Can we allow Harry and Meghan a clean sheet

[Noras]

Just that really.

When they come back should we just judge them by their future behaviour, not the past and try to be positive.

After the events of the last few days with Jason Arday it might help the RF if the media and social media allowed them to get on with things in a positive way. Frankly the only person who should be aggrieved is the Princess of Wales and maybe the King but he clearly want peace now what with his illness.

Let’s see if they can be positive and an asset to the UK and the RF.

If they stop acting as public figures and just quietly go about their lives then people and the press will lose interest but I think we know they would both be devastated if the media and public were no longer interested in them so they will both continue to court attention while pretending to want privacy.

Sussex’s and star power are not words I would put together. Hilarious 😆

They are the King and Queen of clickbait and rage bait.

Wasn’t ‘Avocado Gate’ part of the reaction to being hypocritical about air travel/air miles affecting climate change whilst living a private-Jet lifestyle?
If you take to the stand, preaching to the peasants that overseas travel should be limited, don’t do the opposite yourself.
People got upset, funny that.

I think there must have been a compelling reason for them to come back here TBH. I think if they do want a quiet life in the Cotswolds ,as reported then all well and good .However if they decide to court the press as before things may kick off ,will have to wait and see I guess

Yes, I do think it was unforgivable what they did to the late Queen Elizabeth. They even stole her pet name making the Queen distressed.

I feel the same @GreenCandleWax & given their ages, H&M would have known full well that they were in the very last season of their lives & yet that made no difference.

I suppose people would also be upset with Charles championing the environment but having the private-jet lifestyle too. Or William championing homelessness whilst living a huge mansion preaching how he wants to end it.

Yes, we get those comments a lot on here as well.

Except William is actually spending his own money to build housing, and reconfiguring his portfolio to do so.

Our president, Jimmy Carter, was mocked when he started working Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalind Carter went on to have an enormous impact.

William has only had a year or so of building. Give him time and he may surprise you. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Exactly millions watched their wedding as a joyous occasion.

Good points

So many haters from mumsnet. So sad
😞

So many haters not just Mumsnet. Prove us wrong 😑

Where? can you link as I haven’t seen any hate. Or are you just using ‘hate’ are a somewhat hyperbolic synonym for ‘critical’?

There is a difference between being ‘ critical’ and being openly hostile
Criticism is about questioning a decision or raising legitimate concern
It doesn’t require endless negativity , personal attacks or rooting for someone to fail .
Calling this criticism doesn’t magically make the tone less hateful
One can disagree with the Sussexes’ choices without turning their return into something to be angry about.

”Haters?”
What are you, 12?

So you are tone policing now?

no, being constantly negative is nowhere near the same as ‘hate’. You can dislike everything about what someone is doing that still doesn’t make it hate. Calling people angry is also hyperbole.

Harry could re-enlist. He’s still young enough. That would be quite a stroke.

It's so predictable, isn't it? It's like some people think the Sussexes should not be criticised.

Have you forgotten the ridicule?

I don’t remember the ridicule but I do remember a beautiful wedding that the majority of people I know enjoyed.

No but I do remember them lying and saying they actually got married a few days earlier.

Such a positive response, wasn't there?
I remember what a lovely, happy day it was. The crowds turned out to cheer them! A really lovely occasion

What ridicule ?
