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.

Those poor kids

They will have spent time getting to know their new schools, classmates and teachers and now have to go and do it all again

I don't think much of H and M but I hope they settle down and allow stability for the kids moving forwards.

This whole thing has been a farce. At the beginning they pre-announced their return back home and there were press reports of them landing. They could have been far more discrete about that and could have probably settled the kids into school without anyone really realising. Then posting pictures of their location etc. I don’t think they’re Machiavellian enough to have done this on purpose- I just think they attract drama and do some stupid stuff.

I do feel a bit sad for them because they could have genuinely disappeared off and lived lives quietly in the states or somewhere else but that wasn’t enough and they opened their mouths to court controversy, do the Netflix stuff etc. I think after a few years of them going to ground, they’d have been left alone. Some of this circus now is very much of their own making.

They really do seem to have an inflated sense of how much people care about them.

Someone on MN once posted funny excerpts from Spare and I remember one point Harry saying, when he was secretly dating Meghan, “I went to Waitrose - she stayed in the house of course because if people saw us together there’d have been literal riots” 🤣🤣🤣 DELUDED or what. Harry wouldn’t know a literal riot if got on a horse and played polo with him.

Ive always been a follower of the Royals and my mum even more so, but was Confused when he did the press release of “Enough is enough - the scrutiny is too much leave my girlfriend alone you vultures she can barely walk down the street”. Me and mum were like “He has a girlfriend? Didn’t realise”

This made me laugh! I think my next username will be IPredictALiteralRiot 😂

Christ they’re even becoming a parody of themselves.

I am not a fan of either but I do feel for them in this instance. She wanted more attention because everything they touched in the US went poorly and it appears they hastily made a decision to go back. They are not getting the reception that the expected in the UK, and that alone would make me fear for the safety of my children. They have bollixed everything and will have to figure out their next move.

I have no strong feelings on them either way, but how can this not be the reaction they expected? I’m not saying it’s the reaction they deserve, but surely no one is sitting around going “oh how weird, I thought it would be well received”.

Threads full of hate speech like this are exactly why they need to be worried about security. They are reviled in the press every single day. The Daily Mail articles didn't stop even when they were in the US. I hope they find peace as a family.

people not impressed with their planning skills and discussing the disruption in the children's lives is not hate speech nor is commenting on the obvious attention seeking.

I'm in a huge amount of pain, so less tolerant than usual.

The whole school thing, and publishing their itinerary/ whereabouts for all to see, are both designed to try to force the Royal Family/ the government to bow to their wishes on the security front. They are really not very bright, are they? It's never going to happen. Then they will flounce back to America (or preferably even further away than that) and milk the situation for all it's worth - more chat shows and another book, probably.

The thing that irks me most about these two is that they claim they want a quiet life away from the spotlight, but only seem content with 'careers' in the public eye, and suing people in a very public way. Normality is there for the taking - how do they think the rest of the rich and famous manage the school run? There are plenty of nice private schools on both sides of the Atlantic which would have served them well, and at which nobody would have batted an eyelid at some minor royals being enrolled. I bet Beatrice and Eugenie/ Louise and James just got taken to school by their parents.

I hope I never hear about these two again, but I'm not holding my breath.

Didn’t the Mayor of actually laugh at the suggestion a high speed car chase could happen in manhattan?

I think the poster who originally mentioned high speed was talking about Diana.

Being chased at high speed?? Says who.

DiPoW and her drunken chauffeur were chased at high speed in Paris, which (along with her decision not to wear a seatbelt) led to the death of Harry's mother. I don't think a school run with a sober driver is remotely the same.

Does the Mail play along or does it create the whole story by exaggerating and polarising opinion…
It seems like they are hounding them, trying to get a photograph or any minute detail and then mocking them for wanting security for their kids from paparazzi…

Im really not a H&M fan - rather the opposite. I genuinely don’t want to give them attention, and I don’t want them all over the papers and Instagram. But they are not being left alone/ ignored for a second.

