What’s with the personal attack on @MrsLeonFarrell?
it’s a very well known thing on mn that spa weekends are continuously being suggested as gifts or experiences for every woman on here!
out of this entire thread, that you singled this one comment out for criticism , very odd!

Yes, if my DH had emptied the gas canisters for his own high while I was in labour, there certainly wouldn't have been baby no 2.

Not that the Portland use gas canisters. Another lie.

Harry said in his mental health speech 'you don't have to wait until you are lying on the kitchen floor in a fetal position '. OMG.

Yes I accidentally heard him say this on tv not long ago! ( damn breakfast tv!) , he actually managed to say it in an extremely whiny yet egotistical way too! Such talent!

Whilst I find Meghan frustrating, I can't imagine how tiring it must be being married to Harry. She basically has 3 children and the oldest is constantly offended and whiny.

I would agree if Meghan was not also a child. The problem in their set up is that there is no responsible adult making sound decisions based on the best interests of the family. It’s all me, me, me.

What a weird and totally unnecessary personal attack.

It is crazy that this hasnt been sorted. People die in accidents all the time, it would obviously be very unusual but accidents usually are.
They need to get him out of the succession thing. Imagine him in his khaki outfits whispering amd mumbling on about cleansing. It'd be torture.

You can’t just pick and choose who you have in the line of succession - that is the whole point of an inherited monarchy. If you are picking and choosing then you need to go the whole hog and elect a president.

Although an interesting discussion, we have already discussed this extensively on this forum!
it has no relevance on the thread however.

Also, @Lockupyourbiscuits - he needs to learn that he shouldn't pontificate on everything. He's not an expert. He's not even wise.
Just give it a rest.

Loads of celebrities do this though. Just look at all the daytime chat shows inviting actors on as if they have any real expertise on anything. Not just daytime talk shows either, news programmes do it to. Just look at the Assisted Dying Bill - Esther Rantzen is wheeled out as if she has some greater insight that means we should listen to her over and above people with real knowledge.

He talks about being the best possible version of himself to meet Archie. I guess that included getting high on the gas - if you believe that story.

The Archie who he and his wife left 17 time zones away, in order to go on a jolly? Along with his 4 year old sister?

'Here, Catch'

You do have to wonder how that assistant gets treated when the cameras aren't rolling...

At about 58-60 seconds, does unmasked Meghan actually go in for a kiss of that child’s cheek / side of head?

That would be the young child without a mask who has B cell Leukaemia.

You don’t think being in the line of succession has any relevance to Harry’s position? How odd.

Although, to be fair, Esther Rantzen does have a good track record with engagement and campaigning on a number of issues, however I take your point.
Many celebrities do pontificate, as if their special status somehow gives them more insight than the rest of us.

Yes, Parliament can, because it's a Constitutional Monarchy. They ultimately decide (see Edward VIII).

Yes. They definitely need a responsible adult to help and supervise.

Not on this thread no! , we are clearly discussing Harry once again pontificating while on a faux royal tour of Australia.
perhaps start your own thread to discuss this further if you find it interesting.

Can you ever be more than 12 time zones away?

It is only a faux ‘royal’ tour because he is in the line of succession.

She’s always introduced as a ‘campaigner’.

Just as Harry should be introduced as a private citizen and wannabe businessman with no formal training or qualifications.

Edward VIII abdicated, the government may have applied a lot of pressure but he could have chosen to stay and forgo marrying Mrs Simpson. The government didn’t get to decide it was him or who came next.

Ricky Gervais is excellent on this topic, funnily enough!

I’m trying to be polite! The vast majority of posters on this thread have been discussing the royal family, the line of succession and everything in between for years!
we know all about it ! , this new information, is only new to you!
I have my suspicions that you are deliberately posting off topic!
but I will give you the benefit of the doubt.
