Announced on Catherine’s birthday? What a couple. Me, me, me ...

They are the sort of people who would announce a pregnancy at somebody else's wedding.

Let me make it clear, it was the programme, and not me, that stated Camilla had won over hearts with her behaviour.
If Meghan is savvy enough to use social media to promote her "victim, hard done by" self then why does it backfire on her. The contrast I was alluding to was that Camilla kept completely silent and sid not use the media as vehicle.

Diana was a 19yr old and twenty when she had William. She was humiliated on World Stage by a husband she expected would love and cherish her.

Megan is ‘ doing a Diana’ but the result isn’t the same , Camilla
is ‘doing a Anne’

What's Andrew doing out of interest.

I don’t suppose we could have a rule that says, “every time you criticise them, rightly or wrongly, you also have to mention Prince Andrew and the charges against him”?

Never have never will,i read what others say about them,hence my reply.
I`m not on any sight except Gransnet.

So if someone abuses you and sends racist and sexist threats you should leave the forum and not the person who is sending the threats.

Galaxy Fri 15-Jan-21 10:43:29

Because Petera its interesting to watch the vitriol to a woman whose crime basically seems to be saying I dont want to live this, and who could blame her, compared to the comparative silence around Andrew's behaviours.

Have I got this right:
Queen Prince Philip Anne Edward Andrew(?!) Charles camilla will Kate All Good
Diana harry Meghan. All Bad
Just checking to make sure nothing has changed since the last identical thread!

Well done Lucca. Go to the top of the class. wink

Galaxy Fri 15-Jan-21 10:47:16

But Kate will only be good till she steps out of line and then she will be very very bad.

Any girl he can get his hands on.

Not quite right Lucca, and I for one am trying to steer the discussion towards the issue of a royal using social media as a vehicle. It is inevitable that comparisons will arise. Don't anyone say there wasn't the same intrusion in 1980s because Diana used journalists and book writers to the same effect.
Kate also uses social media, but in a different way to Meghan in that it isn't all about her.

It's a joke. In The Windsors (which a is a brilliant show) Kate's family are Gypsies.
It's a mickey take of the way that much was made of the Middletons being 'commoners'.

GagaJo Fri 15-Jan-21 10:55:33

Sorry, Saint Kate, she of the holy headband.

Galaxy Fri 15-Jan-21 10:57:00

Oh I see, didnt watch it, thank God I thought fanny had lost her mind!

That's kind of my point. Everyone's outraged by the behaviour of a minor member of the royal family which, in the end, makes little or no difference while another faces major criminal charges and is surrounded by silence.

Sorry Petera I misinterpreted your post there.
It could have been worse I was just about to shout at fanny for being discriminatory grin. I better just go and have a cup of tea.

The Windsors was very funny but I am surprised it went to air in the UK. Treason ? Loved the portrayal of Princess Anne especially. Andrew got off lightly .
