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]

Good post Nezumi65, I totally agree.

Anniebach Mon 10-Feb-20 09:00:59

I agree, if they take on public duties the press will start digging, it’s what they do . It has happened to them all .

Greymar I believe everything I read grin

Actually, they do come across as pleasant girls, charming and not a bit arrogant.
Surprisingly.

Callistemon Mon 10-Feb-20 10:10:26

We don't know them

Actually, as no-one really knows who anyone is on here or who knows whom, that statement may not be factual.

I'm rolling my eyes that someone has even bothered to post this spiteful post in the first place !
A decision has been made, it's happening so move on!

Anniebach Mon 10-Feb-20 10:15:33

Some wish to discuss the decision, those who don’t can -
move on ?

I felt a bit sad about Harry's talk, it was so self centred. How long will people want to listen to him going on and on about how he has been treated? I also felt sad because he could have used this opportunity to highlight some of the causes that he is passionate about, in particular the Invictus Games, where he really has done exceptional work. I thought his new life was to enable him to really make a difference through this sort of thing.

It’s a pity the Meghan haters can’t move on

It's fairly usual for people with depression to become a bit self-centred and introverted, which is almost certainly not their fault or under their control at the time.

suziewoozie Mon 10-Feb-20 10:35:49

The only things I know a out B and E is that they take lots of holidays, wear silly hats and have a rat for a father.

ReadyMeals Mon 10-Feb-20 10:45:11

The only thing that I'd take issue with in this new drive to have mental illness acceptable is that it shouldn't be forgotten that depression etc are illnesses to be hopefully cured one day, and not something to be worn like a badge of honour, or like one of those Help For Heroes wrist bands. I am sometimes concerned that Harry is blurring the distinction. I don't want to start seeing Celebrity Depression emerging as the new fashion - these things always seem to leave the ordinary suffering person still no better off or better provided for.

William has spoken of his problems and listens to others with
problems . Harry only speaks of his problems , he has become
a celebrity depression sufferer .

It is understood the Duke gave a speech at the 1 Hotel on Miami’s South Beach in support of Reform Alliance, a prison campaign charity, which wants to change the “laws, policies and practices that perpetuate the horrific injustices” it says are rife within the American criminal justice system.

This was from Friday's Telegraph.

Was he ever interested in changing the laws and policies of UK prisons?

Does he actually know anything about the American criminal justice system?

Would there have been nothing more than a tenuous link to his own mental health issues?

Anniebach Mon 10-Feb-20 12:02:47

Good grief, a speech on American criminal justice, and Megan
introduced him to the audience telling them of her love for her husband .

Hope they stay in America, I so dislike this over the top emotional rubbish.

Yehbutnobut Mon 10-Feb-20 12:18:30

Except on GN of course? When support from others is acceptable?

Anniebach Mon 10-Feb-20 12:28:02

Meaning what Yehbutnobut ?

Support for posters by posters ?

MawB Mon 10-Feb-20 12:29:31

In answer to your questions Merlot - No, no and no.
I feel saddened by it all.

Anniebach Mon 10-Feb-20 12:36:39

I fear a complete breakdown happening to him, he seems so
lost.

Yehbutnobut Mon 10-Feb-20 12:37:41

Meaning we should all be more Christian to one another.

Yehbutnobut Mon 10-Feb-20 12:38:50

Or, if that doesn’t apply, then at least kinder

Anniebach Mon 10-Feb-20 12:40:24

Really ?

Yehbutnobut Mon 10-Feb-20 12:41:18

Yes, really

ReadyMeals Mon 10-Feb-20 12:51:00

Well if one poster isn't feeling kindly disposed towards another, keeping a civil tongue (or keyboard) is at least a step in the positive direction

maddyone Mon 10-Feb-20 12:54:39

Well if we should all be kinder to one another, a good place to start would be right here on Gransnet wouldn’t it suziewoozie!

suziewoozie Mon 10-Feb-20 13:03:36

Yes it would maddy all the Meghan hating gossip mongering making it up as they go along always imputing the worst motives could just give it a rest.
