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

And who was responsible for leaking that into the public domain? Not Charles.

Anyway that is NOT what the man said in the privacy of his own home. Check your facts.

You'd have to be searching for this information to know it, I don't know any of this because I don't give a crap about any of the royals.

So why are you on here then, again actions speak louder than words 😂

Are you okay?

No point because all the apologists would just follow anyway - same as here!

I do not care. At least you would all be on the one board away from the rest of us.

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.”

Don't you wish if these people are attempting to debate the matter, that they could at least get the facts right?!!

I've seen worse corporate greetings cards. Seems weird how aerated people get over the things.

If you're that concerned, hide it??

@TheKeatingFive - it's all out there in interviews and in royal protocol. I'm not doing a tonne of leg work for you to come up with another incorrect response.
They're proven liars

It is a Christmas card. Not an official photo. The context is very different.

Catherine's photo wasn't "official" either.

MerryMaker · 17/12/2024 17:37

wigsonthegreenandhatsforthelifting · 17/12/2024 17:35

Catherine's photo wasn't "official" either.

It was released after all the conspiracy theorists on twitter were saying she was dead. So the fact it was heavily edited blew up.
I saw it all on twitter and began to wonder myself if something was being hidden as it seemed so bizarre/
If it had just been another fashion photo few would have cared.

TheKeatingFive · 17/12/2024 17:07

She probably meant in a sense personal to her.

Imagine still being mad about this four year after the fact 🤯

Imagine being so gullible as to be taken in by such crap!!

Onlyonekenobe · 17/12/2024 17:38

All these years on and I still can't work out why so many people are so vested in defending a patently indefensible (in some respects) person. Such strong language, insults thrown, eyes rolled, combative language, relentless posts.

I could understand this in a black-and-white situation where one poster is trying to claim that black isn't white/vice versa. But with Meghan and Harry there's zero clarity, perhaps the one thing everyone can agree on. So I just can't fathom that absolute, deferential, sycophantic, aggressive defense of them by some posters.

A year and more ago I thought they were paid posters. Before that, I thought it was well-meaning posters riding the DEI train off the back of the racist trolling Meghan received. Neither of those cut the mustard anymore, now that they're settled and established in their California life and aren't doing anything especially newsworthy. And I've never bought the "I just hate online bullying of women of any kind", because you only ever see this kind of defensive posting wrt Meghan Markle, never wrt actually newsworthy women and girls like, say, Child Q (who I won't name for her protection), the black teenaged girl from Hackney who was strip searched by the police at school while on her period without a responsible adult in the room, without valid cause. There was outrage on here, but nothing like the scope and scale and hagiographic defense Meghan Markle receives.

I hope I'm elucidated one day. Maybe there's a PR firm somewhere behind it all, because it just doesn't stack up to me.

toucheee · 17/12/2024 17:02

But Meghan didn't say they had a 'legal wedding' 3 days earlier, she said they had a 'union'.

A union could mean a personal, informal ceremony.

You just like to put the most uncharitable interpretation on it.

If William and Catherine had had a 'union' 3 days before their legal wedding, you'd be gushing about how romantic it is.

Nope, we'd be calling them liars too. Only they weren't stupid enough to make such a silly claim.

Somebody said, how are Harry’s kids gonna feel reading about his drug use etc. I’m sure they will feel a slight much better than Harry did when he heard that one!
I don’t know what he said verbatim because I don’t care, I do know that he said he would like to be her tampon.
Charles has sold stories saying basically that his mum was shit, he never loved his wife and some other stuff.
All this stuff about how H&M upset the Queen and her husband on their death bed, how the flying fuck does anyone actually know how the queen felt. And surely (hopefully) her dying dies were mostly ruined by her having to pay off the victim of her Peodo son! Anyway, with a family like that, I’m sure the queen had quite a bit to keep herself occupied with.

FloofPaws · 17/12/2024 17:41

@wigsonthegreenandhatsforthelifting 🤣 agreed! Honestly, the nonsense created to defend these clowns is incredible ... including asking for sources like her having siblings 🤯 ... some decent people in these boards call out down right crappy behaviours of the H&M bullies

You keep saying there are lots of lies, but you can only actually reference one.

Because I'm not doing your research for you! Google it!

Here's another to start you off: Meghan said that she had her passport confiscated when she moved to the royal residence, so how could she travel extensively for private purposes, like her baby shower in NYC?

If you care to look, there are many factcheck articles about that Oprah interview. There's no need to keep asking me. You can look it up.

They're a pair of massive liars-liars-pants-on-fires! It's been proven over and over. That interview was chock-full of lies, lies that were easily proven. They must think the entire world is thick, including the Archbishop of Canterbury!

That is totally wrong. He DID NOT say he would like to be her tampon,

"Charles: Oh, God. I’ll just live inside your trousers or something. It would be much easier!
Camilla [laughing]: What are you going to turn into, a pair of knickers? [Both laugh]. Oh, you’re going to come back as a pair of knickers.
Charles: Or, God forbid, a Tampax. Just my luck! (Laughs)
Camilla: You are a complete idiot! [Laughs] Oh, what a wonderful idea.
Charles: My luck to be chucked down a lavatory and go on and on forever swirling round on the top, never going down".

If you are going to post crap, can you at least make sure it's accurate??!

If anyone wants to know the extent of the lies this pair has told, they have been discussed ad infinitum on the Royals board so they can take their lazy arses there and find out for themselves!

I’m no fan, can’t stand either of them, but I never understand the issue people have with them not showing their children’s faces. I wouldn’t want my kids faces out there either. As long as they’re doing it for privacy and not because they want to merch their eventual ‘reveal’ it’s one choice of theirs I can get behind.

Manypaws · 17/12/2024 17:48

Charles did not say he wanted to be a tampon

MerryMaker · 17/12/2024 17:48

Just googled this. This is the full conversation. I would not want to hear my dad saying this to his bit on the side.

Camilla [laughing]: What are you going to turn into, a pair of knickers? [Both laugh]. Oh, you’re going to come back as a pair of knickers.
Charles: Or, God forbid, a Tampax. Just my luck! (Laughs)
Camilla: You are a complete idiot! [Laughs] Oh, what a wonderful idea.
Charles: My luck to be chucked down a lavatory and go on and on forever swirling round on the top, never going down.
Camilla [laughing]: Oh darling!
Charles: Until the next one comes through.
Camilla: Oh, perhaps you could just come back as a box.
Charles: What sort of box?
Camilla: A box of Tampax, so you could just keep going.
Charles: That’s true.
Camilla: Repeating yourself … [laughing]. Oh, darling, oh I just want you now.
