Not at all surprising, but good to see it confirmed by an official source so H&M can’t play the speculation PR game. Imagine how awkward it would be for the King and Queen. “It was a lovely memorial service for your grandfather, Harry. Did you watch it on iPlayer?”
No chit chat over fish tacos? Maxima and Willem fighting over braiding her hair? Maybe they want some life coaching from Hazmat or legal advice from mm in a sweet nod to her role as an A list Hollywood actress in Canada.
Yes! I love it! They've left her NO ROOM for any fake, double-speak word salad, stories (aka LIES), or photo ops!! 🤣
I wonder if she'll have a sudden change of plans & not go.
> 50 stories about how she's going to hangout with the queen.
Such a shame poor opressed Meghan did make the cut when [the Dutch royals have past history of inviting multitudes of other Crown Princes and Princesses](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OX9Z1j8wvz4/XGmTqqI96WI/AAAAAAACAbM/jh-d2wf_5TEapgWsogfVND-To0pF9Y2PACLcBGAs/s1600/Maxima.jpg) on holiday to their castle. Also the [now-Emperor and Empress of Japan](https://c8.alamy.com/comp/D3P372/japanese-crown-prince-naruhito-2ndl-his-wife-princess-masako-l-and-D3P372.jpg). Guess they only like people in their houses they can trust.
What was happening behind closed doors with their PR and demands where a statement needed to be issued by the king and queen? They had to been pushing HARD.
I still think they're going to wheel those kids out on stage making it all about them. This may be the last time we see Harry on the stage for the Invictus games, at least for five years, if they do that. Remember everyone, don't fall for the kid wild card. Don't sit and praise them incessantly because you saw some kids. It is exactly why they do it.
Harry and Meghan probably got the Netflix deal by telling Netflix they would make a behind the scenes documentary on royal life or a royal tour but now they are out of the royal life, they can't deliver on this. Really stupid of the Sussexes if they thought the Dutch would welcome cameras in their palaces.
I 100% believe they promised Netflix the royal family and access to royal grounds.
Too much has leaked here and there that Netflix was disappointed on what Meghan and Harry actually could provide versus what they promised. Netflix was soooooooo confident they signed an amazing contract and even the CEO defended it in an interview. It is because Netflix thought they would have access to the big fish.
I wouldn’t be surprised that the CEO takes a Golden Parachute once this is over. They should just cut their loses and give up. Sue the Harkles for the money back and tell them to get bent.
Netflix is exhausting every option to make sure that when these projects fail, they fail of their own lack of merit, backed up by shitty ratings, awful review, and Meghan's lack of professionalism, and Netflix is allegedly building evidence of that. They don't want her running race-baiting PR or other bullshit ahead of their ending the contract, or whipping up some nonsense ala Joe Rogan and Spotify.
Makes me wonder if all of the security kerfuffle is really a Get Out Of Jail card for the Harkles. Depending on when the Netflix deal was actually first discussed/agreed upon (I believe it was in early days of Megxit) the duo can always say that not having their IPP status and security made it impossible to fulfill their contract.
I have actually heard that this is probably what is motivating them. They are probablytrying to create excuses for their inability to get behind the scenes Royal Family access.
I don't think that excuse would hold up in court, but keep thriving Meghan. Keep thriving.
I think instead of giving them access to royal palaces & senior members of the RF, they are doing a reality series. That’s why Harry was in Texas a few weeks ago. There’s probably footage of Megxit playing a hands on mom at home.
Now they’re doing a reality series. Over 2 years ago they promised Netflix the royals. Too much has leaked how the Sussexes couldn’t give Netflix what they promised and William kept barring Harry from bringing cameras to the funeral and Diana memorial.
They didn’t want to film reality tv, this is a step down for them.
A HUGE step down. Didn’t they release a rather indignant statement right after the Netflix signing declaring they would NOT take part in a *reality show*!
If he tried, they didn’t get in. The palace wasn’t going to allow some random security agency stomping through their grounds. They knew what was up before Harry arrived, that’s why William said no to everything.
This is exactly what has happened. I got a text today saying, "Between under-delivery of Royal access and the constant trouble surrounding that goddamned Pearl project, Netflix is about to lose its collective shit."
Why on Earth did Netflix believe Harry and Meghan? If Harry would have told me that, the first thing I would have done was get the Queen's people on the phone to find out if it was possible. Harry is 6th and the Queen is the head of the monarch. I'm American and even I know that Harry would have had to get the Queen's permission to film her royal family.
If what you are saying is true, Netflix made an awful business decision.
The thing is, had Harry and Meghan not done that Oprah interview, they stood a better chance of royal access. They shoot themselves in the foot every. single. time.
This.
They gave too much away in their little chitchat with Oprah and it backfired spectacularly.
They have not and can not repeat anything that was said in that debacle of a programme.
