In this morning’s DT
THE Duke of Sussex has been duped into speaking about his decision to quit the Royal Family by hoaxers pretending to be Greta Thunberg, it was claimed last night.
The Duke was pranked by Russian jokers who convinced him he was speaking to the teenage climate activist and her father, according to The Sun. He alluded to tensions between his wife and himself, and the rest of the Royal family and also criticised Donald Trump, who he said “has blood on his hands.
The two phone calls were reportedly made to the Duke at his rented home on Vancouver Island, Canada, on New Year’s Eve and January 22, by Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, known as Vovan and Lexus
Do you all remember how “Sheik gate” put an end to Sophie Wessex’s career plans? I fear that without the protection of a Royal Press Officer Harry risks being a bit of “an innocent abroad “

Yes, your language does offend me; it is crude and totally inappropriate.

I sincerely hope Prince Philip doesn’t die during this latest health problem. As for other families, organising funerals will be extremely difficult. Family shouldn’t travel from afar, large groups of people shouldn’t be gathering together, family or not. What an awful dilemma for every family who lose a loved one at this time.

I wasn’t unkind to you or anyone else.
Why was my question to you uncalled for and “shirty”, but your comment was acceptable?

Summerlove Thu 19-Mar-20 23:14:42

I spoke of posters on another thread posting about hair cuts for levity and how that was ok for keeping spirits up.

When Harry and Meghan post to keep spirits up it’s vilified here.

I thought I was quite clear: however apparently to you they can do nothing right.

I found it interesting

Anniebach Thu 19-Mar-20 21:19:40

So Shirty, uncalled for , you spoke of hair cuts

Summerlove Thu 19-Mar-20 21:18:01

You tell me.

Anniebach Thu 19-Mar-20 20:23:50

Is Megan getting her hair cut ?

Summerlove Thu 19-Mar-20 20:17:46

I’m quite happy the Queen has sent out a message.

I find it funny though that people on threads get angry when others give them trouble for having lighthearted threats about haircuts, but then the same posters get mad when Harry and Meghan do similar things.

Anniebach Thu 19-Mar-20 19:39:00

She will have said something to displease some.

Calendargirl Thu 19-Mar-20 19:33:53

Hope all the grumblers about the Queen not sending a message are happy now.

But of course they won’t be.

Anniebach Thu 19-Mar-20 18:40:05

Wish they would shut up ?

merlotgran Thu 19-Mar-20 18:35:51

They've got to do something now their wings have been clipped.

Must be costing them a fortune to have to stay at home instead of lucrative personal appearances.

Anniebach Thu 19-Mar-20 18:33:00

All is well. Megan and Harry are going to advise latest medical
updates, post positive thoughts and tell of positive stories from around the globe . ?

Anniebach Thu 19-Mar-20 18:30:57

No harm to others but could be harm to her, and Phillip is now very ill.

Jabberwok Thu 19-Mar-20 18:24:39

None whatsoever, but republicans hate her so she can't do right for doing wrong. None of the RF can!

Bridgeit Thu 19-Mar-20 18:10:02

You are overlooking the fact that many folks of the Queens generation do like to hear her & see her especially when there is a situation that is on going.
She will be dammed if she does dammed if she doesn’t , but if it makes some happy then what harm does it do to others.

Greymar Thu 19-Mar-20 18:00:39

Bravo Queenie, very sensible of you Ma'am.

Anniebach Thu 19-Mar-20 17:54:44

Very sensible, not having a camera crew and equipment in

merlotgran Thu 19-Mar-20 17:48:05

A statement from the Queen has been read out on the News update this evening.

gillybob Thu 19-Mar-20 17:23:49

“Pissing on your lawn won’t make mine any greener” you mean ?

Oh dear are your eyes offended eazybee ?

Anniebach Thu 19-Mar-20 17:18:26

Philip has been taken to Windsor

GrannyGravy13 Thu 19-Mar-20 17:16:20

Yep it is on line

eazybee Thu 19-Mar-20 17:11:07

My point is that her Maj and co. couldn’t possibly understand what ordinary people are going through everyday so best she says nothing .

And some people lack the imagination to even consider that other people may well have problems of a different sort; they simply keep them private.

And what a revolting expression to use, Gillybob.

maddyone Thu 19-Mar-20 16:49:42

Annie
Apologies, I didn’t think you’d want a two bedroom bungalow. I understand completely how annoying it is to have nowhere to store things. Storage facilities in many houses are abysmal, so with only one bedroom it could well be a problem.

In, not jin!
