Well Harry is looking quite good. Suntanned and healthy. The glow of new parent perhaps. Just seen his video on Diana awards and he looked so happy when visiting Wellchild too.

I'm sure his charities were happy to keep in touch with him.

@Roussette I think they are doing a bit more than just showing respect to the Queen. They have called their daughter after her, told the world what she bought Archie for Christmas, intimated that they zoom or phone her regularly and so on. But not a posit word about his father, brother, aunts etc. Seems more like sucking up than showing respect to me 🤣

smilesy · 08/07/2021 20:13

Positives. Not posit 🙄

'FWIW I think they are quite rightly showing respect to the Queen, and I think you understand that'

Hmm, see I wouldn't say they are showing respect to the Queen. For example, by alleging M had no support despite the Queen ensuring she had experienced staff at her disposal or by alleging that the rf are racist. Creeping round the Queen and name dropping into every cbs interview or cheerleader Scobie comment to maintain their Royal relevance is not showing respect either. I bet the Queen knows exactly what their game is.

I mean PC is his df. He never gets a mention does he. Despite H gushing about how spiffing he was right up until, oo, 2017?

Obviously the speculation could have been more than once. Prior to the marriage and after she was pregnant. What is so unbelievable about that?

I’m curious about all of those defending Anne. If it was established that her comments were racists (assuming it was Anne, and that there was an actual investigation). Would you try to minimise it and say oh, she is old school etc etc?

I wonder if people who excuse racism are usually closet or causal racists themselves. Just as those that excuse or minimise misogyny are usually misogynistic at core

I don’t think any thinking person would defend racism these days. The actual racists of course keep very quiet.

Personally, I just don’t want to jump to a conclusion about an unspecific comment from an unspecified person. I was thinking the BRF’s version would be released at some point but apparently not.

Could have/ maybe who tf knows. If it happened should have been addressed at the time rather than H storing it up to tell later. As I've said a thousand times they didn't like Thomas Markle doing these grubby interviews so why did they? .

Gorgeouslilgirl · 08/07/2021 20:52

Ricki, I thought no one would defend racism. Just as I thought no one would excuse misogyny.

But sadly there are many who would. The usual defence by racist and misogynistic excusers is “that’s just the way it is” or “that she was asking for it” or “she is making it up because she is a trouble maker/attention seeker/ difficult”

And unfortunately they are not quiet either! Just look at he DF comment section. Full of bottom feeders!

'And her ( paraphrasing here) I just rang the Queen to check about Philip (we’re soooo close).I’m surprised she didn’t try to ring in front of Oprah for the interview to emphasise the point'

I know! So transparent. Poor prince Charles does not get a look in. It's the Queen all the way for their US audience.

CathyorClaire · 08/07/2021 21:22

If I'd been her, and this makes me laugh because I'm a five foot one civil servant with looks that don't stop the traffic...... I'd have got married in a much, much smaller venue

According to her, she did.

I'd consider myself financially independent in a house worth 15mil
First thing I'd do would be sell it for a house worth 5million and live comfortably with no worries

ITA.

Esp. If I only had a paltry £34m banked already.

I was just wondering if (God forbid!) the Queen passes away tomorrow, would they have to suddenly change their allegiance 🤔🤣

smilesy · 08/07/2021 21:34

If she were to pass away. Not passes away. I am not privy to that kind of information 😂

Yes I think they'd probably have to shine a light on that relationship and reach out to the then King and forgive him. For their cbs ratings obvs.
Roussette · 08/07/2021 22:06

For goodness sake, give them some credit, the Queen is still alive and yet you're saying this?

upinaballoon · 08/07/2021 22:16

@smilesy

I think the “recollections may vary” was in response to the interview as a whole, not specifically to the allegations of racism.
I agree. I always took it to refer to the whole of the interview, and therefore included everyone's recollections about everything they talked of.

You know the way a good parent looks after and supports his or her child. Does there come a point in our lives when it's about time we started sending that support in the other direction, or do we all remain the babies of our parents for the whole of our lives? I am not talking about financial support only.

SueSaid · 08/07/2021 22:24

'Then - ‘Charles adores me obviously’ he gave me away at my second wedding (not the first one three days before that no one knows about). He said I was the daughter he never had. We FaceTime all the time, I just rang him earlier - see call history on my phone'

Grin

Its all so depressingly predictable isn't it!

Zuluqueen · 08/07/2021 22:26

Does it seem okay to constantly mock and bully Meghan like this by some posters? . Why is there a need to dehumanize her so much?. I

Tbh it's Harry i scrutinise more. He has behaved appallingly and deserves all the criticism he gets.
Roussette · 08/07/2021 22:29

I have no idea @Zuluqueen
It's beyond me. Doesn't matter if she's heavily pregnant or just had a baby.. still happens.
All on a parenting site too Hmm

For all their going on about compassion and kindness they don't seem to give a thought to the well breig and mental health of Thomas Markle who has been thrown to the dogs in the most heartless manner.

Zuluqueen · 08/07/2021 22:58

Oh no have at it, pull her up on anything and everything. The goal posts always move in order to justify attacks on Meghan . Doesn’t matter if she had been in the news or not . The attacks keep coming. Every few days there is one thing or another reported in press that she seems to deserve being attacked for. I was just surprised at the cruelty / mocking nature of some of the above posts . But I need not be, I should know by now how the RF threads are. Deuces✌🏻
