Just call me Harry. (Everything Harry & Meghan)

[Lemonade20]

Not that I mind your posting that this is happening, but one would hope that no poster here would express the same inappropriate sentiments at such a sad time.

Totally agree, this is a sad day.

 

[Lemonade20]

Ummm.... really? H&M were the only ones to post and they chose to say this? Prince Philip wasn't an employee, he was family. So cold, I'm disgusted by the lack of compassion and empathy.

So if I tell a veteran "thank you for your service" I'm insulting them. Good to know.

I'm sure it will be Meghan's fault that Philip died very soon. It's probably already her fault according to Piers Morgan.

That's one thing to thank a veteran. This is family. Even if things weren't good, they could have done better than that. Just look at what Obama, Putin and even Trump put out there.

I have a bridge to sell you in BK if you think Trump wrote that statement ... Does this sound like something he'd write?

“Prince Philip defined British dignity and grace. He personified the quiet reserve, stern fortitude, and unbending integrity of the United Kingdom,” Trump said in a statement.

He went on to chronicle Philip’s time in the Royal Navy, fighting in World War II as a naval officer.

“Aboard battleships in the Mediterranean, he saw combat at sea. He then participated in the pivotal Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943,” Trump said. “Like so many of his generation, in Britain’s darkest hour, he put his life on the line for God, country, and the values of freedom and self-government that forever unite America and the United Kingdom.”

Trudeau praised Prince Philip as a "man of service." I guess he's a horrible person too.

It never ceases to amaze me how people can find something to fault about everything this couple does.

The first thing on the page is "In loving memory."

 

[once_upon]

A man of service to his Queen and country.

Service can also be an act of love for another.

They took down their foundation's website to dedicate a message to Prince Phillip. What is cold about that? (Not to mention that this is an official message. Yes, it's simple but simple is often beautiful (as I think this is) and tributes don't need to be elaborate to be meaningful).

I have the feeling that Diana will be the 1st or 2nd name.

It's Charlotte's third name, of course

I'll bite: it's completely impersonal, which is kind of weird.

But there's nothing personal on the BRF social media accounts, either, and I don't think any if them owe the public a specific kind of message at this time. They lost a family member, it's different from world leaders publishing their condolences.

 

[becca]

I don’t think Harry or Meghan owes the world a public display of grief for his Grandfather. He was already forced to do that for his Mom. I have criticized them but I am not going to criticize that.

 

[canbelto]

KP's and Clarence House's posts were also impersonal. Royals are expected to maintain a stiff upper lip about grief.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Where is your compassion and empathy when you pass judgement how someone chooses to grieve their own family member?

It all went towards Kurt Browning.

Yeah and the kind words should be directed towards them not them having to give flowering posts explaining their personal feelings toward their Husband, Father and Grandfather.

It was like the whole Diana thing the crown is being impersonal and uncaring.

The Crown was dealing with two children who lost their mom.

I thought it was sweet and appropriate. It was a post on a website not them making a statement on video.

 

[ryanj07]

Just saw that Harry will fly back to the UK for Prince Philip’s funeral. Meghan will not attend as she did not receive clearance from her physician to fly so late in her pregnancy.

To me it seemed impersonal because the same message could have been posted about many people - for example, when Captain Tom passed away earlier this year. There's nothing in it that's distinctive or unique to Prince Philip.

But as I wrote in my previous post, this is a personal loss for the members of the BRF, and I don't expect them to share their grief in any specific way. I agree with becca that there was more than enough pressure on them to do that when Diana died, and certainly Harry and William should not have been put in that position.

If you haven’t learned by now that the Royal family is not very different from the average family then you haven’t educated yourself.

Harry was close to Prince Phillip. Enough said.

I am not surprised with Meghan and the pregnancy. Glad that Harry can make it back.

 

[AxelAnnie]

Well I will question that.No they Double post: btw my prediction to DH is correct. Fox & Friends is reporting that Prince Phillip's death is due to Harry & Meghan doing that interview.

No they are not. FOX was pointing out that Prince Philip is said to have been furious at the inappropriate and untrue things said in the Opah interview. Prince Philip has spent a lifetime ,standing a step behind his wife and supporting her and his country.

Oh thank challenge Harry"s claim re being close to his grandfather. People who care about., love and respect someone do not go on tv and crap on everything that professed close person has stood. .
Airing his rich and entitled laundry in front of the world whilst someone you care for and respect is 99 years old and gravely ill in hospital....give me a break.

Harry can progress his love til he is blue in the face. But actions speak louder than words.

i didn’t like Harry giving that interview with his Grandfather so sick but I hear they kept Phillip away from all that. Families forgive and he was clear he loved his grandparents I do believe they were good to him.

Glad Meghan is not attending she needs to stay safe with her pregnancy being so late term.

 

[mattiecat13]

There is no way Meghan was going to attend that funeral, pregnant or not. If she wasn’t pregnant, it would be because she had to stay home with Archie or something else. I doubt she would want to be there and I doubt the royal family would want her there. I’m really glad Harry is going - it will give him a chance to see his family.

 

[taf2002]

I'm not saying this in the Prince Phillip's thread but it's hard for me to get gutted about a really old person's death if I don't know the person or have some feeling for them while they were alive. I certainly don't wish bad on anyone but when someone is 97 & in bad health their death is somewhat expected. But I would never criticize someone's expression of grief or tell them how to word it. That really takes a lot of hubris.

I'm not surprised that Meghan isn't cleared to fly but I hope Harry takes Archie with him so the family can get some time with him.

Philip lived to be 99 and his death was more or less expected. That doesn’t make it easier for the Queen and his family but a huge public outpouring of grief like there was for Diana is a bit over the top IMO. Agree about Archie attending but I’ll be shocked if he does. It would be nice if he could spend some time with his cousins.

 

[MacMadame]

He's so young, he won't remember though.

 

[taf2002]

Yes but George & Charlotte probably will. And the older ones would probably love it if he came.

 

[skatingfan5]

I think that a 10-1/2 hour flight with 23-month old Archie might also be a bit memorable for Harry.
