Not sure why Meghan had to zoom past the VP to hug the husband. For someone who studied international relations at Northwestern, she seems oblivious to the cultural norms of others.

The Duchess also said that she encourages Lilibet to not 'suffer in silence or even sit in silence if in those moments you want to be heard'.

ehhhh I think she will regret that one when Lilibet hits her teens 😂

I'm sure the people at her preschool are already regretting it. 😀

Whilst I appreciate your version is more likely to be the case @smilesy, I prefer the Partridge version. 😁

Why don’t act like your inspiration and practice kindness and love…….instead of using language such as ‘dirty rag, unhinged, amoral, hatred’

With a kiss at the end!

Which other royal would speak another language so well as Meghan she's an all rounder, Harry chose well IMHO x

Prince Phillip always said he did not speak Greek (as he left when a small child) but could understand it very well. He spoke German extremely well, and also French.

The late Queen spoke good French (she has made speeches in France and Quebec in French)

Queen Camilla speaks good Spanish and adequate French.
King Charles has good French and German and adequate Welsh

So lots of other royals can operate adequately (or better) in a second (or third, or fourth) language

The X posts uploaded on Reddit are showing many Colombians annoyed that the VP is spending money on H & M while hospital workers have been unpaid for months. Kids don't have enough to eat.

I was appalled that those poor kids had to stand next to them with a officer holding a kevlar shield behind them. They must have been terrified.

The link that I posted a few minutes ago is from a Columbian who isn’t impressed either, they were speaking out that it isn’t the fault of the British media. It’s overwhelming how many Colombians feel aggrieved by them being there on what’s being called a “free holiday” for the Sussexes.

Many chairs seem to be in danger from Meghan on a mission. See also Commonwealth Service 2020 😆

As said before, if you can't get her name/title right, it rather undermines the rest of your post.

Not that I'm saying everyone must get every jot and tattle spot on to be heard. But some errors are so big, it's hard to see how someone who makes then can have even a basic grasp of the issues

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 18/08/2024 20:53

Has she had more work done on her face/teeth or is it due to weightloss? The manic smiling with those veneers, under the Panama hat, have been reminding me of something all day....then I realise it's 'Phteven', the internet dog.

Plus how hard is it to match a white skirt with a white top?!

Yes, I got those exact same phteven vibes. Think it’s the weight loss.

I have to say I do think it’s a failing on the part of Charles that Harry has turned out the way he has. He’s obviously been brought up with no real insight into his family history or protocols. No understanding of why things work the way they do. No loyalty to his family, no empathy, no insight. No sense of who he is outside that system, just a cypher for Meghan to put her stamp on. It’s quite scary.

You can lead a horse to water.... etc. I don't blame Charles for Harry's lack of intelligence.

I can't believe she actually told the P&G story again 😂 Mortifying! And it sounds like she only said the first line or two in Spanish? Any one could do that, in fact most people would make the effort to do a little more.

So having exhausted telling the Procter&Gamble story in English, she’s now resorted to telling it in Spanish. Ay Caramba!

I wouldn't say she's fluent in Spanish, and she still has a strong American accent. Knows enough to hold a basic conversation, but that's about it.

Decent beginner level. Which tracks with having learnt it during her few months spent in Argentina.

Edit to say: she's not kept it up
And I say this as someone at about her level in Spanish too.

What a load of nonsense!

That may be even worse than Harry's "our kids aren't on social media". It's just utter tripe.

Duchess Meghan is wearing simple cream and white today she looks absolutely gorgeous (as per usual). Have you seen the article in the dm 😍. Her husband loves her 🌹

How facile.

I don't have to convince anyone of anything this is a simple fact whether anyone cares to admit it or not....I am and I have stated this fact!

Simple.

'The Duchess also said that she encourages Lilibet to not 'suffer in silence or even sit in silence if in those moments you want to be heard'.'

Makes you wonder what's going on at home that Lilibet is suffering...... Meghan really does need to think about what she's saying 😂
