Correction: Apologies In this video I assumed that Vicki Campion was still working with Barnaby Joyce as his assistant. I believe that to be incorrect she has some other job in Canberra now... 😅 Please do your own research to find out what that is!

[@lisejacquelinerigault2575]

I usually get your 'gossip before bed' here in France at midday, but I save it for the evening as it is always so enjoyable. I tuck myself in bed, in the warmth and listen to your charming voice and accent. Thank you Shauna for the great entertainment and your 'joie de vivre' !

[@thevintageread]

Love that! 💗

[@MadameRobinson]

I live in AR, USA. This summer we had 100F plus degrees for about 6 weeks without rain. I have a great air conditioner system, but the bedroom doesn’t get cool enough. I bought a portable air conditioner at Amazon. The previous one lasted 5 years, so it’s worth it.

[@diannemckenzie2356]

I live in Canada, lovely to wake up to a post, which I also save for my bedtime. Thank you

[@dawnf2z1]

You’re entitled to say ‘oh sh*t when you have a cassowary chasing you! Brilliant story ❤

[@thevintageread]

Thanks 😂

[@jeannelipham2583]

Shauna, speaking of good, kind people, you, by who you are, attract those people. It is you who make this channel. It is you who attract goodness and kindness. You are upbeat, kind, and, unfortunately, that is unusual. You, I think, would be the kind of true friend we all want.

[@thevintageread]

What a lovely thing to say! Really kind, thanks x

[@maureenwood8910]

I would write them an open letter published in one or two important newspapers saying that he wants Harry and Meghan to know how much the family love them but as custodians of the monarchy it is important that their titles and those of the children have to go. They are loved as family but there desire to be there own people is totally understood and respected. They may come and visit but never in an official capacity and they will never be expected to take on any duties as there is a deep understanding and compassion with how much they were distressed by that part of their lives in the royal family

[@thevintageread]

Ooh that is inspired (and brutal! 😂)

[@puppy1584]

Now…that is excellent. A very subtle, “p*ss off you muppets “. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@cindyknudson2715]

I've read that Harry's title of prince can't be removed. If Duke is removed and not replaced, the Mrs. would be called Princess Harry. Not good. I vote for his title being changed to Marquess which would change her from Duchess to Marchioness.

[@loumartinez7717]

Genoveva, my fellow Mexican is not an actress, she married a very wealthy person from Spain and is settled for life. After her divorce she dated very powerful men in politics and the arts. Well, I’m team Mary forever. Her grace and dignity is second to none. I hope that Mary is ok. Blessings to you.

[@thevintageread]

💕💕💕

[@welliegirl8736]

Shauna, I love your gossip before bed sessions. It’s like sitting with a girlfriend having a chat. If I was King Charles, I would remove the titles as a massive compassion for them to allow them to have real growth and learn to stand on their own 2 feet as they wanted. And that connection to the Royal family have been taken away in advertently over time, they would just become the private citizens that they wanted to be.

[@monicaburdett236]

@welliegirl8736. Unfortunately for Harry, that's not what his wife wants. Marrying him made her famous and rich.

[@deejay8892]

They would continue to use the titles anyway.

[@tinak6484]

I’m American but lived in Australia for three years and we took a trip to Cairns and we saw a cassowary!!! Our guide was panicking too!! Oh and I loved Kath and Kim!!!😂😂😂

[@thevintageread]

Oh wow! 😂💗

[@lindapeterson7997]

Your jurassic park moment with the cassowaries was brilliant! I laughed and laughed! Your survival instinct is commendable! Lol! I believe King Charles is doing exactly what he should with regards to H&M. Ignoring them. Give them enough rope, as the saying goes. To react to their nonsense would only add fuel to the fire. It's also my opinion that MI5 & 6 has a complete dossier on her. Meghan loves to cross lines and while we all feel they are unforgivable, Charles needs to choose his line wisely. Right now she's playing nicky nine doors with her bag of tricks. She will eventually cross that line and she'll find out.

[@thevintageread]

Yes apparently my survival instinct is every man for himself! 😂

[@MariaCordi]

Yes. We're waiting with 🍿at the ready.

[@alicat1958]

That cracked me up as well. Shauna is such a delight to watch!

