The royal family

Sussex's snubbed on both sides of the Atlantic

Harry and Meghan will be invited to the coronation - by necessity - but this toxic pair will be kept at a careful arm's length by all and sundry, excluded from the balcony or carriage procession, and probably positioned somewhere suitably inconspicuous. Most of the family will be wary of them, most will wherever possible avoid them and the crowds will likely boo them. There will be no lucrative photo ops with William or Kate. The Wales children will be in the limelight, but Harry and Meghan's children will be excluded, due to age.

Meanwhile, over in the States, where they no doubt expected to be feted when they planned their dramatic departure from the UK, opinion polls reveal them to be less popular now than even Prince Andrew. South Park mocked them to general acclaim and The Cut published a contemptuous piece about the possible relaunch of the Tig last week.

They've been snubbed and excluded from every big social event, from the Met Gala to Obama's birthday party and Elton John's Oscar's bash. The only parties they have attended have been those hosted by social pariahs like Ellen de Generes.

They are coming across as increasingly desperate and embarrassing. It's hard to to see any possible comeback from here.

@tatalan no children are starving in the UK ! What planet are you on?!

Your press has failed you spectacularly.

Child poverty in the UK: the definitions, causes and consequences in the cost of living crisis

Families living in poverty are struggling to feed their children in the cost of living crisis. Denise, a single mother of two young boys, told The Big Issue she is battling to cope and does not have enough to keep her children healthy.

Laurence Guinness, chief executive of the Childhood Trust, which is supporting Denise’s family, said: “The 11-year-old is fairly tall for his age, but he is so thin. You can see his ribs sticking out through his T-shirt. It is pitiful. These children are not getting enough to eat on a regular basis.

Denise reached out to her council, but was told there was nothing it could do. “Her children are starving and nobody can help,” Guinness said. “That’s where we’ve ended up. She can’t access government ministers, she can’t access policy makers. Her story is representative of millions of low income households, many of whom are in the same situation and can’t access any support whatsoever.”

@tatalan looks like you find it funny as well - hope you’re nice and warm wherever you are

I'm doing brilliantly, thank you. As I said, if the Brits like it, I love it. In fact, I hope the royal family rinses the tax-payers some more 😘

Not this again? You followed me round continually accusing me of being a paid Russian and MNHQ did not take kindly to it.

I suggest you retract that, or you might find yourself banned from MN.

It's not really a "three day extravaganza"

Yes it last 3 days, but that's
Day 1: ceremony, procession there and back, Balcony appearance (not that different to Trooping the Colour)
Day 2: concert at Windsor
Day 3: Big Lunch (happens every year anyhow)

There were huge changes to how government departments allocated costs in the 90s. Can you confirm that the figures you are comparing have corrected for those changes?

Not 3 days and then you list out what is happening on 3 days!

No I cannot confirm anything to do with figures compared to whatever. Can you?

Whatever you say, it is costing a lot more.

Totally.
A bunch of silly wind-up merchants with no critical thinking skills without exception.
They go after the Sussex pennies because that's all their ability attracts.

i hate to disappoint but that never happened. I realise facts aren’t your strong point. Perhaps you are thinking of someone else. I suggest you scroll back through your many (tens?) of thousands of posts in support of the Sussexes & check - then you can apologise to me.

If not you, someone else.
Or a NC.

p.s. you cannot go around accusing people of being Russian or paid trolls.

OK. So you are accusing me of being paid. Got it.

susan12345678 · 19/03/2023 10:11

It’s a thread - singular - discussing the fact of their being snubbed. My eldest DC works for someone with very close links to the RF and I can assure you - Siberia beckons if the gruesome twosome turn up in May.

Most Meghan and Harry supporters on Mumsnet seem to be Russians or paid trolls…

This is exactly what you said. Ridiculous to deny you didn't accuse me or anyone of being Russian or a paid troll. See your words above.

milti · 19/03/2023 10:12

@tatalan children are not starving in the UK - ‘rinse the taxpayer’ I think I can afford the pound a year they cost or whatever paltry sum it is

Jesus Christ, who has the time to think so much about stuff like this.

Well, you, I guess, since you took the time to open the thread, read the op and write a response.

🤣🤣🤣👏👏

Oh come on, the Papers already briefed Iceland, don't act like you've got any inside information. I personally hope they don't attend but I'm sure H&M will do whatever they think is best.

milti · 19/03/2023 10:13

@Roussette I don’t think you are Russian or a bot - I wish someone WOULD pay me to post! That could be a nice little earner

I do have sympathy with people with so much hate in their heart. No need to feel sorry for me, I'm a happy person who doesn't hate.

Yep.

These haters can't even pick a narrative.

H&M are either broke or wealthy enough to employ bots, can't be both 😂

You’ve managed to rustle up some pretty nasty posts in the past about Kate and William

Thank you milti.

As if!

The very funny thing is... the russian, paid troll thing comes out when posters are so frustrated that they can't get agreement on H&M being the worst people on the planet!

They always magically happen to know someone adjacent to every situation 😆
