[@marykabarkhuizen1628]

For those of you questioning why @TheSun is asking for the trolling to stop against Catherine but they didn’t do the same for Meghan, there is a very clear reason why. When you choose to speak publicly about your personal life, to do Oprah interviews, create documentaries and disparage others, people have the right to reply and comment, you invite criticism and people may not respond favourably. Catherine has never spoken publicly about her life, never given media interviews and not once has she publicly criticised or disparaged anyone, she has conducted herself with discretion and dignity and cannot respond to the abuse currently being levelled at her. That is why she is protected, and respected. Hope that helps.

King Charles may have said he has cancer, but he didn't specify what kind. We were told Catherine had abdominal surgery, and will require substantial recovery time, that's all we have a right to know. I can't believe how low our society has fallen, when they can abuse a sick woman like this.😢

It is not so surprising to be seeing Princess Catherine out and about. My recollection is that we were told she would not be returning to work until after Easter. Going to the shop is not generally considered to be a royal duty!

[@user-tt3jb2do8m]

You probably know this, but Meghan has literally ripped off The Duchy of Cornwall's, Highgrove theme. They even have a Royal Highgrove Orchard room, which is aptly named, because it overlooks the Orchard. In the shop, and online, you can purchase, Honey, wines, candles, cockery, tea towels, etc. They do guided tours, of the vast gardens. Been around for decades, the only difference is, its affordable prices, for Joe public, e.g a jar of 200g honey for £7.95, with even international deliveries. With all money made, going to the King's Trust Charities. So why would anyone want to purchase from Meghan, when you can get it from Highgrove, with the Royal Standard stamped on it, and help charity. Plus Meghan's would bankrupt you.

[@KeiPalace]

After 2 months convalescence she would be encouraged to be as active as is comfortable for her without over-doing. She can certainly carry bags but I believe she has been told nothing over 20 lbs.

I remember wearing Mary Jane shoes, worrying about falling on the rock gravel parking lot, my elephant bouncing on the ground, and looking at everyone's long shadows, that were longer than they were tall, and wondering how that could be.

However another little girl at the school had found her and was overjoyed to have this Barbie. The nuns wouldn't take it off her and give it back to me!! They told my mother they would buy me another one, but I wanted my Barbie.

Seeing my son, she simply said, "Sun him for 10 minutes every morning completely naked." It did take only a week or so and he was healed!!

We were cracking up about your sunbathing 😂 and it reminded me of a certain couple in our area that my husband and I find both sweet and funny: every Sunday afternoon without fail, when we go out for our weekly grocery shopping, we see a couple, probably in their late 50s, early to mid 60s, washing their cars, come hail, rain or sunshine ☀️ Only, wifey is in her bikini, a thong I kid you not, and darling husband in his thong as well 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 in all honesty, you don’t easily see them (behind their very high walls) when you drive by but they are still visible at times. I think most people driving by, if they could see them would probably think that their eyes are deceiving them. At first I was quite shocked, and hubby reminded me with his old faithful saying “Babe, it works for them, it’s each to their own in life. They probably look forward to, or even depend on that time together every week”. I wonder if it was maybe a funny bet or promise, or having to wash each other’s cars, something of that sort between them years ago, maybe when the kids left home... So cute 🥰

I read, possibly in the Kitty Kelly book, that Queen Elizabeth hated smoking because that is what killed her Father. She did put up with Margaret smoking although I think she didn't want Prince Phillip or others smoking around her. Great Morning! Thank you Shauna❤️

The 10-minute, naked vitamin D shot really made me giggle 😅😅😅

[@witchygal2703]

Whackadoodles! New vocabulary for me haha! Love it!

[@valwright3699]

Hey! If you could create a free membership area you could call it 'Friends With Benefits' 😊. On a different topic I would love to see like minded KZbinrs trend an "I stand with William the Prince of Wales and Catherine the Princess of Wales" movement. There seems to be a groundswell on KZbin along these lines, but how can we make it grow more quickly? The duplicitous duo AND the MSM need to know that their deranged, disgraceful, bullying will not be tolerated by decent, good, right thinking people. ❤🇬🇧 X

[@Maureen-cc3pl]

It probably wouldn’t be a good idea to call it “Friends with Benefits”. That term is frequently used to describe sexual encounters between friends who are not currently in a regular relationship. I don’t think that’s what either you or Shauna have in mind.

[@valwright3699]

@@Maureen-cc3pl Thanks for looking out for us. That was me larking around. Shauna talked about the benefits of membership and we're all friends on this site. So... Tadaaa! Oh well, it amused me anyways.

[@KeiPalace]

It takes a lot of time and effort to build up these social media campaigns, and money, I would rather people banded together to fund a charity promoted by the Princess, that's positive, does good, would truly make her happy and it's not puffery and performance like a certain couple we've heard of.

