Prince Harry and Meghan Markle thread

[Vlad]

I kindly request that all members participating in the MM and Harry thread dial back the vile rhetoric.

I am not opposed to discussing public personas on TPF, including the constant torrent of news surrounding the couple from this thread. But I find it troubling when their looks are being nitpicked apart to a degree that is just not appropriate.

This thread has drawn criticism over the years, and I discussed it at great length with Megs and the mods. I am not looking to close it down, but the vitriol needs to be dialed back.

My personal feelings about hate threads aside, this ultra-negative vibe is something better suited for other forums, Reddit, or elsewhere. I am holding our community to higher standards.

Thanks for reading.

In a recent publication, Harold was the one that wanted TW dressing like Diana (according to an alleged source close to TW). People are now posting pictures from before the Harkles met.

I forgot she did that particular cosplay in Africa. Meghan must have Googled “what did Princess Diana wear on her humanitarian visit to Africa?” and then ordered accordingly.

It was the same occasion. She only wore that apartment-priced outfit once. I still cannot get over the pricepoint, but I do think someone might have said something because it was never reported again she bought anything even near that cost.

My brain is not in gear yet and I read it as "that apartment-sized outfit".

I question this billionaire's judgement. What's a Jetty billionaire BTW?

Getty, they corrected in the comments.

No worries, I read it as "apartment-styled" outfit, and I only realized it after reading your post. It was before my coffee though.

How big of a donation are we talking...a sandwich platter?

Good question! While sandwiches and lemon cakes seem to be a favorite charity currency for the Harkles, they may use real dollars on selected (PR?) expenses/donations.

If the Twitter posts are accurate, they may have targeted major universities in both East and West Coast. It sounds like a very smart approach, universities in general are very receptive to extramural funding.

Did she proofread what she wrote??

Of course not proofreading is for the little people

The ones who see through the lies and the ones who support them will not most likely change much. What I find interesting is the amount of general "stop whining" , "ok maybe some of this is true, but they have it better than most so STFU" type comments all over the net. It really does seem that "regular" people even if having been somewhat sympathetic toward them are tired of the privileged duo whining and ready for the entitled brats to go away.

Encouraging, I must say.

I think you're right.

People who don't follow the ins and outs are still left thinking after every huge wave of publicity for some other fluff-vanity-project for $$$$$$$$$$$$, 'get a real job/life/grip already'

A jetty billionaire would actually work better for M, that's where you'd board a yacht after all.

It's possible. If not SS, it's likely another powerful PR agency.

The video below suggests that Harold fell into a trap set by OW, GK, and TW. The interview with TW alone was structured for maximum damage to the RF. It's an opinion, but it makes sense.

TRG RDD |OPRAH & GAYLE SET HARRY UP TO FALL FROM THE START​

I REALLY REALLY hope this gets picked up by some major news sources and Harry’s comments, effectively until now buried, get broadcast time.

Oprah, Meghan, Gayle, the contemporary version of the 3 hags in Macbeth, stirring their cauldron.

p.s. Whoever this lady is, she’s gutsy! i admire her forthright style and she seems to have receipts.

Weird. Despite what this Meghan supporter tries to say in Newsweek, at no time in his article did he show that Meghan didn’t lie.

Meghan's estranged sister said the royal never worked at the U.S. Embassy in Argentina, while Meghan has said she had an internship there.

This seems to be one of the many articles that are being released to promote TW.

Working for a few months at an embassy sounds a lot more important than a 5-week internship paid by a parent.

"By my junior year, I had finished most of my credits, and I applied for an internship at the U.S. Embassy, so I ended up working in the embassy in Buenos Aires for a few months," Meghan said.

These publications deliberately come up with headlines that will get clicks, even if they contradict the content of the articles.

Someone, not exactly a sugar but trying to be sympathetic and non-judgmental, claimed it was all due to photo angles and suggested we measure the angle of Zed's breasts against the dome of the bump. <face-palm>

I'll get right on it
