Harry attending coronation alone.

Whilst your correct about that Glorianny it’s must be entirely possible for Harry to have himself and his heirs removed from the line of succession, because as we all know, one actual king removed himself from the line of succession, he abdicated!

Not likely Harry is now number 5 in line

It's a national event of importance, not a family wedding or christening.

Harry is fifth in the line of succession and he should be there and probably Meghan should too unless extreme circumstances prevented them from attending.
Otherwise he should formally request that he and his heirs be removed from the line of succession.

I'm not sure he could do that. Parliament decides the line of succession . www.royal.uk/succession#:~:text=The%20Act%20of%20Settlement%20confirmed,the%20title%20to%20the%20throne.

No wonder I think we should be a republic!

In my opinion, it’s simply bad form for Meghan to miss this.
The children are not a problem, they could have been left at home with a nanny or Doria, or they could have accompanied their parents along with Doria and a nanny. Good grief, I’ve babysat my infant grandchildren for entire weekends and they didn’t come to any harm, and neither would Archie and Lili. The suggestion that the children can’t be without their mother for a few hours is ridiculous so long as another caring adult is with them. After all, who was looking after them for an entire fortnight when the Queen died?

This.

No, it’s not a family event, and yet, in a way it is. All the rest of the family will be there, and it’s likely Charles wanted his son to be there, just as any of us would for a far less important family event. But it’s also a national event, so all the more important for family support, with the eyes of the country and much of the world on it all.

Harry is a sucker, she’s had all her own way, estranged him from his family and now will bleed him dry.

You don't know that Harry is a "sucker", and neither do I, neither do you know the dynamics of their marriage, none of us do - we just speculate.

She might bleed him "dry" - then again, she might remain happily married to him for the rest of their lives.

One thing is certain though - the woman will be criticised for not attending the Coronation, and would also be criticised if she did.

I think Meghan is very attractive physically. I’m not keen on her apparent personality. I say apparent because I don’t know her, I only know what’s been reported she’s said or actually said herself in interviews.
I don’t know why she’s not coming to the coronation, none of us do. I do think it’s poor form of her to not support her husband though. I wouldn’t have ever left my husband to attend an important family event alone, and I would expect his support for me also at any of my family events.

Attractive ?, about average, there are plenty of “physically attractive” women with awful personalities she is one of those.

If there was a choice of my husband facing things on his own or the children being left behind, especially on a Birthday, I know what my husband would expect. He'd say he was an adult and a child's needs come first. Neither would my husband expect me to run the gauntlet of a hostile family or press.

I can see why she wouldn’t want to attend the coronation. I don’t like the sound of her or how she interacts with the press at all but to discuss her personal appearance in those terms is not on.

I'm not a fan of Meghan at all but I think your comments are beyond the pale RVK1CR

And women savaging other women over their appearance, detailing their perceived flaws... my goodness, it's an ugly trait.

As for the not-being-pregnant slur - some posters (not on here) made the same accusations about George Clooney's wife, Amal - and even suggested 'she' was in fact a 'he'... goodness only knows why some people are so full of - well, I don't even know what to call it, bile, spite?

Criticising people for what they do is one thing, but laying into them because of their looks or because they've had cosmetic procedures is really hitting below the belt.

Ah! - a new opportunity to have a go at H & M.

A Sugar.

Yes, Anniebach, she did have her fair share but her longevity and the fact so many of us on here 'grew up' with her gave her a public pardon in her later years. Unlikely the rest of the Royals will have that.
For those of you asking if there is a flypast I am pretty sure there is. My main reason for being in London for the event. I love the flypasts, especially if they bring out that old lady, the Lancaster. I watch it on the Strand or Fleet Street where they come in right over your head. Costs a fortune I know, but the sheer expertise and precision is to be marvelled at.
Of course the main bonus is I get to see at least one daughter and possibly all three.
I'll go nowhere near the Mall and couldn't care less who is on the Balcony. I am glad though Harry is coming. I'd have liked them all to come as I think it is a bit sad a family can't at least show civility for a main event like this.

The Queen certainly had her share of criticism and gossip throughout her reign

None of them can ever hope to enjoy the respect and affection that so many of our country folk had for the late Queen.

They can only do their best.

I would not change places with any of them.

I don't think Charles and Camilla are worthy to be King and Queen
In the past Harry seemed happy enough to be a spare, I remember pictures of him with Catherine and William smiling and apparently enjoying their company.
Or was he being better at acting than his now wife ,was ?
Diana certainly was treated badly, but there was no need to make a TV programme to highlight the situation
And of course years later her youngest son does exactly the same..
I have to remind myself that, these people, the Royal Family are nothing like me. Their lives are completely out of touch with mine, and vice versa
That is why, I just don't and never will understand their values on behaviour and standards
Maybe it is because I am judging them against the late Queen ?
And who am I to do so !

RVK1CR's post is vile and well below what we expect to be allowed on Gransnet.

You shouldn't have to avoid giving someone a compliment because of what other people think of her.

Not your fault at all Galaxy.

Well that was my fault saying for saying she is beautiful. I should have thought what would happen.

Its like a sickness, isn't it?

If she has had work done, so what? Lots of women do, if she wants to, then good for her.

Not only are you spitting vile criticism of her appearance RVK1CR, you are spreading the unfounded pregnancy rumours.

You're a disgrace.

Yes.

Cant comment about her face ...... but at least Meghan hasnt had a boob job.
