Can someone please enlighten me in letting me know what was wrong in Harry and meghan saying "service is universal"? Surely it is. We also like to help each other and provide a service to each other when we can, that's what I'd like to believe anyway. Isn't this what they meant? There's seems to be a lot of H & M bashing again over this, however, it's all gone quiet over Prince Andrew's alleged sexual relationship with an underage girl. Am I missing something?

Don’t encourage those avidly combing the posts for something to report, please! Hate it when posts mysteriously disappear. Detest the permanently offended brigade. Like the poor, they are always with us, NellG and I hope you don’t fall foul of them because your posts are interesting and good and feisty.

I think it was because at that time we (the taxpayer) were still funding them, all be it via the Queen et al.

Yes, and?

That doesn’t mean they owe taxpayers their children.

It’s such an odd attitude.

Customs are not laws.

Following that, I always felt terrible for Catherine being paraded about hours after birth.

Women are not show ponies

Cheers nanna8, and likewise!

Yes I agree Summerlove. That sentence made me smile.

On our tv this evening Harry was saying that he left the UK because the press there are so bad and were affecting his mental health. I could understand that , especially after his mother’s experiences.

Aveline Sat 27-Feb-21 07:55:14

Why read the tabloids then? Other royals have had a bad time with the press but just shut up and get on with it. Keep calm and carry on.

Anniebach Sat 27-Feb-21 07:56:45

Sadly he didn’t learn from his mother’s big mistake, she used the media now Harry is doing the same.

The media were very supportive of his mother,

Galaxy Sat 27-Feb-21 07:58:40

Perhaps that's an idea from another time. Just to put up and shut up. It's not something I would think was a good idea for people unless there was really no other option.

Anniebach Sat 27-Feb-21 08:01:11

Why can’t the press and the royals be discussed without nasty
comments ?

Aveline Sat 27-Feb-21 08:08:17

Just shutting up worked for Sophie Wessex after the 'fake sheikh' tabloid plot. There's really no other way. Sueing etc just feeds the tabloid beasts.

Oops cop from Twitter, as I do not buy newspapers or read tabloids.

Anniebach Sat 27-Feb-21 08:35:42

Why oh why does he have the need to try to justify his leaving family and the uk. We know Harry .

Were the media very supportive of Diana? Not all the time. It was to escape the paparazzi that she hurtled to her death. The press is a two edged sword.

Anniebach Sat 27-Feb-21 09:06:20

Avalon so many speak of her death but forget all that went before .

She posed on the diving board of Al Fayed’s yatch , why not sunbathe away from the cameras.

Why , knowing the hotel was surrounded by the papps did they ignore the security guards advice and leave the hotel in the night, they had a luxury apartment there,

I truly believe they were playing games with the cameras and it all ended in such a heartbreaking tragedy

Irony

OMgosh what is that picture of Harry, GG13? The more he feeds the press these silly stories and the more he affiliates himself with celebrities and showbiz, the more he is going to fall flat on his face

nanna8 Sat 27-Feb-21 09:20:40

They are nasty though, the British press. Everyone knows it. Probably the worst in the world for spite and malice.

Anniebach Sat 27-Feb-21 09:22:10

I don’t read the press from around the world,

Ellianne Sat 27-Feb-21 09:22:47

Yes, Harty knows that more than most. So why does he continue to give them ammunition?

Ellianne Sat 27-Feb-21 09:23:23

*Harry not Russell H

tickingbird Sat 27-Feb-21 09:28:36

He’s also cultivating a transatlantic twang. “I had to get my family outta there”.

maddyone Sat 27-Feb-21 09:44:52

I wish he’d shut up!

Ellianne Sat 27-Feb-21 09:48:07

maddyone

I wish he’d shut up!

I fear he's on a roll at playing a new role!
