No matter what the facts are this is going to be reported on as being an official royal tour. This tour will be fully publicised in the press and have a lot of coverage perhaps to the detriment of the rest of the royal family.

Comparisons could be made between ‘youthful’ and energetic H and M and the elderly ailing king and Catherine also ailing.

Surely this is a kick in the teeth to Charles and William. I think their titles need to be removed asap, as I don’t think that H and M will ever stop trading on the RF name that they no longer want to be associated with.

I have been watching the Michael Palin documentary from Nigeria, not sure how popular H & M will be when they arrive.

There is an anti British feeling which comes across several times in the programme particularly when the subject of their artefacts which are in the British Museum which the Nigerian Government and people want returned.

The British Foreign Office advises against travel to all parts of Nigeria. Harry will no doubt blame his lack of UK tax payer funded security if anything goes wrong.

Does Meghan accompany Harry when he is pursuing his court cases in London?
Will she accompany Harry when he attends the service in St. Paul's Cathedral on May 8th to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus games.
No. Thought not.

Would have the Invictus Games without Harry? He used his title then but nobody complained. Imagine being in his position knowing that you are a RF member but of no consequence. It must be very depressing but his support for veteran and injured soldiers is as good as anybody's.

You consider Princess Anne, Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh
of no significance ?

Frankly, this couple make me sick 🤮
The ginger and the whinger
If I never heard their names again , it would be too soon
The nerve of them ! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

I feel sad for you Sadoldwoman!

ixion Sun 05-May-24 12:09:41

Would Meghan then not be known as Princess Henry, like Princess Michael of Kent?

Can't see that going down too well.

Sadoldwoman Sun 05-May-24 12:06:25

That’s lovely, I’ll look forward to reading about their tour of Nigeria.

Although it rankles, if H & M were stripped of their Duke and Duchess titles, they would, officially, be known as Prince and Princess. Which is worse?

H and M no longer have HRH titles. So not sure why this would be reported as an official royal tour when they aren’t officially working royals!! They can report the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are touring or even Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex are touring but not HRH. etc. not a royal tour at all. They’ve just become ‘celebrities’ now, something to fill the tabloids with!

Laughable. Wasting a lot of Nigerian time.

Some of us are giving attention to people we are saying do not deserve attention.

👏👏👏

Megan seems to think she is the main event, why a speech apologising for being a little late for the games,

Megan will continue to be very much involved, there are cameras

I'm sure my DH wouldn't have wanted me there when he was chairing meetings, giving lectures ....
A distraction from the main event.

There's no need for Meghan to be involved, she has her own fish to fry.

Presumably using her exclusive cookware and American Rivera Orchard sustainable Olive Oil.

I rarely agree with Gloryanny when it comes to H&M threads but I can’t find any reports about Mike Tindall being given a prominent position in Invictus.

It’s just speculation and fake news.

No-one's told him yet.

As I said previously, it's Harry's dream project, very successful, and Harry should continue with it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Princess Charlotte.

The only connection i could think of

Katie59 Thu 02-May-24 10:03:21

The Tindalls don’t have any Royal profile, no formal title and don’t have duties to perform, in contrast to Princess Anne who does a great deal.
They have Royal cousins but can’t change that, all very low profile, maybe later in life they will do more, we will see.

Anniebach Thu 02-May-24 09:45:36

Sorry, prominent in the royal family
