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

Calling her a new Diana wasn't criticism, then, particularly as you criticise Diana all the time, Annie?
That's okay, then.

Anniebach Tue 13-Feb-18 18:44:08

An exclamation mark equals a criticism? Another must make sure every I is dotted poster Bridgeit ?

Anniebach Tue 13-Feb-18 18:40:46

Thank you Jalima, I have posted links to some of the papers,
it is the papers who bring Diana into it, and in my opinion to have reached all papers in the same day it came from KP

Bridgeit Tue 13-Feb-18 18:39:16

I think it was the exclamation mark at the end of the OP
that turned it into a criticism.

One ­resident said: “It means so much.”
As long as she made at least one person happier - and look at those children clinging on to her

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
Sometimes threads take on a life of their own anniebach. I'm sure you started it in good faith. In fact, if anyone bothers to read it properly they will realise that you didn't say she was like Diana just that she has made secret visits just like Diana.

It would presumably have remained a secret but someone decided to spill the beans eg I only told my friend and she promised not to tell anyone else etc.

What kind of fish Florence - was it tasty?

Neither spite nor jealousy here. Can't speak for anyone else, obviously.

If indeed it is a case of :- Here we go again a new Diane. Let’s just hope the fickle general public of Great Britain have learnt a lesson. Perhaps they will have learnt not to idolise someone,put them on a pedestal & then knock them down.,
What is wrong with some of you GNs? I can only assume that that your harsh judgements are just pure spite & jealously , If the Royal Family disappeared tomorrow your own lives would be , well just the same as they are today, except you would have to find someone else to vent your spleens on . Love them or not they were born into their lives just as you were born into yours . Perhaps some of you who despise them so much could spend some time helping someone less fortunate than you are, because that’s something you can be certain of there always will be! Wither we like it or not!

FlorenceN Tue 13-Feb-18 17:48:22

Lol!!! Multi tasking gone wrong!!

MissAdventure Tue 13-Feb-18 17:39:37

grin bagged fish.

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

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

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 17:37:43

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

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 17:26:52

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

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.

Agree with OldMeg and mostlyharmless.

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.

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.

mostlyharmless Tue 13-Feb-18 17:15:33

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

suzied Tue 13-Feb-18 17:07:33

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

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

Exactly what is was supposed to unleash.

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

What on earth has this thread unleashed?
