I always encourage anyone and everyone to vote. I'm not thinking of becoming an MP though!

A member of the U.K. royal family has no business interfering in USA politics on any scale , they are supposed to be impartial!
Are they no longer members of the royal family?
Have they renounced their titles and position yet?

I think encouraging voter registration in a democratic election is a positive position that any decent person with a platform should promote and support.

It seems very strange to hark back to the British Empire to cricitise Harry - it was hundreds of years ago, let it go. Anyway Meghan is American and it is entirely right she should encourage people to register to vote - especially as BAME people are less likely to be registered and have been less likely to vote. This is important stuff. Using it at another reason to criticise MM just comes across as petty.

@Rousette, I believe that I am far more qualified to comment on MM's actions re voting than you as an American citizen and how it is perceived. You really have no clue and are clutching straws.

@Roussette

Are you talking about America as part of the British Empire 400 years ago!? Very DM!

I look at it far more simply.

As I said... anyone of influence or fame urging people to vote is a good thing AFAIC. How can you not understand that (just to mirror back to you what you said to me!)

Of course we can differ in opinion on what I've said. Nothing wrong in that.

Please could you tell me what the C stands for in AFAIC you use? I'm racking my brains here to work it out: 'as far as I C...?'. Thanks

It's a bit like Ivanka Trump sitting on a park bench whilst telling everyone in the UK to vote, with heavy hints as to which way the direction of said vote should be.

Also you, @TheNavigator. MM insists on being labelled the Duchess of Sussex in these pleas to vote. Really, not on.

You put it soooo much better than me TheNav.

More influential people who have a platform should be encouraging people to vote. I don't call that 'interfering in politics'.

AFAIC - as far as I'm concerned!

It's nothing rude!

Of course as an american citizen you carry more sway. If you want to say I haven't a clue... that's your prerogative. However... we're on a UK forum and I have an opinion.

To put is an a way that Rousette and TheNavigator would understand, it would be comparable to Jamie Lee Curtis putting out an avert to Get Out the Vote with Lady Haden-Guest under her picture instead of Jamie Lee Curtis. Do you not see the difference?

Harry and Megan markle can do as they please , the duke and duchess of Sussex cannot !
It's as simple as that really !

I am surprised an American citizen would not applaud anyone seeking to encourage voter registration in the upcoming election. Democracy works best the more people who participate. I cannot see how anyone can put a negative spin on encouraging voter registration. At yet people find a way....sigh.

Thanks Roussette (I didn't think it would be rude)

I agree with this, but I definitely do not think that she should do it while using a title of the BRF.

it would be comparable to Jamie Lee Curtis putting out an avert to Get Out the Vote with Lady Haden-Guest under her picture instead of Jamie Lee Curtis.

Which would be perfectly fine?

So, @Rousette, perfectly fine if Boris Johnson put out an avert to the US to vote (actually, he would have a reason as an ex-US citizen). To turn the tables, how about if Asthma as-Assad urged US voters to vote using the title of First Lady of Syria?

Jesus = no using a foreign title is NOT fine in the US if you are making a US political message!

Everyone should be encouraging people to vote. Period.

The thing is.... the articles label them as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
They don't sit on the garden seat and call themselves that.
Whilst this might be labelled as 'clutching at straws' it is true, and they can't control what the press calls them.
I think that even if they were to give up their titles the Press would quite likely still call them that

Asma al-Assad urging UK voters (she was born in London and educated here)

Boris is our PM. It's a little different I would've said. And knowing him, I can imagine him doing it!

Actually Rousette, they insist on the titles. Time Magazine originally used just Harry in Meghan in their advert blurbs and had to change this as someone complained.

If they give up the titles and the press still use them , that wouldn't be their fault and I would applaud them for trying. However they haven't .

Which Time magazine blurb? Was it one on the subject we're talking about... encouraging voting?
Or something else

I agree jeff. Yes, agreed, and no they haven't

And if they do, all the boxes will be ticked
