King Charles so proud of Princess Catherine

King Charles support of his daughter(in law) is so very touching.

Please keep the comments positive and on topic. We have all had enough vitriol for weeks now.

A frequenter supporter posted a cheese cake recipe and a comment mentioning Jeff’s hometown. Not sure why posting subsequent recipes from Meghan’s own website was such an affront, but it was reported and promptly shut down.

No one goes there anymore. No one cares.

Some posts were a clear piss take. I don’t really care but let’s not pretend it wasn’t meant to be negative.

AliceOlive · 25/03/2024 21:25

I don’t know who you are and don’t care.
But mentioning someone’s hometown is beyond the pale. Some have lines, others do not. Chris Bouzy followers don’t. They do GFM drives for people who post about people’s kids. Bit beyond mentioning a few wrinkles.

Goading got answered. Don’t start none, won’t be none. Police your own.

I know I'm probably going to get criticised for this but I need to say this:

First of all, I'm not criticising King Charles at all but his Comms team.

I'm finding the use of Kate by BP for PR really disgusting. For over 2 months, William and Kate have been vilified, bullied and abused by not only social media but the press as well, especially these past 2 weeks. BP was silent

Where was the public support?

An article by The Times was even released less than a week ago "The Times
Prince William is a team player — why can't he work with King Charles?" written by Kate Mansey, who's allegedly close to BP, and a lot of people speculated that this article came directly from them.

Fast forward 5 days later, Kate revealed her cancer diagnosis and is getting sympathy, we're suddenly getting all these articles about how Charles is such a big support for Catherine, how close they are, their private visits when they both were in the hospital, the lunch they had before the BBC video.

Interesting

Edited

That’s how it works unfortunately. Everything is used as a PR opportunity, even something as sad and devastating as a mother of young children having cancer. The game doesn’t stop for anything.

Is that to me? If so, I have no clue about what had gone on. I don’t know who Jeff or Chris Bouzy are often what GFM is. I don’t even understand your post at all.

It must be nice for KC to have someone like Catherine in his life as he's never had a daughter

He's very close to Zara, I always thought he probably looks on her like the daughter he never had but yes it is apparent he thinks a lot of Kate. After all, they've been in each others lives a long time now. Hopefully they'll all pulling together

TimeToCallItANight · 25/03/2024 21:39

I was reading the thread and came across the link someone posted to a positive Meghan thread. I read some of it and didn’t think it was very nice so replied to say that.

I have no clue about any of the rest of it. I’m happy for you to check with mumsnet HQ who will confirm I’ve rarely posted on the RF topic and gave Devi it SLT never spoke about Jeff or Chris Bouzy because I don’t know who either of them are. I don’t know what you are talking about.

It seems moderation on MN is robust and amen to that.

There is a small, small part of me though that wishes there was a TG amnesty once a decade - and only for an hour - to see what an attack would really be like.

I often just don’t see it and I wonder if it is part of the current vein of reading things into posts that just aren’t there.

I’ve had this levied at me when someone is insistent I’m addressing them and I’m absolutely not. Worse when they read something in my post that bears no resemblance to what I’ve actually said. That is really annoying.

No one knows what I’m thinking when I post or what I’m thinking about but me. If I want to address someone in particular I will.

Anyway, I did see the mentioning of a home town though and that was just plain odd. Like really weird odd.

Is that to me? Not using the @ function makes it even more confusing. I hope you fo check with mumsnet who will confirm what I’ve said, I bet you won’t.

You don’t own this topic so to ask why someone injected themselves into the conversation is really fucking rude actually. What is your problem?

ArcaneWireless · 25/03/2024 22:06

I agree.

Which is why it is probably better to not automatically assume that any comment you take exception to is actually directed at you. (General you)

Well dear. She undeservedly claimed I was attacking her when I most certainly was not. I find it important to defend myself here, so that my words and intent are not twisted and reported. YMMV.

@Samcro are you cool with someone finding highly personal details, like hometown from other threads and using them to goad people? I am very much not.

I’m off to real life
but please don’t pretend you didn’t start this
