@CatalinaLoo your terminology is ageist and misogynistic

What happens when William and Catherine’s kids get on the internet and see the allegations about William’s pegging?

Are William and Catherine responsible for those disgusting rumours???!

I can't understand it, I take very little notice of the royal family and can't get my head round being in any way interested or invested what they are all up to. And before someone comes along with "and yet here you are" and "why are you commenting?" which seems to be the standard response to comments like mine, I am reading the thread in an attempt to try and find out why they inspire such intense opinions.

You must have been living under a rock if you don't know why. They've treated their families appallingly and told lie after lie, many in the Oprah interview, which were immediately proven.

Proven by who and how did they prove it?

'Gormless'

Another insult for the bingo card! It's filling up nicely!

TheKeatingFive · 17/12/2024 16:19

What are all these 'lies' that are being referenced btw?

Apart from the wedding comment, which to me is just a personal interpretation thing.

Oh please. You’re reaching. If you have such a moral centre, why don’t you call out the behaviour of the racists and misogynists who have relentlessly targeted Meghan since she appeared on the scene, for having the audacity to marry into the royal family. Why don’t you challenge them, instead of challenging those who seek to defend those who are subjected to relentless bullying? I think it says a lot about you that are focused on my post and not the original post.

StrawberryWater · 17/12/2024 16:25

There are some very strange and very disturbed people on this thread.

Manypaws · 17/12/2024 16:26

@CatalinaLoo How do you know I haven't? Huge assumption there

However I wasn't aware that it was our duty to respond to every single post on a thread, I will keep that in mind

Not a reach, fact, your comments are ageist and misogynistic and it says even more about you that you think it's acceptable

Still, why be ignorant if you can't show it?

UniqueOP · 17/12/2024 16:26

Nerdlings · 17/12/2024 16:18

They said that the Archbishop of Canterbury had married them three days before their wedding, in their garden. The bishop said no, that's incorrect.

There's a list pf other things like that from the interview that you can look up, if you want.

Manypaws · 17/12/2024 16:26

@CatalinaLoo seems MN agrees

MN will remove any post if someone hysterical reports it. Was that you? I have no doubt that many people agree with me, however much you wish it wasn’t so.

Manypaws · 17/12/2024 16:31

Mn don't remove because of "hysterical" reporting, you do favour very passive aggressive language don't you

It would seem other people have found your post unacceptable

I will always call out bad behaviour, and I don’t apologise for it. You should feel free to continue to police those people defending Meghan and Harry from racist and misogynistic vitriol. I’m sure you feel great about yourself. You sound lovely. Merry Christmas to you.

@CatalinaLoo Thank you, I do indeed feel really good about myself

I think you've misunderstood me. I wrote:

If it's corporate why do they have a family photo on it?

[NEW PARAGRAPH]

They're just horrible, horrible people, and I wish the news would stop covering them.

My comment about them being horrible wasn't anything to do with the card. It was a comment about them in general, an opinion gleaned from watching them hurt their families so much over the years, and saying that the RF and the British are racist.

Oh give over. You followed up with they’re horrible horrible people after questioning why they have a family photo.

You then implied W&C are allowed to do it because they’re saintly.

He didn’t say it was incorrect he said ‘I won’t say what happened at any other meetings. If any of you ever talk to a priest, you expect them to keep that talk confidential.’

Calling out bad behaviour isn’t a bad thing. Do you want me to call them Christmas pixies?

I guess it’s the same as how Harry felt when he heard that his dad would like to be his mistresses tampon!

PrestonHood121 · 17/12/2024 16:45

The way people went crazy over Catherine’s family picture, and how the Sussex squad - fans and bots- went for her online, I’d say it’s fair game over this picture.

I do not read any articles about them, my family and friendship group do not discuss them, I did not watch the Netflix thing they did, I did not read extracts of his book, let alone the actual tome. I am of course aware that they inflame passions, fill up the media with controversy and provide a living for all those "royal experts" and fill the tabloids with distracting stories but I just don't get the fever and the fury . It bemuses me, guess I need to get back under my rock...

There were lots of people pointing out it had been heavily edited. A fact later confirmed.

Fair game for what though? Suggesting that the children aren't real? 🫠

PrestonHood121 · 17/12/2024 16:54

Exactly - the heavily editing of this photo/use of AI is clear as day. So people will comment on it…oh well

He didn’t say it was incorrect he said ‘I won’t say what happened at any other meetings. If any of you ever talk to a priest, you expect them to keep that talk confidential.’

He did disprove Meghan's lie that he had married them before the wedding in their garden. He said "The legal wedding took place on the Saturday." Plus, in the C of E, you can't get married outside; it has to be in a church.

It was a massive porker, the same as the other porkers they told in that interview.

He also said:

“The legal wedding was on the Saturday. I signed the wedding certificate, which is a legal document, and I would have committed a serious criminal offence if I signed it knowing it was false.”
