‘Courtiers’ 2

[RandomPenguinHouse]

The last thread filled up during a particularly chatty morning.

The photo of Sophie was taken in the mid 1980s and was sold in 1999 which was the year Sophie got married .
It was a nasty thing to do .

Yes, they did. Made a formal complaint too.

I already quoted it :

'while Buckingham Palace blasted The Sun for “premeditated cruelty” and complained to the Press Complaints Commission.'

Wasn't it?

Quite right, too. What a horrible thing to do.

It's not about Sophie being half naked, no one gives a toss.

It's about the palace stepping in and defending her, yet letting all sorts of lies and criticism carry on regarding MM.
It's the double standards !

@notanotheroneagain

where are the topless photos of Meghan that the RF didn’t complain to the press commission about ?

Ha ha - you are really bending yourself out of shape there to defend content of SM / tabloid press - when it suits you?

Everyone else with an ounce of integrity - doesn’t access it and discounts it when presented. But you defend doing so selectively. That doesn’t help your credibility.

I didn’t know the newspapers were printing private photos of Meghan topless

Try just saying nice things about Meghan without mentioning anything negative about other parties, including the people posting here.

Could you even manage? Ever go back and read everything you’ve written? You seem to hate everyone else more than you actually like her.

‘She in fact valued the opportunity to earn a private income more highly.’

It’s worrying that you don’t appear to be able to distinguish between conjectural arguments/opinions and facts. Their decision to become financially independent followed months of criticism of their spending of public money. Having made the decision to step back from royal duties after years of incessant abuse by the British media (I may add), they would not have been permitted access to many of the financial privileges that they may once have enjoyed. This means they had little choice but to seek other financial means. This is not indicative of their disinterest in doing work across the Commonwealth. They continue to support projects in Commonwealth nations even today. The use of the word conjecture was really a subtle way of saying ‘you’re wrong’.

What lies ?

I have reported the ageist and misogynistic posters seems MNHQ are responding with deletions.

Do you mean about her being a bully ? Hmm….

@smileandjoy

They were plotting their deals well in advance of announcing their plans to step back.

They didn’t.

Although the advert she took part in for Beef Burgers left very little to the imagination and was rather hypocritical coming from a supposed feminist.

What on earth are you on about?

@MrsTumblebee

so why is nota talking about double standards and the royal family complaining about topless photos then 🙄

@Dinoteeth If you’re going to be pedantic, at least get it right. What he actually said was “I can’t bear this bloody thing”… “every stinking time”.

What she's on about is... the rf would have stepped in had they printed topless photos of Megan , but they haven't so they didn't!

Qed!

I’ve no idea - I chose not to read their posts.

@MrsTumblebee I think I’ll follow your advice

MM's lawyers produced a 15 page document that told lies about MM, but the palace said nothing at all to dispute the newspaper claims when they came out.

Thank you for reporting.
I'm glad they're deleting them.

There's at least one topless photo of Meghan floating around on the internet but, as far as I know, no media organisation has printed it. At least in that, the media seems to have changed for the better.
