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.

You need to try harder. But you also don’t get to police threads. You are very agitated about a person precisely because he is the king’s son. You constantly call for KC to step into the political arena and make comments about him precisely because he is his son. Yet the only relevance his son has is because he is in the line of succession. Without that he would be irrelevant. You seem to be as confused as Harry as to whether you want him to be a private citizen or not….

You are aware that deliberately derailing a thread and posting off topic ( especially when you have been politely asked to stop) is against mn guidelines?
I will ask you to either keep to the topic at hand or start a thread on the topic of your choice.

Your personal attack on my posts (against MN guidelines) is derailing the thread. Please stop.

I don’t think @jeffgoldblum is trying to police the thread, although in fairness the OP does have a certain responsibility to keep the thread on track. But she’s right, the LOS question has been debated long and hard on these threads so you might find it illuminating to do an advanced search. You may find your queries have been answered.

sorry that was to @kiminki,the quote dropped off my post! Having fat finger problems here so apologies for multiple edits

She's done nothing of the sort. An OP is entitled to ask posters to keep to the topic, and she's done this politely.

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.

Yes. They do.
Parliament has the final say.
It's a fascinating history of this evolution, but Parliament, by law, is Sovereign.

Is that picture posted above real? The one with the little lad?

I really hope it isn't.

If you mean the one with Saddam Hussein, yes I'm pretty sure it's real ... I remember one like this, or very similar, being issued at the time, and IIRC that was before before digital manipulation became so widespread

Oh that's a very real picture from Kuwait- it was absolutely chilling and still is.

I think the picture we're both questioning is the one at the Aussie hospital with the boy with no top clothing on, Meghan in the foreground and parents smiling behind. I can't believe anyone would think that was appropriate, surely it can't be real?

OP is derailing the thread by picking on my posts without engaging with them. The fact that something was discussed in 2015 doesn’t mean it cannot ever be discussed again by people new to the topic. Not that my point about being in the LOS was more than to say PH can never be an entirely private person or irrelevant to the RF whilst he holds that position - OP acknowledges this in her repeated calls for KC to reemphasise the fact PH is his son by making a statement about his actions.

jeffgoldblum · 15/04/2026 11:41

I was just about to post the same @Indianrollerbird!

Just a polite reminder, the topic of the thread is at the top of the thread.
its Harry and Meghan in Australia 🇦🇺
let’s keep on topic.

I can’t copy paste the text but the bbc article has him contradicting himself so much re upgrades:
“Kids are our upgrades but I am not an upgrade on my dad and my kids are not an upgrade on me but kids need to be our upgrades”
So… is he saying he is failing to raise his kids well as they need to be an upgrade of him but aren’t?

Harry says children should be an 'upgrade' of their parents https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93ee1dp93lo

That makes absolutely no sense at all, even by Harry's standards, and where did he get that ridiculous "upgardes" notion from anyway? Hmm

As for the comment about them being part of the royals and the sooner that's in everyone's mind the better, I don't need Harry dictating what should be in other people's minds thanks all the same - especially given the mess his own appears to be

Once again, they talk about children in terms that no parent I have ever met speaks about their children. Who talks about their kid like they are a piece of computer software? Does he think this makes him sound intelligent?

It’s his impersonation of ‘global thought leader and expert’.

It’s a bit like listening to Nicola Sturgeon on feminism and honesty in politics.

This is our upgrade we want you to install, but I'm not saying this is an upgrade on your previous software and I am not saying it's any better but it still needs to be upgraded.

It's like a line from the IT Crowd.

At least we now know the real reason Meghan was there, and at the shelter later.

It was to promote her new collaboration with an online fashion retailer.

Now, you too can look like Meghan while visiting sick children.

Tackiness aside, having to travel across the world to merch an obscure online retailer is quite a step down from having the world's top couture houses competing to dress her. With someone else picking up the bill.
