Re: Harry & Meghan's contempt for the British Public.

IMO they are allowed to do whatever they like, it's up to them if they wish to publish photographs of the baby or not and who to, but if they don't wish to be part of the Royal 'scene' then they shouldn't expect the public to fund them. I agree that the press are utter scum but I have no doubt that they will use it to their advantage when they want to.

Re: Harry & Meghan's contempt for the British Public.

That alludes to searches for Meghan Markle on Pornhub. No actual content of MM exists (because there is none) but fakes abound everywhere. You may as well check out Google and see how many searches for her there have been.

Appearing skimpily dressed in Suits doesn't qualify as porn either, if it did, a great deal of modern-day actresses could be accused of the same thing.

I think you're wrong there Mups. They may well not wish to be classed as "Royals"when it comes to wanting us to respect their privacy.
Fine, be private citizens by all means when it comes to dealing with the public and the media, but then don't expect the public purse to pay for all the luxuries they conveniently still automatically expect to receive! That smacks of sheer hypocrisy.

I would also say that was rather unfair of you to say that some people only want to look so they can find fault anyway. You don't know that any more than I do.

One can definitely say however, the majority of the British public love the Royal Family, (barring of course the odd one or two around our age that, let's say, have been found wanting when it came to royal duties) Why shouldn't they want to share in their joy of their first born as all other Royals have done, by showing us their newborn, it has always been a part of Royal tradition.

To have the American public see one of our favourite Royal's first-born when this was denied to the British public themselves, is certainly not right.

Agree with you wholeheartedly there Judd.

HWMO and I used to follow Suits avidly. It was one of our favourite programmes, first on television, then on Netflix, where it is still showing about 6 series. It was absolutely brilliant and Meghan playing Rachel was a terrific character part. There was absolutely NO porn or anything near it, and to classify it as such is dreadful.
I was disappointed when she finished playing the character of Rachel due to her forthcoming marriage to Harry. She was really good.

There can be no doubt that she is a magnificent actress as what has taken place since she got her claws into Silly Billy Harry has proved.

Well said ...otherwise they just appear to be wanting it both ways.
If Harry chooses to dodge the spotlight and be in the wings to pursue a more private family life, great .... but he should fund it all himself. Get of his arse and get a proper job.

Re: Harry & Meghan's contempt for the British Public.

Hi

They are so far removed from my life that I have no interest in what they get up to.

I very much doubt that I will bump into either of them at the reduced section at Lidl.

Who gives a shit if the new baby's pics appear in US newspapers first? With the constant hounding of Harry's mother by the media and now the disparaging remarks aimed at his new bride who can blame them for not wanting anything to do with the British press?

Well said!

Some of the news articles about this couple’s private life and comments I have seen online about the public having a right to see this new baby make me wonder why these people think they have a right to make these demands.

These are just a few comments I saw regarding the news that the couple plan to have a private christening without press attendance:

“The British Public are quite tolerant but this is just very very thoughtless and rude.”

“Maybe time to move on Harry and leave Royal duties.

“You aren’t actually needed - we have many Royals who are happy to do their duty.”

Well, that doesn’t strike me as very tolerant at all.
Why shouldn’t they raise Archie as a private citizen, away from the glare of publicity if they want to.
Archie doesn’t have a Royal title, so he is a private citizen and we are not entitled to “a piece of him”
As for Harry “doing his duty” - providing he continues to do the Charity work and attend functions to represent the RF, then he is fulfilling his Royal duty as far as I’m concerned.

It’s not the duty of the younger siblings to produce sprogs for the public to coo over - that was William’s duty and he’s done it!

Looking at some of the negative media coverage of them, I’m not surprised Harry is being protective and cautious of the press. Just recently, someone even posted a random baby photo on a fake social media account, set up as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and pretended the photo was of Archie.

No wonder Harry wants more privacy for his son than he and his family had when he was a kid.

Well, I certainly agree with your last paragraph!

If Harry and Meghan are using the excuse of Archie not having a royal title, one will of course, expect to see them shopping for babygro's etc in the high street then?

That is what I mean by Hypocrisy. Whilst it is taxpayer money paying for everything that they possess, then yes, the public DO have a right to expect HRH The Prince, second son of the Crown Prince, follow the protocol and tradition of other Royals. Never mind this codswallap about Archie not being part of the Royals. When Harry gets a job and supports his family, then, and only then, will they have every right to tell us to all go and get stu..ed when it comes to their privacy. Until then, I'm sorry to say, he is a hypocrite.

(Apologies Boot, deleted half of yr message quote in error).

While the whole lot are sponging off the hardworking taxpayers of this country they are far from being removed from our lives.
