To be shocked at some RF members turning their back?

[fiheka]

It has been reported that some Royal Family members literally turned their back on Prince Harry at Prince Philip's funeral and refused to even acknowledge him.
I have had extended family members behave badly and are in no hurry to be friendly. But I think this is appalling behaviour. I would never do that and especially not at a funeral.
It reminds me of that video being shared where William and Kate totally snub and ignore Harry and Meghan.
It is just so rude and awful.

Sorry I think that is wrong to ban someone from a funeral.

It was a funeral with social distancing and the world’s media watching. They all were in mourning and probably wanted to be with their own thoughts before returning to their respective homes. It was hardly an occasion to be hugging and having a jolly catch up.

But what happens is the person who has died categorically states they do not want that person there? It’s their funeral, so surely their final wishes should be what is followed.

There is a big difference between hugging and simply saying hello. You don't have to blank someone.

I’d have blanked him too.
Causing all that stress as Prince Philip lay dying.
The spoilt man child is insufferable.

But once again as many have pointed out you're talking about something that didn't happen. He wasn't blanked, he was spoken to and people didn't turn their back on him.

Um the footage would say that reporting is likely bullshit. It wasn’t the time for fond hellos, they entered and left seperatley.

However if it’s true quite frankly I can’t blame them. They’ve been rude to the queen, and accused the family of being racist, and then fed misinformation in that interview. I’d ignore him too.

@PegPeople No one is saying Kate and William turned their back on Harry at the funeral. Although Kate especially was rude at the CC.

@Bluntness100 also everyone always seems to think it is worse being accused of racism than being racist.

I'm not just talking about Kate or William. I'm saying there is no evidence anyone at the funeral did any of the things you're claiming they did?

You obviously where not at my grandmother's funeral. My aunt and her family ignored us and refused to keep us in the loop of the arrangements. My cousin wanted to talk to us but her sister made sure to stay back so she could not talk to us. It annoyed me that they spent the whole run up to the funeral saying Prince William was going to make up with his brother

No there is no evidence. But plenty of news stories saying that. The RF do squash totally untrue stories of this magnitude, so I think it has some truth.
And seeing the way Harry and Meghan were treated at CC shows the RF have no problem in totally blanking another family member. And there is clear evidence that happened.
I was always taught to be polite at family events, whatever had happened. You don't have to be best friends, but you don't act so ignorantly.

@YorkshireIndie Your Aunt was in the wrong.

Imagine someone posted on here that they had a family member causing all sorts of trouble knowing a senior member of the family was on his deathbed, and the same family member hadn't been back to see the senior before they died, how many posters would have recommended going NC?

I find it hard to have sympathy for anyone that wears a Nazi costume for amusement. How quickly people forget-he’s hardly exemplary!

@Heyha Imagine someone posting on here that they had been accused of being racist by another family member and were so outraged that they wanted to cut that person out of the family?
People would be asking whether the OP was racist.

Also as I understand it very few members of the family visited Philip before he died. His children and wife. Plenty of other grandchildren did not visit him.

And the RF frankly are not like us. The Queen did not go to Archies christening or two of Williams children's christenings either. I can not imagine that happening in my family either.

Perhaps they were feeling emotional and had nothing nice to say? Especially as they were of the belief anything they did say would be reported by "sources close to the couple" and they were right about that as soon as he got back sources say talks didnt go well Charles is pissed at Harry Charles didnt talk to him privately etc etc etc

It would be way worse had someone really said something nasty to him

Your taught as a child if you cant say anything nice say nothing

People will see and believe what they want to believe, you have may this perfectly obvious.

For gods sake! What a load of tosh. Tbh I'm surprised he even had the tail to turn up and if that's all they did he should count himself lucky

Being polite is not appearing on TV and dragging your family’s name through the mud with a series of half truths and headlines that had been doctored; not levelling serious allegations and then refusing to say who made them (thereby causing suspicion to fall on innocent people); and not doing it whilst the Duke of Edinburgh was dying.

Yet (and in those circumstances) you think the fault is with the royals for not being ‘polite’ and fawning over Harry? Seriously?

I think the royal family were the model of restraint at the funeral, especially Kate facilitating conversation with Harry.

At the church service you mention, Harry and Megan had just kicked off as they were no longer senior royals so were not entitled to take part in the procession (as they did the previous year). Wills and Kate agreed to sit out of the procession too to keep the peace. Not very ‘polite’ to resign very publicly but then insist on the perks of the job. No wonder Wills and Kate were frosty!

Of course he turned up. It was his grandfathers funeral.
And I can not imagine Diana would be happy for the RF to treat him this way. But then they treated her pretty appallingly as well.

[quote fiheka]@Megan2018 yes that was very wrong. Harry says himself he did not understand racism until Meghan taught him more.
William is also rumoured to have dressed in a racist costume for a party but the photos have been removed from the internet.[/quote]
You cant just remove something from the Internet the press don't ask permission before they print articles they just print them and once they are out there they are found easily

I find it amazing that MM is able to look past her own DH’s overt racism - calling his military colleagues “rg heads” and “pkis” as well as wearing an SS uniform - whilst they both point the finger elsewhere.

I also can’t understand how someone so politically progressive and left leaning would have even entertained a date with someone from an archaic establishment system - bloated, fed and funded by the exploited humble worker - let alone joined it.

How fluid are her values?

Harry literally had to do several courses about racism are you really saying he is that thick he didn't learn a damm thing? You have a low opinion of him dont you