[@tricianilsson6870]

I am dismayed about Frederick’s apparent infidelity. It does not look good. Why would he go to Spain when Princess Mary was in the US? She does not deserve this; she has been a wonderfully supportive wife all these years.

[@mellissavandermerwe8033]

I found out of cheating. He begged for second chance which i gave trying for 4 years and he hid it better but eventually i found out again and filed for divorce. He supposedly only started dating his now wife 1 month after our divorce was finalized and married her 3years later. I tried dating but men don't want a women with kids and i was finding men same as my ex and i gave up on dating. Focused on myself and my kids, started studying, got a Paralegal degree and am in my 3rd year of bachelor's in law, kids are in high school almost out of high school and i have achieved alot more than i did being married to the fool. Best decision i made me myself and my kids. 🇿🇦

[@lorettalindamood1345]

I think King Charles should let HRH Princess Anne take care of their situation. She could dust their plates in a heartbeat. And they would remember it for a lifetime. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@thevintageread]

Perfect 😂💗

[@kathyevans2968]

I like your take on life from wildlife chases & Barnaby to rogue royals! If Prince Frederick did have an affair.. the whole of Australia will be behind our Mary, but can’t imagine it! Also, I loved reading last week’s stories of how people met etc. I’m glad Charles found happiness with Camilla. No matter what he does, I think H& M will twist it into something it’s not or worse. It’s a no win situation. I’d still introduce laws like the Swedes where you have to live & for the young ones, be educated in the country to hold titles.. or have them removed where possible.

[@thevintageread]

Yes…good idea!

[@stephenluke2347]

A GREAT IDEA.

[@barbraluce5706]

The Swedes are correct. How can a person serve if they do not know the language or culture. Alas, that means the lovely Princess Madeleine leaves Florida

[@linrob1312]

I think Frederick was being pretty stupid to stay the night there. He was inviting speculation and I saw the feeling that Mary had the next day. She was not happy and shrugged his hand away..That was enough for me. Pull your head in Fred !!

[@justsayin8893]

You have the cutest jammie’s 😂

[@janodonnell3818]

Prince Frederik is a high profile royal, for goodness sakes. He knows reporters observe him and he knows this type of coverage would embarrass Princess Mary. So disappointed in him and his lack of judgment.

[@thevintageread]

Same

[@BuntyMcB]

Positioning Major Eye Candy JT and the former Head of MI5 (now Lord Chamberlain) behind the duo at the service of thanksgiving for the Queen’s Jubilee was an indication of how much of a risk the RF felt they were taking having these two in their midst. Johnny was paying very close attention to them. The gloves were well and truly off by that point I think. What was also different, was the number of the Queen’s Lifeguards in the abbey and that they physically walked behind the senior royals separating them from the rest of the family as they were leaving after the service. I might be wrong but I’d not seen that before. The monarchy has quietly cut out the canker and KCIII knows by now that the public support that decision. Just my opinion

[@thevintageread]

So interesting!

[@barbraluce5706]

Cheers for Lt Col Johnny Thompson.

[@ronnie7075]

Yes that is interesting about the Lifeguards. I believe they perceive her as a physical threat towards children, especially when she is so unstable on drugs. As for him, he can't be trusted either.

[@milliway2010]

Much later I read that Major Johnny had signal jamming gear under his coat so they couldn't communicate with Netflix. That's why H&M kept fidgeting with their clothing and the good Major had a little smile of duping delight.

[@enkisdaughter4795]

@@milliway2010It wouldn’t surprise me if Lord Parker of Minsmere, now Lord Chamberlain, who was formerly the Director General of MI5, hadn’t had a few “toys” in this pocket to also jam signals and possibly record anything that was said by the Gruesome Twosome. He was on Major Thompson’s right, our left as looking at the picture.

[@sythompson9331]

We had a problem child in our family-it took my Mother a long time to realize you can't help someone until they realize they need help. King Charles may need to cut them off to protect the rest of the family (hard love). When Harry really is ready for help then he can help but not now

[@fibanocci314]

I think he has done, as much as possible. He can't do the legal stuff himself, it involves Parliament. I think the whole thing about the constant reaching out is a combined fabrication of Montecito and the drama-hungry "news" machine.

[@lululovestoplan5401]

The actions of H&M have made the other members of the Royals look amazing. If they did retaliate and something happened then there would be an uproar.

