They are no longer working members of the Royal Family so have they gone to New York as private citizens?

How do they get to meet with Chelsea Clinton at the WHO offices and UN officials and politicians?

According to the Mail (I know, I know) they had federal protection.

Do Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (as they are styled there) have much clout in the US? Why?

Do people really still think being woke is an insult?.

It really isn't.
Those same people would be so insulated if called Gammons etc. mind you.

I think there is RF worthy news like Charles’s trusted man scandal. I thought that would be more relevant to the UK taxpayers than Meghan’s engagement ring
MN did not even bother with starting a thread on those news.

Oh and I haven’t heard Meghan lecturing anybody especially in the UK about the environment.

No she never did. Harry went to a closed google meeting to talk about Travelyst carbon offset - which he did, and Meghan has been accused ever since.

Also H&M never said they despise the RF, they were just unhappy with the racism and mh approach of it. Nor did they ever say they want privacy. People have nothing to on them, so they make it up as they go.

*insulated - insulted

IsabelBeck · 26/09/2021 17:30

Well, at the moment Prince Andrew is presumed innocent until found guilty. I said on the PA thread that I can't imagine how a man with integrity wouldn't be doing everything he could to prove his innocence. Alas, integrity has never been a characteristic I'd associate with Prince Andrew. Let's hope Virginia has her day in court soon.

Have they said RECENTLY they want a christening in Windsor and to come back for Christmas?

Missed that

Roussette · 26/09/2021 17:33

@rubicscubicle

Exactly.
A lot of hearsay

Harry said that flashing bulbs give him PTSD. Funny that particular issue seems to have gone completely.

Not quite on the scale as PA having some condition even medics have not heard of that mean he can't sweat as VG described him in the night club .

Roussette · 26/09/2021 17:51

Lol and all the pics of him looking verrrry sweaty

Viviennemary · 26/09/2021 17:52

They havent conveyed their wishes re the christening to me personally. Grin. But it was widely reported Harry expressed this wwish at the Diana statue unveiling and wanted a meeting with the Queen to arrange it all. The Courtiers were said to be appalled. Now its said that is not likely to happen. So their next best bet to push back in is at Christmas. Nice photo op for their Netflix series. Will Harry be wearing his not very hidden wires. Good luck with that.

Washeduponthebeach · 26/09/2021 17:59

I wonder if the heavy costs M has been wearing are to disguise recording equipment.

Washeduponthebeach · 26/09/2021 17:59

Coats

Yes that really takes the biscuit. He’s so much more elevated than the plebs he has different sweat glands.
Roussette · 26/09/2021 18:04

I haven't read the request to come back for Christmas but I don't read the DM

smilesy · 26/09/2021 18:04

I agree that they have not “lectures” about the environment. But as I said, Global Citizen cites environmental concerns as one of its main raison d’etres, and they have highlighted Greta Thunberg as an inspiration and her campaigning along with other environmental concerns in the past. I just though they and other celebrities would be well positioned to set a good example 🤷‍♀️

PreparationPreparationPrep · 26/09/2021 18:09

@Viviennemary Do you have links to the M&H asking to come back for Xmas.

I found this - the last paragraph is interesting but as we know we can't believe everything in the papers.

Widely reported = made up by the Mail and/or Express 🙄
Roussette · 26/09/2021 18:20

The DM would love them to come back for Christmas, think of the clicks!

rubicscubicle · 26/09/2021 18:24

Don't remember his exact words, but why do I think you made PTSD up?
I remember him telling Tom Bradby that the camera clicks take him back, reminded of the bad things, festering wound etc. But I understood this to mean the British press and comparing them to how unfair and mean they were to his mum and now his wife. Can't see how he would be unhappy with other media, eg in Africa and other countries there are no barbed nasty takes and pettiness, just straightforward reports on them. So they seem to look more relaxed there, over here, I guess there is always the dread of knowing, everything will be twisted in a negative light.
Guess what he said another one to be twisted.

MN? Did you start a thread?

rubicscubicle · 26/09/2021 18:42

I'm not the one starting thread to slag off H&M and pretending it's just a discussion.

Also, I did state it several times on another thread and it was ignored, even though the issue was about rf name trading etc.

derxa · 26/09/2021 19:16

in Africa and other countries Africa is not a country.

rubicscubicle · 26/09/2021 19:26

I did not say it was a country.

But I did mean in Africa as a continent and in other countries around the world in Asia, Europe etc.

smilesy · 26/09/2021 19:35

But Diana died in Paris. The paps were following her there. And surely pap clicks are the same in any country. Can’t see why they would be more triggering in one place than another. You react to the click if it’s your trigger. You don’t stop and think “ah it’s ok, these are different paps” 🤷‍♀️

PreparationPreparationPrep · 26/09/2021 19:46

I don't think so @smilesy it's more the way it's done and the paparazzi and commotion around it. He has been photo many times where it is organised well -and his body language is very different - more relaxed. What he is talking about is the stress and tension he is put under with the
Media snapping the bulb lights going as far back as when his mother was alive and he was a child yes they were also there when she died.
I can't see why it's difficult to understand that The context and environment you are in when being photoed makes a difference to what is and isn't a trigger. He would have witnessed this when with his mum so I think he can defined imagine what happened in the car accident - I can't see why anyone would Want to Make up a story like that.

smilesy · 26/09/2021 19:58

I’m no expert, and I’m not saying he made anything up. I just think to interpret it as only applying in the UK is a bit unrealistic. It would surely apply if he was taken by surprise anywhere. Otherwise, why do soldiers who are back in the safety of their own homes get triggered by bangs and crashes?
