Harry attending coronation alone.

Ps although some (not all) millennials may think the world revolves around them, it doesn't.

OK Foxygloves

Some really believe the day of the coronation was chosen to make things difficult for the Sussex couple,

Others put it forward as a suggestion because it suits their POV.
Who knows?
I, (along with all posters on GN) don’t know the real reason why he’s coming alone.
H&M tell their own version of the truth, the media give their own version of the truth.
We discuss it endlessly giving our own opinions.

As Dickens pointed out about M whatever she does from now on will be the wrong thing wrong thing^.

Truth

I’m still stunned by the level of anger directed especiallly at Meghan but also at Harry. We don’t know them or own them . We can’t control or influence what they do.

Like lots of gransnet posts /threads its ALWAYS the DIL's fault ,the sons are being manipulated like puppets! Sometimes I wonder why I even come on here so many very narrow closed minded women .I thank whatever god you all have that I'm not one of your number.
The royal family cares nothing about any of you why on earth are you all so invested in their lives ?

Iam,no different to anger for Camilla, Charles and others in the family, exception being Diana.

I don't get it either

It's very scapegoatesque

paddyann54 It's just a discussion which we're allowed to have, whatever you say..... and you are on here joining in

Annie, we agree often but not on this issue. There was anger to Charles and Camilla because they were seen by many as having always wanted to be together but been dishonest about that when Diana, much younger, was clearly struggling. That anger seems to be largely a thing of the past.
I don’t agree Diana was the exception, many people, especially those in powerful positions expressed anger and made fairly disgusting comments about her.

Iam I meant Diana on GN.

The anger for Megan is for her lies, she made fools of many who thought her wonderful ?

It is funny isn't it. The most glamorous and the most humane members of the RF are consistently cast as the evil fairy. It's almost as if the very masculine firm can't tolerate such people. (And yes I know the last monarch was a woman, but one who very much subjugated her female side to fulfil the male idea of a monarch).
I can see why Harry thinks there are parallels between his mother and Meghan. But I think she's made of stronger stuff.

Gloryanny - I agree with you on incoming women in the RF. I like the way P Ann and her children appear to manage being RF whilst living life on their terms
Diana, Sarah Ferguson and Meghan
M quickly fell foul of the men in suits. I don’t define those three as perfect people but neither are the powers that set out to make them carry the negatives.

I've said it before

But I absolutely wouldn't cope with what happens in the press, I'd be a nervous wreck and not able to respond well

I don't think anyone could hande it perfectly

I absolutely agree. The press build up and destroy so often
I understand why fewer women choose politics for example. We live in a
Society where misogyny moves freely amongst us

When it comes to Meghan, I don't think misogyny has anything to do with it.

Harry, knowing how the press and the media can be should have known better.

🤔 so you think every Gransnetter is wrong except you??

Have you read every thread? There is a miriad of opinions on Gransnet from so many different people.

The press have so much to answer for.

However, so many of the Royals have run the gauntlet of the press. It really is quite disgusting.
Most have just ignored it all, kept their heads down and got on with what is expected of them, although we don't know how they felt in private.

Eventually it seems that sinners become saints in the eyes of the press.

It's a strange phenomenon

When it comes to Meghan, I don't think misogyny has anything to do with it.

Harry, knowing how the press and the media can be should have known better.

Yes, he knew how destructive they can be but tried to use the media himself, not realising the media always call the shots.

Anne never loved the cameras, never sought them, Diana, Fergie, Megan did

I don't think managing and trying to use the media is anything to do with "loving" them. It's simply trying to do your best with the situation you find yourself in. Anne was lucky in that she was young and socialised before the press became quite so intrusive. She was able to build a private married life.
Diana lived a young life in the public eye, Fergie was noticeably followed and spied on. Meghan managed them better but was more used to publicity. It was the vile comments that upset her.

I think they were really unpleasant to fergie because she didnt look the way they expected a princess to look.

Galaxy yes and worse, didn’t behave as ‘they’ believed she should

Sarah wasn't posh enough either, although she was far posher than most of us!

I always liked Fergie. She was cheerful and straightforward. Obviously, Andrew likes her too as they've lived together ever since they married despite divorcing. Not sure why they bothered to divorce.
