That Maternity Leave Didn't Last Long, But Then When There Comes A Chance To Show Oneself Off, There Is No Business Like Show Business They Say.

Lol, now she’s getting abused for not going to Normandy.

[Jordyboy9]

I am sure, provide both the DM and AOG with plenty of opportunities to snipe from the sidelines. >>>>>whatever floats their boat,
is the a photo of the baby ?

[Ken4155]

Trump's visit was a 'Royal Duty', not a 'family occasion' AOG, as well you know. If it had been a family occasion, big Phil would have been in attendance, would he not?

[naomi24]

Good grief! She's on maternity leave, not in prison. She can go out you know.

/// Ahhh.....another excuse for the Daily Mail and AOG to give the DoS a good kicking. ///

Ahhh, Have your usual dig at yours truly if you must, I mean what would you do with your time if you didn't, but please get out a new chestnut for your digs at the Daily Mail, because in this case where are they giving the Duchess of Sussex a good kicking?

Note unlike you, I have shown the decency and politeness to give her proper title, DoS seems so offensive.

I'm sure tgat whatever she does, it's approved by the Queen.
And I'm also sure the opinion of the Queen carries a bit more weight than some of the sniping and petty criticism on here does.

[anneasquith]

Pasta, do you really think Meghan had to ask the queens permission to attend TOC ?

[Ken4155]

Had she not attended, i can well imagine your headline, AOG. "Meghan snubs Queen's birthday!".

[jackthehat]

Priceless.....
I know that (being led by the nose) you find it difficult to see through the DM's Modus Operandi; but those of us with slightly more critical acuity know exactly how they like to praise and compliment in the one article whilst criticising and denigrating in the next.

It's strange how personally you seem to take any criticism of the Daily Mail....

Big Phil as you rudely called Prince Philip is 97 and has removed himself from public duties, he isn't attending the Trooping of the Colour, even though it celebrates the Queen's official birthday.

You really believe that do you?

[Ken4155]

Yeah, well, Big Phil (as he prefers me to call him) is a tad more savvy than Meghan. He got out of meeting The Donald (as POTUS prefers to be known) by playing the 'retired' card and knows that it would look slightly iffy if he appeared at the TOC. So he stays away. Like i said, savvy. No doubt he'll take Meghan under his wing and show her the ropes.

Every step,each glance or facial expression and more, much more - picked over and analysed.

I hope she has great resolve to endure all this from a swathe of the Great British public.

Harry must be saddened and frustrated not to be able to tell folk to mind their own business.

/// Very nice. Could have made a little more effort to honour the war dead 3 days ago, perhaps? ///

I agree taking into account the number of her own country's men who fell on that day.

[Jordyboy9]

AOG,I don’t think it’s rude to call the duke of Edinburgh big Phil,almost a term of endearment,much better than Phil the Greek,as he has been called in the past.-=)

[jackthehat]

Did you wave to the cameras when you attended the services in UK and France, AOG?

[Rockrose]

What an unkind post

[sherrardk]

Poor woman can’t do right for doing wrong. I wouldn’t fancy being in the spot light a month after having had a baby.

I know that the likes of you will find it difficult to understand, but it is called 'Balanced Reporting' unlike some of the publications you obviously choose to acquire your information from, who stick rigidly to their own single agenda.

Don't you agree, that to show a balanced opinion one must praise where praise is due, but also be prepared to criticise and condemn when that is due?

No? I thought not.

And don't you think that she really laps up that kind of thing, she's an ex-actress who forever seeks attention, but having said that, only on her own terms it would seem.
