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 addition, I think she enjoyed abusing the term "heavily pregnant" to get out of duties (like attending funerals where she knew she'd be snubbed) and to gather even more attention. Wasn't she described as "heavily pregnant" for about six months?

For some reason that phrase always grates on my nerves. I've never heard anyone say a woman is lightly pregnant.

Intriguing...

Is Kara Kennedy related to Kerry Kennedy? Probably not, but it would have been a cool coincidence.

Is Kara Kennedy related to Kerry Kennedy?

Well, there is a Kara Kennedy who is one of Teddy Kennedy's children I believe. So, she'd be a cousin to Kerry. (There may be another Kara in the family as well.) There are so many Kennedys, it's hard to keep track.
ETA: Looked her up on wikipedia and Teddy Kennedy's daughter, Kara, died more than 10 years ago so this writer is not her.

Yes, they were related - cousins.
Kara is Ted Kennedy’s daughter. She died in 2011.
Kerry is Robert Kennedy’s daughter.

The author of this Spectator article and the tweeter of the tweet is not related to these American ones.

Well, the article is dated January 30, 2023. Unless Kara K has found a way to communicate like Harold's mother, we have here a different Kara. By the way, the article is fun to read.

Heavily pregnant when it suited her. Not heavily pregnant when it came to flying to NYC for her extravagant baby shower.

I checked out a few of the pictured tweets. they all started tweeting the same video from 2019 regarding MM’s speech at Smart works. Almost all either trash Catherine or the royal family and praise MM.

From the number of followers, some are from the crazy Sussex squad, but others have very low numbers of followers/following so would be bots (Or newbies).
