    And William now. One rule for them and one rule for the rest of us.

    Not sure he went to the hospital ??
    Just confirmed to the press he was ok and was in for
    "Observation and rest"
    Nothing against the guy he is nearly 100 after all
    But it's one rule for the privileged and another for us
    Which is drastically wrong

    Not quite, The Royal Brompton is not a NHS hospital and not covered by the same rules, It is a private hospital with the royal warrant used by the Royal family for that reason,

    The Royal Brompton is indeed an NHS hospital. Nevertheless one rule for one and one rule for another.

    Dunno why private hospitals are somehow covid free but NHS one's arent. Why can't we all have a Royal Warrant to protect us from Covid-fecking government kept that one from us eh? Bet Sunak is seething at this Royal revelation.

    Failing to see the issues with Meghan and Harry. Let them be and live. The royal family is nothing more than a cult with a cult following in this strange country we live in at times. A massive part of our history but totally redundant save through titles now.

    As for the interview on Sunday, Meghan and Harry well within their rights to do as they please with it. The British press will not leave them alone, ever, anyway

    I don’t see the irony no. The press have dug up every person and part of Meghans life over and over again. They are entitled to a reply. It doesn’t give the press free reign to keep bashing them both with every change they get. There’s a difference

    If you read it correctly...it is "reasonings" and if you have also read the whole thread you will realise that I am actually referring to money..as I have inferred before.

    Similar to Princess Diana a long time ago it is still happening. Anyone who does anything against the royal family is hounded. We didn’t learn then and won’t now either. Shame

    It's part and parcel of being a Royal, as I posted she knew what a marriage into the Royal family involved, I don't have a problem with them severing their links with Royalty but don't bitch about privacy and then go on prime time TV with the Queen of chat shows to give her version, I cant see the Royal's getting in a tit for tat situation.
    Or is it a matter of we/they chose the time and place to face the public, that ain't gonna happen because everyone wants a piece of them no matter where they live.

    Just think about what we are saying. She knew what she was getting into? And what is that exactly? Why is it only the royal family where it is accepted? And we make excuses for them?
    It’s complete bollocks. She married into it, maybe it’s worse than she thought and she couldn’t cope. She’s left and that’s her choice and I think good for her. It’s her voice use it as she wants. If she wants to do a media interview then so be it.
    Why the continued circus? She can literally do nothing without the daily mail posting an article about it. yo

    As I’ve said it’s a an old fashioned cult backed by the press, and this band of royalists in the general population. I’ll never get it.

    and on your last part, yes it is her choice when she speaks. Much like you and I and anyone else. She’s grown up being used to that and because she married Harry she loses that choice? Weird

    It's far from "only the Royal family" many celebrities have had the same sort of paparazzi coverage and gone to the courts to stop it, but that's whats expected with being a Royal it's accept that being in the public eye is part and parcel of Royal life.
    Do you believe she was not aware of what marrying into the world most photographed family in the world entailed ?
    You say " yes it is her choice when she speaks much like you and I and anyone else" that is part and parcel of being a Royal, that she didn't want so her and Harry moved to Canada/USA then they are more than happy to say their piece on prime time TV.
    Because she married Harry she loses that choice, I thought that was what the debate was all about, after making her case with regards privacy she then wants to tell the world her story, weird

    Just a small addition to your post mate to reflect realism.

    They have every right to go about their lives as they see fit that's not the debate they claim they have had little privacy in the UK so go to live their lives elsewhere then go on TV to tell their side of the story, I don't wish them any harm just be consistent with regards living your life in the public domain, be that Canada, America or the United Kingdom.

    One interview on their terms is different? Surely?

    Heard on the radio today that Harry and the Mrs have done the interview for free.
    Oprah however has sold it world wide for over 6 million.
