A derogatory name-calling post, a trolling meme, and several trolling posts have been removed.

 

Oprah is allowing what you think she would be against. You would think Oprah wants to fight for the common man and women, such as the maids, but no, she'd rather fight for Merkel, as if she is some sort of victim in this scandal. What a weird world we live in.

Well as an American I rather like them both.

 

Why should some quirk of birth make them any different to other celebrities?

 

Take the Kardasians, they have made a business out of being nothing more than simply famous, and talking non stop to the media.

 

I say good luck to them, monarchy and the whole idea that royalty are somehow higher beings is just ridiculous anyway

 

As an American, I rather despise Merkel and Oprah, and the Kardashians and anyone similar. It makes us Americans look like trash. The royal family has the ability to at least make a country look good and let the PM take all the backlash; thus, allowing a country to shine, while our presidents - Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, are just like the Kardashians and make Americans look despicable. And then if we analyze Oprah, we see a lady who always seemed as though she is fighting for the common man or woman, yet she doesn't talk to these maids that Merkel made cry and did who knows what else to them or other common folk. She allows the Hollywood actress to spin her side of the story only. Both ladies make Americans look bad, and make me as an American wish I was not related to their nationality.

 Not about dim or not dim he was lucky to be born into that family. Many of us could have done what he did or better (or worse) given the same opportunities.

I doubt that very much. I have seen the talent needed to do what he did in Afghanistan or afterwards with Invicta and it's not a common set of skills or strength of character that is exhibited by many. 'Many are be called, but few are chosen', seems to fit it quite well 

One of the many reasons I live in Thailand is because of the racism in England. When I married my Thai wife nearly 50 years ago I came in for a bit of criticism from some of the distant aristocratic members of my family. Previously I was engaged to the daughter of a very well-known aristocrat and there was a bit of a scandal when I broke it off. My  previous wife, whom I wasn't married to very long is now married into a Royal European family. She had the cheek to write and ask me not to tell anybody that I was married to her. I'm glad I left  that all behind, living happily in Thailand for the last 35 years. 

 

Use of Victimization (flopping) for selfish gains.

Meaghan:  "I'd like to log a complaint, please.  Yes, I'm a failed actress with a short term marriage that I ended when I knew I climbed as far as he could get me.  
Since then, I'm managed to vex a Prince, spend wildly his money, have the Queen spend 32 million pounds on my wedding. 

Operator:  What is your complaint? or are you just gloating.

Meaghan:  "Listen Bch, I'll gut you like I did the maids and the office staff.  Now where was I?  Yes, I've been horribly wronged.

After trying to stage a failed coupe against the Queen,  I tried to lounge and do nothing, but they INSISTED I had to perform duties to receive The $$millions I'm entitled to as Princess!

So... I've since Separated a devout family man from his family where family is everything to them.  That will show them.  They are NOTHING without me.  We'll be our own little King and Queen.


And they took my allowance away!  

I've now had to go and flip the script and say they were treating me terrible, and I just want peace and quiet and to be left alone.  WE wanted to leave the Royal family.  We were not kicked out.  You hear me?  We left.

wait...they taking my royal title too???  Then that selfish Queen bch revoked MY title!!.   I earned that!  I can show her the balls I have mounted on my wall. 

Whateverrrrr.  We just want a nice quiet and private life.  You can tell as we only throw up 100 Instagram photos a day.  And we only beg and solicit to get at least one new interview per day.

I just want to say that you don't understand how hard my life is, thhe milllions of unearned $$$$ I've been spending, the titles.  Don't they understand, the Queen is OLD. I should be the QUEEN.  Everyone should bow beneath me.

P.S.  did you get the hit out on Harry yet?  I'm done with him.  He's taken me as far as he can.

Being ex RAF you wouldn’t get it; in the army, to get from Captain to Major you have to pass the Staff College exams - that is what weeds out the dross.

what didn't you expect, megham? that queen elisabeth would accept a non white  royal heir in her family? open your ears, prince albert of monaco has a child with an african lady. their kid is 18 yo now, but of course  has no right to be called prince.nonetheless, everyone can tell, all human beings are born  free and equal. it's official since 1948....:-)

I'm not British and I can see where there are plu and minuses to the royal family, but I'd take the royal's side over a Hollywood drama queen and her hypocrisy anyday.

Same ... not British and not a fan of the Royals.  That said, it’s just wrong to go public and air family matters in public.  Unfortunately, the motive for doing so appears to be very much financially driven ... though admit I could be wrong on this point.

