To be fair I would have thought common sense would dictate that Air New Zealand doesn't do flights from Mexico to the UK

Has anyone asked Harold why he didn't bother to make the effort to meet his future father in law during the engagement, I would be fascinated by the answer

They knew it was going to happen this way in advance, because the ghost of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the 2nd can actually travel through time.

She visited Philip in the early 80's in a dream, and whispered to him a rumour. She told him of a great danger awaiting the Royals in the 2nd decade of the 21st century. A great ginger cataclysm. The Oncoming Storm. Assuming this to be the offspring of Camilla and Charles, Philip set about ensuring that they would never procreate. When he realised his great error, he tried once again to correct his error in 1997, assuming by removing the influence of The Mother, the danger might be averted. But the future has a funny way of righting itself - a perverse and cruel happenstance - and all of Philips actions, in the end, only provided more energy for the firey tempest. Had the spirit of the queen never visited him, would any of this have come to pass? Was all of this planned by the glowing one himself, as a self-fulfilling prophesy? Those were the thoughts that passed through Philips head in his final moments.

He had always liked Harry. What had he done.

According to Tom Bower's research for his book, Meghan made sure they didn't meet in case Thomas inadvertently gave a different account of her childhood and certain events than Meghan had given Harry. She told him tall tales to make him believe she shared his pain of childhood trauma - a we have SO much in common thing.

Harry on radio interview "The Royals are the family she never had".
She barely knew her half sister and half brother brother etc.

....and on top of that, according to the impressions of some who worked with her in Toronto, she was ashamed of his appearance and unsophistication.

I have the audiobook which is over 15 hours long and I have to stop for half an hour to calm down every time I get a little overexcited, so it's going to take a while.

Excerpt SPARE 1/11/2023
I felt pretty sure she hadn’t googled me, because she was always asking questions. She seemed to know almost nothing—so refreshing. It showed that she wasn’t impressed by royalty, which I thought the first step to surviving it. More, since she hadn’t done a deep dive into the literature, the public record, her head wasn’t filled with disinformation.
After Willy and I had laid flowers at Mummy’s grave, we drove together back to London. I phoned Meg, told her I was on my way. I tried to keep my voice nonchalant, not wanting to give myself away to Willy. There’s a secret way into the hotel, she said. Then a freight lift.
All went according to plan. After I’d met the friend and navigated a sort of maze through the bowels of Soho House, I finally reached Meg’s door. I knocked and suspended breathing while I waited. The door flew open. That smile. Her hair was partly covering her eyes. Her arms were reaching for me. She pulled me inside and thanked her friend in one fluid motion, then slammed the door quickly before anyone saw. I want to say we hung a Do Not Disturb sign on the door. But I don’t think there was time.


SB: "I get a little bit over excited". I bet you do, SB.

In the Netflix doc, Meghan said she googled him on Instagram 'to find out about him'.

In that passage from from the book, Harry says "I felt pretty sure she hadn’t googled me, because she was always asking questions."

The whole thing is just bizarre.

She didn’t have a relationship with her half sister

Her father sold her out for a quick buck. You have seen the pap shots right? Him reading about England or royalty or whatever he was reading in the window.

One thing that became clear was that she did not have the relationship you conspiracy theorists claim she had with her father. Given what transpired and the reason he wasn’t at the wedding I can see why. The bloke didn’t even have a heart attack

Whereas Harry and Meghan are not accepting one dollar for selling out his family. You are inadvertently hilarious.

You clearly haven't seen the screenshots of her Tig, blog, where (before Suits and a bit of fame) she praised him constantly as the best father a girl could ever have. Gushing stuff.
