I'm not the one whining about how they don't deserve any attention 😂

Well you are doing plenty of whining for someone that's not invested in Harry and Meghan and whose husband isn't spending all afternoon discussing them.

wigsonthegreenandhatsforthelifting · 17/12/2024 14:32

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.

Ok. So you demand to see pictures. You won't look yourself. And you act like I am lying about it

You haven’t posted it but I don’t need to see it to know it’s probably a fairly standard cheesy christmas family photo. A photo that no-one could take issue with unless they were sad, weird and obsessive. Which 100% of people who start threads about Harry and Megan are.

This exactly 😂

womenbite · 17/12/2024 14:23

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

It’s called having an opinion. But I guess if they don’t align with yours then it doesn’t count 🙄

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

Al alters everything in the image.
It especially struggles with hands and fingers.

I took one for the team and googled and there isn't one.

No I just think it's ridiculous the amount of hate these two get whatever they do or say is scrutinised
Some people even think their kids are not real .

Exactly you’re spot on.

They’re absolutely bonkers and you commenting on an existing thread to point this out is of course in no way comparable to starting a hateful or critical, mocking thread about them or anyone else.

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!

And good bloody riddance as it turned out.

That is so much crap though. Meghan was on a huge wave of popularity in the run up to and immediately after their wedding, until she revealed her true colours.

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...

Why do they contact you personally on a regular basis then?

I couldn't care less either way.

It's a much more appropriate, family card anyway.

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

Starting a thread about people she doesn't know? They're public figures! By that logic, we should never discuss anyone famous or well-known!

"revealed her true colours" Please, you have met her?

And the haters were fully out long before her wedding. People were miffed it looked lovely, she was accused of everything under the sun, accused from bullying Kate, to wear the wrong dress (it wasn't Kardashian and tight enough), from walking with Charles, accused of not bowing to the Queen - despite videos clearly showing her doing it.

It was pathetic then, it is pathetic now. What a miserable life someone must have to have to bitch so much about a stranger, who has actually done nothing wrong. Others royals have been proven to be a lot more questionable, financially or worst.

Try reading the post from C8H10N4O2 · Today 13:22 then which actually pretty much implies that it does.

Ummmm... excuse me, ... you said there were no Christmas photos of other royals. I disputed that saying there was and you demanded proof, but even when I pointed you in the right direction, you refused to look saying you don't care hahaha

Extiainoiapeial · 17/12/2024 14:51

^ This this this. But they aren't Meghan so don't deserve the incessant harping on and criticism that Meghan gets.

wigsonthegreenandhatsforthelifting · 17/12/2024 14:38

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.

Look, I need to spell this out obviously, but I'm not the one who hates their guts. I'm quite positive towards them.

But you think they're attention seekers, yet you can't stop yourself giving them attention

Notachristmaself · 17/12/2024 14:39

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. .

Actually Mike has said remarkably little about his ILs, and he certainly hasn't slated them in public.

While no doubt he does gain from his Royal connections, he also had a successful career as a rugby player.

Course he hasn't! He gets access to William, Kate and his MIL Anne for his podcast!

I can tell.

You don't need to spell anything out to me "obviously" and I don't "hate their guts". I don't care enough about anyone to waste my energy on hating anyone's guts.

Listen dearie, I dislike the way they behave. I was disgusted by how they treated the late Queen and Prince Philip and the huge distress they must have caused them as they were dying. If you think that's ok, then that's more of a reflection on you than anything. I guess you're either emotionally intelligent or you're not.

I don't need your permission or anyone else's to discuss them, and I won't be replying to any more of your posts, because they don't interest me, so you can spend the rest of your afternoon picking on someone else.

Regretsfrankhadafew · 17/12/2024 14:58

From the BBC
It is for professional use, with the couple sending a different card to close friends and family which will not be shared publicly.
