The press has published pics of HRH with her mum in mum Audi on a
"school run." HRH was seated in the front passenger seat.

Wishing HRS Kate a speedy recovery!!

If William can break the mould and issue a statement about Gaza, I would think he could break the mould in terms of responding to some of the stuff Harry has said. It's certainly open to him to do so - any gag is self-imposed.

Surely as a family they've decided not to individually respond to anything and get into a bun fight.
The lack of any comments from them illustrates that.

Salemforcuddles · 07/03/2024 20:44

Yes William could respond but it would be unlikely

OliverTwisted · 07/03/2024 20:44

Also he used his voice to shine a light on the plight of others. The bloodshed is sickening and saddening. Ephraim Mirvis, the chief rabbi, welcomed the prince's “words of compassion”

If he used it to just to air dirty laundry or whinge about his family he’d be roundly criticised.

Rosette always always defends them and thinks they can do no wrong. Ever. Any criticism is deemed ‘hate’.

I know. It gets very tedious.

Yes absolutely. But he can respond if he chooses is the point. Harry does run that risk. So it's not unfair that Harry says stuff knowing that William can't respond, because he clearly can. He's opted not to so far.

It’s best to ignore. Any rebuttal would just get an instant clap back, it would be pointless getting involved in that.

Surely even you can't possibly argue that they haven't said some dreadful things in public about the RF, knowing that they can't refute their claims? It must be off-the-scale stressful for William, Kate, Charles and Camilla, yet they are expected to carry on as if nothing is happening.*

They have done things I would question but I can't see how their behaviour has put less strain & stress vs Andrews alleged money & sexual misdeeds. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's not a competition.

Are you denying that they have caused huge hurt, stress and distress to some members of the Royal Family?

As does the need to pick at Rousette that people have. Shes entitled to her opinion the same as anyone else

The constant nitpicking and personal digs repeatedly
ruins threads on this forum atm

Classier to ignore and walk away

YetMoreNewBeginnings · 07/03/2024 20:47

Totally different. He wisely doesn't want to open himself up to tit for tat.

Yes absolutely. I was merely saying that in theory Harry could get slapped back, he can't rely on silence.

Yes it really is painful. And all one sided too. None of those with reservations about the rf do it, it's a one way street.

Agree with you and calling posters fans is also unnecessary.

I mean the posters who repeatedly name change purely to cause trouble

Not people who change for genuine reasons

YetMoreNewBeginnings · 07/03/2024 20:54

It’s not one sided. It’s from both “side”

It’s like a forum of petty squabbling schoolchildren at times.

Theres hardly a thread goes by atm without it and it’s ridiculous and unnecessary

No wonder quite a few of the posters who used to post regular, on both sides, don’t bother anymore. It’s a waste of time when nine times out of ten the thread contains ad many snide digs at posters than it does posts about the subject.

I don't know, but as I said if I was in their shoes Andrew would cause me much distress 🤷🏻‍♀️

OliverTwisted · 07/03/2024 20:54

But it’s anonymous anyway, and even if they nc they can’t evade t&g’s

That doesn’t make it ok for people to name change repeatedly purely to have a go at one particular poster
