Previous thread

I’m not the original OP of the series. That credit must go to @TheMustressMhor
I just stepped in when the last thread filled up with no replacement

There is still an appetite for discussion / gossip depending on your POV.
I asked for MN to put it in the Royal Family topic as the subject is no longer headline news; but still ticking along. I think those people who are interested will find it and add their comments regardless of its location.

I say only what I know.

I experienced a thread being on Harry and Meghan being pulled.

You say that doesn't happen. Whatever!

William and Kate will get a warm welcome everywhere they go.

They understand what MM does not: the RF are immensely privileged and rich - but the trade-off is having to appear in public and show an interest in subjects which may be very boring to them.

MM is clearly not keen to undertake the bread-and-butter royal work. It seems that she wants the sycophancy and riches only.

Thanks for your reply @HopeMumsnet Smile

JulietJanuary · 15/01/2020 13:35

Ok thank You.

Trexical
Tragic as it was, Diana died as a direct result of binning her security, getting into a car with a drunken driver, and not fastening her seatbelt.

How was the women's refuge visit arranged so quickly and at whose request I wonder? The original plan was for them to be back in the uk so how is there a planned engagement in Vancouver?
She can't win now so were I her I would lie low and take the break she apparently so desperately needed.
Or else there are plenty of women's refuge's in the UK she could have visited-what's the difference?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 15/01/2020 13:37

Can I just say thank you, @HopeMumsnet, for your confirmation that deliberate attempts to get threads deleted are happening

On one level many of us realise this, but of course it's always denied so your post has provided some clarity at last

ajandjjmum I agree with you but just imagine that happening to your mum and then learning that as she lay dieing photographers vied for position to take pictures of her ...I'm sure your views of the press would be forever neutral Hmm

I only caught the tail end of someone being interviewed this morning, sorry no idea who they were but what I found interesting was that they were defending Meghan (their prerogative of course) and made it clear that they were not a monarchist and didn’t pay any attention and wasn’t interested when H & M got married, so what I didn’t get is why she is interested now?

Parker231 · 15/01/2020 13:41

They have renounced their rights as a international protected person (usual status for senior members of RF) so there will be no security bills whilst they split their lives between UK and Canada.

TheMustressMhor · 15/01/2020 13:41

Can I suggest to posters that we stick to the subject matter in hand and report vigorously any posts which seem to breach the Talk Guidelines?

Getting into arguments with possible trolls will derail the thread(s).

OVienna · 15/01/2020 13:42

Trexical, discussing M&H, given their current situation, sparked entirely by their own actions/decision making, is an entirely fair entry point into a more general discussion about the Royal Family. There is absolutely no basis to argue it is not.

WendyMoiraAngelaDarling · 15/01/2020 13:42

By Meghan bashers. Please don’t forget that. The only people MNHQ have discovered engaging in malicious fake reports, sock puppeting and forcing their way back in after being banned are the posters who hate Meghan and are attempting to get Meghan defenders kicked off

Not the other way around

So it's only going one way you say?

Nonsense!

notmoresheep · 15/01/2020 13:44

Trexical then Harry’s negative views of the press would surely have been foremost in their decision to quietly manage a step back following private discussions with the family rather than plotting and suddenly plastering their announcement on Insta. for maximum publicity.

yet more cake. eat.

'what's the difference between an historical historian and an historian ?'
'Probably the same as the difference between a litigation lawyer and a lawyer.'

^^ Yep, you got me Grin

TheMustressMhor · 15/01/2020 13:47

Well, I'm a midwife.

A childbirth midwife.

This is very interesting. Please can you share your source?

From The Times - Harry and Meghan 'renounce' claim to security around globe. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have dropped their public claim to be “internationally protected people” in a sign that security is proving to be one of the most difficult subjects in negotiations about their future.

TheMustressMhor · 15/01/2020 13:52

They do this the second the thread isn’t going the way they want it to, eg universal hatred towards Meghan.

FFS.

These threads do not exist merely to bash Meghan!