Agree. If only no one reported on them, sought them out, commented on them or in anyway featured them in news on and offline, they would have the peace they crave. We would have a rest from the constant barrage. And perhaps, just perhaps, some truly relevant goings on in the world would make the news and spark more meaningful discussions of what really affects our daily life. Alas, daily mail still exists

I agree with all of this. Its all quite sad and embarrassing

For all their its us against the world routine, I don't think either of them will ever be truly secure, content and settled whilst they are constantly chasing the next public appearance and fame

The video over the weekend didn’t show their location,unless I missed something !

Does make you wonder are H & M doing this to try and force the decision regarding security provision? Hope not.

My first thought too.

Poor children. I can't imagine their life is going to become any less chaotic either.

I do hope they write a book when they're older of how they were pushed from pillar to post by their dotty parents in their pursuit of a royal life.

Yeah, you missed a distinctive bridge which the internet located in about seventeen seconds.

Yesterday's Susses PR was all about look at our cute loveable kids and today, oh no the school run security not adequate.

I'm afraid now that king Charles has reportedly has gotten involved in one of the Sussex PR stunts (Invictus Uganda), if he isn't seen to get publicly involved in this latest stunt and is seen to be helping them with their security, Charles will have lost the PR battle (war?).

Lol!
another one was when they were in a hotel and room service came to the door, Meghan answered he hid under the bed sheets and described himself as a “prince shaped lump” or something. Lest he be seen by hotel staff. Harry mate I can quite promise you nobody gives a fuck that you are in a hotel room. Far more controversial things will go in in hotels, and they don’t want to stick their neck in at the sex evidence of their guests.

I thought the poster who posted about a high speed chase meant there was a high speed chase during the school run. Where the traffic was probably moving at a snail's pace.

Dollymylove · Yesterday 21:58

Bloody hell 3 weeks in and it starts again.
Harry is (allegedly)still demanding an apology from the RF. For what, is unclear.
He totally trashed his family publicly, yet KC offered the hand of forgiveness. He should accept it.
I predict another "flounce" sometime soon 😉

ScruffMuffin · Yesterday 22:00

Yep, I think they'll fuck off abroad by the end of the week.

Because of the daily Heil Meghan and Harry are clicks and clicks are revenue

So why do they brief the DM then, if they don't want to be the subject of media clicks? Charlotte Griffiths (the one Harry tried to drug with a white pill) of the DM has revealed that they do, eg she was briefed about the meeting of the palace and Sussex PRs at the Royal Overseas Club. She was tipped off, enabling the DM to have a photographer present to snap the apparently private meeting. The DM was on the infamous WhatsApp group, and Richard Eden confirmed the Sussexes provided the DM and other press with operation notes and briefings for their UK visit. What do that if you want to be left alone?

Poor kids, I can't imagine theirs will be an easy childhood

From the and present behaviour of H&M, I do believe that moving their kids to a different school has more to do with their demand for paid for security.
It could very well be that the logistics of getting to the school have not been thought out well, but we know how demanding H has been regarding security; security that is, that has not been paid by him.
I believe this pair will use their kids as an excuse to get what they want and I'm sure their list is long and evolving, and that they will always be reaching for something that others have that they don't.

This thread is not 'full of hate speech''.

It is just people who have had enough of their constant circus, drama and need for attention.

I used to have a lot of sympathy for them at the beginning, but I have none left at this stage.

Harry and Meghan seem unable to understand and appreciate how privileged they are (wealth, health, two kids, a loving partner).

They had the chance to start a new life abroad away from the glare of the media, which they claim is what they wanted.

Instead they managed to mess it all up by seeking attention, engaging in some weird money-making enterprises and constantly criticising other members of the Royal Family. They alienated anyone who did business with them in the US with their behaviour as well.

At some point they really need to take responsibility for their poor choices.

Frankly so many people are struggling in their everyday lives and it is hard to empathise with two people who have so much and yet never seem to be able to live a happy life and create chaos wherever they go.

They are just an embarrassment at this stage.

Terfedout · Yesterday 22:02

DorsetTea · Yesterday 21:41

Because I was replying to someone who said Harry must be scared for his children’s safety. On that point their recent behaviour demonstrates that they clearly have little concern about their safety. I wasn’t addressing any other issues about them.

Yes. Agree. And my comment around the vitriol was not aimed at you BTW. Just the amount on these threads, of which there appear to be multiple!
