What is clearly false is all the holier than thou and preachy posts from people who really don't give a damn about the monarchy, the Queen, or Prince Philip for that matter. It's all about not wanting any criticism of the 'can do no wrong' Harry and Meghan.
Family values and loyalty? Respect for the elderly. Who cares about things like that anymore, eh?

Nah. Discussing the Monarchy as a concept, the job, their roles, how they engage with them, the ceremony, the duty, the responsibilities etc etc. is all one thing and really up for anyone to discuss, as well as to some extent what the members of the Royal Family choose to get up to in their public lives. Really that's all fair game. I think it sometimes spills over into undignified detail, but it is there to discuss.

What you seem to be failing to realise, though, is that a man's relationship with a family member of his who has just died - and the other personal family relationships surrounding that - are simply none of your damn business and anyone with any respect for them as a family (not as "The Royals") would understand that and respectfully not play guessing games with how they are or should be feeling in their own personal grief.

So like I said by all means carry on commenting - I will reiterate what I said before. It's put to bed any claims that criticism of Meghan and Harry have anything to do with respect for The Queen or the rest of the family. Continually bashing and disparaging members of The Queen's family - her grandson FFS, forget all the Prince nonsense - when her husband has just died is not "respect" of any kind, it's utterly foul.
