The British Royal Family

[firebird]

My guess is they know the address of the mansion and have staked it out so that when her vehicle leaves they follow ? And then when they park and get out they see this and do the same ? Maybe one or two runs ahead to get the face shots? I watched the documentary about Diana in her own words and I was shocked at the lengths the photographers went to -
I think she wants to look like she’s a normal mom walking her dogs with her baby - but I think it was set up For them to get these pics
JMO

Yeah, I have no illusions about the lengths photogs will go to. But these were definitely set up. Especially under the circumstances where they are major news right now specifically with regard to the media, amongst other things.

‘An easy choice’: B.C. charter turns down paparazzi seeking photos of Harry and Meghan’s pad

Meghan makes public appearance, but low key Vancouver Island community takes it in stride

“The property sits at the end of a private road, behind a gate. But since the royals moved in, a white tarp has been placed behind it to provide added privacy. A temporary metal fence has also been erected along the edge of the property that leads down to a public beach and a security camera and dog now keep watch.”

So was MM off property on her walk? If not, wouldn’t the photographer be trespassing?

Yes I believe she was in a nearby park so off the property.

Im just going to throw in my opinions of the paparazzi photos after reading everyone's comments.

I do think the long lenses were used as you can see in the video which means they were further away and could of very well been hiding in the bushes. And I have no problem with the statement being released or their right to have privacy.


What I do have a problem with Is how much Meghan seemed to enjoy it. She's smiling happily at the camera. Why? When they have supposedly jumped out of bushes...

It's not a good image of their supposedly annoyed stance on it. Bottom line is for me...it looks slightly staged (the long path) and she seems to enjoy it immensely

IMO

I’m glad I wasn’t famous when I used to walk around with my babies in front packs or the online trolls would have had a field day with the odd ways in which I had to rig them! They are wonderful girls but man were they fussy babies, and I wore them the “wrong” way I’m sure. Anything to keep them happy!

Moms trashing other moms online are worst of the worst IMO.

Archie is about 8 months old, if I recall. She should be pushing a stroller.

Or at least turn him around

Perhaps Archie is sleeping.

My children as babies had to be walked to quiet them sometimes. It could not be fake walking by simulating it while sitting.

we could drive them in a car, but when we would take them out of the car seat which you had to do in the olden days, they would wake up and be rejuvenated for hours. So walk it was.

Some people have advocated putting them in a car seat on a washing machine for the movement.

There is much research about putting babies in different things such as baby seats, all negative.

Meghan has the baby next to her body, the best thing of all

Thank you @happyday

So why was she surprised that someone would try to get photos since she was out in public? If you’re craving privacy and don’t want pictures -best to stay on that beautiful estate.

Not arguing with you at all. I just noticed that your post commented on their right to privacy. Literally no one has the right to privacy in a public park. So if that's where she was, all bets are off as far as objecting to photos unless there's more to it than that. I'm sure she's well aware of that.

Archie isn't sleeping in the pics that I've seen. Most 1st moms are all about advice, avidly reading tips from others who have been there. I'm concerned about the baby, not shaming anyone. Yes, babies are pliant, but a bad position and/or improper setup of a carrier can lead to pain and/or injury. He is obviously not skin to skin, and at his age, should love to look at the world around him. Those dogs start to run while he's improperly strapped in, there would be a problem.

I saw this earlier. Diana loved her one shoulder dresses but I cannot imagine her wearing that particular print!!

OT: Just jumping off your post to share what my Dad did to get me to stop my colicky screaming in our Greenwich Village NYC studio apartment in 1946, and to give my Mom a break. We lived near NYU and there were large metal grates in the sidewalk. When he pushed my carriage across the grates, I stopped crying. When he reached the sidewalk portion again, I started screaming again. And so it went until I finally went to sleep. Parents do whatever they have to do to calm their babies. It’s no one else’s business and certainly unfair to criticize.
JMO MOO

I just meant overall privacy...the reports of the paparazzi camping outside their house but this incident from what I can see is in a public space so I'm in agreement with you there

Yikes... this would spoil the Super Bowl ads..... a British man endorsing American property taxes would a huge blow to him

I imagine it will be difficult for them to control the use of their image in the US - expect to see them on all kinds of stuff.

My poor mother had to leave the Kirby vacuum cleaner running to keep me sleeping when I was colicky. Now, I fall to sleep at night with the sound of a high speed train running through my IPad.

So, according to this article in the BBC, it was paparazzi hiding in bushes who took the photos of Meghan walking the dogs with Archie strapped to her, and not a friend. And Harry and Meghan are not happy about it.

Maybe this is why the DM spun it into a 'feel good' story about Meghan?

Harry and Meghan issue media warning over photos

I don't know why they expected it to be any different. I truly wish them the best but I sometimes (okay often times) wonder what in the world are they thinking. If they thought the press was bad before they need to buckle up because it is going to get worse I think. They are not behind the protection that they had in BRF. They chose to leave the BRF and now they have to pay the consequences.

I met a couple from Canada who said that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip spent years staying for two weeks at Jasper Lodge. No one knew it. It was kept quiet.

They said Canadians aren’t big into celebrity stuff. Of course, pics of Harry and Meghan will bring huge money on the worldwide market.

And so much for Meghan wanting attention. The pap had to hide in the bushes and H and M have issued a warning.

It worked for Kate and William about the topless photos and the warning about taking photos of George, IMO.H and M have that trail blazed by Kate and Wlliam

My grandparents often traveled across Canada and one time they were put in the rooms that QE and PP stayed in at Jasper Lodge because the hotel was overbooked.

Agree. But it does look very 1980’s though!

Following on from others upthread. I met Charles when I was little. It was at a paralympic stadium. He landed in a chopper then came to shake hands. V easy going nice fella. I also saw the queen once but she was in a car and I was waving a flag along the road haha. V young again tho.

Anyone else?
