Harry’s juggling balls!

Oh er, Harry is playing the fool much as my teenage GS's do when they get together. I guess the whole thing was more for the American public than for us although I notice some threads this morning saying they see little of them on US television and many people wouldn't know who they were, all so odd and painful to watch.

I think people say anything they like about anyone who’s in the public eye Alegrias. It may or may not be complimentary, but people do make comments and form opinions about people that they’ve never met. The worst of this is when people in the public eye receive death threats via Twitter. I’m thinking in particular of Diane Abbott but I believe that many women are targeted in this way. When compared with this, posters on Gransnet expressing their opinions on any of the royals is very tame indeed. Thankfully.

Somebody just said they were surprised Meghan hadn't got Harry neutered. Somebody upthread said there was something wrong with him (implied - mentally). Somebody else called him a childish, attention seeking fool.

But no, nobody's actually made any death threats yet. Guess they should be grateful for that.

Why do people take the time to come on a thread to tell us how bored they are with it?

I don't know, perhaps you could tell us, Alegrias?

Air con, *Callistemon? You’d have thought it would be better for the environment to have a couple of minions be punkah wallahs, thereby also providing employment for locals.

Still, at least we know the video would have been authentic.

Next time he might be playing with a bubble wand

I love doing that, the DGC have to fight me for it!

Maybe Harry's trying to prove that he still has some balls.

I thought she would have had him neutered after Lillibets birth, to save the planet by having only two children like they told everyone else to.

For me ????

Come on Alegrias it’s a (temporary) respite from Brexit/ Boris/ the imperfect subjunctive ?

I don't think so Mawbe, honestly. I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but it does make we wonder about the people who write such things about anybody whose actions they disapprove of. I mean its not like they have committed crimes against humanity, or started a war. They are seen as being hurtful to a family who some think are beyond reproach and that is taken as carte blanche to say anything we like about them, really unfair, unfounded slurs and insults, time and time again. It's weird.

Anyway, back to the Brexit thread for me

I don’t think eazybee was comparing Harry and Meghan to Hitler or Henry V111. I think she was saying it’s possible to have negative or indeed positive feeling about people we’ve never met. Indeed many on these royal threads express great positivity about the Queen, due to her dedication to the job, but they’ve never met her. I definitely think we can form opinions on others who we have never met, and only know through the media, based on their behaviour. We can form either positive or negative responses based on what we know of them.

The Oprah interview was not a daft thing, it was a money making attack on a family.

Thank you. He is a golden retriever pup with a lovely temperament. 9 weeks old, just a baby, so garden visits throughout the night, but luckily no feeds!
So as not to derail the thread, I'd better confess his name is Henry but I won't be calling him Harry. Even though he is red haired!

I'm serious, I can understand why they are unpopular and that they keep doing daft things, but thread, after thread, after thread. I know, I don't have to read them

...and why some of us think its very odd indeed to have so much antipathy to a pair of people you've never met.

I’d rather not meet two people who make an industry out of trashing the feelings and reputations of family members.

Shall we have a thread about how bad Henry VIII was? I'm watching The Spanish Princess at the moment. He's just started to go a bit mad, no heir and all that.

For all their faults, I think comparing M&H to Hitler and Henry VIII is a new low.

???

I wondered how long it would be before someone mentioned Hitler

I never met Hitler nor Henry VIII, but I have strong opinions about them based on their actions.

Deviation: is that a fox red lab looking so cute?

awww Ellianne, is it a puppy?

Interestingly no sign of that smug smirk I dislike.

So why mention it !?

Because elsewhere I have criticised her for it whilst noticing previous photos of her show her with a normal smile. No sign of the smug smile so it obviously depends on certain circumstances such as putting the RF down.
