Lermon Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 This really does hit you. Someone nailed it with a tweet that it's basically someone who has been a constant in everyone's life for a really long time. It's like a move towards chaos when someone like that goes.

The_jagster Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 So I know TV schedules are changed and light stuff/entertainment is cancelled due to the mourning period, does "everyday life" carry on as normal?

According to the wiki page on the planned funeral no bank holiday and the funeral should be 10 days after her passing which I believe is Sunday week.

Confused Clarity Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) 17 minutes ago, anagain said: He most likely will, but if you have seen the tweet then you'll know why he felt compelled to call it out. They'll all have a go at Meghan soon. Probably why she apparently isn't there. I don't like Piers Morgan and I usually disagree with him. I'm glad he made this one viral and called out. Surprised I'm quite rankled. I'm not a royalist and often I've said we don't need them. This feels so big though. Tweet felt like someone having a pop at Britain...wouldn't be the first but this was different The tweet is very confrontational. But they still have a right to say it. Of course many of us will absolutely disagree with it and will find it distasteful, but we do not have the right to police how other people react to this news. People who have historical links to victims of colonisation are maybe not going to always have the same views of the Monarchy and of what it represents as us and we need to respect that. Better to not engage with it rather than to try to draw attention to it and invite a pile on. Edited September 8, 2022 by Confused Clarity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