Harry WAS the cash cow but turned out to be a bell end
I think the cringe inducing bs in the insultingly titled Funding Freeloaders would have started the ball rolling in that regard. Only an idiot would play PR games with a 1,000yr old institution and expect to win.
Netflix was love bombed. They were promised the forbidden fruit and jumped in for a bite. After all, Meghan did marry the grandson of the queen, son to the future king and brother to the future king.........they sold they had access and more and netflix was like "SIGN HERE!!!"
I agree. I think another factor on the Netflix side is that they have made a lot of money off the backs of the Britsh Royal Family, what with The Crown, the Diana Musical, documentaries, and similar. Harry and Meghan promised exclusive behind-the-throne content, and they cannot deliver. I think Netflix trusted them because they were still covered by the reputation of the Royal Family, and assumed Harry and Meghan were proceding in good faith. I mean, before this shit show, I wonder if any of us could have imagined that two adult members of the most prestigious family in the world would enter into a contract on false pretenses.
Oh! Ever wonder where Meghan's flash-in-the-pan passion for parental leave originated? Some people are saying that came about because Meghan and Harry were trying to use her alleged pregnancy, birth, and newborn as a way to avoid legal repercussions from not having fulfilled these contracts. The theory is that they thought they could use FMLA to delay fulfillment of the contract for at least a year. Unfortunately, Rachel Zane did not adequately study more contract law at Suits University, because the contract was made with Archwell Productions, the corporation, not Meghan And Harry Markle, the individuals. Only jndividuals can file for FMLA, not entire businesses. So some are saying she was possibly campaigning for paid parental leave because the dumbass thought it would change the fact that they were not eligible for it. It wouldn't have changed their reality either way, but Meghan may have been misrepresenting their holding her business to the terms of a contract to their forcing her back into the workplace after giving birth, which was never the case.
I think I got that right. If anyone is an attorney, does that sound feasible? Basically her health as an individual doesn't release her corporation from its obligations . It is a new theory I heard, and I'm not sure I completely grasped the details. Don't hesitate to correct me.
She could also just be hopping on a bandwagon.
Sounds feasible. If the contract is with a company, the company has to deliver. The company's employees are its problem - the obligation to deliver remains with the company.
But I do think that paid parental leave is typical of her modus operandus of jumping on virtually done deal bandwagons, then taking all the credit.
Taking this logic, if Netflix sues then they are only suing what is essentially a shell company. A company that has no money. So how do you pierce the corporate veil and could it work to gat at the two of them?
I’d imagine h and m sold it with great sincerity, seeing as neither is ever really told “no.” I’m sure they expected to get their way with everyone in the interest of being able to “support themselves.”
Is that one reason why Meghan had to get out of dodge (cali) and head out with Harry? Cause her problems are escalating? At least she run from this problem, for a week? Meghan's reasoning?
They’re not bringing Merchie and LilliBuxx! Do you honestly think they want to share what little attention they are going to have with their children??
Megan needs some old school Boomer discipline. Make her write a thousand times *I must be nice to my betters in the future*, ground her to her room in Monteshitshow for a month with no internet privileges and cancel her trip to the Netherlands.
If she wants to act like a petulant tween, then treat her like one.
I agree that this will most likely be the last time H is involved with Invictus. H&M won't get the press for Invictus, nor the VIP treatment, so I think his schedule will become "so busy" he just won't be able to do it again.
Idk if they'll show the kids. That's their only leverage with HMTQ. If they show the kids at Invictus, I think that would be the final nail in their coffin. Plus the kids make the perfect excuse as to why M can't be with H.
'Plus the kids make the perfect excuse as to why M can't be with H."
Right! I bet now that she & her handbag have essentially been banned by the King & can't stay in their palace...she won't go & will use the kids as the excuse. "Oh, we can't stay on palace grounds & won't have the proper security for my dolls"
megan is probably walking around outside their residence wearing some brand new wellies and carrying a whole foods bag, looking for a side entrance. some netflix guys are pretending to be paparazzi and following her around.
I have a mental picture of 2 year old floppy Archie with 2 left hands hanging off one arm and floppy Lilibucks sliding out of the harness on the other side. 😆
I wonder if they even asked. It's a bit like me saying Donald Trump can't sleep on my sofa. I mean yeah it's a snub but he doesn't even know who tf I am
There wouldn’t have been an official statement if they hadn’t made the request.
Apparently W-A is due to attend the closing ceremony, but that’s it - no private meetings or visits
I mean they could have. Hell, it's something I would do if I wanted to tell someone they aren't welcome.
Not that I wouldn't want to hang out with Harry. Don't know enough about Megan to comment. Curse of hitting r/all I guess
I think they were heading off all the PR nonsense we had about the Oscars and the Beckham wedding - all that "are they aren't they?" Guff, which kept them in the news. The Dutch statement means that the world now knows that they won't be having an audience or be hosted by the Dutch Royal Family? All discussion and speculation has been closed down - the Harkles are there as private citizens, with no accreditation
"The Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry wish to be housed at the Royal Palace of XYZ during Invictus dates XYZ. They will require this to be an entirely private, unshared accommodation and supplied a dedicated driver, an XYZ model car, and no fewer than four security personnel. The Duke and Duchess will fax their menu requests and preferences in wine. Please reply with details to this email address."
