Privacy Oh Privacy! Why So Cruel?

[WhatAreThey]

Why do royal reporters bully a child but ask for respect for an adult?

That she monetised her child, and didn't care about privacy if the price was right.

Wasn't my main point though. How a woman chooses to give birth and where they do it is my main point that is her choice not broken protocol. Both women have been badly failed at very vulnerable points in their life the RF could and should do better. I'm hoping things drastically change for the next generation.

This thread is about privacy. The first para of your post is about privacy. It was the issue of privacy that I was addressing, and how Meghan was willing to compromise hers to curry favour with the press when there was financial gain to be had.

I agree that both women have been badly treated by the press.

Well they don't mind following the royal tradition when it comes to giving their kids royal titles though do they?

Yes Royal traditions are usually for following. The RF are there to be followed too. Kate did say she was having surgery and wouldn’t be seen until Easter, yet everyone is still coming up with conspiracy theories and hate.
Meghan just decided not to share any information.
If you like the RF then you expect a window into their lives. You expect to see the new baby and photos, it’s part of the job.

Gosh is that like the huge amount of money Zara and Mike took from Hello for the first pics and spread of their firstborn?

Agreed it's different

Comparison isn't like for like

Zara and Mike explained that they did that because people wanted it - which I suspect is better for them than being followed by photographers trying to get a snap of the family? Presumably after the pictures were publicised, they are left alone.

People wanted them to sell pics of their baby for £150,000 ??
Really?
First I knew of that!!!

They could've released one pic for nothing, instead it was a 17 page spread for dosh

of course there is always a good reason why the tindals do stuff.... money

Exactly
Apparently the Queen was not best pleased !

The Tindalls weren't all "privacy privacy privacy" before and after they did it, though.

@concernedchild

From Spare, it sounds like threPalace covered up a lot of truth to protect Harry

Nor were Harry & Meghan

@namechangeduetoimpatience I asked what had been the dishonesty from day one, not what had happened in the last few days. A reasonable person would wait to find out if there had actually been dishonesty from day one, as there isn't any evidence of this I will wait until there is

Someone else did something is only justification here on RFF.

@namechangeduetoimpatience "They are lying and covering up something. I am not sure any reasonable person is disputing that at this point."

Reasonable people certainly are disputing it. Were M&H "lying and covering up something" when their Christmas card with them in the background and Archie in front got a kill notice? No, of course not, because the vast majority of people edit photos for social media at times. In fact most photos of Harry show quite a bit more hair than you see in his live shots.Is Harry "lying and covering up something?"

This is no different than the Sussex Christmas card or many, many photos of Harry. It's editing, not lying, and not a coverup.

Meghan was ridiculed for feeling suicidal and suffering from MH problems and depression after being bullied and treated terribly. She was not offered the same sympathy despite this. She was flung from pillar to post.

They do most of their money raising schemes in Australia, away from the British public eye.

Yes, H&M could have lied in the instances you mentioned. What's that got to do with the point I am making. You dont need to bring up Meghan and Harry. OR does that make you feel better? lmao

By people like Piers Morgan who apparently people on team SS are quoting now as if he were not vile.

I hope you didn’t participate or condone that at the time. I know I didn’t. If you didn’t, why bring it up now as if it justifies what is happening to a different woman today?

What on earth are you saying? There are scores of threads here even today people still take jibes at Meghan on this very forum and it's apparently seen as completely acceptable.

I am just saying it's funny people suddenly have a new found sympathy for Kate but fail even today to show the same sympathy to Meghan. I wonder why.

I can’t answer that. Ask the people doing it. I don’t think any of it’s funny. Why do you? And how do you choose when you feel it’s acceptable?

Who said anything about any of it being acceptable, please get off my back. Go prefect someone else. Find someone else's neck to kneel on. Go and look through old threads and compare with current ones to find your villains.

I hope YOU show the same sympathy across the board and stop being rude calling people SS - wth is that? There's a WS and a SS?
