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...🤦‍♀️

I think most sane people will agree that the Oprah interview was the kiss of death to any likeability they may have had....they have proved themselves cruel and narcissistic..and I don't think how they treated the Queen in particular can ever be forgiven. Everything they do annoys me - if I never hear from them again it will be too soon...

And yet you click on a thread about them and post on it...

Yeah but not all of them did a netflix series, a controversial 'spill the beans' autobiography and an interview with Oprah.

And none of those things would have been commissioned if there wasn't an audience for them.

Sadly no one is interested in a Netflix series about me 😂

Difference is, other members of the RF are working members.

Correct me if I am wrong, but of the remainder of the family, who puts out a card like this other than the King & Queen, and the Waleses? I haven't seen any others.

They all put out cards! I've seen them.

I find this very hard to believe, but knock yourself out with whatever version of the story helps you.

If you don't like them, ignore them. You are not required to give them any attention. The media would cease to cover them if people like you didnt click on the links.

So I'm a liar then???!!!

I couldn't give a shiny one what you think.

I think you will find a LOT of people changed their opinion of them after that awful interview, and you must have a very poor imagination if you can't figure out why!

I'm not clicking any links. I am posting on Mumsnet which is perfectly valid.

Do you think so? How interesting...

I think their pathetic attempts to stay in the public eye are way more embarrassing, personally.

Of course they are going to be commented on. That's what they want!! They thrive on the attention!

Why shouldn't people create threads on people they don't know, if they are putting themselves out there??!

Their pathetic attempts are working though, aren't they, because no one can seem to leave them alone. They want publicity. They can want what they like, they arent forcint the press to print it. It isnt even news most of the time. They drag up someone to do some 'body language analysis' or someone who met The Queen once to say how much she would have disapprioved of Lilibet having her hair loose or some nonsense. The press can't get enough of them. That's why they wont go away.
If Meghan sets up some crappy business that fails, then that's the same as many businesses. She'll have to face the consequences, just like they all do. If Netflix wants to give them money and then they are pissed off because they haven't done enough for it, then that's Netflix's problem to solve. I'm not paying for them. They are not my Head of State. They don't expect their son to be my sons' Head of State just on the basis that he was born, they don't have the entire establishment covering up for them so they can crack on and do what they like.

google Zara and Mike Tindall, for instance, a Christmas card with them and the three children. Went viral apparently
I've seen others too but don't want to really spend my afternoon looking for you 😅

TheKeatingFive · 17/12/2024 13:47

I find it amazing how easily triggered some people are by a family they have never met and never will. 🤷‍♀️

I give you... the Kardashians... for one!!!!

That's a pretty stupid 'point'. And having an opinion means you're "triggered"? What a crock.

Should we not discuss politicians either? I mean we have never met them and never will.

I actually have met Harry in any case. Does that make me more qualified to comment?!

I haven't seen them and I CBA looking either.

If you have, then put them on the post. Google it yourself if you're that bothered.

It looks like a charity advert rather than a Xmas card

This is their charity card so it is!

I can't understand why people have to froth at the mouth over this. We get it some of you dislike Meghan.

But thank you for the deep and meaningful insight.

MASSIVE hand- no way is that natural.

theblackandwhite · 17/12/2024 14:34

They are one of the most annoying public figures around and their Christmas card, published by none other than their mouthpiece ScobieDoo, is absolute utter shite. But it got them what they wanted, people talking about them, Scobie must be back in from the cold.

I think it's more embarrassing starting s thread about people you don't, know, will never know just to have a go at them yet again, they cant do right for doing wrong and it's pathetic

Totally agree!

Why wouldn't it be? What benefit is there to photo shopping her hand?

TheKeatingFive · 17/12/2024 14:19

This is total revisionism. People were like this towards them long before Oprah.

People became like this from the time they announced their engagement, possibly even before.

People have short memory, Kate used to be absolutely slaughtered in the past, she was even accused of faking her first pregnancy, remember the nurse scandal?

When Meghan turned up, the wave turned in favour of the "English Rose" but online bullying as been there from the start.

The hatred towards Meghan as a distraction is painful and embarrassing, she was too much of an easy target for the haters to resist. No wonder they left this stuffy country to be able to breathe in peace in hers!

Do you know Harry then? I doubt that 😂

But ... but ... The Khardashians is a pretty stupid argument. Being this invested in the Khardashiand would be dumb too.

What I can't understand is that you think H&M don't deserve any attention ... fine, don't give them any. It's very simple.

My husband knows literally nothing about H&M, because he isn't looking at their Christmas card and he certainly isn't spending his afternoon commenting on them on Mumsnet. Its not rocket science.

Well you certainly are invested enough for both of you. Hark at you "spending your afternoon commenting on them on Mumsnet"!!! Hilarious. Double standards or what.

How is it a "pretty stupid argument"? Lots of people are interested in the Kardashians - I can't stand them but whatever. Doesn't mean that people can't discuss them. They're only one example.

I mean, why are they hawking their children out on a card? They aren't working Royals either. Their children have nothing to do with their 'businesses'. Mike Tindall hasn't stopped flapping his gums about his Royal in laws, so neither of them are making their own way in the world and not using their Royal connections. .
