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 the monarchy is modernising . William and Kate play games with children, bake with children. This wasn’t done when the queen and Charles were in their thirties.
There are far fewer family members carrying out official duties. There were many more in the early days of the Queens reign. She had four children, they married and carried out royal duties.
When William becomes Prince of Wales there will be fewer working royals.
I think it’s a pity there is never a thread about the official duties carried out by working royals.
I’m sorry I’m not glued to this thread. Just take a look occasionally. And I’m not a Harry & Meghan worshipper either. I just find the continual criticism of this couple on several threads incredible, unjustified and vindictive. I don’t understand what they’ve done to deserve this treatment. Right, I’m off now!
the Jeremy Vine show this morning had a section about whether or not "we" ( dont count me in this) should BEG Mand H to stay in England I assume they meant the UK but you can never tell with Vine.There was a divided opinion but I was surprised at how many thought that begging them was the right thing to do never mind begging ...it beggers belief that ordinary fiolk are so invested in monarchy they would lose all dignity and beg someone they've never met,who couldn't care less about them to stay.Its the 21st century for goodness sake ...not mediaeval times ,monarchy is out of date and definately out of touch with these ordinary folk
Lemon I agree with you, I think the posters who are criticising other posters are not prepared to accept the opinions of others without being rude or even childish. However whatever they say, I will not change my opinion of Meghan’s behaviour, nor for that matter do I expect them to change theirs. Comments such as the one about Gransnetters being like woman sitting knitting by the guillotine aren’t discussion, they’re pointless and childish.
mumofmadboys If there is another thread about H+M, perhaps it would be a good idea for you to avoid it since you dislike this one. I’m sure there are plenty of other threads that would interest you.
Please feel free to bash any nasty spiteful comments you believe I have made. I suspect they are merely a reaction to others’ nasty spiteful comments about the Duchess of Sussex, not based on my interpretation of a photo or belief in that persons’ motivations based on spurious evidence. I would also like to suggest any comments I have made are outweighed by the continuous barrage of unpleasantness shown by many on here.
I totally agree with Paddyanne .And I don't want to hear the advantages of a monarchy yet again. My hands are covering my ears - same as those who refuse to actually really think about what Padfyanne is saying..
Well they’re going soon to their happy ever after, leaving William and Kate to carry on which suits most royalists just fine, they’re doing a good job.
H&M will be as relevant as Duke and Duchess of Windsor were when he abdicated .....life in Britain will continue - no one is indispensable.
