The British Royal Family

[Lilibet]

May Harry rest well tonight and enjoy tomorrow with his family.

He is a man of great moral courage. I can honestly say I am more impressed with his actions than those of anyone else I’ve witnessed.

His mother would be pleased.

MOO

Great post and sentiments, @Han. I share them. Thank you!

Jeez Louise, cant believe the baby carrier police are onto her now! The woman cannot breathe without criticism. It really is bullying at the worst level IMO. If she breathed in, people would scream she should be breathing out .

My son was carried the same way and he's fully grown with no evidence of squashed nose syndrome

I think the DM just posted a nice news story about Meghan! I know, I know, everybody get a cup of tea and have a nice sit down.

I guess I'm not over the wretched way Camilla treated Princess Di. I can't call it a home wrecker 'thing.' She was a home wrecker, straight up. It was real and it was ugly and messy. Did you read their messages to each other?

I have no respect for her or her husband. JMO

I certainly hope Charles does not become the King of England. Naming Camilla the Queen would be a travesty. I don't think it can be done. It would be a joke, in my opinion.

Meanwhile, in little ol’ Blighty, we're generally ok with Camilla. We see that Charles should have married her in the 1970's, like he wanted to but wasn't allowed to. We see that his marriage to Diana was chosen for him, because she was perfect on paper and not because he truly loved her.

We'd be furious if Camilla wore Diana's jewellery or used the title Princess of Wales, and we feel a bit weird about her being dubbed Queen when the time comes. But both of them have worked really hard to turn around the public perception of them and, most importantly, William, Harry and The Queen have fully accepted her into the family.

Charles will get maybe 10 or 20 years on the throne (he's 71 now) by which time William's children will be grown up and he can dedicate his life to ruling this country. Can't wait to see him and Kate at their Coronation!

Does anyone know what made Prince Philip very dark around his eyes?

Yes! @Bravo. 1000 times YES. I can’t even comprehend where a comment like that comes from. It’s very dark. And makes me hurt.
JMO MOO

I don’t believe OP said they’d “rather” Harry return for England alone, more implied that’s what would happen. This thread would run much better if people wouldn’t attribute everything someone says in a negative way.

I really dont have much interest one way or the other about H&M.

But I have always felt Will, and Kate handle their position very well, and have admired them both greatly for years. I think Kate is beautiful.

The only one I truly feel sorry for is Queen Elizabeth who has been an amazing Queen.

I do find it odd that H&M use the excuse of the media hounding them where they can't have a private life, yet to make any money of their own the media, public, and movie sites will most likely be involved. Seems a little disengeniuos to me, and confusing.

I believe I read recently that not everyone in Canada is all that gungho about the couple residing there part of the time.

If they decide to live in LA some of the time it will also attract more media attention, and glaring limelight.

I'm not sure I feel H&Ms marriage will be a long lasting one, but hope so.

Jmho.

Ran out of Touche Eclat?

Probably just his under eye skin thinning so much with very old age

I think they know very well it's disingenuous and confusing because it us, and their dilemma is that the two things are mutually exclusive if they stay in the royal family. Imagine the mental anguish Harry has gone through to get to this point. One thing had to be shelved and with other things to be taken into consideration, like unhappiness, they've made the tentative choice to see how it goes living elsewhere and being free to try lots of other opportunities.

Harry was referenced as Prince Harry. He will only regain the title if he returns after a year to stay. I just wanted to clarify.

 

[Bravo]

I'm here for the positive news. Evident in my posts. Carry on......

I'm kind of hoping nothing much gets reported at all, though a photo of Archie would be nice! Let them settle in and decided what's what.

I'm still giving side-eye to the fact this has all neatly bumped Brexit and impeachment stories off the front pages!! Zero idea what's going on...

I am hoping they are left alone to settle in their new life and enjoy their baby away from the press- thinking that if they don’t do anything to give people reason to talk about them maybe they will get the peace they are looking for ? We shall see

Imo or imo or moo so there is no outcry from posters who cant handle another opinion ....

Mm could have conquered the world and her causes without the RFs money...

Meghan Markle's objective is 'fame and fortune': 'She and Harry will never find happiness,' sister says

Anything Samantha says I take with a very small grain of salt. MOO IMO

Serena Williams classily shuts down interviewer asking about Meghan

And, more friends like Serena Williams.

I’m kind of glad to be sidelined from world news.

We are still getting over Brad & Jen breaking the internet at The Sag Awards!

—Ginormous change take a while to process. Harry could still do something with the troops, the wounded, the disabled. He’s an elegant spokesman. I believe it’s Harry who is the marketable one. He’s got serious global experience. And, there is some heavy hitter investing money out there.

 

[Oregonmama]

Class act... Their marriage will last, imo. Hopefully Harry will realize in a year what he lost .... jmo, imo, moo..
