This was at an event this week. But the photo just made me gasp. It looks like the elderly woman is being used as a prop, rather than being treated in a dignified way.

I am glad this thread has been allowed to stand. It does reveal how far some people are prepared to go to vilify William and Kate with manipulated imagery, and how far they will defend the indefensible with Harry and Meghan, which I suspected, but is confirmed.
Solidarity with the people on Bondi Beach today 🙏🏼

Adding solidarity.

I think some people get how serious some issues are and others just don't - never mind the tragic context, HAM must not be criticised, it seems.

Strange priorities.

Hi all,
Just a reminder that we are a discussion site so we welcome discussion and varying opinion, a hive mind would become very tedious very quickly. Please knock off the personal attacks - play the ball, not the woman.

The hive mind SHOULD be that something like this is horrible. I've seen threads on the RF Board in the past where people have been attacked and deleted for non contentious comments regarding customs or social patterns of black people. It seems to me that certain groups seem to be more worthy of defence on MN than others and that is not a nice thing. The very fact that you allow this thread to stand says that certain things are OK. Personally I am pleased that it stands if only to show the extremes some people will go to attack the Royal Family.
