The Sussexes & Hypocrisy

Perhaps not ‘idiots’

Bridgeit you don’t live in this country ? People camp on pavements outside the hospital.

Citizens not subjects

We mustn't underestimate the people who camp out for nights on end, draped in flags and wearing Union Jack hats.

Meghan should watch a few episodes of Dad's Army whilst keeping an eye on any tree that seems to be moving.

Headlines tomorrow ‘ Megan will not parade baby’

Slap on the wrist for Kate

Prince Harry has lived all of his life in the glare of publicity . in large part engendered by his tragically silly mother's pursuit of it.

His wife, I think, just Desperately Desires to be Different.

Some people are actually mildly interested in the forthcoming birth, as in: the child has been safely delivered; its sex, weight, name and a picture of a snub nose wrapped in a blanket. Then we get on with our lives and forget all about it.
I do hope there isn't going to be an Hello magazine style picture spread of the newborn baby, 'after a period of recovery.'

Of course there will be a full public unveiling eazybee ( but not before the Clooneys have visited ) they are “celebrities” after all.

I can imagine Hello and OK bidding for the exclusive pictures. “And here we have the Clooneys delivering a giant Teddy Bear , here’s Oprah with balloons, the Beckhams with a replica Ferrari ....”

A pixelated face on the Buck House balcony?

Gilly. ?

Good job this is Gn, if younger people were reading this I think they would be ashamed of the bitchy comments being posted by some of us oldies .( definitely old enough to know better )
Perhaps you should just stop watching & reading about them.

Ohh, don’t forget we are Grannies, I cannot imagine that none of us has looked at our own kids & thought hmm I don’t think I would have worn that, behaved in that manner etc etc. Each generation is different. Did we learn nothing from the Diana days ?

Kate and William get it right. Meghan and Harry don't.

Right wrong or just different

Yes we did learn from ‘the Diana Days’ don’t use the press ,
don’t try to set up your own court’ don’t do the celeb circuit,
don’t think you are more important than the monarch ,

What seems to be forgotten is this couple are employed , if they want to do their own thing then opt out of the job

My elder granddaughter works for a law firm, if she turned up for work in shorts and a boob tube she would be out the door.

It said on the news today that the notice will still be posted at Buckingham Palace.

I can totally understand why The Duchess of Sussex does not want to be photographed with her newborn hours after the birth..........I certainly wouldn't like it, would any of you?

I also totally understand why they are not publicising where she is giving birth, who on here would like to be in labour knowing the worlds press were camped outside along with "hoards of strangers wrapped in The Union Flag"?

This child is only seventh in line to the throne, so realistically they will never be King/Queen.

Both the Princes saw what happened to their Mother.

The Duchess of Cambridge probably had no choice in where she gave birth as her first born will be King one day.

I sincerely hope that neither the Duke or Duchess ever get to see this thread, as it is not very nice!!!

The more I read about this woman's demands the more infuriated with her I become.

She has chosen to marry into the British royal family which of course means that she cannot call the shots as regards total privacy.

Surely she understands that by now?

People wrapped in the Union Flag, they don’t have a problem with flag waving people at other times,

His mother was photographed leaving the hospital as was his sister in law, the press and crowds don’t invade the labour ward

Thinking of them , Diana and Kate had tummies ! Perhaps Megan wants her figure back before appearing in public, she certaintly isn’t camera shy, enjoyed walking down the aisle on her own

She is going to be criticised, no matter what she does.
Still ,magazines , photographers etc will make money out of it , so its not all bad ?

Unless of course nobody buys them,
Perhaps someone will start a boycott?!

Ohh , but if no photos, what will people criticise Ohhps sorry I mean look at .

I got the impression with William and Kate, they got the photo shoot out of the way quickly and then got on with their lives ( as best they can under such scrutiny)
Kate probably didn't want to be standing about ,hours after giving birth but they dug deep and got it over with.

It's called 'duty' isn't it? Being married to a royal means not always doing exactly as she would wish - something it appears Madam Meghan needs to learn.

She should follow the Queen's example regarding duty.

or we could just give them all their marching orders ...they could move the medieval spectacle that is monarchy somewhere else !!

They have their own homes in Norfolk and Scotland so have no need to travel far.

I can't think of a more thankless task than being Baby Sussex's nanny.

I know Norland nannies are trained in martial arts these days but are they allowed to use it on the mother?
