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.

Megan's children's faces are hidden due to them not being given any protection. Nothing sinister at all, just a case of unfairness regarding the treatment of Diane's two children.
Very sad really. 😔

Annie B: I would leave out the "pathetic". In my view just "vulgar and crude". That alone should remove her from any entitlement to association with our monarchy.

It isn't hatred, it is disgust at two talentless, workshy yet immensely entitled people who complain endlessly about press intrusion yet seek every chance they can to promote themselves in front of any media available. The royal family, like every other family, suffer occasional discord but do not air it in public, and certainly do not attempt to make money out of it.

Their titles etc are theirs from his grandmother and their father , let’s stick to truth ,they have not been denied protection

Who is Diane?

Unfairness?

Not given protection in their birth country?
That’s to do with their birth country.

If you felt your children needed protection, wouldn’t you stay out of the limelight, avoid unnecessary publicity and publish no photos, even the back of their heads?

Hate is such a strong word. I can't think of a single person I hate, perhaps dislike, but hate? Never! I think people toss the word around like others do 'amazing' when everything they see and do is 'amazing'. Let's keep a sense of proportion about this.

Harry said in his tv interview when he was a working Royal
he was assessed highest for risks, the only one who came close
was the late Queen,he placed himself above the Queen , his grandfather, his father and his brother

They’re just an embarrassment now. The video is trashy. She has zero class.

@Allira

I’m saying anyone obsessed enough to constantly occupy their time raging against the social media posts of someone who has zero impact on their lives is likely miserable. This is a non-story. A silly social media post on par with billions of other silly posts made by billions of other people. Nothing new, unusual, or exciting. To care so strongly about it argues against a healthy emotional state. My reactions on this forum aren’t different than if I were in person encountering someone voicing wild, unfounded conspiracy theories about celebrity pregnancies, spilling hatred, so yes I am dismissive of the reactions to the SM post. Non-story with non-sensical hype and attention. If the criticism is she seeks attention, the joke is on the criticizer giving it to her.

My error!!!
I meant Diana's Grandchildren not her children!!!
Sorry, when I get a bit ranty, I also become an idiot who fails magnificently at getting my point across!
I still love Harry & Megan dancing, dare I say the T -word?
Yes!!! I loved their twerking!
Everyone should shake their tail-feathers from time to time.
Stop picking on Megan &Harry.
Diana would be horrified at some of your comments, think on that? 😶

Anniebach Sat 07-Jun-25 20:54:25

You think Diana would be horrified, I disagree, she was rather
obsessed with William being second in line to the throne

NiceDream Sat 07-Jun-25 20:55:25

Diana would definitely have loved this

merlotgran Sat 07-Jun-25 21:01:15

Prince Charles, as he was then, found Princess Diana dancing on stage with Wayne Sleep extremely embarrassing.

It was the height of good taste compared to Meghan’s twerking.

BlessedArt Sat 07-Jun-25 21:02:47

I think Diana would appreciate a reprieve from the dull, stiff, boring formality of the personas that come hand in hand with all the “royal” nonsense.

Anniebach Sat 07-Jun-25 21:07:20

Diana wasn’t involved with the royal family , doubt she needed
reprieve from the life she was living, Al Fayed’s yacht and holiday villa with private beach and Dodi Fayed , she seemed
to be having a great time

You have absolutely no idea what Princess Diana might or might not be thinking.

Even if you are one of her sisters (which I doubt) no-one would know another's thoughts.

constantly occupying their time

confused Constantly? Goodness me!
I'm not on here all the time but I can't speak for you.

BlessedArt Sat 07-Jun-25 22:33:52

Diana was involved with the institution of the royal family long enough to need a few lifetimes of reprieve from it. I’d have lost my mind with all the insufferable pomp within a year grin.

BlessedArt Sat 07-Jun-25 22:44:40

@ Allira,

No you can’t speak for me…at all. And joining your trend of stating the obvious, Meghan doesn’t know or care about you or your opinions. Mine either. It’s the very reason I will continue to be dismissive of the outrage displayed here. You seem to be taking my posts very personal, as if you are the main subject of them. You should care exactly as much about my posts as Meghan cares about yours.

Anniebach Sat 07-Jun-25 22:54:56

Diana grew up with the royal family,she was born in the grounds of Sandringham, she wanted to marry into the royal family

I heard that in Clark Gable's voice (although I've only ever seen clips, never seen the film). I'm always a bit sceptical about user names that seem to be self-elevating especially using 'blessed' 🤣🤣

Barmeyoldbat Sun 08-Jun-25 06:25:00

Blessed Art. You have slagged us off for reading and commenting on this post yet you have read it yourself, ok you have not joined in with, as you put it, raging against Meghan, but you have done exactly the same with everyone on this post. So what does that say about you

Mollygo Sun 08-Jun-25 06:32:22

Barmeyoldbat
Good point. BA has done exactly that. Somehow I feel your point will be wasted on such self congratulatory beings as BA.

Ilovedogs22 Sun 08-Jun-25 10:56:32

Personally I think BlessedArt speaks a lot of common sense.
Some of the posts regarding Megan & Harry could be written a group of lemmings!
Ps Not sure what the common noun is for a group of lemmings? 🤔
