I think the penny has dropped that it’s far easier to do the minimum of Royal engagements with pre arranged press than it is to produce the amount of content Spotify require or have to put up with a camera trailing you everywhere recording your every move, cap in hand to Liz they have gone and they seem to want Charles to reinstate them as part time royals once Liz passes

I need evidence as to why TS needs evidence :


Umm the evidence is they wanted to be part time Royals when they originally announced they were leaving but Liz put a stop to that

truth be told, the royal family need members who are media savvy in this day and age and from what i've seen H & M are the only ones with half a clue how to present themselves on that stage. So it may be that many existing senior members don't like it, but they would be much better placed to have M & H onside, than fighting against them. To be blunt, the senior royals need to suck it up and move with the times

Prince Harry has said he paid a visit to the Queen last week to make sure his grandmother was “protected” and “had the right people around her”, in his first full interview in over a year.

The Duke and wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, visited the Queen in Windsor on Thursday, marking the first time both have returned to the UK since they stepped back from Royal duties two years ago.

“Being with her was great. It was so nice to see her,” the Duke of Sussex told NBC News, which released a preview of a longer interview set to air on Wednesday.

“Both Meghan and I had tea with her. She was on great form, she always has a great sense of humour.

“I’m just making sure she is protected and got the right people around her,” he added.

Right

i think that was a not very subtle reference to andrew and the fact he took centre stage at the memorial, which could have been completely different if he had chosen to attend

Love this, a doting grandson you never see William bother with her.

Cherie didn't say "in my opinion they want Charles to reinstate them" or "I'd guess they want Charles to reinstate them", she said "it seems that they want Charles to reinstate them"... suggesting that she had seen or read something to suggest this.

I don't want evidence of an opinion, it was framed as something that is apparent. Yes that requires evidence. If it "seems that way", what makes it seem that way?

A subtle distinction but an important one in an adult conversation

It was well documented when they left they had to amend the website if you recall

Also where has the narrative come from that they don't want cameras following them for their Netflix shows? I miss when they were desperate attention seekers

According to Lady Colin Campbell re H&M’s visit to the Queen- nothing of substance was discussed, it wasn’t an ‘olive branch’ meeting, polite conversation was made. The meeting with Charles (and Camilla halfway through) was very brief and distinctly chilly.

I wonder....LC does have good contacts, she often turns out to be correct, and her video is available on youtube if anyone wants to hear more (I haven’t listened myself yet, I just heard the gist of her remarks.)

It does seem to me that H&M are realizing they need to be back in favour with the Royals for their brand to succeed, because they need to be seen to have a proper, ongoing connection to them. It is really all they have going for them, success - wise. On their own, they haven't done anything of note at all and have needed a lot of outside help brought in to produce what little has been forthcoming from them for Netflix and Spotify.
