They can't possibly think it's ok to have a vulnerable young child who can't consent being photographed in that state of undress. Surely? Surely that doesn't require guidance? Surely you overrule the ill-advised parents in this instance? H&M are parents and supposed advocates for online child safety. They shouldn't need to have an adviser telling them this is all kinds of wrong.

A sickly/poorly unclothed child, in a hospital, shying away from the camera.

And Harry dares lecture about online privacy? About having his privacy stolen at his most vulnerable times as a child and adolescent? And Meghan posts pics of the back of her children's heads?

If they haven't understood it by now, they never will. More fool anyone who goes along with them. They all deserve all the opprobrium they get.

I agree.
There is a parent in the picture clearly not wanting their photo taken and I feel sad for the little boy. I don’t like to criticise other peoples parenting but I think that’s a bad call.

OctopusFriend · 14/04/2026 19:36

Omg, how dare they lecture people about privacy and moan about their own situation.
What rank hypocrisy.

Meghan was wearing bespoke Dior.
Charles certainly paid enough for her clothing allowance.

He did. He treated her with generosity throughout her time in the RF.

Incredibly generous. He stumped up £millions for the wedding alone.

Noodledog · 14/04/2026 17:46

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

Did you paint on the walls? DID YOU??

StrawberryWasp · 14/04/2026 19:41

All the MM photos with Disney princes filters are hilarious 😂

Can I ask a question about teeth, which is relevant to MM but also to other celeb types, particularly American ones:

When they smile they seem to show all their teeth right to the very back and their 'bite' seems quite flat. IYKWIM?
In real life most people seem to show their front teeth maybe 3 pairs but the back teeth are set further back inside the mouth as the bite is a curved C shape.

I'm not sure if that description makes any sense to anyone?😂

Is this phenomenon because more beautiful women have flatter faces? wider mouths? because they are so thin? or the work of veneers and dentistry?

I've really noticed it with MM lately but I see it on others too.
I'll look for a picture to illustrate.

I hope those parent groups campaigning for online safety dump this pair for good now. This whole charade at the hospital is beyond the pale.

They cannot possibly allow any connection to H&M now, they've proven themselves to be unaware of child protection and safeguarding.

There’s every possibility they felt pressured into going by hospital management. Tired and vulnerable parents not wanting to piss off the people looking after their child, perhaps? This hospital needs to be investigated for allowing this. What money has changed hands to allow vulnerable children and families to be exploited?

And yet she moaned she wasn’t being paid , wasn’t allowed to accept freebies and was forced to live in a cottage .

...with top level security, a housekeeping service, drivers, chefs, a valeting service, limos, personal shoppers...
Yes, it must have been awful!

Yes, you are quite right they could have felt pressured into being there, which is also sad.

The hospital have not come out of this looking too good and there are questions that really need to be answered here.

HelenaWilson · 14/04/2026 20:04

Joining a bit late, but why does she stick with those sludgy brown colours that don't suit her? She looks so much better in bright colours.

Sorry ladies! I was off frantically searching the background of the Wembley game to see if I can spot dd!! 😱

Thanks for the thread.

The itinerary for the Best Life retreat appears to have been posted on X.

Focus is poor so here’s the link.

Apparently you arrive at the hotel from 3pm on Friday, and by 4:30 (after security checks etc , settling into your room at your own pace, enjoying welcome drinks) you get to line up for the photos with Meghan (VIP guests).

Hard luck if you are late or had planned on arriving after work!

Catching up but...Sunday canapes and bubbly at 4pm followed by a three course dinner at 5pm sounds not only pretty woman vs food heavy on the guts but also... early.
Maybe they should just call it high tea and have done.

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.

A long time ago I used to do agency work in London, the agency I worked for supplied wealthy people, usually elderly, needing a nurse in the home for a while. I once went to a family where the parents had gone to Rio de Janeiro for six weeks, leaving the nine month old baby with the nanny. Nanny had slipped a disc and I had to care for baby and nanny.
Dad was a banker, the house was on a side street just off the King's Road. It had a below ground level large kitchen and dining room, slightly above ground floor was a large sitting room and a study, the next floor was a large room for the baby and a tiny room for the nanny, and the parents had their suite above (which I never ventured up to and didn't see). (Obviously there were loos/bathrooms as well).
The baby was weaned obviously, nanny had set up a kettle and area to mix up baby food in the room - I never gave him so much as a mashed banana 🤷‍♀️ but had to get a few bits from the kitchen.
When they were due home nanny said to me "Have you got all the baby food out of the kitchen? - father doesn't like to know there's a baby in the house"!!!
When they arrived I was sat at the far side of the large room feeding the baby. Father stuck his head around the door and said "Hello Tiger" before disappearing upstairs. Then Mother came in, picked up the baby and kissed him saying "Ooh you're delicious". Then she said to me "Do you mind if I go upstairs? I've got such jet lag and (father) has terrible diarrhoea". Then she disappeared upstairs and that's the last I saw of them.

I think it's fair to say the nanny employing classes are much more comfortable with leaving their children for extended periods. Nanny hadn't had a day off for eight weeks.

It's interesting that both William and Harry had a similar childhood, but William has been determined to prioritise family life and hands on parenting for which I much admire him. Harry doesn't seem to have absorbed the message so much.

(Just to say, I don't admire William's parenting on the basis of being a hands on father, but for him choosing a different style of parenting and not being deflected from that goal by protocol etc)

ShamedBySiri · 14/04/2026 20:21

Do they have FOIs (or equivalent) in Australia? Perhaps one of our Australian posters could send an FOI to the hospital to enquire what risk assessments were done and whether parents were fully informed required to sign a consent to allow their children to be photographed.

That might be interesting.

They shouldn't need an advisor but they clearly do. As far as I can tell the current rules on privacy they want to enforce only apply to them and their children.

Mind you these are parents who thought it was appropriate to put an image of their baby in the bath in a widely seen documentary. Who knows what's normal to them.

If they didn't wang on about the evils of social media and the need for privacy I wouldn't even comment.

I know what you mean 😂😂 as I was counting the number of teeth Meghan had on show in her lower mouth yesterday and it was 12 so only 2 teeth on either side not showing 😂🤷‍♀️ yes it was a boring queue 😂

MrsLeonFarrell · 14/04/2026 17:02

That women's weekend sounds ghastly. Not because of Meghan, she is barely there, but it's the sort of thing I try to avoid entirely being the only woman I know who thinks spa weekends are the 7 th circles of hell.

Spa weekends - or even days- figure very high in my 'List of of holidays and breaks which must never be booked'.

If I remember correctly H&M have got in first and already dumped the childrens online safety charity ‘Parents Network’ that they made such a song and dance about launching. They told some disingenuous lies that offloading the PN was within their standard process of incubating charities and moving them on - which they had not done with any other charity before or since.

Oh is it? What a lovely family heirloom! If you're interested, Ebay is also pretty good for the unwanted trinkets of former monarchy. I bought a pair of Queen Victoria's pasties off there.

Pasties??? How saucy 😂😂
