All year, the Daily Mail has been churning through old stories about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. I’ve been calling it “The Mail Remembers” series. I’ve used some of the stories to remind newcomer fans about the years of Sussex lore and correct the pretty obvious lies which are still being told about Harry and Meghan. Well, given Prince William and Kate’s weeks-long absence, the Mail has been doing a lot of “remember when” pieces recently Over the weekend, they decided to remember when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex last brought their children to the UK: June 2022, just a few months before QEII’s passing. QEII invited the Sussexes to join in on some of her Jubbly celebrations, and QEII and Charles both got to see Archie and Lili. Of course, none of that is being remembered by the Mail. Instead, they’re once again claiming that the British public booed the f–k out of the Sussexes at the Jubbly service at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
The ginger elephant in the room causing a headache for the planners was Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, as tensions were high following their decision to attack the Royal Family in their Oprah interview in March 2021. Therefore, to avoid any awkward moments within the estranged family, seating arrangements for the service to honour Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years on the throne at St Paul’s Cathedral had to be carefully designed.
Things were especially torturous between William and Harry, and officials took great care to avoid repeating the frosty scenes when they sat near each other at their last joint event in March 2020 at Westminster Abbey. They did manage to avoid a bust-up by ensuring they arrived and left at different times and sat on separate sides of the aisle in a carefully orchestrated plan.
However, even the best-laid plans cannot account for one thing – the behaviour of the public. As when Harry and Meghan walked down the steps at St Paul’s Cathedral, they were met by the unmistakable sound of the crowd outside booing them. In fairness, there were some cheers as well but their appearance caused a noticeable stir within the crowd, as the audio from the two live video feeds at the service picked up the din.
Sky’s Kay Burley said at the time she wasn’t sure if there were ‘more cheers or more jeers’ while MailOnline’s man on the ground reported both cheers and whistles. An AFP video of the couple leaving the service carried some audible boos alongside more supportive noises. Others said that the cheering for Prince William and Kate was ‘the biggest of the day by some margin’.
Royal correspondent Richard Palmer noted: ‘There was a loud reaction from the crowd to the arrival of Harry and Meghan: a mix of boos and cheers. Our correspondent outside says what sounded like a mixed reaction had turned into a clear cheer by the time the Sussexes had reached the top of the steps.’
Sky News commentator Rhiannon Mills, also present, said: ‘We were debating how many boos, how many cheers but I think also when you compared it to later arrivals there was a mixed reaction to them. Despite the fact they have stressed they have a huge amount of respect for the Queen, they are still in contact with her, the Queen has constantly stressed they are much-loved members of the family, the assembled crowd clearly had mixed feelings about them being here.’
I’m including the arrival and departure videos below – the cheers of excitement for the Sussexes can be heard upon their arrival, even with those fakakta bells ringing. By the time the Sussexes departed the cathedral, the tabloids must have gotten their plants in place, because you could hear some “boos” along with a lot of cheers. Interestingly, the tabloids never really picked up a theory I’ve seen circulated by pro-Sussex people, which is that Meghan wore some kind of slim-cut, lightweight armored vest under her Dior coat. I notice that Mail has no appetite to remember the huge f–king tantrum thrown by the British media when they realized that Harry and Meghan left the UK before the stupid Jubbly weekend was over. There were SO many royal commentators huffing and puffing about “why didn’t they go to the Jubbly concert??”

This article trying to make the Lazies feel better?
Yes. Wherever they may be.
The leftovers are Facing all those yellow sign holding protesters everywhere they go in the UK, but sure let’s remember that one time we we are sure we heard booing somewhere in that large cheering crowd 🙄..
Some said that the booing was for Boris Johnson as he arrived at the same time. remember reading the Daily Express at the time and they were actively encouraging people to boo Harry and Meghan. The press are there to report the news, not make it.
This is absolutely true. I had three friends there, separately, all pretty close to the arrivals. They all said there were *some* boos for the Sussexes but the majority, and loudest, boos were for BoJo. And all three are big monarchists so they wouldn’t be just saying that.
I think the royal rota are just really disappointed As Ever is a hit so they have to drag put all the old dirt to soothe themselves.
Have we had any recent stories about their wedding? Because they’re really reaching now with the faux outrage articles. I get that the derangers will never stop deranging but isn’t it time to move on to fresh pastures? I guess not.
Like I said yesterday about the coronation article…..the Jubbly from June 2022? Almost 3 years ago? That Jubbly? That’s what we’re talking about?
Obvious hate campaign is obvious.
I do like how even in this article they can’t pretend it was all boos. They’ve got Palmer and Burley admitting there were a fair amount of cheers.
What’s hilarious is that there was definite and obvious booing for Boris Johnson which you noticed watching online. It wasn’t noticeable at all for Harry and Meghan. Only some sections seemed to hear it.
Some sections, the tabloid journalists
I think my favorite part was when they vaguely reference that others say cheering for the wales couple was the biggest by far. Lol, idk that could very well be true but “others” saying it is some sketchy sourcing.
