Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Master Thread


A friendly reminder to stick to Harry and Meghan, a little off-topic is natural, but not for pages. Let's stick to the topic, please. No politics, discussion about members, etc.

I'm wondering why I believed every word of the Andrew Morton "Diana" book all those years ago. And this book I believe nothing. Why is that?

Me too! This exact thought came to my mind recently. My own theories:

1. I grow up, develop more mature critical thinking and get a lot more cynical. Things are not black and white in life and there are three sides of stories etc
2. Google. It wasn’t possible to verify facts then but it is now. When I read non-fiction these days, I am very slow as I have my ipad on the other hand to google various tibits.

There were sensasionalist books in the 90s-early 2000 (the one burned in my mind was 1421: the year China discovered America) that I held as truth but later were debunked. Nowadays, I google before reading to see if they are fact-based or just opinions.

Which brings me back to Spare. Maybe his book is geared towards certain clientele: the naive, the gossip-hungry, the ones with axes to grind. Just like the author himself.

I love that Maureen Dowd column. Thanks for posting it Chanbal. I especially love this comment:
"I have to admit, if it were me, I would have put up with a lot to live through history, to see the end of the Elizabethan era. I would have loved to be bouncing over the Scottish highlands with the queen in her Land Rover, nursing a thermos of Scotch and hearing anything she had to say about anyone."

Do those two realize what they are missing?

Not yet. They made too much money in the last few years and were too busy to get themselves on the front pages. When the royal gossip sources are depleted, so are their bank accounts, they might start to think if it was the right path to choose, but at the moment they still enjoy the moment. My opinion only.

Just a smidge you say?

I'm getting to point when I feel nauseated when I hear his flat, boring voice. Imagine; listening to this for endless hours, even without looking at his idiotic, grinning face that puts me off gingers for the rest of my life.

I'm fairly ginger (not as bright as H).

The difference is I own it.

The way he makes it such an issue (again and again) and puts himself down (or pretends to) because of it, just shows he has a huge problem with it, or is reverse-bashful ('my "Spencer" ginger genes are stronger than M's black genes') which I find literally repugnant. We (human beings) are more than genes.

Perhaps that statement in an interview ^ was not for the first time has he called himself a Spencer, singled out his Spencer heritage, not to mention the incredibly telling jibe at Wills for not looking like Diana anymore since hair-loss (rubbish). Since he distances himself from the Windsors, he should return all privileges being a Windsor has given him.

I guess if you're a born Prince, your genes are all you have, they make you YOU. I made me, nurtured (good or ill) by my family and experiences, that's the difference.

Please don't blame gingers, we disown Harry as a self-hating ginger traitor.

It occurred to me that Sparry is also buying into Zed's fairytale mentality. He sees himself as Cinderella combined with Tam Lin, with all that bs about a villainous stepmother and a strong woman who rescues him from enthrallment.

The Tweeter below claims that TP provided Harkles housing at the request of OW. For the ones that read the book, has this been confirmed?

This person also claims to know about an interaction between Hazz and a worker at a certain startup. I'm not posting those rumors here because they are about a very serious issue, but you can find them on Twitter @ SophieCaligirl (see below).

In E6 of the mockumentary:

While on a private jet heading from Canada to LA, "thanks to an amazing friend that we've never met before, who believes in us and wants to help".

When interviewed in the mockumentary, TP said he first sent a message to Diana's Vessel before the wedding saying that he's praying for her.

Diana's Vessel's claimed that after years, she finally called TP while they were in Canada without security and hounded by paparazzi. TP was the one offering his place and that they can stay as long as they want.

If TP reached out to them before the wedding, was this at OW's behest? If it's not and TP was already in private correspondence with them, then I think there's a 50% chance that OW didn't ask TP to take them in.

All in all, there are always different versions of a topic with them so it's hard to tell which is the truth. However, wasn't there claims about TP kicking them out after Diana's Vessel disrespected a mansion staffer? If that's true, why is TP still pro them, Invisili's godfather and openly singing them praises?

I can assure you that I'm not supporting these devils. I'm genuinely perplexed

Harry is DESTROYING HIMSELF says historian Dr David Starkey​

 

[QueenofWrapDress]

Giving into his demands, even negotiations, any negotiations, will not only make the BRF look weak, but show who's really King. I do not want Harry the rat-worm to be king

That's what I am thinking. Especially now, after remaining firm for so long. They need to ignore him and if he lets his lawyers ask their lawyers if he can come and apologize they can entertain that thought, but nothing more.

ETA: also, narc moll

There's a fact for you. My truth

Oh yes. So many of my Middle Eastern crowd are Team Harry only because they hate the BRF. They don't care if he lies or belongs in an asylum, and they particularly enjoy what they make out to be a marginalized person (never mind she looks white, never embraced her non-white side, grew up privileged and after all is American, not some passport holder that cannot get a visa anywhere) to be the catalyst.

I don't even get it. I'd go back to fake red in a heartbeat could I be bothered with the upkeep.

I wonder what the Spencers really think. Proud to claim him or rather sprinkling holy water so he can't come closer?

Don't worry. Nothing makes sense with these two.

Probably turning their lake into a moat

I just stumbled upon this on IG. Thought I'd leave this here because I know some of us wonder how can William and Frostbitten Penis be raised the same but turned out differently.

The coronation and reconciliation !!!! The OFFICIAL BRF NEXT MOVE IN CHESS GAME HAS HAPPENED

1. Times article talks of currently unscheduled meeting , per "ROYAL SOURCE who has the king’s ear" - this is an OFFICIAL leak
2. Meeting with the men KC3, William , Harry and two courtiers in the UK prior to April HOPEFULLY. Archbishop of Canterbury to help mediate
3. Later meeting with women K & M
4. All before coronation ( to which the Harkles might come if the meeting achieves something …. That is my interpretation )

Clearly this is the BRF response saying WE ARE TRYING … and avoid PANDEMONIUM at the coronation ( due to presence of the Harkles )

Obvious problems with the plan
1. MM a is not included in the first round
2. H has to go to the UK, but is busy with book tour - scheduling nightmare

Stay tuned
