It’s just been announced, Prince Harry has lost his appeal to have armed security provided when he is in Britain.
I’m not surprised.

Please ! Trump is a criminal awaiting many trials . He has already been convicted and owes massive fines . He is awaiting more serious trials . He is the last person that can threaten Harry .

Glorianny Seems a bit hard on the kids and on Charles, who probably won't see his grandkids (mind I'm not sure he'll be that bothered, he's not really affectionate is he?)

Goodness me, all those photos of Charles not being affectionate!

It's amazing on these threads how there is name calling, aspersions are cast on H&Ms characters, they are blamed for all sorts of things, but no one hates them.
Presumably then you just enjoy saying awful things about them.
I can't decide what's worse.
Saying awful things about someone you hate.
or
Saying awful things about someone you don't care about.
I think it's probably the second. After all if you really hate someone you have at least an emotional response to blame.

Different ways of getting attention

Glorianny Wed 28-Feb-24 21:11:44

Anniebach

Violet Elizabeth Bott comes to mind.

In that case "I'll scweam and scweam and scweam until I'm thick"

I know what she said, and she didn't say they deserve all they get because of who their parents are.

What do children's rights have to do with the discussion?

If you're referring to H & M's children's rights, what about their rights to know their extended family which includes M's family who also live in America, but who they've never met?

Oh absolutely nothing if you think they deserve all they get because of who their parents are.

It isn't palatable Glorianny anymore than unsubstantiated accusations of hatred are.

Glorianny Wed 28-Feb-24 20:40:06

No Glorianny my post was about your's and VS's unsubstantiated accusations of hatred.

I don't think hatred is meant to be palatable.

Good to see the jolly old "sins of the father" still operates on GN. Wouldn't want any children's rights creeping in

Doesn't make it anymore palatable though does it Callistemon.

Make what palatable? Proper protection for someone's children?

Smileless2012 Wed 28-Feb-24 20:31:39

Good point merlotgran.

welbeck Wed 28-Feb-24 20:29:27

Glorianny, what makes you say that about the King.
on the contrary, he seems v affectionate with his grandchildren, and probably step GC too.

Smileless2012 Wed 28-Feb-24 20:27:21

I'm not aware that security concerns are why the King has never met his GD or seen his GS since he was a baby.

Oooh be careful Glorianny suggesting that Charles wont be bothered about seeing H's children because he's not really affectionate might be viewed as hate speech.

Glorianny Wed 28-Feb-24 20:23:22

Callistemon21

^He wants to pay for it himself but for his security to be able to be armed, as those protecting other members of the RF are^

Not allowed here, it is against the law for bodyguards to carry any weapons.

Although it may well be legal in the USA.

No-one hates them, as you keep trying to assert, Glorianny, although they may dislike what they do and be weary of their shenanigans.

Of course they don't Callistemon21 .grin
However even you can't dispute that he is probably more at risk than any other Royal.
As I said he will probably fly in and out of the UK occasionally, but Meghan and the children will not. Why would they? They are protected in the US. Here they would not be.
Seems a bit hard on the kids and on Charles, who probably won't see his grandkids (mind I'm not sure he'll be that bothered, he's not really affectionate is he?)

Callistemon21 Wed 28-Feb-24 20:16:24

Strange, isn't it.

Well, not because we know why some people do this.

Smileless2012 Wed 28-Feb-24 20:14:43

What hatred VS? If you and Glorianny are going to imply that there are posters on this thread expressing hatred of H then back it up.
