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.]

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

Were the photos of people lining the streets of Windsor on her wedding day flown in ? Were the pictures doctored?

Why aren't all the "what about W & K?!" posters saying anything about that footage?

EmeraldShamrock1 · 29/05/2022 10:44

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

I wouldn't say it was a brighter note, he doesn't deserve any contact.

Her family didn't help matters in the UK between her father and sister.

I wouldn't poke him with a barge pole if he was my father.

They are the future King and Queen. They need to take private jets on public engagements

and holidays?

M is a private citizen. She doesn’t need to take private jets.

I never said she needs to take them but plenty of private citizens do. I just take umbrage when people criticise her method of travel when other Royals preach environmentally awareness but have huge carbon footprints.

PeekAtYou · 29/05/2022 10:47

I'm sure that M was saddened by what happened but the comparisons with Kate aren't right here. She was photographed by members of the public on camera phones and it was a short walk away with just her protection officer.

It’s really scary when you realise how little critical thinking some people are actually capable of….

This!! I’ve read the entire thread and most of these comments are SO pathetic. I really struggle to believe so many of you care as if this is your own personal family. You don’t know the Queen from Emma down the road yet you’re so invested as if you know these people personally. You don’t. You take in what you read and hear from the media and take that to be accurate news. Are you not able to think for yourself or better yet, get a life and leave these people alone?

100% this.

Do you think the photos were published without permission?

You think she walked there? 😆

Honestly this is so untrue it's laughable. The country loved her and were so excited for a royal wedding. I remember it. I live in London and the city was lighthearted and excited. My SIL lives in Windsor and the town was buzzing with crowds and happiness. I took my children and went with friends to Kensington Gardens for a picnic where we all toasted "Harry and Meghan!"

I wish people would just stop lying about this in order to support their own divisive "you're all racist!" agendas.

Her no contact with her family is certainly not anything I would judge her for. They're complete nightmares!

Perhaps it was also a publicity stunt, we will know soon enough. I don't think H&M are saints & have certainly made mistakes. I just don't hate them or see their behaviour as any worse than other Royals or celebs. But for some reason they are held to a higher standard.

pedropony76 · 29/05/2022 10:57

I’ve had to come back and laugh at those so invested by this😂 you don’t like H&M yet you’re on Youtube watching footage of her and what she supposedly does. Can you people be any bigger haters?! There’s too many of you to tag but you’re all so pathetic. You’re literally speaking as if you know these people. Do you just spend all day being keyboard warriors typing things and spewing hate about people that don’t know you exist?

My gosh, it’s one thing to not like people for whatever unhinged reason that you may have. But to keep on banging on and talk about them at any given opportunity seems to indicate that you have some sort of obsession…

Puzzledandpissedoff · 29/05/2022 10:58

As said last night I expect it makes uncomfortable viewing for some, hence the insults flung at the person who posted it, the inevitable "What about Andrew?", the expansion of the racism claims to include "all" the UK and so on

I'm the very last to defend any of the RF, but even I'd think it was possible to discuss the actions of one member without dragging everyone else into it ... but apparently not

The UK was not anti Meghan at all. There was a huge amount of goodwill that they threw away. I though she was great at first.

yesthatisdrizzle · 29/05/2022 10:58

It's none of our bloody business, and we shouldn't be sticking our noses into someone else's difficult family dynamic, no matter who they are.

LindaEllen · 29/05/2022 11:07

They may not be a part of 'The Royal Family' from a business point of view, however she has been and always will be his grandmother, and his children's great grandmother, and if she wants her family there then so be it.

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:
They seem unable to do anything without PR statements , Omid Scobie announcing it, or
writing a book about how they feel about everything. Why can’t they just go about their business quietly, drop the titles and grandiose posturing, stop trading off the connections they say they hate and visit their family in private?

It will be interesting to see what the content is when their Netflix offering appears. How much of it is trading off their connections and publicising themselves.

Without publicity.??
so why was it all over the news?

HRTQueen · 29/05/2022 11:14

So racists stopped being racist at first then remembered they were racist when they decided Megan was a difficult demanding woman

right ok

I can remember the remarks of it’s not right to have someone like her in the royal family that was of course made out to be that she is an American 🙄

Piers Morgan was winding people up from the start with his what became an frightening obsession. He must be absolutely livid about this news

Onwards22 · 29/05/2022 11:15

Yes it’s his gran and has more right to celebrate her than you or anyone else does.

LondonWolf · 29/05/2022 11:17

I think it's possible. She's regularly out and about in London without camera. Shopping, riding bikes with her children in Hyde Park, picking them up from school and play dates etc.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 29/05/2022 11:17

That's fair enough up to a point, and I'm another who feels some of the media have been appalling. That said, if people willingly go public with questionable behaviour and toxic allegations about their families, they can't really be surprised if folk comment on what they themselves have done, even if there's an attempt to claim it was in self defence

There can be a certain dignity in silence, but sadly that's something H&M - along with various other RF members - never seem to have learned

HRTQueen · 29/05/2022 11:19

it was in the news about Megan visiting Texas because anything she does is in the news.

and hundreds of press where there already because 19 children and 2 teachers were murdered

she didn’t engage with the press (though let’s be honest some would have loved this so they could froth even more)

stepuporshutup · 29/05/2022 11:20

I agree with pp that families fall out and make up. If the Queen wants all her family together that is her choice. So no I don't think they should be banned

LondonWolf · 29/05/2022 11:22

When are we going to finally stand up and tell the MN race baiters how disgusting they are I wonder? Tell them we reject their attempts to racialise every single incident which involves the questionable behaviour of a POC in order to excuse them. The obsequiousness of some MN posters in accepting this so readily makes me nauseous at times - just to clarify, not so much on this thread, most people are pushing back thankfully, but certainly on multiple other threads on these forums.

Do you honestly believe that the wife of the future king is allowed to be out wandering about in London without any security? Unless you’re her friend and she’s told you this herself, you can’t possibly state this as fact.

HRTQueen · 29/05/2022 11:26

You are ok with the biggest online news outlet stirring up racism then LondonWolf

thats what happened and if you are fine with this or don’t see it as an issue then you are fine with racism
