To love Meghan and Harry but think they need to let us see the kids?

I'm no Meghan hater, but, if youre coming back to the uk and royal life, I do think the kids need to be shown.

Just like i like seeing Louis and the others, theyve got little personalities we want to see 🤷‍♀️

😂😂😂 We were all aware of all of those things... it was you who was confused. Probably because your weird infatuation for Harry and Meghan has blurred your brain.

No we werent, lots of us have a healthy interest in them without being obsessed 😬😬

Show the kids, dont show the kids, I wont die. But I do think itd be a positive thing if they did, especially if they do end up as working royals again, which I suspect they will

So interesting - from the show, it seemed as though it was in the tabloids!

its like the story that nobody knew about the King and Wallis Simpson. The papers agreed not to publish but Londoners knew because they saw them. Private house staff, restaurant and hotel staff shop staff...do you think they didn't see and go home and tell their families? My mother worked at Lutyens Couturiers and they used to see him waiting outside in a car for her. I bet the residents of Windsor knew too.

This is so interesting

Ive got to be honest, some stuff i'm grateful to the press for - let us be a bit nosy! (Except when it comes to private details about the kids).

I really don’t care about the royal family but I find it quite creepy that you think you’re entitled to see a stranger’s children and that they “need” to show them to you

E.G. their photos OP?

You said - 'you dont know them'

I explained that although I dont know them, i do care for them

Were David Attenborough a Royal, whos whole ethos was being Britain's family, I would be saying the same thing 🤷‍♀️

Let's see how Harry and Meghans return pans out - i suspect they'll become working royals again, in which case, we'll see the kids in the same controlled way we see wills and Kates kids

Prince Harry belongs on the stage doing royal engagements - hes excellent at it, and so is meghan tbh

Edited

Excellent at what, smiling and shaking hands, what a talent, who else could do that!

As for M, check out the video of her in Nigeria butting in front of Harry when they are presented with necklaces, or on the SA your when she ignores and is totally bored while a mum tries to tell her her horrific rape story. (Just two of many examples.)

IIRC M&H also got asked to leave a Buckingham Palace Garden Party early as M was complaining that she was bored (this was very shortly after M&H's wedding)

On what planet will they ever be working Royals again? Maybe Harry but only if they get divorced ( hypocrisy writ large but anyway- he'll be forgiven because his magic blood leads him to be particularly susceptible to hypnosis apparently) But the kids will be the equivalent of Bea and Eugenie who don't do Royal duties. We have enough of them grifting for the Monarchy on the public purse without adding the niece and nephew of the King!

Oo see i think that the obvious way forward is

Charles and his wife
Wills and kate - Harry and meghan
Their kids

If the royal family want then to be they will
Charles was once very unpopular
And people said Camilla would never be Queen yet here we are
They are not going to tske any noitce of what some of the very Vocal people that despise H&M for no real reason think.

just wondering if the Op is Megan! 😂

I'm surprised by the poll. Not intending to ask a silly question, but why?

Part of the royals deal is that we get a photo every year and see them during the Trooping the Colour, which I love.

But Harry and Meghan aren't working royals. They don't attend Trooping of the Colour.

I'm not their biggest fan and I have absolutely no interest in seeing their children. They aren't public property, I've no entitlement to see them. I actually wish they'd go one stop further and stop actually keep their kids off social media altogether. I can't stand the hypocrisy with speeches at the UN from Meghan on child privacy and then pictures of her kids in their swim suits and the back of their heads on Instagram.

Vaxtable · Today 14:23

Much as I dislike H and M the kids are nothing to do with the piblic. All of them are private citizens now not members of the RF

and one of the reasons I guess they are returning to the uk is because the press can’t take pictures on them

they want a private life and should be left to get on with it

She was so pretty shame that was 3 noses ago

CarbootJunction · Today 17:01

hotmumshit · Yesterday 20:08

That makes me sad as I genuinely didnt think I was

Its not like theyre some influencers or uk celebs - that would be weird to care

These are royals - funded by the tax payer, held up to us all as the UK's family.

Will and Harry had too much intrusion growing up, i'm sure, but i dont think wills kids do

If youre coming back as a working royal, living off the taxpayer - i dont see why a photo and a trip to Trooping the Colour is too big an ask 🤷‍♀️😬

Harry and Meghan are self-funded. They don't take any 'taxpayer' money. And even if they did, it doesn't buy you access to their kids. Stop being weird.

Thats just plain nasty
What is it about posters like you that just cant help themselves about being so unpleasent about somone they have never met?

Tontostitis · Today 20:46

She WAS really pretty and that WAS 3 noses ago. Plastic surgery should be called out. MM has no need of any surgery she was and still is very attractive but her repeated surgeries have made her less not more. It's not nasty it's pure fact and should not only be acknowledged but shouted from every roof top to stop more young women falling down that rabbit hole. The pressure young girls come under is an awful by product of already beautiful women who have chosen to put themselves in the public eye choosing repeated surgeries. There was nothing wrong with her original nose.

I always think people who say things like must be really unhappy people with something missing in their lives. It’s sad for them really and they should be pitied.
