Hello all,

As the title says, reallly.

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

All this secrecy is a ploy to grab more attention

That is one of the daftest posts on here!

The secrecy is, presumably because they don't want too much attention; perhaps they want Archie to lead a relatively private childhood away from the paparazzi.

*an American Princess is almost a contradiction in terms^
I do get your point, but the title goes with the marriage Grandma70s! grin
Perhaps some Americans would prefer to have not had the War of Independence as some seem to adore our Royal Family.

Apricity
Yes, the village pond and the ducking stool come to mind!

Callistemon Mon 08-Jul-19 11:58:10

And helping the Grenfell victims etc can hardly be seen as a sexy cause - strange term, what on earth does it mean anyway?

Marguerita.
I know Diana’s two sisters were in the official photo, but were they actually godparents? Didn’t think we were going to be told about the GP’s.

Callistemon it's a daft term isn't it. hmm

Megan is not a royal princess, if Harry hadn’t been given the title of Duke she would be Princess Henry. Diana was not
Princess Diana , she was Diana Princess of Wales, rather like
taking the husband’s surname, if Charles wasn’t PofWales
Diana would have been Duchess of Cornwall as is Camilla

Thankyou ,thankyou thankyou Apricity ,
I almost feel ashamed to be a woman , a mother, & a grandmother with the spiteful, ( yes that is what they are) comments appearing on here .
Hubble bubble toll & trouble?‍♀️

I wasn’t going to comment again on this thread as I was quite horrified at the lack of response to the lie but I just want to support Bridgeit and Apricity. I find this thread really distasteful with unpleasant undertones. I’m sorry to be so blunt but really most of you do need to give your heads a wobble.

Callistemon Mon 08-Jul-19 14:21:41

I agree.
I do hope her mother never reads any of this and is shielded from it.

Bridgeit Mon 08-Jul-19 14:24:05

?

Perhaps decency will now prevail. It has really been embarrassingly distasteful and undoubtedly racist undertones. Gives me the shivers just thinking about what has been said.

Summerlove Mon 08-Jul-19 14:57:48

I’m glad you see the racism too whitewave. I knew I couldn’t be the only one.

trisher Mon 08-Jul-19 15:01:19

Much as I hate the RF even I'm starting to feel sorry for Meghan.

Anniebach Mon 08-Jul-19 15:04:10

There has been no mention of race unless saying someone is American is racist,

notanan2 Mon 08-Jul-19 15:07:08

FWIW I don't think she's the problem, the couple are behaving badly but its all got Harry's hallmark on it!

He could get away with childishness when he was younger, but the "lovable rogue of the family" excuse no longer washes at his age, and now he is just a brat with double standards. Wants all the royal trimmings but the duties are a DRAG! No humility or sense of duty in that one at all!

suziewoozie Mon 08-Jul-19 15:09:12

The word doesn’t have to be mentioned anniebach for the undertone to be there. It could even be unconscious but either way .....

notanan2 Mon 08-Jul-19 15:11:45

We would be seeing the same cat and mouse nonsense with the media and the public whoever he would have married...

.... he is the martyr wanting his privacy.... but he also wants adoration and status!

Make up your mind! You can have one or the other not both!

Anniebach Mon 08-Jul-19 15:44:46

suzie shame on all who claim there is racism,undertones
of racism or unconscious racism in the posts

Some think Megan is fantastic, I don’t because I think she lacks dignity ,

Namsnanny Mon 08-Jul-19 15:54:37

Flowbow…… Press releases are just propaganda slanting information a certain way!
Do you really think she'll be doing the work that the 3 nannies did?
'Cos really I don't accept that is a statement that can ever be considered truthful.

Check out the situation in 3 or 6 months time!

As for twitter, if you court idiots then trouble is going to follow.
Far from sheltering their baby and themselves from unwanted attention, they are actively cooking up ways of getting it (re-hashing wedding photos for one).

Those who criticise reading papers and getting info from them, perhaps you have a hotline to the palace but I don't!

Bluebell....with the greatest respect, where is the racism?

You demean her and do her a disservice if you think of her only in terms of her racial heritage.

She is a lovely looking woman who in my opinion cleverly uses her image to manipulate every situation she finds herself in, and always has.

I felt the same about Diana p.o.w. So maybe that's why Harry is so besotted, he's found a woman just like dear old mom?

Namsnanny Mon 08-Jul-19 16:09:26

notanan….As I said earlier, its the couple who want to play this game, so I totally agree with your comment.

But did you mean H&M should makeup their minds or us?
Because imv its H&M who are instigating all the unwanted attention they are getting by playing this cackhanded coy game of now-you-see-me-now-you-don't with the press!

Anniebach Mon 08-Jul-19 16:17:03

I agree , the photographs of Archie, first his face was hidden,
second only his feet shown , third Harry gazing at Archie Megan gazing at Harry , so staged

Jabberwok Mon 08-Jul-19 16:18:31

How can you "hate" a whole family on a personal level that you aren't even on 'hello' terms with?! You may disapprove of their status, their wealth their very existance, but to actually hate them simply because of the family they belong to is a bit strong, almost racist!

Whitewavemark2 Mon 08-Jul-19 16:20:25

Anyone familiar with the term dogwhistle racism? That is what is going on here.

notanan2 Mon 08-Jul-19 16:20:27

I meant them namnnanny, so I think we are in full agreement wink
