To continue the discussion.

I thought the comparison with the Duke snd Duchess of Windsor (last post on the previous thread) was interesting.

A visit to a dodgy regime, (Nazi Germany) because they would call Wallis HRH and make it a quasi-royal tour.

Of course, at that point Nazi Germany had a dodgy human rights record, but it was before the horrors of the Holocaust.

Let's face it, with the security and human rights issues there is no way the IG could happen in Nigeria. So that is sn excuse.

All the other ladies have thier heads covered, is this a thing? I'm not knowledgeable about Nigeria.

how is it a quasi royal visit?

They are behaving as if it was a royal visit. The media are reporting it as if it was a royal visit. The BBC website is giving it as much attention as William's visit to Cornwall and the Scillies!

Pollipops1 · 10/05/2024 17:22

What exactly is the issue?

it’s actually mental, I don’t get it!

Where did I say that the Nigerian press were concerned about her dress!
Read my posts! 😆
This happens all the time on here. Challenged on something that I never wrote.
very odd

Not odd at all. I just mistakenly referred to someone else’s point when replying yours.

I was asking what the issue is with her visit?
Have they broken any rules/laws? (I am not an avid RF follower).

How so? plenty of celebs do similar visits.

How are they making the media report on it as such? It’s top billing on many media outlets because it’s click bait. All the people who aren’t interested in them, wish they would go away etc will all be clicking, reading, commenting, etc 😆

It's very entertaining! Livin it large as Royals!
They love it, why not. I hope folks are bowing and curtseying. If they don't know how, Meghan will teach them😂

Pollipops1 · 10/05/2024 17:26

The overdone bronzer is always a feature when she’s pushing that she’s a “woman of colour”. She could have bronzed the rest of the exposed flesh to match… or, y’know, not tried so hard to darken it.

Wow!

AnnieSF · 10/05/2024 17:26

What's wrong with commenting on what Meghan wears ? It's part and parcel of her thing.

I don't want them to go away! Far too entertaining.

I haven't seen one word yet about Invictus. Have I missed it?

I asked a poster before…is there a rule that’s been broken that I’m ignorant of. Then I could better understand all of the negativity.
Because at the moment I have no idea what the issue is!

RisingSunn · 10/05/2024 17:16

They were invited by a General, they have met with wounded veterans…and at the same time Meghan has had the opportunity to connect with her ancestral roots.

The Nigerian media are not concerned about her dress.

What exactly is the issue?

I missed the 'wounded veterans' but do we know how they got their injuries?

The Nigerian military has an appalling human rights record, as do others recently welcomed to the cozy 'Invictus family'.

As for her 'ancestral roots', probably the majority of her ancestry is in North West Europe. Shall we expect some pseudo royal visits there too?

Pollipops1 · 10/05/2024 17:30

@RisingSunn you need to catch up, everything in the world is their fault! Don’t look for logic, you shall not find any!

Pollipops1 · 10/05/2024 17:31

why do you care where she visits?

I see we're back to 'Why do you care?' after a brief flirtation with 'How do you know?'

is the Quasi Royal element? Getting cosy up to dodgy regimes? That’s a fair point.

@AnnieSF , it's definitely not a good look !!
Lack of judgment?
Or ignorance about social issues?

Both as usual. It’s hard to understand how she keeps getting it wrong.