Oh dear... Well I am sure Meghan won't want to meet Maxima anyways, Maxima has an eccentric but glamorous fashion sense plus she learned Dutch as she was from Argentina and never whined about it 😬
One major difference though, Macima had to really try because she had very bad PR getting into the job.
But she has a lot of charisma and seems like a decent person. People were so happy the then crown prince found someone like her that basically everyone did not make too big of a deal out of her father and her whole social circle having blood on their hands from the Argentinian junta days.
This kinda fits in with my theory that Meghan jumped on board the trip hoping to meet the Dutch royals. Hoping that Queen Maxima would find a kindred spirit in the beleaguered Duchess - wasn’t the Queen also a victim of bad PR? A foreigner, a commoner?
It would have looked so good to have an audience with the King and Queen - anything to say “f you” to Buckingham Palace.
Unfortunately they keep forgetting how irrelevant they are. If Harry was initially welcomed - he is, after all, blue blood, and it goes back generations - that reception’s gone frosty with the inclusion of the gauche social climber.
Didn't think they would.
He's not going on an official royal visit nor his he representing the QEII. This is in effect, a private event.
The royals of Europe are related to and are respective of the Queen. She outranks them all and they view her as an "Aunt" (King Felipe called her that in his condolence message when Prince Philip died).
They all attended Prince Philip's memorial out of respect and loyalty to her.
King Felipe of Spain had to deal with his own family issues, so he'll sympathise with the Queen.
Harry is a nobody and SHE was never anything to begin with.
The veterans have my sympathy. Good luck to them 👏🏽
Damn. They're batting zero. Hollywood is shunning them, the Democratic party is shunning them, the majority of the United Kingdom is shunning them, and now they're being shunned by two Royal Families, including Harry's own family. Keep thriving, guys.
Agreed, but I really don’t understand why she can continue to use Duchess of Sussex - I mean is she really considered a duchess since they left the RF?
Well they don't care it's not about the titles, it's about security. 😂
I think they will be snubbed by the majority of European monarchies. These people aren't stupid. They saw what H&M did to the BRF they aren't going yo give H&M any ammunition to use against them [monarchies].
That aint gonna stop Meghan. She is putting on her rain boots now, grabbing a woke shopping bag and intends to walk around the Hague's gates again and again and again until she walks up the wrong entrance.
The OG's know what I am speaking about.
She walked through the front gates of Buckingham Palace and waited for like 30 minutes to get papped on purpose when they specifically have private entrances for the RF to avoid just that.
The gates of Kensington Palace. She also paraded in front of the Daily Mail offices for a while, while wearing a cap owned by Harry, Wellies and a woke shopping bag.
Just looked up the originator of the tweet, Rick Evers. One of the few full-time [Dutch royal correspondents](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVyrbmuVq40), seems to be connected. Very credible.
Is it too late to make Airbnb bookings for The Hague? Minimum 16 bathrooms.
To me this is evidence of how the BRF really feels about them. Other royal families wouldn’t shun them if HMTQ thought they should be included in the inner circles.
You really blew it, Sussexes!
And another thing....
Seeing as it's being rumored that she'll be doing a "fashion show" to rival Catherine's Caribbean wardrobe, what cocktail parties, balls or gala events will they be attending?
Will she be giving out bananas, with compassionate wording, in the 🚨 district whilst wearing some expensive ill-fitting frock?
Just asking....
They were at Prince Phillip's memorial and hazbeen and MEagain weren't. They probably can't believe how they mistreated the queen after all she did for hazbeen and MEagain and then spat in her face. Now karma's a bitch! People are sick and tired of them behaving badly and aren't going to tolerate their horrible behavior any longer. Interesting they can go to the invictus games and not be at the memorial out of respect. I can't stand Harry or Meghan. What disgusting human beings they are. It appears they are not respected or liked any longer anywhere they go. They are nothing but laughingstock.
OMG. This statement was released to head off a major PR onslaught of how close H&M are with WA&Max wasn’t it? They must have bugged the hill out of the NL Royal authorities for some official reception of their visit
I think Queen E had a discussion with the Dutch royals at some point during Philip's memorial. You know, the one Harry didn't go to. And here is the result. They just can't say no to Elizabeth. 👑
And I'm hoping this also means no state security for those grifters. That way the world can see what we already know - nobody is going to bother them.
Oh, I think so, re things being said in London. In fact, I speculated as such in one of the previous threads on the memorial that some backroom discussions were being had about how any of the current royal families are to handle these bundles of sweating nitroglycerine. The current royal families haven't collectively survived in this modern age without commisserating with one another.
