I kindly request that all members participating in the MM and Harry thread dial back the vile rhetoric.

I am not opposed to discussing public personas on TPF, including the constant torrent of news surrounding the couple from this thread. But I find it troubling when their looks are being nitpicked apart to a degree that is just not appropriate.

This thread has drawn criticism over the years, and I discussed it at great length with Megs and the mods. I am not looking to close it down, but the vitriol needs to be dialed back.

My personal feelings about hate threads aside, this ultra-negative vibe is something better suited for other forums, Reddit, or elsewhere. I am holding our community to higher standards.

Thanks for reading.

Hmm that story came from the Morton book as dictated by Diana
Did Diana get it right ? We have always assumed so but if this thread has taught me something … it is the multiple versions/facets of stories

Apparently she did get it right. Another biographer has confirmed the story and that one is a friend of Camilla’s. I didn’t realize or else had forgotten that Camilla had given her own gift to Charles, a pair of cufflinks which he wore on his honeymoon with Diana. So yeah, they both made a little joke of it.

How lovely. I don't think I'd have been too happy to find out my husband was wearing cuff links from his ex on our honeymoon.

No woman would be happy about it. It’s such a weird (and totally insensitive) thing to do. Charles could easily have had the bracelet delivered somewhere where Diana wouldn’t be. It almost makes me wonder if on a subconscious level he wanted her to discover it. He really didn’t want to get married.

This sneaky move would make it worse.
He can’t “un-be” a prince, that is his birthright.
If he renounces the rest of the titles, he will remain Prince Henry, and she will then be Princess Henry, soooooo, she wins.

My understanding is that when Hazz renounces his titles, LoS, CoS, he does indeed give up his official ‘princely status’, the position of prince. Sure, he is still KC’s son, he is still part of the royal family, but he would not be part of the British Royal House. For example, King Edward abdicated, he no longer held the position or title of King [which was his birthright]. So, Hazz would simply be Hazz Mountbatten-Windsor.
Just my 2 cents, I could be wrong. :shrugs:

Prince Friso of Orange-Nassau​

When this Dutch royal married Mable Wisse Smit in 2004, he did so without the official blessing of the Dutch Parliament. He then abdicated his right to the throne (had his older brother predeceased him). Until his passing in 2013, Friso and his family were still considered members of the royal family, just not the Dutch Royal House.
