Are you sure, Harry?

Oh my Lord, it’s just been on the BBC lunchtime news. It’s impossible to avoid. I just wish they’d stop. I’m fed up to the back teeth of hearing about them.

I read they are releasing some text messages.

(shakes head!!) If this wasn't so pathetic It would be laughable!!

I think she will win ! One way of earning money

Now I’ve seen it on ITV news. We can’t get away from it.

I agree Jabberwok it’s absolutely pathetic. They must be really full of themselves. I just don’t understand why, having said they want a quiet life away from the media, that they keep releasing photos or statements.

Now they are saying they won't deal with certain British tabloids, and it's not because they don't want criticism...yeah, right!

Trump said he wouldn't deal with some newspapers and tv stations and there was condemnation from all media, now they are emulating his behaviour. I really wish the press and other media would stop writing about them because it's nearly nigh on impossible not to see it or hear it. They are now just 'celebrities' living over the pond, in whom I have very little to zero interest. They have upset so many people, I don't know who they think will donate to their charity anyway except for other luvvies.

This statement from the Duke of Edinburgh is the first we've heard from him, publically, since he withdrew from royal duties. That's what being retired from public life means; not saying anything, not courting attention because of your previous role and, when you do say something, it's very nice and positive. Harry hasn't cottoned on to that fact yet.

I believe Thomas Markle said he would testify against his daughter in the Mail on Sunday court case.

Now THAT will be interesting

Well for a couple who wanted to escape the press, they’re all over it this morning.

which is exactly what they wanted!

It’s what celebrities do, bad publicity is better than no publicity.

It’s the Queen’s birthday today, so of course they’ll be making sure they’re in the news too. Via their statement that they don’t want to be in the news.

Good comment from the former editor of the Daily Telegraph, Charles Moore, concerning H&M:
'As a writer on one of the few newspapers not cast into darkness by the D&DoS, I suppose I should feel privileged. Actually, I feel a little disappointed. My message to their semi-royal Highnesses is "Please extend to me the 'zero engagement' you have offered my tabloid brothers. At present, the big story is a global virus, killing tens of thousands of people and decimating economies. In these circumstances I would quite like to be released from any opportunity to cover the activities of your new non-profit empire, Archewell, and whatever else you may find to do in Los Angeles."

Well said Charles Moore.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to H.M???

Harry’s family must be affected by all this, poor Charles and
William and it has always been reported the Queen reads the
newspapers every day.

Great writing Charles Moore, and thank you Easybee for drawing my attention to it.

So well timed as maddyone said.

Happy Birthday to H.M.. ?

Love him or loathe him, Piers Morgan wrote a very good article on Google, apropos of some of our very elderly ex servicemen, who lived through all manner of horrors, but in particular Captain Tom who has done so much for our beleaguered NHS, contrasting it with the smug virtual signalling of both Harry and Meghan and the Beckhams. He states in the article, he has never made it a secret, he has no time for either couple.

I think the time has come, when the public truly have had enough of rich people offering an insight into how they are spending their enforced lockdown in palatial mansions, often not their main residence. A minority of royals, vulgar c'lebs, business people often inhabit similar vacuums where their lives criss cross each other and whilst there is undoubtedly some great philanthropy out there, somehow the words "charitable foundation" produces a scepticism. I think Piers Morgan takes a pot shot at certain people simply because they do everything they can to keep their profiles right up there in the public domain, presumably to validate their existence, or to rub everyone's noses in their conspicuous displays of wealth who knows! Why do they have to constantly up date everyone almost on a daily basis plenty of the wiser ones among their number have the nous not to. There in lies the problem of how the general public perceive them. The late George Michael, who clearly had his demons, quietly gave his money and sometimes his time, I believe he covertly helped out in soup kitchens, but we only learnt after his death, he kept his philanthropy tucked away well under the radar.

Well said TerriBull.

Sparklefizz, I’m glad you put that link, I was laughing out loud this morning.
They will have to put the Times on the list too.

I thought the Victoria Beckham thing was interesting as (correct me if I’m wrong) but she was going to give (some/all) profits from her company - but I thought she’s only ever made a loss so ?..

Glad you enjoyed it PamelaJ1

OMG they're at it again! They have notified 'selected' publications to announce they and Archie had a Zoom birthday chat with the Queen. They have deliberately made this information public after Buckingham Palace said that any birthday calls between the Queen and her family should be private. In my opinion this just stinks of using the Queen for publicity and showing off their Royal connections. Disgusting! This has really been the final straw for me, and I wonder how suziewoozie can possibly defend this awful behaviour.
