This is the sort of stuff I’m about..,why is Meghan being vilified for this?

It’s just bonkers.

I have no idea. I am not a fan of H and M but some of this thread is actually insane

Because it’s bloody obvious???

I thought you had poor mental health ?
or are you using that as a shield to be rude and attack others while hoping you won’t receive the same treatment and can cry about hateful bullies!

I appreciate your kind and measured response to me, thank you. 🌺

I do think he has suffered a lot of trauma and that family is absolutely toxic.

I don't think the Royal family is inherently toxic. I do believe you have to be a certain type of person to manage living either a public life or a very wealthy life. It takes maturity and humility to cope with the wealth and privilege without falling into arrogance or entitlement. Every wealthy or famous family has individuals that do this well and those who struggle. I'm sure we can all think of examples of both.

Quite, it was a reasonable question! No matter...

You are aware she was critical of your post yes?

What parts are "actually insane" (sic)?

Thank you for the voice of sanity.

I am by no means a fan of any Royals either, but I hate people being piled on.

Have a pleasant evening all.

Well, the comment I originally replied to for starters where somebody is dragging her for showing her face in a photo of her friend's kid.

But you don’t mind calling them toxic without any argument to back this up?

That's because she hides her children's faces but uses others.

So why call the RF "toxic" with no evidence? Why get angry with me when I just asked a polite question?
In what ways are the RF toxic?

newberry · Yesterday 15:45

Multibarpack · Yesterday 15:41

It's not hypocritical. H and M don't want their kids' faces shown, which is their right. Her friend doesn't mind her son's face shown, which is her right. Neither one has anything to do with the other. It's the personal choice of each set of parents.

BigWillyLittleTodger · Yesterday 15:46

GunnelVallquist · Yesterday 15:27

I don’t know either of them well enough (or at all) to pass comment.

But now I’m getting drawn in again when I said I wouldn’t.

You don’t know any of the royal family but call them toxic, but can’t pass comment on H&M because you don’t know them? hmmmm 🤔

newberry · Yesterday 15:47

twosmallaxolotls · Yesterday 15:42

It's up to the boy's parents whether his face is down, not M. It was the boy's mother who shared the photo.

They also preach that no parents should put their children on social media.

Interesting use of the term "sanity". People have a right to have an opinion. It doesn't mean that they're "insane" because you disagree with them.
I hate this use of "insane" and "sanity".
People have differing opinions.

What did he do that deserves that much vitriol?

Especially when you think what he went through as a child.

I just don’t get the hate.

I’m sorry, as I said, I’m not British, so maybe I don’t understand.

But especially considering he served in the Military (and you could argue he’s the only one deserving of his medals).

What do you mean that Harry's the only one deserving of his medals? Harry had a pretty undistinguished Army career - in 10 years he only made captain and scoring low marks on the entry tests meant he was pretty much slow-tracked and not considered a good candidate for leadership.

Arguably the most heroic was AMW who served in the royal navy for 22 years and flew helicopters during the Falklands war - acting as a decoy to lure away Exocet missiles away from ships and towards his helicopter and rescued casualties from ships while under fire.

William served for 7 years in all three branches of the military and flew in dangerous conditions as an RAF search and rescue pilot. William, while on secondment to the Navy, was part of a helicopter crew that chased down drug runners in speedboats and seized 900kg of cocaine.

Charles also served in the navy for 5 years. He qualified as a helicopter pilot and for almost a year commanded a minesweeper.

Amazing how for every single thing that's not gone well in his entire life, someone else is invariably to blame. Never, ever Harry. For people who've read Spare, is it all like this? Does he ever take responsibility for anything?

No.

His stupid book may as well have been called Blame.

The closest he ever gets to taking an iota of responsibility is indicating that he nearly let his wife down in some way by not delivering the earth and its riches to her, but he soon moves on to writing the draft scripts of Blame Hard and Blame Another Day.

It isn’t “bloody obvious.” You are saying that we are making suppositions when you yourself are making suppositions. This wouldn’t stand up in court, Harry, so don’t pursue the case. Oh, you did.

Wise, nuanced words Mrs LF. Now that IS the voice of sanity.

Pop off and do some research.

That’s if you are being genuine, which I rather doubt.

I was just thinking it must be time for the usual #bekind nonsense intervention to explain the error of our ways and here you are.

twosmallaxolotls · Yesterday 15:55

Yes, #bekind, but call people insane.
Nice.

It was reported back in the 1980s that Diana's favourite boy's name that she wanted to use was "Oliver" (quite trendy at the time).

It had to be explained to her why that was a HUGE NO from the royal family.

Oh my god really???? 😂🙈
