To think this photo from yesterday’s Royal occasion...

...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.

It’s just a nanosecond snapshot that could be taken of any family at any time.
Why does it bother you?

Frownette · 10/03/2020 20:58

I don't know, I guess they're implying that she creates mischief behind the scenes but looks sweet and innocent to an audience.

Anyway they're going back to their son and Canada next week so the media over-saturation and analysing every head tilt, dragging out 'experts' for family dynamics etc will die down.

Is it me,or does Prince William's head look rather elongated?!

Polkagirls · 10/03/2020 21:21

I feel really sorry for the lot of them- especially the Queen - at her age, I’m sure she’d rather not have to put up with all the drama of her family life being plastered all over the media and people speculating about real or made up spats.

Do you think she ever thinks enough is enough with all this speculation and intrigue with her and her family’s life?

She’s got real stamina putting up with it all. Not that I would want her to resign. King Charles anyone Confused?

I would imagine that part of the reason for William and Harry's facial expressions is that they are sitting in the place where they experienced one of the worst days of their life. It must bring back terrible memories.

I suspect she sees very little of it tbh.

ivykaty44 · 10/03/2020 21:36

No one has to wonder why they’re leaving...

Jente · 10/03/2020 21:41

She's probably smirking at Camilla and Kate being attacked by those garish UFOs landing on their heads.

Possibly, but they have attended services there dozens of times since.

nildesparandum · 10/03/2020 22:21

Does anyone else notice that William's looks are changing?When he was younger he was the double of his mother, now he is looking more Hanoverian the older he gets.

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 10/03/2020 22:25

Most people’s looks change during their lives.

Didn’t stop William getting married there...

Leaannb · 10/03/2020 23:36

@AngeloMysterioso Did he have a choice?

Greenpolkadot · 11/03/2020 03:29

Please blossom.
I agree about the sqeew wiff Cape that she kept fiddling with.. And why does she go for a beret all the time.

Pixxie7 · 11/03/2020 04:24

@AnnJeanne why does everything come back to colour and status the British welcomed Meghan into the royal family and her marriage to Harry. This is nothing to do with colour or race it their actions since.

Whichoneofyoudidthat · 11/03/2020 04:38

I’m a big fan of Meghan. Mostly because she has a significant portion of royalists hopelessly incandescent with barely suppressed rage and indignation. It’s very amusing to watch (and read).

Same. I love how angry she makes people. If I was in her position, I’d be near constant smirking like the cat that got the cream 😚

eaglejulesk · 11/03/2020 04:51

I watched it on TV, that was not just a snapshot. Harry's face was like thunder all the way out, while Meghan had a beaming smile

I saw it on TV also, and yep, that's how it was.

ArriettyJones · 11/03/2020 05:04

It could be he had already heard about this. Awkward if accurate.

Yeah I normally can’t be arsed with the royal family antics but was similarly amused by this photo!

I actually think good luck to Harry. He didn’t choose to be born into all that nonsense and wants to escape. Why not? Wills and Kate are boring and look bored. Let them play dress up and get on with it

Candleford · 11/03/2020 05:40

Arriety I’m wondering if the hoax is a hoax? As yet there’s nothing on the bbc news online? Apart from The Telegraph it seems to be the tabloid sites that are running it? The main video on YouTube was apparently pulled. Can’t work out what’s going on. If it’s true then yes it’s bloody awkward.

lboogy · 11/03/2020 05:46

Even just breathing is enough to vilify Meghan . The Sussex royal Instagram is filled with vile messages like the ones on this thread. It begs the question if you hate her so much why do you even take notice of her?

Mummyoflittledragon · 11/03/2020 06:13

I think Meghan is beautiful and often looks like a Thunderbird with her perfect looks. Maybe she’s channelling her inner Lady Penelope. Who knows. It’s a snapshot in time. 🤷‍♀️
