The Queen has always lived by the "never complain, never explain" mantra, and I am quite sure that she will have already advised everybody in her family to abide by it, too.
There will be no response to Meghan's allegations from BP.
This will annoy Meghan. She will feel that she has been ignored. She may even feel (and say) that the RF must be guilty, as they have not refuted any of her claims or debunked her accusations.
Whichever way it is spun, the Palace will win ultimately. Maintaining a dignified silence is the quickest way to make untrue stories and baseless accusations go away.
Here are some suggestions for TQ's response
"We have all, in my family, myself included, listened very carefully to the statements shared by my grandson and his wife over the last few days and given them great thought and consideration. If any remarks by any member of my family or staff gave anyone the impression that we were in any way disrespectful to Harry, Meghan or their child or anyone of any race, heritage, creed or identity, then my family and I deeply regret it."
"I deeply regret that mistakes were made [like letting megsy within sight of the British Isles ever]. If my [child's/grandchild's/great grandchild's - face it. It could have been Lady Louise or even Prince George innocently asking... or Zara? or Mike in a joking way?] question to Harry struck anyone as offensive, I am sorry, as that certainly was not anyone's intention. "
"I am sorry that certain comments offended some people, but, at the very least, I am happy that they started a some important self-reflection and conversation about diversity in the UK, the Royal Family, its staff and important causes."
" Nobody is sorrier than I that my grandson and his wife had to spend their valuable time attending the $45m wedding we arranged for them - usurping the original wedding date of my other grandchild Eugenie - attending certain day and evening events in expensive gowns, accompanying me, TQ, to certain other events, carrying out a state visit to Morocco, Oceania and South Africa and wearing $1m wardrobes. Though from my personal standpoint I know for a certainty that the burden of the tiara was lifted when we reminded her it was on loan only and asked for it to be returned before she took it to Australia. Please accept my expression of deep regret at this unfortunate misunderstanding and heavy imposition on, delay to and interruption of your actual ambitions and objectives."
.... and end it with something super duper final like "We thought that by giving them the freedom, independence and $30m they said they wanted, this would help rectify and repair the emotional and mental damage they felt their role in the RF subjected them to. This was apparently not the case and my family and I now understand that the damage is irreparable. We can only grant them full and complete removal from any possible shadow of Royal Life so that they can begin to heal and find the happiness they deserve. We wish them the best of luck -- please send back all copies of keys, contact information and secret passwords. Thank you. Oh and you will be hearing from our Ambassador who will be executing the wishes of Parliament henceforth"
Ok I was googling what the flower girl dresses looked like after tight gate and found this. So there was a big debate whether the girls should wear tights on a hot day but not that the poor boys were dressed head to toe in heavy black suits ! Poor kids
I remember now thinking it was a strange choice for wee boys !
wasn't there a bit of a scuffle betweeen the flower kids at one point while walking down the aisle? Cannot remember if it was while M was still alone or when her hated nasty terrible FIL accompanied her. Can anyone find it?