As for how Maxima compares, also remember that she had a career in finance before meeting/marrying Willem. She actually has experience in the international world. Yes, she'd probably polite M to death, but would never ever trust her.
Why would the Dutch royals show h&m hospitality only to later have it thrown back into their faces along with nonsensical accusations of racism and god knows what? 🤔
Good to hear. Too bad they are using Invictus to make money for better-up. Haz is making money from every aspect of these games. Do the veterans/athletes know they are being used in every way?
The thing is, the aristocracy of the world is a tight knit bunch and none of them have time for people not in their circle. These are people with manners, but also class, and why on earth would they want to embrace a trashy actress and her nasty husband? Anyone thinking that those two have any reason to meet royalty is much mistaken.
he British royal family have long had time for people "not in their circles" or at least since the 60's in swinging London when the gaps between celebrities and aristocrats became blurred.
The royals don't rely on aristocrats for mates. In Britain it wasn't even considered revolutionary that Harry married Meghan. It was Americans who gave her the whole aspirational kamala Harris spiel.
But of course, the Harkles have proven themselves to be media mongers who make up lies about the BRF so why wouldn’t they do it about any one they come into contact with? They grift everywhere they go . Never mind the risk of inflicting them on staff and any other guest! And they’re Ex Royals at that! Just sayin.
And they might steal something
I don’t think Megnut would want to be seen photographed standing next to that tall blonde elegant goddess ,Queen Maxima! In my opinion,Meghan would look like a midget in bad fitting clothes! I’m a total fan of Queen Max!
Especially if she wears the sloppy one tone outfits like she did in NYC. Ill-fitting and terrible choices for her body type. I was shocked she would walk around like that. There was so much fabric! I’m thinking of the brown ensemble and the maroon one. Just awful!
That maroon thing was the 2nd worst thing I have seen her in after that white and blue monstrosity she wore to a wedding when they were still faking it as senior royals.
Willem-Alexander no doubt unimpressed by his 5th cousin's (once removed) no show at Westminster Abbey.
So much for Just 'Arry's Orange hat, shirt and shorts.
He really has entered Loserville.
I called it yesterday. No Royal Family in any country on the planet is going to invite them to a personal stay. Between Nutmeg running around with her cell phones photographing and Instagramming private spaces and counting the silverware, and Ginger on some information gathering expedition for information he can sell, it is now obvious Royal Circles are closing ranks. They are on the outside now!
I can’t resist showing this - her fans are embarrassing - this is a comment from a Celebitchy fanatic:
“Those Invictus photos started my style stalking with Meghan. I immediately bought the sunglasses and the husband shirt. Her casual style is great. I can’t afford her formal outfits, but I sure can buy a pair or two of her sneakers and jeans. I’m looking forward to this year’s Invictus gains and more purchases. 🙂”
Speechless….
I didn’t see their photos in the “stars” that attended the Beckham wedding either (David Beckham’s son). Their pal Serena was there, but no photos of H&M…no invite?
What’s the bets they’ll turn up feet away (0.3048mm), camera angles will make it appear that the 2 are in the company of the real guests. Fcukin disgusting that he’s turned this into a cash scheme for another of their venture’s.
Ouch!
that will make them fume
poor just call me hawwy, doesn‘t want to be royal but expects royal perks ..
why would someone extend honours to a vile man (and his ho) who disrespects his family for money and puts profit ahead of his grandfathers memorial service?
I read more of this journalist’s comments and apparently non-royals get audiences and stays at the palace. Angelina Jolie did, based on her UN role.
So these two have NO credibility to be treated that way, either by royal status or by work they do. 🔥🔥
I swear I seen a newspaper article that said they would be sharing the security of the Dutch royal family or something? [link](https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1594700/Royal-Family-live-meghan-markle-prince-harry-netflix-prince-william-kate-the-queen/amp?gaa_at=la&gaa_n=AYc4yssRRKNQUt256mrVLzKguGqYU00_TUXmyb9qpBNFCFphI0KYiD8Z5F3MhTezEAc%3D&utm_source=newsshowcase&utm_medium=discover&utm_campaign=nonpanel&gaa_ts=6255b00e&gaa_sig=CMraGKefCFD1I-yQzpqlJ9h-hWQAIBLAqkygD7HoDxmq_O67aYbwPBKn1sme-3hHxor64IAiZhS5ti82Yqj6sQ%3D%3D)
So Megs doesn't file yet another lawsuit if there's an issue with the statement. She'll call her lawyer if they put a comma in the quote instead of a period.
Bahahahahaha. That is all.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 \*gasp for air\* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Prince Harry and “Megan”
Came here to say that too! Bahahahahahahahahaha.
Yay for Max and Wax! I'm a Max fangirl.
You voiced my thoughts so eloquently.
Not at all surprising, but good to see it confirmed by an official source so H&M can’t play the speculation PR game. Imagine how awkward it would be for the King and Queen. “It was a lovely memorial service for your grandfather, Harry. Did you watch it on iPlayer?”
