If they have a PR team now, they should be hanging their heads in shame.

No doubt they'll be thrown under the bus when the inevitable backlash comes, even though I dont think any PR person in their right minds would have advised them to do this.

Oh certain posters still cast doubt on Catherine’s cancer. They find it all very “complicated”.

That was such an unpleasant, snide comment .

Mylovelygreendress · 17/04/2026 08:52

Not yours @Indianrollerbird- the poster who said it ( and never explained)

Unusually , I like M’s shirt and trousers combo .

How could anyone actually think this is ok?
What was it someone said upthread? -
"They need a responsible adult" They do.

This is what happens when you self promote and lack awareness of others.

I do remember that now. It’s shocking how people think they are owed personal medicinal information of public people and how wild the theories can be about them.

Yes. She had to share details because "we pay for them". Also vile rumours about William being an abusive husband.

pepperminticecream · 17/04/2026 08:39

Ugh, I just read that one is the attendees in this girls weekend retreat is a social media influencer who is very outspoken about her gross theory that Kate faked her cancer.

Another low. It's just awful, isn't it?

It's been shown over and over that they just won't listen to advice, from anyone, even the top courtiers in the rf at the time. I dont think anyone can get through to them at this stage if the actual queen couldn't.

Thanks @Indianrollerbirdand @OctopusFriendand @ShamedBySiri! For this , I’m too disgusted to say anything! 😡 , I would also mention after Harry’s diplomatic cock up with Israel and Palestine , this is a bad look for him too!

I wonder if she left a wickless candle at the site from her As Ever range with a QR code to order and her staff had hand held card reader devices to take orders.

I wonder if the designers of today’s outfits / accessories will include photos of today’s excursion on their websites like the photos of her with the very very ill children? Is PH merching anything? Maybe he can sell fake plastic medals for fancy dress accessories.

IAmATorturedPoet · 17/04/2026 09:09

i have just caught up and I’m pretty speechless at this latest stunt. I thought they couldn’t go any lower and now a mere 48hrs later here we are, MM the ‘philanthropist’ is merching off the back of a massacre.

Either her PR team don’t have a brain cell between them or this awful woman needs to learn to just shut the 🤬 up and take the advice of people that do actually know better than her.

They are pushing the Overton Window. They are trying to normalise something we know isn't right, de facto royal duty + merching. And the more the media and the powers that be (BP, our government) say nothing, the more they keep "failing upwards", continue being gifted further lucrative/prestigious opportunities, and suffer zero real life consequences for all their disgusting behaviour, the more people will just lose interest and let them get on with it. Their eventual goal is people seeing it as ok - that's just what H&M do.

Was she the reddish one who in defence of her dedication to accuracy and facts ‘boasted’ that she was set up 24/7 with two computers and two computer screens so she could more effectively paste her posts on RF threads?

HelenaWilson · 17/04/2026 09:17

Unusually , I like M’s shirt and trousers combo .

Yes, so do I. But as usual, not appropriate for the occasion. This would be a time for a neutral beige that doesn't attract attention.

I remember those horrible 'Where's Kate' threads here on MN. I namechange quite often, but I was one of those reporting and asking MN to please delete them and they wouldn't. Not MNHQ's finest hour.

I agree. Perhaps we were on the same ones! The vitriol Kate got for the Mother's Day picture was just horrific - those threads did not get deleted.

I think you're right. It's a case of centring themselves absolutely, focusing on their fame and money making that makes them lose sight of any moral parameters.
That's my polite way of phrasing it.

This is an interesting article in the Guardian.

An explanation of why Meghan receives so much criticism.

Guardian

I'm catching up.

That's a badly written and poorly researched article. Standards in The Guardian have really gone downhill in the last few years, which might explain why they rarely allow comments.

If you are going to write about scapegoat you need at least some knowledge about the examples you have chosen to make your points. I feel Diana and Meghan were put in to generate clicks as opposed to actually proving her point. For example her contention that Diana was universally adored simply isn't true but she needs it to be too contrast her with Meghan, again not universally hatred. Simplistic and incorrect, typical Guardian opinion piece.

No, you said there are several factual, provable books about Harry being critical of Andrew. I'm unaware of these books so I'm asking you to name them so I can find for myself if Harry actually criticised AMW.

I have not. and never would, defend Andrew and his crimes, so please don't concoct offensive lies about me.

Have you read, 'Spare'? There's your first one.

And 'Entitled - the rise and fall of the House of York'.

There's another. Both have references to Harry finding his uncle's behaviour scandalous and another where Harry actually punches him for his behaviour.

H actually put out a denial to the story that he hit Andrew. If you think you are defending H, get your story straight!

I just knew they would take a visit to the scene of the Bondi massacre while they were here. Busy marching her outfit meanwhile. I’m really sickened by them.

This is absolutely appalling even by their very grabby standards.

TigerIsHome · 17/04/2026 09:40

Indianrollerbird · 17/04/2026 08:13

Anyway, Meghan and Harry are now officially lying in a gutter and staring into the arsehole of bad taste. Visit to the site of the Bondi Beach anti-Semitic shooting, followed by the immediate merching of her outfit for this occasion. She’s disgusting. Profiting off her disaster tourism and the suffering of others.

But it's ok for the King to host a banquet with Trump? And to possibly be going to visit with him after his behaviour??? I'd say if M and H are staring into the 'arsehole of bad taste', the King is right up his colon!

He doesn't criticise Andrew for his behaviour in "Spare".
Harry absolutely denies punching Andrew.

It's KC's job.

The Markles do not have a public role, they flounced. Don't you follow these things?
