Empathy for Our Queen? ( As a Mother)

Ah, got it now. Thought it was about memes.

A meme pair are a couple who visit deprived people in S.A.
But complain about their own problems, ‘no one asked if I was ok ‘ etc

Now the press are making some issue about "no one in the royal family is texting them or checking on them". Well they're adults, in mid life, with enough money for their needs and more. They are capable of finding their own help and support systems. In case they hadn't noticed, other members of the family are going through somewhat worse problems, and worse bad press right now than Meghan's been complaining of. The DofE's health has taken a downturn, the Queen is finding it hard to get away and be with him. Andrew has pretty much had the rug pulled out from under his life and his daughters through no fault of their own face a new path in life. Fergie is going to be bankrupt again. Kate's got sick kids (hopefully just a touch of noro) . Anyway how about the Sussexes reaching out to some of them? That might be a good way to get back into the fold.

I think you can see poverty and also feel sad about your own stuff. That's one of the greatest ironies. If only we could look to people " worse off than ourselves " and snap out of it.

Here we go here we go here we

B and E facing a new path in life through no fault of their own? Well up to now they’ve faced an entitled over privileged path in life through no effort of their own.

True, Suzie, but my point is that they're still going to have negative feelings about it and some degree of stress. This could be an opportunity for Harry to contact his cousins and offer some empathy. It might be a start to getting close to the family again.

We don’t know who’s contacting who though do we? We know there’s spin, PR, MegHan hatred, those on GN who post as though they have a hotline to BP but we know for sure that PA is a bloody disgrace

Prince Andrew has been photographed out riding with the Queen today. She must have known they would be photographed so I think we can take that as a show of support for him.

Suzie we don't know for sure I agree; you can assume that most of what any of us say about the royals is only second hand via journalists. Otherwise we'd not be able to discuss anything in the news at all.

OR a right Royal Ear Bashing!

Ready there are facts and what someone just made up.

HM has no shame - she’s no longer fit for purpose.

Meme - not “me me” (it’s all about me)

Oh that, right

No I can understand the Queen wanting to offer some emotional and social support to her son no matter what he's done. But she is also The Queen not just a mother. It could really be time for her to consider retiring with her husband and beginning to lead a private life where she can just be herself and not have to worry about what The Public think. I believe at this point Prince Charles has all the personal authority he needs to become Prince Regent.

HM has hundreds of doors behind which she can offer support to PA. By choosing deliberately to be photographed with him is her sending a very clear message to all abused and exploited girls and young women. In public she’s the queen and should behave as if she cares about the nation. In private it’s her choice.

Readymeals that was a fairly comprehensive update, thank you

You forgot to mention the heir to the throne and his wife doing their duty in New Zealand; their hosts are doing an excellent job and C & C look as if they're enjoying themselves and being given a real New Zealand welcome.

I do enjoy a Maori haka

Framilode perhaps she was giving him a regal bollocking out of earshot of everyone.

I don't think that is true, suziewoozie; walls and doors have ears and the only place to have a private conversation would be in the countryside, just the two of them, with only the horses to listen in.

Don’t buy that I really don’t. But tbf no one knows for sure I suppose but it sounds highly unlike.y that she can’t have a private conversation anywhere at all on all the royal and private estates at her disposal?

There were four of them riding out. The Queen, PA, a blond lady and possibly a groom.

She'd have to temper her language then!

Well really private then.
