In light of the several upcoming engagements for W&K while H&M allegedly take a 6 week break!

The Obamas were on an official visit and the Cambridges have never claimed they are protecting George’s privacy.
Whereas everyone who visits Frogmore gets a cuddle with Archie and talks about it. Jane Goodall, Ellen, Hillary...

Christ aren't they rude, having guests visit their home Confused

QueenOfTheAndals · 15/11/2019 09:59

I don't think Hillary has talked about it. It's been reported in the Mail but she's not said anything on IG or Twitter as far as I can see. And is it really a big deal if she has met him? Protecting his privacy doesn't mean keeping him under lock and key 24/7!

So people they invite into their home meet their baby. Your problem with this is.......?

The only interest people have in meeting Harry and Meghan are because they are the grandson and granddaughter in law of the Queen of England.
I don’t suppose the former First Lady and Secretary of State thought to herself. I’ve still got that letter that former actress from suits sent me when She was 11. I must stop off on my book tour and meet her and her baby.
Meghan and Harry owe everything they currently enjoy to an accident of birth / marriage and still moan and need time off from their arduous lives. Not even #firstworldproblems but #paradisesyndrome

I think they do (rightly) claim this quite often. It’s why pictures of him are stage managed and not frequent.

Well yes but that applies to all royals doesn't it?

And the Cambridges may not talk about protecting their kids' privacy but they sure as hell do! When did you last see a photo of George or Charlotte that wasn't officially sanctioned or taken at a very public event like the polo where, I assume, there is an agreement between their parents and the press.

If the Clinton visit thing is true - well, what’s wrong with a high profile American wanting to meet the only American to join the British RF? Why is it a problem?

BertrandRussell · 15/11/2019 10:45

And when did H&M last say anything about privacy for Archie? Have they said anything since before he was born?

BertrandRussell · 15/11/2019 10:50

The shame about it being a private meeting is we’ll never know what anyone wore. Clinton a red, blue or beige trouser suit of course. Harry a fleece, ill fitting trousers and desert boots- but Meghan? Who knows!

Inniu · 15/11/2019 10:52

I would imagine that Meghan and Hilary have lots of common interests and both have public platforms to further their interests so would have lots to talk about. They both also received huge amounts of public scrutiny so could bond over that.

@CurlyWurlyTwirly Totally agree.

Halloween Grin true. I bet he wore a fleece. That's why it's a "secret". The shame!

ajandjjmum · 15/11/2019 11:51

Probably better than that crumpled grey suit. Grin

PinkSun9 · 15/11/2019 12:23

Hillary Clinton met William n Kate too, to discuss climate and environmental issues. Don't know whether the issue of using 2 empty commercial aircrafts for a holiday to Scotland came up or not.

It seems MM heard about Hillary n Chlsea speak on Radio5 about the bullying and racism she is subjected to, and to show her appreciation she invited Hillary for a cuppa.

DevonUkelele · 15/11/2019 12:38

Probably better than that crumpled grey suit. ... comes with those same suede crap desert boot things tho, doesn't it? Wales boys their colours done aka just fashion advice.

thisenglishlife · 15/11/2019 13:01

Can anyone explain why Hilary Clinton was visiting Meghan and Harry? What is the connection exactly?

Can anyone explain why Prince Andrew was visiting convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (who always had unaccompanied teenage girls with him)? What is the connection exactly?

thisenglishlife · 15/11/2019 13:03

#somemengetawaywitheverything

But women existing and wearing expensive outfits, right?

BertrandRussell · 15/11/2019 13:03

“ Can anyone explain why Hilary Clinton was visiting Meghan and Harry? ”

More to the point- can anyone explain why she shouldn’t?

ajandjjmum · 15/11/2019 13:06

That was the airlines fault, not W & C. They wanted the marketing for their brand, so flew a branded airline in to take them to Scotland. Probably worth it in terms of their advertising, if not carbon footprint.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 15/11/2019 13:11

What about flying to the US and back in one day to watch a tennis match?

thisenglishlife · 15/11/2019 13:12

W&K use private jets - like all royals have. They have used The Duke of Westminster's one many times, once they used it shortly after his death, which was reported negatively at the time.

TokyoSushi · 15/11/2019 13:24

Pictures of Kate today looking very pink, and very, well, Kate!

paradyning · 15/11/2019 13:27

That is one of my favourite colours. Love it. But not so much the style unfortunately
