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.

Darn, that one's photoshopped too.

Really, there's so much to make fun of, but cheating like this diminishes the argument.

Yes, you are correct. Still, imo, any time a nearly 40 year old father of 2 tells the world about his frozen todger and his extensive use of drugs, the world is required to mock that man-child as much as possible. He is not a role model, not someone to admire, etc. Cruel? Maybe, but the needs of the many outweigh the wants of the 1.

Distinguished foreign guest my *ss. I wish the US would kick this imbecile out.

guest? he lives here

Pretty sure that's another photoshopped picture. He is balding back there, but not as much as they're having fun with.

People should just stick to the facts - there's plenty to find fault with.

He looked pretty bald on top in the polo pics from last year. Hope he used some sunscreen.

I have seen these pics before, and I don't know about it being photoshopped. I thought that Getty images were untouched?

So how can she have a huge belly in one and not the other?

I suppose someone can grab an image, photoshop and save, while still giving credit to the photographer?

I have no idea really, it's just very strange.

And yet, photos at the funeral showed a lot less bare scalp and yes, I looked. lol

Hair replacement treatments or what? I can't see him making fun of his brother's baldness with an empty space back there on his own head. His making fun of his brother can only be said if he didn't have such a bald patch himself. ?

His mocking of William's thinning hair was pre-MM, when he had a lot more hair.

When you purchase photos from Getty you must give them a photo credit, which they did here. However, you are not forbidden to retouch them or change them. One of these (almost certainly the big honkin’ pregnant one) has had some work done.

Either that or the dress was as wide as a muumuu and could cover up the moonbump in the first photo.

Another common trait with TW - accuse others of being unethical when oneself is unethical. Unbelievable.

A link between the author of the NYT article and the Harkles has been found…

I have no idea either, but I will say that there are just way too many odd pics and things that she does while supposedly pregnant to make you stop and think. I don't recall the PoW having any wonky pics taken. I think she brings a lot of this scrutiny on herself.
