I don't think we will see Archie in this country again, he will never get to mix and know his cousins and the rest of the family. Just think she is vindictive as you said.

They managed to take him to Africa without any qualms, surely that was long haul flight?
As for saying the Queen and PP are too old to care one way or the other, what a horrible comment! My DH's Granny was in her 80's when our son was born, and she loved our visits and him! Presumably P.C is too old or too disinterested to care as well as other family members. There certainly are some spiteful posters on here!

So you know people in homeless shelters , you know the posters who choose to post their opinions on people they don’t know ,you know which posters help or don’t Help
at homeless shelters

That’s a lot of ‘I know’

Agreed Beckett I can’t believe there’s another of these moanathons about harry and Meghan.

Isn't there already an anti Harry and Meghan thread going? Personally I don't care one way or the other about any of them and don't understand why so many GNs are so concerned about the lives of people they don't know. Go do something useful - like help out at a homeless shelter

Oh get over it! I very much doubt if Phillip is interested. He's never been particularly warm and friendly with his own children, let alone those twice removed. The Queen would probably like a look at him, but she too is too elderly to be a 'get down on the floor' granny. The Queen and Phillip have the luxury of having lots of family around them, unlike most elderly people, many of whom are alone most of the time. Save your sympathy for them.

How long are Harry and Megan staying in the UK?

Atqui Sat 07-Mar-20 18:03:06

It’s a valid observation I think. Even if not actually vindictive , I think it’s strange they wanted to leave him behind

Indeed- is she had brought him- others would have had a go.

Ooh let’s put the boot in about something else....taking a baby on a long haul flight isn’t great and having to get them over jet lag for a short visit...not a good idea.

Am I the only one who thinks it was a bit unkind of Harry and Meghan not to bring Archie to the UK with them on this trip? It's not as if Meghan would have to sit with Archie on her knee for nine hours in cattle class and then have to drag him around with her. I very much doubt that they will come to the UK very often and Prince Philip is obviously ailing. We read many posts on here from grandparents who never see their grandchildren and are so upset by it. The royal family may have different lives from the rest of us, but they are still human beings who love their grandchildren/ great grandchildren. I think it was a mean, even vindictive, decision.
