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.]

'They seem unable to do anything without...writing a book about how they feel about everything'

This made me laugh Grin they really are a pair of twats but all of the royal family are insufferable from what I can tell, so it's nice to see them all reunited.

@emerlou

The witness accounts I read said that she came in a convoy of 3 cars including a videographer and photographer.

If you watch her leave, you will see photographers amongst her group. One of them is the one who took the wildly used photo of her crouched. The photographers would have had their cameras out if they weren't associated with her and the security would have created more space if they were an unknown threat.

If the Queen wants them there then they should be free to attend.

I don't like all these posters deliberately trying to stir up racist division by claiming anyone who doesn't love H+M is somehow racist. People can have mixed or negative opinions about people who aren't white without it being racist.

Any Royal that left the UK and went to Hollywood to pursue celebrity would be looked on unfavourably by the British public.

Port1aCastis · 29/05/2022 10:00

Maybe H&M are already here ...who knows, I don't get the nasty vitriolic hatred for Meghan I really don't but then the Daily Fail and other crappy newspapers have done an awful lot to stir the bitching up. Cannot understand the vile hatred for a woman the majority of people have never clapped eyes on let alone spoken to, it's very odd and a good example of media manipulation of the masses

The racism about Archie's skin colour was one individual.

And yet they closed ranks in the same way that they’ve closed ranks to protect the paedophile.

This is just disgusting if true. How can anyone defend it?

😂 Was that the account written by Penis Morgan?

dudsville · 29/05/2022 10:11

I have 3 opinions on this issue.

  1. As a family they should decide for themselves who they want to celebrate with.

  2. Megan and her family have my every sympathy and respect for the decisions they've made.

  3. Publicly funded celebraties should not exist.

Why do you think the account that she arrived without anybody other than her security and Archewell COO and s accurate then? I'm not going to be one of those posters with an obscure tie to this location but if you watch the video it looks like 3 cars worth of people

PeekAtYou · 29/05/2022 10:19

On a brighter note the media are reporting that she has contacted her father after his health issues this week.

locok · 29/05/2022 10:19

One person travelled within her own city , quietly. Without publicity. The other flew on a private jet and is probably doing it for publicity. Even if she makes it appear otherwise:

So the difference is the me good of transport & distance travelled?

Kates visit was also in the press so there was publicity....

locok · 29/05/2022 10:20

me good = method 😆

I agree that the Queens decision should be respected but you will still get people saying they forced or blackmailed her into the decision.

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.

You got the nail on the head with your comment. 🔨

LondonWolf · 29/05/2022 10:30

There were photos of Kate taken by onlookers who were also at the vigil, which were then passed to the press. She didn't take a crew. I believe she went with one member of protection staff only.

No, the difference is one took a private jet which is very environmentally unfriendly so she could court publicity. The other made a quiet private visit within her own city because she was moved to do so.

others may disagree.

StartupRepair · 29/05/2022 10:34

Kate lives in London. This was her city. Meghan has no connection with Texas or Uvade.

LilythePunk · 29/05/2022 10:34

Also, because some people may find the way H and M operate questionable , this doesn’t mean they approve of or support Andrew. What a strange attitude that would be. It is possible to be repulsed by a man with no morals at all who enjoys sex with young girls who have been coerced and still find the Sussex antics ridiculous too.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 29/05/2022 10:37

If the UK was not all anti Megan from the day they met because she is coloured and not British

Isn't that a rather odd thing to post, since if it was "all" the UK that would presumably include yourself?
I confess I don't have your advantage in knowing what "all" the UK think; without doubt some are motivated by racism, but personally I only seem to know folk who are interested in what others say and do regardless of what race they happen to be

So there just happened to be photographers there then?

TBF that's entirely possible since it's a big story; what we can't know yet is whether it was Netflix
And as another poster asked, of course Megan shouldn't avoid doing things "in case she's photographed", but there's a big difference between cameras which just happen to be there and actually arranging publicity if that's what took place

bloodyplanes · 29/05/2022 10:37

EmerLou · 29/05/2022 06:03

Numerous witness accounts confirming there were no Netflix crews, or any film crews associated H&M. Literally people who were also there at the time have CONFIRMED that she arrived alone with a body guard, kept her head down, made no fuss, didn't attract any attention to herself yet people here are so utterly desperate, properly frothing at the mouth to just believe what they want, with their gullible little minds, just to have an excuse to give off and rant and pretend it's not racist. It's so beyond pathetic it's hard to even describe.

Zero difference in Meghan showing her respect to Kate showing hers for Sarah everard.

H&M will come to the jubilee. Our press will write shitty column after column about them, showing zero respect for the queen and yet who will get the blame? H&M. Because the British public lapping it up are pathetic, racist, judgemental morons.

But thats not actually true if you watch the videos of her leaving! She had photographers and more than one security with her! I find it amazing how people are so unable to get past the racism accusations and see that people may actually dislike her because shes very obviously a social climbing liar who trades on her title and uses every situation no matter how tragic to her advantage. Are we not allowed to find those behaviours distasteful because she is of mixed heritage? As for Prince Andrew, he is vile as well yet op's post wasn't about him. As usual though any post that may point out the flaws in M&H behaviour is met with screeches of what about PA? Ones bad behaviour doesn't cancel out the others, if you wish to discuss PA horrendous actions then start a post on it.

locok · 29/05/2022 10:38

But W&K also take private jets & have large carbon footprints?
How on earth can you ascertain that M wasn't moved by what happened?

LilythePunk · 29/05/2022 10:40

They are the future King and Queen. They need to take private jets on public engagements. They have a large entourage with them. M is a private citizen. She doesn’t need to take private jets.

locok · 29/05/2022 10:42

This doesn't even make sense as an argument. Kate isn't your typical London girl travelling around on public transport (although I have no doubt she was moved). Equally Meghan can be moved despite not living in Texas.