[@user-yi5eh1ki4b]

Unfortunately, decent people are in the minority right now.😞

[@therealgigi_]

Yes Queen Victoria also had a dollhouse. It is in Kensington palace now. Queen Mary's dollhouse had little miniature books and miniature everything . Those books are really printed books!!! 😅😂 It looks so intricate and detailed.

[@thevintageread]

Wonderful!

[@bunEmom]

I loved the humor of the female physician telling you to go outside *naked* for Vit D, only to find out she was just joking!! We'd hear that type of humor in a rural area in the states, but *never* in an urban area. I love the informality & sense of fun of the Aussies😊

[@gillbellingham]

They could get him and Archie to make waffles on the maker his granny allegedly bought Archie for his first Christmas 😂

[@angeliquehammond2996]

The vitamin D deficiency is real. Our doctor told us to get direct sun as part of our protocol treatment for the virus of C. I was an esthetician, I’ve always used sunscreen but now I am pretty relaxed about it. Sip!

[@susansturdevant1299]

Enjoyed your chat about about Vitamin D - my doctor advised me to take Vit D to help avoid osteoporosis. Have been taking for last 5yrs and am 73yrs old with no issue with osteoporosis. May be avoiding the sun means less risk of skin cancer, but taking Vit D orally is good too.

[@staciroberts5779]

I love the Gossip Before Bed. Here’s my take on MM’s new lifestyle show. (I have published previously): MM: “…Now, while that’s cooking, we can set the tablescape starting with the flowers. Let’s gather our supplies. After marrying my Prince and destroying our two families, I unwind by arranging flowers. I use these $900 pair of secateurs (because pruners are too common). And you will want these thornless variety of roses that are a bargain at $300 - we don’t want a thorn prick to ruin our manicures - and finally this $500 leaded crystal vase filled with the tears of my enemies… Don’t worry about having to source these. They are all available for purchase on my website…” Sip!

My son had freckles. We were visiting San Francisco on holiday and a lady selling drinks told him that he was special because an angel had kissed him. I thought that was a nice thing to say.

🧤Fart in a mitten 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣No, never heard of that before!!!

[@kj6146]

I had to explain to my husband that you say "sip"...which is an important fun part of watching your videos.....I didn't tell him the glass of white wine wasn't compulsory. Love your work and please don't stop your "sip" 😂❤

[@thevintageread]

😁

[@valcarter-fe3wu]

Hi, Shauna. I think that saying is meant to be a 'fart in a midden ' A midden was the word for an ALL SORTS of rubbish dump, therefore a fart among such a stink would not be noticed. Only discovered you a few months ago, but am now addicted. Love a 'gos,' a chat, and your book reviews. You brightened my English winter days ❤

[@susanmaxwell6033]

I thought so too

[@susanread2637]

Another giggle filled gossip to give my day a light, happy start. Thank you, Shauna. Cheers and sip (water this morning) from Canada 🇨🇦

[@lindagear9014]

Regarding the lighthouses, BBC Radio4 last thing at night before going over to the World Service, The Shipping Forecast, the same feeling, lying tucked up in bed listening to this, all the shipping areas around Britain, it is very rhymic and always follows the same order and pace. Very soothing, many a Brit drifts off to sleep to it and also the BBC announcer wishing you a safe and peaceful night. Love it.

[@dawnc1419]

I bet TOW is flipping out right about now because everyone can see that the current Princess of Wales is being hunted like the last Princess of Wales.... Could Princess Catherine be anymore like Diana when it comes to being hunted by the media

[@KeiPalace]

Diana was hunted by paps, Princess Catherine is hunted on social media, one you can't hide from, one you can choose not to look and get on with your life. But I will say Catherine also had the pap hunting when she was dating Prince William, you can even see it on the Harkles docudrama (because they had no evidence of it happening to them)

[@Onyx7516]

“Maybe a tabloid newspaper” 😂 I must be just as immature as you are Shauna, because I was still giggling about the fart in a mitten when you mentioned the tabloid and it set me off again 😂

[@thevintageread]

We are naughty 😂

[@KeiPalace]

When the Harkles run out of money, you'll see an auction with the late Queen's waffle iron ... maybe a bracelet that went missing, Christmas corgi ornaments from the Palace hall tree ... good grief.

[@isabelwright8910]

It’s 5:30 am here in western Canada and hearing your giggle is a terrific start to my day. I will definitely try use “fart in a mitten” at the office today. Thanks for making me laugh before the sun rises! We are expecting another 30cm of snow today. Spring cannot come soon enough here in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Sip!

[@thevintageread]

SIP

[@laineymcd4074]

Please do tell us how it went.

[@PatSmara]

I think yr exptession " a fart in a mitten" is more likely to be a fart in a MIDDEN as in northern & northeastern English a midden is a dung heap or outside toilet! Generally a fart there is outclassed & of no importance!! Love yr hilarious videos!

[@gerwinbitter4968]

Prince Philip gave up smoking before they got married to please her. She did not appreciate smoking as her was died as a result of his habit.Princess Margaret smoked up to 60 cigarettes per day.

