Isn’t there a princess in Europe that’s now working as a HCA?

A queen somewhere in Asia cooking for the poor?

Harry and Meghan delivering meals?

Bet if Diana was here she’d be out doing everything in her power to help the ordinary folk 💪

@TheClootieDumplin

What alternative do you mean?

MadameBee · 19/04/2020 13:12

It’s a free country, my opinion is as valid as yours.

It’s a shit time for everyone but let’s make ourselves feel better by coming on here and slagging off a young family we know nothing about.

I wouldn’t want their life - no way.

LaurieMarlow · 19/04/2020 13:13

I think people need to get a life rather than attacking people they don’t know, personally.

But its not Chris and Amanda from the country club we’re talking about.

But the future head of state, whose in receipt of considerable public funds to do ... well I guess that’s the problem ... we’re not quite sure.

I’m so staggered by people like you who seem to think they don’t need to be held accountable.

Thankfully our wonderful millionaire music stars are recording songs from their homes. I feel quite moved, in fact i think we should clap for idle rich over indulged music stars on a Friday as a follow on for the NHS one.
They are wonderful human beings Hmm

MadameBee · 19/04/2020 13:15

Ok - I admire her and I don’t care whether she knows of my existence if not.

I think it’s different to criticise someone who is a key player in dealing with this (Boris) to be scathing about two people who for what I can see are doing their best.

Their children were probably very worried about their grandfather.

Wolfgirrl · 19/04/2020 13:15

@MadameBee

Yes it is valid, in the same way the flat earthers have a valid opinion.

We are not slagging off a young family that live over the road. We are talking about our future Head of State who lives a life of unimaginable luxury at our expense. if you are that emotionally invested in a couple that are happily locking themselves away from the likes of you, you really need more self esteem.

altiara · 19/04/2020 13:17

Aren’t we supposed to sitting on our arses hiding away from other people? I think they’re doing that.

Wolfgirrl · 19/04/2020 13:17

@MadameBee

If the future Head of State isnt a key player when the country is in the worst state for 100 years, what are they for?

As for doing their best, spare me. Insulting to the nurses and supermarket workers that are facing the disease every day to keep your life running. They are the ones doing their best, not this idle pair.

Diyhaircutgonewrong · 19/04/2020 13:17

I think Kate is great, I love her.

what is so great about her? what is she doing that you love her?

Pelleas · 19/04/2020 13:18

Ok - I admire her and I don’t care whether she knows of my existence if not.

A genuine question - what is it about Kate that you admire? What has she actually done, in your eyes, that's worthy of admiration?

Wolfgirrl · 19/04/2020 13:18

@altiara

Like the 1 million NHS volunteers?

MadameBee · 19/04/2020 13:19

Aren’t we supposed to sitting on our arses hiding away from other people? I think they’re doing that

Yes.

Noodlenosefraggle · 19/04/2020 13:19

They are actually doing something and as a result will raise millions for charity. They have worked hard to get where they are and still need to work when this is over in order to to stay there. They are doing more than the Royals in every way. At the very least they could acknowledge how fortunate they are instead of the 'oh we're just like you'd act but that would involve them saying 'yes were in lockdown and have elderly family but we are very fortunate and understand that many people are struggling'. They didnt. It was all about how much they are suffering with us, when they are not.

Mamamia456 · 19/04/2020 13:20

Wolfgirrl - Some people like the royal family some don't, just because Madame Bee has a different opinion to you there's no need for personal attacks, low self esteem indeed!

MadameBee · 19/04/2020 13:21

And no, I don’t have low self esteem, but thanks for the concerns.

Noodlenosefraggle · 19/04/2020 13:22

The thread has moved too fast. I was referring to the post about 'millionnaire pop stars having a concert'

LaurieMarlow · 19/04/2020 13:23

Aren’t we supposed to sitting on our arses hiding away from other people? I think they’re doing that.

I’m not seeing many (If any) sit on their arse.

I’m seeing people frantically try to keep businesses afloat, wfh under impossible conditions, home school their kids, worry about money, volunteer their skills and services for the vulnerable and the front line.

And none of them in receipt of masses of public money and a remit to lead the nation.

Wolfgirrl · 19/04/2020 13:23

@MadameBee

You joined a debate. You havent made any points to back up your opinion. You've just come on here to lavish the royals with sycophantic compliments and to shut down the argument. Can you answer @Pelleas question?

MadameBee · 19/04/2020 13:26

I am a public servant and am very lucky that I have been able to continue to work.

It’s a distraction and I don’t know how I would cope otherwise.

I also am volunteering for the NHS not because it’s heroic, because that’s helping me cope.

I am not going to stand in judgement of what others are doing though (as long as following government guidelines).

As long as we all come through it.

MadameBee · 19/04/2020 13:27

I admire Kate because she has carried out the role she has taken in the exact way that the role is supposed to be carried out.

Lifeisabeach09 · 19/04/2020 13:31

Anything you do or give really is best kept to yourself.

Unless you're a publicly funded royal institution with immense inherited lands and wealth generated by commoners taxes and land grabs over the centuries.

TheClootieDumplin · 19/04/2020 13:32

You joined a debate.

Debate? Grin

But that said, perhaps you need to practice what you preach and reply in a way that doesn't conjure up a picture of you pickled in bile.

Wolfgirrl · 19/04/2020 13:32

@madamebee

All very admirable but this is a thread about what our future heads of state are doing.

Can you please tell us what Kate's role is in the context of your comment?

Leighhalfpennysthigh · 19/04/2020 13:33

Ahh, so you admire a woman who wears clothes well, smiles. Waves and has popped out the requisite heir and couple of spares.

What a gift to feminism you are.

Leighhalfpennysthigh · 19/04/2020 13:34

Oops, forgot the most important thing - keeps her gob shut at all times.
