to wish Harry and Meghan would stop holding hands when on official engagements

[FleetwithPike]

I think she is beautiful and he seems like a nice chap. I wish them a long and happy life with their child/ren.

But for the love of God, could they stop holding hands - they're not on a date, they're carrying out official business!

Makes me cringe, so it does.

Has anyone suggested she's a bot and that is the reason she needs her hand held?

My best guess is that they have secret squeeze hand signals so that they can bitch about events without anyone noticing.

Has anyone suggested she's a bot and that is the reason she needs her hand held?

So Harry’s not actually holding her hand, he’s just hiding the cord to recharge her?

Sounds plausible.

Really scary how much people are extrapolating from a simple hand hold! The vitriol and bitterness must come from something within yourselves, since I'm pretty sure Meghan has done nothing to personally affect you. It's one thing to roll your eyes and say "gee, they look silly" - but to claim she's fake, clinging to him, desperate, vying for attention, etc.? Seriously - what's wrong with you? Are your lives so deprived of joy this is the only way to compensate? Same with the people upset with people who can't stand people who drink coffee or water on the go.

I don't get it.

Also: this kind of react goes beyond an opinion. You don't even know these people, so to attach this much negative energy towards them is borderline psychological. They're not like the racist man on the plane. They're HOLDING HANDS. Yeesh.

*reaction

As long as they're carrying out their job I don't see the harm.
Love is lovely

Its bit posh and bex and unnecessary

Okay you’re deluded.
I think the problem Meghan has is that she makes some women feel inferior as she’s smart well educated and attractive.
She’s also self made unlike the royals or Kate Middleton.
Meghan has more in common with Kate’s mum who came from modest background but was constantly derided as being a social climber.
To add insult to injury she’s mixed race which makes It all the more annoying that she’s nabbed a Prince.
I remember a “ friend” getting enraged when the boy she had a crush on made it clear he liked me and although we never dated she started little digs about how black women tend to gain weight as they get older also his family wouldn’t tolerate mixed race kids etc.
It’s something other black friends have also mentioned, as long as you don’t steal the limelight from a mediocre friend your tolerated.
Meghan has this on a global scale!

Unfortunately I think some of the foaming at the mouth posters hold same opinions as the racist on the plane, online forum gives them anonymity to be loathsome

@LittleBookofCalm
You should try reading the book linked to your username

Ghanagirl, you should stop frothing at the mouth

I’m perfectly calm thanks💆🏾‍♀️
I still think you should try reading the little book or I find yoga helps if do get a bit stressed

Being completely honest Megan and Harry have softened my view towards the royals!

I am completely against having a monarchy in this country and loath the rich/poor class decide but I have found with M and H behaving as real humans with emotions that maybe having a monarchy isn’t such a terrible thing.

If think it helps to change the views of other countries that we aren’t the stuffy English with pompous, out of date attitudes.

If other countries feel more of a connection with our royal family then that will help tourism etc

With M and H connecting with children, the elderly, people with mental Heath issues, etc etc visibly then the general public feel more warmth and connection with them.
We need the general public in other countries to like our royal family.

I honestly think it would be an equally good thing for Kate and Wills this be slightly more demonstrative with each other as well as the general public.

It may all be an act with the Royals but at least it is more relatable behaviour.

I don't think many people are frothing...

Is it appropriate? I don't think so. As I said upthread, they're working. If I'm at a corporate event with my DH then we focus on the guests, not each other. well i do, he just looks bored and keeps checking his watch But maybe I'm an old fogey.

Do I care? Not really.

Because of this thread, I looked at an article with 55 more photos of them.
They were holding hands when walking around together, sometimes when sitting or standing. About half of the photos were of them engaging with other people, and doing their own thing. Sometimes even sitting next to each other and not holding hands.

So... I don't think they're not behaving appropriately at all.

What does “yeesh” mean?

Not even Posh’nBex do it any more. It’s a pointless show. And even they know that.

Sometimes even sitting next to each other and not holding hands. shock

trouble in paradise? (Is what the gleeful fault finding lot will be saying.)

So... I don't think they're not behaving appropriately at all.

I think one of you should read the sentence properly again and the other should catch up on sarcasm.

🤣

Or maybe I should too...

Double negative.

I only mentioned it because it is my expereince that people who are very affectionate in public don't tend to last, so rather than seeing them holdings hands as inappropriate for work, I rather see it as a sign of a relationship under pressure

We (DH and I) are not in the public eye but we've been 'faking it' and our relationship is 'under pressure' for over 20 years now. You're so right...So isn't going to last....breaking up any day now....

Fashion wise: I see Meghan had a stunning red dress on in recent photos. She looked amazing (as usual), but the baxtards at the daily mail have a photo with the tag attached....Harry looked pretty good too. Their baby is going to be a stunner.

Yes. In reply to a post saying they were not behaving appropriately (in different words).
It's different to say that I think they are perfectly appropriate, to say I don't think they are not behaving appropriately. The first says it's how they should behave, the second says it may not be great but it's not inappropriate.
Grammer, grammer...
