To think Harry and Meg should be banned from the Queens Jubilee?

Why are they bothering?

They hate the UK, the RF, the whole institution and couldn’t wait to escape, accused the RF and British public of being racist, not welcoming Meg, or caring about her mental health. Her SIL even made her cry allegedly! They did a public interview about it being so hard being a Duke and Duchess in the UK that they just had to flee to a California mansion so they could be Royal there instead.

Do we as the public want to see them at a publicly funded celebration of our Queens 70 years on our throne? All they’ve done is embarrass the monarchy selling stories and their connection.

AIBU to think the Queen should have cut them orf?

[Yes, Andrew has massively embarrassed the monarchy as well but he didn’t flounce from the UK and give interviews about how the RF let him down.]

  1. Andrew did a whole lot more than 'embarrass' them. He's an alleged sex offender. Seeking to minimise him to make H&M look bad is frankly gross.
  1. Sorry, but I'm afraid Harry knows the Queen an awful lot better than you or I do.
Chilledchablis1 · 28/05/2022 21:01

I totally agree with you and still am not convinced they will both come . Having said that , if HM wants all her family there I can understand why she invited them .
I just hope they don’t have a Netflix crew trailing them the way MM did in Texas .
And I agree that Andrew is an unpleasant twat.

1963andbewildered · 28/05/2022 21:01

Am not a fan of them or the RF but if it was the Queen who wanted all her family present ,and an opportunity for her to meet the great grandchildren then I really don’t think it’s anyone’s business TBH .

Antarcticant · 28/05/2022 21:02

It's the Queen's celebration - if wants her grandson & granddaughter-in-law to be part of it, that's her decision.

I don't blame Harry & Meghan at all for wanting to flee the tabloid hostility and racism in the UK.

The RF is an outdated and toxic institution.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 28/05/2022 21:03

Yanbu OP. They’ve been totally disloyal to the Queen and the royal family. They should stay away imo.

HRTQueen · 28/05/2022 21:03

Oh please families fall out and make up

some areas of the press stirred up their racist readers they know exactly what they were doing

anyone who cares that much should really need to get a life they are not your family it must be incredibly disappointing to many that they want to spend time together

Travelwiththree · 28/05/2022 21:04

I think history will judge the way Meghan has been treated very different to how you describe it. I think Meghan and Harry have been painted as the bad guys to take the attention off Andrew's sex offences and William's affair.

FlibbertyGiblets · 28/05/2022 21:05

(admiring your use of orf, there, nice touch)

Hmmm well whatever, we didn't all agree to spend frickin millions on celebrating. I mean, when do us ordinaires get a diamond 9 typhoon flypast, eh.

BigOldBlobber · 28/05/2022 21:05

Just because nothing came out in the news as 'proof' doesn't mean MM wasn't subject to racism. 🙄

Also, what @Thatswhyimacat said

Giraffesandbottoms · 28/05/2022 21:05

I don’t think Harry or Meghan should be there but I also don’t think Andrew should be (I was shocked he was at the garden party!)

WishILivedInThrushGreen · 28/05/2022 21:06

I just want to see The Queen at the Jubilee celebrations.
Not interested in any of the others and really couldn't care less about H&M.

Ponoka7 · 28/05/2022 21:06

No, Andrew gave interviews about it was all lies, he was misled etc. While knowingly mixing with pedophiles and using royal residences and transport paid for out of the public purse. Why you are minimising that is strange.
Meanwhile people are allowed to emigrate. H&M were the targets of a smear campaign. Meghan had racist attacks directed towards her. They've made a few mistakes, but we're quite entitled to emigrate and put their pov across.

Mumoftwoinprimary · 28/05/2022 21:07

I think that it is the Queen’s jubilee so the Queen should have whoever she wants.

And I think that being a sex offender is significantly worse than being a whiny whinger.

DogsAndGin · 28/05/2022 21:08

[Yes, Andrew has massively embarrassed the monarchy as well but he didn’t flounce from the UK and give interviews about how the RF let him down.]

Hahahaa OP this is deluded. You’d rather protect a pedophile that a black woman who spoke up when she was mistreated due to her race? Shame. Meg and Harry have publicly maintained that the Queen hasn’t done anything wrong - so why can they celebrate her Jubilee? They left the RF for their own safety.

What Garden Party ?

Sleepeatrepeat · 28/05/2022 21:08

Harry has always been the black sheep and has always been highly vocal about his disgust for the press (and us as a population for buying it) and their invasion of his privacy. Ffs it was the press obsession with his mother that contributed to her death.

Why should he not flee a country that has had zero respect for him? He is a doting father and husband and he was hell bent on protecting that at all costs.

Credit to him quite frankly.

That said, if his Grandmother didn't want him with her for the celebrations then you can be damned sure he wouldn't be there.

So get over yourself and live your own life without speculative bs about things no one outside of their immediate family have any business knowing about.

Arenanewbie · 28/05/2022 21:08

Well, it’s for the Queen to decide. It’s her jubilee not mine. They are not going to greet people officially from the balcony, they are coming as members of the family.

Sceptre86 · 28/05/2022 21:08

It isn't up to any of us. If it bothers you that much don't watch any press coverage of them, turn to another channel, avoid clicking on any articles. If the Queen wants to celebrate with her grandson and his wife and family there it's up to her.

SickAndTiredAgain · 28/05/2022 21:10

I don't think they should be banned, but I am surprised they are willing to attend. Given what they said about royal life, I'd have thought that a totally private relationship with members of the RF would be preferable to attending royal events.

Obviously it may be that they don't want to go, but are going because the queen wants them to, which would be understandable.

TaranThePigKeeper · 28/05/2022 21:10

I’d say that it’s the Queen’s party and she can invite whomsoever she wants.

Also, unless you’re a member of the royal family you’ve no idea of what has been said or done, what fallings-out and makings-up there have been, and whether anything you have read in a biased press has any truth to it.

The obsessional hatred for Harry and Meghan on these boards is incredible, and a bit embarrassing, frankly.

LittleOwl153 · 28/05/2022 21:12

Sadly I suspect they need to be there otherwise they will run out of stories and connections to sell to Netfliks won't they...

This!

You sound very invested considering you don't know them from Adam. Personally I couldn't give a shit who the Queen has there.

Why are people obsessed with what Harry and Megan have done? Andrew is a fucking sex offender (allegedly 🤔)

The sooner the monarchy are gone the better. Thankfully the younger generation seem more in favour for a Republic. I think the Andrew allegations were the final nail.

Travis1 · 28/05/2022 21:13

Oh good it’s need a while since we’ve had one of these. 🙄 DFOD 🍪

EmerLou · 28/05/2022 21:13

"Yes, Andrew has massively embarrassed the monarchy as well but he didn’t flounce from the UK and give interviews about how the RF let him down."

Are you being serious? He's an alleged sexual offender. With incredibly damning evidence against him too.

Absolutely disgusting to minimise this just because you dislike M&H.
