I'm still catching up on the thread, but accidentally hit the Post button. So in order to not lose all this...
What does the poppy have to do with it?
She's an individual who works and lives in Canada and is currently in the UK. It's the day before Remembrance Day. Why wouldn't she be wearing a poppy, even if it's just to pick up groceries?
I know it's not a thing in the US, but in Canada most people are wearing poppies all the time starting the last week of October, up until Remembrance Day.
Thank you!!
She wasn't wearing one when she was photographed in Canada a few days ago. Why would an American who previously never wore a poppy suddenly put one on? Especially for a quick errand.
Because from what I have seen over the years, a British Poppy seems to be able to be fastened far more securely than our Canadian Poppies are. One year I ended up somewhere close to 30 Poppies over the course of The Poppy Campaign. Ours are attached by a very flimsy stick pin and that's it, so it doesn't take much to lose one as you go about your day.
Which is what could have happened in the photo you are referring to. As to why she's d wear when not a Canadian? It's called showing respect, & when in someone else's Country, you respect their Culture & Traditions. Especially when comes to something as important as this.
I find this you using this as a reason to attack Megan over as rather offensive. There other "mis steps" I'm sure you could find to harp on about I have no doubt, but to use wearing a Poppy as one? Sad, very offensive and disgusting too.
How do we know if she never wore poppy before? Most people say they have never heard of her until the past 2 weeks or so, we have no clue if she wore one before. She would no doubt get called out if she didn't wear one.
Exactly!! She's working and living in Canada most of the year for many years now. She would have had to live under a rock to not learn what the Poppy stands for and means. Plus it was Remembrance Weekend in the UK. I don't even want to remotely think what the headlines would have been if there wasn't a Poppy on her coat when in London this weekend.
Of all the things I thought I would see a Royal girlfriend get grief over....A Poppy!! *shakes head in disbelief*
BTW...For all those wringing their over her being an actress and oh me oh my I just *know* she's going to be *indiscreet* because we know they all blab about everything..."? I'm old enough to remember Prince Andrew's relationship w/ certain Katherine "Koo" Stark, an actress who had made a few soft porn films IIRC & had also posed nude & just how serious that relationship was. Sadly, it didn't work out & it wasn't too long after that a certain Redhead came on the scene.
All these years later & which one is it who is constantly bringing up her Royal "connections" in the Media & who has kept her mouth shut?
Just something to put out there to ponder over...
