Just watched a video of Megan Markle, heavily pregnant & about to get ready to give birth, twerking. Thought she was amazing, radiant, bags of energy, especially when she managed to get low down to twerk. Oh then Harry joined in, such fun they were having.

Yes it would probably have been better if Harry had married a British girl but he fell in love with Meghan.

I know you didn't. I was using it as an example of how the public impose 'rules' on the royal family, you asked about these 'rules' at 9.00 and 9.03, I was giving you an example of one.

The post at 8.43 Annie stating he should have married a nice British girl. As I say it seems to me the public see them as pets who must do as they are told.

I did not say it

Galaxy Fri 06-Jun-25 10:16:35

No I know it wasn't but annie asked me what I was talking about in reference to 'doing as they were told' so I replied to her her!

My point about his army career was that for some people nothing this couple do will ever be acceptable or good enough.

The twerking video is embarrassing. If I were them I'd just quietly get on with my life. I'm glad I'm not them.

What have they been criticised for ?
Oprah interview with many lies and at a time when his grandfather was dying?

"What have they been criticised for ?"

Narcissism
Self indulgence
Hiding their childrens' faces
Wanting their cake and eating it
Fake bending when pregnant
Trotting out photos
Wearing padding
Being disgusting
Having, " the worst, lumpy baby bump I have seen"
Being vulgar
"lightened skin,false hair, teeth,boobs etc."
Having the "have the ‘look at me! I’m shy’ syndrome."
Pulling a giant hoax
Using their children as props
Hiring child actors
Dancing out of their age group
Having a 'not quite right baby bump'
Marrying her rather than "a nice British girl like Kate"

The only thing that surprises me about this video is that it wasn’t released to upstage a Royal event.

Not do as they are told, are there not rules in most occupations?

Galaxy Fri 06-Jun-25 08:51:34

Yes the nice British girls have worked really well for the royal family in the past.
This is one of the reasons I am against having a royal family, people treat them as if they are pets, and get cross if they don't do what they are told.

Readandcook Fri 06-Jun-25 08:43:42

It was just awful.
He is as bad as her and would love to know what Charles and William thought!! Not a lot!
They want privacy and when it goes quiet they release a video!
I just can’t stand her and Harry is pathetic.
He should never have married someone like her but a nice British girl like Kate! Then they would all be friends and Charles would be seeing his grandchildren and Harry too.
She as just too controversial from the start.

I rewatched the clip and Meghan's pregnancy looks fake as has been suggested .
It looks like a couple of cushions have been stuffed under her dress .
Her abdomen would have been taut .
And the rest of the clip looks fake too .
It doesn't endear me to her .

It was apparently postpartum pre-eclampsia.

Yawn.

Anniebach Thu 05-Jun-25 22:15:50

They use their children,, and will continue to do so, the little
girl’s birthday was about Megan

Allira Thu 05-Jun-25 22:12:39

However- I still find the release of the video a weird way to celebrate their daughters birthday

Yes, that is what is odd. It's not about Lilibet, it's all about Meghan.
If they don't want to share photos of their children that's fair enough and understandable, but just don't publicise the child's birthday at all!

Washerwoman Thu 05-Jun-25 21:39:52

I don't think for one moment her pregnancies were fakeAnd the weird shape of the bump looks like she has a monitor strapped under her dress.Before I went into labour I had a huge surge of energy and cleaned the house like mad and was very flexible. And eclampsia can come on immediately after delivery not before.
However- I still find the release of the video a weird way to celebrate their daughters birthday and typical Meghan. and Harry. All about her.And a performance. Much prefer Kate and Williams lovely photos of their children on their birthdays. And why on earth share it now.Or at all.

Oh - so….. American.

Oh so narrow-minded?🤔

Why narrow-minded?

I always rather likd Doria, so lovely, so dignified. I wonder what she thinks? We'll probably never know.
