Appletree21, brazen and stupid!

The US often does stuff differently 😁
Here in the UK Valentines Day has been about the love and romance between a couple or even for a boy to give a girl flowers or a card who he barely knows.One of my DD’s was presented with a rose at the bus stop when she was 17.

Yes they do!

It's a time old tradition here in Britain, first recorded association with Valentine's Day in one of Geoffrey Chaucer's works 1382 in which he portrayed a parliament of birds choosing their mates. Honouring fifteen year old King Richard 11's engagement to 15 year old Anne of Bohemia"

Here it's about declared or undeclared love towards one's partner or someone who the sender of the card may have their eye on in a romantic context, or as a joke. It's obviously morphed into something quite different in the States.

Why indeed.

TBH I’m still appalled that they used our former Queen’s childhood pet name for their daughter. After all their slagging off of the RF, how brazen can you get?

Yes Witzend I absolutely agree.

imaround, Meghan shows herself to be fake while trying to convince the public she is authentic.
Why doctor a photo of a child and her dad??

Do now we are mad because they may have altered a photo? Interesting.

Yes very interesting, wasn't Catherine heavily mocked and criticised for altering a photo she released of her with her children. Might have been for Mothering Sunday.

That's good to know. A short course of antibiotics can be helpful if in doubt.

🤣🤣🤣
Thats if you can get an appointment to have them prescribed.

So not do...

It wasn’t a natural photo tho was it? Either fake or as another poster says, heavily doctored.

As said above Willian and Catherine would not post a photo of William and Charlotte to mark Valentines day...it's just off!
I don't think the photo is fake, just heavily doctored...
Meg never gives up but gets it wrong every time.

The OP was about her hair, not Valentines Day. The thread descended into a bunch of people being upset because, checks notes, people who live in the US are following US customs and posted a lovely photo with a father and daughter.

I think it’s a lovely photo of father and daughter, but I am saddened that like Brooklyn Beckham, Harry decided to publicly eviscerate his family.
If there were problems they needed to be discussed privately and not made into a regularly aired saga.

Here I absolutely agree!

Another me too.

They have not released all the names. They told you they released all the names.

I celebrated Valentine's Day with my kids their entire childhood. Here in the US, the schools have Valentine's Day parties where kids get to exchange little cards and candy. My own mother gave us Valentine's Day gifts my entire childhood, so not a new thing. My husband and I have never celebrated Valentine's Day in almost 30 years.

Nothing to do with romantic love in everyone's house. I believe I love my husband romantically every single day and do not believe in buying overpriced crap that will die.

It is a lovely photo of Lily and Harry which makes no difference in any of our lives.

I wonder how differently this thread had gone if it had been William and Charlotte in the OP.

Fake photo. Look at the size of the child's foot.

I think it’s fake too, the hand holding balloons is all wrong and one balloon has no string.

BlueBelle

Lovely father and daughter picture for Valentine’s Day it’s about love not just sexual love, that s just a bit of a money making modern stuff
Who the heck makes you all the ‘hair brush’ police can’t you just see a little girl with her loving Dad
Oh yes I forgot its Meghan the ‘most criticised’ of course let’s find something to have a go at her for
If it was a picture of William and daughter you d all be saying how wonderful

It’s been about romantic love and feelings for at least 130 years maybe longer.
If it had been William and daughter ( hair always looks good and pics are full face not a glimpse of nose) it would still be weird for Valentines Day.William and Catherine released lovely photos of the two of them together.

Fake photo maybe, but some genuinely unkind comments about a child.

Are all of the names revealed?

sixandahalf 😂

The Americans have released all the names on the Epstein files. The royals named are Andrew, Harry, Meghan. More yet to come out perhaps…..certainly in America more is known about Meghan than we are allowed to know over here.

2022 was the platinum jubilee for the late Queen, the only uk monarch to celebrate it

Yes Iam there are threads discussing the Yorks, why not more than one, thread on the royal family?

Indeed - how can M and H be criticised without reference to other members? In terms of comparing behaviour, there is nothing that M or H have done that comes close to AMW, SF and those that knew and protected him especially.

I don’t think it was AMW who was being protected, rather it was Queen Elizabeth. She would have been kept informed, but the advisers would have wanted to prevent any more becoming public knowledge.
