@Samcro -& @Stripeyanddotty I'm sorry if you took my post like that - I thought it was a relatively mild joke - not bashing . I did like seeing the ducklings.

Re Andrew at the Church service - I think I am right in this , in that Andrew was told he could be seen at family occasions which were Easter and Christmas. Now yes - he also was all garbed up at the coronation which is a family with a capital RF occasion and personally I think it was a mistake to let him wear his robes at that. Not saying he shouldn't have turned up at all , but he should have been asked to wear a morning suit like Harry - and to be fair Harry was asked / told what to wear - and he did.

Yes, good points 👍.

I think that's her projected image now, isn't it, @LaMarschallin . As someone said on another thread, she's gone away from her original presentation and is now a trad wife, in linen clothing, making food look pretty. There's nothing wrong with that, it's her choice. It's all a bit Real Housewives, imo, but we shall see.

To be honest I don't watch Real Housewives type shows but I would be tempted if she were on it to see her getting her arse handed to her on a platter!

No one is defending Andrew . What else is there to say ?
Is “Meghan bashing” the new “ hate” ?

he was in the news just yesterday. what else is there to say about Meghan?
loads of threads to bash her.

It’s just a general branching out of the current topic. Someone posted a nice article about Meghan after someone said the daily mail doesn’t post flattering articles about her. Don’t be the thread police.

MadeInGrimsby · 21/04/2025 11:54

Thank you, @PrettyFlyforaMaiTai . Let's get the facts straight! A poster claimed that the Daily Mail was always publishing "corrosive" articles about Harry and Meghan. I looked on the website. In a couple of minutes I found this lovely one (qv). Meghan looks lovely, the pictures are nice, it promotes her business - all good. It also proves that the DM does not vilify H&M.
How on earth that constitutes "Meghan bashing" I do not know.
I sometimes wonder if some people don't actually read the posts at all!

And so what? People want to "bash" Andrew or Charles or William ? People want to " bash" Meghan ? That's the name of the game.

Stripeyanddotty · 21/04/2025 12:24

@themightysossidge
Ah come on
For every post ‘bashing’ any other RF member there are at least half a dozen bashing Meghan. All running to dozens of pages. However, it’s the same posters all the time so probably a very small number of people actually engaging in the threads.

Maybe people find they are worthy of being bashed, just like people are happily bashing William and Andrew? You cannot police other people’s opinions and forbid them from commenting on topics that you don’t like. Thats not how message boards or democracy works 🤷🏼‍♀️

So post positive threads about Meghan and Harry ?

PrettyFlyforaMaiTai · 21/04/2025 12:40

If you feel that strongly about Harry and Meghan bashing maybe you should submit to the Michelle Obama school of thought ‘when they go low, we go high”. Or just ignore?

Or just read the posts, and understand that C&C, William and Andrew have all come in for heavy criticism. Harry and Meghan do not have special status.

@MadeinGrimsby

Meghanis a controversial figure. She's a very prominent celebrity. She's giving pictures and a story to the Daily Mail. People are going to comment. There is no bashing.
If you have a look, plenty of us have joined in very direct criticism of Andrew, with some very robust points.
Let me tell you if Andrew released such things to the press he'd get a lot more criticism.”

So associating with known paedophiles and paying off an underage woman isn’t bad enough?

Who on earth has claimed that?
Really?
Come on. Not one person has ever excused Andrew, minimised his behaviour nor said Meghan is as bad.
I actually find it very offensive that you would even claim that has been written in here.
Very offensive.

I’m in from removing a pampas grass from the garden ( don’t ask!!!) , I missed all the joy from yesterday evening onwards and see we have the same accusations as usual!!

but I wanted to applaud this post from @CurlewKate! 👏.

MadeInGrimsby · 21/04/2025 13:28

Come on everybody:
Who on here has ever said Andrew is ok and isn't as bad as Meghan?
Honestly. I'm seriously fed up with all these nonsensical accusations.

Because I think it's nonsense.

Apologies @MadeInGrimsby!!!
due to very bad tagging at the beginning of @CurlewKatepost I didn’t realise she was actually quoting you!!!! 😳,
I did think it was odd that I would agree with her !!!
I redirect my applause to your post , which is what I was agreeing with!!!

I’m in two minds about Andrew going to church. It’s Easter and he’s a sinner. Which let’s be fair is what Easter is about - Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. If Going to church at Easter to repent with his family I don’t see as a bad thing.

But he should have walked in before them or after them or through a side door. Not walked down with them.

Totally agree!

CurlewKate · 21/04/2025 13:50

I think my bad tagging has really screwed up the last few posts-I apologise.

@MadeInGrimsbyyou said “Oh fgs. Meghan is a controversial figure. She's a very prominent celebrity. She's giving pictures and a story to the Daily Mail. People are going to comment. There is no bashing.

I understood that to mean that if Andrew had
released stories to the Daily Mail he would get a lot more criticism-his behaviour alone isn’t enough. Apologies if I misunderstood you.

MadeInGrimsby · 21/04/2025 13:59

@CurlewKate you did misunderstand me. Thank you for the apology.
My point stands.
Quite rightly, if Andrew released anything promoting himself, he would certainly be vilified by all of us on here, as he is anyway, as it stands.

MadeInGrimsby · 21/04/2025 14:01

Thank you, @jeffgoldblum .
I thought you were usually more measured than that! However, it's an easy mistake to make.
I just think that frequent, and incorrect accusations of "Meghan bashing" and worse, the suggestion that any of us would ever excuse Andrew, is very offensive, and seems to be a perpetual problem on here.
Sorry I snapped, Jeff 👍

MadeInGrimsby · 21/04/2025 14:02

All this because I shared a really nice story about Meghan from the DM and I didn't even criticise her for it!

gailforce1 · 21/04/2025 14:16

For all those "bashing" William and family for not attending church - they went to their local church at Sandringham.
