bloody whinging royals

I know Callistemon - H has been doing the job for 35 years and M had a global brand for a number of years. Even if the RF brand came as a surprise to her she still knows a thing or 2 from her global ambassador days, her acting career and her worldwide blog (since closed) . These are 2 very savvy media people who know a fair amount of the importance of image and of getting people to help you build and sustain that image. It’s a business they know very well.

Media savvy

I think that Harry has been doing a few other things, school, Army etc, over the years, and is only now more high profile.
He did learn the hard way, though, when he had to walk behind his mother's coffin. He should never have been made to do that.

I'm sure Meghan would be quick to learn the royal 'ropes' but is anyone is actually teaching her!

Do we know Harry was made to walk behind the coffin or did William want to and Harry wanted to do the same .

Would Megan take advice ?

Yes he has been doing other things, but he’s grown up immersed in it - he’s well aware of the RF brand.

As for M not being taught - perhaps it’s more a case of not listening? Surely to goodness it would have been one of the first things she would have insisted on learning and H insisted that she was helped with. It’s not as if there aren’t enough existing members of, and incomers to, the family they have access to.

Now and again? It's constant from wealthy privileged people who haven't a clue how "ordinary" people live and get on with difficulties without moaning. Sick of the two of them who could walk away from all this but I guess the money talks.

Some of you will find this interesting in today's i newspaper

I can’t open that link hallgreen?

Perhaps the article has been removed.

Is it maybe behind a paywall?

I wouldn't pay to read someone complaining about Meghan.
I can log on here and read that kind of thing for nothing!

article here

Interestingly article, thank you

Newly married and recently become parents . They are going through huge changes , and all under the never ending glare of the spotlight of the press who seem to delight in chipping away at them.
Yes they are privileged, and live lives that most of us can only dream about, but please let’s give them a break, and if the press can’t write anything pleasant about them, they shouldn’t write anything,
Yes they have to come to terms with living life in the public eye , and people are always going to be interested in them , but let them have time to adjust, or if they decide to do so ,to retire from public life.

Good article - sums it up nicely

Yes, thank you for the link Gonegirl, the previous one wouldn’t open. I think it sums the situation up very nicely.

Seems to me that journalist luuurves Harry And hates Meghan.

Daft cow.

Oh. It's a man.

Maybe he luuurves Harry?

Come on Gone, it’s 2019

Why does criticising mean hating by some on this forum ?

I agree, Annie any negative comments are described as vitriol.

But I called him a daft cow Sirchenjin.

Keep up at the back.

No - you called her a daft cow.

Must try harder - F minus

True merlotgran , but not on the political threads !

I must confess to not having seen the interview and not knowing anything about it until I saw this thread but the interview does seem to have been mistimed.

I'm not going to join in with Meghan/Harry bashing except to say that they do not seem to have any self-awareness or any concept of how others less fortunate than them have to struggle just to survive.

Or how those who do consider themselves quite fortunate have to travel, to wait in NHS queues, to work in jobs which are dull and monotonous, and watch their budgets.
