Meg and Harry supporting race and mental health charities in UK

[Sprining]

Brilliant to hear this. They have approached three charities in UK including Mind and a charity to increase diversity in the media and press.

Great, doing good based on their experiences.

@Marmaladeagain

Yes it's just a derailment tactic to try to get threads deleted. Shut down debate. Don't like inaccuracies on what the RF's role is in UK.

Kept happening last week, some interesting posts on the threads and the same posters kept turning up to announce "Mumsnet should really take the thread down now"....after me and others ignoring being called racist and bigots throughout and just rolling with it.

Always best not to rise to the usual insults as what is wanted is loads of deletions so the thread can't be read clearly. Again there's lots of interesting points made on this thread.

very astute and agree. The OP perhaps thought this thread would be a love-in for H&M.....which it hasn't turned out to be....

@RubyViolet

Nobody is undermining Oprah, she is an astute business woman. A sharp as a tack self made billionaire! This relationship with H&M is an incredible business partnership, she has played a blinder.

She is indeed an incredibly clever business women. I'm amazed anyone think she's giving them a platform to speak out of the kindness of his heart. They might now consider her to be their friend but she's clearly doing it for the money

DH used to be a director in media - he was pondering the business case for this interview and concluded it was an absolute coup for Oprah. Possibly not - in the long run - for the couple unless they got some very savvy advisers (PR and business).

If things were really that serious, then surely the queen would drop everything, hand over to Charles for a little bit while she pays a vigil by her husband' side. She would not be jokingly unveiling statues, preaching about vaccines etc.

What a horrible thing to say . You should be ashamed .

The UK charities I remember at the top of my head are with direct donations, never mind the association and platform of late
-Migrateful www.migrateful.org/about/ (Prouder of Jamie Oliver)
-CAMFED camfed.org/about/ American
-Presspad presspad.co.uk/ not a Charity

And there is also :

• The Covid 19 support for Feeding Britain feedingbritain.org/about-us/ No mention of Harry

-Martin Luther King day for vets militarybenefits.info/mlk-jr-day/ American

• Genesis Women www.genesisshelter.org/ American

All their charities/patronages are keeping them, except the Royal ones. So that will be
-Invictus covered already

• Sentebale covered already
• Rhino conservation rhinoconservationbotswana.com/ Not UK

-Wellchild www.wellchild.org.uk/about-us/our-patron/ but he cannot carry out the work now -Mayhew themayhew.org/who-we-are/our-patron/ Predates them leaving the UK -Smartworks covered already

So basically they are not doing anything for UK charities

because they live 6000 miles away

It's all about setting themselves up as America's 'royalty'.....the delusion is priceless

No, you should be ashamed ! You are the horrible one, using PP's health to justify your hate.

In your reverent hate for MM, you now poetry the queen as someone who puts duty over her husband. She WOULD drop everything if her husband's life was in the end. So would everyone.

She was well aware that he is having stent in a Cath lab, and would be kept in hospital longer, yes, because of his age.

His child(drew) went to see him as any child would.

Stop using PP for your baseless accussations.

You have merely surmised the 'reverent' hate' for MM....you have no basis for the claim!

Don't try to undermine with baseless statements :

Doesn't matter who they mention, they will mention everyone who helps at some time or the other.

The other was to the question of what they are doing. And my point was that they are working worldwide. Not jus the UK. Why do you think the UK should have a monopoly of all their help anyway.

The hate is on the posts, you don't have to look far.

Don't you find it just a tiny bit ironic that the selfless H&M are so willing to trash his family - causing arguably MH problems?

*poetry is actually portray

*children

They did not trash the family. The 'firm' trashed them. And the 'family' stood by and did nothing. Complicit.

The thing I find hard to comprehend is they are now publicly trashing Harry's family isn't that the exact same thing they complained about her family doing?

I suspect Harry's starter marriage will not last another 3/4 years... what will he do then? Return to the UK like the prodigal son?

Do you think he'd return to the U.K. without his children?

@MrsFin

Do you think he'd return to the U.K. without his children?

I don't know....what could he meaningfully do in the US?

@1234abzee

No, he will stay with her. It will only end if she drops him. He’s the type who needs a strong woman to follow. Like his great great uncle, the Duke of Windsor.

Elderly lady - hospital- covid

Nothing could go wrong there obviously

Philip and the queen use zoom, teams or whatever the royal version. The queen is a pro at it now. Philip slams the laptop shut to end a call😂

anyway, PC and D of Cornwall out and about today doing their duty....

The dog may bark, but the caravan moves on.....

If you read the thread title and the OP,
it purports that M&H are supporting charities in the UK

As you might have guessed by now, looking up Charity Governance is something I'm pretty good at.

I have no comment on Meghan or Harry as people.

I've made no comment about the personal lives of any other members of either of their families

what I have called out - repeatedly
is the lie that they are doing ANYTHING for UK charities
since they decamped to LA

I think we can safely say that the plans to engage with grassroots journalists and young voices in the media has been shelved at this point. You can’t get more mainstream than prime time Oprah on CBS.

I really understand why the US don't understand Harry's irrelevance in the UK going forward.

It would be the equivalent of the UK running a poll on a UK audience about why the Senate in US should be abolished. They might have opinions, but on the whole it will be wildly misunderstood. It's a whole different system.

I'm confident the truth will out in time. Harry is having the most explosive tantrum that he wasn't first born and can't run the show and make decisions. Every generation it happens.

Imagine if Richard III could have got an interview on Oprah back in the day - he'd be doing a good job of portraying himself as the victim towards questions about young Princes that were in the way of him and the crown. (Yes, I know in dispute and Shakespeare portrayal etc).

It's just a product of the time we live in and people two foolish enough to think Oprah is their friend. They are useful, when they aren't useful then they're not useful.

Just to clarify - so some don't get apoplectic - I have massive respect for the business Oprah built, but I really don't respect that style of TV in the slightest. It is insincere at its core.
