Club Penguin Royal - the intricacies of the monarchy etc

[yoloPenguinsEatfish]

Have taken the liberty of starting a new fred if no one else has?

They haven't hit the ground running with their new life, have they. Nothing much seems to be happening apart from that JP Morgan event.

Every time William gets publicity there will be a post from the Sussexes. As sure as night follows day.

This is one area where the RF did fail him, because if Diana had lived you can be sure she would have made him feel loved and valued and would have helped him find his own identity - something I believe he is still struggling with.

Still irritated by the insta post. How self-serving to use a global crisis to uplift your own brand.

I’m daydreaming about being paid 2mil a year with no obligations attached to it...

I’ll happily put up with a SIL that doesn’t hug me and a BIL who’s not very friendly.

Yes, terrible, Startup.

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

"as true a testament" as what? It doesn't sound right. Also "as a people" doesn't sound right either.

Harry and Meghan will use their platform for good once again,' wrote one, while a second penned: 'Thanks for your uplifting Post.'

From the DM. All the lolz.

HaM: the gift that keeps on giving.

M trying as ever to capture the zeitgeist of the time, all done to show themselves in a good light. I can't believe some of the clips on their IG page - made to make her look such a hero, so often is she the focus. It really is all about her.

Is it an age thing? Those in their 20s and early 30s seem to be their fanbase and who H&M reflect and tap into. Those in their 50s (me) seem more capable to see through the flannel. Being half Scots too reduces their potency to sway you, as mentioned upthread .

I managed to miss the whole previous thread, so have no idea why you're all wittering on about penguins. Bollards to the lot of you, that's hat I say!

Nhadn't really noticed much from H&M and would have thought this was an ideal time to live quietly without press intrusion

Morning penguins, puffins and all - very pleased to hear some families have been safely reunited, and sending all the best to those showing symptoms or feeling unwell. Going back to lurking now, am in the happy position of a well stocked house and OH's symptoms maneagable for the moment so right now with the penguins dragons all cleaned and fed, I have a purring cat on my lap, cup of tea handy and a big stack of books to catch up on, and of course, that very helpful advice from the soon to be ex-royals to help me get through self-isolation.

Thank you all for your amusing and interesting posts which I'll be dipping in and out of. Stay safe..

Hello WinnieThePenguin

There's someone on the Sussex's IG called sussexpenguinpatrol - a Mumsnetter maybe

Why is it always her prattling on anyway. We never hear from him.

How do we know it's her? Sorry, if this is obvious, I don't do Instagram and haven't looked at their website. I was just wondering if he's picked up the bad word salad habit too....

Is this toxic family the same “ family Meghan never had “? ( engagement interview )
In other news HM and PP are in Windsor Castle and there has been a suggestion that PW temporarily takes over given that PC is 70+.
I think we can guarantee another inspirational post from the Sussexes today !

If William steps up much sooner than expected, Harry and Meghan will find themselves in a very unfortunate situation.

I am almost certain William will be much stricter than HM when deciding what to give them.

Will Harry get called up to the army in the current crisis?

Well had they stayed working royals, Harry probably could have done some good PR with the military. As it is they seem to be trying to hide out in Canada while still trying to be in the press but no one really cares.

I imagine they must be super strict with hygiene and social distancing around both the Queen and Charles. There are some real constitutional risks to them both getting Corona.

PC nearly shook someone’s hand today on an official engagement.

How do we know it's her? Sorry, if this is obvious

They have quite different writing styles, which is why it's also obvious when she has tweaked his speeches.

This. Any time you read a word salad, it's Meghan. The notion of less being more doesn't register with her.

Thanks fleas and winterlife. That makes sense

A regular poster on these threads is unable to join us at the moment but she has not forgotten you all. Some of you may enjoy her blog. www.the-robbing-butcher.co.uk

Thank you for well wishes!

According to doctor I spoke to on phone I do have COVID-19 going by symptoms. My whole house is in quarantine, and I’m self-isolating from the rest of them as much as I can as I’m the only one sick so far.

But I don’t need to isolate myself from you lot

I will however be isolating that Instagram page from my weary and bleary eyes.

Dandy hopefully it’s the light version and you’ll feel much better in a few days
Post more, we are starved of puns!
