The royal family

To think the palace should issue a statement condemning Clarkson's comments?

Reindeersnooker · 20/12/2022 16:01

I'm all for their dignified silence on everything else. I don't trust Harry or Megan. But Jeremy Clarkson's comments are horrific and were made in Britain against a woman who has become a member of their family.

NOT issuing a statement sends out such a hurtful message and indicates that anything can be said about her, for all they care. Even the MPs have managed to put something on paper.

It's clear that Harry will be beyond hurt if they do nothing and this time he'd have a point, IMO. Each comment like this published in the press erodes the boundaries for online trolls. If I was Meghan, I wouldn't feel I could return to the UK as it's clear the normal rules don't apply to her. What will her children think of Britain when they grow up and become aware of these articles? Won't they be likely to wonder how the palace responded? While it makes no sense to try and placate Harry generally, letting this play out without one word of censure to the press seems needlessly provocative.

It wouldn't be difficult to issue a statement saying something to the effect of "We stand against bullying and hate speech..." Two lines to indicate they see it and it's not ok.

Or not?

So she’s not to attend a lunch with 199 other guests because one other guest wrote something unpleasant about her step DIL? Is that how we expect women who’ve done nothing wrong to behave?

The misogyny towards anyone who is Royal and not Meghan is so ridiculous it’s almost funny

One other guest? Do you know nothing about Piers Morgan? He spends every waking moment talking about, tweeting about and writing shit about Meghan.

p.s. how do you know it was 199? I heard it was 25.

For god's sake it doesn't matter who hosted the lunch! There are those that would have attended because Royalty was going to be there. The press have spun it that it's Camilla's star studded lunch. So even if it is exFortnum & Mason bloke you can't tell me the Palace had no information about it!

It's irrelevant. She was there at the lunch with two of the biggest hate merchants of her DIL. Happily there. And yes, she will have known those two wankers were going to be there. Piers and Jeremy.

So what?

Plenty of people slag off the RF. it was a lunch of 200 people - she can’t boycott every event because of her step DIL who has spent the last 2 years slagging the family off might have people there who’ve criticised her.

Also what is the palace supposed to have information about? A crystal ball so they knew a nasty column was coming out?

Roussette · 20/12/2022 20:07

I know we are supposed to pretend St Diana The Wronged was the perfect human but anyone with half a brain can see she’s not someone to laud and admire

Are there any other women you hate? Maligning a dead woman like this is pretty unpleasant.
So it's Meghan and Diana... anyone else?

Well she was.

She treated her boys appallingly. William has talked about how he used to pass her notes under her door when she was being hysterical and wouldn’t come out.

She threw herself down the stairs when pregnant to get attention (her own admission)

Countless affairs with married men.

Public smiles at her exH with NO regard for how her teenage/pre teen sons might feel about their mother airing her dirty laundry about their father.

I know we are supposed to pretend St Diana The Wronged was the perfect human but anyone with half a brain can see she’s not someone to laud and admire

Go on, let all the feelings out. You’re a step away from writing a Clarkson-style column yourself.

2 guests then.

25 famous people being listed doesn’t mean it’s just 25.

Why should a woman miss out on a lunch she wants to attend just because 2 imbeciles are there? Why just they spend every waking nanosecond thinking of two people who fucked off, left a mess in their wake and slagged off their family and told lies to millions?

"Queen Consort Camilla recently hosted an exclusive Christmas lunch where Dame Judi Dench, Claudia Winkleman and Jeremy Clarkson were also present.
As per Daily Mail’s reports, the event was held at Murano in Mayfair, central London on Wednesday where many renowned faces made their appearances."

You have ignored my previous message. Clarkson wrote really shitty stuff about her in September.

Why are you ignoring that? I wrote it to you at 20.00

Wow have you read your own posts?

Nothing I’ve said about Diana is untrue. Meanwhile you think female RF members should be in hiding lest they come across someone who doesn’t like a family member

antelopevalley · 20/12/2022 20:10

It was also a private engagement, not a public engagement for Camilla.

yesitssea · 20/12/2022 20:10

I don't really understand why they would or should. It's not their job to police legal speech.

I think what he said was abhorrent but it was not a police matter at all.

Sorry if it hurts you that an overprivileged supposed Demi-goddess isn’t the Queen of People’s Hearts like you thought but don’t push your ridiculous and baseless insults onto me. I’ve said nothing that’s not true.

Plenty of reasons that you are too blind to see. And choose not to.

She could have posh lunches every day of the week if she so wanted.

Tinkerbyebye · 20/12/2022 20:11

They have said nothing at anytime about any nasty comments anyone has made against any member of the RF. never had and I would suggest never will. The motto they have is to rise above it

If they start with nasty Clarkson and his comments( which he can make as we live in a free country) then they would have to comment on all

The paper is the one that is at fault here and should be apologising for publishing the crap. From what i see the backlash hopefully means he will lose his various jobs anyway

That’s not exactly a reputable new source. Ewan Venters was the host - sorry that doesn’t fit in I’m with your Camilla hating agenda

Yes you have. You have picked up the very worst bits from media rags and spun it to spew out your hate.

Still... we can see you and we know what you're like. Slagging off a dead woman to score points. Got it.

Ph I’m sorry I didn’t realise we HAD to respond to demands of other posters.

What exactly do you want me to say? I acknowledge he did do that. Are you looking for an apology from me or something?

PinkTonic · 20/12/2022 20:13

antelopevalley · 20/12/2022 19:12

And Camilla not inviting him to a lunch she hosted would at least have been a start. Or a promise to never invite him again.

How many times do you need to be reminded that Camilla was not the host and that in any case the lunch happened before the article? I assume you think that the more times you post untruths the more people who are only skimming the threads will just swallow your crap unquestioningly. It’s a tactic I guess.

PicturesOfDogs · 20/12/2022 20:14

I’m not really comfortable with all this ‘guilty by association’ going in here with Camilla. You see it all the time, especially on social media.
She didn’t write the article, JC did.
The criticism needs to be directed at him, (and the editors at the newspaper)

But everything I’ve said is true - spoke by either herself or William.

Being dead doesn’t mean you didn’t do awful things. Or that they should be forgotten. William certainly hasn’t forgotten the panic he had over his mum when she wouldn’t open the door to him when he was a child.

I'm very very glad I'm not in your head. Nasty unpleasant pulling down of two women.

Not once have I said Camilla should hide. I will repeat myself again as you don't read my posts properly. She could have posh lunches every day of the week if she wanted.
This one was an own goal and it has done her no favours.

Coxspurplepippin · 20/12/2022 20:15

antelopevalley, you're ferreting around for articles to 'prove' your point. The first one you linked to stated Ventner hosted the lunch - you just hadn't read far enough down to see it. Why are you prepared to believe the press when you think they confirm your prejudices, but not when they report stories counter to them?

You don't know William, don't be so ridiculous.

Funny how some posters haunt the Daily Mail site like a bad smell, and claim they never read it! If you are disgusted by their type of journalism, just steer well clear.

And the bloody googling! “Kate’s dress from 2013 was made from material derived from a factory which was revealed to be the site of a witch burning in 1600 - Kate is a woman hater!!!” And so on and so on ad infinitum.

This clearly is a cause for some people but things have tipped over the edge recently and some posters’ anger is relentless - in support of really not a particularly worthy couple.
