Did anyone watch this last night? About William and Harry and their different approaches to the press. Last night was part 1 of 2.

Arent they both existing friends?

The knives are out already. More Bullying articles. I don't think this should be covered up.

*According to the Daily Mail.
The Daily Mail wrote that story.

I've just spoken to the Downing Street Spokesman and they told me the Daily Mail are full of shit and they never said that*

It’s in the Sun as well.

Though Boris as a champion of freedom of the press is a laugh considering he has ALLEGEDLY had a number of super injunctions granted: something to do with illegitimate children and shagging violinists ALLEGEDLY.

Joanna Lumley is. She’s been part of Charles friendship group for years.

Kirsty I’m not sure about.

You know what's better than the tabloids writing shite?
Posters on MN writing shite.

The knives are out already. More Bullying articles. I don't think this should be covered up.

Ah yes, bullying articles. What you have failed to mention is the tabloids are quoting Kirsty Allsop
Fucking Kirsty Allsop!
Yes, I'm sure she was there
Doesn't she have a new show she wants to promote?

So today Joanna Lumley and Kirsty Allsop have come out in support of Prince Charles and William/Catherine hmm

All Joanna Lumley has said is she thinks The Crown on Netflix is rubbish. Not sure how that has "come out in support of Prince Charles"

It’s in the Sun as well.
The Sun hasn't spoken to a Downing Street Spokesman. They just used the Daily Mail story and put it in thier rag.
They do this all the time.

Re Kirsty Allsopp.

Her mother and the Duchess of Cornwall are lifelong friends from childhood.

And just why posters would be angered that two friends of the RF have chimed in for them when Meghan continually uses friends as a mouthpiece is beyond me.

Roussette · 04/12/2021 05:49

BringBack Please do not tell me to 'have some compassion'. I object to your tone.

Kirsty Allsop? Gosh. I see some of her tweets and the less said about those the better.

Who's angry? It's just interesting. I don't know what Kirsty Allsop has said but I'm assuming she doesn't know Meghan? Her friends at least do have that to contribute.

I’ve no idea whether she knows Meghan or not but I think she has enough of a relationship with Camilla (who is her brothers godmother) to perhaps be aware there are two sides to a story.
Roussette · 04/12/2021 06:52

I'm laughing at the assertion that Joanna Lumley has come out in defence of Charles!

She said what everyone knows and I am sure agrees with. The Crown isn't real. It's acted. It's a drama and the RF don't watch it. Well... nor do I, I've never seen any of it, is that me coming out in defence of Charles too?!

AnnunciataZ · 04/12/2021 07:41

What on earth have Joanna's comments got to do with Meghan or the documentary this thread was originally about?

Nishkin · 04/12/2021 08:15

@Rousette- a few months back I said I had seen death threats against the Duchess of Cambridge and you said you wouldn’t have seen them as you don’t use Twitter.

Presumably you have started reading it recently

SueSaid · 04/12/2021 08:21

'She said what everyone knows and I am sure agrees with. The Crown isn't real. It's acted. It's a drama'

The problem with The Crown is they have people doing impressions of the rf, recreating actual events, recreating exact outfits and impersonating people. That is why the 'oh it's just a drama silly' doesn't really wash. Either do a drama and have completely different names, characters and outfits or impersonate people and recreate history accurately. It is bizarre and I'm surprised not libellous to have all the same names and characters but to add a load of crap to portray people negatively. Some people believe it's what actually happened because the images on the telly are all accurate representations of some things that did happen. In the series with the Aberfan disaster the Queen says something like 'oh I'll make myself cry should I', just awful for the victims and the families to make stuff up like that.

Imagine if they went as far as the Sussex years but recreated it all very negatively I bet you wouldn't be all 'oh it's a drama!' Then would you?

Roussette · 04/12/2021 08:27

I have no idea what you are talking about. Link me to that. I have never ever said I don't use Twitter. I have 2,800 followers actually. And if you want to examine my history Hmm you will find endless twitter links from me on the Trump threads over years.

I might well have said I had not seen something on Twitter as the feed is fast moving, but I categorically have never said I don't use it. You are making stuff up @Nishkin

Roussette · 04/12/2021 08:29

Janiie

Joanna Lumley said all that about the Crown. I personally think it's awful so no need to score points on that one with me.

Nishkin · 04/12/2021 08:30

@rousette I am not making stuff up. I remember you saying it. Of course I can’t link it. It was probably deleted

Roussette · 04/12/2021 08:32

@Nishkin. You must be confusing me with someone else. Or you are calling me a liar.

I have never said I don't use Twitter. Ever. I would look a complete fool as I link to it all the time.

I object to being called a liar actually. Yes, of course you can't link to it Hmm Have you looked?

Nishkin · 04/12/2021 08:34

Well you would like to link to my post about the death threats? No it’s not always possible to find old posts is it?

AnnunciataZ · 04/12/2021 08:34

Kirstie Allsopp speaking out is weird. Don't royal friends usually keep quiet on anything that's even remotely controversial? Hence the fuss when Meghan's friends spoke to People?

Nishkin · 04/12/2021 08:35

*would you

Roussette · 04/12/2021 08:45

@Nishkin

You aren't prepared to look. I have. I have searched the whole of this year, every time the word Twitter was mentioned by me (hundreds of times with links etc) and nowhere is there me saying I don't use it.

Then I did the same search with your name. Once you mentioned Twitter, half an hour ago on this thread.

I will take criticism and strong annoyance at my posts. I will accept if I have got something wrong, or I have misunderstood, or I have been incorrect in what I have said. I will apologise if I mislead or get it wrong.
HOWEVER,
I will not accept you saying this, because I know it to be untrue and you aren't prepared to back it up. An apology is in order, but I won't get one of course.

Nishkin · 04/12/2021 08:50

If a thread has been deleted would it show up in a search. That is the difficulty isn’t it?

Can I have an apology for your comment of ‘you aren’t prepared to look’ comment if you are so keen on apologies being dished out?

How do you know whether I have searched or not?

Nishkin · 04/12/2021 08:51

Anyway I am out for the day

I apologise if I am wrong- but I am sure that is what you said.

Nishkin · 04/12/2021 08:52

Can you also apologise for the ‘I won’t get one of course’ comment

If you are going to attack my character. At least apologise for it

Roussette · 04/12/2021 08:55

I refuse to engage with you anymore on this. I know 100% what I didn't say.

Anyway back to the subject in hand.
