Prince Harry’s speech

JaneJudge

I love H&M and th white floors and walls and all the air con

I thought this had been posted in the wrong place until I re read later - think my brain is slow in this heat - very funny, and yes, it is.

Well he might just have to emigrate again after this- arrogant entitlement. The only issue is, who would want him?

Watch out NZ, I think he is rather keen! ??
He can always start criticising Māori culture.

Ah, the daily H&M bashing thread is here

Incorrect. There hasn’t been a daily bashing of H&M for, oh, quite a few days now.

They always generate a lot of interest though.

I was thinking, (too much I know), has anyone on here ever lived in a foreign country where you disagree with their laws etc? I have, and I have muttered under my breath on several occasions, but I would never get on my soap box and start criticising in public.
a) because what do I really know?
b) because I am a guest in that country
c) because they are probably aware of their national imperfections anyway and won't change them
d) because I wouldn't want to stir up trouble for my family from a hungry media
And so on.

REVEALED: Harry and Meghan are working with Nelson Mandela Foundation on a secret 'leadership development' project through their company Archewell - and it was the South African Ambassador to the UN who arranged their travel for speech

.....*South African newspaper The Sunday Times jokingly compared Harry's plight to that of Mandela, calling Harry the 'Duke of L.A.'
'He's in exile. Just like Madiba. No, sorry, of course, he was imprisoned for 27 years on Robben Island. Same, same-ish.

'Harry is imprisoned in his gilded pleasure palace in Montecito with a podcast schedule and documentary team following him around.'

I looked up past speakers at this event Bill Clinton and Stevie Wonder are among them, so possibly Harry is a good choice. It's certainly raised the profile of the day which I bet most had never heard of.

To return to the important issue of Meghan's need to hold hands. I have just seen the picture of her in today's DT holding hands with Gloria Steinem, wearing the most peculiar outfit of white shirt, belted exquisitely tailored shorts, and vertiginous spindly heeled stilettos.
Clearly she cannot walk without support, but I would fear for Gloria's safety.

The thing is, Meghan as an outsider criticised the UK so I supose Harry, as an outsider, feels free to criticise the US. Both of them are wrong to do that.

suppose with 2 x p's. I can spell!

Don’t listen to him or his wife.

I didn't hear this speech so can't comment. Just to mention the hand holding thing though. My partner (the one who dumped me) and I always held hands and I miss it more than I can say.
Maybe it's H & M's sign of affection for each other rather than affectation. Possibly?

Why do they need a public display of their affection ,holding
hands whilst walking to their seats in a church !

DH and I always hold hands now or we might fall over!
Harry seems to think he has somehow inherited his mother's role and ability but it doesn't quite work and is beginning to look a bit desperate.

I agree that does seem a bit overblown!

That made me laugh lulu. TBH Mr. S. and I do holds a lot but maybe that's not a bad thing because when we do need too to keep one another from falling over, no one but us will know.

Or….why not ? I’m quite happy to acknowledge errors of judgment from these two,in what they have said etc, and certainly I don’t think Harry is necessarily the sharpest knife in the drawer but why pick on silly things like the hand holding?

The holding hands doesn't bother me either way but the back and arm rubbing doesn't do it for me.

It would annoy me Joseanne especially the back rubbing, it would make me feel like a small child.

Holding hands in Church, I have done so, held my parents hand when a tot, held my daughters hands when they were tots, can it be Harry needs the same hand holding he had with his mother

He didn't look too pleased either.

I’m inclined to say often that nobody knows what goes on in other peoples marriages and I think that’s relevant here. It’s their business. Interviews and speeches and book releases are fair game but their affection, married life, etc are not IMO.

Precisely. They are working for Netflix. But judging the bad position Netflix isin, for how much longer?

Center of attention! Meghan and Prince Harry were 'seated in the middle' of Robert De Niro's NYC restaurant where other patrons were warned by security team that they'd be 'asked to leave' if they snapped pictures of them
