...is like something from an 80s daytime TV drama. Look at Harry! Wills struggling to hide his emotions. Kate wound-up tight, bound by duty and protocol. Everyone looking in the direction of events but, HELLO! Someone’s found the camera! Meghan with her sweet suggestion of a smile, saying ‘thank God I’m getting the hell out of this circus’!

I can imagine the photographer was very pleased when they saw what they’d captured.

Forgive me but why do you care? They are a drain on resources, we need to stop being obsessed with privilege.

Well they all look bored and who can blame them, but I’m not too fussed about any of them as who cares if they’re in Canada or wherever.

Camilla is smiling, Charles is looking straight ahead (different direction to where the others are looking). Seems like yet another anti-Meghan bias going on here...

ZacharyQuack · 10/03/2020 11:12

They’re all thinking “don’t shake hands, don’t touch my face”

managedmis · 10/03/2020 11:13

Look at Meghan! What's she playing at?

Poor old Wills

Windyatthebeach · 10/03/2020 11:14

Looks like a scene from Dynasty imo!!

TheFastandTheCurious · 10/03/2020 11:14

Look at Meghan! What's she playing at? Care to enlighten us?

mbosnz · 10/03/2020 11:15

It makes me very grateful I'm totally forgettable and unimportant, and therefore my family dramas are not played out on the world stage, for everyone to pick apart and gossip over.

AudacityOfHope · 10/03/2020 11:15

You're reading an awful lot into what are essentially expressionless faces.

That's how my face would look if I was forced into going to church by my gran...

Dreamersandwishers · 10/03/2020 11:17

I think what we are seeing is that Will is totally fed up of his brother in all this.
It’s so easy for us to blame Meghan, and it’s true she is Harry’s catalyst , but William knows that Harry is a grown man, making his own choices then hiding behind Meghan’s (very stylish) skirts.
If that was my sibling, I would have had a word too.

AutumnRose1 · 10/03/2020 11:19

I don’t understand your question

But good luck to Harry and Meghan, I say.

PenisBeakerDipper · 10/03/2020 11:20

They all look bored to me

BlackCatSleeping · 10/03/2020 11:20

Well, the tabloids were reporting that Harry and Meghan were pissed off they weren't part of the Queen's party going in, so Wills and Kate dropped out of being in the main group to appease them. It all sounds a bit drama llama to be honest. Harry looked grumpy throughout the whole event.

ElderAve · 10/03/2020 11:20

Who was talking at the time and what were they saying? It probably says more about that, although I agree the photographer has caught a very saleable picture, I doubt it's really what it looks like.

I dont understand why they were forced/allowed to do one last official engagement. What do they add by being there other than this sort of attention, which you'd think the RF would want to avoid?

FinalRoyalOuting · 10/03/2020 11:21

Harry’s face expressionless??! He looks like Will’s just stolen his favourite teddy bear! And Megan is staring right down the camera lens like the professional actress she is. I also think the intense colour of M & K’s dresses make for a beautiful photograph.

I actually couldn’t care less about the whole lot of them but it was this or a post about the Corona Virus Grin

They all look pretty bored tbh

Reginabambina · 10/03/2020 11:23

Equally they could have just pulled those faces in the moment/be resting faces. If Harry had my resting face the press would be reporting that he wants to kill his family.

Frownette · 10/03/2020 11:23

Have they gone back to Canada now?

Not really

??? It's a millisecond in time captured in that photo, you're projecting bullshit all over it! Hope you're enjoying yourself, you're talking nonsense though

GinDaddy · 10/03/2020 11:25

"...it was this or a post about the CoronaVirus"

Hmm Biscuit

You need a hobby OP. 🤷🏻‍♀️

OtherVoicesOtherRooms · 10/03/2020 11:27

Don't be sucked in OP.
Neutral faces on most.
William bored and Megan trying to look cheerful.
A split second later and the picture may well be if them all smiling.

AnneJeanne · 10/03/2020 11:28

I wish Harry and Megan all the best. The English can be intolerably rude to Americans in general but heaven forbid a brown skinned divorce marry one of their princes.

ElderAve · 10/03/2020 11:29

Very brave of the very Eldery Monarch and the 70+ Duke and Duchess to attend such a busy event.....Grin
