Does anyone want a thread for people who are happy for Harry and Meghan? Thread 4

Hope you don't mind Dave.

After Louis birthday photos H&M announced they would be posting posting photos of Archie on his birthday. What was the need for that? Their PR and timing is dreadful

They announced also known as responded to a direct question from a newspaper who wanted to know.

Interesting that no condemnation of the paper for asking, but much more fun sticking the boot in by reframing the question as H&M making a trumpet heralded announcement.

I really do have to wonder about the world that posters annoyed about "thunder stealing" live in. If they got a new job then would they avoid telling anyone about it if it happened to be their sister's 17th wedding anniversary? It all seems very petty and odd to think that a day "belongs" to only one member of a family. I wonder why Sophie and Camilla weren't accused of stealing Kate's thunder when they dared post about their activities yesterday?

It's a puzzle. Someone should start a thread about it.😂

Sophie and Camilla don’t without fail, make some “newsworthy” announcement every. single. time. a scheduled RF event occurs. People have started commenting widely on this, even on US forums. That’s the difference.

Personally, I find the thirst employed humorous rather than aggravating.

Wonder away. It isn't relevant though. The point is that the RF do have an agreement between them not to "upstage" each other, and so it's rather bad form to do it without prior agreement.

A small tip, the best way to change this from a "negative" thread to a "positive" one is for someone, anyone, to post positive comments and news. No one seems to be doing that

I agree, no one seems to be doing that. Who could possibly have predicted that?

And you know this because they told you personally?

Again, how is a wedding anniversary a "scheduled RF event"? It's an anniversary not an actual wedding!

Don't be daft, Cerceirys, it's common knowledge, and documented.

SussexRoyalPenguin - Well Camilla had 2 video releases on the same day as William and Kate's wedding anniversary, because the one I was referring to was with regard to her becoming vice patron of the Royal Academy of Dance.

I didn't say it was a 'scheduled ' Royal event.

I talked about Cambridge family occasions

The other members of the Royal family do not have a pattern of plopping stuff out on the birthdays and anniversaries of their sibling. It's the ^pattern that is the issue, not that they sometimes do stuff on the same day (esp when announcement is not something that occurred that actual day, which is the majority of their recent ones)

I think it is the most enormous shame they give so much easy ammo to their detractors, and look forward to the next Cambridge birthday to see the end of that pattern.

What, a bit like those "rules" about tights, nail polish and one-shouldered dresses that only appear in the Mail or Hello magazine? If that was the case then surely Camilla and Sophie would've held fire the other day?

Honestly, it's all so ridiculous that you have to wonder what place a monarchy has in the 21st century!

I see the op didn’t reply to my question re the commenting as to whether she was questioning the impartiality of the judge.

As most legal people know the judge is representing the crown when in court. We bow when we enter court rooms. When I did jury service I had to actively stop myself from bowing as I was there in a personal capacity. It wasn’t easy as the habit is ingrained.

So my point is if in the extremely unlikely event the judge is biased (which Im not giving credence to) I doubt he would find against members of the family he is ultimately a representative of.

Also from a legal point of view I’m interested in the outcome whichever way it goes. But then I’ve always been partial to strike out hearings as I find the legal technicalities fascinating.

There is nothing positive to say about them. They have made such an almighty mess of everything. And so many contradictions?. They want privacy and no royal duties. They have left the country. Why even release a picture of Archie.

Vivienne - Because a lot of people still like them and follow them on social media I suppose.

so now all people have got is that they release something on a RF members anniversary/birthday.

oh for the days this was a nice thread.

There is nothing positive to say about them

Strange you would come on a thread entitled 'Does anyone want a thread for people who are happy for Harry & Meghan?' and say that.

It's like going on the Tack Room threads and saying 'I haven't got a horse and I hate them'

@Roussette this thread is often mentioned on other threads. I find it odd that a person is posting on a "critical" thread, the jumps over here to post critical stuff......odd or just stirring.

Yes, both. Very strange indeed. One would think you would want to be with like minded people... but no...

The High Court judge as struck out a lot of Meghan’s claims in her court case. I wonder what the mood will be like in Malibu today?

Who cares, i really dont get why people care so much. The ammount of stuff criticising them just on mn is just weird. I know at these strange times people are looking for stuff to take their minds of things, but why the targeting of these 2.
The whole rf have showed themselves to be really work shy during this crisis. Yet still meghan is ripped apart.
Aside for that, the one thing i have really realised is how little any of the rf do.

Ah, when the numbered threads were running, that were, if you like 'critical' threads, posters would regularly arrive to tell the regular posters there that they were wrong, they shouldn't expect only agreement on the thread, they should be prepared to debate and have their views challenged, and also that they were horrible people. (You might, potentially, call this 'stirring'.)

The MN editorial line was that people can post what they want on threads as long as it's within Talk guidelines and you can't tell other posters that they, or their disagreement with the prevailing mood of the thread, are unwelcome. As a result, what you're seeing now is that same logic applied to other Harry and Meghan threads, except for the bit where someone comes on here to tell all the regulars they are terrible people and should be ashamed of themselves.

Certainly, the phrase "echo-chamber" was used a lot on the numbered threads, and not in a way that gave the impression it was seen as a good thing.
