Royal style: we want more salwars and we're not sari about it!

They'd do more Sentebale things.

Honestly I wish they'd fuck off. Sick to the back teeth of the pair of them.

They're fully entitled to moan and whinge as much as they want. But the problem is we haven't the option of tuning it out as it's just spammed absolutely everywhere. I don't follow any of them on IG and didn't watch the documentary, but it's all over my Explore page and most of the news sites I visit.

I'm not even in the UK! All I want is to look at a few frocks!

But if they find it so hostile in the UK, they need to just GO.

I don’t see why Kate wouldn’t wear Diana’s Ring.
She surrounded by an incredible amount of security.

Regarding Kate & EY; surely she is no different to Diana and AIDS.
Diana raised awareness and it became one of the most important charity sectors of the 80s.

I hope H&M take the advantage of some “quiet time”
However i think they will be busy on their Instagram and having interviews with American news outlets.

I actually think it will be within a year that they decide to move to South Africa. They’ve been pretty unsubtle; raving about it. They seem to do everything at an accelerated pace and are unhappy.

It is exasperating how out of touch they appear.
Without question Meghan has suffered bullying and racism, but right on the tail of a tour which was all about representing the Queen and shining a spotlight on the nations they visited, it has been incredibly self indulgent to make it all about them, because that is all people will remember now.

One day some people will release that having enough money doesn't stop you suffering from feelings of sadness, loneliness, low mental health, worries etc
I agree SunshineCake however this indulgent whinging will completely overshadow everything they do. They are representing the Queen and should be promoting the countries they visit not sabotaging any good they do by exploiting it for their own ends.
Personally I wish they'd drop out of public life and live their lives, as they wish without being funded by public funds.
It's getting very tedious with everything being 'Me, Me, Me'.
I just hope Prince Chrarles and the Queen sort them out before any more damage is done.

I can 100% say that none of my criticism is racially motivated at all and I feel equally upset with both of them, not just Meghan.

In addition, I appreciate where the pp said that money doesn't bring happiness (or words to that effect) but Meghan has a loving husband and wider family / friends as does Harry, so they need to be able to deal with (or just ignore) media / public criticism. How M's dad was treated prior to the wedding and the fact that Harry still hasn't met him means that a lot of family stuff was handled really poorly. Again that's their fault and no one else's so when they complain about their life, it's hard to digest.

I say all this as a royalist, so can only imagine how those who don't like the RF feels about it all.

You would think the absolute safest place for Kate’s ring is on her finger - her security is up there with the most paranoid bank in the world. The only place safer would be on HMQ’s finger! And maybe William’s as he’s the Real McCoy over Kate in terms of crucial royals.

Goodness, a lot of anger today again. Can the strong feelings on the RF be kept to other threads - there are plenty of them!

I completely agree about H&M doing everything at an accelerated pace. They must be incredibly stressed in general, irrespective of the press attention and their huge cushioning wealth. They should not chuck a big reactive international move into the mix. I don’t mind if they take a year off to just sort themselves out. And I don’t mind paying my £1 for it either. They’re clearly creeping towards being unhinged and perhaps a break to absorb the changes in their lives would be good. A sabbatical / paternity leave if you like. Just chill. And stop fighting the media. You can actually never win. You might win in court but they will never stop ever. It is the definition of the losing battle and to disengage would be kindest to them and maybe healthier. Watching Harry crack up in public is not fun.

They have six weeks leave coming up I would bugger off somewhere quiet and just be parents.

I do feel sad that Harry and Meghan are so unhappy and wonder if they have had/would consider counselling because the media will not change and neither will their royal status or the expectations that people have of them. They do come across as very emotionally vulnerable and this is probably understandable given their respective upbringings.

William has found a stable and loving family through Kate, but Harry seems very lost. I'm not really sure what to make of it all. When MM thanked the interviewer for asking about her and said that not many people asked , who was she expecting would ask? She has Harry and she has her mother, that is more than some people in the world have.

I can’t believe the balls of them actually to publicly declare they’re having six weeks off for family time. How many couples would like six weeks full-paid leave to hang out together? Plenty!

And aren’t most days “family time”? Neither of them work. They travel a bit, go to some evening stuff (as do we all), couple of commitments each month and the job’s done.

They are so completely lacking in self-awareness, it’s staggering.

Wonder how much these outfits would cost today?

Is that at Kensington Palace @justasking111?

I always thought the Duchess of Kent was a great beauty so fragile though.

What beautiful dresses, JustAsking.😍
The Queen must have had a fabulously voluptuous figure. She's been an old lady for so long, seeing vintage dresses like that is a reminder of the young woman she once was.

The Duchess of Kent was beautiful, some tragedy in her life too. Her daughter looks more like her with the passing of each year.

If I were the Queen I'd get William and Harry up to balmoral to talk it out.

M&H can't have it both ways. They want to "make a difference" and so they need to be in the spotlight and inevitably that leads to criticism (and praise).

I agree they've hijacked a state visit and overshadowed the future king's trip with this programme.

Is that a new exhibition at KP or were the dresses at the V&A?

Will Kate’s outfits from the Pakistan visit be mothballed and packed away for a future exhibition in 50 years time?

The dresses were in an exhibition at Buckingham Palace apparently. She was a bosomy lass the Queen.

Those dresses look lovely. I'm sorry but I can't remember who commented on the Queen's possible weight loss up thread, but I agree it's probably old age. My mum has lost a couple of stone this year, and despite a thorough check up, down and inside out from our wonderful nhs, the drs can't find any reason for it. She's not as old as the Queen but not too far off.

Thanks @stargazer9

I hope someone is making a film of the trip.
It looked really fascinating

InvisibleWomenMustBeRead agree,

The thing is H&M we’re doing really well, SA tour, Megs collab with Smartworks, they were getting good publicity, all of that is overshadowed now by Suing the press and this ITV Doc.
I don’t think Meghan adapted well yet or settled,
Ofcourse seeing her uncomfortable bothers Harry.

But don’t believe that all the criticism is racially motivated, Any bride would have been criticized, imagine the press with no daily RF gossip ? Very dull!

I wish they didn’t agree to the documentary, with everything going on in the UK ATM , they just seem so out of touch with reality.

Harry & Meghan in Africa starting in 10 minutes on ITV

Looks like it is a PR presentation for their move to Africa

I didn't think h and m did get papped in the UK. I don't understand why they can't just have some quiet time in their lovely cottage, hang out with friends, look at how Princess Anne and Sophie lead their lives.

Documentary about Prince Charles and the Duchy of Cornwall on Thursday
