Be careful what you wish for, Meghan.

Yes, Trisher, you are right, it is a corner worth fighting for.

Yes Clawdy please stay. I really don't want anyone to think that all grandparents are rightwing either. Older people get enough bad press as it is.

By now nobody would have remembered the letter. I agree with merlot I'm sure she thought there would be no problem with rewriting the rule bookI suspect complete misunderstanding of how our royalty works.

Her world is not his world. In time he will realise it.

Sadly most people on this this thread are right-wing, Daily Mail reading, racist and ignorant old boots.



Apart from being called racist which I strongly object to but because you say you are new, Clawdy, you may not realise that personal attacks can be reported.

Given the usual claptrap aimed at Clawdy I think she had a right to respond to it. And it isn't personal, no one is named. I suppose if someone recognises themselves then it beomes personal.

Clawdy please stay, there are lots of nice threads on GN, but unfortunately politics gets people very passionate.
I don’t mind that - but I would like us all to be polite to each other please.
As most of us are grans, what sort of examples are we to our GC if we get personal and abusive in discussions? Everyone of us is entitled to our (differing) opinions.

Indeed they can! People on here can express what political views they please, read what papers they choose without being subjected to personal abuse. If you only want a particular brand of political thinking then this may not be the right platform for you, if on the other hand you are tolerant of other opinions and can express your own in a balanced informed way, the conversation can be lively and interesting.

As a tomboy I hated dresses and when my daughter was a girl I could see how impractical they were for her when she wore them (I have yet to have a granddaughter). When I look at Charlotte’s dresses online they look so beautiful. She probably changes into more practical stuff when she’s not ‘on show’. I think she has Carol Middletown’s eyes too.

Middleton’s

Perhaps she prefers to wear dresses, some little girls do, on the other hand maybe they are just for show! I think she looks extraordinarily like the Queen, as she looks now!!! I agree about the eyes though!

Yes, if I get a granddaughter I hope she’ll like pretty dresses too, and the Sylvanian families!

Clawdy You complain that most posts on here are "vindictive and vile" ..... and then you post a vindictive and vile post yourself saying "Sadly most people on this this thread are right-wing, Daily Mail reading, racist and ignorant old boots."

What makes you think you can insult people like that?

Yes I agree Clawdy This is a most dreadful thread a lot of talk about M&H who they don't really know.

I hope it is realized that many grans are in their forties and fifties these days! just saying!

I was once! 50's that is!!! The OP is about M&H, so there is bound to be conversation about them! Choose another conversation if you don't like it!!

And some of us and were part of the Aldermaston marches too. Can't get too much left wing than that
Now, what were you saying again,please?

Me too Alishka

Me too BBbevan

Wouldn't it be nice if people could have a reasoned debate without being rude and insulting to other GN members whom they know nothing about. I wish people could be tolerant of the views of others and have a "live and let live" approach in these challenging times.

People may well not know Harry and Meghan personally, but as public figures they have a right to discuss them. What makes a person discussing H+M on Gransnet ‘right wing, Daily Mail reading, racist, and ignorant old boots.’ What a vile thing to say about people you don’t know. Amazing, Gransnetters have apparently got no right to discuss H+M because they don’t know them, but Clawdy does have the right to be viciously rude about, wait for it, people she doesn’t know! You really couldn’t make it up.

Absolutely Jabberwok and Sparklefizz, couldn’t agree more with both of you.

maddyone don't you know the rules? You may not have an opinion about M+H because you don't have an intimate relationship with them, but you are free to label, criticise, condemn, insult, blanket group, or anything else may take your fancy, towards any other posters on GN whether you know them on any level whatsover. Please pay more attention in future!

hey, let's hear it for the middle-aged ignorant boots too, the glammer grans.
not that i'm one but i'm all for inclusivity. is that a word. is now. i wonder where exactly middle-age tails off....and old bootery begins ?

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.
