I feel so angry with Meghan & Harry

Smileless I have a bath once a year, whether I need it or not!

So that's what that whiff is. I didn't like to mention it but have been wondering.

Absolutely lemon

You are something of a disrupter Laura. There's a definite whiff of anarchy about you!
Re the perceived hierarchy. I do wonder what quieter members think of more prolific posters.
I recall Lucca attempting a thread about the subject, but it upset someone and got pulled I think.
On a thread that I started a poster grumbled about 'seeing the same names'. Lots of posters then popped up and agreed.

There’s a distinct whiff of anarchy about many of us Fanny
It’s what makes us interesting.?

*Smileless*, I have been interviewed by the local constabulary, does that count?

Picked up by the Fuzz eh? Tut tut

No need for apologies everyone, I was just doing the same thing, and voicing my opinion!

EllianneIve got some lovely cream cashmere with a subtle fleck of silver running through it. Does that fit the bill? After all we dont want it to clash with the tiara do we?

The 'level of personal affront' may well be because the royal family have been a constant in our lives, like them or not; Governments come and go, celebrities, personalities, stars flourish then disappear, natural disasters shake lives, but the royal family, being like all families, always has occasions which reflect our own lives.
I remember the Coronation vividly, someone yesterday recalled the Queen's wedding fondly, (didn't know she was that old),every one remembers where they were when Diana died, and most will remember the fall out from this latest soap opera drama.
Births, marriages, deaths and everything in between.

My apologies too SecondhandRose but I hope you don't mind this having become a light hearted thread. I'm sure everyone will agree that as we've rather derailed this thread, you be given a golden ticket to the RG club by way of compensation.

I've given this a great deal of thought trisher and despite having spent some time practising my flounce in front of a mirror, and having got it off to a 't', I've decided that my loyalty is to the RG's.

Oprah got back to me but I told her "now is not the time". I just couldn't bring myself to part with my tiara and the possibility of not having someone to do my knitting for me was the deal breaker.

My sincere apologies SecondhandRose, I plead guilty to diverting your thread somewhat. I hope you are not upset by it.
I also plead guilty, along with several others, of trying to make it a lighter more fun thread in view of the fact that there were other more angry threads on the same subject.
I wasn’t guilty of saying what should or should not be said by others so am not a GN senior or royalty.
Just to be serious about this latter issue for a minute. There is no hierarchy, we are all equal.

Namsnanny I'm so sorry. I did helpfully offer to direct secondhandrose to 3 or 4 other M & H threads about which she said she had no idea.
The OP said she is so cross with M & H, maybe others are just showing their anger in a different way here!
Can you knit me me a lacy stole for my night at opera please Namsnanny? I think trisher mentioned something about populace, in cream if possible.

Meant to add, I wish people would get more upset about the alleged antics of another senior royal rather than getting their knickers in a twist about what one other poster on here quite rightly described as a family squabble.

We don’t have a formal written constitution. And if it destroys the Royal Family, I’ll send them a thank you card.

Well said!!

Can I just say, I feel sorry for secondhandrose.

She started a thread, was told she shouldnt have (???) in no uncertain terms, and must feel decidedly miffed!

I'm glad this has turned into a fun space though, because from my pov the less said about the unmentionable duo the better!

I'm looking forward to next week.

BTW I can knit so can I join someones club? Pretty please?

Smileless2012

Nooooooo trisher I don't want a cooperative. I want to be a RG. It's not fair. I'll never get my Oprah interview if I don't have a title.

I can't knit either maddyone which is why I get one my staff to knit for me but if I'm not a RG whose going to knit for me?

I wish Oprah would get off the 'phone so I can tell her I might be losing my RG status and we need to get that interview done now.

OK you can join the RG, but it's now a requirement of joining that you either never say another word (Bye bye Oprah) or after a short period you flounce off angrily insisting all the other GNs are being nasty to you. If you do this you will be guaranteed an Oprah interview, but before you can do it the RGs will demand the return of all tiaras.

I've just tried to book my interview with Oprah but it defaulted to the royal box at The Coli. Is Aida Oprah's sidekick?

Ellianne

Am I dreaming it ir havent we already done socks to death elsewhere? Fanny?

Hello! I'm here, somewhat late to the party. I haven't RTFT yet.
Re socks - yes, there was quite a debate about them on the Argument Thread (which I think is due a bit of a comeback tbh).
Re Senior Grans - I wonder what I am? I've only been here since last Autumn
In fact, I'm not even sure if I should be here at all

I personally don’t care what any of them do as long as they are not taking tax payers money to do it

I have to wonder how many people here are projecting their issues with their own DILs and daughters - the level of personal affront here is really odd.

Could be. Or too much believing the Mail who hate her with a passion that borders on obsession.

I agree nanna8. I have no idea whether she is lovely or a complete cow, but I can see that most women entering the RF have struggled - which should tell us something, and the media has been toxic about her - without producing anything I would class as actual evidence.

The fake pregnancy stuff made me realise why they wanted out. Good luck to them.

Whatever, though, the RF environment sounds pretty toxic to me so maybe, just maybe, they are right to leave it behind.

Not so much a spoilt madam as an American actress through and through. Their reality, I am sure they just lap it up overall there. Huge,huge cultural differences and what wth Trump and the way many of the populace went on, a bridge too far. Harry has to either adjust to it or go under. Let’s hope it is the former

Lemongrove I have been mulling over whether rampant bloaters is on a par with Nell Gwynne’s oranges. I used to have a tiara, but it was only a little one, does that count?

H is as much to blame as she is moggie. He's condoning this interview and the trashing of his family by being a part of it.

Maybe he thinks that not being present throughout he can distance himself and if he think that, Pontious Pilate springs to mind.

Now, I’ve only been on Gransnet for a few months so maybe I’m missing something, but.... “a spoilt madam”? moggie57 how could you possibly know that?

Utterly bizarre.
