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.

I think he’s qualified as much as you can be for a monarch, I mean he’s learnt at the knee of our longest serving one. I don’t think there’s any possibility of Charles giving up his position but who knows. I do think the monarchy is a lot less relevant today and that is a major problem for now and the future.

Charles always struck me as weak. Plus entitled, selfish, fussy, a “woe is me” attitude (where do you think Haz got that from?) and very indecisive. One of the royal reporters described him as Eyeore from Winnie the Pooh!

He is not popular in my country at all.

Yes I think this rightly or wrongly is the impression over the years. Unfortunately Charles maybe doesn’t have the time or perhaps the necessary attributes to change these opinions.

Prince Philip was of the same opinion.

Prince Philip thought son Charles 'wouldn't make a good King'

PRINCE PHILIP used to have a rather fraught relationship with his eldest son Prince Charles and made no secret of his view that the Prince of Wales lacked the necessary qualities to make a "good King".

Harry and Meghan are included in the official Coronation programme

The rare, relaxed private family portrait was taken by royal photographer Chris Jackson to mark the monarch's 70th birthday in 2018. It was shot in the gardens at Clarence House.

Spot on - he only seems more human now as Camilla goes out of her way to make him look better in public but even she needs constant breaks from him - I’d hate to be her

Charles would only ever stand up to his darling boy if Camilla forcedhim too - here’s hoping she puts her foot down after the crown is on her head

"Charles' unbelievable weakness at every turn - and 'wokeness' with all the rest - is a total disaster. The RF has lost all specialness and relevance."

And what planet is this person on? :rolleyes:

"Common sense. Princess Meghan is a royal and surely the most adored one in the UK."

She is not even a princess, let alone adored anywhere!
