The Sussexes & Hypocrisy

I must have missed ‘them ‘telling us how to behave.
Can you tell me where to source this please

I read The Daily Mail and funnily enough I am still able to like Prince Harry and Meghan. I think this is because I have a mind of my own and can make my own conclusions about things. And I think they are doing ok!!

Hypocrisy for me is demi-god David Attenborough earning his substantial living by jetting around the world in polluting aeroplanes and lecturing everyone on climate change etc. .......hmmmmm

I don’t read The Daily Mail, I too have a mind of my own ,
as a celebrity couple they are proving successful, as members of the royal family ? No

Interesting about David Attenborough. I admire him and love his work.

However, I remember at the end of the 80's we were flying back from Kenya and had specifically booked a non stop flight with B.A.

The captain announced we would be making an unscheduled stop in Cyprus to pick up David Attenborough and presumably, his film crew. We didn't see them they went straight into first class.

This stop must have cost the airline a fair bit plus they had quite a few angry passengers on their hands who had paid a premium price for a non stop flight. We complained to BA and received, I seem to remember, £150. Quite a lot in those days. Presumably others received the same.

Stick that on a banana love it

Well Meghan's clearly showing the establishment that she's her own person by having her own medical team when she gives birth. That'll cause more long faces I suspect as its been a given over the years that the Queen's team of medics etc perform these procedures.

Better start as you mean to carry on I suppose and looking back over the years at progression in the royal households it would now appear that they're becoming ordinary families but with rather more dosh.

The Queen's medical team are supposedly the best in the world, and they stepped in when Sophie Wessex had a terrible labour and haemorrhaging giving birth to her daughter.

I suspect that although Meghan is bolshy about doing anything that is expected of her, the medics she has rejected will be on standby, because can you imagine if the worst happened and she lost the baby, bled to death herself, or the baby was damaged in some way. Obviously I wouldn't wish it on anybody, but these things happen and she is an older first-time mother who may be putting her baby or herself at risk just to make a point.

I think she is possibly what my mother would have called "cussed" (annoyingly obstinate). (ducks below parapet)

Sparkle there’s a bit more to SW’s story than that -she went to Frimley Park as an emergency a month early and whilst the queens obs got there in time, the actual operation and all subsequent baby and mother care was carried out by NHS staff. SW was so impressed by the care she received she went back there for her next baby.

Sorry- baby was taken to a London hospital for special care but SW stayed at FP as she was so dreadfully ill and neatly died.

Megan is her own person when she wants to be and a Windsor when she wants to be , hypocritical

, ‘ I am not like the royals, I do things my way, l live in their property, I have their security , their money, their title but I am my own person’

See I think all the younger Royals would benefit from watching queenie.

Keep it zipped. Keep a low profile and accept you are their by birth not intellect or superior knowledge.

When she flew out of the country during her pregnancy she didn’t have her own medical attendant, she used queenie’s

I think she'd better come off that high-horse of hers, well drop a notch or two or she's going to cause ructions somewhere along the line. Blimey does she like attention !

Just reading about another prospective wedding in the year between Princess Beatrice and her billionaire-----koff ! A joke there somewhere courtesy " Mrs Merton ( the late )".

Victoria Beckham is overseeing the décor at Frogmore and Brooklyn is joining David Attenborough with a filming job.

It's all happening. Can't be bad.

Poor Harry ..... not the sharpest knife in the box ...... she has him hook, line and sinker! It may turn out ok IF she really loves him and has his interests at heart. Let’s hope he is this generations Princess Margaret. Only time will tell.

Reading about Meghan wanting social equality ..... therefore she might opt to be like the people and give birth in an NHS hospital ........ doesn’t quite marry up with her £500k plus maternity wardrobe! You have to laugh!

maryeliza54 I know the full story of Sophie Wessex's bad labour actually, although I didn't elaborate in my post. The garden of a house I lived in during the 1980s backed on to the grounds of Frimley Park Hospital. I had my son there in 1977.

The Wessexes live not far away at Bagshot so it would make sense for her to give birth there, either as an NHS patient or privately.

I know what she went to FP - I was responding to your comment about it being the Q’s doctors which I thought short changed the role of the NHS

Why not what - I’m relatively local and know the hospital

Oh, I see.

Frimley Park was a wonderful hospital back then. I moved away so have no idea these days.

Well whatever happens re the birth I do hope she breast-feeds and can do it with some style. New mums need breastfeeding role models if we are ever to increase the rates here in the U.K.
Our breastfeeding rates for 5/6 month olds are apparently the lowest in the western world which, when we know the benefits is particularly grim.

I don't think the apparent dislike of Meghan is much to do with racism but more to do with different cultures. In the UK we are self deprecating, with an ironic sense of humour. We expect people to come in quietly (like Kate) and slowly work themselves into a more prominent position.

Meghan has come in with all guns blazing, with the 'can do' attitude that is American. For a lot of people that grates.

I've read she is also refusing to pose with the baby when she leaves hospital as it offends her feminist principles.

Is that another way of saying, 'I'm not getting all dolled up for you lot when my doofer feels like I've just passed a rhinoceros sideways?'

NotSpaghetti. How will the world knows if she breasts feeds? Not filmed for tv I hope.
