Here we go again, a new Diana

Wasn’t the old Queen Mother a Bowes?

Prince of Wales was in Durham today.
He went to the Bowes Museum, and the news presenter said he was a direct descendant of the man who built the museum, John Bowes.
Very clever of him, as John Bowes never had any children.

Unusual for you not to have mentioned your desire to be rid of them Dj

For someone who doesn't like the royal family, you seem inordinately interested in their comings and goings, Annie.

They have their own Staff in St.James Palace but the Palace Machine is top of the pecking order . I see a lot of commonwealth trips this year - looking into my crystal ball ?. The commonwealth are discussing who will be head after queenie dies.

Kensington Palace Public Relations machine I think.

Not a machine, a person in fact, doing her best.

What is the KP PR machine?

I wouldn't think the 'Palace Machine' is behind her every move; the young Royals have their own staff.

Ohhps there, not their

Well actually yes they might need to , because their are obviously still some very outdated, biased & bigoted people out there.

Why on earth would they need to sell her to the public, .? I hope & believe most of the great British public are able to recognise a decent human being ,who no matter her status (either now or in the future) is a bonus to any family, charity or country .

Same old, same old Jaycee

Anniebach You really think that you haven't been critical of her? You have been nothing but on every thread about her. At least own it. OldMeg is right. Where is some of that old Christian charity that you claim to believe in? Give her a break.

Mollie Well said.

Clear, not deer duh,

It’s very possible that as Harry slides down the pecking order the two f them will be deer to create their own niche. He’s already shown an interest in Africa so it’s possible they will focus their attentions there. And I also think the ‘family’ have learned their lesson from the past as Megan’s forthcoming marriage shows: a mixed race divorcee from another country and not a constitutional crisis in sight. At 30-something she is well aware of what she is letting herself in for and I’m sure she’ll hold her own. Harry is marrying a sensible woman, nothing like his mum, and you can see how much he cares about her. Good luck to her, to them both, and I’m sure the family will be very welcoming.

I don't think she leaked it to the press, she will be a junior royal, the KP PR machine are trying to sell her to the public hence the Diana comparison. She should be allowed to be herself and the public will take to her or not , in my opinion.

She has no choice but to go along with the palace machine , once married and more use to being a Windsor it will be s bit different.

Have to dig deep to catch up with you ?

Perhaps she is just playing to a public audience but she may also be quite genuine in her concern for people - why not give her the benefit of the doubt for the time being?
I don't think she is playing to a public audience Eloethan as she has demonstrated over the yers that she is a passionate advocate of women's rights and a campaigner for the under-privileged, spoken at the UN as an ambassador for women.

If anything, I think that marrying into the Royal Family may curtail what she would like to do; she may have to do more charity work and less campaigning.

Good advice.

It’s a hint to quit and stop digging yourself in deeper! ?

When all else fails , insult, sad

Such a lady

.

Jaycee , I have not critcised her, I have said I wish she would tie her hair back, the Windsors are not sacred for everyone and not the devil incarnate for everyone. I am not a slavish royalist and not a republican, I would rather we had the Windsors to a president . All the discussions on GN regarding the costs of the Windsors my one complaint has always been the cost of security for so many homes. What they wear I like or dislike , this is perfectly normal , I have one sister who has only wore black clothes for years, no other colour, I dislike black and never wear it. Quite simple isn't it
