The day the Queen died.

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

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

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

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.

Glorianny

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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.

What private life MOnica ?

The Princess of Wales.

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

Princess Anne.

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

Watch what happens now the king is incapacitated Glorianny.

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

CoolCoco

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

Any Royal thread soon has Meghan involved.

Now why could that be I wonder?

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

"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."

yes and didn't the Queen be the "Queen" for a long time. It a nonsense that you have written. Women in the RF have high positions and are powerful.

So which woman (apart from the dead Queen) in the RF is "powerful"? How can an outdated, anachronistic, supposedly constitutional monarchy have any power? Aren't they supposed to be just a figurehead?
And any woman who does step out of line is soon thrown out.
Diana, Sarah Ferguson,(Until she was judged less threatening) Meghan (but Harry went with her)

The late Queen was meticulous in her skills of organising an occasion and following protocol. It is my belief she was equally meticulous about leaving instructions as to which family members would be at her death bed. I rather imagine, given that dying royals are no longer obliged to die in front of Uncle Tom Cobley and all, she was likely to specify her own children, especially the heir. After that, the grandchildren, again the heir apparent. Why on earth would recent wives need to be there? The woman had the right to die in peace and with dignity.

There's quite a difference between being dominated and allowing your wife to do her job in public while you are quietly supportive!

More daft notions 😂

I doubt that Vice-Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence is dominated!

Some men are strong, silent and are not whingers.

But didn't Prince Phillip do exactly the same thing? And Princess Anne's husband Vice-Admiral Timothy Laurence?

In the RF sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Well actually it's all pretty offensive, but worse for women. When you think of the cultures which have this as a normal occurrence. You would imagine that any organisation headed by a woman for so long would have adopted a more progressive attitude.
It's funny when you think about Anne-always outspoken-, followed by her rather dominated husband. She probably makes the decisions.
But Meghan is castigated for dominating Harry!!
