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.]

It’s quite sickening how blinkered these racists are. They find it easier to justify the actions of an alleged sex offender than a black woman defending herself against media bullying.

Mixed race. She is not black.

Naunet · 29/05/2022 08:08

Why on earth are you minimising what Andrew did? It’s far, far worse than anything Harry has done. Rather gross to do that.
Harry is her grandchild at the end of the day.

MyneighbourisTotoro · 29/05/2022 08:09

The Queen won’t be around forever and Megan was treated unfairly by the whole country! The racism was sickening, I’m not surprised they upped and left as she couldn’t do anything right and it clearly was too much for her to cope with.

Harry was only protecting his wife and family.

I really don’t see why anyone would want family banned from a such special event that most probably means a lot to them. Why wouldn’t the Queen want to see her Grandson and great grandchildren?

The Royal Family aren’t soap opera characters op.

Really?! 😂

It is hypocritical to attend after the way they've slagged off the RF family so publicly.

But they need they need to keep in with the family to remain sellable and have content for Netflix. That's why they're coming.

Totally agree, if this was about family he’d have been at Philips memorial. Or they could come over at any time quietly for a private family visit with the queen.

They want to appear on the balcony, this is one hundred percent purely about the publicity they can get from attending it.

it’s sickening,

Because said grandson derelicted duty, monetised being royal by selling stories on his family and trashtalking them all for cash, trades on his name for money, doing it as his grandfather lay dying, accusing them of being racist publicly when he was fully aware of rhe commonwealth impacts, trying to extort money out of them all, trying to pay to use the met for his own needs, not attending his own grandfathers memorial service and likely trying to use her jubilee to help boost is failing fortunes.

quite a lot of reasons don’t you think?

Bollocks, to be blunt. Buckingham palace has already said who will be on the balcony and it doesn't include H&M.
If it wasn't all so awful it would be fascinating to see how this works. The Texas/Netflix thing is a prime example; somebody says there was a Netflx crew there and M went just for the publicity. Others say "errr.. nope, no crew and M was respectful and kept herself to herself". In spite of that it has now become 'fact' that there WAS a crew and that it was all about good publicity for M.
As I said, fascinating but also complete and utter nonsense and deeply unfair.

Floweryflora · 29/05/2022 08:35

I didn’t say they would be on the balcony I said they wanted to be, we all know the palace has already said working royals only

and if you think for one moment they wouldn’t jump at the chance to be on that balcony then you’re very very naive, of course they are doing I for the publicity they even put a statement out and announced they are going to be there ffs 😂

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.

So there just happened to be photographers there then? Why charter a private jet to make the trip? It’s so patently insensitive to climate change issues. She knew someone would photograph her and it would be in the papers regardless.

locok · 29/05/2022 09:03

She knew someone would photograph her and it would be in the papers regardless.

So she shouldn't do things because she will get photographed? The papers don't have to publish anything, they do so because there is a lot of interest.

Why charter a private jet to make the trip? It’s so patently insensitive to climate change issues.

Is it anymore insensitive when other Royals & celebs do it?

locok · 29/05/2022 09:09

I mean Prince Charles & Prince William have huge carbon footprints & are quite fond of a private jet despite highlighting climate change issues.

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.

This.

Double standards in relation to Andrew and MM.

Also why would anyone want the Queen to be upset because her grandson and great grandchildren were not invited, horrid attitude.

Brazooka · 29/05/2022 09:19

‘. Or they could come over at any time quietly for a private family visit with the queen.’

And how do you know they haven’t? 😂

sst1234 · 29/05/2022 09:25

Harry and Meghan fan club will be out in force to tell you that you are wrong. But ultimately they are unpopular for a reason - or ten. Like being fake self publicists, with a penchant for telling lies. Pretending to care about woke issues but looking like idiots for being contradictory. Shamelessly trading on the titles like Z list celebrities but bad mouthing the privilege that gave them the titles.

Anyway, all that’s well documented. The further away they are from this country, the better.

Samcro · 29/05/2022 09:28

Meghan pays her respects(and is photographed) attention seeker.

I agree with your first part but the private jet thing really irritates me. No one should have a private jet these days. Bloody Kate and Wills too, banging on about climate change then going on private jets. That just makes them twats in my head.

So yes, I do think it is incentive when ANYONE does it.

emuloc · 29/05/2022 09:32

Have not read the whole thread. I am sure the H&M haters would never miss an opportunity to vent their bile. Yabu Op. It is a good thing that not everybody thinks the same. I would be happy to see them attend. I do not blame them for leaving this Country. Why should they have stayed, and put up with all the racism, and nastiness meted out to them from the gutter press?

locok · 29/05/2022 09:35

@Maybebabyno2 I agree the private jets & environmental concern is hypocritical. I just don't understand why H&M are the ones singled out for it.

TalkingCat · 29/05/2022 09:42

No they should not be banned, they should be welcomed back. I am so sick of the racism against Megan by posters on here, and the hatred of her. Her and Harry did nothing wrong, they are the victims so why should they be banned.

Krakenchorus · 29/05/2022 09:42

Posted too soon...

Mixed race. She is not black.

The racists are out in force today.

And many of them are also minimising the actions of alleged sex offender Andrew.

Nice.

odd

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.

RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 29/05/2022 09:47

Basically if granny wants them at the party then they go to the party

that should be the end of it

HRTQueen · 29/05/2022 09:48

how odd people who are outraged that they might be accused of racism because they don’t like MM never seem to be bothered by the press stirring up racism

so racism is ok then because you don’t like her
