I know, it was carnage. I think MNHQ got spooked and they just started banning perfectly innocent posters. Some of the things I see posted now are far worse in terms of criticism of H&M.

At my age @jeffgoldblum I have to space out my excitement 😂 Actually I reckon could guess the gist of that one. 🐖

IMHO, H is not the only problem here. I do not think anyone expected H to keep quiet about his trip. H has been consistent in dining out on his dead mother so will continue to do so. H tantrums until "King Pa" gives in and so will continue to do do. Uncle Earl Spencer always looks to give his ex-BIL a dig or two so it is unsurprising that Althorp photo-op happened.

IMHO, the bigger problem is the cohort of enablers who know better but still choose to indulge H for their own selfish purposes as opposed to holding H to account, thereby preventing H from harming other people.

King Pa. Uncle Earl Spencer. Lord Allen (Invictus Chairman). JJ Chalmers. CG-Strings (years of positive media coverage for a person who pops unknown substances a woman's mouth?).

I have full respect for Sophie Chandauka who told H no and stood up to H's huffing and puffing as well as the vitriol from the awful Squaddies. More backbone than the enablers put together!

Without doubt! , but quite a few of the poc posters were called liars when they came out ! , I received many pms from these posters absolutely distraught and dumbfounded why it was allowed , many of them are no longer here! , what can I say really 🤷‍♀️

You would think @BasiliskStare!! But I’m not afraid to admit…I wasn’t prepared for the reality that was unfolded! 😬

When I watched the Sky News interview with Dr. Sophie, I completely believed her and thought she was one of the bravest people that I had ever seen.

And yet many chose to try and discredit her on here !

It will be interesting to see what happens once William is King. Scorched earth or just ignore them? Can’t make my mind up.

I suspect that might at the moment be a "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it " matter for W. I doubt he's thinking that far ahead regarding H.

Call me overly optimistic or even a pervayer of doom ! , I don’t think we will have to wait for William to be king, the speed at which ham are currently acting at means sooner rather than later , some action is going to occur that can not simply be ignored or waved aside 🤷‍♀️

It would be a relief in many ways for many. Strip the plaster off quickly.

Yes …the entertainment factor is becoming hard to find isn’t it!!

If Harry called the police or had someone else do it and there was clearly no need, isn’t that wasting police time? Genuine question as the few times I’ve had to call then I’ve had to give very full details about the situation.

I'm pretty sure the pool photo has been digitally altered.

What are the chances of throwing a child into the air, that you managed to catch her, mid flip, to photograph her in perfect clarity and sharpness while simultaneously her arm just happens to fall perfectly to obscure her face?

Also the "splash" has been digitally enhanced in the same way as the iconic "raindrop" photo

IMHO, W has the long-term view of the monarchy so anyone looking for dramatic action is likely to be disappointed.

W went through the trauma of both his wife and father being diagnosed with cancer and faced a worst-case scenario of potential accession to the throne as a widower. H only knows his brother from before-cancer and IMHO, that W is not that same person...I think W has been forged by intense pressure into someone far steelier.

Moreover, HaM's own reckless behavior is doing most of the heavy lifting in vanquishing themselves, so W may have less to do especially if more women come out with stories similar to CG-String and Sentebale/other charity issues rise to the surface. (I stand by my comment that Invictus finances have more than enough red flags to outfit communist party plenary session). In Hollywood HaM have alienated so many people and lost investors so much money that HaM may face a reckoning there (see negative Vanity Fair articles and Oprah's shot across the bow about footage on cutting room floor). HaM may be canceled before W becomes King.

Finally, time will erase HaM. Even H stated he had a small window of opportunity before his then baby nephew George took all the media oxygen. G, C and L entering into adulthood will drive the older generation off the front pages & social media just as W and H entering adulthood drove the previous generation off the front pages.

Alas. KC seems reluctant to do so. H annihilated his wife , son, daughter in law in various interviews/book. If he wasn't going to strip them then, he never will

I have not looked for quotes and will not do so.

The spirit of what Harry said is quite obvious.

What is your own feeling about celebrities posting photos of their children on social media for their followers?

I would say a very good camera such as a photographer would use where they can capture a large amount of pics in the blink of an eye so to speak. OK not the actual blink of an eye but that’s all I can think of right now.

ETA because I was curious. It would seem it doesn’t even have to be a very good camera such

It depends on the camera. Here are some typical ranges:
Smartphones: Usually 5–30 photos per second (fps) in burst mode, depending on the model and settings.
Entry-level DSLR or mirrorless cameras: Around 3–8 fps.
Enthusiast/professional cameras: Typically 10–30 fps with continuous autofocus.
High-speed specialty cameras: Can capture hundreds, thousands, or even millions of frames per second, though these are used for scientific or industrial purposes rather than regular photography.

Poor lass must have been flipped umpteen times to be sure of getting a photo the adults would be happy with. Play turned into work. Let's hope she enjoyed it all and it tired Harry out (too exhausted for more court cases)

With the face obscured?

Why do we never see Meghan playing with her children? She's always observing them or they are props for her own activities.

Yes. I think there are cameras that could capture the image. But you have made a good point about the wee ones face being covered.

I agree. I'm not one who thinks all their photos are 'enhanced' but this one clearly is. I think that's why it's in black and white.

As you say, what are the chances that Lili would be 'flipped' at a perfect angle to obscure her entire face? With (presumably) Archie also visible but with his face turned away? The angle is also strange. She's to Harry's side, not in front of him which is what you'd expect if she was being thrown like that.

So definitely the photo has been altered imo. Whether it's just a few details or the entire thing is a 'composite', I'm not so sure.
