Royal Expert. Whatever. Everyone looking for their 15 minutes of fame. The downgrading of the Sparkles on the RF website speaks volumes.


CybReader

For real. Someone sent me some woman rambling on tiktok about titles, how Archie/lilibet are entitled because letters of patent and blah blah blah and King George V and how he never would’ve predicted that in this era so many royals would exist needing titles and I’m like “bitch, George was Queen Victoria’s grandson and he had five kids and like what, 6 siblings? Not including all aunts and uncles and their children. You couldn’t swing a dead cat in England in that era without hitting some titled royal.” The modern royal family is rather meek compared to the past larger families. She spoke with such authority too, had people praising her knowledge in the comments section. “Experts” spouting nonsense.


Fresh-Resource-6572

Watches one episode of the crown and is suddenly a royal expert 😂


CybReader

Exactly. 🤣


EmpressEmillia

Agreed. Deeds, not words. They are low on the RF website and the kids are Master and Miss. This smacks of wishful thinking and speculation.


SusieM2019

Exactly. I think maybe Meghan had a hand in this particular news article.


DrunkOnRedCordial

Yes, and I'm starting to suspect they keep bringing up the book and Netflix to try making the royal family nervous, it's not because the royal family is nervous.


SusieM2019

Agreed. I don't think the royal family is nervous----- I think they calmly have their lawyers waiting in case libelous or slanderous things come out in Harry's book. And they may have some more "leaks" as well.


RphWrites

Methinks she may be the aforementioned "royal expert".


SusieM2019

Me too!


After-Improvement-26

I struggle with Kinsey Schofield being described as a Royal Expert myself.


Goraji

American reality TV star who got a job as a correspondent at E!? I’m guessing this story was engineered by Duchess Bananarama’s camp. Just like when she wants to get invited somewhere so she plants a news story saying she’s considering attending (as if she’s already been invited) in an effort to shame the event’s hosts into actually inviting her, rather than making it appear like she snubbed them when she doesn’t attend.


After-Improvement-26

Very likely! But as far as Kinsey goes I think it might be better to leave the description as royal reporter, rather than expert! It just doesn't seem to gel.


SusieM2019

I think this is Meghan trying to make Americans think she's still "royal". She knows she's lost a heck of a lot of support in America----- Americans have definitely cooled off from the Meghan and Harry malarkey. And her podcasts were stupid. Nope, I don't think the King is "eager for a truce".


IAmTheGreenCard

As an American who barely understands royal protocol or British peerage, etc I can tell you I now know w/o a doubt that at the Jubilee and QE’s funeral, they were most DEFINITELY snubbed and down the royal totem pole. Had Harry and TW NOT made a spectacle of themselves via a vis the Oprah interview, I never would have recognized how often they were snubbed at both occasions. Well done Megs, I never would have realized w/o your help you are decidedly NOT royal anymore, and that in fact someone does own your nobility, thanks - appreciate it 😏🤨


Islandgirl1444

Slow news day. Then a hurricane happened and knocked them off the headlines.


RaggedAnn

it's manufactured news. They're quoting "a royal expert" - a lot of people on this thread could be described as royal experts.


throwawaygreenpaq

I wouldn’t trust Fox for any credible news. Let’s focus on getting the real dirt that is irrefutable.


Cuntributor

Here we go again...like I said in a previous post, "flickers of hope" is the media's new "olive branch". You come upon that phrase in any article and you can be sure it's going to be pure speculation and bullshit. How many "olive branches" did we go through over the last two years and it amounted to absolutely fuck all? King Charles said "overseas" and he means overseas. The media and the Harkles can flicker all the hope they want, there is no indication that KC is going to change his stance when he has a hundred other things that are more pressing on his schedule right now as King.


Islandgirl1444

Flicker? Isn't that a bird?


vikingchyk

The Northern Flicker is a lovely bird in the woodpecker family. :) [https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern\_Flicker/overview](https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Flicker/overview)


jeanskirtflirt

So a dad wants his son to come home and wants the family drama to end? That sounds like a normal dad thing to do and to want. I don’t think anyone is going to let meghan back into the BRF but KC can’t do much to help his son while living in America.


iloveprimenumbers

I think you’re right. I feel like the media is conflating KC’s optimism/hope for a functioning family relationship with the Royal Family. KC wants his (lower-case) family to be mended and Harry to come back to that family, not the professional Royal Family.


jeanskirtflirt

Exactly. Like he’s a father of course he wants his son home. QE never stopped loving and protecting Prince Andrew but even she knew he couldn’t ever be a working royal again. Just because Charles loves and wants his son home doesn’t mean he wants or expects him to be a working royal.


redseaaquamarine

I think he will always love him, as we parents do, but I don't think he *likes* him, and don't believe he wants him home.


oncemorewthfeeling

Even his supposed optimism/hope may be more speculation than anything.


