Right, thanks for reminding me FF actually confirmed that many of the petty, negative rumours really did happen (even announcing Archie at the wedding as well), except they happened in a way where the Sussexes were completely innocent and everyone else was at fault.
I'll say it again then, almost all the most negative stories came directly from them or were confirmed by their proxy. Meghan was even warned that the NY baby shower wouldn't be perceived well by the public and the palace did defend that one.
To be fair the version in FF goes into great detail about the process of picking a tiara, denies an emerald one was first choice although an early consideration. The bother started when Meghan arranged for her hairdresser to come over from, Paris I think, for a fitting with the tiara but Angela kelly the queens assistant said she could not come up to London from Windsor when they requested.
To summarise there was an incident over the tiara, not which one but when it could be removed from the vaults for the fitting, Harry felt Angela Kelly was being difficult , which was not her place, Harry was angry , there were words and as a result he went to the queen.
Angela did eventually come up to London to remove the tiara from the vaults.
How many times did Charles see Archie when he was residing at Frogmore Cottage? We have been told, by the media, that it was only 2 or 3 times. If true, why didn't he make more of an effort? Why didn't Charles try to help Harry when it was clear the Sussexes were struggling? Harry asked his family for help but was rebuffed. Charles shoulders some of the blame for this deteriorating situation.
This where there is a conflict in the story, firstly about the visits to Archie , do we now believe the press. Do we know for sure if invitations were made or turned down.
Secondly Harry is mixing up stories, what help did he ask for?
All we have been able to gather is that they wanted a HIHO package which was refused, from his own mouth he said he did not go to his family when Meghan was unwell.
If we are now believing the press, or ' sources said' they were offered a slow introduction to royal life similar to W & K, a country estate, even a commonwealth country was considered, but all was refused.
As I said the other day we need to be careful not to confuse fact with ' sources said'
We do know that they didn't go to Balmoral along with the rest of the family to visit the Queen they instead flew to the South of France, there was a great debate on here about travelling to Balmoral and the difficulties with a young baby only for them to go abroad instead.
Having said all that William has said, on record , that he wanted his father to slow down to spend more time with the children, so it could be true, the point is we do not know.
