Or should that be, Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation would like to remind everyone who they are??

Somewhere amongst the self congratulatory photos of themselves doing great works đŸ€” is a pic of their children taken from behind.

Pointless?

Exactly Missinterpretive, Harry & Megan are the 'Whipping Boy's' of the British press. Its appalling as the shabby tabloids have so much sway over certain sections of the UK population!
I'm not a Royalist but it's so sad for Harry &Megan and their innocent little family. đŸ€”

But this isn't from the press. This is all their own story. Or their own truth as they like to say.

Lucky you if you've managed to avoid the stuff they've said about the RF . The press, who I have no time for, don't have to do much at all!

As I've mentioned before , I am sad for their children. They have missed out on so much and soon they will be able to see what their parents have said. It's just very sad.

Please remind me- to have red haired children the parents use have red hair somewhere on BOTH sides of the family, yes?
How does that it in with Meghan's 43% Nigerian background?

Meghan's father may carry a recessive red haired gene which passed to Meghan then to his grandchildren.

Wow! What a load of nasty vitriolic posts today.

It surely is the season of goodwill to all.

But, you read them all didn't you!

Really!!! I've never seen anyone claim that Charles, William and Kate can do no wrong.

Maybe not in so many words...but that's how most of these posts come across. H&M = bad. W&K = good.

As must my husband. I come from a red haired family but there are no redheads in recent memory in my husband's family. Some of our children have red hair. It is a recessive gene that can pass down generations before revealing itself.

We have a red haired daughter (well, more copper than bright red) but neither of us has red hair nor have our parents.
Another one is blonde, one dark, I'm kind of in between 😀

Well, if you believe some on here, Charles can do no wrong, along with William and Kate. Oh, if only

Hmmmm... let me think.... đŸ€« Well I know for sure that neither William nor Catherine have tried to scam their granny into allowing a press photographer in when their children were with HMQE. And I can't recall, but feel free to remind me, of the time that William and Catherine went on national television to complain bitterly about other members of their family and told some provable porkies that they later denied. And although both William and Harry have grown up in the same international public glare, I can't recall William begging/pleading/demanding privacy of their private life whilst, at the same time, revealing so much detail of his first sexual encounter -- county/pub/field-- that, in less than 24 hours, the national press were able to track his poor sexual partner down, thereby propelling her into an unwanted and unwarranted public glare; respect for privacy of her private life didn't count apparently. I'm aware that both William and Harry have served in the armed forces but, as far as I'm aware, William didn't find it appropriate to publicly state how many "enemies" he'd killed, his personal feelings about doing so at the time and, by doing so, put his still serving colleagues with a bullseye on their heads his colleagues still haven't forgiven him for that apparently.

Some people must have had ear plugs in during the various interviews and discussions that H+M took part in a couple of years ago. They were extremely uncomplimentary about various members of the royal family to the point of having absolutely no ability to be even slightly discreet. I didn’t even watch the interview but I saw parts of it on the news and parts of other interviews on the news.

Frankly I’m not interested in them, nor have I watched their Netflix interviews or anything else unless I cannot avoid it as it’s on the news.

But how anyone can say they’re a lovely young couple defeats me since nobody on here knows them, so how can they know that they’re lovely?

From what I have heard I have concluded that they are self interested and entitled in actual fact. But I don’t know them and don’t really care.

Freshair Wed 18-Dec-24 23:34:29

The dogs look confused. I don't like the picture it's overacted by the parents and makes me feel a bit sad

Anniebach Wed 18-Dec-24 23:41:54

Grunty so right, and Catherine hasn’t told the world she and William had secret wedding ceremony conducted by Arch Bishop of Canterbury , M did then Arch Bishop had to deny it,
Catherine has never told the world her passport was taken off her when they were living in Windsor, M did but didn’t tell the world how she flew to America for a baby shower, William has never told the world that when the late queen was very ill in
Balmoral he flew from America to check if she was being looked after ! he has never spoken of seeing the late queen after
she had died and what he said to her dead body, H did

Not in the press, in their many tv interviews

Maybe it might be their last Christmas there in sunny California, because who knows what will happen when DT is sworn in in January?
Merry CHRISTMAS to all the GN 😊

People really need to get over this couple. The nastiness has now made folks into geneticists. If you are questioning the lineage of these children, please do some soul searching. It’s not healthy to stoop so low over people who don’t care we exist. Same for those who say little to nothing or worse, defend Slimy Andrew while raging over this couple.

I too feel sorry for their children. Sorry that they were burdened birth into this dysfunctional waste of public funds we call the Royal family. Sorry that vicious strangers on the internet obsesses over their parents and would have vicious comments to make about their appearances if they were over-exposed, as evidenced by this thread. I used to be indifferent about this couple. Now I hope they last until death to spite all of the people who root against them. Truly.

Anniebach Thu 19-Dec-24 08:18:04

Your choice to defend liars , my choice to criticise them

Oreo Thu 19-Dec-24 08:18:37

Who’s defending Andrew? Truly hmm

MissAdventure Thu 19-Dec-24 08:31:38

I'm beginning to wonder MissAdventure.

I'm sure you can't Annie. smile
It just seems an awful thing to focus on as christmas approaches.

That's only my opinion, and I won't say anymore, I promise

MissA sorry, I jest

Yes, because the rest of the Royal Family are bastions of truth Hahaha! A long line of decent, truthful, moral, upstanding examples for us faithful “subjects” to follow.

Goodness, your post is full of contradictions!

So are these thoughts and remarks healthy?
Slimy Andrew
this dysfunctional waste of public funds we call the Royal family
Quite ironic.
But amusing nonetheless

Now I hope they last until death to spite all of the people who root against them.
What a very strange remark.

MOnica, it's strange and wonderful isn't it how the Windsors maintain their fascinating mystique even after the most recent Prince Andrew scandal and the man's finances.

No, we are not subjects. You may be but most of us are not according to the legal definition,

So many mistruths circulating.

What a silly remark.

Most is us can think for ourselves and prefer to have a Constitutional monarchy with its imperfections, when we look around the world and observe the various presidential systems and their problems.

Caleo Thu 19-Dec-24 11:43:38

Allira, I used to think so but have changed my mind since about three or four months ago.
