Apparently the queen is considering taking legal action to stop the verbal attacks on the royal family.

Have you got a link? I am sick today and feel this could keep me entertained informed.

If it's true then in all honesty, I think it's fair enough. They're slinging mud and telling 'their story' yawn to the highest bidder and making money, and, what seems like trying to make stabs at the RF.

If a RF member wrote a book about Meghan's bullying or Harry's early years of drugs, alcohol and girlfriends etc ... or more private skeletons in their closet we know nothing about, then H&M would be straight into their lawyers I'm sure

Well, if it's in The Sun, it must be true!

I'm taking all this with a large pinch of salt, especially the 'right to reply' bit which doesn't make sense. But did like the idea that if they breached someone's right to a private life, it might be actionable

I think it is the only way she feels that she can protect the future of the monarchy. I feel so sorry for her with this and Prince Andrew, she shouldn’t have to deal with this at her age.

Well I guess it is a good distraction from the Prince Andrew situation for the Royal Family and very predictable that they would do something like this to take the spotlight off him.

Mummyoflittledragon · 23/08/2021 06:02

This is correct. It was reported yesterday.

Are you saying you don’t think the Queen should’ve defend herself @Volterra?

Mummyoflittledragon · 23/08/2021 06:02

*shouldn’t

Billandben444 · 23/08/2021 06:11

I would think H&M's attacks on the RF are like pin pricks to HM alongside the Andrew train crash and she's just warning them what will happen if they don't button it for a bit - there's only so much she can deal with at one time. She's flicking them off like a piece of lint - 'behave children or it'll be the naughty step for you both'. That's if the reports of legal action are true of course.

KidneyBeans · 23/08/2021 06:16

Totally predictable media distraction from PA

The media attacks on Meghan and Harry will increase every time the pressure is on. They're a convenient scapegoat whilst the Queen shelters her soon who socialised with trafficked girls and a sex offender.

Port1aCastis · 23/08/2021 06:16

Is this more media bullshit, can't see the Queen ringing the Sun and disclosing her private legal stuff, anyway I think H&M are media scapegoats to distract from Andrew being sued.

I totally agree.

Allegedly threaten legal action against Harry Megan but protect Andrew.

Nothing more than a distraction to the whole sorry mess that is Andrew. After all it's worked before.

The Queen has had a long reign and over the years has had faced a lot of problems over the years which she has dealt with dignity. She is now faced with 2 serious situations which she has little control over.
She is probably worried about the future of the monarchy with 1 member facing serious legal allegations and others threatening to disclose nobody knows what when she dies of course she has to act.

Well considering the monarch is 'the figure in whose name justice is carried out, and law and order is maintained.' She probably shouldn't be harbouring a potential fugitive.

Either she takes in public money because she does her duty and upholds the law or she should step down.

Not cast out her grandson for protecting his wife and children from his racist, family who associate with child abusers

What's the rationale for insisting PA keeps his military title as colonel in the Riyal guards whilst stripping Harry of his?

It's a tone-deaf personal favouritism and not in the public interest

When the "child" is a 60yo man who's repeatedly refused to talk to the authorities I'd at least be encouraging him to make some phone calls and answer a few questions Hmm
stepupandbecounted · 23/08/2021 07:09

It is about time that the RF took the attacks from M&H seriously.

The very idea that the H&M are going to suddenly going to have a change of heart simply because they called their child Lilibet (which is a publicity stunt anyway) is for the birds, M&H intend to make as much money and publicity out of the RF as possible, it is the only way they can produce the kind of billionaire lifestyle they aspire to, even if that means a serious effort to destroy the royal family from the inside out (via Harry)

Harry (his childhood, his family and his entire life) is being/and going to be used in more extreme ways as they run out of content as a vehicle to extract as much financial gain as possible. Harry's life has been reduced to cannon fodder.

The best defence will be through legal channels and total silence. The RF should cut them both off with immediate effect, and get very tough. The civil and open door strategy did not work.

Tuscancat · 23/08/2021 07:14

HM could take PA honorary military roles away. Why he gers to keep them when Harry didn't is beyond me. Frankly they are all awful but HM sheltering PA is beyond d the pale. She is making some terrible decisions at the moment.

Do you think that M&H timed the book so this could happen then?

Because this seems to be entirely reactive from the Royal Family (if indeed it is true at all) and the book and the timing of the book (and press releases about it) entirely from H&M and their publishers

Theunamedcat · 23/08/2021 07:16

He really isn't a potential fugitive america has said that want to speak to him but haven't been forthcoming

another thing is of they speak to him they then have to speak to Clinton trump etc so maybe they don't actually WANT to open this can of worms

plus trump and Clinton are actually in America and they have made zero efforts to speak to them

So American incompetence at its finest or are they just not bothered about it ihe just another bystander?

Harry and Megan should just get on with making money and stop trading on the RF status then the Queen wouldn't need to do/say anything

Umm... there isn't an active lawsuit against Trump, Clinton etc or a trafficked woman who has accused them of sexual assault

The situations are pretty different Confused

Trymp and Clinton etc went to the island with the trafficked women they were knee deep with him too the law suit is a civil matter and if I had a choice I would sue the royal family over trump anyday they woukd rather pay you off trump will drag you through court

KidneyBeans · 23/08/2021 07:26

He's being served court papers under The Hague convention in a case of sexual assault against a minor, and hiding behind his mum to avoid it

A real life real demonstration of class and dignity Hmm
