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

[CallMeCatherine]

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.]

Wrt to your username, have you read a lot of Orwell then? 😂

If you want to label someone as a racist then Prince Harry fits the bill better than most. He is on film being racist to a Pakistani serviceman and also wearing a nazi uniform.

The Queen is an exceptional lady to have them there after all the pain and damage they have and still do cause.

Well Harry and his family have arrived in the UK so we'll see what happens. Until the last couple of years he's been involved with his db, cousins and their families. Unfortunately I think that in the US people tend to 'overshare' and maybe Meghan followed this trend with both her own and Harry's family. As Harry and their dcs will remain close family to the Queen, Charles and William it would be great for the children especially to have the experience of their English heritage

English heritage, you say? Not British, I see [thoughtful expression]

Certainly my Welsh family saw the Royals as not being particularly Welsh and as a foreign institution that had been imposed on the country. So from the point of view of many Celts, "English heritage" is fair enough.

Oh the royals leak and whinge and complain and give interviews all the time.

Prince Charles whinged that the Queen was a terrible mother in a book, exposed his personal life in TV interviews, has done loads of documentaries, leaked nasty stories about Diana all through their marital difficulties designed to discredit her and paint the mother of his own children as mentally unstable. Charles and Edward

Prince William whinges and complains about the press all the time, he complained that the press reporting on a rumour "violated his human rights", publicly whinged about the Tatler articl that was snarky about Kate and forced them to censor it, and Kensington Palace leaks like a sieve. William publicly slagged off his own mum and claimed she was "paranoid" and that her own words should be censored.

Edward has been pretty public in his feud with Charles and his upset over not being given the Duke of Edinburgh title, and has a history of exploiting his royal connections and selling out family members, even breaking the press embargo to stalk William with cameras while he was at uni.

And that's not even touching Andrew and Fergie who do nothing but whinge, complain, sell out family members, disclose inappropriate things about their personal lives, and exploit their royal connections for money (including selling access to royals to criminals and other dodgy figures).

Hell even Sophie Wessex was caught selling access to royals for cash, and speaking disparagingly of the Queen on camera.

They're all a bunch of moaning minnies and they should all shut up!

This.

This.

I think H&M should be banned from preaching on climate control due to the hypocrisy of them continuing to use private jets. It's a bad look and no mistake.

It is really poor form to rock up on the weekend of the decade which is exclusively penciled out (by family/the nation) to celebrate the SERVICE of a beloved monarch with:
*A bunch of unresolved issues and chips on shoulders
*A desire to film for Netflix, get content for a book deal and generate personal gains and popularity for their personal brand by hijacking the brand they hate
*A birthday party for a child you have kept them away from since birth
*Olive branch invitations to the said party on a weekend where everybody will be tired from participating in the socially appropriate events (as will their kids whether it is because they also attend or due to disrupted routines)

Unless:
You are still trying to out-queen THE Queen
You are an opportunist wanting to jump on the bandwagon for personal profit
You are deliberately generating controversy for a reality show
Your highchair was bored in California and wanted an expensive trip across the world to become the best travelled highchair of 2022

What a weirdo

Harry's grandmother was having a milestone celebration. He visited with his family. It was his young daughters birthday whilst there, so they threw a party.

Yet you just see some guff about inviting people when they might be tired.

Isn't it tiring to be so hateful towards people you've never met?

A lot of fairytales on here😀😃😃😃

Say what you like about this weekend, but it has at least given me two new entrants on looooong list of 'totally dumbarse reasons for criticising Meghan Markle'

Standing too close to windows
Celebrating her child's birthday

They might not be as all-time-classic as wearing coats, eating avocados, wearing the wrong shoes, looking at Wills funny, but they are good solid entries, so thanks for that!

I mean there are probably a good few more if I go looking, but those two really jump out at me 😂

Of course, all the parenting books would concur that a first birthday party must take place on the other side of the world from the baby's home in a house they've never been in with a bunch of people whom they've never met 😁

...or are they all racist as well? 🤔

I haven't yet seen any parenting books criticising Meghan's choice of celebrating her child's birthday on the day.

Just you 🤪

Do send on any references as and when you come across them

or alternatively get yourself a life

Usual twisted logic and derailment of valid arguments. It gets old.

Oh dear god 😂 😂 😂

I look forward to all your references from the parenting books about why celebrating a child's birthday while on holiday is an appalling thing to do.

I've got all day 😃

Hmm...or maybe obtuse? Keep on tugging the forelock, it's ok 😊

By saying that there's nothing wrong with celebrating your child's birthday.

That's 'tugging the forelock' in your head?

Wow 😂
