The British Royal Family

[Bravo]

Feel better Amonet

I think Prince Charles should pay for their security. The proceeds of the Duchy of Cornwall are to support the Prince of Wales and his family. Harry is his family. If he's no longer representing the monarch, he should no longer be using state funds-even for security. But he's still the son of the Prince of Wales so he should have fantastic security paid for by the Prince of Wales. What else is that money for? The idea that it can support an extravagant wardrobe but not security seems silly to me.

That makes perfect sense to me !

I think most people would agree with that IF he wasn't "stepping back" from his Royal position, leaving the country and openly stating that the purpose is to be "independent." He is 35. Pay for your own flippin' security under those circumstances. The more I talk about them, the more I can't stand them lol

The Duchess of Cambridge spoke about her experience of being 'isolated' as a first-time mother as she continued her 24-hour tour of Britain today. After hearing about the support parents receive from the centre, Kate said:

'It's nice to be back in Wales. I was chatting to some of the mums, I had just had George and William was still working with search and rescue, so we came up here when George was a tiny, tiny little baby, in the middle of Anglesey. It was so isolated, so cut off, I didn't have my family around me, he was doing night shifts, so if only I'd had a centre like this at a certain time ...'

Plenty of others royals to discuss, take your pick!

Charles would surely want to do all he could to keep his son and family safe. I want them to be safe too, not their fault they need round the clock security!

I don't think it's fair for Canada to foot the bill tho, but I would doubt that would happen anyway.

I've learned some new British terms today...
I hate to say I told you so on Meghan Markle, says CAROLE MALONE

Love this. She said what I feel ( and if you read any of the comments in UK newspapers, including but not limited to tabloids, this is the opinion very many people share).

Interestingly, as @CoverMeCagney said previously, this is not the case when you actually discuss it with people in the UK. In my experience at least.

There is a brilliant meme doing the rounds on SM tonight. In essence it says M and H have shown our youth that you should walk away from toxic situations and you should stand up for yourself. I'm not a big fan of memes generally, but I think the fact it is being widely shared demonstrates where are a lot of us here in the UK are "at". Sometimes a constant hammering in the tabloids becomes distasteful and boring and people switch off from it. Us Brits do love an underdog.

Your article ZsaZsa has many inaccuracies in it. Many of them were already explained in other articles. This one was just mean spirited and not all factual. IMO I'm not going to take the time to dissect all of them.

Harry used to be the underdog but has been dragged down by MM

Harry used to be the underdog but has been dragged down by MM

When was Harry the underdog in your opinion? I always thought he was one of the nation's faves

 

[Bampot]

What underdog were you referring to then if not harry, hongkong ?

He was one of the nation's favs but not anymore.

 

[Ruthbullock]

When was Harry the underdog in your opinion? I always thought he was one of the nation's faves

I interpreted this as Harry always went against the grain (he was still secretly the favourite) with his rebellion and normality.

Yup, and the polls back up the comments. Overwhelmingly.

Did anyone watch the channel 5 programme?????

I watched it, did you? I thought it was very good.

 

[HongKongPhooey]

What underdog were you referring to?

Harry and Meghan, at the current moment in terms of the tabloid onslaught. Sorry, didnt mean to sidetrack.

 

[HongKongPhooey]

Yup, and the polls back up the comments. Overwhelmingly.

Which polls?? No one asked me anything

I'd rather stick pins in my eyes

This kind of venting is sad and unkind to the Queen. It also brings on self induced drama for which they say they don’t want.

“Last week, DailyMail.com revealed that Meghan feels she can now do what she pleases without asking for permission after her decision to quit as a senior royal.

A close friend explained that Meghan felt that living within the royal family confines was 'soul crushing' and she didn't want Archie around such a 'toxic environment', deciding to leave in part for his benefit.

They said the 38-year-old feels she can 'finally breathe' since leaving and has free reign over her life again.

The friend said: 'She told her inner circle of friends that her soul was being crushed and that the decision to leave was a matter of life or death - meaning the death of her spirit.

'She also felt like she couldn't be the best mother to Archie if she wasn't being her true, authentic self. Something she felt she couldn't be in the royal family confines.

'She said she didn't want Archie picking up on her stress and anxiety. She felt like it was a toxic environment for him because there was too much tension and pent-up frustrations”
