I must remember that seeing as posters hate anyone “banging on” about Oprah, Spare etc to remind them not to bang on about Diana, Charles and Camilla, you know stuff from 40 plus years ago, also does the 5 year rule apply to Andrew? when do we stop “banging on “ about him, have we hit the 5 year rule yet?

This is the joy of freedom is speech. You are equally able to comment on other threads about them.

Except those who attempt to do so, often attract personal attacks , and are hounded off the threads very rudely.

And Republican posters in particular are named and shamed. There is an example of it on a thread running in Active right now.

I have certainly seem bullying and personal attacked toward posters who have differing opinions. In fact someone made a personal attack against me in this thread which mumsnet subsequently deleted. It should not be tolerated and people should certainly not be named!

I appreciate your fair-minded response and we can very much agree on that point Munnygirl, it’s really unpleasant and it should not be tolerated from either side.

The thing is, Andrew pops up in the news, someone starts a thread and everyone agrees he is an arrogant piece of shit who has got involved in some extremely unsavoury stuff. Nothing more to say really 🤷‍♀️. The Sussexes, on the other hand, pop
up in the news on some faux royal tour or flogging jam etc and people comment from both sides of the the argument. So this is bound to create more discussion about them. It is also bound to create more discussion when, as is the case with the Sentebale story, the Sussexes are seen to tacitly agree with accusations of racism against a woman of colour. Whatever the rights and wrong of what has happened with the chair and trustees, for a “friend” of Harry’s to go on record, with the support of the Sussexes, and accuse Sophie Chandauka of “not being the most important WOC” at the Sentebale polo presentation beggars belief. Yet posters have defended it as “just bantz”. This is why there is a lot of discussion about the Sussexes as opposed to Andrew. Because there is actually something to discuss

I agree with others that say the RF have played a blinder using H & M to distract from any scrutiny on not only Andrew but on the institution that is the Royal family. This country is about to see some of the worst cuts against our most vulnerable yet we are headed up by a family who are billionaires and still largely funded by the tax payer. I am not saying sell or seize assets, the last thing we need is for more UK assets to go to super rich foreigners but the income could be used to invest in fixing UK infrastructure and/or buying back water utility companies? The Royal Family could literally be our Sovereign fund! Their lives wouldn't change but our lives would certainly be better.

So your saying that all the behaviour from Harry and Meghan, the lies , the bullying and Harry’s outrageous behaviour with sentable was in fact a pre planned ploy from the royal family to distract attention away from the already disgraced and loathsome Andrew?

Those dastardly royals and their undercover secret missions!

CurlewKate · 02/04/2025 14:14

I think the thing I find most frustrating about the H&M/K&W threads is that it’s impossible to say anything remotely negative or positive about one couple without automatically being put in the other couple’s camp. It’s really very tedious.

FruitPolos · 02/04/2025 14:17

From what I can gather from the Meghan Derangement Syndrome sufferers on here, it's OK to ignore Andrew's alleged crimes and make thread after thread after thread of complaints about H&M online because some OTHER people online have written nasty things about a woman that H&M are currently in a dispute with, related to charity governance, a matter currently under investigation by the Charities Commission.

I mean, when the criticism is this tenuous you do have to wonder if there's an ulterior motive behind it all.

No I'm not. I don't think you read my post properly.

Andrew doesn’t sell and is of little interest to Joe Public
Harry and Meghan are the only interesting thing about the Royals . The other senior royals are charisma free zones
Many of these so called royal reporters would be unable to pay Tarquin’s and Eleanor’s private school fees if they didn’t write vindictive articles for the Murdoch press about the Sussexes
Also, some want to frustrate Harry so that he comes back to England ( leaving behind his mixed race American wife and their two children) so that he can do the donkey work that William is too bloody lazy to do .

No one wants Harry back in England. Well maybe in the US they do but not here.

And getting her to make a fool of herself on Ellen. Very cunning of them.

So William, while widely being criticized on MN for laziness, has secretly been running a multi-year campaign to discredit his younger brother, Including the imbedding of SC in Sentebale back in the early 2000's, bringing her back c. 2023, etc.

If so, he's brilliant with a genius ability at long-term planning. He will make a great king! Go, William, go!

You are simply not reading what the fans have said. As I said above one of them has had a personal attack on me removed from this very thread.

jeffgoldblum · 02/04/2025 14:37

So it seems this thread wasn’t set up to criticise Andrew but in fact is another thread to absolve h and m of all their behaviour , pin the blame on the royal family and label all posters who criticise h and m as great big meanies who attack others .
excellent! 😀

He's a genius. He probably also said "please include very personal and intimate details (in a book, magazine, tv show, whatever) about our relationship, even though it'll cast me in a bad light, and whatever you do, please mention my penis".
So that's exactly what Harry did.
