Megan Markle has been making secret visits to comfort the survivors of Grenfel Towers , just like Diana use to make secret visits !

I'm not a monarchist in any shape or form but to be personally hypercritical of anything this young woman does, whose only crime is to be engaged to a minor(ish) royal, and it appears to be a genuine love match -unlike many other betrothals in that family, appears to be unpleasant vitriol. Give her a break. She doesn't need "publicity stunts", the press are going to report her every move whatever she does.

Ok. I simply said it wouldn't have cheered me up. Meghan, Harry, Prince Charles.....wouldn't care a jot. I'm not singling her out, it happened to be her who made the 'secret' visit we're all talking about. No idea what that type of woman is confused oh! And I'm not attacking anyone, I disagree with you, that all.
Of course, maybe you're that type of woman who thinks they're always right. <shrug>

“Those who have little interest in spirituality shouldn’t think that human inner values don’t apply to you. The inner peace of an alert and calm mind are the source of real happiness and good health. Our human intelligence tells us which of our emotions are positive and helpful and which are damaging and to be restrained or avoided.” – Dalai Lama

Are we allowed to disagree on GN or have I wandered into Royston Vasey?
Of course we're allowed to disagree on GN Florence - I disagreed with you, didn't I and put another point of view?!

They seem to be going down well in Edinburgh.

Go for.....?

I've found my people!!!

In the photos of her in Edinburgh, she looks destroyed. Dreadful clumpy hair in no discernable style which she keeps having to push off her face...and those trousers. Sweeping the street as she walks and wet all around the hems. She's a nobody with an iffy family background. Kate is on another level altogether.

GabriellaG Tue 13-Feb-18 16:58:28

There's a difference between HYPERcritical and HYPOcritical. In this case, the second word is correct.

OldMeg Tue 13-Feb-18 17:06:15

What on earth has this thread unleashed?

durhamjen Tue 13-Feb-18 17:07:19

Exactly what is was supposed to unleash.

Who said class snobbery had ended? Surprised some posters aren't cold way up there on their high horses.

She’s a nobody with an iffy family background
Gosh!

mostlyharmless Tue 13-Feb-18 17:17:53

I think Meghan’s injecting a bit of much needed glamour, style and modernity into the Royal Family.

Because if I posted what I want to post it would be deleted. Suffice to say I’m shocked to the core and disgusted in equal measures.

suzied Tue 13-Feb-18 17:20:50

Agree with OldMeg and mostlyharmless.

Anniebach Tue 13-Feb-18 17:22:02

I started this thread with a question asked on the paper reviews last night, I have been accused of deliberately starting it to vent spleen, I will not take the blame for what others post,

mostlyharmless Tue 13-Feb-18 17:22:05

Visiting Grenfell victims “off the record” shows she cares. Yes that could be seen as a fleeting gesture, but probably made someone feel listened to and valued.

FlorenceN Tue 13-Feb-18 17:26:52

We had the rest tonight! A treat! I bagged your fish, separately, and it's in the freezer.

Anniebach Tue 13-Feb-18 17:29:53

Some here have more trust in the KP PR machine than I

FlorenceN Tue 13-Feb-18 17:37:43

Sorry!!! That was a mistake!!!!!

FlorenceN Tue 13-Feb-18 17:38:30

A lesson not to text your friend at the same time as being on GN!!!

FlorenceN Tue 13-Feb-18 17:39:16

This 'off the record secret visit' we're all discussing......
