H&M are currently doing a ‘Royal’ walkabout thing in Nottingham.

[SpottyAlpaca]

A crowd has turned out to see them. It’s currently being covered live on Sky News. Why on earth would anyone do this?

They aren’t working royals. They are just a pair of chancers who have scuttled back to Britain with their tails between their legs because they have died on their arses in the US. And now people are tugging their forelocks to them here.

People really are absolute fucking morons.

I don’t really see the point of it tbh but maybe they don’t know what else to do?

I think that only applies to N.Ireland, it's the same with the PM.

I read this here and googled videos. There are lots of people there. I mean I wouldn't go, but it's best not to lie.

I think she didn’t think Nottingham worthy of the HIAO.

I think down under got that honour? 😉

Perhaps Nottingham didn’t dig deep enough in their pockets. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@OliveMyLoveI meant it’s weird people are claiming not understand what Justine said.

No lots of royal visits are not on the court circular these days.

😱

Interesting. Because on MN certain posters always say they don't advertise what they are doing in advance.
Unless it's the obvious ones.

I think it’s weird people who are also trying to use it to attack others. Weird in multiple ways. Did they sign off work?

And some misogyny thrown in towards Meghan as well. Always happens here.

Where? If you see misogyny, please report it.
There have been deletions on here already, so they'll no doubt delete those.

I don't know, ask them

No weirder than turning up to wave for any of them, IMHO. But I think the concept of a “working royal” is an oxymoron, so what do I know!

Daily Telegraph doesn't let me down on reporting this story, currently 3514 comments, mainly negative.

I hate this photo. Why should anyone want to kiss anyone else's hand like that?!! Does the older lady see Meghan as some sort of superior being?! I would absolutely hate for anyone to bow and scrape to me...we are all equal.

That doesn't surprise me. Because those who are so worked up about the couple seem to spend hours and hours writing negatively about them.

I have seen a lot of positive comments but not on DT as I don't go on there

By the expression on Meghan’s face, I think she found it sweet.

I thought she was a hugger. Not a person who likes the kiss my ring displays of adoration/worship.

I agree. But we don't get comments here if an elderly person kisses the king or queens hand.

That’s a shock for the Telegraph!

I think it’s strange but some do definitely see Royals as a different species 🤷🏻‍♀️

Attack?! 😆

No idea what the sign off work bit means

I agree. I thought she came across really warm and natural. People were obviously thrilled to see her and Harry.

I've never seen that happen. Have you got a link?

@MadeInGrimsby not an elderly person but here's one example:

No picture, but an elderly woman (86) describes that she kissed the King's hand:
