Going by all the 'child free wedding' threads here, many parents are reluctant to leave their children a 3 hour drive away for just one night, let alone for several days on the other side of the world.

And like you say, H&M do this quite often. If I understand this correctly, Harry was originally invited to Oz to give a talk, and Meghan tagged along and now it's a whole 'tour'. Why choose to leave your children so far away when you won't even visit London because of 'security'?

Aye, there's the question. It's too risky to get a private limo and sit in Westminster Abbey with Heads of State, but they'll cross the globe and mingle with anyone willing.
It's funny what the lure of money can do.

Speaking of children, I don't have any myself but am assuming many here do.

How many of you would be happy to leave two young children on the other side of the world without either of their parents? Most parents I know don't leave their children unless it's really neccessary, let alone 17 time zones away. It's not like they had to make this trip. It was a choice.

Absolutely. When my dcs were still primary school age, my dh won an award at work. Part of the prize was an all expenses paid trip to a five star resort in South Africa. There was no way we were going to both be such a long flight from our DCs, even though my dps were more than capable of looking after them.

I do feel bad commenting on Meghan’s appearance. And I often think she looks beautiful and glowing, but what I’ve seen of her on this tour she looks rough. Brows too heavy, teeth too large. Fake tan? She has a hardness about her lately that she didn’t always have. Part of if comes from the silly perma-grin that just makes her look inauthentic.

Sorry that was me! @MrsLeonFarrell!

Don't be sorry, it was an interesting idea and I was frustrated it happened at the end of the thread!

I have two! And I wouldn’t dream of doing it now they are older! Definitely not when they were younger.

This is such a horrible photo, it must be worst one of Meghan I've seen. She should be utterly ashamed of herself.

Apparently MN won't post the photo. It's the one of a gurning Meghan grasping a tiny, frightened looking girl.

MrsLeonFarrell · 14/04/2026 17:48

I didn't leave mine, I know people who would but for a special occasion only and not so frequently. I'm not really a small child person, much prefer teenagers, and I wonder if Meghan too struggles to interact with littles.

Noodledog · 14/04/2026 17:48

And of course now it's posted 😂

It's not even two months since their Middle East 'tour' isn't it?

I'm sure the children are perfectly safe, but it's really unusual for parents to leave such young children so far away so often.

Awful photograph. Looks as though the child is getting a thorough telling off.

Yes, and high profile, controversial parents like Harry and Meghan.
They went to Nigeria, Colombia, the Middle East.
They do not understand risk.

She is an attractive woman, but doesn’t look half her age.

Harry's missing an opportunity here, he should team up with Elizabeth Arden and merch their 8 hour cream.

Blood-curdling social media campaign ideas are already forming in my overactive imagination.

I don’t like to criticise other people’s parenting normally but yes I find the fact that they both go away at the same time and leave the children home ( particularly when they would enjoy going too!) so very frequently for trips which are nothing more than jollies inexcusable!
as I’ve said before, my dh was forces so was away a lot but it was his job , I never left them because it’s important for children to have a stable and consistent life , even Hollywood actors generally have a plan so that only one is away at a time!

Have a read of the threads you've started and then tell me which posts are hateful.

A stunning black woman who looks half her age and married to a prince with millions in the bank seems to bring out the worst in people.

Actually, her facelift has made her look older than her years, she used to look gorgeous.
