I never thought I would start a Meghan and Harry thread but...... had gone

Anniebach I don't know who W&K are

MissInterpreted William and Kate

The Princess of Wales calls herself Catherine, William calls her Catherine, she has expressed her wish to be referred to as Catherine and yet still she gets referred to as Kate by posters and the press. I wonder why this rudeness only extends to her and none of the other members of the family?

I don't think Harry and Meghan would have been criticised had they not gone to the area, there must be plenty of absences that have not been criticised, but there's no reason why they shouldn't go if they wish.

also learn from mistakes and be able to change I think that's the problem though Franksi, they don't appear to have done either of those.

Oh dear! Meghan and Harry. Another excuse to knock them. If really disliked surely the best thing would be to ignore? I can’t understand the vitriol they generate from most who have never met them.

Whilst I agree with these thoughts, I think M & H got so far under people's skin in the past that, for many, ignoring them is not an option.

Having said that, with most people, myself included, the dislike towards them has now turned to boredom or to mere irriration because they are of such little significance.
We were at a function today, with a family member in the military who is being sent to Vancouver Whistler for the Invictus Games in two weeks' time. People were keen to ask whether Harry would be attending, ("unlikely, not heard he will be there"), or what input Harry would have, (very little, he's purely the face of the games, nothing more").
I guess that's the problem for Harry now. To find some kind of personal fulfilment.

Honestly am disappointed but not surprised this thread started. I am not a H&M fan at all, and have had no sympathy for them in all the RF stuff. But as others have said here, they would be criticised whatever they did. And I doubt anyone who was hugged in LA by Meghan was revulsed or complained. More likely they felt honoured and happy by the celeb visit. More widely, it feels as though H&M have been written off so thoroughly by the British public that there is nothing good or right or noble they will ever do to redeem all the daft and ridicuolous things they have said and done. But seriously.....are we critics all so perfect...? .aren't all of us allowed to fail, mess up, but also learn from mistakes and be able to change? I am holding out hope for H&M and feel that endless cynicism and Schadenfreude both fuels media hype diminishes all of us.

So much for Christian tolerance and forgiveness. Everyone lies at some point in their lives. Granted, some lies are worse than than others. However, as I said, at least they are doing something to help those poor people, whatever their motives may be. They're not the only 'celebrities' to have done so.

Rather distasteful discussion really. People are losing their lives and homes and this is the focus? Outrageous.

True and their lies have been brutal, also they cannot be trusted

When you've behaved as they have done, IMO it's understandable that their motives are questioned.

There is always doubt, sadly this happens with liars and those two have a long record of lies

Harry looks as if he deliberately moves to block a camera in the video.
He turns his back and moves around.

Their lies involve other people

So they can never do any good in the world - because they told lies?

The fact that they have done this is likely to encourage others to do the same so their contribution becomes magnified. All good.

It has been reported they made two visits, on the second visit
a photographer from Fox News was there taking the photographs which can be seen on social media

Yes, Fox news, not "their own" camera crew.

Did they really take their own camera crew?

No

The cameras and journalists are everywhere reporting on this tragedy.

Yes, but not 'their own' camera crew

Harry and Meghan will never be forgiven by many for "throwing their family under a bus" for the whole world to see so anything they do now will be open to criticism.p

Anniebach

Thank you, yes I criticise liars

I'm not sure how they lied in relation to this particular incident though. Surely someone can lie about something - yet still help people?

Anniebach

If thousands had turned up to help?

I suppose if wwe could do something practical and not just get in the way. 🙂

They are only doing the same at thousands of us do when there's a critical incident.......so why all the hype because they have a title????

Do thousands of us go to where there is a critical incident?
Probably not, and no-one would miss us because we're not high profile so no-one would notice if we didn't turn up.

I will just say, though, to the poster who criticised other members of the Royal Family for going to comfort people when there is a disaster, this is what is expected of them and they'd be even more highly criticised if they failed to turn up.
They do quietly donate large sums to charities too.

Don’t we just donate money and whatever items we are told are needed, be there to help whatever charity is distributing food etc if that doesn’t get in the way of the authorities? We would follow the advice and requirements of local authorities and charities rather than doing our own thing and seeking to be in limelight wouldn’t we?

Thank you, yes I criticise liars

Anniebach

Slagging off ? What does it mean ?

Criticising
