What would be said if the Duchess of Sussex had released the same?

It will probably have stag heads on the wall and tiger skin rugs.

I'm sure Louis will come into the kitchen wearing a tiger rug too. 😆

I don't think those items would be to Catherine's taste somehow.

So, Lathyrus, if you were seriously in the sort of danger where people were likely to attack you just for your status, for political or terrorist reasons, are you saying that you would not want adequate protection which might mean someone carrying a gun? If the moral high ground is going to get you killed are you going to take that chance?

I'm not entirely sure that Meghan has ever spoken candidly about there views on hunting but in 2020 it was reported that she was against Harry taking part in them because she disliked them. I don't think, but I could be wrong, that he has taken part in them since then. As for her stance on guns in general, she supports calls for safer gun laws which we know from her letter in 2022 to the Moms Demand Action group.

But I wouldn’t be taking the moral high ground🤔

If I thought a gun was necessary for my safety Id accept a gun was necessary for other people’s safety. Rather than wanting a law that took from others what I consist is necessary for me.

Just interesting to see how people can espouse a principle for others but when it affects them, it is always “different”. And always puzzling when others cant see the contradiction.

Ridiculous!

Allira when it comes to William and Catherine nothing is too ridiculous, absurd or made up for vegansrock The inside of their current home has been seen and didn't display any of those features, but hey why let the truth get in the way of yet another dig?

William and Catherine are moving to a new home before Christmas.
This has been officially confirmed.
Two families have had to leave their homes as they are too near the property.
“ they have been rehomed on the Windsor estate to properties equal to or better than the ones they previously occupied”
Well that’s ok then.

I believe they are estate workers so they will be tied cottages. I doubt they will be complaining about upgrades.

So you don't think there might be room for some safer gun controls in the USA? That's what she is supporting; hardly the moral high ground. How very dare she in a country which counts school massacres, high rates of gun accidents and suicide by gun! But, of course, it's Meghan so nothing she says will be nuanced.

You don’t see a contradiction in campaigning for one country to tighten up its gun laws on private individuals carrying guns.

Then demanding another country, that has strict gun laws, should relax them to enable the carrying of guns by private individuals?

To me the contradiction is in this obvious.

Well with the hate that is thrown at her and her family, I am not surprised she feels she needs protection and that is where the dichotomy lies. Personally I feel the contradiction is that they are not protected but that is a different conversation.

I think these video messages are so sickly, trite and patronising-and I'm no fan of hypocricy-anyone who enjoys shooting birds, and gets pleasure from killing for the sake of it, as she does, has no respect for nature, and no right to bleat on about "being kind" etc-double standards doesn't even begin to cover it.
