The Sussexes ....again

Yesterday on our local BC news, both television and print, had the titles

"Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in Whistler for Invictus Games Training".

I was curious why they used that headline, rather than using their official titles. Then I questioned their actual titles and how they should be addressed. I googled it, but admit I'm still a bit confused. He is a prince by birth, but not using the title now, so should be addressed as a Duke?

Should the headline have read 'The Duke and Duchess of Sussex..." instead? Even CBC which is funded by government much like your BBC used "Prince Harry and Meghan..." which I thought was odd.

I wonder about the media's reasons for using such casual titles, and even using Meghan's maiden name when they've been married for 8 years.

The point of the coat is to show off your forearms and wrists, creating a sporty, youthful look

If only it just took a new coat ........

I am rather a number of years over 40. 🤔

If they could guarantee it would do this "The point of the coat is to show off your forearms and wrists, creating a sporty, youthful look." I'd wear one.

Why is nobody mentioning the gloves ? Is it just another example of nobody reading posts, or am I missing something?

Joseann and I were having a nice little discussion about Meghan's gloves. We don't mind others joining in. I'm still not sure which ones Callistemon21 wants.

Well, the lovely soft $240 ones but I wasn't sure about the colour.
Of course, I could always buy a new outfit to go with the gloves and I suppose the jacket would need ¾ length sleeves.
Really need to update my wardrobe.

Megan seems to attract the type who choose to speak of hate and hate fest , so untrue
But that is what these threads are about . Hate . Which I won’t ignore . How rude GSM .

Suppose one need to feel hate to think of hate, I dislike the couple.

Somebody might have clicked on the wrong article but I am all for change of subject !

Syracute Tue 20-Feb-24 18:52:44

I absolutely did and would not recommend ANY article from the DM . You misunderstood . I just read the titles . These articles are pure click bait and rarely are truthful . They want to increase the readership . The amount of people commenting on DM s articles with H and M Are always a ridiculous number .

‘thought the interview and books were insightful’

But criticise the press, !

Daily Mail is not news . It’s sensationalism . Sadly, it is the most read newspaper in the U.K. . I look to see the various article titles for the exact reason to review what is being featured as any H and M article is going to be salacious and always triggers hate remarks and daft discussions here . I mean this discussion has criticised her lack of gloves , the position of her hands and if she should hug or not ???!!!!!!! They have not been in the news much lately until the Invictus Games . Then the DM pounces with a flurry of nonsense articles and the GN H and M haters show their true colours.

I took a look at the DM article you recommended, Syracute, reporting about the Invictus Games, and it seemed quite factual, not at all salacious or nonsenseand had some lovely pictures of Harry and Meghan.

I am puzzled about where you get your news from.

I’m not sure why you are bothering with this discussion Syracute. If you don’t care for it, scroll on.

I do wish that when you quoted a post with a photo that photo was reproduced as well.
Which are you going for Callistemon21 the $240 in my picture or the £26.99 pictured in Joseann's post?

Callistemon21 Tue 20-Feb-24 11:19:51

They look lovely.

Do they do them in other colours?

Glorianny Tue 20-Feb-24 11:14:40

Joseann

Hi Glorianny, here you go, I've found you these in my lunch break! I think they are £26.99. There are cheaper ones, and some have different coloured fingers. Ideal to wear with your camel cashmere coat, or with your gardening jacket?

I think these are probably more similar- bargain at only $240!
There's suede and then there's ssssuede-so soft it's like velvet. You wouldn't garden in them .I have a pair of vintage cream leather gloves which are so soft.

We forget William had a larger bedroom, so sad

Love it Annie! Who would think a middle-aged man would still be whining about that?

Just how large are bedrooms in palaces and castles?

Just be thankful you didn't have to bunk up with siblings, Harry.
