After the news about Bea and Edo's wedding venue this morning, I was having a quick scan to see what Harry would managed to newsbomb them with. Well it seems they scurried around a bit and finally got themselves into the evening news. Well done Harry and Meghan, don't get caught napping when you have family to compete with for publicity [roll eyes]

Yes Miss, I promise to try much harder, I didn’t realise you were a Gnetter adjudicator !

Bridgeit Sat 08-Feb-20 17:05:02

MerylStreep, my comments do not contain any sneering !!

Greymar Sat 08-Feb-20 17:49:31

It is horrible, because life is not so simple. Do you really believe this nonsense? And you are bloody relishing it aren't you?

merlotgran Sat 08-Feb-20 18:54:35

What nonsense?

Iam64 Sat 08-Feb-20 22:20:48

The suggestion that somehow survivors of the war in Syria, of the concentration camps some how just get on with it, in comparison with Harry exploiting his mother's death to gain cash and attention is as incorrect as its unkind.

One of many examples is Primo Levy author, If this is Man) appeared to have survived Auschwitz well, until he killed himself in his 80's. There has been research into the mental health impact of being the children of survivors. Neither the children, nor their parents escaped unscathed. How could they?
Someone posted up thread that it is becoming known that H has m.h. problems. How can this be news to anyone?

Yes Harry does have mental health problems , he is vulnerable
as many with mental illnesses are.

Graymar Spot on.

Yehbutnobut Sun 09-Feb-20 07:18:37

Greymar very interesting that merlotgran can’t even work out what is nonsense!

Sparkling Sun 09-Feb-20 07:28:30

I think we all know of Harry's mental health issues. I just hope he finds a way to be happy.

jo1book Sun 09-Feb-20 12:28:32

Don't blame people for taking silly money (what else has Harry got to talk about), blame the people who pay for this kind of event. A cool Million, it is reported.

Greymar very interesting that merlotgran can’t even work out what is nonsense!

Well, Your post is for a start.

Is it nonsense that H&M flew to Miami so Harry could talk about his mental health issues?

Funnily enough I thought it was fact but maybe you know different. hmm

Not relishing in it though. Too boring.

jo1book Sun 09-Feb-20 13:40:35

The Press will have a field day in March when the Sussexes are due to come back to fulfill duties. If H come alone, M will get it; if she turns up (probably without baby) she will get it.
Poor old Princess Anne; having to pick up the slack left by Harry when they finally leave ,we are told.

Callistemon Sun 09-Feb-20 17:52:42

Did they fly by private jet?

Not again! shock

At least the speech wasn't about carbon footprints and saving the planet this time.

Anniebach Sun 09-Feb-20 17:55:21

Megan introduced Harry to the audience and spoke of her love for him !

Callistemon Sun 09-Feb-20 17:56:43

jolbrook
DH said he heard that plans are underway for Eugenie and Beatrice to take on some of M&H's duties.

That should please Andrew.

The fact is that these visits, the official duties etc are planned months if not years in advance and Anne, Wills, Katherine, the Wessexes probably can't fit them in around their own schedules.

Anniebach Sun 09-Feb-20 18:00:30

Who will do the commonwealth visits ?

merlotgran Sun 09-Feb-20 18:49:05

I will be glad if Beatrice and Eugenie are asked to do some official royal duties.

They've put up with loads of criticism over their dress sense (some of it justified)
They've had to trail along in the wake of Kate and then Meghan.
They've been loyal and loving daughters to the two most embarrassing royal parents ever.
The Queen is justifiably very fond of them.
They have jobs. (I think)
Eugenie has a nice unassuming husband who earns his own dosh.
Beatrice's intended is a bit of a looker and isn't he a Count? She'll have her own title.

Hang on in there, girls. It's your time to shine!! grin

Anniebach Sun 09-Feb-20 20:44:08

I agree merlot , those two girls have never hit the front pages with talk of affairs etc, don’t think they have given interviews of their problems, they didn’t choose their parents.

I think they both support charities now.

ReadyMeals Sun 09-Feb-20 21:20:28

I am looking forward to welcoming Beatrice and Eugenie onto the front line. They've never done anything publicly wrong, they seem dignified.

Nezumi65 Sun 09-Feb-20 21:25:49

The only reason you haven’t seen much about Beatrice and Eugenie is because the media hasn’t been that interested in them.

There have been small articles about Beatrice’s love of ‘partying’ (& a few about her being drunk)

If the media become interested I’m sure they can rip them to shreds as well.

Anniebach Sun 09-Feb-20 21:25:56

The Queen is to hold Beatrice’s wedding reception at Buck
House, the last wedding reception held there was William and
Kate’s

Callistemon Sun 09-Feb-20 23:08:11

merlotgran they seem to be very nice girls despite their parents!! And I am sure they love their parents who will have a different relationship with them than they do with others.

Goodness, who hasn't had a bit of fun in their teens and twenties Nezumi!!

Oh, well perhaps some haven't.

Callistemon Sun 09-Feb-20 23:08:50

being drunk
shock

Nezumi65 Mon 10-Feb-20 06:35:26

You’re missing the point. I couldn’t care less how much either of them drinks, but if the tabloids decide they do then the narrative will turn nasty (it already has in some articles - they’re just few & far between because they’re not that interested). And the pitchfork brigade will oblige & suddenly they’ll be a shocker.

I have no idea whether they’re nice girls with or without a drink problem. None of us do. We don’t know them.

Greymar Mon 10-Feb-20 08:32:28

Of course they are nice girls. It says so on the papers. It must be true.
