I am disgusted by the announcement that these two have sacked 15 British members of staff. What are they thinking?
I ask myself 'how would I feel if I'd upped sticks and gone to another country out of loyalty to my employer, only for them to get rid of me 3 months later.
I would be heartbroken and furious.

I think they are trying their best as you both say trisher and Bridgeit but they are human. When you have shaken x thousand hands it is bound to become a little formulaic but they are still thinking feeling human beings.

Perhaps attacking others is the only way some people can make themselves feel good. If that is the case I feel sorry for them.

Is anyone watching ‘The Windsors’

Yes, Lemon. It's hilarious. Very prophetic seeing it was filmed last year.

Bridgeit Sun 08-Mar-20 17:22:10

Annie, it isn’t either or he can feel and experience both, and or many emotions as we all do. No one is perfect but as the old saying goes , Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water .

Bridgeit Sun 08-Mar-20 17:18:46

Trisher, yes I agree with part of what you say. However I do believe that they are sincere in their intentions towards those they visit, the charities they support, the Invictus games & all the initiatives that they are involved with.

lemongrove Sun 08-Mar-20 17:14:47

Except trisher that Harry and Meghan are refusing to do any more performing...i.e. carrying out royal duties, they prefer to live in another country doing nothing for the same money.No wonder a lot of the public here are scornful of them.

Anniebach Sun 08-Mar-20 17:14:31

trisher people visit famine stricken countries, war stricken
areas etc. Yes it distresses them but they speak of the suffering
they have witnessed not of themselves .

Harry spoke of his distress when he hears the click of a camera
yet appears in front of many cameras.

And no member of the windsors can match Megan for smiles

trisher Sun 08-Mar-20 17:04:26

Anyone who didn't look a little sad or a little upset when attending a last event in a place they were leaving would be either nuts or on happy pills. It really is pathetic the way people on GN take offence at anything H&M do. They are simply people and much like the rest of us they will sometimes be happy and sometimes miserable. All the stupid smiles on the faces of all the RF are just pasted on for the occasion. It's ridiculous to think any of it is real. In fact imagining it is or that they are in any way sincere is just being gullible. "Ooh look the Queen (Kate, William, any RF member) is smiling at me she/he must like me." No they're ALL just performing!

Bridgeit Sun 08-Mar-20 17:01:45

Exactly GracesgranMK3, Thankyou

Annibach, I am sure we all have emotions that are quite raw at times , but still have the capacity to ‘ feel ‘ for others
We are all on occasions Hypocrites in this respect .
But this lady will never be able to do right for doing wrong in the eyes of the scandalmonger gossips. And when she is unable to cope with it , she will receive another round of criticism, it is simply quite shameful.

lemongrove Sun 08-Mar-20 16:40:29

Is anyone watching ‘The Windsors’....it’s hilarious, don’t think that Harry and Meghan would approve, or any of the royal family ( which makes it all the funnier) I loved Mike Middleton greeting Charles with ‘Oi Oi Saveloy!’ ?

GracesGranMK3 Sun 08-Mar-20 16:40:00

Sadly, it's become obvious recently, that they can't all protect themselves from how the comments make them feel. Bridgeit.

I still do not understand why people want to say such awful things, based on no knowledge at all, that may ruin someone else's life. It's beyond me.

Anniebach Sun 08-Mar-20 16:38:49

Bridgeit. Anyone who can visit young women in S.A. who
are learning how to box as a protection against rape. Who has
the world stage to speak of the plight of these young women
but chooses to tell the world no one asked her if she was ok
when pregnant?

What character !

Bridgeit Sun 08-Mar-20 16:32:31

Well yes you have a point , I hope for her sake & anyone else who is on the receiving end of female character assassination that they do indeed have a skin as thick or thicker than a ?
they & she will certainly need it.

I also wonder if Harry will have regrets when the honeymoon of a perfect holiday in Canada is over.

maddyone Sun 08-Mar-20 16:28:12

Grandmafrench
I know grin

pinkquartz Sun 08-Mar-20 16:28:05

maddyine

yes she is definitely making herself look very successful.

I spect she will have her photographer sending these pics to Agencies for work.

Poor Harry doesn't though. I wonder if it all seemed real to him before? My DD is very good at being in denial until the reality bites.

Anniebach

yes I was thinking that grin I also loved Baldrick.

Anniebach Sun 08-Mar-20 16:24:32

Me thinks she has a rhino skin , the ‘no one asked if a was ok,
near tears’ didn’t work for me.

Grandmafrench Sun 08-Mar-20 16:23:15

Ooooer, I missed that. I must be careful not to be seen to be larking about with those who sometimes are on the naughty step. shock

Bridgeit Sun 08-Mar-20 16:20:34

Indeed who knows, why does anyone care?
Like her or not, she will never be able to do right for doing wrong, & will always have suspected ulterior motives attributed to her.
Wearing a Rhinoceros skin might be her best bet, she would at least have some protection .
Im not overly interested in her or them, but I do know what covert bullying can do to folks.

maddyone Sun 08-Mar-20 16:11:09

Ha ha, that’s funny, Grandmafrench
I had a post deleted earlier though, so I’m sure you would have phrased that one better than I did grin

Great minds think alike Grandma.

maddyone Sun 08-Mar-20 16:08:35

.....if he’s doing well now and he’s got his heart’s desire, he needs to tell his face to try harder.

gringringrin

Grandmafrench Sun 08-Mar-20 16:08:25

Not commenting on your posts, Maddyone because each time you write almost word for word what I was going to say!confused

maddyone Sun 08-Mar-20 16:05:41

Another child would of course get in the way of appearing or acting in Hollywood.

Grandmafrench Sun 08-Mar-20 16:05:20

Well it's fairly clear that Harry is not going to thrive as an actor.....if he's doing well now and he's got his heart's desire, he needs to tell his face to try harder. Yes Annie, the constant smiling is a bit troubling but I suppose when you don't want to risk your "cunning plan" you just have to stick with it. (Not sure that poor old Baldrick's plans got him very far though. He'll never be able to say, "oh, I love it when a plan comes together" is he? ) hmm

maddyone Sun 08-Mar-20 16:04:43

I think it will be interesting to see if H+M go on to have a another child. Harry spoke about not having more than two children, which could suggest that he’d like another one, but I have seen it suggested that Meghan won’t have any more as she’s got something to tie her to royalty now forever. In any case, her biological clock is ticking so there won’t be too long to wait to see history unfold.

Juliet27 Sun 08-Mar-20 15:56:17

Yes Annie...and all her plans seem to have come to fruition so far. Wonder what the next one is.
