I’ve just watched the Commonwealth ceremony. It was glorious and couldn’t have been more diverse.

I really can't believe anyone would think the commonwealth something to celebrate Confused

Millions of people around the world disagree with you 🤷‍♀️

It’s been a year since they quit and moved , but they still haven’t moved On. the RF should be yesterday’s news to both H&M, but instead they are still using it to their advantage ?

I don’t get how they want to creat a positive content on Spotify or Netflix then go on Oprah and talk about your In-laws family Confused.

And millions do. Shocking really that people can have differing opinions and views isn't it.

Well Meghan was keen enough on it to have all the emblems of the countries embroidered on her wedding veil.
Feedingthebirds1 · 07/03/2021 18:20

The RF offered them a less showy wedding, time to settle in etc but H&M wanted a giant fanfare and to ‘hit the ground running’.

I do suspect that Harry wanted, both for himself and for Meghan, to have a wedding on the scale of William and Katherine's, with all the glitz and the TV coverage and the fabulous guest list. Me too! Me too! FOMO!

Not to me but I wasn’t the one who couldn’t believe anyone would think the Commonwealth was anything to celebrate.

VladmirsPoutine · 07/03/2021 18:26

Well @Alsohuman I should have said I find it abhorrent. Celebrating colonialism. Honestly they should be talking about reparations, not having some Africans dancing in their traditional dress.

On a side note, I think they know the new baby will be a girl and will call her Diana...

This was posted on another thread.

You might want to check out the full version (rather than the edited clip) of DW before referencing him in defence of H&M.

It's also rather ironic in choosing to believe "one" sentence a tabloid journalist has said whilst dismissing everything else as lies and vitriol.

He's no friend whatsoever to H&M and in the full version of that piece displays imho a very naive (at best) understanding of racism.

@ChocolateSantaisthebestkind

She's staring at Kate, there are other examples too. She realised too late that Harry was the 'wrong' brother. She thought the RF were all equally influential. Harry is pissed he is not a top player either, both as bad as each other.
There's definitely a vibe of this running through all their petulant stropping about how hard done by they are.

twitter is a shithole of ranting nutjobs, questionable feeds, bullshit agendas and paid for bots that do a lot of damage to the easily influenced and hard of thinking. Best ignored until its backed up with evidence in the broadsheets. Which is why I come to MN for calm, sensible discussion GrinGrinGrin

The H&M supporters slating the commonwealth would do well to remember that until recently, Harry was President of the Queen's Commonwealth Trust, was a commonwealth youth ambassador and Meghan was patron of the commonwealth universities group. They will have been very proud of those honours and very much wanted to hang onto them. If this had all gone Harry's way, he would have been speaking at today's event.

Fantastic. I am not a royalist and neither a supporter of H&M as such. Were it not for the vitriolic racist abuse Meghan received and receives I really couldn't give a shiny shit about the Royals. I can't celebrate the commonwealth because frankly the idea of celebrating an empire which violently and ruthlessly colonized and pillaged land, resources, artefacts from these places is nothing to celebrate. That it has been rebranded as some sort of kumbaya annual event in which we're supposed to dance and sing along to our freedom is utter nonsense.

redspecial · 07/03/2021 18:56

..an empire which violently and ruthlessly colonized and pillaged land, resources.. coming from a poster called Vladimir Poutin that is really fucking funny.

Blueberries0112 · 07/03/2021 18:56

I am sure the firm approving it is false as well.

And If Meghan was starring (not sure where this occurred) , more likely she thinks Kate is very pretty and looks nice because I have a habit of doing thay

I hardly ever go on it, but going by this quote you may be right:

"The Most High God will vindicate the Sussexes and they’ll prevail over their enemies in Jesus name"

Where do they FIND these people?? Grin

When King George abdicated over Wallis, the next in line of succession was his brother, the Queens father

Edward abdicated over Wallis Simpson bazookas - and the throne went to his brother (George VI) because he had no children - legitimate or otherwise as far as anyone is aware.

Sprining · 07/03/2021 19:03

Apparently MM could open a rift and reveal how badly Kate behaved, towards her sister in law. This would reflect very poorly on the RF. But sources say they are going to rise above it and say kind words. Quite gracious.

MagicSummer · 07/03/2021 19:09

Why does anyone think Kate has an axe to grind with this woman? She is in a much better position as future Queen Consort.

Exactly! She's been there far longer than MM. She'll be the future Queen Consort. She has 3 children and one of them will be the next monarch.

Because they have nothing to who for it? Nice spin!
Sprining · 07/03/2021 19:13

MM is prettier, more attractive, more charismatic, already had a career and a great circle of friends (who were not trying to sleep with her husband) and a doting husband.

Jealousy I guess about the dazzling newcomer.

I agree completely, but the Queen seems to like it (she can pretend she still has an Empire like mummy and daddy did) and the various nations seemed keen to join (they can get priority for support)

Then there's this thecommonwealth.org/public-debt-management-programme which is no doubt useful if someone finds their ruler's siphoned off the budget into their Swiss bank account

Than? Hmm

Dazzling? Give over. He's never been anything but the spare and way down the line.
