He has not been his usual smiley self in the news clips I've have seen over the last week or two, especially today on the balcony. Has anyone else thought the same?

So true Annie ?

The pain of longing for a child is unbearable, I have a close family member who would give up all their worldly goods for a child of their own.

I have learnt to never judge anyone on their "wealth"

Anniebach Wed 11-Jul-18 10:22:18

Gilly, you trouble me, so much anger and resentment for people of wealth.

My younger daughter , not in the financial position of the Windsors ?, but affluent, five bedrooms on suite , now has builders in to build an extension, boot room and a dressing room . Private health care, doesn’t have to work, holidays about four times a year . She cannot have a baby , has gone through IVF many times over twenty years . money is not the answer to everything.

Merlot, your comment reminded me of something said many years ago. Queenie when a child was standing a distance away from a group of people and someone remarked she looked lonely, her father, the king, said she will always be alone . I know this is true.

She cuts a lonely figure walking on her own. I worry about her stumbling. sad

Nanny123 Wed 11-Jul-18 09:53:13

I have actually thought exactly the same thing

Anniebach Wed 11-Jul-18 09:51:56

I think on entry queenie is last, on exit she is first .

Why do some want to control threads ?

Couldn't agree more Gypsyqueen13.

Goodness me, the heat is clearly getting to people this morning. The claws are definitely out today. I normally enjoy reading these posts but quite frankly have had my fill of nasty playground snipes from some of you today. I am not a frequent poster but wanted to post this today. At the risk of upsetting people - grow up! confused

merlotgran Wed 11-Jul-18 09:40:30

We wondered about that as well, GrannyGravy.

She did walk out in front of them though.

BlueBelle Wed 11-Jul-18 09:31:58

Oh folks please give it a rest this had turned into such a disasterous and negative thread

GrannyGravy13 Wed 11-Jul-18 09:26:45

The only thing I noticed was that the Queen walked into the Abbey behind Charles and Camilla, I thought protocol was that the Queen was always in front.

I do not see Megan as the unsure woman married into a family where she is totaly dominated. She chooses her own clothes , her own designers, I think she knew exactly what life she would have as a Windsor. Perhaps she has a problem with not being centre stage when with the family, she certainly has loads of confidence making public appearances when just two of them.

OldMeg Wed 11-Jul-18 09:05:41

I wonder how on Earth I got that impression! ???

oldbatty Wed 11-Jul-18 09:05:26

I'd love to see Megs propped up in a bar with a bottle of lager.

gillybob Wed 11-Jul-18 09:04:10

Glad to hear that I am entitled to my opinion. Thank you .

gillybob Wed 11-Jul-18 09:03:30

Oops OldMeg smile

gillybob Wed 11-Jul-18 09:03:08

How odd * OldMeg* Where did I say that ?

OldMeg Wed 11-Jul-18 09:00:48

No Gilly you are entitled to your negative opinions, all of them, just as I am entitled to my opinion about such posts.

How odd that you think your opinion is fine but mine isn’t!

OldMeg Wed 11-Jul-18 08:58:47

What’s up with you....bloody predictive text!

OldMeg Wed 11-Jul-18 08:58:15

What’s I with you Merlot? That’s a very, untypically childish post.

gillybob Wed 11-Jul-18 08:57:55

Having a negative opinion about the royals makes you nasty does it ? Oh I see .

So that must mean that having a warm glow about everything they say and do makes you a lovely person .

Davidhs Wed 11-Jul-18 08:56:27

Don't worry about Harry he won't have changed much, he knows the score and is on friendly territory, save your concerns for Meghan.
She is a junior member of a very exclusive clan where every move, every gesture, every expression is scrutinized, she will make protocol mistakes, so let's hope those around her make allowances. It is not like being an actress where you are on screen for a few minutes at a time then relax and be yourself she has to live the role.
Of course materially she will want for nothing but we all know that money does not equal happiness it is up to Harry to give her love and confidence to make her happy, he knows all about the failings of his father and is very aware of his mothers tragedy.
Her resemblance to Wallis Simpson is unfortunate, that was a love match too, at least politics won't get in the way this time.

In my experience, people who constantly make nasty remarks about people they don’t even know are pretty nasty themselves. Don’t you find that?

I wouldn't know, OldMeg. You've obviously met more than I have.

OldMeg Wed 11-Jul-18 08:52:00

Actually they are often the same people who make nasty remarks about people they do know - usually behind their backs.

OldMeg Wed 11-Jul-18 08:50:50

Are you asking me to explain that Merlot?

In my experience, people who constantly make nasty remarks about people they don’t even know are pretty nasty themselves. Don’t you find that?

But then perhaps they do so because their own life has been somewhat disappointing.
