The two of them are like stroppy teenagers demanding and whining and stamping their feet. It’s pathetic.

@Macaroni1924

He’s nearly 40 - young man ?

Well he’s not an old man 🤷🏻‍♀️

Macaroni1924 · 18/12/2022 00:18

For the benefit of @Ohnonevermind

I think Harry is a very likeable man and has done what he thinks is best for his family. It’s a shame that he has had to choose one over the other.

Postgraddope · 18/12/2022 00:18

I just think they both come from dysfunctional families,both damaged and need therapy ! Very simplistic but true .

antelopevalley · 18/12/2022 00:19

It is a shame. But a man should always choose his wife and children first.

antelopevalley · 18/12/2022 00:19

@Postgraddope I agree. The Royal Family are clearly dysfunctional.

I agree. They are not bad people. They deserve to be happy.

Yet here you are, you cannot stop posting about them. If there so dysfunctional why do you care so much 😂

LondonWolf · 18/12/2022 00:25

I think Meghan The Narc was pissed off to not be allowed at The Sandringham Summit and wants to Have Her Say.

These two are no better than the drama llamas on FB who post attention seeking updates like "it's at times like this you know who your REAL friends are!" and "DM me Hun!" clearly passively aggressively addressed to people they feel wronged by.

Daffodilsandtuplips · 18/12/2022 00:38

A good article, well written.
Toys being well and truly chucked out of the Sussex’s pram now.
They remind me of the spoilt character of Veruca Salt…”I’ll twcheam and twcheam until I’m sick.” An obnoxious spoilt brat who did exactly that, screamed and screamed until she was sick.

Jeezo I have no idea what’s going on now. I just feel it’s unfair to make it out like Harry has said something he hasn’t, it’s what the press always do. At no point did he say she was a pushover or that she had lost her razor sharp instinct. I think Harry is a very likeable young man and has done what he thinks is best for his family.

But he sort of has said that. He made out that she just sat and listened to his father and brother, saying nothing. So no input into the in / out decision.
That she was controlled so that she couldn't speak to him. But she had a phone and his number so she could have spoken to him if she'd wanted.
That he had to check up on her to make sure she was being protected. Which implies she couldn't look after herself and that others were taking advantage of her.
That she can only talk to him about certain things. So again surrounded by people she can't trust, like she's scared to speak openly to even her children.
That all sounds like he's speaking about a woman who is controlled , manipulated and not in charge of her affairs.

Show quote history

Yes, they deserve, like everyone else.

But they rely too much of their happiness on what others say/do.

They compare too much with what others have that they don't, so that they forgot to look at what kind of fortune they have in their own hand.

They dwell deeply on what others wouldn't give to them, instead of using what they have to create a life that they root their happiness upon.

(Or they just desperately need more money than they have already to be happy?)

Their hearts were dominated by the past regrets and by resentment, so they can't feel true happiness.

BellePeppa · 18/12/2022 00:58

The only summit these two need is to be plonked on the top of Mount Everest. If I rue the day I ever heard the words Meghan Markle god knows what the RF must be thinking. Their nonsense has actually made me more of a supporter of the RF not less because having to put up with their childish crap must be awful.

So what excuse does the Queen have for failing to defend the faith properly?

  • I meant what not why.
Show quote history

Even though the Queen was a committed Christian, she said that the role of the Church of England was not to defend Anglicanism to the exclusion of other religions. Instead, the Church has a duty to protect the free practice of all faiths in this country.

I think the fact that so many religions thrive and have interfaith relationships with the CofE has actually fulfilled the Queens acclaimed goal.

I didn't watch the documentary. These sound awful. He's really delusional and imagines narratives to suit his own logic.

The response from the late Queen after the Oprah interview was her hallmark style. Not someone who's been controlled or manipulated could make up.

He just can accept the fact that the late Queen was trying to not say "no" directly in his face. But it's a firm "no" from her all along.

Awful, awful, awful...

Keep going no one is intrested, more to the point why are you trying so desperatly trying to pick apart the work of the late queen?

Show quote history

Questioning things is not a bad thing to do. Questioning historical figures is not normally controversial. The lack of questioning the late Queen is questionable in itself.

‘Queen’ has always been a special title. But it comes with responsibilities. I have changed my mind to think she was not as good as I thought before because she didn’t defend the faith throughout her 70-year reign (see the census numbers). So, was the late Queen really the good example that we have come to accept and believe?

The new book due before the coronation about ‘defender the of the faith’ has raised questions for me - and it should for others too. But, as you say, people probably won’t pay attention because it’s too uncomfortable.

It was a diplomatic response - and the late Queen was surrounded by diplomats. We don’t know if the exact words were her own or from one of her diplomatic advisors. All we know is that she approved of the words as her official response.

I also think the policy of her never complaining and never explaining means that the late Queen was controlled to a high extent. I wouldn’t associate the late Queen with being a ‘wild one’ except that time she cut a cake with a sword (people thought she had gone a bit wild then. The look on Kate and Camilla’s faces said it all!).

PumpkinPooSpice · 18/12/2022 02:21

How many active threads about Meghan Markel do you need OP? Isn't your other one saying that anyone who posts anything positive about H&M is a paid shill or Russian bot?
You have started at least five threads bitching about her

I just wonder if it's you who is raking in the roubles.

MN's advertising is trolling this thread though as it's wall to wall Pizza Express adverts. Even the advertising is trying to remind you that the mixed race American lady you're obsessed with isn't the real problem with the RF.

Quite, a friend of the King told me just the other day that a senior palace official, heard from a courier that a member if the Royal family wore odd socks the other day.

Show quote history

Was that an Evri courier? If so, that information is probably years out of date given how abysmal they are at delivering parcels.

It’s late, so I might not be understanding your post correctly. Do you mean that the Queen failed due to the drop in numbers of those following Christianity?

Id need to look more for links, but I’m sure KC has said that all faiths are welcome/supported etc. I think he’s held that view for quite some time. Do you think that’s wrong or a failing?

I suspect there will be plenty more of these 'own goal' leaks from H & M in the future... wasn't it reported that they had sacked most of their advisors and we taking control of their own PR?

MistletoeandBaileys · 18/12/2022 06:04

Ah God love them. They have screwed this up big time and they know it. Clutching at straws too.

I think they are seeing that their luck is running out. I mean who wants to hear it anymore? And if I was any member of the RF I would not be sitting down for a meeting with them at all. It would just be fodder for the next documentary/rag magazine interview etc.

The Kings speech will be interesting this year.
