Are you sure, Harry?

I actually think Meghan has given up more than she realises.

The trouble is though Bridgeit that we’re having these drip, drip, drip bits of ‘news’ about them when Britain has enough to do with Coronavirus management, and as he/they chose to go to live in Canada??? or LA or wherever, they should just get on with it and stop assuming that anyone actually cares over here. It’s clear that Meghan’s ‘friends’ are dropping the nod to the press because LA is so unbelievably huge that the chance of just happening to be within 10 square miles of anyone you know in LA is simply impossible. The press are told to photograph H+M and then it’s suddenly world wide news. I just wish they’d stop it and get on with whatever they want to do and leave Britain alone.

Bridgeit what has Megan given up, she is known for
‘Moving on’ to get what she desires.

Why see it only in terms of what Harry has given up.
Like the rest of us often do he has chosen a different path for the time being, which will in time perhaps change again.
He has for the moment chosen what he believes he wants, until & unless that changes let’s hope he is happy .
There are no guarantees no matter who you are, I for one did not heed the advice I was given , I ended unhappy with that particular situation eventually, I do not regret it because at the time it absolutely was what I believed in & wanted.
A heart cannot be stolen it goes where it wants to go.

At the moment though she's an out of work actress, married to an out of work prince, living in a rented house and having to self isolate like the rest of us.

Handing out food parcels with Harry trailing along in her wake shows just how desperate they are to be noticed.

He is a spare part now, he has given up his extended family, given up a life he has lived for 35 years, given up shooting, hunting, stalking, fishing, acting the clown, royal duties.

Megan has it all, her mother, tv fame, wealth, and living back
home.

Seems no give and take in this marriage

Why is Harry making these pronouncements? I don’t understand, I thought he wanted out. I wish he’d just get on with whatever he’s doing in LA and leave Britain to get on with it. Harry is no longer relevant. Seems he thinks he is though apparently.

Gosh the replies posted after the article , ‘ she got his brain and his b*lls’, just one of many .

In the words of Captain Mainwaring.....'Stupid Boy!'

Except he's not a boy and should know better.

Amen to that Annie!

Are people on this thread actually obsessed?

Back to topic.

Harry has given an interview , he is so proud of what individuals in this country are doing. It is proving what
HE THINKS, things are much better than we are led to
believe through certain corners of the media.

It can be very worrying when you are just sitting there and the
only information you are getting is from certain news channels.

Seems it’s all wonderfully British !

Shut up Harry please.

Right firstly on mental health I have never condemned anyone suffering mental health difficulties or anyone who has attempted to commit suicide. I have condemned the reaction of a family who have been criticised for their response to a mental health problem. And I abide by that. There are dysfunctional families and some of them do not respond well to a member with mental health problems. Now if others are telling me to keep quiet what they are effectively doing is trying to put mental health problems back into the closet where they were for many years and I'm sorry I refuse to do this. I have no doubt that there are many families who support their members through the pain and terror of mental illness but the RF we were discussing is not one of those. I do not and never will use personal or family experiences in any argument on GN those who choose to are free to do so, but should never assume that they are in some way more knowledgable than others.
And Jabberwock I really don't understand why you can't appreciate that I simply look at what is happening and judge accordingly. I do not support or condemn I simply assess and decide on the basis of what I see and what I research.
maddyone if you can find some other reasonable terms for the posts about H&M on GN you may replace those words if you wish but I regard some of the statements as containing nothing else.
Have a nice day Les Tricoteuse!

I still think that photo was contrived, a bit like your faux admiration for the Sussex's trisher ! but, enough said!
Annie, even if you had ignored the comments about mental health and what eminated from these comments, I think they would have been just as hurtful to you and others either way. But again, perhaps enough said.

I was at fault for not ignoring trisher’s post , but I know there
are Gransnetters who have suffered so much from the suicide
of a loved one or are struggling now with the pain of supporting a family member with mental health problems.

Republicans want rid of the royal family and it is from many
republicans that we hear hatred and bile. But to use mental
illness to attack any family is a case of - rock bottom and
still drilling.

This descended into an almighty great bun fight. trisher the subject of the thread was very clear. If the subject winds you up then why not stay off the thread altogether and keep your sanity. You know perfectly well there are a lot of people who find H&M's behaviour annoying and they are fully entitled to vent about it on this thread without being insulted.

.........fairness and objectivity...........these are unknown qualities to some on GN who only deal in hatred and bile......

What a vile and vicious statement about fellow Gransnetters. Pot and kettle comes to mind.

Why not stick to discussing the subject in hand rather than resort to vitriolic statements about people you have never met.

Annie
You are correct, there are a significant number of Gransnetters who have spoken of the pain caused when there are significant mental health issues in a family.

trisher
You are squirming somewhat I’m afraid. We have all read your spirited denials and we know what you meant. As I said previously, you are treading on shaky ground when discussing mental health issues and dysfunctional families, and it is my opinion that you are very likely to be causing pain to other Gransnetters with your continued statements. Please, for once, let it rest.

Oh whatever , we all have some shit going on and its easy to accidently offend.

Absolutely right GrannyLaine.

The heart of the problem trisher is that you know full well that you have caused deep offence to someone who will suffer the pain forever of losing a loved one to suicide. Wouldn't it be kinder to everyone to acknowledge that, apologise and move on?

trisher it wasn’t a suicide attempt , no more to say to you,

Annie I explained why I used the Daily Fail. You have alleged that suicide is an important mental health issue then dismissed an attempt by a troubled young woman. You use what suits you when it suits you. I have commented about reporting by the Daily fail never ridiculed posters for it. I leave personal attacks to you.

Have you won trisher ? This will amuse you, we have never
agreed but I have always had respect for you, no more, you used allegations of attempted suicide and a link from the
Daily Mail , a paper you have always ridiculed posters for
posting links to.
