it turns out that the publicity shy couple were so keen on privacy that they didnt even want the £38 million wedding we were forced into paying for them, blimey, they could have said something earlier, like before the public coughed up a fortune for security, A list celeb guests and more melodrama than an x factor sob story, they are now claiming they wanted none of that because " it didnt feel like their day ", but they went through it anyway, bless em. They told Oprah that they actually had a private exchange of vows three days before, just the two of them were present as well as the archbishop of canterbury - perfectly normal behaviour, , now that they have aired all their laundry in public to the whole world, they are off to work on that private life they claim to crave, At least until the next big interview comes up

I'm so not getting into this argument.

That's fine * Alegrias*. I was just affording you the courtesy of a polite, sensible reply .

Ellianne Mon 03-May-21 13:50:49

That wasn't my point Alegrias. I meant Harry's desire to cling onto anything to do with the royal family when it suits but to criticise its workings and its members when it doesn't.
I've no idea whether GGM feels antagonism towards Harry or not.

You could be right Alegrias. Maybe she's also aware that without his titles he might not find it quite so easy to be financially independent.

Alegrias1 Mon 03-May-21 13:48:29

Oh no - grumpy old republican! Not monarchist!!

What have I done..... shock

Alegrias1 Mon 03-May-21 13:46:45

Even as a grumpy old monarchist I know that Harry is entitled to those titles unless the Queen removes them. He was born a Prince and remains a Prince until he dies.

Maybe the Queen doesn't see any point in taking their titles away. Maybe she doesn't feel so antagonistic towards them as some would have us believe.

Smileless2012 Mon 03-May-21 13:45:31

Great that the event was so successful.

If not for his titles I very doubt he'd have been invited to attend Ellainne.

He who must not be named and all his celebrity pals done good:

^The event raised $53.8 million (£38.8 million) for Covax, which is working to to ensure vaccines are shared fairly among all nations, rich and poor. Organisers said it was enough to help purchase almost 10.3 million vaccine doses.^

That is very commendable Alegrias. Seriously.

What is strange though, and yes I have just watched it, is that he was introduced as "Prince" Harry and the video screen behind him displayed his title "The Duke of Sussex."
It somehow doesn't sit right that he is living off the old titles he wishes to be removed from.

lemon grove, there are some things we will never agree on, H and M being one of them. I’m off to do something relaxing. It’s pouring with rain, cold and windy here. Dog walk wet and muddy, both dogs showered and almost dry so the kitchen has that happy wet dog aroma - this too will pass. Enjoy the bank holiday everyone - as an aside, I rather enjoyed Harry’s celeb appearance at the vax rally ???

Yes, there are several ( maybe many) things we can’t agree on Iam64 but we always manage to be civil about it.?Raining here too and have a baking afternoon planned.

Oh dear! What is TAAT ? Please?

Doing it is a cardinal sin and almost as bad as being MM ?

It’s tradition innit. Bank holidays are always celebrated with Morris dancers and an H&M thread.

Love it

Yes lemon as usual , Carrie what’s her name is ripe for mocking but Harry and Meg are sacred Cows.

TAAT ⚠️

Are you auditioning for Line of Duty suziew ? You missed out a CHIS.

lemongrove Mon 03-May-21 13:19:05

Iam64 I can’t agree with you at all, as many posters enjoy gossip and speculation ( nasty and otherwise) about any other well known names out there.Even wives of politicians! I have read some really nasty stuff on here over the years.
Most posters are annoyed with H and M, not for going off and living a quiet life away from the spotlight, but for trashing the RF and going on to jostle back into the spotlight, in fact they need the spotlight and appear to not be able to live without it.
This is the nub of the matter.

Oh they mock Carrie what’s her name Annie even though they don’t know anything about her, but weirdly Harry and Meghan can do no wrong! Even though they ‘aren’t interested and find these threads boring’ ( so they say.)
I think it’s a love of arguing allied with something else, as I say, I have my own theory on that.

Oh no ???? This looks suspiciously like a TAAT . If you've anything to say about CA and the comments made about her, please for so on the relevant thread . TIA
