    How does everyone feel about H&M not being allowed to use the word royal in their charity work? I have to say, I agree with the Queen. If you want to walk away from the royal family, then you don't get use that royal status in your company name either. In addition, charity organization tax returns are typically looked at more closely. I wonder if they know that?? When tax returns get published and a huge % of that $ goes into their pockets, people are going to notice...

    “I mean, common sense would dictate if you don't want to be royal, then you can't be "Royal." ?‍♀️“ I think this all goes back to the story of their very first statement - the one that they put out without talking to anyone else. I don’t think they ever wanted to not be royal. I think they had every intention of having the cake and eating it. I don’t think they expected the family to take the hardline “"We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen," they said.”

    I agree, Wordsworth - I am prone to giving them the benefit of the doubt but the past few months have been full of rookie mistakes. I mean, common sense would dictate if you don't want to be royal, then you can't be "Royal." ?‍♀️

    Do they really believe that sour grape public statements like these are helping their image? Between this and the immediate move to talk to financial institutions, I’m actually starting to think it is about wanting money over wanting privacy. It’s not a good look. edit: meant to say this, to me, isn’t about the word “royal”, it’s about combining it with Sussex to refer to them specifically - in which case I agree you can’t do that while also claiming you don’t want to be a senior member of the royals.

    As Molly Ringwald and my 16 year old daughter would say: There has to be a more dignified mode of transportation.

    Nope! No yellow buses here. I did a two week school exchange to the USA when I was in high school and the yellow buses were frankly less glamorous than I’d imagined. ?
