Indifference to PoW?

I find it strange that there’s no real interest or concern from the public about POW being in hospital. Nobody seems to be that bothered. If you compare it to the circus if Diana had been in the same situation….. I just find it odd. I always thought she was relatively popular because we’re constantly told she is but actually…. Tumbleweed.

I know it’s her own business etc but it just feels quite odd that somebody can disappear and there is no interest in why. I don’t really know or care what’s happened or why, but the silence is really intriguing. It reminds me of when the brexit referendum happened and I had no idea that there was such strong feeling about the EU…. I had no idea that there was such apathy about the PoW until now. It’s been a real eye opener for me.

I reckon the next generation or two, the monarchy will be gone.

i can't help thinking that when posters post random gifs they
have little of interest to say.

as for divorce.I don't believe that Kate would ever get divorced from Will.

Agree with your first para.

Secondly, I agree with this too. Without Kate, the House of Windsor is doomed. I think they will have a very carefully managed long long marriage. Charles doesn't want an annus horribilus...

I won't be clicking on that, looks a bit dodgy to me!

I once clicked on a link someone had posted and it was Armageddon on my laptop, cost me a fair bit to remove all the malware.

i think they are happy together. Kate worked to hard to get where she is, and they look like a happy family.

wildernesssw · 01/02/2024 09:59

Don't worry, it's just the gif link that I haven't work out how to hide when embedding the gif!

Coursewedfight · 01/02/2024 10:48

They look very happy together, Charles and Diana did not 🤔

I thought you thoroughly disliked speculation about people’s marriages? Suggesting they have an agenda rather than a successful long term relationship seems pretty mean-spirited.

Roussette · 01/02/2024 11:42

Thanks Serenster.
No agenda suggested but you do you.
As normal.
Whatever their circumstances, I think their marriage will last. They have the will and the wherewithal to make it last.
Call it speculation if that suits your agenda.

asrarpolar · 01/02/2024 11:51

It is not doomed. The children will be rolled out more and more to get media attention.

Samcro · 01/02/2024 11:56

most of this thread and most of the ones in the RF topic are speculation, why is @Roussette told off. unless someone is posting a historical fact, its speculation.

ArcaneWireless · 01/02/2024 13:07

God forbid anyone stays together because they actually love, trust and can depend on eachother any more.

According to Harry , he is the only Royal male who married for love !!!

jeffgoldblum · 01/02/2024 13:43

Yep ! Completely ignoring the fact his own grandmother also famously married for love instead of the usual protocol at the time! 🙄

asrarpolar · 01/02/2024 14:11

@Mylovelygreendress link please to prove he said this please

Mylovelygreendress · 01/02/2024 14:12

Did you not watch their Netflix series @asrarpolar ?

asrarpolar · 01/02/2024 14:20

@Mylovelygreendress I did not see Harry saying he was the only Royal ever to marry for love. He said that many of the Royal marriages have been de facto arranged marriages.

Among the recent royals who married for live:
Queen Elizabeth II
Prince William
Prince Edward
Prince Andrew
Zara Phillips and seemingly all of Prince Harry's cousins
George VI
Edward VIII

Just because his own parents got it disastrously wrong, doesn't mean the whole family has. But presumably Harry has never been the best student of history.

MaturingCheeseball · 01/02/2024 14:24

Harry married for lust. That’s all.

asrarpolar · 01/02/2024 14:25

Yeah going to leave now you have morphed into the favourite game of criticising Harry and Meghan for things they have not actually said.

wildernesssw · 01/02/2024 14:26

Their style of communication is heavy hints and insinuation, and then when challenged faux innocence.

So no they 'haven't actually said it'. or that anyone in the RF were racist.

Mylovelygreendress · 01/02/2024 14:27

if you have some spare time @asrarpolar maybe watch the series again ?
I doubt very much Harry knows what de facto means !

Samcro · 01/02/2024 14:30

what has harry got to do with W&K marriage. surely there are the "book" threads to slag him off on.

Roussette · 01/02/2024 14:30

MaturingCheeseball · 01/02/2024 14:24

A ridiculous assertion

jeffgoldblum · 01/02/2024 14:30

No point @Mylovelygreendress , in one ear and out the other!!
A bit like Harry and the whole.... I never said my family were racist! Did Meghan say they were racist!
No it was the press apparently!
Although why they would accept an award for doing something they didn't actually say or do is anyone's guess!
