Harry laying a wreath.

I'm sure there was a proper wreath somewhere.

At the risk of causing more disturbance I thought they'd taken flowers from their garden. Did they actually lay a wreath or were they really just sort-of marking the day? Is that their wreath?

Lexisgran, that is exactly what I was going to suggest. All those photos just seem distasteful to me, just wrong. If he had gone privately and laid a wreath, and then made a short announcement afterwards, that would have been so much more respectful.

It is just possible he loves her to bits NotTooold.
I guess only time will tell.

Oh dear. Poor Harry. He must regret his decision on such occasions. I think the review is in March but how can he change his mind? I can't see Meghan agreeing to come back. The only way Harry can come back is if he leaves M in America with his son and I doubt he would wish to do that. No, he's stuffed, I reckon. Such a shame. Should have listened to his brother.

The service of Remembrance yesterday was stark and sombre, and possibly more moving because of the lack of crowds.
H&M have trivialised it by first playing the victim:' Harry wanted a representative to lay a wreath but he wasn't invited', and then by posing for and publishing this photograph.
Cheap.
He at least should know better.

Might I suggest that an announcement could have been made saying that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex marked Remembrance Day in the UK by laying a wreath and flowers at XX cemetery. Discrete, inoffensive and poignant. Of course, it might not have made the headlines like photographs did, but eminently appropriate for a couple who wanted less intrusion into their lives.

Absolutely-tootly.??

Quite agree. Nice and dignified.

They ‘don’t do’ discreet ,

If he had laid a wreath at the cenotaph he couldn’t have taken
her to hold his hand.

Hmmm. Nice comment.

I am not bashing, I am disgusted they used graves for a photo
shoot.

*for not gir

Hey, while we are dissecting photos here, how come her heels didn't sink into the springy grass in the cemetery and come out all muddy? I know mine would have.
Maybe she took a spare pair of clean heels gir the photo on the paving?

You have to say these two images are pretty similar and posed for the cameras. I don't like a remembrance moment being about photo opportunities.

If my mother was still alive she'd have taken one look at the photos and said, 'Oh dear, It's a shame he has a gammy leg!'

Then don’t look Lucca

Somebody on another thread complained about people constantly “moaning “ about Trump.
Bitching about m and h is obviously fine.
“It’s not bitching it’s expressing disappointment “. My eye.

?yes, tenderly, as if he was aged four.

I watched the Cenotaph service live, then saw some highlights on the 6 news.
I wasn’t at all surprised that Harry and Andrew were not represented, or mentioned, at the 11am service, at least I don’t think they were, but in the evening news, Nick Witchell did make a comment about their absence.
I just assumed Harry might be laying a wreath in the USA somewhere, but did not expect it to be newsworthy, and would not have thought ‘oh, he isn’t doing anything’

Adding to the ‘bash H&M though’, I did feel in the photo of them both, that if they hadn’t been holding hands, she would have been rubbing his back!

How many people are actually interested in what Prince Harry and his wife?

He is in his mid-30s, an age when one assumes he has the maturity to consider his decisions and not rush into them without thought. If he did got railroaded into them by anyone on either side, well, tough. It has always been clear that over this whole sad debacle, he was a man that wanted to have his cake and eat it.

I think you're right about the cake and eating it M0nica. It seems a bit like a spoilt child's mentality, but as you say at 35+ one might question Harry's maturity. Maybe he always had decisions made for him in the past so is easily led?
Your question how many people are interested in them is interesting because I read a recent article saying the magazines are finding that putting Meghan and Harry on the cover isn't selling so many copies.

I think the answer is to stop seeking publicity, and if they do need publicity use some common sense to differentiate between what is appropriate and what isn't.

Why does he need a photographer? He doesn’t have to prove himself? Lots of famous people do things anonymously as it’s not about themselves.

Dig at Americans
Dig at Meghan.
Any more ?
