When is a royal tour, not a royal tour?

They are tv celebrities, you may like them, I don’t,

If you don't like them, perhaps ignore all the hype

Equally, one could ignore threads for the same reason.

Agree, just ignore articles and posts about them if you don't like them.

Meghan has announced that ‘for 10 years she was the most trolled person in the world, but she’s ‘still here’.

Ah, that's what I heard on the car radio today only I thought it was scrolled not trolled

Is that an achievement?

Do we care?
Not a jot.

And, how does she know?

I think she'd have some way to go to equal the trolling and abuse J K Rowling gets. She gets rape and death threats in abundance.

Nobody should be trolled, but some of her statements do remind me of Trump's, he always has to be 'the most'. I don't doubt she is trolled, it's something people in the public eye sometimes have to deal with and none of them should have to.

I wish she’d change the record.
No wonder Netflix and Spotify have had enough.

And, how does she know?

She knows in the same way that she knows that she was secretly married to Harry 3 days before the actual wedding even though the claim was thoroughly denounced by any family members and officials And she knows that a member of the royal family made racist comments about their unborn child even though Harry subsequently retracted the claim And she knows that the royal family took away her passport and wouldn't return it even though she travelled overseas several times during that period But she definitely didn't know that Harry was a Prince when she went on a blind date with him even though she had Googled both him and William And she most definitely didn't know anything whatsoever about the royal family even though there are photos of her, as a young teenager, standing outside Buckingham Palace with a friend

Judging by the coverage on the 6 o clock news, Meghan still has to have Harry virtually handcuffed to her as they wander round.

In case he makes a run for it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 true🤣🤣🤣

Granatlast Excellent summing up of this disfunctional family. funded by us.

It's not just young people who see the Royal Family as archaic and unnecessary.

But these 2 grifters aren't the royal family absent. We don't pay anything for them. They left; don't you remember?

10 years ago I had not even heard of her and I can’t believe I am alone in that!

People don't remember and many fail to understand the function of the Monarch and how a Constitutional Monsrchy works.

Some members of a family whose brother, father uncle, sister, mother etc just happens to be the Monarch should be irrelevant as long as the Monarch does the job required of them. Their power is limited, unlike a President.
(Please don't bring up Ireland as a good example anyone. That is irrelevant too! 😀)

What does need to happen is that we should retain a Constitutional Monarch but make it easier to remove unsuitable or irrelevant members of the family from the line of succession.

Harry and Meghan are not supported by the British taxpayer, that's why they go have to earn a living and they are trading on their names and connections to do so, having rejected those connections. However, they are not representing the Royal family, they are celebs.

10 years ago I had not even heard of her and I can’t believe I am alone in that!

Neither had I.
There’s the truth and then there’s Meghan’s truth. 🤔

Excuse typos!

I hadn't heard of her either and wished it had stayed that way.

Nope. Ten years ago I wouldn't have had any idea who she was.

I wish she hadn't made fun of the Queen. I sort of liked her before that.

I don’t doubt that Meghan was cruelly trolled which may be the reason she wants to support other victims but their chosen path of self pity despite their lavish lifestyle works against them.

She has very publicly trolled members of Harry's family too.

Harry said in Australia that he decided long ago that he didn't want to go down the Royal path.

Lucky him, having those options. William has no such luxury.

Do you mean about the curtseying thing Millie22? I recently stumbled across something from 2024, whilst Megan and Harry were on a tour in Colombia. Apparently, there's video footage of her teaching children how to curtsey and they practised on her! Her life's dream; having someone curtsey to her! So much for eschewing royal life.

But happy to trade on his title and connections.

Perhaps he should forgo all that and become plain Mr Henry Mountbatten-Windsor.

I agree, Allira, but I suspect Meghan wouldn't like it!

I wonder who's footing the bill for their trip. Flights, accommodation and so on.

Let's not forget the famous "I can't believe I'm not being paid for this" comment when last in Australia, so presumably they are being paid by someone.

Must be amounting to a pretty penny!
