Oh Harry.

Please leave the political comments to Meghan.

Just keep it zipped

In the video Harry comments on the fact that in the UK he wasn't able to vote for 'his entire life.'

Neither has anybody else. grin

You should get a job proof reading their messages first merlot!

I never thought I would agree with Trump but when he said “... I wish a lot of luck to Harry because he’s going to need it.” I can see what he meant.

Trump has actually said for once what many of us have been thinking. I never thought that day would come!

merlotgran Thu 24-Sept-20 09:15:47

When Trump says things like that it's usually a threat.

She really does pull his strings doesn't she. Poor Harry, I think he is unhappy away from the life and family support he has always known. Meghan is very selfish in her actions.

Why- they have opted out.

No they have kept their titles and Harry has kept his HRH and position in the line of succession.

Harry has lived in America for a few months and is telling
Americans to vote .

I wouldn’t want an American husband of a British tv actress
telling me to vote.

“ next to a messy looking Meghan. ”. She looks good in the photo in the Times, wearing a brownish shirt ? Surely she doesn’t have to wear a dress and handbag ........
Once again, not saying I support her or anything just disagreeing on a fashion issue before I get shouted at !

Further to his comments yesterday there is a front page picture in the DT of Harry wearing his increasingly familiar sour expression, next to a messy looking Meghan. This is to draw attention to the fact that Buckingham Palace has distanced itself from his intervention in the US election.

Ha!

Very true smile

Opted out ? No way, they have kept their titles

Opted out of what?

Anniebach Wed 23-Sept-20 22:10:41

If she hadn’t married Harry !

biba70 Wed 23-Sept-20 22:07:12

Nonsense- they did not endorse any candidate- but reminded everyone how important it is to vote. Quite right too.

If some of you think what they say is endorsing one candidate and not the other- than it is because they are spot on.

merlotgran Wed 23-Sept-20 22:04:06

Do as I say, not as I do comes to mind.

Or, 'Do as my wife says because I do as I'm told!'

SueDonim Wed 23-Sept-20 21:56:47

What's wrong with it? It's a simple short speech telling people to vote. I would have thought that was something most on GN would approve of.

Being told to vote by a man who has never voted in his life? Do as I say, not as I do comes to mind.

Yet another example of having your cake and eating it from the tedious Sussexes. Protocol is that royals are studiously neutral when it comes to politics. So here they are being distinctly unroyal and independent lecturing the US public on what to do while at the same time happily grabbing at every offer their royal status presents. Time for Queenie to cut them off, I think.

Callistemon Wed 23-Sept-20 21:49:03

I hardly ever read anything about them except at those times, like now

I only read about them on Gransnet, MawB
?

Ellianne Wed 23-Sept-20 21:19:41

Isn't it good to encourage people to take part in the democratic process?
Yes, that bit is fine trisher, but what's with the five or six shots of THEM on tour making wide eyes. As someone already said, they think they are protagonists in every show, even the presidential elections.

Isn't it good to encourage people to take part in the democratic process? Interesting that Harry says he can't vote in this election, do you suppose he is planning to become a US citizen?

Anniebach Wed 23-Sept-20 21:05:14

It doesn’t bother him that if Trump wins the election and makes a visit to the U.K. his grandmother and his father will
have to greet him.

He doesn’t need his father now he has Netflix.

They remind me of John and Yoko.....another rich and sanctimonious couple who believed the world was waiting on their words.

What's the point in being an actress if you can't morph into an other character. grin