[@CMYT2023]

It would be heartbreaking if Frederik strayed as I thought theirs was a beautiful love story - in their wedding video, he cried when he saw Mary walking down the aisle towards him & in his 50th birthday gala, she made such a touching speech honoring their love. In Danish. That said, no man who wasn't cheating would after the Picasso exhibition go back to her apartment & then with a change of clothes for both, come out separately but go into the same car for a late dinner & then get back to the same apartment also separately to spend the night. Especially when he had the resources to stay at the very best hotel. Even if nothing happened or he wanted an out for a divorce, Mary didn't deserve to have such public humilation. Charles wants to be a doting daddy more than he wants to be a respected monarch. Based on the years that mud has been slung on the BRF by the gruesome twosome, he should grow a backbone & either follow the Danish (Prince & family demoted to Count/Countess) or Swedish models (State Counsellor/kids must live in UK, kids educated there to be in line of succession). Off topic - an ostrich pecked me on the back of my neck at an ostrich farm😆

[@Fiona86555]

Shona Lady C told this story on her last broadcast where she said it is normal to go to dinner around midnight and not finish the meal for at least a couple of hours later he took her home, it was supposed to be three people but the other person cried off and because it was a charity function they both went to carry out their plan. He had a night cap and left. Not clandestine at all, however, there just happened to be a pap photographer in the bushes. It was the opinion of the person who asked Lady C for her comments that the Danish Royal who last their Royal status earlier this year, who set it up because they want the Crown Price to be removed and his son Christian put in his place. Lady C gave her explanation of the lateness of the after function dinner and agreed with the questioner and I have to say I agree with both of them. It's like Omid scooby, or the puppet Captain Scarlett lookalike as I personally think of the little turd, spouting off about how the whinny kid didn't know anything about how Ill her late Queen was and knew nothing about arrangements to get to Scotland. This a meticulously planned event practised on designated RAF airfields at least every six months, I know this because I was stationed at Raf Benson where personnel regularly practiced this and I was on duty in the Air Traffic Control Tower the day the late Duke of Windsor was flown back to the UK from France by an Aircraft of The Queen's Flight. He was told he couldn't bring his surrogate mummy where she could get papped showing one tear from her left eye, to quote a very old British saying, it's all my eye and Betty Marten., and if people believe this twaddle I have a bridge in London and a tower in Blackpool to sell them, cash up front and buyer can collect it three days later. Love the chats and your normal ones they always make me smile.

[@BuntyMcB]

My late hubby and I always said if either of us were even mildly tempted to stray we would tell the other so we could talk about it before doing anything so we could fix things within our relationship. It was never an issue but having said that I did warn him if he did stray I’d chop it off, pickle it and gift it to him for Christmas! Joking of course … 🤣😂

Keep cool!...you are hilarious. I was visiting Australia 🇦🇺 in 2017 for 6 months and was fascinated by the country and politics. The scandal with Barnaby Joyce and the affair was a chuckle, especially when he kept denying the obvious and also gutless when he denied paternity. Vicki's father was a hoot. I love Australia...and if circumstances had been different, I might have settled there...I was in Bendigo near Melbourne. Your chats are fun 😅

I think he has grown into his face. As a young man, I did not think he was good looking at all, but as he has matured, I find his face and demeanour to be kind and grandfatherly. He seems to have a lovely relationship with his grandchildren. Lovely to witness.

[@terry8728]

Funnily enough, the succession from the late Queen to King Charles has been very smooth and the royal family are basically enjoying a renaissance! They haven’t been this popular in years!! I think Charles & the BRF are handling the pair from Melodramacito correctly.

I’ve always thought I could forgive that ‘24 hours from Tulsa’ situation. Totally out of the blue, and unexpected. However, men mostly cop off with their secretary, their nanny, the woman next door, the barmaid, if you’re a doctor then your nurse. In other words, men don’t even look far when they decide to stray. I’d be too embarrassed to stay married to a cliche.

I'm in southern Victoria and the other day someone put on a local Facebook page that they'd found an emu in their back yard! I think 90% of people were horrified but laughing that these people were trying to chase it out. Not only do we not have wild emus in this area, we definitely don't have the kind that have a horn on their head! Yep it was a cassowary! I don't know what became of it.

