Latest on Harry and Meghan

V3ra glad you enjoyed it. @ The Irish coverage of te whole trip was extraordinary. Similar to how the French and the Americans are interested in and quite kind about the Royals, not as cynical or unpleasant as it can be at home!

easy to be interested when its something you got rid of for yourself...kind of like an alien lifeform .Ireland or rather the Irish I know wouldn't want a Monarchy they're very proud of the country they've built since they cut loose from the UK and the horrific things they had visited on them thanks to WM

Did she really drink that Guinness?

She didn't see that much of her children before she was Queen. When Charles was a baby she chose to leave him in their country house during the week and only saw him weekends. She also left Charles and later Anne when she went to Malta. I just don't think she is particularly maternal, animals are her thing.

I think that is a little unfair Framilode times were very different when Charles and Anne were children. The Queen was young and travel was part of her role, she did put duty first.

Where was the country house ?

I don't know why I haven't realised this before.
MM is exactly the same as her father: exploiting her family connections for cash.

Why can't you leave them alone?

So many people who make out they know exactly what is going on with them. Please accept that you don't - I have married friends who I have known for 40 years. Do I know the dynamic of their relationship? No.

Harry has signalled for some time that he was pretty unhappy with the type of coverage which being a full member of the Royal Family involves - long before Meghan was on the scene.
He has openly talked about his mental health issues - the press and public are openly bullying the pair of them!

Back off and find something which IS your business to comment on.

Harry never complained about press coverage before he met Megan. So many happy photos of him at Sentebale or with military activities.
What could possibly have happened??!

Harry wants to be a part time member of the royal family,
he wants the title, the house, the money , the security but
not the duties which goes with these .

Jane10 I have recently thought that Sentebale is where H would be happiest.

When individuals are funded from the public purse, directly or indirectly, it is our business.

If H&M are so unhappy with their lot and feel as if they’re being bullied then they need to step away from the limelight completely and make their own way in the world - and not this half in, half out, we’ll do what suits us in return for handouts and a royal profile which helps to feed our cash cow.

People like to gossip Fenton but I tend to find myself thinking the same as you. Kate is horrendously thin in the photos, who knows the pressures.

BTW paddyanne I am Irish and I could tell you a thing or two about Irish history and misdeeds of the English but as with every country, its complicated and most Irish are also tolerant and kind hearted.

I couldn't agree more Fenton. I do wonder about the upbringing of the people who think it is okay to add to the harassment and slander of two people they don't know. What on earth were their parents thinking about to encourage such vicious gossip in their children?

Thought this was apposite.

What an odd this to say GGMk3. As an adult, are all your opinions based on what your parents thought or said? Mine certainly aren’t.

But you don’t practice that GracesGran

Well it seems the comments about Meghan trying to upstage the RF might be true.
Pictures of Meghan at the National Theatre were released as Camilla launched the Women of the World Festival at the Southbank Centre in London. Buckingham Palace had urged royal correspondents to focus on the Duchess of Cornwall's engagement on Friday which had been long-planned and came on a day when there were no other major Royal engagements. But after images of Meghan's secret visit to the National Theatre on Thursday were released Camilla's speech was quickly overshadowed and she was said to be very upset.
Not very nice and not the first time Meghan has done this.
She is clearly very clever at using the media.

Hopefully, we won't have to hear anything new about M and H after the end of the month, other than to confirm they have paid back the money spent on Frogmore and are now funding their independent life themselves including their security,

Megxit can't come fast enough for the RF I should think.

They'll milk the publicity until they finally get on the plane. Oh.....hang on! They don't like publicity do they?

How anyone can defend M in light of your post is beyond me Chestnut. It would appear that in M's world the only person who matters is M.

She's a witch with a capitol B! For the life of me I can't understand Prince Harry going along with this rude, obviously calculated spiteful behaviour, but then poor old Harry is clearly under the rule of thumb, does as he is told, and has no say in anything. Thank God when they've gone back to Canada and hopefully won't be back any time soon.

Megan’s visit was private yet she released photographs of herself.

Camilla who is president of ‘Women of the World was speaking of domestic abuse ,

Wishful thinking quizqueen!! At least they'll go which will be something!!

Kate needs to watch out. As my Irish grandmother tod me green is the fairy's colour and they don't like just anyone wearing it.
If the photo of M&H was posed any more than all the other photos of the RF I think it was beautifully done. Much better than usual.
