This is there top story. Meghan is using a cheap shawl & DM have found the factory it was made in.

She’s been criticised non stop for her spending, uses something cheap and the DM visit the sweatshop it was made in! I’m sorry but we are all guilty of this, very few people I’m sure track down where everything they buy is made and how much the staff are paid.

It’s just getting ridiculous how they’ll find literally anything to criticise.

If the DM want to expose sweat shops (something they care little about usually) they have the resources and man power to do so but they don’t give a shit they just want to go after Meghan.

@Puzzledandpissedoff

The other Royals don't wind people up the same way as they don't preach to us in the same condescending and patronising manner

Quite. I shall not allow myself to be talked down to by people like them for whom I have scant respect. Respect had to be earned and spending vast sums of money on fripperies, at the expense of the public purse, and showing hypocrisy of the highest order regarding the environment and animals, makes me feel even less able to tolerate them and their “causes”.

Re Prince Charles:
At least he is a future monarch unlike this vain and idle son and his similarly vain and idle wife.

NoTheresa · 02/08/2019 12:09

To clarify - Prince Harry’s wife.

NoTheresa · 02/08/2019 12:13

Mrs Sussex

🤣

Your horse has more air miles than I do.

This made me really laugh.

BertrandRussell · 02/08/2019 12:13

“ Her list of women in Vogue was laughable, how many people had heard of half of them?“

Grin Not sure where to start with this!

BertrandRussell · 02/08/2019 12:16

“Agree @BertrandRussell, it's the RSPCA after all.”

Yes. Their stand on various types of hunting and also on National Hunt is queasy as well....

Not exactly the sharpest tool in the box is our Harry.

Quite. The Queen must be cursing the advent of social media as the idiocy these days is refreshed every other day on our instagram feeds.

I guess there's a lot to be said about Meghan but I wouldn't say she's idle!

NoTheresa · 02/08/2019 12:32

Social media certainly does allow us to see them in their full glory. It is more than often an unedifying sight.

BertrandRussell · 02/08/2019 12:33

Yes, it’s another of those special Meghan things- she can be idle and constantly interfering

NoTheresa · 02/08/2019 12:34

Perhaps not idle when it comes to self-promotion, I concur.Smile

BertrandRussell · 02/08/2019 12:34

Sorry/posted too soon. You know what I mean.

SamanthaBrique · 02/08/2019 12:35

Yes @NoTheresa. Bastard.

BertrandRussell · 02/08/2019 12:36

“Perhaps not idle when it comes to self-promotion, I concur”

Oh come on. She does as many royal duties as any of the others. At least be accurate in your condemnation.

SamanthaBrique · 02/08/2019 12:36

It's like how she courts attention by going out AND by staying at home.

Lumene · 02/08/2019 12:36

YABU to link to a daily mail article then complain it is being written. This will only encourage people to read it and the DM to write similar articles in future.

TSSDNCOP · 02/08/2019 12:40

I’d like to read the articles about polo ponies, but cannot find links. Could someone link please?

SamanthaBrique · 02/08/2019 12:48

@BertrandRussell - Come on now. Let's not let facts get in the way of a good ol MM bashing.

Makes me cringe, watching all those people lined up looking in amazement at him. Nauseating reminder of our class system.