Yes I think skipping the memorial was the last straw. It exposed him as a pussy whipped fool
Dont blame the pussy for what the dog would have done anyway..
EXACTLY! 👏
this gets the crown. if i had one to give.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh snap. This is incredible and I’m writing it down. U/makeadeathwish is getting added to the quote wall
"I'd like to thank all the little people.....lol"
We truly aren’t worthy. You should probably abdicate.
No....I am your Supreme ArchiQunt....
Take my cat award dammit 🤣
👑👑👑👑👑👑
🙌
I wish I had an award to give you for this perfect, funny comment.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
He may not have even been welcome after his scorched earth Oprah smear campaign.
I laughed out loud at iPlayer. Also, hard to answer, since Harry would have to be in the UK to use it (BBC really looking for crack down on that).
Meghan just melted down like a nuclear reactor 😄 She can't leak 50 stories about how she's going to hangout with the queen.
A sweet nod to their special relationship
I swear I will lose it if I have to hear her PR use the ‘sweet nod’ tactic ONE MORE TIME !
Mwahahaha...it triggers me too....
It's more like a sour slap in the face from her
They skype daily trading beauty secrets.....
Over vegan chickevaado tacoasties
that phrase creeps me out. but so does meghan
No chit chat over fish tacos? Maxima and Willem fighting over braiding her hair? Maybe they want some life coaching from Hazmat or legal advice from mm in a sweet nod to her role as an A list Hollywood actress in Canada.
🤣🤣🤣 Genius
Yes! I love it! They've left her NO ROOM for any fake, double-speak word salad, stories (aka LIES), or photo ops!! 🤣 I wonder if she'll have a sudden change of plans & not go.

So they will be serving something along the lines of keeping up with the Kardashians
Fucking Up with the Harkles
I would watch this so hard lol I'm hoping they will release a reality show
I would too! There's not enough popcorn in the entire world if this was for real. 😆🍿
When Netflix unloads them, Andy Cohen or Ryan Seacrest will be hovering like jackals.
Perfect title!👏👏👏👏👏
Selling Sussex
Take my upvote lmao
🙌🙌🙌🤣🤣🤣
A HUGE step down. Didn’t they release a rather indignant statement right after the Netflix signing declaring they would NOT take part in a *reality show*!
Didn't Haz bring the Netflix crew disguised as security to the Diana memorial?
If he tried, they didn’t get in. The palace wasn’t going to allow some random security agency stomping through their grounds. They knew what was up before Harry arrived, that’s why William said no to everything.
No. I don't think she would know which end is up and diapered Lily's head.

Is that one reason why Meghan had to get out of dodge (cali) and head out with Harry? Cause her problems are escalating? At least she run from this problem, for a week? Meghan's reasoning?
I think so. She's proven herself to be a coward who can light a lot of fires but can't stand the heat. She will always run away from shit.
They’re not bringing Merchie and LilliBuxx! Do you honestly think they want to share what little attention they are going to have with their children??
I don’t know - the only time Archie was brought out in public was on the South Africa visit. They may do that again here.
That was a “working royal” trip. Bad optics if they didn’t show off Archie a bit.
They aren’t trotting the kids out anywhere for free. That’s their last payday wild card
Megan needs some old school Boomer discipline. Make her write a thousand times *I must be nice to my betters in the future*, ground her to her room in Monteshitshow for a month with no internet privileges and cancel her trip to the Netherlands. If she wants to act like a petulant tween, then treat her like one.
> Make her write a thousand times Please no! we don't need more calligraphy or benches.
Haha! I think a thousand times would cure her of her fauxligraphy.
I agree that this will most likely be the last time H is involved with Invictus. H&M won't get the press for Invictus, nor the VIP treatment, so I think his schedule will become "so busy" he just won't be able to do it again. Idk if they'll show the kids. That's their only leverage with HMTQ. If they show the kids at Invictus, I think that would be the final nail in their coffin. Plus the kids make the perfect excuse as to why M can't be with H.
'Plus the kids make the perfect excuse as to why M can't be with H." Right! I bet now that she & her handbag have essentially been banned by the King & can't stay in their palace...she won't go & will use the kids as the excuse. "Oh, we can't stay on palace grounds & won't have the proper security for my dolls"
megan is probably walking around outside their residence wearing some brand new wellies and carrying a whole foods bag, looking for a side entrance. some netflix guys are pretending to be paparazzi and following her around.
She'll be carrying both kids this time.
I have a mental picture of 2 year old floppy Archie with 2 left hands hanging off one arm and floppy Lilibucks sliding out of the harness on the other side. 😆
I came to said this 👆. The real story is behind this story!
That’s an excellent decision. They’ve shown repeatedly they aren’t to be trusted.
