How many times...cautious putting pics online does not equal to don't put pictures of your kids online.

So when posters write he is a hypeocrtie because he says don't post kids pictures online then does ...well thays wrong he isnt being a hypocrite because he never said never post pictures.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

How many times. You sound insane and are making a fool of yourself.

Ok @LipglossAndLiesI’ll bite!! I’ve managed to ignore your posts for 25 threads. But can you explain to me please, how putting posting a photo on instagram of your very young daughter in a swimsuit is being “concerned and cautious”?

What do you think KC covered in his 15 minutes alone with Harry?

Is your marriage going to last?
What is your exact financial position?
WTF were you thinking criticizing my courts and my judges?

How dare you treat my hospitality like a PR game and try to bulldoze your way into BP with lies about me and my staff! We won't disappoint your children, but don't ever pull this type of stunt again.

I think there is a huge difference between Charles letting them carrying on with the faux tours and fully embracing them as semi-working royals. The evidence shows their popularity at best levelling out at the current low and he doesn't have to deal with the constant griping. Over time, the number of countries willing to subsidise these tours will surely dwindle as there doesn't seem to be any discernible benefit for underwriting the tours.

Theunamedcat · 25/07/2026 22:45

I think ive met the same posters on tiktok they are adamant William has posted the exact same photo of his children visiting Diana's grave i said i cant find evidence of that and I would find that to be wrong also ( plus I would find it creepy they are copying his brothers photos) they cant they tell me to "do my research" its from before Louis was born apparently but cant show me a photo to condem

I've literally nothing against the holiday photos but I think the ones going to the grave are tasteless she was relentlessly pursued in life for clicks doing the same after her death seems ghoulish to me

I imagine that's pretty accurate.

PullTheBricksDown · 25/07/2026 23:07

I've never seen photos of the Wales kids visiting Diana's grave and I don't believe such photos have ever been publicly shared @Theunamedcat . Some people can't accept any differences between the brothers though.

@SaltyTea maybe so. Can't imagine the Aussies would rush to invite them back after the last time. They'll run out of hosts

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 25/07/2026 22:09

Oh dear. It's probably a better tactic for you not to get embroiled in this. I mean, their position is actually indefensible and totally hypocritical, and if they/you think it isn't, it doesn't actually matter because general public perception is that they are absolute and total hypocrites who not only spout utter tosh but also exploit people who have lost their children due to online stuff. Better to shut up about it, I would think.

Obvious I would think! 🤔

H "" But from what I’ve seen, what I’ve heard, what I’ve experienced, is you should be really really worried, concerned and cautious about putting photographs of your kids online."

They ( HAM) don't seem that worried to me. You don't need to see a child's face to be able to recognise them in context. & that's why I think accusations of hypocrisy are not wide of the mark. Those children IMHO are overexposed for what seems like no real reason. & I leave to one side eg the describing their still nascent personalities on the internet to sell candles. Let your children be FFS H&M , and you might be taken more seriously.

No lizard @BasiliskStare!! I’m disappointed !😞

Justdancevance · 26/07/2026 00:51

They’re also not worried about showing other children’s faces to promote the Sussex brand.

@PullTheBricksDown is aussies didn't want them. Except for a few dumb instagram posers ... or anyone stupid enough to pay them to come. I personally am not watching Australian MasterChef this season because of M s infiltration into it 🙁

Interesting that the 'source' is hinting that Harry is no longer madly in love with Meghan and the scales are falling from his eyes. They do look happy in the dinner photo though , even if it is rather artfully staged.

I find that article a bit over blown. Charles asked that the meeting with him remain private, not their whole visit. Whilst I personally wouldn't have posted the photo of them apparently on their way to lay flowers at Diana's grave, I don't think that has anything to do with what Charles requested.

Influencers post photos of their children for clicks, celebrities these days tend not to. The Heir posts carefully chosen photos of their children to mark occasions, other minor royals tend not to post photos of their children online, except for birthdays in the case of the York sisters.

Once again Harry and Meghan are falling between two stools. I know I keep banging this drum but they need to pick a lane, it's the only way to find any success or funding. At the moment Meghan doesn't post enough personal stuff to be a successful influencer but really posts too much to be a successful celebrity campaigner on the dangers of social media.

I believe W&K have an unwritten agreement with the media that they will provide their own pictures of the children at specific times in exchange for them being left alone. It seems to be working.

I think the problem is they are on different pages and always have been really. He genuinely wants to be back in the fold. Seeing all his family and living in the UK. I don't think he wants to be a working Royal again but recognises the need to be 'useful' to them in some way in order to get security and housing.

She hates the UK and hates his family, with the exception possibly of Eugenie. There's no way she wants to be a working Royal. On the other hand she can't make enough money from her lame ventures to afford the luxury lifestyle she wants . She also can't function as a person without a lot of attention and adulation . She needs to keep the instagram stuff going to feed her ego and convince herself she is important. I don't think he cares a jot about public attention but needs to stay in the public eye so they have a chance of generating money somehow.

I do wonder if he even looks at what she posts on Instagram.