You are so right about the necessity of pushing back. It is very much out of character for me to bash people or try to give tit for that but that is what I have been doing since the Oprah interview. I was aghast at the end of it, the unfairness made me ill. The royal family do not push back and I do not want them to as they have to keep on the high road. The rest of us can and it's vital that the duo be kept aware that there are millions of people watching and condemning their behaviour.

[@jaynes9142]

Love your chatty channel, so refreshing and interesting. I think King Charles is handling the public face of the relationship as well as he can, by ignoring them and maintaining a dignified silence. Privately, I would assure my son that the door is always open, when he is ready, but refuse to buy into a dialogue until it comes without any strings attached. Charles is in a difficult position as it's likely that conversations will be leaked, which would not be an issue to a private individual. In the end though, the Royal Family now hold pretty much all the cards, as H&M have told their story and are now boring, repetitive, whining and increasingly irrelevant and desperate. I just love watching it all unfold 😅

Thank you Shaua for another chat. I agree with your comments about not listening to negative comments if you live alone. When you live or work with a group of people and somebody makes a negative comment about something, and someone else agrees, the general tone of the occasion can go more and more negative, which may be why the King and BRF refuse to join in with the American ONCE ROYALS and their extreme negativity.

One of my sons was married to a crazy narcissist. We loved him and patiently kept the communication open until she got tired of him and called us to come because “she couldn’t take it anymore and we had help her and take care of him”. We helped her. He was ready when we got there and we packed him up, brought him home and helped him heal from a toxic, manipulative, narcissistic relationship. Ten years later he has a beautiful wife, a loving, laughter filled marriage and has provided his daughters with a fantastic stepmother. My advice to Charles is be patient, she will become tired of the man she “rescued and improved”. He will need family support to heal.

OMG!! You have DICED with danger 😅😅!!! Agree with you - hedging your bets in terms of relationships feels sad. Really hope people truly consider their present relationship before stepping out. But definitely, before stepping out, please end the previous relationship. Please. That's GOT to be better for YOUR soul 🙏.

Hiya & Thanks for this one! Concerning H & MM. I think, it’s definitely in the realm of possibility (probability?) that the late Queen arranged for ex-MI5 or MI6 investigators to do a deep dive on MM. I’m sure the Senior Royals have seen the results of the investigation. And, if or when that marriage implodes, MM’s divorce demands will be countered with the results of the investigation. She needs that big house because there’s lots of closets, hiding her skeletons. At least, she thinks her secrets are safe. It wouldn’t surprise me if they’re still collecting information. It’s nice to think about. I can’t wait for your book critique on Omar Scabies book, it’s being released really soon, innit? You’re beginning Summer. My least favorite season. There’s only so many clothes one can remove when not in a/c. Here, we’re on the back end of Autumn, I love it. I love layers. It’s so much easier to get away without wearing a bra.😁 I’m a product of my generation. Back in the day, 50+ years ago, we enjoyed a few burning bra fires. Of course, our boobs were in much better shape. I’m not sure when it all changed but I can, categorically, confirm, old ladies without a bra is NOT an attractive sight. It still irks me that it was a woman who invented the bra. It doesn’t surprise me, she was French. Good luck keeping cool! I hope you enjoy your Summer. Patty fm Philly.

If you recall the wedding on video when it shows the Queen she has a "steely face" so I think she had the measure of the bride. In hindsight I am fairly certain that she knew everything she had to know right from the start. She was a fine lady and if in hindsight you look at the wedding I believe the Queen knew right from the start.

[@flowermeerkat6827]

I agree with you about people who hedge their bets. They are very dishonorable.

[@roseharvey2664]

It's tough for Charles as the trouble with Harry has been foisted upon him. But i guess it's like any family and at some point they become less of an issue, even though they constantly try and stir things up. Pretty sure there wasn't any discussion about inviting H and M to the birthday do. It's a shame but Harry has chosen his life and the family are just getting on with theirs. H and M think they will always be relevant and part of the RF but they aren't anymore. Even attempts to be disruptive will fade and just be out of place.

