This article has familiar overtones.

Not that I'm defending anyone who makes silly childish comments on someone's appearance but are they really a danger to anyone?

Threats of course are a different matter and should be taken seriously.

I presume he's being paid to talk to the press? He probably wants the money.

Who is he, poster?

The article is written by a woman and all the "vile trolls" mentioned are too.

It's a boy!

Archie!  

Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.



Archie means "genuine", "bold" and "brave", and is German in origin. Short for Archibald, it is now given as a name in its own right.


Harrison means "son of Harry" so is likely to be a tribute to the duke.

By deciding to call their son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, Harry and Meghan have chosen not to use a title for their first born.


As the first born son of a duke, Archie could have become Earl of Dumbarton - one of Harry's subsidiary titles - or have been Lord Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, but instead he will simply be Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.


A source said: "They have chosen not to use a courtesy title."

It's certainly different by royal standards. Thank heavens they didn't go for Archibald!

Oh dear, that really wasn't a good idea!

No I did see the pic and not funny at all imo. Very bad taste.

The online Daily Mail today :



"Who're" for "who are", bang in the middle of the headline...?

Nasty.

Sack that typesetter!

Apostrophes in the wrong place are a bugbear with me but that's a new one on me.

I can`t believe there isn`t a thread on the Meghan/Harry debarcle.

Love to hear others` thoughts on the Markle woman.  Is she being supportive to a traumatised son of Diana or is she really the narcissist that is being portrayed by most.

I have two theories.

I've put this on a new topic, Mimi.

I avoid the mainstream media most of the time so it's difficult for me to have an opinion on this. I'll be interested to hear what others think of the story.

Thanks Freedom. I hope you are keeping well.

Has anyone taken an interest in the Duke and Duchess and their antics. The scandal is worse than Wallis Simpson who was an angel compared to Missy Markle. I've been watching them since they got married ; had a bad feeling about her.

I have been trying to keep an open mind and not be influenced by the media.

I don't think the situation is like the Wallis Simpson one myself - Harry is never likely to be king.

You're right, it doesn't have the same status connection as Edward, but in the fact of the reaction and damage to the Monarchy.
I've found it interesting how she often wears her hair like Wallis - is she trying to be her I wonder. Whatever, she will certainly go down in history.

My mother talked of the abdication crisis. It came as a complete shock to the ordinary members of the public as the British media hadn't mentioned it.

I asked her some 35 years after the event if she thought that Edward should have been allowed to marry Wallis and remain king (both were still alive then) as attitudes had changed over the years and things that seemed scandalous in the past were no longer so - and she was extremely adamant, no never!

She was somewhat set in her ways.

I'm no royalist but follow such things to take my mind off things like pandemics. I see megan as a breath of fresh air for the Royal Family. Half caste, divorced, slightly older than Harry and absolutely stunning to look at.

Don't believe the bullying accusations aout her. Probably cultural differences the most likely explanation. Americans have a 'can do' attitude whereas it probably takes hours to get a cup of tea in the palace as their protocols have to be followed!

Hi Antonia. I agree she was seen as a breath of fresh air to begin with. The British people loved her, welcomed her as did The Queen and afforded her many more in roads than Kate ever had.
But things soon went downhill. I think we may have differing opinions as to why.
