bloody whinging royals

No tittle tattle, just saying I find it most strange

Annie, only Meghan & her family know the real details & truth of their family,& I have no interest in the tittle tattle sound bites

I am sure they do realise that, unfortunately the nature of reporting , interviews , sound bites etc is at times counterproductive. Especially with newspapers etc wanting or choosing an angle to pitch at.
Prince Charles rarely gets recognition for what he has done in providing training for so many young people who have gone on to have skills , jobs & careers .

I don’t recall any accusations of vitriol or hate on the Andrew thread,

Certainly Bridgeit I was thinking of Megan only inviting one
member of her family to her wedding , I can understand not inviting some family members but an entire family both paternal and maternal sides ?

Despite the fact that I believe in having a monarchy, I can see its faults as well as the benefits.

Yep!

They had no choice in their existence, Bridgeit but that doesn't mean they shouldn't consider those less fortunate and I don't mean those benefitting from their charities but ordinary folk who might be feeling a bit let down by their self-centred moaning.

Surely it must occur to them that grief affects each and every one of us sooner or later. Harry was (in his own words) doing OK. I fear Meghan is stirring it all up again.

maddyone I think the difference between the OP and me is that I believe in an apolitical monarchy as being the most cost-effective and stable way of having a Head of State but the OP is a staunch republican.

Despite the fact that I believe in having a monarchy, I can see its faults as well as the benefits.

This kind of behaviour and that of certain other royals adds fuel to the Rrepublican cause, unfortunately.

The one before

I don’t understand your last comment Anniebach can you explain please

And who Bridgeit has critcised the entire family , with the exception of republicans? I certaintly haven’t.

Like wise Annie.
Unfortunately with social media etc it can soon turn from opinions into something a bit darker .

Any family can have a bad egg, but an entire family , both maternal and paternal ?

The Queen supports 510 charities
RF support 2415 in Britain
Worldwide 300.
Prince Charles , provides employment & training for young people
They are employees to many many folks
Not just in Windsor but Scotland & other areas
It is not just a one way street.

Callistemon, I think you have brought us full circle, Paddyann started the thread, with pretty much the same sentiments that you have described. I will always feel a bit sorry for Harry, for losing his mother, as if that’s not bad enough, but in the full glare of the world. I think the royals were right to try to keep the boys in privacy at Balmoral, but the public and the press were pushing for the family to appear in London. How horribly traumatic for those young boys.

Meghan is a different matter. She is no Catherine. She seeks attention and prestige, and it seems will do anything to get it. For me, the fact that she can so easily ditch her family is what makes her dislikeable, for me family is everything. I could NEVER ditch my beloved family, and believe me, there have been occasions! But I would never do it, whatever they did. She has thrown her family away, except for her mother. It’s totally unacceptable.

What is hateful to you Bridgeit is criticism to me.

I give my opinions, as do you ,

I do think that they are both in need of advice and help and hope that they receive some and heed it very soon.

Yes, I wonder how we would feel if this was our DD or DGD? I hope her mother isn't aware of some of the vitriol out there some of which is far worse than on GN.

Some of the criticism on here is hateful, I’m sure if it were our own families we would certainly be affected by it. Why would anyone assume that they would not be affected , Some seem to think wealth is a cushion of protection . They had no choice in their existence, as none of us do, it seems a shame & counterproductive to continually knock them when they do actually use their position in many positive ways.

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.

True merlotgran , but not on the political threads !

No - you called her a daft cow.

Must try harder - F minus

But I called him a daft cow Sirchenjin.

Keep up at the back.

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

Why does criticising mean hating by some on this forum ?

Maybe he luuurves Harry?

Come on Gone, it’s 2019
