Royal Thread the Second- Tiaras Optional! ?

Does not commute.

(Now that's sarcasm.)

So Prince Phillip was a 1950’s housewife , as was the Queen Mother, Tim Lawrence, Harry !

Surely in marriage support is a two way commitment?

Three of my great aunts were married , had children, one a midwife, one a district nurse , one a headmistress .

I think it’s sad that women today look down on women of previous generations, in my opinion many women were strong
woman in every generation.

1950's housewives supported their husbands, following them around, promoting his career over their own ambitions, might have a little interest in charity work but his commitments always came first. Even if they worked it wasn't a career because that would interfere with their main purposes to support him and to have children.

How does she behave like a 1950’s housewife trisher ?

For me 1950’s housewives were women who married and had
children , some had a job some didn’t, only difference today is
many live with a man but don’t marry , now there is the
contraceptive pill so number of children is a choice.

trisher I find your defence of Meg highly amusing, your sneering of 1950’s housewives insulting.

I said Kate behaved like a 1950s housewife, the sneering judgement is entirely yours Annie. If it is a role women should aspire to, or it is their choice, how can it be derogatory?
Personally it's not something I would want for myself or for my GD, but if she is doing a job you consider worthwhile what difference does my comment make?

sarcasm is the lowest for of wit don't you know.

There is a thread this morning Alegrias1 about a woman, do
post there and tell those posters to ignore what is written about
her. I look forward to reading the replies .

If people are still going on about "a woman's" deportation in six months and between now and then they start to make completely unfounded comments about how they know how she thinks and what motivates her, then I'll make a comment.

I find this attitude of "they do awful things to get their money" highly amusing. Where on earth do you think the RF got their cash? Nothing at all ethical there!

when a person shows you there spiteful crafty side while having a pretty face

You could just not look at what she shows you. I don't think its compulsory yet.

I don't understand why when a person shows you there spiteful crafty side while having a pretty face you are called haters if you point this out...;......to keep pointing out the haters means you have lack of understanding what is before you and....a lot of time on your hands!

Difficult to ignore someone who keeps putting herself on the front pages.

I can manage it. Buy different papers.

Difficult to ignore someone who keeps putting herself on the front pages.

I don’t care who she slept with to further her ambitions, I do
care that she lied in the Oprah interview.

Anyone who has had a loved one spoken about publicly, as I have , would feel the same as I do.

Alegrias1 Yes.

Then the best thing we can all do is just to ignore her, wouldn't you agree?

Meg was more than just an actress, she spoke out about many
political issues.

But she used people , her first husband said he felt like something stuck to the bottom of her shoe.

She lived with a celebrity chef then dumped him when she met
Harry.

She uses people, she lies, she wants the world stage to further her ambitions, not to be a Hollywood celebrity but to have
celebrity status so she can speak out about things she really does care about.

Don't know why it didn't work

eazybee the concept of public service was alien to her and she had no intention of observing it.
This is one of the myths perpetuated byMeghan haters-that she was just an actress. In fact she was involved in charity work before her marriage. A quick Google would tell you about it. Possibly she wanted action instead of discussion and delay in the RF .https://www.worldvision.org.uk/about/celebrity-supporters/meghan-markle/

Given that, I feel sorry for Meghan as I don’t think she had the first clue about what she was stepping into.

But it was up to Harry to tell her!

I think he glossed over the not-so-good parts as he was terrified she would walk away, the same as Chelsy and Cressida.

Meghan however was sure she could change the old order and bend it to her way of thinking. When this didn’t happen….we’ll, then they both walked.

Sorry Maddyone, but I honestly do not believe Meghan Markle had the slightest interest in the way the royal family functioned when she met and married Prince Harry. She saw a wealthy, easily manipulated man able to provide the status she needed to become a 'celebrity'; the concept of public service was alien to her and she had no intention of observing it. She totally disregarded any advice offered to her by experienced staff appointed for that purpose, ten of whom are now preparing to give evidence against her concerning the bullying allegations.

The spite with which she and the despicable Harry have attacked the family who provided their gilded lifestyle is the main reason for my intense dislike of both of them.

More lies revealed today: MM was in negotiations with Netflix about her project Pearl in 2018 whilst still a 'working' member of the RF. Harry said in The Interview that such multi-million deals were never the intention, but were 'forced upon them when his family cut them off financially after they relocated abroad', at the end of 2019.

Yes. I think in some ways Meghan was too much of an agitator, and the causes she was passionate about didn't sit comfortably within the confines of the Royal Family.
They tried to tailor things towards her leanings, but clearly that didn't work either.

Given that, I feel sorry for Meghan as I don’t think she had the first clue about what she was stepping into.

Yes, sad all round.

It’s very sad isn’t it? The proposals were turned down because the ladies involved could see what royal life is like and decided that it wasn’t for them.
