I have just read that Harry & Meghan are planning to visit Columbia later this month for 3/4 days.
Could someone explain why they would be safe in Columbia, but not in the UK ?
Ditto, Nigeria.

No more than Zara, Beatrice and Eugenie’s husbands

Do they get multiple death and rape threats?

Who gets death and rape threats?

If Harry hadn’t made such a song and dance about security from the very day he and Meghan flounced they would have been able to slip in and out of the UK with their own security just like any other high profile American celeb. The more he flogs this dead horse, the more the media will whip up the wrong kind of attention.

Meghan has no intentions of ever coming back as she knows she won’t be warmly received. It’s not all her fault. Harry created this monster!

Macadia just because it's a business trip doesn't mean you have to leave your young family at home though.

It's a choice.
I would have taken mine if I was going somewhere and had their privilege/resources.

Oh, I might not, not if I had a good Nanny 😁

Ha ha.
I would just take Nanny too! 😂

I don’t think the Queen spent very much time with her children when they were small
I m sure he’s a lot safer anywhere they don’t have all the haters over there that they do here
Good luck to them both
Vegansrock totally agree anything to poke the sleeping lion Nasty thread and why is it inbshouty capitals

Not hate, but strong dislike of liars

H and M have been subject to an avalanche of online and real life abuse- anyone who doesn’t believe this should give their heads a wobble, whether they deserve it or not is a matter of opinion. Rape , violence and death threats among them. Anyone remember the vile Piers Morgan comments- that was mild to some of the stuff you can see online.

VioletSky Fri 02-Aug-24 13:23:17

It's so unfair that children of royalty/celebrities get born into this life where their every move is observed and judged

I don't know how they cope

Are you aware of the thousands of similar threats made to J K Rowling because she acknowledges the reality of immutable sex? Should she also be able to have armed security when she's out and about?

Harry coped, lots of tv interviews, mega deal with Netflix, wrote a book

VioletSky Fri 02-Aug-24 13:30:39

That is what he is used too, says nothing about coping

They also have children caught up in this. Imagine growing up and realising your parents got death threats

Truly awful

VioletSky Fri 02-Aug-24 13:31:47

No-one should be getting death threats

Let us not normalise that behaviour

nanna8 Fri 02-Aug-24 13:32:59

They were on our news tonight but I don’t know why, switched over to the Olympics and watched the swimmers.

The death threats are truth ? as truthful as the Arch Bishop
marrying them in a garden 3 days before the wedding ceremony, M flew to America without a passport because her passport had been taken from her.
And the rest

VioletSky Fri 02-Aug-24 13:41:44

I am shocked anyone would doubt it, we know people say awful things about them

Anniebach Fri 02-Aug-24 13:43:19

There are unkind things said and death threats, I assume these death threats were reported and investigated

*Vickymeldrew*, they are not going there for a family visit or a seaside holiday with children. This is strictly business. Same with Nigeria and Turkey. The Archewell Foundation raises awareness about cyberbullying and health issues. The foundation chooses to visit the most crime-ridden, dangerous places in the world with efforts to improve the lives of teens and children.

The founders chose to make efforts to do good in the world. I don't care who they are. (What is said about ^Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye?^) I have seen other things that are less newsworthy and can skip over news titles that I don't want to see.

I can honestly say I have never seen one instance of Archewell Foundation or Harry, or Meghan, say or do anything to ‘ raise awareness’ of cyber bullying or any health issue. All I have seen is them complaining about how they were treated by the media.
I’d like to see an example of Archewell Foundation’s work.

People have been prosecuted for making death threats against Megan, I looked it up

So there is no need for anyone to believe they are lying

Anniebach Fri 02-Aug-24 13:54:26

Link to names of people prosecuted for making death threats to M please
