Meghan and Harry

Me too annep. Why do people take offence so easily nowadays? 16 pages of griping and bitching and taking offence at differences of opinion.

I don't agree Anniebach. Thats your opinion. Imo if I say something unkind it doesnt make me an unkind person. I believe in criticising the action not the person. And I hate arguments. And some of this thread is more like an argument than exchange of views. Not helpful. So my last post.

The dressing-gown coat was nice and light ?

still support the monarchy over a president
Me too
I've said it before but it's worth repeating:

"Be careful what you wish for

I know we both agree on that Annie, but I very much doubt she will listen to us

I did read that she was wearing lighter colours and more covered up in Tonga, as mosquitos go for dark colours more. Not sure if that's true.

seacliff. I have said I don’t like the black and navy she was always wearing, when she suddenly changed to more colourful clothes I posted how much I liked them, same with her hair.

I hope she will continue to wear more colour when she is back in the U.K.

I liked some of the later, more colourful clothes Meghan was wearing, rather than the black and navy. I just thought it more summery and appropriate to a hot country, and those colours brought her face alive.

I thought her hair looked good in a neat pony tail rather than the side tendrils which aren't the greatest look in the high humidity.

I know she is learning how to cope with this new role, like all before her. I can't see anything wrong in commenting on her fashion choices.

I hope she and Harry will be very happy.

Annep, to say a posters opinions are nasty is saying the poster is nasty . I think if this had been a face to face discussion it would not have caused some posters to decide those who didn’t agree with them were nasty.

Anniebach I didnt actually say anyone was nasty. I was talking about comments. Goodness me. I think I will give GN a rest. I'm glad we're not all speaking face to face!

Something wrong with a couple who have to physically display ‘we are sooo in love’ to the world.

This isn't factual really, is it? There are other examples. It depends on one's definition of nasty. (unkind, spiteful, unpleasant...) However its not a word I use often. I picked it up from a post I scanned earlier which I didn't read properly. I should have abandoned reading the thread sooner. It was far too argumentative.

Always has been, always will be different opinions on the RF. Queenie was the serious one, Margaret was the beautiful, fun one. Same with Charles and Andrew, Charles and Diana, Diana and Fergie, now William and Harry , Kate and Megan, it will happen in the future , if the new addition is a girl it will be X and Charlotte.

Some want what queenie has always done, kept private life and duty separate, others want what Margaret gave, glamour, fashion, love affairs.

I would like to reiterate that I am 100% for the Royal Family, and think that the current tour seems to have been very well received in the Countries visited.

H &'M seem very much in love and happpy. I hope that the media here and abroad give them privacy when they are not carrying out their Royal duties ???

Pregnant women are generally regarded as vulnerable by most societies, therefore it seems at the very least unkind to present a string of negative comments criticising someone who is attempting to fulfil her new role to the best of her ability.

annep the majority of the posts on this thread are positive. I have not noticed any 'nasty' posts, we live in a free society and some of us have strong opinions on the RF.???

I’ve scrolled through most of this thread and haven’t seen one comment I could call nasty annep . Some strong opinions maybe (to which we are all entitled, I think) and a few disagreements (again entitled) but really nothing nasty.

Calling posters nasty but don’t want to get personal!

I really dont want to scroll back through this long thread. ? Personal criticism of clothes or behaviour..anything rude - all covered by nasty. I really am anti RF but I am against the institution. I dont want to get personal.

Annep, what has been said that you consider nasty ?

I understand why some folk are nasty. But I personally don't think its nice.

So it’s wrong to criticise but acceptable to accuse fellow posters of bitching? Isn’t that critcising ? Yes it is

My granny said that too grannygravy and probably even kidded herself she practised it too . She then went on to criticise every one and everyone, not in a nasty way , just offering up her own ( very humble ) opinion on most stuff. I know she would have approved of Eugenies dress ( we shared a similar taste) but would probably say they all look like they need a damned good feed !

To be honest I don’t think any of them would give a monkey’s toot what we ( or any other peasant) thought of them. They will always have the last laugh .

My Grans would always say "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"

I do try to adhere to this.

I agree with you about our young being so caught up with 'likes etc.' on social media, it can be so damaging on many levels.

Thank you Sparklefizz,
And a brilliant post from you.
