Meghan and Harry. Has anyone changed their opinion after the interview with Oprah?

Yes it can become tedious, there are so many ‘ ye olde sayings’
Basically ( ahh I have used that word) it’s all been seen & done before in different guises.
Same poo different era?

Hopefully Bridgeit but it doesnt stop that saying being endlessly quoted on Gransnet! ?

Thankfully times have changed .

A son is a son until he takes a wife, But a daughter is a daughter for life

That is an awful saying and really ridiculous. WHY should a son stop being a son just because he has got married?

Neither son's nor daughter's stop being so when they get married. How they choose to behave after they get married is another thing. Possibly influenced by who they married!

Madgran77 Yes I thought Michelle Obama chose her words carefully and, having met the Queen, I’m sure she doesn’t believe she’s racist. However, anyone with an ounce of nous must find M’s behaviour rather suspect!

ticking bird I find it so hypocritical that these conversations are relayed to the media but Meghan has disowned her father for doing the same

I wondered about that too, such a contradiction!

Michelle Obama very carefully emphasised the importance of family ...wise words, wisely put!

Absolutely Annie.

^And we could all breathe a sigh of relief and get on with our own lives.^

To be fair maddyone, we could all do that anyway.....

Good point!

Yes that's a hideous old saying. I wince every time I see it.

A sons is a son till he gets a wife.........me too Galaxy

Makes me want to scream. My sons are still very much my sons.

Don’t give 2 hoots but still need to comment!!

Spot on Annie

Hypocrites, if Phillip had died he wouldn’t have know what they said, now , if his mind is healthy he does now.

Respect for the dead not the living

You fears are sadly not unfounded JenniferEccles. According to M's mouth piece Gayle King today, there was an agreement with CBS and ITV to postpone the broadcast of the interview if PP had died.

How odd to say this now, the day after his discharge from hospital.

Very well put eazybee and interesting to hear the views of someone like you who once liked Meghan but who has now seen her in her true colours.

She could have been a genuine asset to the Royal family but alas she has potentially done untold damage.

The worst thing is the couple are not done yet I fear.

And we could all breathe a sigh of relief and get on with our own lives.

To be fair maddyone, we could all do that anyway.....

In a situation like this......the only way to win the game is to stop playing, so I hope that’s what the RF does which.......would include not making contact with H for the foreseeable future.

I totally agree with this. The dignified response to all this from Meghan and Harry would be to make no further contact with them for a very good while. To be honest the response would be fully justified if they were treated exactly like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were treated, in other words, to a great extent, ignored. Then they could get on with earning their own living and living privately just as they described when they first left to live abroad.
And we could all breathe a sigh of relief and get on with our own lives.

Yes I agree it is a hideous saying.
All of us who pair up, alter a bit here & there ,adjustments are made in most families but thankfully many retain support & contact even if less frequent.

Bridgeit I think it’s fair to assume if the tv anchor woman,
friend of Megan wasn’t speaking the truth Megan would sue her

She certainly would!

Bridgeit

We will never know Annie, not sure how sure you can be about the source of your information. But if your happy with it thats fine.
All the best to you.

The information was given to a tv presenter who relayed it to the American public and therefore the world. There’s no doubt about the source except in your mind Bridgeit.
So it’s not a matter of whether Annie is happy with the source of the information, the whole world would have to be unhappy with the source. As I said before, the source is a breakfast television presenter called Gayle King.

I cannot express strongly enough how I despise that saying Bridgeit. You don't stop being a son because you get married and any wife who thinks her husband should, better hope that if they have sons they wont marry someone who feels as they do.

Let's not seek to justify what's happening to the RF, and what is and has happened to countless families when an AC becomes involved with a manipulative and controlling partner.

M certainly appears to have stopped being her father's D doesn't she.

But we do know Bridgeit. We know what Gayle King has said on CBS and we know that so far, nothing has been said by H or M to contradict her claims.

In a situation like this ayse the only way to win the game is to stop playing, so I hope that's what the RF does which IMO would include not making contact with H for the foreseeable future.

Yes that's a hideous old saying. I wince every time I see it.

Bridgeit I think it’s fair to assume if the tv anchor woman,
friend of Megan wasn’t speaking the truth Megan would sue her

yes, dislike them even more than I did before. Dispicable couple!!

I think there is an old saying which I may have posted before, goes something like this:

A son is a son until he takes a wife, But a daughter is a daughter for life.
