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.

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

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

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 ????????

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

I apologise for any who I might have upset earlier on. I’ve just come back to this thread to say that. I see that the comment was made in a humorous way, not how I interpreted it. My husband tells me all the time I’ve got no sense of humour. It seems he’s right.

Just because you don't laugh at his jokes doesn't mean you've got no SOH maddyone

Callistemon

Callistemon does have a point there maddyone.

I think it was a pity they didn't bring their children to meet their great-granny.

I'm sure, if she is at all like us grannies, HM would have loved to meet them.

They could have safely left the children with a nanny at Windsor while they went to the Netherlands and picked them up on the way back.

I know the queen now has quite a lot of great-grandchildren, but each one is special.

Yes that is a pity varian, it would be sad if she never gets to see Archie again and of course has never seen his sister.

Perhaps they have.
Who knows?

Perhaps the Queen is avoiding treading on bits of Lego, playing peekaboo with Lilibet as we speak. Sorry, post.

No worries Maddyone !

It does seem a shame that the Sussexes didn't bring their children to see the Queen and the rest of their family. Family estrangement are very difficult as we have seen from many threads on GN.

Lucca

Sodapop estrangements are awful for those involved, and it must be particularly difficult for this family with everything played out in public.

Thank you Marydoll

It is now being said they will use the visit for their next Netflix. Who knows? At least the Queen will have got to see them.

If true shame on them

And if not true...?

Who is the shame on then?
