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.

I like reading those comments. I thought the previous set was even funnier. One of my favorites this time: "When he said people are jealous of Meg being a famous actress, I lost it."

"A famous actress"?

No, Megsy Dearie. Cate Blanchett is a Famous Actress. Meryl Streep is a Famous Actress. Beyonce is a Famous Actress. You're so far from being a famous actress that you're not even a Has-Been. You're a Never Was and Never Will Be. Faking 0rgasms won't win you any Oscars, not in this life anyway.

They should spend money to hire a playwright, so there would be less plot holes.

World wide derision of their Truths. Widely deserved.

I say, invite him. Invite him and hope he shows up. Who is going to be the most uncomfortable person in Westminster Abbey that morning? Harry, that's who. He'll be treated with excruciating politeness by people who think he's a loathsome little todger and he'll know it. It'll probably be the most uncomfortable 3 hours of his life.

Besides, is it not true for these big state events, that there is just one broadcast feed? They don't allow dozens of different worldwide networks to set up in Westminster Abbey taking any video or photos they want. They'd use up all the space. So, it should be pretty easy to keep the cameras trained on KC3 and Camilla and the other participants and set up exactly how many shots of the wider audience are allowed. That'll keep the focus on KC3. Sure, the American networks will go on about Harry and MM and where they are seated, or whatever, but they'll also have to focus on the actual broadcast feed and what is actually happening in front of them and it will have zero to do with Harry.

If he doesn't go, I hope he signs on to do commentary with CBS. It would be hilarious. He is no historian. He has no knowledge of the coronation and the reasons why certain things are done. He has limited historical knowledge of his own family and of the UK and he has a terrible memory. He'd be a disaster as a commentator, having to think on his feet. I guess he could comment on some of the guests, oh, there is my cousin Peter Phillips, he always thought he was Granny's favorite, but it was really me who had the special relationship with her.

He’s been invited to and attended 3 excruciatingly painfully awkward royal events so far and he hasn’t shown a spot of remorse or even embarrassment and has in fact gloated about negotiating reconciliation and doing things on his terms.

I don’t know how many more clear signs this strategy doesn’t work KC needs. He probably has 10 years rule tops so this mess is going to still be pretty fresh in living memory when it comes to KW so I think it’d just make it messier if they don’t sort it out now.

Sure BBC films in the abbey but the pap shots are a free international market and that’s what people care about. You take pics on the red carpet not in the premiere.

On the other hand, I think H colour commentary on his network of choice could be pretty funny. I can see him just saying incongruous *****y things about his relatives, not knowing the names of any political figures and then trying to remember the words orb and sceptre for 20 minutes and just making suggestive hand gestures at the anchor before the curb your enthusiasm music plays

Oh wow she ofthe midnight feast with the cloth on a plug on a heater in the housing unit in the court of the ambassador who were just passing by

She definitely doesn’t look like someone held hostage metaphorically or otherwise. That dead-eyed look conveys sheer joy I’m sure.

The Chinese commentators are the best, they don't mince words

I will say that I believe she was sincere at the start when she was helping at the Hubb Community Kitchen. But once the cookbook was mooted, she couldn't stop her greedy heart and hands from snatching the spotlight.

Her only sincerity is how to use an opportunity to further her own ambitions and look good doing it.

 

[papertiger]

Oh I didn't watch, I only saw the short clips, most recently the one where she oh so movingly told the story of the flight crew member who thanked her for her service and saw the sacrifice.

Wasn't he "...the pilot or something..."?

Chief bottle washer and head of biscuits perhaps?

More like a figment in MegZ one-track, one-trick lama 'baby brain' (not talking pregnancy here)

Another TRG deep dive - into the non-foundation ARCHEWELL FOUNDATION. a few key takes
1. The Harkles did not sign the AF impact report, two unknowns now head the charity. It is a charity despite having foundation in its name
2. There are at least TWO Archewells , ARCHEWELL LLC, ARCHEWELL FOUNDATION AKA charity
3. there is like a dozen shell corporations / LLC
Very murky … I don’t claim to understand it all
4. Who pays for the legion of accountants ???
5. IMPACT REPORT is content free, taking credit for work done by partner organizations

in 2016, when Hillary was running, I did scrutinize the tax returns she published
She and Bill have piles of shell corps/ LLCs, the Harkles are using the same tax dodging scheme as others, legal if you do the filings. BUT while Hillary was running and not earning, Bill was hard at work doing speeches/books and actively running His foundation
i just don’t sense the same work ethic with the Harkles, what is their second act ?? The TIG ??? hah

This "people are jealous of me because I am XXX" seems to be a recurrent theme for narcs.
And there is so much wrong with the notion! When you tell them:
a) no one is jealous of you
b) you are not XXX
The typical response is a condescending sneer and the rebuttal: You are just jealous of me.

It’s part of the nature of the condition I think. If they really are narcissists they can’t conceive of a relationship that isn’t about their personal gain.
In a way it makes you sorry for them because they are stuck with only ever being transactional and they can’t really feel deep affection.

"A famous actress"?

No, Megsy Dearie. Cate Blanchett is a Famous Actress. Meryl Streep is a Famous Actress. Beyonce is a Famous Actress. You're so far from being a famous actress that you're not even a Has-Been. You're a Never Was and Never Will Be. Faking 0rgasms won't win you any Oscars, not in this life anyway.

I’d struggle to give Bey the title of actress even. She sings brilliantly but I think she’s more a big screen presence who plays herself in every role.
I dunno there’s been some precedents in people receiving an Oscar while acting out their ridiculous sham of a marriage to the detriment of those around them…..

We had this posted before, but well worth watching - and if there's one video people should, no must see, it's this one.

I stand by my assessment of the 2, they are con-artists.

I only wish TRG worked for the IRS. As she said, how were they allowed to have a charity? If they set it up, where are their signatures?

Every PR puff piece is about how THEIR Archewell 'Foundation' is X,Y&Z, and yet they're not even directors? Their signatures are not anywhere to be found???

Who are they setting-up to take the fall - when the time comes?

What a mess, what a farce, what a swindle.

No point in feeling sorry for narcissists since they don’t know what they are missing and they do plenty of feeling sorry for themselves.

Rich, famous and (very) stupid

Harold, looks like your wishes have been fulfilled! TW didn't take any risks, she apparently disabled 'Google' on all of her devices before meeting you.

"The Duke of Sussex says perhaps Chelsy was his only girlfriend who did not get fascinated by his royal title.

Writing in his memoir ‘Spare’, Prince Harry notes: “ I’d always wanted to know what it might be like to meet a woman and not have her eyes widen at the mention of my title, but instead to widen them myself, using my mind, my heart. With Chelsy that seemed a real possibility. Not only was she uninterested in my title, she seemed bored by it. Oh, you’re a prince? Yawn.”

He continues: “She knew nothing about my biography, less than nothing about my family. Granny, Willy, Pa—who’re they? Better yet, she was remarkably incurious. She probably didn’t even know about my mother; she was likely too young to recall the tragic events of August 1997.”

And then he married a famewhore if there ever was one. And he still thinks she saw the person and not the title, the money, the clout. I do feel sorry for him.

I might feel sorry for him if he were a nicer person. He’s spiteful and bitter and it’s easy to dislike him.

It should be a crime to be so stupid.
