Harry and Meghan and the intricacies of the Monarchy

[PelicanPie]

Here's a follow on to the last thread, which was really enjoyable.

[StartupRepair]

They really deliver in living down to expectations. They ran away from a highly privileged role supporting charities, the nation and the rest of H's family. I, for one, don't find them inspiring.

[ButteryPuffin]

Actually, thinking about it, scratch that - title has to be penguin related.

[ButteryPuffin]

Can I suggest 'Harry and Meghan: The Lockdown Diaries' as a title?

[7Penguins]

I mean, they sound dafter than Benedict Cumberbatch when he narrated an entire documentary, pronouncing it penguings

Someone needs to start a new thread soon!

[ButteryPuffin]

I'm almost ready to join Insta just so I can comment on their posts with penguin emojis. Nothing else, just rows of penguin emojis.

[Myimaginarypenguinhasfleas]

We all need a penguin at times.

[Froq]

We need each other for truth

He means the penguin thing doesn’t he?

[CanIHaveAPenguinPlease]

I’m sorry but is it just me that finds them hilarious . I mean come on!! They are the gift that keeps giving. I hope they will keep us entertained when in lockdown. I can’t stop laughing.

[DandyPenguin]

There’s still time Buttery.

[ButteryPuffin]

What? Fluffy sounding meaningless nonsense.

They should have nicked my theatre idea.

[LaMarschallin]

Oh dear.

Oh deary dear.

[PerfPower]

Thanks 7Penguins, I don't have Insta. I don't know why they think they're an authority on either the Corona virus or human nature. A lot of words to say absolutely nothing.

[TheTiaraManager]

The post is nonsense! I think they are reminding us all there is more to come & expecting us all to countdown. They are clearly unaware worldwide there is a crisis

[Myimaginarypenguinhasfleas]

It's just rubbish. Words that convey nothing, said for the sake of it. I'm exasperated by the vanity of the writer. This is exactly why I stay away from Instagram.

[Allflightscancelled]

I thought that Bellehare. I'm a proofreader/editor by trade

[BelleharePenguin09]

Or have they checked and accepted that? That is woeful.

[BelleharePenguin09]

This moment is as true a testament there is to the human spirit

What sort of gibberish is this? Have they never heard of checking and editing?

[BelleharePenguin09]

More smoke and mirrors. I trust the experts in the medical science community - no one else. That screed is laughable.

[HarryDaylight]

They are shameless hustlers. Using Covid 19 to boost their brand in this manner with a quasi - regal speech is sickening. A new low.

[SussexRoyalPenguin]

They should post a new photo of Archie. That’s would break the internet.

[derxa]

They are beyond belief

[Strawberrycreamsundae]

Complete bollocks and nausea-inducing.
They honestly make me feel sick.

[DandyPenguin]

I hope with their accurate information and facts they start by informing people that penguins don’t live at the North Pole and Chunga Changa island doesn’t exist.

I’m not saying that snidely but matter of factly. They need to prove their integrity as a trusted source if they’re providing information and facts about what’s a life-or-death matter. Doesn’t matter if that info or facts are coming from scientific sources - it will still be filtered through the Sussex Royal voice.

Cynically I suspect they’re using this opportunity as a way of establishing their “brand” of compassion. And doing it now while they still have Royal in their Instagram name.

[Allflightscancelled]

Utter bollocks

[7Penguins]

Thanks for the heads up, I just checked their account and am facepalming at the self-importance and self-involvement.
Am pasting here for all who don't do Insta. It's absolute tripe, they'll be posting 'truths' and 'inspiration', as if national and world health organisations don't do that! As for inspiration - every local FB page has more helpful posts, with people organising deliveries to vulnerable groups.

Fucking delusions of grandeur these two, I swear.

These are uncertain times. And now, more than ever, we need each other. We need each other for truth, for support, and to feel less alone during a time that can honestly feel quite scary.

There are so many around the world who need support right now, who are working tirelessly to respond to this crisis behind the scenes, on the frontline, or at home. Our willingness, as a people, to step up in the face of what we are all experiencing with COVID-19 is awe-inspiring. This moment is as true a testament there is to the human spirit.

We often speak of compassion. All of our lives are in some way affected by this, uniting each of us globally. How we approach each other and our communities with empathy and kindness is indisputably important right now.

Over the coming weeks, this will be our guiding principle.

We will be sharing information and resources to help all of us navigate the uncertainty: from posting accurate information and facts from trusted experts, to learning about measures we can take to keep ourselves and our families healthy, to working with organisations that can support our mental and emotional well-being.

In addition, we will focus on the inspiring stories of how so many of you around the world are connecting in ways big and small to lift all of us up.

We are all in this together, and as a global community we can support each other through this process – and build a digital neighbourhood that feels safe for every one of us.

We look forward to sharing more over the days and weeks to come...
