Harry and Meghan and the intricacies of the Monarchy

[PelicanPie]

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

Point taken Dandy!!!

😊

Yes, Zara has had two parents with high levels of talent and has made the most of that herself.

ilovellamasandtraitors ooh your name change has warmed up my cold heart. Welcome to The Colony.

Will do dandy ! 👍 😄

Ilovellamasandpenguins 👏👏👏

Princess Anne gives good swear

I knew this would be true. There's no way she can attend Murrayfield regularly and not be able to swear like a trooper. I think I read somewhere that the Queen Mother was also a total potty mouth, and, if The King's Speech movie is to be believed, so was George VI

The Cape Penguins in South Africa are both cute and feisty. I hope they aren't suffering. Has anyone asked them?

My name change may be classed as having ‘my cake and eating it’

I can’t not love llamas, but I can love penguins too.

Speaking as someone currently in self-isolation, I'm also worried about what is going on in the world re Coronavirus. I think most of us are feeling the same way.

I'm not holding H&M responsible for that reported comment as it came from an unnamed source. But talk about stating the bleedin' obvious!

I bet PA is both tremendous fun and utterly terrifying.

Depends whether you’re a rich middle-aged man or a teenaged girl.

Oh hang on, you’re talking about Princess Anne and not Prince Andrew ..

Yep, I see an ad with HAM on this thread, pretty funny

1) A single poster reports on vicious content on Instagram (which most here finds abhorrent)
2) Then other posters comments as a) astonishing that some people are so awful b) it does seem that the Sussexes needs better marketing advice given some things they post/do
3) Suddenly we are all a horrible, awful bunch of vipers

That's the trouble with attempts to police threads and making dog whistle suggestions of racism, instead of quietly reporting whatever seems necessary and leaving it to HQ. There's also the risk of looking pretty silly if, having flounced and made clear what you're doing, it's found that HQ don't see it the same way

Much better, surely, to do as they ask us and keep arguments about the actual content off the threads

I too have had the dodgy advert, although I didn’t want to click on the link.

I also found this bd I can’t wait until September.

Happy Half Birthday H!

Love it, Sussex!

"a thread like this that attracts a certain type of person to hang around it
Yup, that's me, I'm that certain type who's very attracted to this thread and the lovely, funny, erudite and charming regular posters on it, and usually just hang around but every now and then - like now - decide to respond.

Awww. What a nice 🐧 post!

And speaking for myself I'm very happy that you do, CleansUpPenguinPoo

That is ever so slight heartbreaking, Bella...

I've had a long conversation with the Dog about Penguins.

We have agreed that they share common ground - swimming.

As a dog with ambitions (having her own FB page, and a plan to set up a series of international theme parks a la Hairy Potter author JK Growling) she has decided that there may be a way for her to monetise the Penguin connection.

She is considering going to dinner with Jessica Mulroney. Her table manners are very good, but she does moult a bit.

Belle, I had to look twice at that picture - it's wonderful! Where did you find it and what other treasures are there along that line?!

Sophie Gregoire’s symptoms, according to reports, are very mild. So I don’t believe the reports of H & M being very “concerned” about her.

CleansUp you are sweet