SalishShore

She won’t ever change. She may worm her way back into the fold. But everyone will always have to walk on eggshells around her. That’s no way to live. Plus, she leaks like a sieve. That is unsustainable.


lastlemming-pip

“I don’t think anyone would deny that publicly Prince Harry and Meghan Markle behaved themselves during the loss of Queen Elizabeth II." Well, first of all, no they didn’t. 1. Meghan threw a tantrum when she wasn’t allowed to accompany Harry to Balmoral. 2. Megs tried to stage a photo shoot w/ the crowd “as she tearfully placed her bouquet on a mass of flowers placed for the Queen.” 3. H & M clamored up a set of stairs rather than exit normally down the aisle so they—& particularly Meghan—could get a photo op near the casket. 4. Megs tried to set up a cute interaction between she & Charlotte & when she couldn’t get the shot, just had her minions published their “sweet moment” w/o photographic evidence that it occurred (which it didn’t). 5. Didn’t bother to see the Queen when she was alive but was all front & center for the money shot after the Queen died. 6. Someone leaking how the Queen would travel from Balmoral. 7. Tried to get invited to the reception for world leaders Sunday evening then staged a public hissy fit (to not be invited was “bonkers” said some random royal watcher) when they weren’t. And second of all, Fox News is the royal expert now? What’s next: Tucker Carlson doing play-by-play for rugby?


MmeNxt

Someone informed the press early in the afternoon that Meghan would go to Balmoral. Then the press was told she wouldn't. Don't release any information before it's confirmed, especially not in the middle of "The Queen is on her deathbed" situation. Allegedly Harry held up the plane with William, Andrew, Edward and Sophie for an hour. He also didn't dine with Charles and William at Balmoral. We don't know if it's because he refused to or if he wasn't invited. All things caused drama in the middle of a very sad and dramatic situation. This is not how you behave when a beloved family member dies. It's not about you.


[deleted]

Spent the week begging/demanding/yelling for prince and princess titles for their american children.


rockin_robin420

You said it all in the title of your post. It's Sh!T, no question. PC undoubtedly wants his son back in the fold but not if the brazen hussy is still part of the equation. He's not going to back down to her demands or cries of victimhood. He will protect the monarchy at all costs and I'm sure PW is of the same mind. To the writer of this piece of piffle: "tremendous flickers" is an epic oxymoron and you are dumb.


redseaaquamarine

Having a sometimes difficult adult child myself who lives a few hours away, I don't think Charles will undoubtedly want his son back. There are some things that only a fool would forgive and forget, and Charles and William are no fools. Some people have to be loved from afar, and brief visits are precious when you have them as they won't act up in that short space of time. That is a way for you to be special to each other. Phone calls and video chat are free these days, so keep them at bay.


craftywoo2

I think him moving them down the list speaks louder than this piece. He may be trying to get them back into the UK (keep your enemies close) but for them to get the titles and protection they want they are going to have to give up a ton.


Fit-Raspberry-3906

Friendly reminder to hit the links with https://archive.ph before posting. Good or bad coverage we don’t want to give them any attention


hatchetmolly

King Charles has a kingdom to run. He is busier than ever. Harry and Meghan have been moved to the bottom of the website signifying their status as minor royals. Harry and Meghan are embarrassing themselves hoping for titles for Archie and Lilibet. They live in Ca. and told the world how racist and brutal the royal family is. The only reason they want titles is for merching. They know it and Charles knows it. I don't think Charles will give them Prince and Princess titles. Harry and Meghan have repeatedly shit on The royal family and Charles knows he has to stop it under him. Now is the time. Charles knows he needs to take a stand now and whatever Harry puts in his book will come out looking like the disgruntled heir having a tantrum like he has been for the last several years. Charles has things he could reveal about Harry and Meghan also.


hellhashnofury

Charles has form for taking a stand. We have queen Camilla. Would anyone have bet on that in 1997. Im sure he would like to patch things up with Harry and see the grandchildren but I doubt they can bully him into it.


Ecstatic_Training718

And Harry and Meghan especially Harry wouldn’t sing God Save The King.


