H and M visit Queen

The Dutch royal family snubbed them ????????

Or, if you like, "2 private individuals who are no longer working Royals will not stay in Royal Palace but in a hotel."

I don’t think that there’s anything ‘Soft’ about either of them. Their track record shows they know exactly what they are doing. The Dutch royal family snubbed them ????????

And they wanted their American security guards to have access
to MI5

Me being bitchy but my thought was “What do they want”?

I thought they might do that as this way they could be in and out without the publicity which might put them in danger. When you see the vitriol on forums like GN and then add in a few terrorist nutters, you can see why they might feel that they are in danger without adequate security. Maybe their security at The Hague is somewhat better than they are being offered in the UK for a memorial service!

I think they were told quite firmly that they couldn't bring armed security guards in with them.

Just a thought. It just occurred to me that they might have flown in privately before and just not been spotted?

I’m glad Harry and Meghan came to visit the Queen and also pleased they did it quietly, without fuss.

It strikes me though, that they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

Imagine the outcry if it had been announced beforehand - the media would have had a field day. This, I suspect, is probably the real reason they didn’t attend Prince Philip’s memorial service - the media would have made them it’s focus rather than the memorial service itself, and H & M would have been accused of stealing the limelight by some.

I'm off now too and I haven't even been in.

Glad to hear it

P.s. Laura-on-a-point-of-Order…. I don’t “like H and M ! Im indifferent to them I just find the full on negativity and unkindness a bit much.
