I came across this article posted on MN.
It strikes me as very perceptive as Harry yet again drags up his mother’s death at the Invictus Games.
It’s so inappropriate and disrespectful to those thousands of injured servicemen and their relatives that an over-privileged, extremely wealthy individual constantly turns the subject to himself.

Norah are you allowed to make rude and personal comments like that. You're not actually debating anything, just hurling insults.

WellsRose Sun 10-Sept-23 16:10:52

I'm sorry it's only ROOMS not bedrooms. How does cope?

The son of Prince Edward is the Earl of Wessex; Earl of Lichfield is an entirely different family.
Your posts are becoming increasingly incoherent and inaccurate.
Try using a spell checker and google to check facts.
That is advice.

It's also funny when people use the words rejected the UK. It sounds like it's personal. It's not, you decide where you want to live. It doesn't cause the British people any suffering.

Because we the people pay for the RF then people do take it personally.Most were pleased that Harry was going to have a wife, loved the wedding and looked forward to them both playing a big part in things.Many were understanding that they both felt they needed to opt out of the RF and live in another country and wished them well.What they really hated was the way that Harry and Meghan then set out to publicly trash the RF, constantly whining while holding their hands out for money and titles.

Foxygloves Sun 10-Sept-23 16:20:09

The titles are not deserved by anyone. You get them through birth right or you marry someone who has that birth right
Like “inheriting” your surname at birth or for women, taking your husband’s surname on marriage So illogical isn’t it?
That’s why I’m MRS Gloves (FH’s surname) Fancy, whoulda thunk it?

BTW Sophie and Edwards son is Earl of Wessex (formerly his fathers title) but never let the facts get in the way of a good anti-Royal rant.

Foxygloves Sun 10-Sept-23 16:27:24

If we give.out titles at birth then we have to accept they have the right to keep them or use them. Archie and Lillibet have that birth right
But they did not have that right at birth as their great grandmother was still alive. The grandchildren of the monarch may be HRH and in due course when the Queen died, their title was granted to them
As somebody suggested upthread, facts can be checked simply enough. .

I have googled the facts. I do use spell checked but how would it pick up Lichfield? I should have just typed Earl because that is the main point.

I have processing problem so I'm always going to struggle with sense checking. It gets worse when I'm passionate about something. Unfortunately there is not much I can do about that. If you're struggling to understand then all you have to ask for clarifaction.

What other facts have I got wrong?

Anniebach Sun 10-Sept-23 16:34:39

Dukes of Sussex, York, Edingburgh are not birthright, they are given by the Queen / King.

If Harry had not been given Sussex when he married he would still be Prince Harry and Megan princess Henry

He's an Earl. Surely it's that's it.

So if it's no different to having a surname at birth of being Mrs through marriage, then why the fuss about Meghan and her children.

WellsRose Sun 10-Sept-23 16:43:10

Oreo. Surely it we pay for The Royal Family then we should be pleased that they are criticised. They earn their own money now and the titles were given to them because of who Harry is.

Not quite so many homeless families then.

I don’t understand your last sentence.

It doesn't matter if they were given them at birth, inherited after the Queen died or were bestowed by the reigning monarch, it we give out titles, then the recipients use them whether we like it or not.

(Looking around for somebody making a fuss)
Oh, Meghan of course and yourself.

I don’t understand this either.

It could still house a considerable amount. My mum spent the first five years sharing a lounge with her parents and siblings. There were I'm sure there are families living in cramped conditions who could make use for a couple of those rooms.

I am sorry to hear this, perhaps being less impassioned and histrionic would make it easier for you to think through calmly what you want to say, there’s plenty of time to formulate a reply, read it through and think again before pressing post.

Wow just wow. You are being rude and personal. I do have AdHd as well as a couple of other learning disorders. Only found out why I was impulsive and always rushing a few years ago as nobody likes to be different But to accuse someone of having a personality disorder (histrionic) is so so wrong.

I think if you've got any decency, yourself that post to be removed.

Foxygloves Sun 10-Sept-23 17:29:53

If I have offended you, I apologise, my intention was to be sympathetic and helpful as you had said there was “nothing you could do about it”
My suggestion was genuinely meant.

They could also make use of all those second/holiday homes owned by ordinary people, or millionaire footballers or overpaid TV ‘personalities’.

Foxygloves Sun 10-Sept-23 17:33:01

Certainly did not mean to imply any sort of personality disorder, so I completely withdraw that.
I suppose I meant”dramatic, OTT, exaggerated,” which I see as synonyms.
Apologies for the misunderstanding.

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 10-Sept-23 17:41:29

I have made the same suggestion in the past, type more slowly and review before posting - and received the same response Foxy. It’s obvious from the speed of the responses that WR types very quickly and posts without looking at what she’s typed.

StacyAnna Sun 10-Sept-23 18:07:03

Perhaps, WellsRose, you would do well to take a break from this thread? (this too is kindly meant - I have looked at this thread from time to time and you do seem to be getting upset / agitated?). You may feel quite passionate about your views but you are not going to “win” on this thread - do you have friends or family who think similarly to you, with whom you could chat, if you feel the need? Best wishes to you.

When you are identified as having a certain condition it explains certain types of behaviour. Having identified the cause you are then advised of strategies to manage this condition. Re reading what you write, and using a spell checker to correct spelling, and google to check facts, are all easily available. There is no such thing as Earl' you are Earl of somewhere, other than Earl Spencer; it can be hereditary or coferred as a new creation.

I thought Harry took it very well when the somewhat older German Defence Minister in a suit annihilated him at football. He made some witty jokes in an embarrassing situation! ⚽️ 🥅 🇩🇪

This is good, empathetic advice from Foxygloves for you WellsRose, as to how to manage something you yourself have identified as a problem.
