Apparently Prince Harry compares his wife Meghan the same as princess diana.
Don’t think she is anything like her, no I don’t know her personally. My own opinion if anyone is compared to princess diana is Catherine/kate.
And anything that Harry and Meghan try to do then Prince William & Catherine can do better.

Was new word to me too Rosiemaw. Couldn't find the exact spelling (found puelline) but I think it means girlish or childish. Bumface?

Yes, I eventually found puelline too , presumably the feminine form of puerile

Moral - when trying to impress with big words, get them right grin

And don’t use apostrophes wrongly.

I’m just amazed at a poster with the moniker “bumface* could be so articulate.

Who are you quoting Bumface ?

Himself?

Could be herself, of course.

Definitely derogatory

Callistemon213 Mon 08-Jul-24 09:54:11

Whatever puellaine is, it is probably related to females and meant to be derogatory therefore a sexist remark. There could be male members of GN on here too.

Well said Allsorts.

Georgesgran Mon 08-Jul-24 09:28:38

My thoughts too Allsorts.
I was older than Diana, but we all dressed in that same sort of ‘uniform’ and somehow identified with her - no idea why.
It brought home how fragile life could be when a young mum went off for a break and never came back.

The dead can’t defend themselves, you don't know the whole picture. What we do know is Diana lit up a room. People wanted to be with her, she was kind and compassionate. She had lots of problems because of an insecure childhood. To find out she was never loved by the husband she adored must have broken her again. She was publicly betrayed. How would you feel? She died young leaving her two boys.

I liked the pictures of Catherine in trouser suits the best, but Meghan looked okay too.

maddyone Mon 08-Jul-24 00:00:46

I think Diana had a raw deal. She married a man who still loved another woman. How many of us would have reacted badly if we found out that the man we married only a couple of years before was continuing a relationship with the woman he was seeing before we married him?

I don’t think Meghan is at all like Diana. Diana came from a wealthy family and so she wasn’t interested in money. Meghan has milked her royal connections to make herself rich. That’s a very big difference.

we both know its wrong.
Goodnight.

Anniebach Sun 07-Jul-24 23:21:30

That is the choice of each individual

nadateturbe Sun 07-Jul-24 23:02:21

One can Anniebach. One can also say unkind things when one knows one shouldn't.

Anniebach Sun 07-Jul-24 22:28:55

One can repeat what someone says without judging ,

nadateturbe Sun 07-Jul-24 21:54:48

She can't defend herself Anniebach and we didn't walk in her shoes. We have no right to judge her.

NotSpaghetti Sun 07-Jul-24 20:41:25

Unfortunately Jane and flappergirl - it was skirt suits mainly which didn't suit her because of her waistline.
The off white trouser suit above is nice as it covers her middle bit. 👍

Anniebach Sun 07-Jul-24 20:36:59

Is speaking the truth speaking ill?

nadateturbe Sun 07-Jul-24 20:20:17

It's not nice to speak ill of Diana.