I never followed royal stories before the farce that was H&M. Having stumbled upon them due to their thirst for fame, i got more interested in the BRF, and increasingly appalled at the idea of Megxit and what's really driving these two ex-royals. In my mind, they made the BRF more popular. King Charles does have a tough balancing act to do but he seems to be doing fine. The best way to deflate narcissists is to ignore and give them no ground for stories. They can keep spinning them but i cant help but think how tired even the main stream media would be about their predictable cycle of spins. They may hit the jackpot every once in a while on slow news days and get some big controversial exposure to (ahem) "build their brand" but its not sustainable. The subtle cut-off of Harry from the king's official birthday celebrations and announcements is proof. People who skims the news and reacts to the Harkle fluff may not be interested in them in the long run and would hardly become Sussex supporters. But the BRF are constantly building up their reputation with real world impact and a discernible intent for the good of others. The family drama is an irritation, but the meat and bones are the charitable works and organized global initiatives. Words that the wife loves to spout, i know but can't back up with actual proof.

I am sure you are correct that the RF have all the inside information on the chuckleheads in LA. I’ve heard that the only way to deal with narcissists is to not provide them any “fuel”. It would be interesting to test your suggestion that they back off a bit after being pushed back against. Either way, I’m sure they are getting the best information available on how to deal with Melodrama-cito. (Great name, incidentally) 😘🇦🇺

[@annatjienilsen539]

Apparently Markle and her mother have the gunetic dysregulated dopamine system caller called schizophrenia. She was tested at Northwestern as part of the expulsion and suing process after the glue incident and was diagnosed as Schizotypal Personality Disorder which is what they initially diagnosed people living with schizophrenia with. Aparently the RF and Parliament have those records. So she's already been diagnosed, it's not a secret.

Queen Margrethe II removed titles of four of her eight grandchildren. Prince Joachim's descendants can only use their titles as count and countess of Monpezat, as the titles of prince and princess have now been discontinued. Frederick and Mary, like William and Catherine just may have problems closer to home then people realise.

[@fibanocci314]

What are you saying?

[@anndarley9229]

I'm saying that there maybe someone in the family that's not happy and may be causing issues for Frederick and Mary. Not necessarily has this gossip come from the mainstream media. I don't know why this is being said, I don't anything about Frederick and Mary's private lives. I don't know anything about their private life. @@fibanocci314

Hi Shauna, I totally agree with you concerning the Harkles. Meghan was diagnosed with a Schizotypal personality disorder at Midwestern as part of the expulsion and suing process after the super glue incident. Aparently the RF and Parliament have those records. Meghan will never ever be able to stop. She will keep on making the same mistakes over and over again.

[@KatherineSpinks-cu9io]

[@JB-dt4sn]

Shauna, watching your videos has become a part of my well-being and self-care! I appreciate the warmth, honesty, fairness, and joy that you bring with each one. Thank you so much for being a constant reminder that the world is full of wonderful people, and you are a shining example! I share your concern that King Charles' reign is going to be haunted by those two unless they divorce. However, I don't hope for that outcome because of the impact it would have on the children. Nevertheless, I believe it might happen, if for no other reason than their financial situation. I doubt they will have much left to say once the Scobie book has been either trashed or ignored or both. So, how will they maintain a lifestyle comparable to someone like Oprah, who actually earned and can afford it? Finances will likely be their downfall. It's way too late for Meghan to become an actress; she never had the talent in the first place. If they are addicts, their worst addiction is to each other, and sadly, King Charles will have to detach unless this spell is broken.

[@nikbull1258]

Frederick shouldn’t have gone ahead with this “date” once their mutual dinner partner called in sick. The woman involved has claims to more titles than Frederick, and probably more money. I know in Spain it’s usual to eat late,long and so heading home and having coffee or a Nightcap is kind of usual. However Frederick should have thought about Mary. Genoveva also comes from a royal family and she should have also been aware to how it looked. Big hugs to Princess Mary.

[@thevintageread]

[@flyonthewall8122]

Regarding "taking care of yourself"...I pay attention to my sleep patterns & dreams. When sleep becomes light & restless, or a dream is particularly unsettling, I turn everything off. I don't watch TV anyway, but I stop everything else & just exist for a while & eventually, life resumes an even keel. I can't actually do anything about what's happening, so narrowing my focus to only the things that I CAN influence puts it all back into perspective.

[@thevintageread]

Wonderfully wise 💕
