Meghan’s new insta feed

[Crispynoodle]

Meghan has just popped a video clip of herself in the back of a limo with her feet up travelling through the streets of Paris. Is this rather insensitive given the way her MIL died or is it perfectly normal to post such stuff?

What are they meant to have done/said recently to warrant being booed at?

I’m sorry you had to witness that @BemusedAmerican it must have been really shocking and distressing.

Front row seats whilst someone much more important was seated in the rows behind.

Just think about how that comment would go down in the real world. It is clearly not a normal thing to say when commenting on a family resemblance.
About the children appearing on SM- I don’t know what H&M have said about posting images of their children. If they have said that they’re not going to do it, or that other people shouldn’t do it then they are obviously being hypocritical by doing it themselves and should be called out on it. Does that make it OK for posters on a parenting website to tear those images of small children to shreds?

I agree and hopefully the squad will leave the Wales DC alone .

What was upsetting was everyone was calling the police and trying to get the station workers to come down and there was no response. I really don't know what is going on with the MTA. No one could separate the fighters since we didn't want to get stabbed or slashed.

That's absolutely horrific, how distressing. I hope you're ok, because shock has an impact 💐

No, stay well clear. It can be fatal.
Like the current story in the UK of a dog walker trying to help out in an incident and he got stabbed to death.
Too risky.

I don’t know. There was plenty of celebs there it was a World Series game? It might just be that they are not ‘real fans’

Sorry , should have said CAN’T see .

I am only surprised they didn’t ask for the area around them to be cleared ( Wimbledon)

It’s a perfectly normal thing to say that a nephew looks like their great uncle in the real world, but in this mumsnet world, posters have to caveat their comments because posters like you will twist whatever they say to suit their narrative as you have so clearly demonstrated on this thread. You are being completely disingenuous about not knowing about Harry and Meghan’s stance on children on social media, you know full well. As for small children being torn to shreds, maybe your ire should be directed at the parents who continually release these images for millions all over the world to comment on for either good or bad, to line their own pockets, to create headlines and clickbait and to promote their brand using images of their children who cannot consent, just a thought.

This, x 💯

Using melodramatic language doesn't help your case. Nobody here is tearing "those images of small children to shreds", as evidenced by your inability to find examples. A post you personally do not consider 'normal' does not equal 'tearing to shreds'.

About the children appearing on SM- I don’t know what H&M have said about posting images of their children.

Shifting goalposts now? That's not what I asked.

I asked if you believed it appropriate that parents who have won an 'award' for highlighting the risks of social media should choose to frequently feature their children on social media, when there is no reason for them ever to be seen in public.

Do you?

Well it doesnt have to be...its a choice adults make to say what they say. You actively make a choice noone is forcing you to. So 💁‍♀️ maybe is people stopped we would have a better world.

Because thay poster made a comment about me spending time on here so I replied back to that. I didnt start lambasting people. Theres a difference

There children need to be safe online if you ever bothered to read about is about children using social media, those people whose children who have lost their lives because their children were using social media platforms and being exposed ro content they shouldn't have been. Those parents affected arent talkinf about we posted pics of our kids on our sm account and it caused this to happen ...they are raising awareness about how their child using a sm platform are being exposed to inappropriate content and platforms should be doing more.

No, they didn’t. They said, “You are too — but what you constantly spend your time doing is quoting others just to disagree and argue.”

They weren’t criticising you for being on here a lot, they were pointing out that when you are, most of what you do is quote other people and pick apart what they’re saying, rather than posting an opinion on the subject or saying something positive. Which is true. You’ve explained your reasons for that, fair enough, but you’ve completely misread what this poster was actually saying and were pretty rude to them and others in the process.

No, I don’t.

Do you think saying a small child looks neglected and feral is OK, regardless of what their parents have said?

Right. It only took me asking the question three times, but now I see we agree about the Sussexes' hypocrisy.

I told you in my very first reply yesterday evening that I don't think those sort of comments are OK, so I'm not at all sure why you're asking again.

I haven’t said anything about the children if you look through my posts. I was politely explaining that human nature is what it is. And I’m not on SM anywhere else. And I was pointing out that the adults have posted the images here. They have chosen to do so whilst claiming that the online world is harmful to children and have not used common sense which says that there will be always be some people who will comment, regardless of your Utopian wish that they don’t. So in reality, as opposed to in some fantasy world where everyone behaves responsibly, the only way to protect those children is to post nothing at all about them and no photos. Which is doable as pp have said

Apologies. I did say earlier that I didn’t know what the Sussexes had said about children and Social Media. All I knew was that they, like many people chose not to reveal their children’s faces. Frankly, for me this thread was about people’s comments on the images, not the images themselves. I’ll happily take your word for it that they were being hypocritical. As I said, and I’m glad you agree, that does not excuse the many unpleasant comments on this thread about small children.

if Harry and Meghan wanted to run Highgrove as a book retreat / clay pigeon shooting space then as it’s Charles no/one would object if they paid a semi commercial rent.

Actually, Highgrove is part of the Duchy of Cornwall so belongs to William.

And no way could the favoured residence of the King be used for commercial purposes open to the public!

I applaud them for not turning the kids into full time props, but they’re effectively being used as click bait as many people are just trying to watch to screen shot a face to see who they resemble most.

I don't think anyone deserves 'applause' for not overtly merching their children.

But if we want to look at it in strictly business terms, the problem is that Meghan's 'brand' is supposedly about friends and family. If that is to have any hope of success, she needs to essentially invite the public into her family life. Back of head shots with a crap soundtrack are boring, soulless and won't maintain much interest. So quite aside from the fact that lifestyle brands are veyr last decade, I don't see 'As Ever' going on to have much success. The branding is incoherent, the products are bland and she's not offering anything that can't be got from the supermarket for a fraction of the price.

All I knew was that they, like many people chose not to reveal their children’s faces.

Many, probably most, celebrities choose not to reveal their children at all.

The Sussexes frequently feature theirs on social media, which is odd given their public stance on the dangers it poses to children. A creepy heart emoji plonked over the face does not cancel that out.

How deranged are people to think posters are criticising the children?!

At no point has someone said- at 4 years old, Lili really should be able to dress better and do her own hair.

Comments on the kids have been regarding how they are being cared for by their Nannie’s/parents.

Children aren’t responsible for their clothing and personal care- their guardians are. Thats what we are commenting on ffs
