Prince Harry’s speech

Meghan has brought so much bad feeling and backstabbing into the Royal Family, it is really tragic. All these books written not only by them but others, telling lurid tales from behind the scenes, who said what and who did what. It's horrible.

I'm not very keen on Lady Colin but she has a point that there are definite parallels with M and RV. On the other thread, someone here mentioned how the mention of mental health issues conveniently comes into play when someone feels wronged, not that I am dismissing them outright.
It's just that I start to feel uncomfortable about all the claims lies which suddenly surface in these laying it bare interviews.

women with no apparent talent who think they know everything.

Says the woman who claims descent from Charlemagne and married someone she had known for only 5 days before getting divorced a year later. Yet still uses his name 50 years later. Don't know about you, but I hang on her every word.

Lady Colin Campbell has a few choice things to say about Meghan and likens her to Rebekah Vardy. She says both are 'women with no apparent talent who think they know everything.'

Just to keep everyone up to speed ...
it's time for Tom Bower to move over because Scobie has just announced he can now share he is working on a BRAND NEW BOOK!! Apparently the whole world will be talking about it, so GN isn't that different!! What with Harry's own memoirs later this year it is all getting a bit silly, tit for tat, but at least my dog gets more paper chewing in!

I am not at all sure that he is coping well with life in the US, but that is his choice after all.
I do try not to read about his ramblings or that of Meghan either.
the stardust of British Royalty may start to wear thin soon.

Harry did well! I’m really happy he is finding his way out in the world.

I agree Chestnut. I believe he is sincere but you’re right, nothing inspiring.

Oh for goodness sake. ???

We have been instructed to get back to title of thread

I decided to watch it and struggled through. It was very dreary although he made his points quite well and didn't seem to need prompting which was impressive. He seemed sincere, but it was all so depressing and hardly inspirational.

Not sure why you’ve aimed that at me.

Because you were wondering about the earlier deletions and I had some information about it? That's how conversations work. ?

Regarding the reason for deletions, it seems I was right then. You really don't understand how this works. ?

Don’t understand the crying with laughter emoji. Have you said something funny?

You haven’t informed me of the reason why several of your posts were deleted. In fact you haven’t informed me of anything and I know exactly how ‘this’ works.

Now, let’s get back to the OP. Anyone else have an opinion on Harry’s speech?

Lucca

I think saying posters have no life or a sad life is appalling and shows no understanding of how hard “life” is for some people.

It is Lucca

You certainly do not, Anniebach

I think some posters have been on GN for many years, formed relationships (and by that I do not mean cliques) and helped one another through troubled times.
Others who are relatively new may not know some people's backgrounds and may not be able to understand how throwaway comments such as "Get a life" or "You must lead a sad life to think that" might hurt.

Other people may not share their troubles on GN but still have their own troubles.

I'm not saying posts should be sugary sweet, we need robust debate, but perhaps we need to be more mindful of others' feelings.

You don’t Annie

Thank you Lucca I am one whom it seems deserves mocking,

I think saying posters have no life or a sad life is appalling and shows no understanding of how hard “life” is for some people.

I could write things about you though Chestnut that were unacceptable. Then other posters could come along and say that I was right, and gang up on you. You might be OK with that but that's not the sign of a sensible society, its like Primary 2. I could compare you to an animal, as was done to somebody else, earlier on this thread. We can't just tut-tut and leave it be.

volver If anybody ever wants to report me, they can. I've been deleted a few times and I take it as GN's decision because this is their site.
I would never report you volver. I think we should all be seen in our true colours and let other people decide what they think of us, our opinions, and the way we talk to others.

Volver ^^Yeah, I think someone was reported for doing a character assassination on me and making very insulting comments about another GN member who is generally thought by everyone to be one of the "good guys". It wasn't me who reported

Not sure why you’ve aimed that at me. You had several comments deleted so it was you who was being reported obviously. As for character assassination I find it happens all the time. I’d prefer to have it out rather than go reporting but hey, we’re all different.

Do as I say not as I do seems to be the preferred option for some on GN.

I noticed there were several deleted posts before mine was reported but I have no idea what the content was as they had already been deleted before I had chance to read them. Obviously there had been a lot of offensive comments. I’ll leave it there

Its certainly not going to make a difference to me if you think we should just rise above everything. ?

People make posts here that, if they made those comments in a public place, would result in them being asked to leave the building for inappropriate behaviour.

There are rules about posting on GN. Live by the rules. Aren't we grown up enough to do that?

Merlot post is a fair observation.
Will it make a difference? Unfortunately its unlikely.
