Why don't the Sussex haters be more like Kate

She's admired for her grace, strength and stoicism. Yet her supporters spew bile over H&M, Obie Scobie (or whatever he's called) and their other high profile supporters.

I don't like the way H&M have behaved towards the RF but now they're living thousands of miles away, not costing the British taxpayer a bean ... I just don't care what they do.

But the hate they inspire on this forum (couldn't sleep last night so was reading a couple of threads) is unhinged.

Why not keep it classy like Kate? Ignore em and put all that misplaced energy into living your best life (as they say)?

why do people think Harry either wants to come back or make up with William.
William has never hidden the fact he dislikes Meghan.

It's no insult, you are the Katesquad - own it. You wouldn't be happy if they ever reconciled as you would run out of negative things to post.

I believe you've missed all the posts already embracing the name!! 🙄🤣🤣

Why I think he's weak as a future King. Who wants a King who openly dislikes a family member from the get go!

@Eise whilst I don't think your latest missive warrants the dignity of a response, it's so childish, here's the thing. Many of us who post here do so because we can see what H&M have put the RF through, and William and Catherine as their particular targets. On a human/familial level, what they have said about and done to W&C is to me reprehensible. As a woman of colour, what they have implied about Catherine and about the UK as a whole disgusts me. On a political level, they are part of a much bigger destabilisation effort (unknowingly, I am sure, but nevertheless part of it) run by hostile powers. On a free speech level, they pose a danger to those who support it through their work with the Aspen Institute.

if the RF decide to reconcile with the Sussexes, it's hardly something any of us will have an influence over either way. If it's what William and Catherine want to do and they are happy with that decision, then that is entirely up to them and I hope it makes them happy. However, any reconciliation would not render H&M's activities immune from scrutiny when their actions have a wider impact. If they want to remain as public figures and behave as quasi royalty, as quasi policy makers, then they will come under scrutiny while they engage in this.

Precisely my point. William, now in his 40s, failed to demonstrate the foresight needed to mend fences with his brother early on. This oversight means he's now without that additional support and camaraderie that would be invaluable, especially as he prepares for his future role as king and in difficult times i.e. illness.

I see it more as Harry missing out on William’s support and camaraderie. Harry was also once the closer of the two brothers to his father allegedly but that ship has well and truly sailed with his attacks on his stepmother. If, god forbid, Harry has a crisis of some sort, I think he will be missing his brother more than his brother misses him. Harry doesn’t seem to have much of a support network apart from his wife

Salemforcuddles · 25/03/2024 09:46

I actually think William has shown excellent leadership skills in relation to Harry, I mean what kind of leader would keep a traitor and liar in the ranks?

I think it's both. They are both missing out.

William isn't missing out. Who needs that kind of unreliable person around?

eise · 25/03/2024 09:51

@Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar Honestly haven't bothered to read that. Thought you were taking a much needed break.

why do people think Harry either wants to come back or make up with William.
William has never hidden the fact he dislikes Meghan.

I agree that any reconciliation is highly unlikely. I just can't imagine the circumstances in which it might happen - not after what H & M have said and done to the RF and W and C in particular. If someone branded me a racist on extremely dodgy grounds and told the world, I'd never, ever forgive. But there's more in the mix than that, as we know. William may well dislike Meghan but the massive stumbling block is surely that Meghan has always been extremely jealous of Catherine, and that's the root of the problem.

Who knows what the future holds? But in my crystal ball I see Harry wanting to return to the UK at some point and being given a cottage somewhere to quietly get on with his life. I'd be surprised if rehabilitation is possible with royal supporters in the UK, and I think he's burned his bridges with W and C, though Charles, as his father and a sentimental man, may relent on a limited level. H will never be trusted again, though, so can't do royal duties and will be kept at arm's length.

I don't like H & M but I feel mighty sorry for their children in a number of ways - estrangement from both families and loss of cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents etc. I don't personally see the marriage going the distance and that's upsetting for obvious reasons. I think M will want to stay in the US and Harry will yearn for the UK, so massive problems ahead if they do split - in terms of the children. It's all a horrible mess and even though this is what I think will happen, I'm not taking any pleasure in predicting it!!

DuchessOfPort · 25/03/2024 10:07

Not sure George VI was that keen on the Duke of Windsor.

Come to think of it, Elizabeth I and Mary Didn’t get on awfully well. In fact, in general there do seem to have been plenty of perfectly good monarchs who have been on the outs with their family.

jeffgoldblum · 25/03/2024 10:07

Excellent post @CoffeeCantata , your patience is amazing! 🤩

@Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar Honestly haven't bothered to read that. Thought you were taking a much needed break.

I think you must be mixing me up with somebody else with your rude message. And you are incredibly rude to dismiss my answer to your other, equally rude post, when I did the courtesy of reading though your very long and rather misogynistic one.

jeffgoldblum · 25/03/2024 10:14

Never waste pearls of wisdom @Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar !

It's no insult, you are the Katesquad - own it. You wouldn't be happy if they ever reconciled as you would run out of negative things to post.

I'll admit that I would be disappointed and concerned if H & M and W & C did reconcile - because I 'm certain it wouldn't work for the RF and UK. (Sorry for alphabet soup!)

I think H & M are a walking disaster in terms of the discretion and standard of conduct required to take on an official role. They're both too egotistical and just never got it (at least, M didn't and H mis-led her).

Some things can't be forgiven on a personal level and I'd think William and Kate weak if they caved in to a reconciliation. And royal supporters would lose respect for KC if he welcomed them back into anything but a personal relationship (but...surely H & M don't want to come back - why do you think they do?? They've told us what they think of the RF and tried to destroy William's and Catherine's public image. How could there be any way back?? Seriously?

It must have taken a massive toll on KC, W and C, to have a family member (H) so publicly humiliate, insult and nearly destroy them (for cash). The stress these 3 will have suffered over the past few years while trying to do their public job and hearing all the gossip to which they can't respond must have been a living nightmare.

I'd be really interested to hear how anyone might imagine their rehabilitation in the UK and with the RF could ever be achieved. Just how would that happen? It baffles me completely.

eise · 25/03/2024 10:39

Responding seems futile. If your tone weren't so dismissive, I might have considered engaging.

jeffgoldblum · 25/03/2024 10:40

Have I read a different post?
Dismissive?

Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar · 25/03/2024 10:41

Yet we all manage to respond to your rude and inflammatory posts, @eise .

eise · 25/03/2024 10:41

The decision to reconcile rests not with the fans, but with the individuals involved. The issue arises when fans perceive themselves as part of or closely connected to the Royal Family, which, in reality, they are not.

Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar · 25/03/2024 10:43

I think dismissive is code for, you don't agree with me and have made some points and observations I can't answer, so an insult will have to do.

Front page of today's Telegraph has Whitehall warning that Russia and China are behind the campaign against Catherine. This is so much more than a family feud.

Salemforcuddles · 25/03/2024 10:44

@eise To clarify, this isn't a discussion it's a space for you to lecture?

jeffgoldblum · 25/03/2024 10:45

I posted a link to the telegraph story on that on a different thread earlier @Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar , very illuminating!
