1. We can't really believe everything we hear in the news, I'm talking about 'Catherine feeling the loss of her relationship with Harry.' if it is true, which maybe it is...but it's not like Catherine herself wrote that article...so the Bo hoo comments are a bit weird really.

2. The article with Charles and his flying...well, for one it shows that Meghan and Harry don't get singled out , which they have subtly claimed with their press releases and this has happened in the past to other members of the RF. In his defence, he was in one country for the anniversary and then had to travel to another for other engagements...it's not like he was using them for his own private use.
Bit of an aside, but I have mixed feelings about private/air travel and it being used by people who are, not exactly climate change activists even, but supporters in the public eye. From your comment here Robin, it seems like it was a practical necessity if he was going to carry out those engagements. I guess they weigh up the benefit/impact of the engagement vs impact on the climate. Tricky.

Agreed. I noticed this too. The DM spins a yarn about how devastated people are. Kate is crying over Harry. Will is devastated over rift with Harry. This is the same formula that assumes all these emotions over family issues... Meghan and her relatives... they really like to froth it up at the DM.

Also, re flying, Prince Charles is like a head of state. He’s one man representing his country. He’s fulfilling professional engagements. He’s got a packed schedule. All this carbon shaming is getting tedious.

All the hypocrisy focus takes away from the real issue of cumulative trashing of the environment. Yes, technology, like video conferencing is one solution, but why is our focus on the BRF? And not all the other players, strictly commercial, consumer loads, for big profit industries, big tourism on the world stage, etc.

Same with the BAFTAs. It’s a slippery slope. The creative arts are not democratic. What’s happening is the fields are becoming more diverse. And this is a great thing. But, a work of art has to stand on its own merit. I don’t see films based on diversity. I see them because they are well told interesting stories. And the offerings are so much more diverse.

I read they were calling for a different 007. Because Bond should be diverse, less sexist, etc. okay?

Call it virtue signaling or whatever but it seems to be its own theater. Harry has left the family in tears. Charles is wrecking the planet. If Will doesn’t speak out at the awards he will be branded an out of touch loser... and H&M, everything else... lol!

Perhaps you didn't catch my sarcasm.

RSBBM

Because they are the titular heads of the UK and as such should be leading by example. As the future head of state Charles is not walking his talk. The hypocrisy is being called out.

JMO IMO MOO

Clearly, the DM just makes stuff up. Kate is probably also not whining about missing Harry. It’s all for clicks and money. DM certainly doesn’t seem to strive for truth in reporting, yet it’s the most quoted media in this thread. When they vilify people we dislike, we like to forget that they don’t actually pedal the truth.

Love her!!!
My kids saw the report on tv and say "look mom, Professor Umbridge is going to be the Queen!"
She portrayed Prof Umbridge so well, exactly like the book, could practically feel the spite coming from her! I'm looking forward to seeing her as Her Majesty.

She will be amazing.

If anyone missed it, she was also brilliant as Becky Godden's mum in Confession (re Christopher Halliwell)

North Saanich store declares itself media free zone to discourage paparazzi - Victoria News

North Saanich store declares itself media free zone to discourage paparazzi
Store owner Rosemary Scott says Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle deserve privacy

Scott more than understands this desire for privacy. “Harry lost his mom to the paparazzi,” she said. “So I think he wants to protect his wife and child and have some freedom and that is part of the reason why [they are] moving to Canada, to get away from that. We really just want to give them their space.”

Scott said she believes the community shares her sentiments.

“All the customers I have spoken to are hoping that people can give them their space and be welcoming,” she said. “I don’t think Meghan and Harry don’t want to talk to the public. I think they do. They just don’t want to be harassed by the press. They want to be able to go out and be part of the community and be safe.”

BINGO!

Harry's private plane trip to /fro the Google conference were his own private trip.

H&M's private planet trip to/fro the Ibiza hideaway for M's birthday was a private trip

H&M's private plane trip to/fro the south of France to see Elton John were private trips.

Oh my word! Please let's not list the extent of the RF's private travel. We'll be stuck on it til next Christmas :D

This is heart warming. Nothing better in the world than salt of the earth people

I shouldnt take much notice. Base on the false stories that have cropped up on the thread in the last 24 hours from the DM, it's probably complete balderdash
I completely agree.
The usual 'a source claims' nonsense. I very much doubt security officers would go get coffees and snacks even if asked to do so. The DM are in a league of their own for the amount of BS they can churn out in a day.

Maybe they should teach a creative writing course, as fiction seems to be their forte.

Agree!
Not the first report coming out of that area where locals are pushing back on the paparazzi and international media
