Prince harry says he and his wife have been bought together for a reason!

OH, FGS, FO!!!

What have they done to merit the award? I am genuinely asking, not trying to cause problems.

?

Well, if being sanctimonious is award worthy I suppose they are suitable candidates.

I think its a kind of displacement activity.

You know, things are so awful right now, the situation in Ukraine and so on, that people feel safe bitching on about something that they think is important.

Maybe we should GN ask for and Megan and Harry section, you know, like Arts and Crafts, or Gardening?

Great idea volver.

Gransnet whipping boys. I don't suppose M&H GAF.

In case you are wondering (as I was)
The NAACP stands for The National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People.
It was established in 1909

I think that we’ve probably got enough about Meghan and Harry today.
Surely one thread is more than
enough

Wow , why read the thread if it's so
Irritating to you.
I wondered why they had won this award as well and thought maybe their good deeds were not being focused on as much as the bitching.

What good deeds?

I`m with you MaizieD 100%.

Forget NACCP we need HACCP

Is it me ( I know that it isn’t ) but GN is really, really hard work at the moment.
It seems that everyone is accusing everyone else of being ‘bitchy ‘
It’s bonkers !

It’s not compulsory to keep reading others opinions on matters as it seems to cause Volver so much distress. Do you also keep banging your head against a brick wall because it’s nice when you stop.

You must be aware that many posters now avoid any threads with certain names involved, because they are tedious and repetitive in the extreme. The posters have zero interest in keeping an open mind and continue on as the bitter bigots they have become.

It's not just you.

I thought maybe so Fanny but there a plenty of kind, unbitchy comments elsewhere about injured foreheads (me!) and beautiful flowers, the rugby, cat biscuits, etc so the sun really does shine the brightest!

But what is the "Special achievement and distinguished public service" ? I still don't know. What have they done over and above anyone else?

I thought it was nice when she cooked with the women of Grenfell tower and produced a book to help them financially. What has happened to all those people displaced from the tower? It is never mentioned. A bit like a disused hotel by me that is being used to temporarily home whole families of people (Maybe from Grenfell, who knows) but also test for covid in the car park. Every time I drive past i think wtf

and no Fanny it isn't just you

volver has a lovely banging head against wall image which she sometimes treats us to.

As for the thread topic, I quite thought they had forgotten about ‘commitment to a life of service’, left it behind when they went to the US. And of course the real reason they got together is that they were meant to annoy the hell out of us and supply material for GN threads.

Congratulations to Harry and Meghan on receiving this award. I have never heard of the NAACP before but The Telegraph think it’s important enough to report on.

Meghan looks fabulous in that dress which I see uses the NAACP’s colours. Nice touch

Not Ukraine’s national colours? Tut, tut.

Dresses? Now we're talking! For me, top half lovely, and hair, slit not so much.

Surely awards are given to people who devote their lives to helping others, working day and night in homeless shelters etc. There are some amazingly selfless people who do just that.

What the hell do H&M do apart from the odd visit or instruct their staff to do something for them. They simply wave their magic wands in their ivory tower and make something happen. I can't see how that deserves an award.

Oh no. I don’t like that at all. Nothing about it at all.
And I usually can’t fault her sartorial choices

I’m going to seek out the threads you mentioned Josieann

Nor me. I am still hoping and waiting for someone to tell me what they have done over and above others to merit this award. They have only been together a few years so it can't have been years of service.
