The day the Queen died.

Didn’t know I’d wandered into a bash Meghan thread.

Well it's at least five minutes since the last one.

Any Royal thread soon has Meghan involved.

Now why could that be I wonder?

Because Megan is so eager to be a royal , she has a title her children have titles, unlike many in the royal family who are not concerned about having a title

Princess Anne.

So what does her "power" consist of? Opening things? riding horses?

Watch what happens now the king is incapacitated Glorianny.

The Princess of Wales.

Meghan and Harry are irrelevant, they have opted for private life and live thousands of miles away.

What private life MOnica ?

General interest in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is tailing off. We are hearing less and less of them as interest fades. They will end up living the private life they have professed so often that they desire.

They have signed a new deal with Netflix, hope you’re right

It's 4 years since they moved away,2 years since their last visit. They seem to be doing a pretty good job raising their children away from the public gaze. Why not just let them get on with it?

Away from the public gaze ? Tik Tok uTube is in the public gaze

Glorianny I think you would find that most people actually wanted them to quietly live their own lives once they had decided to leave the UK. This is what they said they wanted .... instead of which we have had horrible comments in the Oprah interview, in books (I'm including Scobie here) and Netflix, slagging off the Royal Family and Britain in general.

I agree with Glorianny about the Sussexes' parenting, in not exposing their children for the world. I have always admired them for that. The children are not shown on YouTube or tiktok.

Gloryanny That is what most people wish they would do. Unfortunately their income depends on continuing in the public gaze and the less interest we show, the more they have to work at it.

The children are shown, Archie on the beach, Archie in a wood, Lily gazing at a photograph of Diana, Archie, his sister and his parents sharing a birthday cake, and many more

That's hardly parading them or staging a shoot for the public. Just a few natural photos where the kids happened to be there.

A child in a parents arms touching a photograph on a wall, the child just happens to be there !

There are a few family photos about.
It is actually illegal to photograph a child and publish that photograph in California. When a paparazzi tried to take photos of Archie M & H took legal action against him.
They have protected their children well

^They have protected their children well

Yep, you put it well Glorianny.

The Queen died and we were all very sad. She had been in my life all the time. So why are people picking over who said or did what on that day? I don’t understand. Let her rest in peace.

Sadly one member of her family made it known to the public
what he said on her death bed

Glorianny you compared The Princess of Wales with a 1950’s housewife. You admire Megan highly

Don't "admire" either of them. I just find it offensive that the only acceptable role for a woman in the RF is to walk behind her husband and smile sweetly. It's the 21st century. Women mean more than that.

Mmmm..bit puzzled by this statement. Didn't our late Queen take the lead for 70 years? And has Princess Anne ever walked behind her husband, smiling sweetly???????

They probably didn’t want private grief and details of a sad, historic occasion sold to the highest bidder.

Agreed merlotgran!

No but they didn't marry in did they?
Women who marry in are expected to conform.
