bloody whinging royals

paddyann doesn’t make a living from selling one photo of the RF - her business does just fine. She’s also entitled to separate her business dealings with her personal views - most of us who work do.

That’s not what you said previously, but thank you for clarification ?

Can I confirm I haven't sold ANY photographs or displayed them on my premises or website of any member of the RF.
tHE PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN AS A FAVOUR FOR AN OLD CLIENT .wE GAVE HIM THE ORIGINALS AND THE COPYRIGHT TO THEM .

I do love to see pictures of the little ones. I wanted very much to see a picture of Archie. I did actually love the photo showing his little feet.

Doesn't change anything I've said though.

I presume Photos can be sold many times over.

I said it wasn't much to ask not much to expect.

I seem to remember you saying you love to see pictures of the little ones, Gonegirl

One shoot or several makes no difference.

I didn’t know it was an ongoing thing

Hypocrisy is hypocrisy, we are all guilty of it at times.
But why keep slag off something that enables you to earn a living.
Also I believe she is someone who has permission to take photographs so she could be puts herself in a position to loose a source of income.

I thought paddyann had one commission not regular photo shoots.

Megan doesn’t need advisors , she needs to understand she is learning how to be a Windsor, she is a minor royal , one day she will be expected to curtsy to her brother in law and her nephew. It’s part of the job.

They are entitled to be as petulant as they when it comes to their own child. As to the house, no one can buy rights to a baby.

The fact that the British public who support the monarchy were not allowed to see a decent photo (nothing to do with ownership) smacks of petulance.

Given H&M had just moved into their lavishly renovated house it wasn't much to ask was it?

All the cloak and dagger stuff surrounding Archie's birth - the announcement of a non announcement for example was childish and done deliberately to cause speculation in the press.

Far from wanting to be out of the limelight, they are determined to stay in it.

Start something at a fast pace with great enthusiasm - or, make sure you listen to advisers and trust their judgement because otherwise you’re going to get things very wrong, wind people up who’ve been in this business a lot longer than you have, and alienate yourself.

So what if * paddyann* is making money from royal photos? She’s running a business, it’s not personal. That doesn’t mean she’s not allowed to have her own thoughts about her photographic subjects.

1.Hit the Ground Running = Start something at a fast pace with great enthusiasm.
2. Paddyann has a dislike & distaste for them , but sees no hypocrisy in her self by selling the photos that she takes of them. Or is able to acknowledge that she has an income because of them.

Nobody can own their baby! Incredible to read that people think they have "rights" over him.

How do people actually get all this information about the royals? How can you be sure of accuracy?

There'll be fun and games when the Queen's no longer here.

I just think Harry and Megan are being badly advised and the problem is they just don’t see it.

She is finding her way,

Sorry, but Meghan had no intention of finding her way or 'learning the ropes' as Kate put it. She announced she was going to 'hit the ground running!' That must have been fun for the members of staff who were receiving instructions via e-mail at 5am.

Anyone who got in her way was dismissed and it's reported her falling out with Kate was because she upset some of the staff at Anmer Hall when she was their guest.

I thought their privacy was paramount , down to even not showing photos of the baby but with the worlds press on them in Africa that all went out the window?

Its funny how the British public ( who fund them to a certain extent) are not privy to the same exposure.

I like the Royals, I don't even dislike M and H - I'm just tired of the more righteous than you attitude that they're preaching.

Or she could be ultra paranoid about getting it right & feeling the pressure of the possibility of making a mistake

By sacking staff? Refusing to take advice? Travelling by private jet for 'jollies?' Refusing to introduce Archie to the people who pay for their lavish lifestyle, including massive dress bills?'

Funny way of getting it right.

If Ms really concerned about getting it right then she could be listening very carefully to all the royal advisers who have many centuries of experience to draw on. Instead I think she thought she could simply waltz in, bring a touch of celebrity glamour to the RF, use her elevated position to grandstand on issues she feels passionately about (as a woman and as a feminist blah blah), and use social media to control their image. Unfortunately the RF and tradition don’t work that way - something Harry should know by now.

Cut the woman some slack. She is in an almost unique position whatever she does or doesn't do there is always a headline out of it. She is finding her way, luckily most of us don't have someone pointing a camera at us when we screw up!

There are also degrees of Mr & Mrs ordinary,
How privileged are we compared to the lives of those starving children we see on our TVs everyday, no change for them. I live like a Queen in comparison,
Does any one have the answers to equality ?

Or she could be ultra paranoid about getting it right & feeling the pressure of the possibility of making a mistake.
Dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t.
The RF do exist by the same method that we all exist , they can’t do much about that.