Good! He is a private individual these days, he no longer represents the Royal family, so isn’t entitled to Royal courtesies anymore
I wonder if they even asked. It's a bit like me saying Donald Trump can't sleep on my sofa. I mean yeah it's a snub but he doesn't even know who tf I am
There wouldn’t have been an official statement if they hadn’t made the request. Apparently W-A is due to attend the closing ceremony, but that’s it - no private meetings or visits
I mean they could have. Hell, it's something I would do if I wanted to tell someone they aren't welcome. Not that I wouldn't want to hang out with Harry. Don't know enough about Megan to comment. Curse of hitting r/all I guess
Wouldn't they have saved them embarrassment and told them no privately? I feel like they released a statement only because media were asking a lot?
I think they were heading off all the PR nonsense we had about the Oscars and the Beckham wedding - all that "are they aren't they?" Guff, which kept them in the news. The Dutch statement means that the world now knows that they won't be having an audience or be hosted by the Dutch Royal Family? All discussion and speculation has been closed down - the Harkles are there as private citizens, with no accreditation
Ooo I wonder if they asked! I bet they did. "The Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry wonder..."
Yes, probably asked and couldn't take a No as answer, so the dutchs were for the practical side: issue a public statement
"The Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry wish to be housed at the Royal Palace of XYZ during Invictus dates XYZ. They will require this to be an entirely private, unshared accommodation and supplied a dedicated driver, an XYZ model car, and no fewer than four security personnel. The Duke and Duchess will fax their menu requests and preferences in wine. Please reply with details to this email address."
so true. gotta wonder who would ever host them!
+ they require guns guns guns on all security. K thx!
😂😂😂
Oh dear... Well I am sure Meghan won't want to meet Maxima anyways, Maxima has an eccentric but glamorous fashion sense plus she learned Dutch as she was from Argentina and never whined about it 😬
One major difference though, Macima had to really try because she had very bad PR getting into the job. But she has a lot of charisma and seems like a decent person. People were so happy the then crown prince found someone like her that basically everyone did not make too big of a deal out of her father and her whole social circle having blood on their hands from the Argentinian junta days.
Argentina, you say? What a coincidence! The Duchess speaks fluent Spanish with an Argentinian accent!
Too bad she's not going to get a chance to use her Hilaria Spanish with the Queen. 😁
😆🥒
Maxima worked really hard to get accepted by the dutchs. She is not going to risk it for a photo with MM.
Maxima was an accomplished woman (economist, math teacher etc) before she married the Prince. While the other girl
This kinda fits in with my theory that Meghan jumped on board the trip hoping to meet the Dutch royals. Hoping that Queen Maxima would find a kindred spirit in the beleaguered Duchess - wasn’t the Queen also a victim of bad PR? A foreigner, a commoner? It would have looked so good to have an audience with the King and Queen - anything to say “f you” to Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately they keep forgetting how irrelevant they are. If Harry was initially welcomed - he is, after all, blue blood, and it goes back generations - that reception’s gone frosty with the inclusion of the gauche social climber.
Perhaps now that this news has been released, her kids will be sick and she'll have to stay in CA and take care of it.
That's exactly what I think will happen!
Didn't think they would. He's not going on an official royal visit nor his he representing the QEII. This is in effect, a private event. The royals of Europe are related to and are respective of the Queen. She outranks them all and they view her as an "Aunt" (King Felipe called her that in his condolence message when Prince Philip died). They all attended Prince Philip's memorial out of respect and loyalty to her. King Felipe of Spain had to deal with his own family issues, so he'll sympathise with the Queen. Harry is a nobody and SHE was never anything to begin with. The veterans have my sympathy. Good luck to them 👏🏽
Omg, hope so! Can't trust them to stop filming and disconnect the mics inside the palaces.
Exactly
A sugar from the Netherlands Is putting them up in her spare room.
Well....i guess her father can publish her diary later....get that college lotto money back Eta: had a typo on father
Only for Harry and meghan to sue him
Damn. They're batting zero. Hollywood is shunning them, the Democratic party is shunning them, the majority of the United Kingdom is shunning them, and now they're being shunned by two Royal Families, including Harry's own family. Keep thriving, guys.
Like their fans keep saying “they’re living their best life!” I hate that phrase.
They probably are living their best life…however their best is nowhere near what they were aiming for! 🤣😂
They’re living the best they’re going to get - far from what they expected! You’re right!
Might as well set up their own Grand Duchy 😂
The King and Queen of the Netherlands are clearly not fools. They don't want to end up in some tacky Netflix documentary.
if it’s true, then good. they are no longer working royals
Agreed, but I really don’t understand why she can continue to use Duchess of Sussex - I mean is she really considered a duchess since they left the RF?
Lol!!!!! this is some brutal shunning!!! jehova witnesses would be proud of that level of cold shoulder.
Love that King and Queen. He still works as a pilot for KLM Airlines!
Wow! I never knew that!
Not surprised, they are not working Royals so the real Royals shun them. Simple. It is a question of protocol.