You don't have to be particularly clever to be born into wealth, he inherited £10 million from 

his mother.

 

Prince Andrew flew "combat missions" in the Falklands and he has his own faults. So that in itself 

cannot be a universal reason to deify him.

 

And, no, I don't have any military service whatsoever.

 

And I will acknowledge that his support for disabled veterans and the Invicta games were 

a great example of someone using their connections in a positive way.

Whether what she is saying is true or not, I'm inclined to think that she is exaggerating a hell of a lot.  Anyway I think that they both should have kept it all to themselves.

I was in the Military for 24 years and had occasion to deal with them when I had to organise a display for Her Maj.  Even with the intervention of the RAF ADC, a good man, they were a nightmare to deal with.  No common sense at all and no understanding of what was being planned, or what had to be done to achieve the aim, just a supercilious attitude to the difficulties of the minions tasked with achieving it. Totally clueless. 

And I would challenge your view. I too had a chance to 'interact' with certain people over a period of time. and it wasn't just organising a display. Yes they were difficult people to deal with, of that I am sure, but like many monarchies, they live by a special code that is no less than horrendous by the ordinary persons standard. It may appear as a lack of common sense but it is more a case of having to ignore what other people see as common sense, through years of restrictions and mental control. Even MI5 and the like, have more control over their lives than the British Royal family, as some of the 'rules' go back hundreds of years. The law that covered royal marriage, more than 200 hundred years old, has been the root of other scandals in the past and was finally replaced not long before Prince Harry married but even so I feel sure it has an 'echo' somewhere. Imo, it may be that Prince Harry and the Duchess were/are planning to test the ramifications of royal law changes and perhaps other royals were aware of that, which, I have no doubt, would have caused more than a ripple through the family.

So many bitter people commenting on this thread. So many gullible people that have swallowed all the tabloid lies. I shouldn't be surprised though this is TV,  home of the bitter old expat.

Followed in this case by why do they treat me so badly?

It's enough to make you stamp your feet and throw your rice pudding at mummy from your high chair.

By far the best bit of the whole performance was when Piers Morgan threw a paddy and matched out of that TV studio!

It's not quite that straightforward. You take an exam as a captain (it used to be called PQS2 but it probably has a much more complicated name now) in your mid to late 20s and there were two grades of pass. A pass for promotion meant that you could become a major in due course, but were very unlikely to be promoted further. Although not unknown to fail, most  achieve a promotion pass. A pass for Staff College meant that, provided you received the appropriate recommendations over a series of annual reports (3 I think) you were eligible to be selected for Staff College, which opened the door to further promotion.

 

As Prince Harry left as as a mid seniority captain I doubt that he took the exam.

Harry used to be such a respected and likeable fellow. I'm struggling to feel one iota of sympathy for he and his wife now. 

 Well the tabs have that effect on the common unwashed Englishman don't they? Whether it's the greatest custom union on earth or a royal combat veteran. 

The Royal Family's response was very dignified.

I don't believe Markle for a moment, playing the race card like that was so predictable. Always the victim isn't she. It's no coincidence that her own family dislikes her so much.

Like the RF said, these matters should be handled in private. Meghan washing the family's laundry in public in exchange for publicity is totally classless, but it's no surprise really from some B Movie, fame hungry, narcissistic actress. 

I loved the part in the RF statement about how "some recollections may vary". A very classy way of saying this woman wouldn't know the truth if it slapped her in the face. Well done.

In Meghan and Harry's Oprah interview, they claimed that a member of the family raised concerns about what colour their unborn child might be.
It's 2021. People shouldn't care if a baby is ginger or not.

     It took several days but we finally got a very short response to the H&M interview from the Royal Family.  The main points: 

Point 1.  The allegations in the interview are serious and they will be investigated privately.  Translation:  Nobody at The Firm thinks any of this is serious and there will be no investigation.  Meanwhile, the recently announced very public investigation of Meghan's so-called bullying of staff will continue.  Love the timing on that.  Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

Point 2.  People remember things differently.  Translation:  H&M are lying about everything.

Point 3.  Harry, Meghan, and Archie remain much loved members of the family.  Translation:  Much loved but not loved enough to provide them with security, even though they have received threats.  Much loved but not loved enough to take their calls.  Much loved, but not loved enough to prevent them from being cut off financially.  Much loved, but not loved enough to want to see them.   Much loved, indeed.

 

I think Piers Morgan summed it up well.
