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 “

trisher if you married into a Muslim family would you
expect them to change to suit you ? Or would you think carefully about what was expected of you and you couldn’t accept would you still go through with the marriage?

trisher Wed 01-Apr-20 19:25:20

Incidently I didn't say she tried to change things, I said it was understandable that she found life difficult. It was wrong of course I should have said most rational people understand that she found life difficult. Would all OPs like to stop asking me what I would do, I am not a 30+, American actor. My actions like most people's are a result of my life experiences. It's desperately trying to prove I am wrong when you obviously know I am right.

Anniebach Wed 01-Apr-20 19:29:29

No, I do not think you are right trisher I accept you think you are

What part of her culture caused her to visit S.A. talk to young
girls living very difficult lives then give a tv interview saying
no one asked if she was ok

Bridgeit Wed 01-Apr-20 19:41:02

That’s a cross reference & out of context Annie.

Greymar Wed 01-Apr-20 19:42:40

Unless I'm very much mistaken, Islam is a religion and the RF are well exactly that, a family or Royals.

Anniebach Wed 01-Apr-20 19:43:28

Nearly at the end of the thread and suddenly so many more
posts from some who say they have no interest , curiouser
And curiouser ?

Bridgeit Wed 01-Apr-20 19:46:31

Well now we will have to go back to King HenryVIII .

Greymar Wed 01-Apr-20 19:49:19

Not at all, there are no "newcomers" to this thread. People have time on their hands and want to post. So what?

Another thread will appear.

Anniebach Wed 01-Apr-20 19:51:59

I didn’t say there were newcomers

Summerlove Wed 01-Apr-20 19:54:39

Maddy,Of course I would be respectful to Local culture. I would also cook to my guests specifications.

but your first example was about being respectful to a minority in a British culture. My point was that Meghan was the minority in the royal family/Britain, not the other way around.

I don’t see being respectful to a culture when I am a visitor, or being respectful to somebody else’s culture when they visit me as being mutually exclusive. Everybody needs to give a little bit.

Greymar Wed 01-Apr-20 20:11:27

I didn't say you said there were newcomers.You said there were suddenly more posts.

Rest assured a new day , a new thread, a new bitchfest.

Lucca Wed 01-Apr-20 20:15:36

Maddyone and Jabberwok. When you have a minute I’d love answers to my post at 19:10?

Lucca Wed 01-Apr-20 20:16:57

Anniebach, it’s not really curioser and curioser.....people are a bit bored !

Greymar Wed 01-Apr-20 20:22:50

Anyway, please enlighten me as to how Islam and Judiasm is the same as the RF?

trisher Wed 01-Apr-20 20:29:52

The number of posts raising complete irrelevancies indicates just how desperate some have now become.

I think she’s vegan maybe so no beef burgers

She isn’t vegan. At the engagement interview they said that they were roasting a chicken for dinner at Nottingham Cottage when Harry proposed. M then went on to say that she hardly let him finish the sentence, so eager was she to accept. And the rest as they say, is history.

Sparkling Thu 02-Apr-20 07:33:48

Megan wanted everything her way, Harry is besotted, now just the two of them plus Archie, no family, just her mother. I would expect this current situation won't last too long. They need the attention as we need oxygen, so just remove it and let them foot the bill. However they will probably have an allowance which I strongly object to.

LullyDully Thu 02-Apr-20 08:16:13

Just scrolling through . When visiting Muslim families I was never asked to take my shoes off. That was the mosque.

The situation with Megan and Harry is sad all round but they will make it and hopefully without all the hooha, though that is not certain. If they could stop being snapped at ever turn, that would help. I am not sure the American press is any more loving and kind than the British press.b We shall see.

LullyDully Thu 02-Apr-20 08:17:03

PS is she vegan, didn't he propose over a chicken dinner.?

Anniebach Thu 02-Apr-20 08:36:47

I hope their marriage lasts, she will be ok , she is use to moving on, from her father, her first husband, from her country , America to Canada, Canada to the U.K. U.K.
back to America. He will be lost, he can’t make a new life in
the shallowness of LA, he can come back to the U.K. but to do
what? He needs her.

Jabberwok Thu 02-Apr-20 08:38:40

In answer to your query Lucca. A white bride in the eyes of the church indicates virginity!!! This was a church wedding and she was no virgin! Perhaps ivory, or a softer colour would have been more appropriate particularly as Meghan was confirmed into the Anglican Church before her marriage so presumably took her new found religion seriously?! Or perhaps not!!!,

sodapop Thu 02-Apr-20 08:47:06

I think a lot of people in L.A. would resent being described as 'shallow' another generalisation,

Lucca Thu 02-Apr-20 08:47:56

Virginity? I really didn’t think you could have meant that. It’s the 21st. Century. So you reckonKate and William spent all those student years holding hands!
Come on that’s just thinking up things to criticise.
