And he looks like he wishes he was a million miles away !

Maybe he just wants to go home and eat his Easter eggs 🥙🐣

You never did qualify your assertion about Harry remaining popular on another thread @vera99 - you had to pop out but were going to respond later...

Decent figures considering the amount of sustained vitriol that is aimed at them both. And since he has decamped to the US where the money is more than decent.

Well the US likes both Trump and Harry - go figure!!

"sustained vitriol aimed at them"
Shall we think who has been spewing lies and vitriol over the last 5 years? Meghan and Harry.
Neither KP nor any UK institution has had any part in what they have done since they went to Montecito. If you're going to make money by selling unfounded rumours, other's privacy and make up lies - here's the thing: people will criticise.

Similar men. Arrogant, entitled, self aggrandising. Although at least Trump worked in business, but then he had no private royal stories to sell to make millions, like Harry did.

@Samcro
Agree!
He is by far the youngest there.

"Although at least" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. All Harry threatens—however extreme he may seem—is the future of the British royal family. And yes, I do believe it's that important. Trump, on the other hand, threatens not just the future of the United States, but potentially the world.

Harry threatens nothing. He's a celebrity who's just trading on his royal status and is running out of malicious gossip to sell. Where will he be in 10 years? Trailing behind Meghan on some sort of book tour? At least she has some nous and is actually making money from the hostess shows. What can he sell? Perpetual victimhood? Not very lucrative.
Trump is another matter altogether. Dangerous and very, very powerful.

Well, you're a kinder person than me! It's true that they're very close, but I really don't have time for the York family.
The daughters were brought up by Norland Nannies. At one point they had 3.

All of that type had nannies - am sure Beatrice and Eugenie do too. They do seem to be a genuinely close unit. I don't mind B&E. They can't help who their parents are.

No, they can't, true. My point is that the Norland Nannies helped them to learn how to behave and be decent human beings.

Are you not bored reading the Daily Mail??? You the self-professed Mail hater? Don't you see how silly it makes you look?

Thank you for the supportive comments . I am ok now . Am usually in more control of my emotions but the snide comments about Catherine going on holiday made me snap .
Wine is helping. 🍷

I'm glad you're ok. Don't let the numpties get you down. Enjoy your wine. I'm about to pour myself a nice G&T, so cheers! x

I don’t have any particular candle to burn for Harry and Meghan, other than a general sense that they seem like decent people adrift in the chaotic world of fame and social media. What I do take issue with is the Daily Mail's apparent mission to be the leading purveyor of corrosive articles about the couple — no doubt with the tacit support and compliance of Kensington Palace, led by the newly ennobled Jason Knauf.

The articles all follow the same tired narrative, Harry and Meghan are villains who must be taken down. It’s a relentless hate-fest that I have no interest in contributing to.

Fuck me, you have a weird idea of "decent"!!!!!

There's been plenty of supportive articles relating to H&M in the DM too!

No "villains who need to be taken down" just a load of very, very positive and flattering stuff about her new business.

Indeed! I'm giving credit to them rather than the ghastly parents!

Think whatever you want, I'm not remotely concerned.

You're watched this poster get upset about another poster's comments so you have decided to weigh in? Not cool.
