Sorry for the Meghan Markle thread and DM link, but I have found this really amusing today.
Story out today saying Harry and Meghan apparently aren't spending Xmas with the Queen this year. Lots of comments below blaming Meghan, saying she's isolating Harry from his family, saying the Queen must be really upset. Everyone at work was chatting about it today saying similar.
Am I missing something? I mean we don't even know if it's true. But even if it is, aren't they entitled to spend Xmas as they please? She has her own mother she may want to see.
Ok I get that it's the Queen and it's the usual tradition but is it really a big deal?

It's nobodies business but theirs but the press won't leave them alone. The DM are still not happy that Harry didn't marry Chelsey Davy or someone like her. They will just pick away at them forever. It needs to stop.
It's all done so people won't think about the real injustice that's going on too I think.
Who really cares?
... so, yeah, YANBU.LaurieFairyCake · 13/11/2019 16:21
I think she's great and the comments are obviously loathsome
As a couple though I think they've made a mistake.
His grandmother/grandfather are very elderly now and if you can't go there and get help/care from the huge family and all the really well trained staff where can you go?
I can't imagine they'd have anything but a great time, they all seem to get on very well - particularly the younger lot.

It's a nightmare. I wished they would move abroad and stop getting tax payers money ( or whatever money they do receive) and just live their lives away from all this hassle and speculation.
William has his heirs and spares sorted out.
H arry and Meghan are way down the pecking order now. It's all silly nonsense.

When I saw the headline I actually pictured MM posting on here
"DH and I are being pressured by family to spend Christmas with his grandmother. Apparently that's what they always do. We've had a baby this year and things have been hectic. AIBU to just want Christmas with our own little family".

Certain press do not like Meghan and they dredge up every little thing to put her in a bad light. Kate was given a bad time once but is now their ' darling'. I remember the ' waity katey ' remarks and her lack of ' working for a living' but that's forgotten about now she's had children.
The press in this country are just vile.

I'm always a bit confused about how everyone marrying into the royal family absolutely has to spend Xmas en masse at Sandringham, and their own families can just get to fuck. Especially when children come along. Ghastly to have to spend the holiday with that motley crew.
And they have to suck it up with rictus smiles at church on Christmas Day. Some of them, anyway.
At the same time for the others who wouldn't miss it for the world do the dutiful thing it gives the impression that they're desperately toadying up to the queen and jockeying for position in the family pecking order. (To mix a metaphor or three. )

Certain members of the press have a vendetta against her and Harry.
It so sad when the press act like this, with the facts / publics right to know taking a secondary role to lies and their hatred.
This is the reason why the public want the press held up to account, but then censorship is used as a defense.
