    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 1: September-December 2020

    I wonder if the "I Love You California" print was brought to Meghan's attention by Elton John's decorator - he has been reported as being recommended to style their new home, Countessmeout. Seems more likely to be the Duchess's taste to me though. And if you saw the "paint swatches" on the...

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Charities and Patronages

    A new video chat by the Duchess - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8725331/Meghan-Markle-joins-video-call-mark-anniversary-sell-charity-clothing-collection.html About Smart Works. (Maybe the wrong thread moderators, news or patronage ... sorry.) What is that on the mantelpiece?

    Noozhawk is a great source of information about the Duke and Duchess's new area TLLK - they have a very active facebook, updated regularly. I also like the Montecito Journal, published online each Wednesday. The people behind both seem like very down to earth types. The Journal staff say their...

    Someone must have read your question Somebody. :lol: A repeat of an article about the Duke's friend visiting him - before the move from the Beverly Ridge house to the Rockbridge Rd home. A few more details, but this was reported at the time - I remember because I posted it. Anyway, there is...

    I've been watching that too HereditaryPrincess. Australia has sent fifty-five firefighters to help - experienced managers and men who can help with the logistics. (More than just fifty-five more bodies to tackle the flames.) The area has been affected by smoke haze, but the fires themselves...

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 1: September-December 2020

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's move to Montecito may have coincided with major changes to the Santa Barbara/American Riviera area, brought about by Covid. Always a semi-rural though moneyed place - one of the first three locations in the US to establish a polo club - it's nature may be...

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 1: September-December 2020

    So many Sussex friends have been seen around Montecito, I think the Duke and Duchess must be having a busy, busy social life. David Foster, and his wife Katharine McPhee, have been photographed there just these last days. And have been seen entering a house a few doors away from Harry and...

    General News about the Sussex Family, Part Three: August-September 2020

    As quickly as photos of the house have been taken off real-estate websites, fans have been creating blogs about the property, MaiaMia. :lol: Even some photos taken by locals who had a wander up the private - but not gated - road have been put on the internet. There is a harrowing first hand...

    General News about the Sussex Family, Part Three: August-September 2020

    The Duke and Duchess are getting out and about a bit in their new surrounds. First going to Hill Top Farm/Santa Barbara Stables in Carpinteria for the backyard chat filming, and now they have been snapped dining outdoors at a restaurant. Looks like an evening meal rather than lunch with the...

    General News about the Sussex Family, Part Three: August-September 2020

    Coming from Mr Scobie, I believe it. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be spending considerable time back in the UK next year ... all being well with Covid. The un-veiling of the Diana statue in the sunken garden at Kensington Palace on the birthday of his mother will be attended by Prince...

    A photo of the beautiful home of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in "Santa Barbara" magazine, prior to their purchase of it. Double-page photo - three pages in. https://issuu.com/santabarbaramag/docs/spring16digitaleditionrev2 I won't be suprised to see Meghan on the cover on this publication...

    General News about the Sussex Family, Part Three: August-September 2020

    The video of the Duchess of Sussex and Ms Steinem chatting clearly showed post and rail fencing to the left of Meghan. Even the horse jumps were showing. Harry and Meghan's new home does not have these facilities. Some media reported the backyard chat gave a glimpse of the Sussex home, but the...

    I don't know about the "Meghan Mirror" site evolvingdoors, but a lot of websites no longer have photos up - real-estate websites and Pinterest sites. I just came across a site with fifty HD photos. Some familiar and some "new" - different parts of the garden, different angles of some of the...

    Surprised to see some very clear floor-plans of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Montecito home have sprung up on the internet. Previous ones were un-readable. Taking down photos from some websites is of little use - from a security point of view - compared with this.

    Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of A Modern Royal Family

    I don’t understand ... ... “this girl” from William - not okay. ....”this woman” from Harry - okay, no problem. The rules some people have for others, vs the rules they have for themselves, make them hard to relax around. Good to be off the egg-shells back at the palace now I guess.

    Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of A Modern Royal Family

    Mr Scobie has revealed that the Duke of Sussex is "intending to open up about his own racially-insensitive behaviour" of the past - the Nazi outfit and name-calling in the army. That's a good decision. Hope it is done well and helps the Sussexes move forward, and doesn't backfire on them...

    Yes, Harry and Meghan have certainly added to their own "woes" and in many ways. I wonder at what stage does interest in them die down - or will there never be that stage. Will they forever be on the radar. They are - and are now in a position to be - more unpredictable than anyone else from...

    I really like it too Tarlita, the house itself, the grounds - that terrace area with the roses, the tea-house by the waterway - the Montecito area with mountains and on the sea. To me it seems like such a dream place for anyone, let alone a place to raise your child. I think some in the media...

    Yes Durham, a very dry area it seems from what I've read. A lot of desert plants, cacti and succulents, lots of palms and such, in the photos of my book about Santa Barbara homes. And fires a real risk which then leads to mudslides from the mountains behind - when the vegetation is burnt away...