[@vdekkc]

Perhaps Chippy Welsh could let us know how she managed to end up there? Maybe they are reno’ing that lighthouse, or maybe they are reno’ing an old castle (wow)? Or maybe just an older goatherd (is there such a thing?) house. Whatever it may be, it sounds so interesting now. I’ll not forget about it now! Suppose she would?

[@margarethampson9490]

Harry could wash the dishes .🇬🇧

[@FAM-5214]

He could do a segment on invisible mending for previously loved tableware

[@HMF1950]

Oh Shauna, what a fun gossip (its morning for me and i'm having my coffee) this has been. I was not feeling my best, and found myself laughing out loud. Hope my neighbor don't think i'm crazy.😂 Anyway, as usual your humor mixed in with a great deal of insight was just what i needed. keep up the good work, and take care.

[@thesubparty1]

Wasn’t archetypes doing the same thing? Addressing issues that were solved or much more pervasive/relevant 30 years ago? Who didn’t admire Serena Williams ambition? Paris Hilton being a bimbo - which really she’s a heck of a lot smarter than Meg. I get she was just settling scores, but it all just seemed very stuck in the past and issues that have been worked through and we’re on to different ones now. Also I can’t “unsee” the old folks home of it all. It’s funny because the more she “reveals” of herself, she’s really a very odd person.

[@lisamcg93]

Absolutely nothing is authentic, it’s like she’s constantly in character for a role in a 70 year old play.

[@ellenrussell4612]

Yes exactly. She's always decades late. It's easier to plagiarize.

First time I’m awake! Morning Shauna, everyone! Switching to my TV.

[@jaynefretwell1546]

I’m watching a program about the Royal Palaces. (UK) In the Clarence House episode I think they said the Queen Mother smoked. She definitely liked a drink! She seemed a very fun sort of person - socially that is. She held full dinner parties outside with a massive mahogany table, crystal glass ware & candelabra! Excellent series of you can get it.

[@patshartigan5100]

I watched that too. Life at Clarence House sounded fabulous and great fun.

As a Kiwi I have always preferred Vegemite over Marmite and was so grateful when living in London over 30 years ago that it was readily available.

[@hughlorraine4716]

HI SHAUNA,You always look so nice. YES here in CANADA we have heard the expression “FART IN A MITTON” but it always referred to a small or skinny person. LIKE SHE’s no bigger then a fart in a mitten. IT did make laugh.❤️

I watched a royal commentator last night who said that the video had been verified by an American media outlet and was found to be genuine ..so the naysayers can run along . Kate is just fine .

[@user-gp7oq1kd3c]

My brother-in-law had my father-in law’s stuffed gorilla named Clyde. Dean used to take Clyde with him everywhere and sent us photos. Clyde has slept on the subway with a vagrant, painted Tom Sawyer’s fence, attended the Rose Bowl parade, TP’d our son’s car after his high school graduation and had many other adventures. I used to take the pictures to work and shared them with my co-workers. They loved them too!

[@lisalivingston6473]

Shauna, I had to laugh when you mentioned Archie's waffle maker that was gifted to him by Queen Elizabeth. We all know that Harry's wife will definitely find a way to incorporate it into her cooking show - LOL!

[@suzannegabrielle]

Just a few random thoughts so excuse the length of my post. As an American my take on Marmite vs Vegemite is that they're both awful. I've been to Oz 13 times in 10 years as my daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren live in WA. The kids love that stuff, and I shake my head when I spread the goo on the bread. And the only good thing I can say about Marmite is that's saved Britain from invaders since 1066. On the Vitamin D front, I read that there was an outbreak of rickets in Oz a few years back. This past summer in WA was brutal and there was no way you could do anything midday. My dad died of melanoma at the age of 39! So needless to say I pile on the sunscreen and stock up on it when I'm in your beautiful country. The Aussie sunscreen is the best in the world. Next time I visit and if I'm in your neck of the "woods," I'd love to buy you a coffee or even better - some Margaret River sparkling wine. Until then "Cheers" and "Sip."

[@julieogden1873]

I'm of the generation that I can remember watching Fanny Cradock cooking on British TV and husband Johnny was always in the background with a glass in his hand. Maybe this could be Harry's roll in the market cookery show

[@dorcas9114]

A local fart expression here is “Wanting to know the fine end of a fart and which way the wind blows “, generally referring to someone being nosy. The press is doing this over Princess Catherine at the moment.

[@margaretcollier1801]

Yes I use that expression quite frequently, north eastern expression.

[@alidabotes6264]

The 1st time I saw the "Save gas, fart in a jar" bumper sticker, I was in peak hour traffic. This is 40yrs ago. I had to creep closer to read it & when I looked up laughing, the guy in the car was watching me in his rear view mirror. I didn't blush bc he had a gorgeous smile & was quite yummy!

[@lizroberts1569]

Far end of a fart my Mother used to say to me when I asked too many questions
