Harry’s juggling balls!

Meghan is doing her serious promotion of her new ‘give 40 minutes’ chat and Harry is in the background juggling (or attempting to) and causing a disruption to the proceedings. I’m baffled as to why. Perhaps he’s getting over the saving the world claptrap and decided to take the p**s, or perhaps he just wanted attention like a child. It’s just so bizarre, or is it just me being a grumpy old bat?

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

Which is why I am able to question other people's statements.

Alegrias1 Thu 05-Aug-21 12:54:23

You think they are evil incarnate, some think they are a lovely couple.

Still a free country, last time I looked.

eazybee Thu 05-Aug-21 12:53:38

'this lovely couple' ?

Alegrias1 Thu 05-Aug-21 12:52:54

Yes, of course, because they are not real people, are they?

You can call them stupid and childish and smug and say there's something wrong with them, because it doesn't really count, does it? It doesn't make you cruel and unkind, like it would if you were talking about real people.

I'm the last person to be negative, this is actually fun!

What is wrong with people for heavens sake? It seems they can’t do anything right - she’s launching a well meaning campaign and they had a bit of fun with it. A bit like tv charity shows. I don’t understand the negativity around this lovely couple.

Oops here

my dog was always just as disgusted as Meghan's dog

Mine wins the prize for snoozing during important family discussions. Just discussing a trip to France.

Interestingly no sign of that smug smirk I dislike.

So why mention it !?

Ellianne Thu 05-Aug-21 12:22:25

I haven't missed out, we always did juggling with the children on PGL breaks and spinning those top things.
I think the key words are "children, youth and circus."
But Harry looked cool in his shades.

I used to go on the trampoline when my kids were at school

I loved it when my children did circus skills with their youth organisation and joined in the juggling classes. It was fun! Have others never done things like this? You've missed out!

Juggling like a child in the garden, is this what he left the RF for?

timetogo2016 Thu 05-Aug-21 11:06:37

Why oh why oh why ?, needs to do some growing up i think.

FannyCornforth Thu 05-Aug-21 11:05:28

Next time he might be playing with a bubble wand

MayBee70 Thu 05-Aug-21 11:04:47

My first thought was what a cold, clinical room it was.

FannyCornforth Thu 05-Aug-21 11:03:12

The first thing I noticed was the gorgeous dog curled up by the mantelpiece

FannyCornforth Thu 05-Aug-21 11:02:12

Perhaps he’s banished from the house when the missus is doing the grown up stuff?

I thought it was rather sweet - if totally staged and (considering both women claim to be actors) really hammy

Callistemon Thu 05-Aug-21 10:52:40

If it's not meant to be a spoof then subtle emasculation comes to mind hmm
Strong woman, useless man in the background juggling but dropping his balls.

Of course, someone will come along in a moment declaring that to be cod psychology
?

Callistemon Thu 05-Aug-21 10:49:44

Thank you Ellianne - il pleut! ?

That was quick.

maddyone Thu 05-Aug-21 10:31:36

I think the forty minutes ‘support’ for women was supposed to be serious Callistemon, but I haven’t the first idea what was going on with Harry. Nonetheless I’m sure he finds juggling in the garden much more worthwhile than doing royal duties in the UK.
