Oh dear, it's not going well is it?

Anniebach Sun 03-May-20 12:43:43

Galaxy making money is strongly criticised on this forum ,
you don’t read the politics threads ?

merlotgran Sun 03-May-20 12:40:05

I've seen lots of comments on other threads about the obscene amounts of money footballers are paid for 'kicking a ball about.'

That's OK then. hmm

Galaxy Sun 03-May-20 12:39:50

I am not on the far left thanks, I still find the obsession with meghan very odd.

Galaxy Sun 03-May-20 12:38:42

You asked for an achievement, I gave you one.

Anniebach Sun 03-May-20 12:38:25

Hate is a favourite word of the far left, I didn’t like Corbyn , seems I hated him for four years ?

Criticising the names of Tory politicians children is acceptable but criticism of a woman who is willing to subject
her father to a court case for releasing a letter five friends of
said woman had released to the press is hatred.

merlotgran Sun 03-May-20 12:37:26

So have some pretty objectionable people.

Achieving money doesn't mean you are above criticism.

Galaxy Sun 03-May-20 12:34:04

She's earned more money than most of us will ever see.

merlotgran Sun 03-May-20 12:32:10

Please fill me in on her achievements, trisher.

I can only think of one.

merlotgran Sun 03-May-20 12:30:34

Since when has irritation and exasperation been hate and bile?

trisher Sun 03-May-20 12:29:00

WWMK2 I second that. I really don't know exactly what she has done to merit the comments on GN. It is very sad that older women don't at least acknowledge achievement, and insist on labelling her a wicked woman. In the past I suppose they would have claimed she was witch.

Anniebach Sun 03-May-20 12:26:21

You have missed a lot of threads Whitewave.

Boris Johnson. Phil the Greek. Jacob Rees Mogg, Prince Charles, Camilla, just to name a few.

Whitewavemark2 Sun 03-May-20 12:21:16

Never in the history of gransnet conflict has one person attracted so much hate and bile.

merlotgran Sun 03-May-20 12:19:04

I've never seen Suits. Was she any good?

Galaxy Sun 03-May-20 12:14:44

Indeed we cant have women pushing forty as actors.

Galaxy Sun 03-May-20 12:14:09

I couldn’t have put it better myself Jabberwok.

They said they wanted privacy and a quiet life, but go to live in LA??? Well I’m sorry some posters think I’m not allowed an opinion, but in fact I do know more about H+M than Clawdy knows about me, because Harry has always been in the news, and Meghan has been in the news since Harry met her. And anyone who wants a quiet life does not go to live in LA. For that reason I assume Meghan wants to resume her acting career. Good luck to her, although I think at pushing forty she probably doesn’t have much chance unless she can trade on her royal connections. And there we have it, trade on the royal connections.

Frogmore is secluded , too secluded ? No cameras

Jabberwok Sun 03-May-20 10:28:22

This of course is where it is such a tragedy. Before Meghan Harry was such a lovely chap, hugely popular, a great asset to the RF, more importantly, the Commonwealth and seemed, along with William and Katherine, firmly set to take the RF into the 21st ccentury and beyond. He and Meghan could have done great things and been immensely popular both here and abroad - a couple to be proud of. Why they chucked all that away for a life in tinsel town is beyond me, bewildering and deeply disappointing! The answer to your question Annie, is No!! If she was,they wouldn't have left it! Surely they could have found a secluded property in this country if they wanted privacy, the Wessex's manage to, William and Katherine manage to, even the Queen manages to! I don't know anything about their daily lives apart from snippets , nor do I want to! We see them now and again and that's enough,both for them and us! And now this court case!
How foolish is that?! I can't believe Prince Harry is happy, or will be, for him it's a tragedy unfolding before our eyes!

Anniebach Sun 03-May-20 10:20:02

I fear history will be repeated, his mother cut off from her family and ended up with the Fayeds

merlotgran Sun 03-May-20 09:58:01

When it all goes pear shaped and Harry, if not Meghan, returns to the UK because their Hollywood career was a non starter, he'll be able to blame coronavirus.

It's never going to be their fault!

Anniebach Sun 03-May-20 09:56:40

Would Meg have any interest in the Commonwealth? I doubt it.

Chewbacca Sun 03-May-20 09:50:32

It's interesting to see what the rest of the world has to say about H&M.

New Zealand Tribune:
In January, it seemed obvious who would come out on top when Harry and Meghan exited royal life stage left. In hindsight, that is starting to look more and more like a huge miscalculation.

SkyNews Australia:
Mr Dean said this is typical of the Hollywood lifestyle “attacking the press, but of course they want the press they always do”.
“These two are just a shambles,” Mr Dean said.
"Clearly Meghan has had just a disastrous effect on Harry who was go back six or seven years ago was terrific".
“My prediction remains, in five years’ time you won’t even remember who they are”.
Fellow panelist and The West Australian’s Jenna Clarke told Sky News host Paul Murray the
pair are “disgusting and I’m so ashamed they were once part of our great commonwealth”.

Not just the UK then.

Daisymae Sun 03-May-20 08:58:00

Massive mistake. It would have been long forgotten by now. The only winners are the lawyers.

Jabberwok Sun 03-May-20 08:52:59

Me too Loisl ! No criticism from me, just the same confusion! confused.
Janipat ?????!

Loislovesstewie Sun 03-May-20 05:31:16

I haven't commented on this thread so far , but I am increasingly confused by this pair. I just don't understand what was so difficult about their lives in the UK . It must be hell to live in a palace, have all of your bills paid for you, have servants to do all of the mundane stuff and in return be able to travel the world making speeches etc. While the rest of us are worried sick about all of the small stuff , like how to make ends meet etc. I'm sure this comment will attract criticism but I don't mean it unkindly , just in a confused way.
