Catherine and William versus Meghan and Harry

Looking at the latest visits for Catherine and William where they seemed to be there to learn about the groups they were visiting and to give support and praise and NOT talk about themselves; versus Meghan’s two visits which seemed to have been used to show how benevolent she is and to further lecture the ‘needy’. The 2 groups didn’t ask for a visit so if they weren’t seeking help why did she go? I had great sympathy for her but by going out on the publicity trail so soon after the Sandringham meeting, it makes me feel she’s sticking 2 fingers up to the RF, saying look I am needed over here, I can’t be bothered to do it in the UK but I can in Canada. Also I found it interesting she didn’t need to hold Harry’s hand in order to get through the visit. As per my previous post I still do feel sorry for Harry, but I have lost all sympathy for Meghan.

Baffling, I don’t read threads on cooking because I am not
interested , should I post on them and mock ?

Artdecogran They never are. Read the comment following yours.

I suppose it’s human nature to gossip ( isn’t that what the anthropologists say?). I think that’s why I support a monarchy- something to fantasise about .( I know - get a life Atqui) But I don’t think there’s any need to be vitriolic about the characters in this theatre.

Kate is no angel....she changed Universities and flaunted herself to capture a Prince. She played her cards right .

What a nasty thread I won’t take part but I m not impressed at all with either the title or some of the posts
Artdeco are you really that innocent that you didn’t think this would cause ill feeling You wouldn’t say who is best my eldest daughter or my youngest so why would you start a thread about someone else’s children
Nasty

Maybe Kate is no angel crazyH, and maybe she was determined to get William, but all respect to her, she has at least followed through on the demands of the role which became hers as a result. Not like Meghan, who wanted the royal title, but doesn’t seem prepared to undertake the responsibility that it entails.

How do you know what Meghan wanted?

Until all this blew up, I had taken no interest at all in Harry and Meghan. I didn't even watch their wedding.

However, it all seems so obvious that this has been created by the media. The source of allegedly knowing what Meghan wanted seems to be her own family. Frankly, they don't seem like a very pleasant bunch and I'm not in the slightest surprised that she doesn't want anything to do with them.

The people who are fuelling this are those who seem greedy for gossip about the royal family as the ultimate soap opera.

grannymy Thu 16-Jan-20 16:38:45

All I want to say is that Catherine is very dignified and never seems to let herself or the royal family down.

Anniebach Thu 16-Jan-20 16:44:10

crazyH which University did Kate attend before St.Andrews?

GrannyLaine Thu 16-Jan-20 17:06:29

@Anniebach, she didn't. She apparently changed plans on leaving school, took a gap year and applied to St Andrews instead of Edinburgh which was her 1st choice on UCAS

Anniebach Thu 16-Jan-20 17:15:21

Thought so GrannyLaine thank you

I think Meghan's intentions were obvious from the start. No wonder William wasn't keen! She has what she wanted anyway, a title, world wide recognition and a never ending source of income because of her son. She is now free to follow her own agenda and push brand Meghan as much as she desires.

The one thing (ok, not the only thing) that keeps getting me narked is this bloody Daily Mail thing (and used by some posters) of referring to her as "Kate Middleton" !

For heavens sake, how long ago did she and William get married? She is not Kate Middleton

Similarly, Diana was not Princess Diana.

(Grumpy old bag tonight)

Not true that she changed universities - where on earth did you get that from?

Anniebach Thu 16-Jan-20 21:49:19

Does flaunting oneself guarantee a Prince ? , that’s where I went wrong, wearing an Akela skirt and jumper wasn’t flaunting was it ?

Yehbutnobut Thu 16-Jan-20 22:46:17

What a shocking title to this thread.

vegansrock Thu 16-Jan-20 22:51:27

The bitchfest continues, on and on......

pensionpat Thu 16-Jan-20 22:56:00

I’m not usually interested in RF but the Megan and Harry show is just like a soap.

Chewbacca Thu 16-Jan-20 23:12:28

The griping and moaning that this subject continues to be discussed goes on and on and on........

maddyone Fri 17-Jan-20 00:03:11

Yes easybee, I think a lot of people would like to do that.

maddyone Fri 17-Jan-20 00:08:15

To be honest, if you don’t like it, don’t read it! Read a thread on knitting, or whatever else you’re interested in.

Grandma2213 Fri 17-Jan-20 01:25:40

Seems to me there is always a Royal wedding/birth/scandal etc to take our attention away from the government and what they are doing (or not doing). Cynical ... Moi?!

Lyndiloo Fri 17-Jan-20 02:20:01

I foresee that Harry and Meghan will be divorced within the next two years. (Such a shame.) But the lifestyle that they are envisioning for themselves just won't work.

kittylester Fri 17-Jan-20 08:22:20

I'm inclined to agree lyndiloo and the sooner the better so Harry can move on.
