Does this scream "Photoshop" to anyone else? Lilibet's shoes, Meghan's leg and outrageously long arm,L is dressed for summer,A dressed for winter,the 3 year old looks more like 6. Jeeez...how embarrassing...🤦‍♀️

Asks the woman who mocks three-year-olds.

I’m not sure it’s a woman….Piers, is that you???

People getting overly defensive over a family they have never met and never will 🤷‍♀️

Get a life loser. Rushes to comment on thread about people they alledgedly dont care about/hate.

I have a life thanks thats how im posting, i'm alive. When did the dead post on MN, is this a new phenomenon? 👻

I think it’s odd that people don’t scroll past threads they don’t like. If it’s dull and silly why not ignore and go about your day. The desire for a bun fight is weird.

I don't want a bun fight but it is highly amusing to see how some mumsnetters get weirdly frantic about anything Harry and Meghan do. Two have had to go off because of puking and vomiting! 🤢

Even odder that a person who feels this way would comment on such comments...

And please don't comment to say that I have commented on the comment of a person who would comment on such comments...we'll be here all day!

We are not defensive just tired of lowlives like you making constant bashing threads so will call you out. Do you have a daytime job?

Well, because posts like this are just so unnecessarily nasty.

Especially when it involves small children.

You always show yourself.
Lilibet is 3/4s white at least so why would she have 4c afro hair. Hate to break it to you but I know many mixed raced women married to white men and their children all have long wavy lighter hair type.

Edited

Genetics are a funny thing
Anecdotally i used to know two sisters whose Dad was mixed race with Afro hair and dark skin ,the older sister was dark skinned with very dark curly but not quite afro hair ,their mum was white
The younger sister was white ,blue eyes and red wavy hair
Another child who went to school with my son ,mother was mixed race ,white father, and the boy was white with very blonde curly hair

It's better to call out nastiness rather than ignore it.

Is this how you would act in the street if you see someone be nasty, just walk away?

GoldenLegend · 17/12/2024 13:58

Oh FFS leave them alone. I doubt they're sending YOU a card!

janeavrilavril · 17/12/2024 13:59

Regretsfrankhadafew · 17/12/2024 09:54

But it's a corporate card! Corporate cards are always about promoting the business, so it will have images from them doing their job. People are looking to be offended because they hate Harry and Meghan.

heh heh, what business

chollysawcutt · 17/12/2024 14:01

I think either end of the spectrum are equally bonkers tbh.

The 'the kids are fake, she's a lizard and he's a hostage' posts are just as unhinged as the disingenous 'what's it to you? Why do you care? What have they ever done to you. Leave them alone' brigade.

They are public figures (because they want to be). They are the RF. They pump out content. Of course people are going to comment and remark. Isn't that dialogue kind of the point?

(Obviously the racist posts are a whole other level of vile)

Lifeomars · 17/12/2024 14:01

not at all interested in any of the royals but I am aware that this family live in California where the average temperature at this time of year is between 17 and 23 C

People don't just comment they rip apart everything they do and then start on their children.

I just cannot understand the nastiness and vitriol. What impact do they have on your life?

or say the children aren't theirs and they never had them. It's been said on this thread.

But the “why do you care?” comments are not on the extreme end.

If I don’t rate a person or a celebrity. I don’t go around dissecting their family photos, their bodies etc.

I just don’t bother with them.

Can you name other public figures that receive the same amount of vitriol? Serial killers don't receive the kind of bile that is thrown at them two. I think calling it out is important. It is so prevalent (even the tabloid press has got involved in excoriating them) that I think it is actually important that other voices are heard.

Well, you are bitching and slagging off a family that most people will never meet, know or even care about OP.
It seems to be that most posters aren't interested in them but are telling YOU that you are being bitchy that's the reason they are posting.
Are you like this in real life with friends and family or just save it for online and hide behind a keyboard /phone?

Regretsfrankhadafew · 17/12/2024 14:09

TheLimeHedgehog · 17/12/2024 13:04

Quite honestly if you think that it takes any investment in time to post a quote reply on MN about these two, then is no wonder you would assume Ginge and Cringe work hard and invest time in worthy causes that don't benefit them directly. 😊

Edited

You've invested enough time into this couple to dislike them enough to know all the awful nicknames for them and form such a strong opinion you have to voice it on a public forum.

pinkgrevillea · 17/12/2024 14:10

Haters gonna hate. I don't know them either way, I just find the racist undertones in the hatred too harmful to not call out the racist morons who start these threads for their little dopamine hit of spite. Otherwise I'd think, wow, what a moron and scroll past.