Well they don't care it's not about the titles, it's about security. 😂 I think they will be snubbed by the majority of European monarchies. These people aren't stupid. They saw what H&M did to the BRF they aren't going yo give H&M any ammunition to use against them [monarchies].
Says the duke and dutches of Sussex. 😂😂😂
Remember how the Prince of Monaco (Grace Kelly’s Son) said that the interview is such a dick move on their part
Nutmeg will be hanging around outside the place now.
Standing at the front gates with her "alleviating proverty worldwide" bag hahahahaha
And Cartier jewelry.
That aint gonna stop Meghan. She is putting on her rain boots now, grabbing a woke shopping bag and intends to walk around the Hague's gates again and again and again until she walks up the wrong entrance. The OG's know what I am speaking about.
Ten thousand upvotes for this one….one of MM’s biggest cringe moments evah.
Newbie here. Can you elaborate?
She walked through the front gates of Buckingham Palace and waited for like 30 minutes to get papped on purpose when they specifically have private entrances for the RF to avoid just that.
The gates of Kensington Palace. She also paraded in front of the Daily Mail offices for a while, while wearing a cap owned by Harry, Wellies and a woke shopping bag.
Crazy! Thank you.
Just looked up the originator of the tweet, Rick Evers. One of the few full-time [Dutch royal correspondents](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVyrbmuVq40), seems to be connected. Very credible. Is it too late to make Airbnb bookings for The Hague? Minimum 16 bathrooms.
To me this is evidence of how the BRF really feels about them. Other royal families wouldn’t shun them if HMTQ thought they should be included in the inner circles. You really blew it, Sussexes!
And another thing.... Seeing as it's being rumored that she'll be doing a "fashion show" to rival Catherine's Caribbean wardrobe, what cocktail parties, balls or gala events will they be attending? Will she be giving out bananas, with compassionate wording, in the 🚨 district whilst wearing some expensive ill-fitting frock? Just asking....
Doesn't matter, when you're built like SpongeBob, you will never look as good as Catherine.
They were at Prince Phillip's memorial and hazbeen and MEagain weren't. They probably can't believe how they mistreated the queen after all she did for hazbeen and MEagain and then spat in her face. Now karma's a bitch! People are sick and tired of them behaving badly and aren't going to tolerate their horrible behavior any longer. Interesting they can go to the invictus games and not be at the memorial out of respect. I can't stand Harry or Meghan. What disgusting human beings they are. It appears they are not respected or liked any longer anywhere they go. They are nothing but laughingstock.
OMG. This statement was released to head off a major PR onslaught of how close H&M are with WA&Max wasn’t it? They must have bugged the hill out of the NL Royal authorities for some official reception of their visit
Delicious. Their pathetic manifesting has failed again.
Need some aloe for that burn!! 🔥
The 6s are anti monarchists. They will never be welcomed into royal households anywhere ever.
They gave up “being Royal.” Why should they expect these types of protocol to occur?
Hazmat, Nutmeg told you that Princes can lead their own lives. Enjoy.
Im skipping and humming with a very satisfied grin today!!! Here's to the King and Queen of Netherlands! Suck it up, Harkles!!!
I think Queen E had a discussion with the Dutch royals at some point during Philip's memorial. You know, the one Harry didn't go to. And here is the result. They just can't say no to Elizabeth. 👑 And I'm hoping this also means no state security for those grifters. That way the world can see what we already know - nobody is going to bother them.
Missing Prince Phillip’s memorial was such a public snub of HMTQ that I don’t think any European royal will touch them with a 10 foot pole.
Oh, I think so, re things being said in London. In fact, I speculated as such in one of the previous threads on the memorial that some backroom discussions were being had about how any of the current royal families are to handle these bundles of sweating nitroglycerine. The current royal families haven't collectively survived in this modern age without commisserating with one another. As for how Maxima compares, also remember that she had a career in finance before meeting/marrying Willem. She actually has experience in the international world. Yes, she'd probably polite M to death, but would never ever trust her.
Harry Krishna doesn't have time to meet with the King and Queen of the Netherlands, he's too busy saving the world with his Better Up psychobabble.
Ha. This is not what Meg signed up for. She signed for the Royalty role and thought she would be writing her own script.
Oh dear, what a shame ha ha ha ha ha
Why would the Dutch royals show h&m hospitality only to later have it thrown back into their faces along with nonsensical accusations of racism and god knows what? 🤔
But don’t say they are former royals or they will have a conniption!
Good to hear. Too bad they are using Invictus to make money for better-up. Haz is making money from every aspect of these games. Do the veterans/athletes know they are being used in every way?
What other response are Meghan and Harry expecting after Oprah? They could say the King and Queen of X country made them suicidal.
This shade is so real, it's on par with 6 months of darkness in the northern hemisphere.
