I am closing the Harriet/Peter topic until something new develops. I have said more than I wanted to say, and up until two days ago I had nothing to say at all.

But as they say, once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Also, since one-pint Willy, I don’t see William being chimmy chummy with Mike in public anymore.

Yep. Mike wasn't at the BP garden party that William hosted last month either.

What makes it funny for me are the headlines stating Queen Elizabeth II’s Favorite Grandson Marries an NHS Nurse.

Looks like we have someone competing with Harry and Meghan.

Meghan built an entire brand out of a letter written to a soap company, imagine what a goldmine a NHS nurse would be for the right PR person.

This was their engagement announcement, notice the name dropping of The Prince and Princess of Wales.

Well, the credibility of Charles are Camilla as King and Queen are lost that it doesn’t seem a flex anymore.

Hence the addition of PPOW.

We all know why they did it, it's certainly not out of deference.

What? I didn’t know Lindsay Wallace was married at the time.

Here is a better article. Allegedly they were both separated at the time, and neither was officially divorced.

Anyway, he got away with breaking the rules cause you know Queen's grandson and all that jazz.

Tbh you seem to think everyone except the Waleses are a problem. Zara and Mike can’t be trusted. Peter and Harriet are a problem. The Yorks suck (can’t disagree here). Meghan and Harry are a problem (can’t disagree here either). Charles and Camilla are untrustworthy. Even the Duchess of Westminster can’t be trusted.

But William and Kate are perfect. I think you are becoming too cynical. I miss the chill vibes of your blog years ago.

You got everything right except the Duchess of Westminster part. I don't think I have ever offered up my opinion of her.

Thanks for reading my blog.

Ming Xi's wedding dress, seen from the front, was exactly what Meghan wanted for herself. Simple isn't always easy. Ming's dress is the perfect silhouette, cut, and drape of haute couture. Meghan's dress looked rushed, made by a novice seamstress from cheap fabric.

I know what you mean, but there is also the fact that Ming Xi is a literal supermodel. Unlike someone else who thinks they are one 😉

[the-empress-7]

I can honestly smell who is she trying to emulate but I’m going shut up for now.

Do tell 👀

Clearly I woke up and chose violence today

[the-empress-7]

While at it: can you imagine the amount of bullsh*t we will be getting when the time comes for The Girl’s wedding? All the People Magazine articles about her opting for the Spencer Tiara. JESUS!!!

Anon, that's like seven lifetimes away for now

I was lowkey wishing they woudn’t attend.

But to be fair, what excuse can William give this time? Missing Peter’s second wedding would raise eyebrows 😅

He had no choice but to attend.

[the-empress-7]

About yesterday’s wedding: the bride should’ve married wearing a piece similar to the one the kids wore and a mantilla or even a voilette tbh. Oh, and about he daughter and stepdaughters: I second everything you’ve said. It would’ve been far more appropriate if they simply entered the church before or after her each holding a bouquet of flowers or even if one of them read a prayer or something like that during the ceremony.

I genuinely didn't mind the white wedding gown, I think the days of white only being for first time brides is well behind us. Except she showed her hand with the other choices she made (re: my first post from today).

And then there is this. Since when does Peter have a spokesperson? This does not bode well.

LMAO she really thinks she is in the royal family now

[brf-rumortrackinganon]

Peter's spokesperson isn't new. Gerard Franklin has been "spokespersoning" for Peter since mid-August 2025. He's the one who published their engagement announcement.

But that said, my sense is Peter hired Gerard specifically to help manage the PR and comms around the engagement/wedding and everything that comes next. I'm curious to see where else Gerard's name pops up.

[the-empress-7]

New as in, hired only after Harriet came into the picture.

[the-empress-7]

Given all the news reports of the likes of Beatrice and Eugenie being subsidized by Charles, a wedding reception at some extravagant location would have made the family look even more tone deaf than they are already are.

Since you’ve mentioned the Yorks, have you seen the photo of William greeting Beatrice? Perfectly planted to change the narrative as it’s the only photo taken inside.

No I haven't! I have seen zero pictures from the inside, but you are saying there is conveniently one of William greeting Beatrice?

[the-empress-7]

this whole marriage was weird af. there was even paparazzi pictures from the rehearsal. the amout of articles about this occasion is kind of alarming!for me lady gabriela’s wedding set an example of how a royal-ish wedding should be. lady gabriela knows she has strong family ties to the RF but back then it was pretty obvious she was just planning her special occasion and not trying to profit or go viral from it.

100% agree

[the-empress-7]

That's hella weird, even weirder that Peter brought a brand new girlfriend around his daughters on the heels of breaking up with a serious girlfriend of three years. What is actually wrong with this family?

Not defending them at all, but all the info I've seen about the relationship is that the girls (Savannah, Isla, and Georgina) were friends first and Peter and Harriet met through them at a sporting thing.

So to play devil's advocate for a bit, maybe Peter and Harriet moved so quickly because the girls already knew each other, so blending their families didn't need to proceed carefully.

Anyway FWIW, my spidey sense is telling me that even though the "official" narrative is Peter broke up with Lindsay in March 2024, met Harriet in April 2024, and went public in May 2024, there was definitely something going on before April. Add rumors that Peter and Autumn announced their divorce when they did because he was cheating, then add Peter's getting caught breaking COVID lockdown to visit a very-married Lindsay...conclusion: Peter is his father's son, just without the secret child.

IMO Peter is a serial cheater, so I guess I agree with you. As for their daughters being friends beforehand I have no idea but will look into it.

ALSO EXCUSE ME. What do you mean Peter broke lockdown to visit a still MARRIED Lindsay!

Girl I had to look it up, and honestly I really need to start paying more attention 😂

I think it will be a bit weird for the working royals (especially W&C) to be around someone like she seems to be while vacationing or even at christmas. I would definitely be scared about her leaking stuff.

NGL William has a blind spot when it comes to his cousins so I am low key concerned. But then again he spotted Meghan from a mile away and this time around had the good sense to keep his children away.
