Hello all,

As the title says, reallly.

Starting to think she calls the shots hmm and Harry goes along with it.

?love it Callistemon

The media did the same with Diana and Sarah - constantly comparing them to Sarah's disadvantage.

I thought that Meghan looked very happy and glowing in the christening photos and thank goodness she has not followed the celebrity trend to lose too much weight too quickly.

Bridgeit re the decor of our homes - I always ask DH's opinion. smile
He has, however, learned not to give it over the years. He says there's no point grin

Cant stand either of them now. Suggest they lead a private life and leave behind the their privileges. Same goes for Andrew and the girls.

Anniebach Sun 07-Jul-19 17:06:34

Many royalists Nvella the many who stand for hours just to see them pass by, who knit baby clothes when a Windsor baby is on the way, who buy mugs with a Windsor face on,

I am in no way a monarchist but I find the Meghan bashing completely weird and wonder where it springs from. Don’t give a toss whether their christening is private and godparents unknown - who cares.

Clarec5 Sun 07-Jul-19 15:56:56

I'm with you Namsnanny, the sooner they got gone the better. However I feel she going to suck the well dry before she departs and clearly Harry is besotted

Bridgeit Sun 07-Jul-19 15:27:39

Clearly some do not read about the history of our own country & the Commonwealth IF they did they would realise how wide of the mark their racist theories are.

NainGymraeg Sun 07-Jul-19 15:19:12

I cannot believe some of the comments I am reading here! Where do some of you get your information from? Ah yes, the media. You clearly believe everything you read and consequently make your judgement on this couple based on this.
Finally, this was a private christening for a baby who will be highly unlikely to ascend the throne so why should we be entitled to know who the godparents are?
You clearly have decided that The Duchess if Sussex is guilty of whatever you want her to be guilty of because she isn’t providing you with regular photo opportunities of her young family and is obviously controlling her husband to dance to her tune.
If she were to be posting photos of her child regularly, you would then accuse her of over-promotion. She can’t win!

Namsnanny Sun 07-Jul-19 14:41:04

Interesting shelasue....all I’ve seen is that the country paid the lions share for the ‘cottage’ and the queen chipped in the rest!
I’m sorry if I’m wrongblush
Where did you read that then?
Getting a life by the way, is noticing what’s going on around yougrin

Sheilasue Sun 07-Jul-19 14:29:59

Shop reading all the rubbish in the papers, they just like to wind people up.
They paid for the work on their home out of their own money.
All this silly royal talk. I suppose someone’s going to comment on the fact that HM wasn’t there. She wanted to stay at Sandringham with Prince Phillip. Get a life all of you for goodness sake.

Anniebach Sun 07-Jul-19 14:21:14

Good grief , she is 37 summerlove. You think she wore a chastity belt for 20 years ?

Namsnanny Sun 07-Jul-19 14:17:22

Their behaviour is quite enough to muse on, no need to pull out the race card.

The arrangements for the christening were handled so badly that the queen couldn’t go because of prior engagements. Or will some people suggest that she’s a racist too and that’s why she didn’t go!

Talk sense this has nothing to do with just Megan , she’s only half of the couple, so what ever cockeyed view they have on anything is held jointly.

I wish they’d do themselves a favour and give up the titles and b****r off to Africa and live their life in peace and annonimity.
I for one would wish them well!

But all this coy now you see me now you don’t rubbish is demeaning and childish

mokryna Sun 07-Jul-19 14:14:25

As Megan is an American, nationals have to pay income taxes in the United States regardless of their country of residence, does this include among other things the ring and what else?

Bridgeit Sun 07-Jul-19 14:02:31

It is reported that the RF brings in 400million yearly, the Government keeps 360 million of it.
Tourism generated by RF = 1.8 billionQueen has 15% of it
Crown Estates are in profit each year , also providing employment.

Summerlove Sun 07-Jul-19 13:56:10

True the two women had different pasts, Kate a long relationship with William, Megan , a first husband and two live in lovers

Oh goody, now we are going to slut shame her.

God for lbid somebody just get on with it and not find a fault.

Why aren’t earth would anybody expect this woman to want to spend time and share her child with a public who despise her so much? It seems to me she does what she is supposed to, but doesn’t go overboard. She is slammed for courting publicity, And then slammed even more when she doesn’t share.

Honest question, can she ever win?

merlotgran Sun 07-Jul-19 13:43:29

I agree, Quizqueen but who will occupy all those palatial homes? grin

Presumably the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester are still rattling around in the massive KP apartment that H&M turned down and Nott Cott is now empty as well. hmm

annabanana Sun 07-Jul-19 13:40:25

Not a royalist but let's face it how do we know what to believe and what not to believe in the press these days.

quizqueen Sun 07-Jul-19 13:39:31

The (paid for ) Royal family members need to be trimmed down to include just the first born of each generation and whose immediate descendants ( and their partners) will inherit the throne, so that's .... Charles, William, George. The others can do proper work for a living.

Calendargirl Sun 07-Jul-19 13:31:58

I think the wedding reception was held at Frogmore House, which I imagine is not the same place as Frogmore Cottage, which was staff quarters before all the renovations.

merlotgran Sun 07-Jul-19 13:31:04

Merlotgran, Your comment about how she looks so lovely because she is mixed race is not a compliment you think it is.

Summerlove, it was meant as a compliment but you've twisted it to desperately try to find a racist slant. Some people, if they try hard enough, would find racism in a donkey's hind leg!

I was referring to her skin tone as well you know.

Bridgeit Sun 07-Jul-19 13:29:33

I was once a shop assistant , it did not make me want to live in a shop !

Keeper1 Sun 07-Jul-19 13:23:32

Kate managed to give birth to three children, posed on the steps of the hospital went home and that was it until they chose to let the children be seen/photographed. Same with the three christenings. I cannot see that George who will be King one day is being hounded. There is a certain expectation from the public to have some insight into their lives. As an actress Megan would have wanted exposure so cannot whinge now.

Anniebach Sun 07-Jul-19 13:14:26

Frogmore was not in need of extensive repairs, Harry and Megan held their wedding reception there.

The costs were for knocking the building into one house suited for the new residents who had a suitable resident in
London but wanted to move out of London but then decided they did need a London residence so have an apartment in Buck House .

Ellpammar19 Sun 07-Jul-19 13:10:44

I can’t understand why everyone is so interested in seeing Archie and knowing all about his christening. I like seeing the royals, especially the Cambridge’s and their family’ but I do not feeling the need to know the details of their lives. Their lives are probably much like the rest of us ‘up and down’ apart from their gross wealth, which brings its own problems.
