aristocracy treats their guests. Look and learn, Harkles. Look and learn.

Cow heel !!! Haven't heard of that for many years. Mushy peas, another matter. Yum.
