Do you all find Charles, Camilla, William and Kate boring?

I am genuinely interested, Because every single post I have seen about one of these four ends up getting derailed by Harry and Meghan.
Try it. Post about one of them and within a small number of posts people will be talking about Harry and Meghan. It happens again and again and again.
So do find these 4 really boring then? Or are you just so fascinated about Harry and Meghan you want to talk about them whenever you can?

No

Sorcha38 · 10/03/2023 23:25

The lot of them are dull as ditchwater. Over privileged and far too much air time is given to speculating about what they wear, eat and fall out with each other about.

RiktheButler · 10/03/2023 23:27

But your thread is "talking about Harry and Megan" within the first post

LesserBohemians · 10/03/2023 23:27

Well, there’s no narrative with the others, or the narrative is long past. King, former-mistress-long-rehabilitated Queen, and two dutiful beige wallpaper fortysomethings. I assume the appeal of the Sussexes, to their fans or detractors, is that they’re writing dreadful books, making demented documentaries, giving interviews etc. There’s a narrative.

Sockmate123 · 10/03/2023 23:29

No I love them

@RiktheButler Yes this post talks about Harry and Meghan because it relates to the question I am asking.

Personally I would like to have threads only about say the King.

No I like them, particularly W&C

I have no interest whatsoever in H&M

CarolinaInTheMorning · 10/03/2023 23:33

Well, the converse is also true. Start a thread about anyone past or present in the Royal Family, and the Meghan and Harry bashers come out in full force.

The RF topic in MN is full of mean girls on both sides.

00100001 · 10/03/2023 23:34

They're very bland. But then Queen was too.. why do we expect anything else?

GyozaGuiting · 10/03/2023 23:34

No, Kate Fan here. I think she’s fab.

QueenOfHiraeth · 10/03/2023 23:37

No, but I find posts trying to do them down to draw out positives about H&M very boring 🙄
I'm sure all members of the RF have their faults and their strengths but I do wish this partisan nonsense would stop

Luredbyapomegranate · 10/03/2023 23:37

They are supposed to be boring aren’t they? - at least to the public. They are basically civil servants. The Q was pretty dull.

Slimjimtobe · 10/03/2023 23:38

I love reading about Kate !
but I think they kind of have to be boring don’t they ?

So that sounds like you want people to talk about them?

Anyway, I really like the 4 of them but I don't love them like I did the Queen.

MarshaMelrose · 10/03/2023 23:40

Ooops! Are we allowed to talk about the queen. Or does she fall outside your parameters, too?

MrsSkylerWhite · 10/03/2023 23:42

I suspect Camilla is far from boring.

the others? Yes, probably.

Adrelaxzz · 10/03/2023 23:43

I hate to admit it but I would judge anyone that liked them as a bit thick.
I would assume that they had been taken in by the media and not realised.

CarolinaInTheMorning · 10/03/2023 23:44

Also, heads up, folks. "The Queen" is Camilla. And she is far from boring.

Blah, blah, blah.

Bluekerfuffle · 11/03/2023 00:52

I’ve noticed that a lot of threads about Harry and Meghan attract derogatory comments on Catherine, who has never moaned or complained or seeked the limelight, so seems undeserving of the negativity.

toastofthetown · 11/03/2023 00:53

Kate's public image is dull as dishwasher. The human embodiment of beige. I'd have said the same about William, but the #princeofpegging did make him more interesting (if not likeable).

Imogensmumma · 11/03/2023 00:59

I like Camilla ( she’s Charles’ rock ) and think she has ALOT more personality than she is allowed to show.

I like W & C too. I think the royal family can do nothing right do for them it’s safest to be boring. They say anything not beige or boring and get blasted for it

Lol yet you actively post messages about them… those in glass houses and all

feellikeanalien · 11/03/2023 01:05

But isn't that the whole point. They are meant to be boring and uncontroversial.

Nah if we must have them the least they can do is entertain. Not just wave in another coat dress with a rictus grin.