All the left behind royals are getting booed when they announce their events beforehand and don’t ship school children to the place for crowd. Like clear, loud boos. If that happened to H&M, the tabloids would run the video, audio of it in every story about them.
Still trying to re-write history. I believe there were protesters there with not my king signs? But yeah let’s blame those boos on the Sussexes lol.
It was for the Queen’s jubilee not Charles’s coronation. There wasn’t a king yet.
Apparently my reading comprehension has hit the skids lol.
That’s an interesting theory on the slim cut vest. It makes sense actually.
That Dior coat dress though. She really knew how to dress to impress on these occasions. Flawless. 🥰
Girl facts. Absolutely stunning.
I agree that there was an vest under that Dior coat, thankfully it wasn’t necessary. The fit was bulky and looked a bit uncomfortable. I’d love to see Meghan in that coat again but without the vest underneath. It must have been very scary walking through a crowd and into the Abbey not knowing what sort of reception you’d get? Meghan was very brave.
She is too good for that dysfunctional RF.
This entire article reads like simultaneously a digital pacifier to the remaining senior royals, and a reminder to the public who may be getting ” ideas” with their recent enjoyment of WLM and As Ever that the British media maybe a tad unhinged. Basically, we HATE them remember, remember??!!!
I don’t understand how these articles are still in any way effective. Even the casual ” haters” have to acknowledge at this point that they are not trying to compete with the BRF and haven’t mentioned them directly since the Spare media tour two years ago. Being upset that someone has a successful business that doesn’t cost me any money is a you problem.
A digital pacifier to the remaining senior royals! Omg that really true. You know they sit with the tabloids over breakfast every morning and yes these articles are used as their self-soothers. Combine it with yesterday’s article about Queen Camilla’s anniversary and they can blissfully start their day in la la land.
If I recall and boos were more likely in reaction to the appearance of Boris Johnson at the time.
Same.
As they say, “recollections may vary” rats 😂
Watching it online the boos were very obvious when Boris showed up. That was the only instance. If there was one person booing H and M you couldn’t hear it from the online broadcast feed.
Perhaps the DM doesn’t recall that W and K were booed in Boston.
An inconvenient fact!
That was not only very audible but also on the Jumbotron. They were each booed as each couple entered Westminster Abbey just recently, including Will and Kate but I guess a possible booing from years ago is more interesting to them.
Aw another remember when segment. There were huge cheers for Harry and Meghan. And sure a few boos but they were so odd in how they were heard. Almost as if a plant was making sure to boo near a media camera, just saying. But it sure was nothing like the boos heard at the coronation or many other royal events since then. No comparison actually. Perhaps the Mail could remember that. Also, we can all remember that epic walk that Harry and Meghan did down the church aisle. Iconic. And was that when the cameras caught Kate sitting in the pew and very obviously craning her head to look back and huffing and rolling her eyes and saying something to William? Where are the lip readers and body language experts! Just another example of how Kate has absolutely no chill in a church.
Not to mention the eggs! Have Harry or Meghan ever had people trying to egg them? I don’t know if that’s a recent thing for Charles but it was happening a lot a few years ago.
Yes there are gifs of kate with her sour look and William didn’t bother to turn to look at them. He knows how to behave in church whereas this is another instance of Kate acting like a child in church.
Kate supposedly was adding the “common touch” to the RF since she was brought up by a “middle class family.” She behaves like a snob and can’t control her behavior in public.
I recall Sussex Squaddies who were actually there saying that the man reporting on the ground did exactly that but was shut down really quickly with audible cheers.
It’s hilarious – like they’re trying to soothe themselves over the butt-hurt of Meghan’s success. Like Grandma going though a scrapbook – “Remember when we were sure H&M would be broke and divorced and living in a cardboard box? Ahh, those were the good old days.”
I remember the icy look on Keen’s face as she turned and watched them come in and said something to William. Probably some catty remark from her.
Typical Lazy, always trying to provoke Willie’s ire, anger and resentment.
They really deserve each other – they bring out each other’s worst traits. Sucks to be them.
It’s interesting that no one who was outside the cathedral could discern whether they were boos or cheers. It was probably cheers but the press wouldn’t want the public to believe that they were cheered.
Peg’s probably obsessed with cheers and boos the way Trump is obsessed with crown size, lol.
Do I remember the Sussexes being booed? No. Do I remember Willy and Keener getting fired live on camera during their last, weird colonial cosplay Caribbean tour? Do I remember the disgrace of cobbling family pictures to make a fake proof of life photo for Keen and Wails dragging their kids into an international scandal because they used their kids as a prop in the stunt? Do I remember Willy piggybacking off Keener’s “illness” to continue to slack off despite the Duchy money when his father’s illness was announced? Yeah. I remember all that. Why do the people that left and are never coming back continue to get fed to the press when the lazy slumlord who rarely shows up and directly costs the tax payers tens of millions continue to be coddled?
