What a surprise! It wouldn’t be a good look to keep letting them use their platform, makes sense from their point of view.

And TerriBull why does he expect police protection when in this country .

TerriBull Fri 23-Jun-23 10:06:17

I second Annie, if they've left, why.. are they using "Duke and Duchess" one or the other

Anniebach Fri 23-Jun-23 09:59:33

But Grany they haven’t left the royal family, they chose to use titles for themselves and for their children

Grany Fri 23-Jun-23 09:54:49

These two H&M have left the firm. You Annie defend the firm grin

Perhaps you should start a thread where you can post all this irrelevant stuff Grany.

I did suggest that yesterday on another thread as these constant attempts at derailment of discussions are annoying.

The subject matter is irrelevant to most of the threads but probably worth threads of their own which might attract some interest.

Anniebach Fri 23-Jun-23 09:50:36

Grany you are defending two members of the royal family, so sweet

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 23-Jun-23 09:47:58

Why are you contributing then?

Grany Fri 23-Jun-23 09:46:59

This is about H&M
@HarryHarryshud

They've been attacking them almost every day for years. Have they broke any laws? There should be better regulation on the media. This is pathetic and they crossed the line ages ago - this is stalking and very abusive. So many blindly follow this hatred.

Grany
This is not just about H & M
They do this with governments policy choice of leaders
It is a huge problem.

This thread is just about Harry and Megan Grany

The press are ramping up and going in hard now to try to win in the court of public opinion as they are going to lose in the court of law.
Toxic and out of control
This is not just about H & M
They do this with governments policy choice of leaders
It is a huge problem

I repeat : if posters used the quote facility there would be no confusion.

However, it is irritating when posters us the quote facility, the post is very long and the response is a very short sentence. Why not cut and paste the relevant part? 😉

You are correct, Meryl, best to use a name, saves confusion and is good manners into the bargain.

Good luck, Josieann, it was the annual trip to the safari part I dreaded.

Apologies lemsip
Maybe that's where Name usually helps.
Anyway, 8 am , must fly. 👋

lemsip Fri 23-Jun-23 07:56:12

Josanne.

now if you'd have read my comment you would have seen I was talking about the post immediately above mine. nothing to do with you!
but you confirmed just what I'd said

Joseann Fri 23-Jun-23 07:43:49

Eh? Was that ticking off for me lemsip. Sorry to have somehow annoyed you, but I was just slurping coffee and dashing to work, (if you call it that accompanying 30 happy kids to the zoo). I must have misunderstood the comment about traumatic childhoods? But my comment still stands ..... you don't have to let your sad past shape you or haunt you for life.

Prince Harry 'wanted to interview Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and Mark Zuckerberg about their upbringing and childhood traumas' - leaving Spotify execs scratching their heads before £15m podcast deal was scrapped

Harry discussed his ideas for possible shows with multiple producers and production companies, telling them how he wanted to speak to the controversial figures about their childhoods and how they became the men they are today.

He also reportedly wanted to speak to Pope Francis about religion - with execs left scratching their heads, according to Bloomberg.

This is where the saying you can’t educate Spam comes into its own 😄

lemsip Fri 23-Jun-23 07:26:05

so annoying when people don't read even the previous comment before commenting on especially when half hour between them,

M0nica Fri 23-Jun-23 07:24:18

After reading lemsip 's post. I can only refer back up thread to Trevor Phillips comments on this dreary duo and despair.

Their capacity for self-delusion and belief that they can change the world with platitudes, passes belief and it is beginning to place them among those who believe the world is run by reptiles. Presumably they will be the only members of the royal family who are not lizards.

Joseann Fri 23-Jun-23 07:24:05

Shame Harry couldn't have interviewed Nelson Mandela at the time. His father died when he was 12 and he went on to great things.
You don't have to be a troubled victim when you suffer a childhood trauma.

Calendargirl Fri 23-Jun-23 07:17:52

I wonder if he ever annoys her?

I wonder if she ever annoys him?

Thinking of the toe-curling curtsey demonstration. He certainly looked cross, embarrassed, awkward….

And the constant grabbing of his hand- sometimes he looks like he wants to shake it off and just walk into the place by himself.

Just read this on LBC NotTooOld

journalist Alison Yarrow revealed last year that her interview on the show was conducted by producer Farrah Safarfi.

Ms Yarrow, who appeared on an episode about the origin of the word 'b****', shared an image of herself in front of a sign for the audio production company Gimlet, and thanked Ms Safarfi for being an "excellent interviewer".

I like Meghan

Do you know her?
Can you list the reasons why you like her please, if you know her?

I don't know her but I know someone who does 🙂
