The decision to exclude Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from tonight's 'reception of the century' at Buckingham Palace is 'beyond bonkers', it was claimed today.

A friend of the couple claims that the Sussexes will feel 'excluded' after they were apparently 'uninvited' to a state event for 1,000 world leaders and foreign royals attending the Queen's funeral tomorrow.

It is thought Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle received an invitation to the event, hosted by King Charles and the Queen Consort. But the couple are now unlikely to attend after officials at Buckingham Palace insisted the reception was for working royals only, it is understood.

I'm sick of Henpecked Harry thinking he's still entitled to the things he very clearly gave up.

Harry hasn't a drop of Windsor Royal Blood in his DNA.

If he keeps this up, he won't die of natural causes.

These two don't want anything to do with Royal duties then bitch about not being able to participate in them...

Rhetorical question:

Wonder really, how many times the bloodline lineage actually deviated without the public being aware.

US President Joe Biden has arrived at Westminster Hall to pay his respects to the late Queen who is lying-in-state before funeral ceremonies tomorrow.

President Biden and First Lady Jill were seen standing on a VIP balcony looking down at the Queen's coffin, which is under constant guard and draped in flags.

The American president touched his hand to his heart and appeared to snap off a quick salute to the late monarch in a gesture of respect, before continuing on through the hall.

Biden's visit came moments after French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte were spotted making their way to the Palace of Westminster.

Mr Macron, who is seldom seen out of his trademark blue suit, was seen in a more understated dark navy jacket, charcoal grey trousers and black trainers alongside his wife, who dressed in a similar fashion.

The pair donned sunglasses as they strolled through central London, flanked by aides and security guards.

After paying their respects to the late monarch, Biden and Macron will join King Charles and scores of other world leaders and royals for a reception at Buckingham Palace, where they will present the new king with a book of pictures celebrating the Queen's visits to France.

Elizabeth's body has been lying in state at the historic Westminster Hall since Wednesday, and people from all walks of life and from around the world have been filing past in a constant, emotional stream, many queuing overnight.








French President Emmanuel Macron (C-L) and his wife Brigitte Macron (C-R) arrive at Westminster Hall to pay their respects to Britain's late Queen Elizabeth II in London, Britain, 18 September 2022. The queen's funeral will be held on 19 September, following four days of lying in state inside Westminster Hall

Looks like so far Macron wins the biggest embarrassment award...his wife couldn't dress up just a little?..

[Gefn]

Except they probably cost a bout $1000 at the local mall.

Then there is the fact that the French love sticking their fingers mockingly at England eyes.  Been that way for a 1000 years.

Seriously, sneakers?

Look at Biden's vacant expression in those photos above.

I am recording the first few hours...I just can't function after getting up at 4am....I will watch the rest of it after I'm up and with a caffeine fix..lol

[Wingnut]

Does Harry not know what "resignation" means?

Like that Sienfeld episode, Harry is George Costanza when George goes back to work and pretended he never quit.

Maybe they took the bus ......

Or Kramer at the job for which he wasn't actually hired.

KRAMER: What did you want to see me about, Mr. Leland?

LELAND: Kramer, I've... been reviewing your work.. Quite frankly, it stinks.

KRAMER: Well, I ah.. been havin' trouble at home and uh.. I mean, ah, you know, I'll work harder, nights, weekends, whatever it takes..

LELAND: No, no, I don't think that's going to, do it, uh. These reports you handed in. It's almost as if you have no business training at all... I don't know what this is supposed to be!

KRAMER: Well, I'm uh, just--tryin' to get ahead..

LELAND: Well, I'm sorry. There's just no way that we could keep you on.

KRAMER: I don't even really work here!

LELAND: That's what makes this so difficult.

Biden really has no idea where he is-----

I remember waking up really early in the AM to see Diana and Charles’ wedding.

I’ll probably tape it too. I taped the other Royal weddings (I loved Fergie’s wedding dress)

[Right_in_Virginia]

Still no clue ----

[Right_in_Virginia]

For you @Gefn   

   

[Right_in_Virginia]

I'm sick of Henpecked Harry thinking he's still entitled to the things he very clearly gave up.

I'm no longer inclined to call him "henpecked" ----- he's a more than a willing participant.  And, he's on my last nerve.

Take a hint already and go home.

[Gefn]

For you @Gefn   

   

Thank you @Right_in_Virginia

I can’t recall the other gowns.Sophie’s and the grandchildrens weddings. I know it’s part of getting older. I had to look up Kate and Megan”s wedding gowns.

[Right_in_Virginia]

She changed for the reception @mystery-ak   

[mystery-ak]

She changed for the reception @mystery-ak   

LOL..that was big of her..I wish the reception was televised....I have my phone on BBC youtube watching the people walk by the coffin.....so sad...I saw two little girls curtsy and blow kisses to the Queen last night...that did it for me...

[Gefn]

UK to fall silent at 8pm (GMT)for one minute to remember the Queen.

-From BBC.

Henpecked Harry!!  That's a great title for him going forward. Henpecked Harry and Messy Markle.

Hate to use the term in mixed company, but "PW" is probably the apt title for this eunuch of a prince.