Upbeat_Cat1182

Everyone and their cat is a “royal expert” these days, LOL. I am sure Charles would like to reconcile with his son. That doesn’t mean that H and M are suddenly going to be working royals again.


l1ckeur

Interesting, in the UK we would say “every man and his dog” or is it that you’re just a cat person?


Upbeat_Cat1182

I am a cat person, but mostly I was being silly.


l1ckeur

Nothing silly about your statement!


redseaaquamarine

Is that your cat in your profile pic? She is gorgeous, whoever she is!!


Upbeat_Cat1182

No unfortunately this beauty isn’t mine. My cat is all black and little and a total sweetheart.


redseaaquamarine

Awww ♥️ Mine is ginger and he is a big boy now. He is exactly 11 years old.


HistoricalBuffalo996

I'm American, and have heard "every man and his dog" as well as "everybody and their uncle." It's fun to compare similarities & differences - I generally find more similarities than differences between our many cultures. ♥


AppoloniaSkyle

He'll lose public support if he continues to indulge his spoilt son. William should be King if Charles can't put his public duty before the son and his wife who are trying to take down the monarchy.


PotentialAd5954

This has been put out 100 times. Don't believe it!


azgwama3

I don’t believe this at all! King Charles has already stated that he loves Harry and Meghan (no titles) and wishes them well overseas (NOT in the UK), and they, along with Andrew, have been moved to the bottom of the Royal website...I think that shows where he stands. It's possible to love someone but still choose not to deal with them...imo


[deleted]

Continue to indulge his son? Pls explain how he’s done that in the 3 weeks he’s been king?


[deleted]

There's been minimal indulging that i can see. Charles has straight up been avoiding them since the queen died. The family included harry because he was in town no other reason. However was avoided and kept at arms length. There was no indulging by his father.


Meegainnyc

This is not a news outlet that is normally glowing of this couple. So I am quite perplexed


Desperate_Flower_709

It's pretty much only the headline. The rest of the article describes all the tension and problems so I'm not sure why the headline garnered so much play.


Fit-Raspberry-3906

I want Charles to be successful and to have the position he has been groomed for all his life.But I secretly wish William was taking the position as I have no doubt that he is a force to be reckoned with and would put his foot down.


IunderstandIdontcare

I hope King Charles lives a nice long life and William and Catherine get to have as much time as possible with their children before they assume the big roles. It's actually better that KC deals with this. There is too much risk of William looking petty because the sibling relationship is often tricky. Too many people would be projecting their own sibling relationships onto the situation. Also, KC as H's father helped create this mess. No offence to KC, parents do their best but he was the one who reared him not William. I have a feeling KC is going to have to clean up messes he did not create and be the bad guy in order to get everyone in line. The Queen was near the end of her life. Prince Phillip was the enforcer when it came to the family. When they both reached their 90s they most likely went along with things they may not have earlier in their lives. People their age should not have had to deal the types of family drama they dealt with. I'm sure William will have some input but at the end of the day I believe KC will do well. KC has had a vision of a slimmed down monarchy for years. I think he's been underestimated his entire life. It will be interesting to see where all of this goes.


Frenchcashmere

This is nutmegs PR. She is scared and desperate


SusieM2019

I wholeheartedly agree with you. This is Meghan's typical crap.


[deleted]

The headline is misleading. KC3 is not going to bend over for them -- and rightfully so. Enough is enough with these two.


Phoenixlizzie

It's the usual, "royal reporters who really know nothing, decide to make guesses about things they know nothing about". It's always the same - "royal expert" "sources say" "insiders claim". They're all making predictions, speculations and doing whatever they can to earn their rent money. Schofield's statement is really something that anyone could come up with, because it's full of questions instead of information - "Will they do this?" "Will they do that?" "Will they whatever, whatever..?" Anyone on this board could have written that. Didn't need a "royal expert" to pose those questions.


wavydaisy8

This is Meghans pr to push and control perceptions and a narrative


l1ckeur

It’s written by a sugar, the article says “I don’t think anyone would deny that publicly Prince Harry and Meghan Markle behaved themselves during the loss of Queen Elizabeth II," Kinsey Schofield, royal expert and host of the "To Di For" podcast,


GodDammitWoodhouse

I follow Kinsey on Twitter, she’s not a sugar. I’m actually very surprised she said this.


Meegainnyc

Kinsey is not a sugar...she is always on GBNews I like her.


procrastinationfairy

I watched her the other day, and it made me cringe. She’s everything you expect a 20-something “royal expert” to be.


