When is a royal tour, not a royal tour?

Vegansrock 15 April 05.32 : 'Oh we haven't had a Meghan bitchfest for ages…. Lets all pile on…..'

Exactly 🥱- I was a fairly late comer to this thread and just watched the pile on develop but then felt prompted to post. I have said several times I have no love/positive feelings towards M and H and no hate/negative feeling towards M and H- I am neutral. However the level of negativity and global trolling and vitriol towards M particularly I feel is unwarranted and disproportionate.

Yes, 🥱!
But you've certainly helped swell the posts on this thread,LemonJam to now bring it into the top 5 on N & P behind Mandelson. 😆

In some ways, I agree with a poster who says M & H have achieved what they hoped to. ie keeping themselves interesting, in a weird way.

Maybe Meghan and Harry are a sort of form of entertainment for people, which then puts them firmly in the celebrity category. The trouble is, the quasi royal aspects of the tour make things confusing. And that's where we started from here.

As an aside, I must say though, that many of the names contributing to this thread are also more than capable of discussing other, more profound, subjects in the N & P section. So woe betide anyone getting snooty and looking down their superior noses!!

LemonJam, if you are neutral why read the thread?
Just scroll by and read one that interests you?
I never click on a title that I'm neutral about. It's very odd!
Did you come on here to tell us all off??

Allira 13.27.

You certainly seem to be a follower of M Allira and appear to want to post negative inferences about her. Not sure what you source is, or what the circumstances of "lost' employees might be. Were they actually lost, resigned, sacked for breach of confidentiality clauses, left to have a baby, moved country- could be all kinds of circumstances. Is 18 a bad number compared to others? Neither am I interested in speculation of how many staff may have been appointed, lost, dismissed, resigned or left over how ever many years for any other celebrity or RF member.

With reference to your suggestions- I agree its useful for posters to make clear who they are quoting or who they are responding to. I always seek to make clear. I use inverted commas to quote other posters, usually after typing their name and time of their quote. As I directly followed you at 13.15, I did make clear your name and quoted you directly and ended your direct quote with speech inverted commas. this time- didnt add the time. If you look you can see the inverted commas.

As for stars, underscores or strike throughs, links etc my MacBook doesn't allow those facilities on Gransnet so not able to comply with that suggestion - sorry.

Oh, how funny!

No, just facts. It's really rather difficult to avoid Meghan and Harry on TV, the media, Gransnet and Mumsnet too, especially when they try so hard to avoid publicity.

Oh ok. Interesting. I was wondering whether or not to buy one.

You don't have to be pro or con an issue to read a Thread on Gransnet.

Yes but if you're neutral about a subject , it implies lack of interest so why bother to clink on it?

I think the bit I find the tackiest is the promoting the clothes she wears on a commercial website.Clothes worn to visit sick children and survivors of a massacre.I've no doubt it drives attention to certain designers and in Meghan speak that is 'empowering ' and in'investing in women' .Still the cynical part of me thinks what % does she gain by?

Between 10 and 25%...she is very foolish if she thinks this will make her more popular.

Why does my dislike of someone who lies make me a bitch ? Hello

Oreo 14.49 - I've just tried pressing the quote facility as you state- that doesn't work on a MacBook either 🤷‍♀️

No I'm not Meghan's biggest fan Oreo. I am neutral towards her.

How strange every last one of them works on the MacBook this is being typed on. Strike through too

There's some chatter on MN and YouTube about whether Megan's choice of outfit was entirely appropriate when they went to meet survivors of the Bondi beach massacre. Having had a look at it, I can kind of see what they mean.

No, MarieElla, it shows curiosity, and a willingness to find out.

Find out what?
Some information so as to no longer be neutral?
I'm neutral about Victoria Beckham so I never click on those threads.

Find out what has piqued my curiosity.
You do you and I'll do me.
That's the Gransnet way.

So, do I do the Gransnet way or do I do me???

Oh, interesting.

It does make it very confusing if you can't tell what is a quote, what is an answer, who said what etc.

Yes I saw that too. I'm sure it's just an unfortunate choice of shirt, but if this 'semi-royal' tour had been a proper one by working royals the advisers would have picked up on the potential for criticism and advised a change.

Which she most likely would have rejected as she knows best...as ever!

Well done that sunbather on Bondi Beach who continued to lie on the sand reading her book while H & M plus photographers walked around her.

She looks bemused 😀

My first post on this thread................but I've just got to say it, I just love that woman, make her an honorary Dame for services to those who don't buy into the circus of fawning over f***wits!
