Megan and Harry again!

I think you're right Annie. Their choice of course, but why release a photo, why not just issue a written statement? And if you want a photo something more natural and 'un posed' might have been better.

*Suzie*Just illustrating that in your opinion anyone who doesn't agree is "in the gutter", "unintelligent" etc etc.

I believe these things are called ad hominem attacks, and in my opinion they make you look really, really bad. Which you must know as you say that you are self aware,

So, are you trolling or do you have something substantial to bring to a discussion that other people are enjoying?

Or, "can we have our thread back please"...to quote your own plea when you insinuated I was intruding elsewhere.

Really this is getting sillier and sillier IMO. You really do like going after me which is odd when you criticise me for ad hominem attacks.

Smileless. Seems some don’t know there is a difference between newspaper photograph snaps and an officially released photograph

We all know the press treat members of the RF according to their current perception. Catherine had to endure the taunts of "waity Katie" and "doors to manual" That wasn't the fault of posters to this thread, and nor are the press examples shown above suziewoozie. You condemn gransnet posters on this thread for making "gutter comments" but fail to quote any.

I am not too fussed about them but I do find it a bit rich to say she is getting her voice back. How many people had heard of her before she got with Harry?

I don’t think anybody had heard of her and that is the problem. Also, is she implying that the things she did say when she lived in the UK were not her real opinions but were forced upon her?
In fact, I think her voice and opinions has been heard non stop since she came to public attention just before and since her marriage. I’d certainly never heard of her before she married him and I doubt many others had outside of her own circles.

I don't know if it's my device or not, but I've not seen those pictures on this thread before, and wasn't aware anyone from the press was posting here. Is it another glitch?

*suziewoozie*. the photographs you have posted were taken by the press, I spoke of the official photograph released by the
Sussex’s

I think it’s a moot point

Annie's opinion of the photograph isn't an example of the gutter press suziewoozie. Gutter press is defined as reporters or newspapers engaging in sensationalism journalism especially the accounts of the private lives of public figures.

I so agree , Megan has become a stick for some to beat the royal family with.

The ghastly photograph of Megan earth mother tenderly holding her bump resting in the protective alpha male husband’s arm was admired by some who have hatred for the
royal family .

Hummmm

I was just looking for that suziewoozie! I hope you don't mind me posting the link to the thread. I think my favourite is Meghan wearing flowers at her wedding that could have killed Charlotte!!

Oohh look - totally fair equal treatment again

And the daily mail's, which of course, nobody reads.

If you think Nell's response is a bit of an over reaction suziewoozie perhaps you could point out the posts on this thread that amount to "gutter level gossip".

If you don't wish to debate this topic then perhaps you could just leave it those who do.

No I’ll come on when I wish - I see no reason why I shouldn’t

In Anniebachs opinion.

Suziewoozie In your opinion.

I never said it wasn’t in my opinion

I fail to see what Meghan has done that is so despicable.
Genuinely, I don't understand.

Suziewoozie In your opinion.

I find it difficult to believe that people who dislike the RF seem to be ridiculously supportive of Meghan. It doesn’t matter what she does or how she behaves, she is seen in a totally positive light. It’s strange, since the much disliked RF are Meghan’s ticket to world fame and extreme wealth.

I completely disagree with the concept of the monarchy. There are individual members of the royal family who over the years have not endeared themselves to me and others who seem generally acceptable in carrying out their roles. However, I accept that my views are based on a range of ‘information’ from a variety of ‘sources’ and no doubt fuelled a good dose of my own prejudice. The reason I come on threads like this as part of Team Meghan is not because I am ridiculously supportive of her but because so many posters who are ridiculously anti- her and a level of discussion and comments about her that are quite frankly gutter level gossip,

In your opinion. Which has no greater or lesser validity than anyone else's.

You can be judge and jury on other people's opinions until the cows come home, that's fine but why do you always feel that you must do it in such an insulting way? Who are you to tell anyone else that their thoughts are "gutter level" and think you shouldn't get a reaction? Or is it the reaction you are after?

Or are you trying to drive people off the site and police the topics? If you want to debate, maybe you could contribute something other than your censure.

This is a bit of an over reaction . I made references to my own prejudices - at least I recognise I have them. As for my comment about gutter level gossip, I stand by it completely. Some of the things said about her on the various threads ( two,of which got deleted) are precisely this. As for your comment about my wanting to drive people off the site and police the topic, that’s just plain daft. These threads are hugely important to many posters and if I wanted to ( and I don’t ) there’s no way they would be driven off ? And I don’t actually want to debate because I think there’s actually little to debate as both sides have pretty entrenched positions which are beyond this.

I so agree , Megan has become a stick for some to beat the royal family with.

Rosie51 the act says the King’s right to the care of the marriage and education of the children of the royal family; and that the late opinion acknowledges, that the King had the care of the royal children and grandchildren
Great grandchildren would have been regarded as rare and practically impossible at the time. However the term "The children of the royal family" could be interpreted as covering them.

No, not in a million years, but nice try.
