Prince Harry’s speech

Glorianny she has achieved much but at what cost to others,
i cannot respect her.

That's always the excuse used to diss successful women. Partly because other women jealous of their success choose to malign them and some choose to believe everything they hear.

So apparently Meghan objects to sexist jokes and wasn't able to appear on Strictly.

Who does she think she is, honestly? No wonder people have a go at her.

Tom Bower doesn’t appear to have any understanding of the monarchy if he thinks it’s about “hard work with little reward”. It is all about endless reward and almost no work. Would be good to see
@GMB have some more sensible and balanced commentary on the royals.

Here’s an idea - why don’t the sordid little Windsor clan take their petty, internecine squabbles and sling their collective hooks, allowing Britain to become a grown-up, 21st century democracy without the absurdity of hereditary titles in this day and age?

how do you throw a cup of tea in the air? does it have to remain in the actual cup? ad would it come straight back down all over you?

Someone on another thread despised the use of the expression 'tittle-tattle' but that is exactly what Tom Brewer's book is based on; it doesn't necessarily mean it is untrue, just unverifiable.

He maintains all claims have been supported (verified)by at least two people.

I find I'm liking her more and more. Telling Harry's friends off for sexism was great. Not able to do Strictly because she was working and embarrassed because she doesn't like her feet. She's actually pretty normal . As for the abrasive bit, so many of the traditional Brits I know find Americans hard to deal with because they are so direct.

Harry's wife was not a famous actress, and certainly not a household name by any means, her treatment of her father, whatever his faults, is shabby to say the least. As for the Oprah show! The blatant lies told in that were unforgivably awful. I have little time for Archbishop Welby, but he didn't deserve to be subjected to that sort of embarrassment. I just can't understand how or why Harry allowed her to say all those fabrications, but I guess he was probably frightened of her, it certainly looks that way now. No wonder people are worried about him. Beautiful wife , handsome children, lovely home, no money worries? Should be the happiest time of his life but it clearly isn't.

1) You don't have to be a household name with Grannies in the UK to be considered "famous".

2) Her father is estranged from 4 of his grandchildren, we only hear about the 2 that he can make money from.

3) I think Welby will survive the ignominy. Not that there was any.

4) I very much doubt Harry is frightened of Meghan, that is a bizarre thing to say.

5) Why do you think he's not happy? Looks happy enough to me. Is it because some gutter press or unapproved biographer tells you so? That's projection of the highest order.

Like I said above - no sense of proportion. Or maybe I should have said "reality".

I hope they’re paying you well, volver. ?

I do it for the fun of it. And there's lots of fun to be had ? And who knows, maybe a psychology PhD in what drives the public perception of certain minor Royals.

Unlike some Grans, I don't think everybody is motivated by money.

oh, Harry is alright...... volver says 'He looks okay to her'.

well that's alright then.

Will nobody save this poor man?

No, nobody has told me so, but his the camera doesn't lie and he certainly looks full of anger, bitterness, resentment and sadness. As for his wife's acting career, I think even us Grans, usually via our teenage/20 something grandchildren, would have been wised up before the wedding as to the familiarity of the bride with the world at large, if such familiarity existed. Mine + their friends had never heard of this actress, or Suits come to that. Unpleasant comment about Thomas Markle. Have you verification that we only hear about two grandchildren because he can make money out of them? I certainly didn't know that.

Oh, sorry, my mistake.

Its OK to make really nasty and unsubstantiated comments about Meghan because she deserves it, but any suggestion that anybody who disagrees with Meghan about ANYTHING might be in it for nefarious reasons is absolutely not allowed.

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7002857/The-American-cousins-Baby-Sussex-never-know-estranged-Thomas-Markle-Sr-too.html It is the Mail so it must be true.

This fascinates me, it really does. It is like a cult.

Jaberwok my granddaughters had never heard of Megan, I
can’t find anything about this mega star winning acting awards.

I have missed Mr Markle selling stories about his grandchildren and I do agree some Americans are direct, Trump is an example.

Going on a very well known chat show and lying seems acceptable to some, not to me. Different values obviously.

Or here.

I think Suits, the programme Meghan was in, was moderately popular in Canada. It wasn’t well known in the UK. Not sure about America.

Annie I must say you have a grand imagination.

One can be famous and not win awards.

Nobody has said Markle sold stories about his grandchildren, only you. There are many ways to make money out of people.

I haven't watched the Interview from Hell so I don't know if she lied or not. But I'd really like you to stop disparaging my values and morals. Ta very much.

I think a PhD in Psychology might be too difficult for me (Bear of little brain), but there is an online Masters Degree in COMMUNICATION, BEHAVIOUR AND CREDIBILITY ANALYSIS. Basically you get to observe others' behaviour and then work out what makes them tick! Harry and Meghan would be ideal material for my dissertation, or is that thesis?
It's all bonkers, as is a comment that Prince George smiling and looking happy for his 9th birthday photo could be actually be dying inside. We don't know.

We don't know.

Quite. Doesn't stop the presentation of speculation as gospel truth and the character assassination though, does it?

maddyone

Or here.

Remind me never to have my photo taken unless I'm smiling from ear to ear. It could be used in evidence against me.

You've only got to read the bile on here to see why they wanted the h*ll out of Britain.

With you on this, GagaJo.