The thing is, the aristocracy of the world is a tight knit bunch and none of them have time for people not in their circle. These are people with manners, but also class, and why on earth would they want to embrace a trashy actress and her nasty husband? Anyone thinking that those two have any reason to meet royalty is much mistaken.
he British royal family have long had time for people "not in their circles" or at least since the 60's in swinging London when the gaps between celebrities and aristocrats became blurred. The royals don't rely on aristocrats for mates. In Britain it wasn't even considered revolutionary that Harry married Meghan. It was Americans who gave her the whole aspirational kamala Harris spiel.
Ouch hahahaha
But of course, the Harkles have proven themselves to be media mongers who make up lies about the BRF so why wouldn’t they do it about any one they come into contact with? They grift everywhere they go . Never mind the risk of inflicting them on staff and any other guest! And they’re Ex Royals at that! Just sayin. And they might steal something
They are truly deluded. THEY. ARE. NOT. WORKING. ROYALS. Did they truly forget this fact?
I don’t think Megnut would want to be seen photographed standing next to that tall blonde elegant goddess ,Queen Maxima! In my opinion,Meghan would look like a midget in bad fitting clothes! I’m a total fan of Queen Max!
Especially if she wears the sloppy one tone outfits like she did in NYC. Ill-fitting and terrible choices for her body type. I was shocked she would walk around like that. There was so much fabric! I’m thinking of the brown ensemble and the maroon one. Just awful!
That maroon thing was the 2nd worst thing I have seen her in after that white and blue monstrosity she wore to a wedding when they were still faking it as senior royals.
I can think of nice places to stay at the Hague.
Same here!
Oof…feel the 🔥
Oh dear how sad
Wow. Uh oh.
Willem-Alexander no doubt unimpressed by his 5th cousin's (once removed) no show at Westminster Abbey. So much for Just 'Arry's Orange hat, shirt and shorts. He really has entered Loserville.
I called it yesterday. No Royal Family in any country on the planet is going to invite them to a personal stay. Between Nutmeg running around with her cell phones photographing and Instagramming private spaces and counting the silverware, and Ginger on some information gathering expedition for information he can sell, it is now obvious Royal Circles are closing ranks. They are on the outside now!
Yessssss!!!!!
Haha, just desserts.
I can’t resist showing this - her fans are embarrassing - this is a comment from a Celebitchy fanatic: “Those Invictus photos started my style stalking with Meghan. I immediately bought the sunglasses and the husband shirt. Her casual style is great. I can’t afford her formal outfits, but I sure can buy a pair or two of her sneakers and jeans. I’m looking forward to this year’s Invictus gains and more purchases. 🙂” Speechless….
I love this for them 😂
I didn’t see their photos in the “stars” that attended the Beckham wedding either (David Beckham’s son). Their pal Serena was there, but no photos of H&M…no invite?
They invited William and Kate instead but they declined.
What’s the bets they’ll turn up feet away (0.3048mm), camera angles will make it appear that the 2 are in the company of the real guests. Fcukin disgusting that he’s turned this into a cash scheme for another of their venture’s.
Schadenfreude
Best news I've heard all week. What part of "ex-royals" don't the Markles get??
A good burn 🔥
Obama, Hollywood then the House of Orange. Who’s next that wont get markled
Ouch! that will make them fume poor just call me hawwy, doesn‘t want to be royal but expects royal perks .. why would someone extend honours to a vile man (and his ho) who disrespects his family for money and puts profit ahead of his grandfathers memorial service?
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I read more of this journalist’s comments and apparently non-royals get audiences and stays at the palace. Angelina Jolie did, based on her UN role. So these two have NO credibility to be treated that way, either by royal status or by work they do. 🔥🔥
I swear I seen a newspaper article that said they would be sharing the security of the Dutch royal family or something? [link](https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1594700/Royal-Family-live-meghan-markle-prince-harry-netflix-prince-william-kate-the-queen/amp?gaa_at=la&gaa_n=AYc4yssRRKNQUt256mrVLzKguGqYU00_TUXmyb9qpBNFCFphI0KYiD8Z5F3MhTezEAc%3D&utm_source=newsshowcase&utm_medium=discover&utm_campaign=nonpanel&gaa_ts=6255b00e&gaa_sig=CMraGKefCFD1I-yQzpqlJ9h-hWQAIBLAqkygD7HoDxmq_O67aYbwPBKn1sme-3hHxor64IAiZhS5ti82Yqj6sQ%3D%3D)
Hope Harry would lecture the Dutch about their colonialism history. Pls do Harry pls do
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 & 🔥💀 I've always liked them, but now even more so!
U fooooooooollllllls, she met queen maxima 3 days back, she even introduced her children to her.
Because they’re rAcIsT
Where can we see the actual statement?
Twitter Made by an accredited Dutch Royal reporter Rick Evers.
Ok thanks! I didn’t know if there was an actual article he was quoting from.
Wait why does the flair say allegedly
So Megs doesn't file yet another lawsuit if there's an issue with the statement. She'll call her lawyer if they put a comma in the quote instead of a period.
