First topic message reminder :

Though as these accusations came to light in 2018 I wonder why they are only being addressed (with lots of publicity) by the palace now....just days before the Oprah interview is aired both in the US and a day later in the UK? scratch

Harry and Meghans antics are now being likened to Edward and Mrs Simpsons treachery.
A slight over exaggeration methinks. lol!

So, the Germans are still fighting, willing to deport a Stuart who poses a threat? The emphasis is on poses a threat. Why on earth do you think the Germans make up this tripe? Shakespeare comes to mind: Me thinks they do protest too much!

Have you read the book?

Of course!  Why do you think the Royals have been treating Harry as the caboose on the family train?  The Royal family bias against Harry, merged with their bias against Meghan's black genes, to create a perfect storm.  WTF do you think I've been saying from the start???



a total pile of garbage that only you could make any sense of

Quill gets these things in his head and he won't be told different.
A few years ago he was posting over and over again that Melania Trump had worked as a prostitute.

For a 'lawyer' he says some really stupid things. geek

He's gas lighting. The man isn't stupid. He fabricates nonsense and claims you're a fool if you don't buy into his "proclamations".

No I haven’t, but forging his own birth certificate and claiming non existent titles for non existent Orders don’t exactly help his claims to legitimacy.

My own grand children and my (three week old) great grand daughter have a far better claim, being descendants of the Dukes of Normandy and Counts de Bayeux with a family tree through my late wife’s line tracing them back to a kinsman of William the Conqueror who came over to our shores for a bit of raping and pillaging and finished up taking the crown.

Me, I’m just a descendant of the Anglo Saxon peasantry....

Your “Stuart” (or Stewart if you prefer his own spelling) seems to me to be two sandwiches short of a picnic.....

Good. Sometimes things need a little shaking up, it creates change or opens new doors...new ways of seeing things.

Why would the Queen speak with her siblings and father? When she's never been introduced to them? Surely that's up to Harry to do?

By the fact that she has so many problems with people. I know people just like her. Constantly complaining about how they are treated by family and friends alike.

Hardly any of Thomas Markle's kids or grandkids speak to him anyway.  Ever!

Rightly or wrongly H &M felt that a frank, brave unfiltered interview was their best bet -
- against a VERY POWERFUL royal machinery.
You have made yourself part of an  incredibly mean spirited demonising campaign and  I hope your efforts fail miserably.

No one is saying H&M are blameless but the royals should modernise their attitudes and meet these sad royal brides halfway. IMO.

So your grandmother is a bit staid in her ways and doesn't let you do just what you feel like, so you totally disrespect her in public and try to pull her house and family down. Very modern.

I find it hard to make an opinion on a quarrel between two parties because I don’t really know the true facts.
We only really know what he said and she said, and even then, it’s second hand information.

Exactly - but because only one party tells it how they think it is and the other can't really reply in the same vein because it'll be like a scene from Eastenders, the damage it could cause to everything the Queen holds dear, by people who don't understand how the monarchy functions, however outdated it may be, could be awful, who wishes that on their grandmother. The UK now is seen as totally racist - are you happy with that.
