Well said. Utterly ridiculous. Grown men crying like a bunch of gossiping dinner ladies.

Purely coincidental timing.....
So Buckingham Palace is now going to look into these nasty stories being told about Princess Megsie
And now we have a poster on here saying he knew about it all years ago but is only saying it now

It wouldn't surprise me if this is all a plot to destroy Meg.
Infiltrate social media and damage the new peoples princess
I wouldn’t be surprised that somebody did know, I’m sure many do know exactly what went on and is still going on

There’s many things that I know professionally about various people and events that I wouldn’t air in public

There are some things I know about the Royals and their behaviour .. and other high profile people, but I’d never say

I’ve seen things discussed on here .. and absolute bks spouted by posters and known the exact timelines and circs of what they are discussing , but I’ve stayed silent even when the events have directly involved me !

Peoples princess - I very much doubt that
Might depend whether we are talking about the people of the UK or the people of the USA.

Can’t lie: I find the bile and bitterness utterly fascinating. THIS much opinion about a complete stranger who doesn’t affect you one iota. It’s extraordinary.

Me too. But then I've said a couple of times that I quite like them so this thread's for people like me anyway I guess.

It was common knowledge at the time, wasn't she nicknamed "Meghan the menace" by palace staff?

If only they had put this much effort into investigating Andy and his chums.

I have to say I find the H&M thread as equally intriguing as the Council thread

Did I see Corden is involved in the media circus now?

Bloody brilliant - their PR/media team must be absolutely pissing themselves rolleyeslaugh

Yes I remember that that BBC guy the one who used to be ginger and he sat on that womans face once when they were invaded. I distinctly remember him in a news broadcast saying she is a bit of a bully I was told by the palace staff
Around the same time i remember that Emily Matess doing a newsnight special one night
Oh no I don't remember any of that wonder why ? Maybe cos its just people saying it now

If it upsets you less, you could use proper page sizes. Only 63 for me.

Buck house leaking the bullying story & then their PR machine full steam ahead behind it.
It’s all so wonderfully transparent.

I’m starting to really admire M&H. Seems like they definitely did the right thing & good luck to them.

Not much skin in this game but my only observation is (and it assumes a good grand-paternal relationship) if my grandad was in hospital potentially about to croak, I would probably quietly suggest to the wife we put this off for a bit...which may give a reasonable idea of who wears the trousers here!

Exactly. I'm sure those staff weren't bullied, they probably just didn't realise how important The Duchess is, she needs to be treated with the utmost respect. If she did throw that hot cup of tea over a staff member I'm sure it was fully justified.

Also, how unlucky is she having a nasty family on both sides?! I've known people fall out with whole family units before but not on both sides of the family, what are the odds? Poor girl.

Perhaps he doesn't like his grandad? Didn't he have his mother dealt with? In all seriousness, how the heck do we know?

It’s 126 pages on my mobile.

But, I have to tell you, I think it will still be the same number of posts, regardless of whether you have ‘tough guy’ page mode engaged...

Sorry, you think that throwing hot tea over someone at work might be a justifiable response to something? Like what, for example?

I think you are mistaking irony or sarcasm (which is it? I never know the difference!) for a serious post. It's easily done.
