Privacy is an important issue imo, fair play she should seek to maintain it.

Let’s hope no one randomly takes photos of your kids without consent when you are out and about then. According to you there is no reason to be upset about that.




Never mind someone doing it on your own property.

He supported William and Kate and expected the same in return. Shameful.

William has always seemed like a snotty prat, just like his dad.

'We rolled out the red carpet for Meghan': Frustrated Kate Middleton and Prince William hit back at claims in devastating biography that Duchess and Harry felt shunned by the Royal Family and insist they welcomed her with open arms

Quote:
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge last night hit back at claims in a bombshell new biography that they actively spurned Meghan Markle.

The authors of Finding Freedom claim relations between the Sussexes and Cambridges became so bitter that Kate humiliatingly snubbed her sister-in-law at Meghan's farewell appearance as a senior Royal.

But close friends of William and Kate issued a fierce defence, insisting the couple had 'rolled out the red carpet' for Meghan and 'done all they possibly could' to welcome the US actress into the Royal Family.

According to the friends, the Cambridges 'welcomed Meghan with open arms' by inviting her to Anmer Hall, their family home in Norfolk, where Kate personally cooked vegan meals for her brother-in-law's then fiance.

William and Kate also invited Meghan's friends, bridesmaids and page boys to a party before her wedding to Harry in May 2018, and keen tennis fan Kate asked Meghan to join her in the Royal Box at Wimbledon for two successive years.

'It's just completely wrong to suggest they didn't talk and plain wrong to say the Cambridges weren't welcoming,' a friend told The Mail on Sunday............

A tabloid article... citing unnamed "sources". The same ones you cast aside when it doesn't fit your narrative?

Nope. The article isn't doing what you think it is doing.

What are you on about?
I posted a DM item that wasn't written by a respected royal correspondent like those I usually post.
I said it was especially for you.
Your responses are making no sense.

Anyway....Back to Harry and Meghan...

https://www.euroweeklynews.com/2020/...n-markle-book/

Quote:
Amazon has slashed the price of the new Prince Harry and Meghan Markle book from Ł20 to Ł13.60 before it has even been released.

The much-hyped Finding Freedom, due out next month, will give an insight into the events which led up to Megxit and the Sussexes relocation to the United States.
But even before the release of the first, “epic and true story of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s life together”, the price of the biography has been cut by more than 25 per cent........
The pre - orders have been disappointing....

I imagine they are. Nobody wants a book version of what was all over the news already months ago.

...I was watching the Princess Diana V the Media programme last night...and a Royal corespondent themselves said that, that title means they’ll always go with the most commercially profitable slant/story and other than that it doesn’t give any special insight over any other media...which makes complete sense obviously...

It's probably a "column a, column b" thing.

The royals were probably welcoming, and just expected Meghan to slot into the princess shaped slot and behave herself. But that's not who Meghan is, she's Hollywood and not aristocracy. So when she was showing glimmers of individuality, she got the frosty reception.

I don’t follow the Royals very much but early on they were interviewed together and dubbed the fab 4, they set up a charity together, Megs attended Wimbledon with Kate, there wasn’t any tense body language between the couples at all, fast forward to that final service they attended and it was clear there was tension, so I would say if there were tensions in the early days they were well hidden

You see Cherie for me..
I think the Royal life must be really weird.

To any outsider going into it, to have their natural personalities made more robotic.
I doubt anything before really becoming entrenched into the set up, in the ' firm ' as it was termed, that you could ever be prepared for the reality.

I think it's hard enough for those born into it.
I mean, Princess Margaret was quite rebellious as the Queen's Sister.
Princess Anne made many gaffes too although I really think she found the balance of being her own person while dutifully performing as a Royal too.

Diana and Sarah Ferguson threatened the ' Royal protocol set up ',they found themselves just about hounded out.

It must be really difficult pretending to like or get along with people you cannot.

So for me, while I think the Royal set up needs dragging into the 21st century, while I remain a Royalist certainly.

I can understand pressures, particularly on any outsider joining becoming just too intense.

It's why I choose not to.judge them too harshly.

As to these 2, well married couples make their beds and have to lie in them.
So again all I do is wish them well.
I totally support them both, protecting and looking out for their child against media or any unnecessary intrusion to their, as private as it can get, life.

Equally to the Cambridge's too.
They represent the dutiful side of the Royals..
However it doesn't have to be that Brothers and their wives have to get along.

Across the Country, there will be families with daughters in law not getting on with each other, uneasy truces between Brothers and the rest of the family.
Even Mother's and Father's not getting on with their in laws family.

The fact things gets so stifled in Royalty only likely adds to the pressure in my view

Of course they can choose to step back but I'd hate to live the Royal life.

I can't stand the royal family. Meghan and Harry can do what they want as far as i'm concerned, providing i'm not paying for it. Those of them who are claiming a salary, I expect them to carry out the duties they are paid for, nothing more, nothing less