I mean, getting fired on live TV by the PM of Jamaica is an epic fail for the global statesman.
Bureaucrats in the Foreign Office should have been panicked by that. The Lazies are bad, bad juju for international diplomacy.
If I remember correctly, there was an American network commentator who said on air that people booed when someone/something blocked Harry and Meghan and the crowded starting cheering when H & M came into their view. The British media don’t know the truth if it bit them.
Yes! I vaguely remember @eholmes on Instagram discussing how there was a bus blocking the crowd’s view, leading to cheers/boos as it made its way through the area when the royals arrived. Always wondered why this wasn’t discussed more.
My parents were actually there and actually saw the 2 dudes running around trying to get boos going and people were annoyed with them! Everyone cheered like a rock concert when H and M came out and my mom says the outfit was far more lilac in person, but photographed white.
I want to remind everyone that there has never been any confirmation from Harry or Meghan that Charles met Archie and Lilibet during the Jubilee. The only people who have said that it has happened are people who have leaked lies about Harry, Meghan and their children to the same media that has attacked them. The Jubilee wasn’t in Windsor near their former home and the Queen provided them with her security. I have a hard time believing that the POS grandfather who took away their security and eventually their only safe place to stay while in the UK would 1) care enough to see the children that he was concerned about the skin tone of 2) not leak photos or more detailed information about meeting them and 3) let it be disclosed to the media about the whereabouts of the children so that much desired photos of them could be taken. This is the same POS grandfather who didn’t go to Lilibet’s first birthday party that was in the same country and scheduled his Conanation on Archie’s birthday. Nothing about who Charles is as a husband, father, FIL or grandfather lines up with him meeting them during the Jubilee.
Yeah, I’m with you on this. I don’t know that I believe they met Lili at all. It was said they met v briefly but I don’t believe it. Just bc harry hasn’t publicly called this lie out doesn’t mean that it’s true.
I still hope that there were photos of the two Lilibets taken. I could see not releasing them because they were personal and private and not worth the headache of the press reaction. But that they release one on Lili’s sweet 16 or something.
And you know Charles would’ve released one if there was one.
Yes, that would be nice too but I can imagine these to be moments for no public consumption.
IIRC rats and the grey men were up in arms about such a potential photo because that would be the front page on every tabloid and would destroy Chuck and Willie’s mind. Their narrative was The Sussexes were going to sell this photo to the highest bidder. Again, such projection. The Sussexes aren’t gauche but the grey men and the rats sure are. And greedy.
@Nerd
What Charles says is not facts, but creating his own image. It was the same when Harry and Meghan visited Elizabeth before Invictus in Holland. NO ONE knew about it, probably only the most trusted person from the Queen’s circle, or maybe Eugenia helped. I don’t know that, but I do know that there was no leak and if Harry hadn’t said it when they were already in Holland, no one would have known to this day. The palace reacted with shock to this information. They literally panicked, and Charles came off as an idiot that the mother and son had hidden it from him. It’s obvious who’s leaking:)) When they excluded William and Kate, Charles and Camilla, there were no leaks.
But Charles wanted to show everyone that he was in on the case, and saw his son and his wife, which was a lie. He was in church at the time, he found out about HM visit from the media, and no lies will change that
Meghan’s ensemble is perfection.
Harry might have wanted her to wear a protective vest. He’s rightly so protective of her.
Meghan looked great. Elegant, classic, and modern at the same time. As soon as I looked at her, I knew she was wearing a waistcoat. I commented on it somewhere, and they laughed at me for being paranoid. 🙂 But you could see it with the naked eye. It looked a bit stiff and tight, and it wasn’t a matter of fit, because you could see from the cut that the coat had some slack, which was now filled in and some additional, protruding elements stood out. Rota wrote that Meghan was wearing a wiretapping. :))))) Besides, Harry could have had one too. Apart from the thick waistcoats from the movies, there are also very thin ones that are easier to hide. I’m not surprised at all. Since they left, there has been a lot of hate, there were earlier announcements of attacks, I don’t know about the anniversary, but it was wise to protect yourself.
Yup Kevlar vests are becoming thinner each year. And Meghan needs one if she steps out in the UK again.
They supposedly have the two most popular members of the Royal family who are working royals – the future queen and the heir to the throne – and they cannot get Meghan and Harry’s names out of their mouths. It’s complete insanity.
So what if they had a few boos in the Uk, no one cares except the BM. It’s 2025 and The salty island are still salty that WLM and Ms products are doing extremely well – without the firm or anyone from the other side of the pond. Love it!
Simple me remembers—— that wank left his wife behind in the church and couldn’t get down those steps fast enough away from her .How about the mail write a remembrance article on that . Feel free to include all the times he balls his fist around her, snarls at her or completely ignores her . Puts his finger in her face . Acts like she is part of the wall paper. So many occasions to write about. The mail Could get an entire summer worth of writing material out of this alone
