Harry and Meghan statement on Afghanistan

[Mummyoflittledragon]

“The world is exceptionally fragile right now.
As we all feel the many layers of pain due to the situation in Afghanistan, we are left speechless.
As we all watch the growing humanitarian disaster in Haiti, snd the threat of it worsening after last weekend’s earthquake, we are left heartbroken.
And as we all witness the continuing global health crisis, exacerbated by the new variants and constant misinformation, we are left scared.
When any person or community suffers, a piece of each of us does so with them, whether we realise it or not. And though we are not meant to live in a state of suffering, we are as a people, being conditioned to accept it. It’s easy to find ourselves feeling powerless, but we can put our values into action - together.
To start, we encourage you to join us in supporting a number of organisations doing critical work. We also urge those in positions of global influence to rapidly advance the humanitarian dialogues that are expected to take place this fall at multilateral gatherings such as the U.N. General Assembly and the Leader’s Summit.
As an international community, it is the decisions we make now - to alleviate suffering among those we know and those we may never meet - that will prove our humanity.”

H&M are being criticised for making this about them and for not calling out Biden, notably the FLOTUS is report as being a personal friend of H.

What do mumsnetters think?

He came from an enormous wealth to be able to do that, as you and I well know. We're both probably engaging on here with Microsoft. H&M are just starting.

Let's not spoil this special relationship we've found ourselves in Corona , we were doing so well lol

H&M need to MAKE it first. before setting out a "foundation".

Gates did not come from enormous wealth, he made it! 😅 And most importantly, he is giving away most of it.

As much as this pair want it, they are not in that league yet - nor the Obama's league! And they are even relegated from the Clooney league it seems 😂. It is all a slippery slope - it will be back to b-list very soon 🏝

Yes . Exactly. You can’t be a philanthropist when you don’t work and have no money yourself. Apart from Mummy’s millions which they are keeping for themselves . I won’t mention the millions M has supposedly made from Suits. Where that has gone nobody knows.

Presumably, to carry out any meaningful level of philanthropy you need more than just a few millions?

You definitely haven't got enough money when you have your friends flying you back home from a "charity" polo match through the back door.

@Roussette

I annoy myself so don't worry smilesy lol

You haven't been insulting to me --yet- but

All I'm saying is summed up in the body of my post really.....

not directed at you specifically but I just wish everyone would let this couple go
Leave it
Suck it up
They've gone.

So what.... they have a whinge in a book. It's absolutely nothing . All the Royals do it at some point.

I think the RF have far far more to address than H&M. They've gone. They have to look to the future, address the PA problem, address how they will model themselves in the future when the Q goes... which who knows could be soon (I had parents this age who died within weeks of each other)

Look to the future, I just wish the press would stop this clickbait nonsense with H&M because all it says to me is no wonder they left

Meghan is that you?

Let’s not start that again. I’ve had enough of name calling etc for today 🙄🤣

Meghan is that you?

Makes a change from being called Doria, or Jessica or a shill or a bot, or a poor deluded old dear, and far worse that I won't repeat....

But never mind, I liked my post so much now I've re-read it, and was tempted to copy and paste it onto here again, but you've re-quoted it, so all is good, I'll put up with being called Meghan for that, so thank you!

I know Roussette isn't a bot because she knows too much about the appalling scripts and plotting on Coronation Street. That is a wonderful thread where we don't analyse the drama with the intensity of Shakespeare scholars.

You can't bot that

You recognise the twaddle I post Spindle
Corrie thread is deffo un-bot-able as the humour in it is exceedingly finely tuned, we'd recognise a bot on there from miles away

Where’s the Corrie thread ??

Rousseau is a nice name, I think of him when I see yours.

And yet here we all are, gossiping about H and M, I reckon its Mumsnets fault for having a "Royal Family" forum. It can only be for a good gossip?

I'd like that thread, will have a look for it.

Here it is! All welcome! Sense of humour required!

Roussette is a french wine... what does that say about me, yikes

Sorry for derail but @Roussette did you see Patrick Grant in Masterchef? What a disaster 😱🤣

@smilesy

Sorry for derail but *@Roussette* did you see Patrick Grant in Masterchef? What a disaster 😱🤣

Likewise sorry for derail. He was hopeless. Rousette, think I’ve spotted you on sewing bee threads. Patrick and Esme - necklaces to equal or excel Prue Leith - are fab.

@smilesy @SallyLockheart

Yes, sorry to derail too.. but Patrick oh Patrick what on earth happened, I really don't want breakfast in bed from you now
