Uh Uh Harry ?

A debate isn’t possible with someone who thinks they know it all, pity because annepl wanted a debate as I do.

I hate the fact that so many people are in need in this country and that one family is kept in such luxury by the taxpayer, never wanting or needing anything for their physical comfort, never having to wait for medical attention. Eating the best food from places like F&M while some struggle to buy from the cheapest food shops. Yes, other people live like this, but we don't fund them. It doesn't matter what happens in other countries. That is not relevant And this family knows the struggles that the ordinary people have. It is morally wrong. And it is within their power to change it.

In today’s global word everything happening anywhere affects the world world.

We are not at all unconnected

mokryna have you any idea of the value of the wine stashed in the caves of the Elysée Palace!!
I went to dinner there once, mon Dieu!! hic hic

Oh, so it was you who drank away my tax money, while I was drinking water at my miserable abode.

For those who are aghast at the rules on housing in the new Cornwall development, my Labour council impose equally as restrictive regulations on my home in a "conservation area". They want to call the tune but are vehemently against paying the piper, and totally ban solar panels, not keen on double glazing etc but put speed humps, cycle and bus lanes on every available road. When you can't even replace your front fence or gate ( even if identical to the original) without planning permission it's gone too far!
As for Meg and Harry, they'll do whatever turns a brass farthing as my grandad used to say

Summerlove Talking about how RF is funded from tax payer making the point that some other people may be equally rich live in luxury but they are not funded from tax payer so not relevant to us, to the argument of RF.

I think annepl made sense and RF continue their lives not wanting to change how much they are given nor seem to care

This is classic!
From Celia Walden’s column in today’s DT
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry “have agreed to star in a fly-on-the-wall Netflix reality series, with cameras following them for three months”. Like you, I had to read the headline twice. Because, yes, this is the same couple who moved 5,462 miles away to escape the “public interest” and “media intrusion” that violated their “right to privacy”

Yes, these are the same two who decided to “step back” from the limelight and create “space” for themselves by carving out an “independent” and “progressive new role” in Hollywood – that go-to city for discreet people who live in fear of being “commoditised”
You couldn’t make it up!

The world is a different place to how it was back in early January, when H&M were contemplating their new ‘non royal, but still a sort of cherry-picked royal role’.

It is maybe finally dawning on them that they really will have to set to and earn their own money.

I am sure that all this is not what Harry had in mind when he (or Meghan obviously) decided to take the plunge into ‘real’ life.

Apparently they have denied they are going to be involved in a reality show, so who knows ......

Money speaks all languages! I agree with your Grandad Janipat, these two will certainly do as he suggested!!!!!

Also from the same DT column
A spokesman has informed Hello! magazine that “the Duke and Duchess are not taking part in any reality shows”. Then again, they categorically denied a move to America. The idea that their show will, in fact, be a “docu-series” only brings on another bout of hysterical laughter.

Summerlove I know we are all connected. I'm not stupid. You are twisting what I said. Or perhaps you didn't understand.

I don't think summerlove was twisting anything by mentioning today's global world and its relevance. Where royalty, particularly British royalty is concerned, the main players have always been on the front pages of many a newspaper and magazine. I remember Paris Match was full of stories of Princess Anne and subsequently Diana, Fergie etc

There have also been numerous programmes about the RF from documentaries to dramas, why there shouldn't be a musical about Diana's life I don't know. We have musicals about Judy Garland and Edith Piaf, why is Diana different?
And linking H&M with it because they have a Netflix deal is a bit like saying I can't be a vegetarian if I shop at Sainsbury's because they sell meat. There is no connection.

Apparently, Megxit, The Movie, will contain sensational home footage recorded during their departure from the RF!

There could be more than a smidgeon of truth in this because Netflix won't want a wishy washy docu-soap.

He who pays the piper, calls the tune.

Such glee

Anyway, Hold on to your hats, folks. There's trouble at t'mill!

annepl was making a statement about gross inequality between the rich RF and the poorest in U.K. It was about public tax funded RF and agree others who too are rich but not state funded So to compare other rich people to RF is missing the point. So can't compare as not relevant to the argument about RF funded and poor struggling. If you get what I am saying.

Thanks Grany, that makes more sense.

Well, We’re all in this together of course, so perhaps HM will have to re jig her Christmas plans.

If the Royal Family could be seen to be making concessions and sacrifices re the Covid situation, it might seem so much fairer to the rest of the population.

Let’s face it, HM will hardly be basting her own turkey, wherever she spends the festive season.

Eeh up, there's trouble in the ranks!

I bet Catherine could baste her own turkey though.
I hope no-one would expect their 94 year old granny to do the catering for them.

I hear that M&S do very acceptable ready meals.
Popty Ping.

Where would we be without Popty Pings Callistemon? Too many yucky porridge saucepans for me for a start!

I might try scrambled eggs in my Popty Ping Lexisgranny!

Also a favourite Callistemon I can recommend them!

Whether Catherine would be willing to cook for the whole Windsor tribe is another matter though.

At least there’ll be 3 fewer than past Christmasses though.

Scrambled egg saucepans are worse than porridge saucepans, Lexisgranny.
So I may try that at lunch-time.