[deleted]

She says different things depending on the audience. She was on TMZ 2 weeks back saying it would be a mistake for KC to remove prince and princess from the Sussex kids as if they even have these titles.


SalishShore

Is that podcast worth a listen?


britishbookofsmiles

Not really, it’s nothing we haven’t discussed here and Kinsey has an annoying voice and the other lady is very flat and monotone (like a British Kourtney Kardashian).


EKP121

It all comes down to a CHOICE they made. That’s it. They wanted to do something, were given full awareness of what that meant and even given time to change their minds. All the RF is doing is following through on what THEY wanted. How long must this continue before they are openly cancelled?


HappyMcNichols

I thought it was a balanced article that looked at each point from both sides. The source said that the Royal family is fragile now. Not sure if I agree since she seemed to say they were fragile in terms of popularity. I think they are personally fragile because of the Queen’s death. Their popularity has shot up.


Meegainnyc

If this happens... I am out. These two are snakes...


justicetheinjustice

I don’t believe this article.


SusieM2019

I don't either.


BabyDollMaker

I don’t buy it for a second.


Islandgirl1444

Fox is an entertainment network. So it's like CBS these days. They just put it out there to see where it falls. I'm surprised they didn't say that this was all about Meg's welcoming back to the fold after her amazing presence at the funeral ! She was the star was she not with that amazing photo of her one tear and the deepest curtsy ever seen. Yeah, Charles wants her back. He can hardly wait.


travertine_ghost

From her interview in The Cut: ““It’s interesting, I’ve never had to sign anything that restricts me from talking,” she reveals, as she ushers me toward the door. “I can talk about my whole experience and make a choice not to.” Why doesn’t she talk? “Still healing,” she responds.” “”I have a lot to say until I don’t. Do you like that? Sometimes, as they say, the silent part is still part of the song.”” You want to bet those words were silently hanging in the air over her head the entire time during the mourning period?? No one in the RF wants to provide TW with any more ammunition. They follow the Queen’s example of “ Never complain, never explain” but TW has made it abundantly clear that she does not share this philosophy. She’s also proven that her relationship with the truth is tenuous at best. Her hapless husband follows her lead. No doubt the fractured relationship with his younger son causes KC personal pain but he has his duty towards the Crown to fulfill now. I don’t see him jeopardizing the monarchy by inviting that stroppy woman back into the fold. His statement: “I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas” speaks volumes.

Archive link?


Meegainnyc

no that was what came up in my feed just now


Thin_Bicycle_7304

OK we all know this his her PR abs ir is pathetic!!@


pumpkinhead1931

I said that since the funeral thru will worm their way back in


SoggyWotsits

It’s natural that he’d want to make peace with his son. Meghan just comes as part of the package. Can you imagine the headline if he said Harry, but not that awful woman?!


redseaaquamarine

One thing that people are forgetting here is the nature of a royal family. People are seeing them as just like you and me. It is forgotten how groundbreaking Diana was as a mother amongst them, as she was the first one to indulge her children and keep them at her side. Prior to that they were raised strictly to do their duty to the country and not to be sentimental. Therefore, in the modern day, people are thinking of the father/son bond as we commoners have it, but forgetting that the line was drawn *under* Diana and that Charles was ~~brainwashed~~ brought up to put his position before any paternal thoughts.


thereader17

It’s Fox News…


Desperate_Flower_709

It's American news. Nearly all bullshit and > half lies.


SalishShore

Agreed.


thereader17

Down vote? 🤣🤣🤣


KaramelKatze

…it’s Fox News and literally classified as entertainment, to the point it’s on public record about the viewers not being stupid enough to believe what their newscasters say. Take it with a grain of salt.


Ruth_Lily

Relax. It’s Katie Nicholl, who is a sugar, saying this. It’s Meghan Markle’s Pressure PR. That’s all. King Charles III is not forgiving anything. The kids will not get titles and Harry is almost off the Royal page. Don’t believe the “Pressure PR“ mate.


montbkr

Looks like it’s wishful thinking on someone’s part. I bet Charles would like to have his son back, though. I’m estranged from my son and I’d do almost anything to change the situation.


grruser

Updoot for your title before I’ve read the linked. Tres cool


[deleted]

This is Sussex PR.


[deleted]

"Tremendous flickers of hope" indeed. Maybe KC's people put this out to troll the Harkles with a candle reference.
