Didn't the thread suggesting one tiny negative thing about the Cambridges get deleted earlier this week?

Best mind our ps and qs

Well look who's woken up and decided they better say something.

This is what I was referring to Lucca - people can’t be calling out those who criticise the Sussexes when they’re doing the same to the Cambridges.

Hilarious. Pages and pages of sniping at Sussexes. One tiny comment about the precious cambridges….

I think it’s time for a Saturday ?

Ah, my mistake. Your finger's clearly on the pulse.

No, it really doesn't.

It really, really doesn't.

If people can't see the difference between the weekly anti-Sussex thread relying on criticising them for something that everyone else did, and me pointing out that the Cambridges have finally woken up to the fact that the world expects everyone to comment on the situation, then they really are biased.

You really need to change your style.....?

And you need to keep up with what everyone's been saying for the best part of a week.

Why would you think I haven’t? ?

“Posters will put aside feelings of respect and pride for the people of Ukraine if it means they can have a go at Meghan and Harry.”

True - and the same applies to those having a go at the Cambridges....

If you mean me. I did not have a go at the previous Cambridges.

Meanwhile London and it’s landmarks show solidarity with Ukraine- I now expect the “who do they think they are” comments.

Don't hold your breath waiting, I wouldn't think more than one or two on GN are anything other than 100% for Ukraine and its people. Why would anyone object to showing solidarity with such bravery as is being demonstrated?

Not wishing to be rude, have you actually read any of this thread? ?

Well glad to have had you laughing until you cried.
I am obviously too thick to be commenting.

No, sorry Rosie51, that's not what I meant.

What I meant is that this thread was started solely to object to a couple expressing solidarity with such bravery. And its gone like a train. Posters will put aside feelings of respect and pride for the people of Ukraine if it means they can have a go at Meghan and Harry.

I criticise the Sussex pair, not posters

Big difference between the Cambridge and Sussex messages,
the former didn’t lecture the leaders of other countries ,

Dignity and respect

I don’t understand what you mean.sorry.
M and H post a small paragraph on their website and get slammed on here.
The Cambridges do an announcement in a similar vein. I am just asking if that is OK for those who criticised the other one ?!

Okay....
volver suggested the Cambridges were late to the party with their public support, compared to others.

I suggested that it might have been their second offering and another private and personal message may have been sent previously, given that the Cambridges have obviously met the Ukrainians.

Oh I see.. thanks !
