we had Harry all over the "news" earlier now his wife has joined in with the whinging about how hard their life is!! Honestly ..they should have to live the lives of millions in this country and then they would know how HARD life can get .Why is it NEWS anyway? If its so hard they can always walk away .

For goodness sake why don't they give all the money they've received from struggling British taxpayers to the homeless or poor folk trying to exist on zero hour contracts and get the hell out of the country. I'm sick to death of the dysfunctional RF. Shit happens to all of us..get over it or get out.

Don't answer that.

What would you like KALISSY? Stoning. hmm

KALISSY Mon 21-Oct-19 14:57:51

There is something weird about the two of them.Can't quite out my finger on it, but they don't 'read' true. I am quite disgusted by the ones who are dripping in diamonds and gold tell us how hard life is. Wot? does the sparkle of the lights in the diamonds hurt your eyes? Totally fed up of their patronising attitudes and their fawning over each other and the baby in public. She is defo playing to the crowd, and him . He has also joined in, more fool us for putting up with it !

Once an actress always an actress!

??Gonegirl, well said

Gonegirl Mon 21-Oct-19 14:54:15

Shame there are people always ready to bitch about them. I can't understand that. Almost tempted to say get a life.

Gonegirl Mon 21-Oct-19 14:52:40

Well, I've just watched the Africa documentary. It was alright. I can see how Harry would get emotional going over the same ground his mother covered before him. I think the rumours of his mental ill health are greatly exaggerated.

Feel sorry for Meghan. Can't be easy having your family circumstances put forward all the time, just to entertain the masses, and the newspapers to make money out of.

They are just a young couple. Only time will tell how things work out for them. They have the love necessary to keep them together. I think they'll be alright. Hope so.

Think they should stay away from ITV in future though.

Bridgeit Mon 21-Oct-19 14:48:16

Ahh yes , ohh dear I am getting old?

merlotgran Mon 21-Oct-19 14:46:01

It was Private Frazer who said that, Bridgeit. Not Captain Mainwaring.

Bridgeit Mon 21-Oct-19 14:43:45

Boodymum67, Well said But sadly
There is no stopping them, they have taken against Meghan,
& if she behaved as they want/ think she should , she would be criticised for that too. ..... So I guess in some way Meghan is contributing to society, allowing some to spend their days being judge & jury, knowing that the target is not in a position to do anything about it. ..... and should it all become too much for MM , they will justify it by saying they always knew she couldn’t cut the muster. To borrow some words from Capt Mannering ,(She’s) Doomed, doomed I say.

Merlotgran
Your last sentence sums up this situation perfectly.
Then along came Megan perfect!!

merlotgran Mon 21-Oct-19 14:22:47

If Harry had been this flaky years ago the army would never have sent him to Afghanistan. He managed his grief like his brother and countless other young men who had lost a parent at an early age.

Then along came Meghan....

Alexa Mon 21-Oct-19 14:09:11

Jenifer Eccles, I agree and I really wish they would get a good PR advisor.

True, grief and signs of grief are not an illness. These are the actions of a healthy brain-mind. Harry will be interested in emotional trauma among soldiers, so he will be aware of the biological and evolutionary causes of grief, and how not to medicalise the countless people who have had bad things happen to them.

I know she is really asking for it.......

Daisymae Mon 21-Oct-19 14:05:40

Seems that a bit of human understanding and empathy wouldn't go amiss. Never read any more judgemental opinions. Just cruel.

pinkquartz Mon 21-Oct-19 14:05:05

Anniebach

That must have been so hard for your daughter.
I am glad she was able to grieve and then talk to you. it is so hard when a child's parent dies because they are so young to deal with all the implications.

boodymum67

this is a forum for opinions

Lisagran Mon 21-Oct-19 13:59:14

boodymum67 - H and M were in Africa to publicise and raise awareness of the plight of many in that country - including girls who are regularly raped. A TV programme was being made about the visit - excellent news, so we could see the needs of the people there. But, H and M chose to use this programme to highlight their own difficulties. For me, it was the context of their comments - a war-torn, impoverished country of inequalities. They could have made their own feelings about their lives known in a separate programme - perhaps about mental health.

merlotgran Mon 21-Oct-19 13:47:11

She is speaking out against a family who welcomed her, even though some of them had reservations. She is speaking out against the Queen by saying nobody has asked how she is when we know they turned down an invitation to Balmoral saying Archie was too young and then Meghan jetted off to watch Serena Williams play tennis!!

She is speaking out against a country where many people support and admire the monarchy. She is also speaking out against the press who supported her in her early days.

I'm surprised her half-sister, who we all criticised for trying to spoil Meghan's big day, hasn't popped up and said,

'Told you so!'

MawB Mon 21-Oct-19 13:45:58

Spoke out about what?
Like Anniebach I must have missed whatever you say she has “spoken out about “ confused

Anniebach Mon 21-Oct-19 13:40:58

Dared to speak out about what ? And who was out to ‘get her’?

boodymum67 Mon 21-Oct-19 13:37:33

they were out to get her, because she dared to speak out.....

boodymum67 Mon 21-Oct-19 13:36:27

damned if they do and damned if they don't...an open forum like this entitles everyone to have their say

leave harry and Meghan alone.....

Post natal depression for over 35 years ? Have you not had treatment?
