Harry & Megan drop HRH Titles

I don't need to give examples myself, Annie. Reports go back a long long way.

I'm sure you've read biographies and watched documentaries.

BTW, did anyone else see Camilla's brief response when she was asked by a reporter if they'd miss Harry?

There was an audible 'Hmmmmm' as she walked by before turning back to the camera and adding, 'Of course!'

Brilliant!

Yes merlot but no recollection of anyone being named as petulant

Camilla is great at handling the press.

Very brave to walk babies and dogs like that; dogs see squirrel; dogs bolt; lady falls in mud on top of baby; ouch,
In my youth, I took my children out ( 2 and 6 months) with two dogs leashed onto each side of pram with baby inside and toddler in a seat facing handlebar. Dogs had fight; pram tipped forward projecting toddler onto pavement and baby down pram under the covers. I hated Motherhood,

Whether he's the royal correspondent or just a journo, Tom Bradbury has actually met the couple and knows them, unlike anyone on here (Im guessing). His article was thought worthy of publishing in The Times. His article shows their side of the story which is worth a read , although if you've already swallowed the Mail, Piers Morgan or other poison you're not going to want to hear any other view.

Bradby freely admits he doesn't really know what is in the minds of the Sussex pair; they are just using him to get at the Palace. Bad move Tom; picked the wrong side as far as public opinion is concerned.

Dogs obviously well trained , don't pull or run off (No well-trained dog does). She's carrying Archie much the same way my DIL used to carry my GS when he fell asleep in the sling. Sling more appropriate if you are facing rough ground or steps. Happy mummy, happy baby. Harry arriving at airport carrying his own bag looks relaxed. Well done for leaving an outdated, inbred, unnecessary institution. May the road rise up to meet you etc.

I read it on Sunday in the Sunday Times. As I said I dont and wouldn't read the Mail. It used to be a good paper but is now just a scandal sheet.Don't make assumptions Vegansrock, please.

make, assumptions.

Most of my Meghan information comes from Camilla Long of the Sunday Times; very amusing mockery of the Royals. Right on the money.

Dogs obviously well trained , don't pull or run off (No well-trained dog does)

trisher.

You do come out with the most amusing comments sometimes

That is blatantly untrue.

We can never know what a dog can do. I have had dogs all my life. All well trained

But I would never come out with such an absurd sweeping statement

One of my dogs, on lead, was attacked by a much larger dog who was off lead.

I can assure you she was pulling like mad

As was I

Luckily she was unscathed but to assert that a well trained dog won't pull or run off is just laughable

The main problem Archie was having in his sling in those photographs was that she put him in the wrong way round, or bought the wrong sling for the way round she wanted him. If you look at the crotch area, she has his bottom wedgied on the narrow bit that is meant to go between his legs at the front.

As for the sling, it does look uncomfortable. But I'm sure he didn't feel uncomfortable. Looks like he was asleep.

I'm more interested in why and how these pictures were taken

The pictures of Harry heading back

I thought that part of their problem was the Press

It appears that, (providing these pictures aren't staged) they have opened themselves up to being besieged by the paparazzi.

They had the protection of the RF before.

We saw no photos of them at all when they were in Canada over Christmas

The British press respected their privacy during this time

I think Ready Meals may have a point. Babies are usually completely supported under their bottom and their little legs go out sideways “frog like”
Wrong sling I expect - I cannot imagine what all those strings or straps were for. Baby Björn or Ergobaby are much better.

Most slings are designed to be used either way round. If you look carefully Archie has managed to remove one of his legs from the safety strap but in my experience babies do kick as they fall asleep. He looks comfortable and is sleeping, uncomfortable unhappy babies cry. What on earth is wrong with people that they choose to pick on such irrelevancies? And Oopsminty if a stray dog even approached them I'm sure security would deal with it. That's what they are there for. I aassume you didn't have 2 guards with you.

Not wanting a silly spat about carriers but my DD uses a back carrier as it distributes weight of older babies more evenly and she has a back problem ,which Pilates is helping.No doubt Meghan has great core strength.And that's the general advice on the parenting sites,and the sling and carrier manufacturers.For babies from 5/6 months.But obviously mothers can choose.And it's lovely to see them sleeping and snuggled.
Also DD s dog is very well trained .But on two occasions another dog that is notorious in our local woods jumped up and all over her and almost snapped the baby.So as soon as she was able ie baby bigger and supporting it's own head she swapped.Feeling much less vulnerable with a framed carrier.However she doesn't have two protection officers with her!Retreating now to walk my own well behaved dogs!

MawB most babies face outwards when awake but snuggle up to mum when they want to sleep, which may explain all the stuff about it being wrong way round. Maybe she is sensitive to her baby's needs and turned him round when he wanted to sleep. But God forbid we should actually acknowledge she and Harry are good caring parents who have just removed their child from the vicinity of a disfunctional family. How many would want to stay in a family with links with paedophiles?

trisher, at your leisure rearrange the following words.... wasting time are your you. It's such fun ripping into a beautiful woman who nobody knows.

Oh I know sparkii but somehow (and God knows how) I still cherish a small hope that somewhere there is a tiny spark of sisterhood that might be fanned into a flame and garner some support for her.

How does the family have links with a paedophile ?

A family member yes, but the family?

Actually, trisher, there are some nice kind, constructive posts in amongst the horrors. Lucky springs to mind for example.

IMHO Megan will eventually follow her chosen career and Harry will be swallowed back in to his HRH tole. And all will be peaceful.

trisher you are so into sisterhood we can expect you to find a
tiny spark for Ms G Maxwell
