D’oh!
I can’t believe no one caught that sooner!
I thought it seemed a little light for a 97 year old
but it didn't come out and bite me in the butt!
I'd pay $20K extra for tea and crumpets with Camilla.
I could see you two getting along! Camilla, by all reports, has a wicked sense of humor, too!
With their wallets. Don't the buy the rags that take the invasive pictures, don't read the gossip columns, and sites.
People WANT to see the gossip and back and forth! Not unlike here!
And I don't say that to be mean, but let's face it, people read and use social media as a diversion to their own stressful lives and that type of thing can be very entertaining. So it's tough to get people to not buy trashy magazines and tabloids.
And btw Diana, Meghan and Harry also are pretty good at USING them for their benefit when they want to. Diana would call them to be there at certain times or places to promote herself or her work, even after her divorce. Meghan and her people (yes, she does have people advising and promoting her) did it just this past week on a three occasions to show herself off at women's charities.
First of all, it's not automatic. Read some what has been said about her over the past year. I realize understanding what I said requires thoughtfulness. I'm curious what you find unlikable about her. You don't know her or her husband. Finding someone unlikable based on your outsider perceptions...well that's kind of smug.
What I don't understand about this theory is the requirement that people must "know" someone in order to like or dislike them. I don't find it realistic. As others have mentioned, opinions are formed based on lots of things. In Meghan's case, as I said before, people loved her. Just look at how many rejoiced at their engagement (those pictures sold LOTS of magazines), tuned into their wedding (again, same, as well as souveniers)), and anxiously awaited the birth of their child, etc. It was only after more and more information filtered out that a dislike started to set in. And I don't believe it was all just because of the "tabloids". We had enough evidence directly from Meghan and Harry themselves via pictures and interviews and such.
I was actually pretty neutral for a long time about her, even though the situation with her father felt very sad to me (knowing he might not be here much longer), but when she said nobody cared about her in October during the African tour interview, I had a very hard time swallowing that given the irony of the situation with him (which I already posted about a few days ago, i.e. via their conversations that are now part of public court records because of HER lawsuit). He'd come close losing his life (no, it wasn't just made up!) in part due to the stress he was under from her sudden and immense notoriety, yet she hadn't gone to see him or reach out to him, only criticized him. That put me over to the Dislike side, and seeing her in food kitchens does nothing to change that view for me given that she still hasn't seen her Dad nor introduced him to his own grandchild, etc. Her race has nothing to do with it whatsoever, and really, it feels insulting to hear that when there are so many other factors involved. (Not to mention that I personally don't care about the color of someone's skin or their religion or their preferences or any of that; I only care if someone is a good person. You and I as nurses know and live this as we take care of everyone to the best of our ability regardless.) So I don't get the "have to know" part. (I could say more about the hatred we see in our own press for people we don't personally know, but I'll leave it at that.)
Thanks much for the heads up from CNN.
