Breaking news in the Daily Mail. Duke and Duchess of Sussex's children 'removed from school after two days' mol.im/a/16130877 via https://dailym.ai/android

I do wonder if there is actually any school that will be able to meet their expectations in regard to security. I'm interested to see how it all plays out.

Get your facts right before posting. Honestly. The Megan bashing does really smack of racism to me. Or envy. And at least read the article properly in that ‘newspaper’

It wasn’t that the school didn’t meet their expectations it’s that with the heavier traffic the security detail couldn’t keep the cars together leaving them vulnerable. It was a decision made based on their security’s advice.

It’s not racism to criticise the behaviour of people, particularly as last time I checked Harry is white.

you might also want to consider that many of the posters here critical of the Sussex’s aren’t white either.

using racism to try and attack posters and shut down other’s opinions, no longer works, has been done to death and is the defence of someone who has no other credible argument to support them with.

Thank you @aCatCalledFawkes , so many people know the great difficulties in getting to and from, but just not the security who one would assume would at least familiarise themselves with that.

I am sure they did . this has ham set up for security funding written all over it. Happy to put their security team in the shit for their own gain. Yawn.

So supposedly their line of cars got cut into and separated the cars causing the supposed security risk 😏🙄 It's the school run , there will be lots of cars on the road parents all wanting to get their own kids safely to school. A convoy of cars makes this difficult for every other parent. Just put them in one car, it s a school run not a spectacle. Harry and Meghan assume their kids are more important than every other kids 😡 well they are not, every kids deserves to get to school safely without the convoy circus parade.

As an aside, I once saw one of the billionaire Ecclestone sisters out with their family, they had a gaggle of Nannie’s with them, pushing empty pushchair, holding coats and bags and scooters, and they had several very obvious bodyguards with them. Out of curiosity I looked at her Instagram, and there was a video of one of the kids having a horse riding lesson with a bodyguard running behind her. Now, in their case their fathers mother in law, had in fact been kidnapped in Brazil and they themselves had a mega heist and breach of security on their London home and Bernie has pissed off a lot of people with his love for Putin.

Having a team of unarmed security in the UK is not the risk Harry is trying to make it out to be.

Absolutely, it's a terrible thing to accuse people of with absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

How many cars are needed to transport two primary age children to school? Surely one - a parent, two kids and possibly a security officers at the most.

I was sitting on a seat, in Cambridge, when Prince Edward walked by, presumably from a meeting/to the train. He was on foot, on the streets, no obvious security at all, maybe one guy beside him?

What a huge fuss this is for very little reason.

What is racist ??

Nothing, it's just an empty insult.

MurphysColeslaw · Today 16:44

I remember seeing Edward and Sophie with their kids many years ago at Lapland in Kent, they only had 2 bodyguards.
And I only noticed because one of them was bloody gorgeous.
They were very low key and nobody gave a toss.

OK, I challenge you to link anything said on here to racism. Go on - you made the accusation, you back it up or apologise. (Bet you don't...)

Envy? Can you also explain what it might be about Meghan that we might envy? Her husband? Her business acumen? You've lost me there.

CoffeeCantata · Today 16:50

(That was to DaftBerk, but I don't expect a response. These people never do reply when challenged, which tells you all you need to know!)

I suspect the poster is a member of a tag team 😆

Nichebitch · Today 16:51

People here are being absolutely ridiculous. The location and the physical setting of the school is very tricky to manage, and it’s not something they would necessarily have realised before experiencing it.

AnswerIsNo · Today 16:51

I am glad to say I have never started a sentence with 'breaking wind news in the Daily Mail"

However, as a non-royalist, the mouth-foaming over these two baffles me 😁

Guess we all need something to get angry about until the next Big Brother, Love Island or pronouncement of drivel spewed by Remain

DaftBerkCanGoFHimself · Today 16:53

KilkennyCats · Today 16:21

Seriously? Racism or envy? Because those two things are so alike.
Behave yourself 🙄

Why else is she so vilified? It’s ridiculous. It’s fine to not like her but why do so many people go on and on about it? The Daily Fail seems utterly obsessed. It’s really fucking bizarre.

MurphysColeslaw · Today 16:54

Some of it is quite hilarious.
They’re paranoid about security but after one day at a new school they are part of a WhatsApp group 😂

Yes, and their choice of name certainly supports the theory of Nominative Determinism, doesn't it!

They really are so pathetic now. But their idols have disappointed them, and it's hard to bear - I get that. 😂😂

I am trying to make sense of the amount of time and effort people (spurred on by the Daily Fail) put into finding fault with her. And of course I don’t have ‘evidence’ because what I’m saying is an hypothesis about the motivation behind such odd behaviour. Not fact. Which is why I used the term ‘smacks of’ rather than the word ‘is’.

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much!

I feel quite nostalgic.
It's a real old school post.
Ages since "racism" was randomly tossed around (I used to think there was a target for the number of times it was used).
And how long since we heard "bashing"?
Aww...

Dexternight · Today 16:58

Is there not a local village school they could walk to?
1 hour journey to and from school is too much for little ones.
Or maybe homeschool.

Oh really - are you honestly asking for another list of reasons why M and H are 'vilified', or criticised, or mocked, as would be more accurate?

I've typed out at least 3 lists on this thread alone. If you don't get it after reading those, come back and I'll explain further.

If security and logistics are of paramount importance to you, then you contact the school before your children are due to start and you ask about traffic/access etc
You don’t just ‘wing it’ on the day.

So you were sitting on the train, when Prince Edward walked by, with absolutely no security detail, apart from the one person nearby, that clearly stood out as security??

Epic troll / self-contradiction - I will allow you to choose the mode of self-glory

I suppose the key difference between the aforementioned and the two kids is self-evident.. he's a farking adult and does not need ferrying to and fro, but perhaps needs protecting from some Daily Fail mouth-foamer 😄

Well, maybe they should have put some thought into the move, especially when their children's security is supposedly at stake. Neither of them work and they had plenty of time and resources to arrange the move.

Did they really not think though the logistics of driving through the English countryside at rush hour, complete with 'convoy'? A lot of random people here could have warned them, but they, with all their resources, had no clue?
