Good for them for wanting their privacy. Who the heck wants to be on display like a bug on a pinboard? The public doesn't have a right to know every darn little thing about these people.
But the royal family costs the taxpayer 69 pence each per year and they want their money’s worth!
If 90 cents is all they cost per taxpayer, then I would say the public gets their money's worth without knowing everything. In fact, for 90 cents I think we all know too much.But the royal family costs the taxpayer 69 pence each per year and they want their money’s worth!
Yeah, but she's in for a totally new experience becoming a mother at age 37. I realize she'll have all the help she wants, but still, she may find her priorities changing just a bit.
Yes, infants say, “I see your plan, and we’re going to do it my way.”
There is a twitter account called torontopaper1 that is so flipping creepy AF about Meghan, that I reported it to Twitter (likely won’t do any good) and would be reason alone for me to not stand on any steps with my baby.
And that is only one creepy, degranged psychopath. I’ll bet this is all for safety reasons.
Oops, I’m distracted and wanted to post to you to flag for mod removal, as your point is taken, but I accidentally flagged your post and wrote this message to the mod.I know that disgusting things are said in disgusting places, but it bothers me to have the level of discourse here on Pricescope lowered by the posting of comments as vile as the ones that were highlighted and linked. I believe in free speech, but somehow it seems that shining a spotlight on a racist's rants is the wrong thing to do here. The twitter comments made about the Duchess of Sussex were not worth repeating.

On a purely philosophical note, one could argue that shining a spotlight on a racist`s rants is important everywhere. The world is not served by us all politely pretending that these vile things do not exist and allowing them to continue unchallenged as a result. Perhaps it`s better to drag them into the light of day and for us all to take responsibility for confronting it whenever it is encountered. Otherwise it starts to be perceived as more and more normative (as evidenced by how the US media has handled Trump throughout the election and since - turning a polite blind eye and not calling out the racist rants until it was far too late). Sadly, I think this was only one of many examples of what gets directed at Meagan these days, and my impression was that the tweets were posted as a way of highlighting why she might not want to do what is expected of her by tradition (I wouldn`t either with this kind of thing out there).
But your point is taken that it`s probably best to link with warnings about the content so that those who prefer not to be exposed to it can avoid it.
