Wills and Harry rift blown out of proportion

If I had said ‘Someone should have clocked Charles one years ago’, there would have been outrage from some posters, but it’s ok to suggest bashing Harry?

I agree Emily

Someone should have clocked Harry one years ago ?

I think that’s a truly shocking comment from one who purports to be a Christian and an allegedly caring mother / grandmother. And I don’t think adding a smiley face at the end makes it funny!

A really unpleasant comment

Ellianne if you had started a new thread there would have been the few who had to be sarcastice.

I thought it a lovely photograph, age 3, I love that age , thank you

What is all this about "bad guys"? It is like the title of this thread states: "all blown out of proportion".
I apologise if I was a bad guy for posting an innocent photo of a sweet little boy on his bicycle. This is a RF thread and the child is a little prince. It made far more sense to include the picture here than to make a fuss starting a new thread announcing it. No big deal.
I apologise if it was offensive. How was I to know it would upset those GNs who are not parents or grandparents?
And as for my being "excited" about the image, that is a laughable comment.

Who is Les btw?

Thank you Iam64

Wait a minute, someone posts that appreciating pictures of cute children is a mother/grandmother thing, thus excluding those of us who are neither from appreciating said pictures.

I'm not a parent so I can't make such "natural" comments.

And I'm the bad guy?

No Algeria’s, you’re most certainly not the bad guy ?.

Part of my working life involved training police/teachers/social workers/health etc etc in working with children and families. A recurrent theme was the number of course leaders/participants , who were not parrnts

I loved the photo of that dear little boy. Somehow he has a representative function. Its hard to put into words what I mean. I suspect, however, that William and Catherine's children receive presents and cards from Grans and others throughout the country. People care about them.

Bonnie bairn.

We've got bigger issues to put on the front pages here in Scotland. (Vaccines, Cummings, Climate Change....but mostly Les)

All sad

So seeing a photo of a lovely, happy little three year old is cheering.

Yes that delightful picture of Prince Louis was on the front page of virtually every newspaper today.

A lovely smiling happy little boy looking very smart in his nursery school clothes.

A beautiful picture.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY. PRINCE LOUIS!???

Goodness me, Casdon! We'd have had to have a fight over him!

And such a shame, Alegrias1.

My Grandma and I sat in the reception of a New York hotel many moons ago. Cary Grant lived on the top floor. We waited and waited. Went to the loo. Came back and saw his rear end as he got into a waiting car.

Not when I was there.

Maybe I'll start another thread.

How could you marry him Gannygangan when he was mine! I last saw his version of the Rollers about 6 or 7 years ago in a 70s show, and he was still rocking then. A bit of our youth has gone.

Did he ever come to visit his Mum?

I was a Derek girl myself. Once sat outside his childhood home hoping he'd come and visit his mum.

This is getting a bit morbid.

Well getting back to Les. I fully intended marrying him.

Went to see him when I was 14.

Very exciting.

I've also learned that Jim Steinman has died which is sad.

As for small boy on bike. He looks lovely.

I didn’t read it like that, I think anybody can appreciate a picture of a cute little boy, and you don’t have to be a mother or a grandmother to do so, so we shouldn’t assume that only they would?

I did think it was a lovely picture, he looks full of the joys of life.

That will teach you Lucca

This is barmy.
A derailment on this thread 2 days ago because air miles were mentioned, now a full on collision about a photo!
Fasten your seatbelts for the next ride.

Goodness me all I said was I didn’t get the excitement over a little boy none of us knows I said nothing to imply anyone else couldn’t get excited/pleased!
