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.
 
Who are they paying to get H’s book as the number 1 non fiction book on the nytimes best seller list on Sunday January 29????
Remember all those Black Friday deals of “Spare” for $0.01? Those are counted towards opening day sales.

And it only takes 5000-7000 sales to be a best seller in the memoirs category.
 
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. :hrmm:

"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.”


1. This guy has drunk so much kook aid he must have got diabetes on the spot.
2. That’s natural human emotion H, you moron, people aka show empathy or surprise or shock to how a person’s circumstances differ from their own when trying to relate to them.
What would be far faker in my opinion is if a person didn’t react at all to supposedly new info about a date. Especially if this person called themselves an actor….

This guy has really never heard of the Yoko Ono manoeuvre and why it works so well on a fragile ego.

Tbh my conspiracy theory is Chelsy was planted there by the family in the hopes he’d date a suitable girl and she maybe even got a little coaching on how to stroke his ego. Cress was obviously set up by the family so why not Chelsy as well?

Though part of me thinks this is all an elaborate crutch to explain why H went to Africa to find himself and love and all that and still managed to never find a single black girl to date and wound up with another posh skinny blonde.

Cosmetic surgery goes all the way back to the early part of the 20C, it's just relatively safer, inexpensive and a lot more accepted these days.

What's also sad (and it's not ONE particular ethnicity) is that men and women often want to rid themselves of what their cultural background gave them naturally and 'import' some standardised feature. In M's case, this applies.
It goes wrong all the time still though and that’s so scary.

You’d think Linda evangelista and Naomi Campbell would get top work yet 2 of the great supermodels faces got absolutely ruined by procedures. It just seems a bit random still how your face takes to it.
It is scary how prevalent PS has become and the risks people are willing to take (check out the Asian PS subforum here on TPF) to fulfill some artificial canon of beauty
But women have been trying to conform to what society decides is beautiful for centuries, taking belladonna to show bright, dilated pupils, feet binding, cosmetics made w lead, cranium elongation (both men and women on this one), etc
The sad thing is that MM has effectively erased what made her unique as a mixed race woman and now looks generic and mainstream which might have been her goal
This is the reason why I can’t get behind K-pop. They are catchy songs sure but I know the industry relies on selling as many wannabes as possible cosmetic surgery on payment plans they can’t afford.

I disagree with this line of reasoning a little I think she did try and sell herself as a unique biracial beauty as this one of the best times in history for her to have market herself on her biraciality because there’s this urban myth that biracial people are the most uniquely beautiful. It worked for Mariah, Foxy Brown, Paula Patton, Jessica Alba, loads of girls.

The problem is and always has been that the way m looks shows that the myth is a myth. To be blunt she’s never been pretty enough to sell herself purely on looks and never had the talent or the drive to sell herself on her performances.

In LA I think the prominence of the entertainment industry motivates women to make themselves into the cookie cutter ideal of female beauty. It is what they see everywhere and for those in the industry it helps them get more roles.
Meghan didn’t get to be one of two dozen suitcase girls by looking unique.
Well tbh I don’t think it’s that bad I mean look at the Oscar nominees for best actress this year- I wouldn’t call most of them beautiful.

There’s lots of veteran actresses who aren’t sensationally beautiful or even big personalities (a La Bette Davis) but they all are good at a) acting and b) getting cast in lots and lots of productions. M not only can’t act but she didn’t want to do 3/4 films a year, plus theatre to remain credible, plus voiceovers, plus tv work. She just thought being on a tv show once made her famous forever and luckily for her she married a man who has finally made her relevant.

I think she just really bought the Lana Turner story that the casting director would be so bowled over by her beauty she’d go straight to the top but that didn’t even happen to Lana Turner :lol:.

I have one next to my bedroom door. Got it as a parting gift from a co-worker when I interned in Turkey. Or rather, as @papertiger said, the evil eye is nazar (in Turkish), the amulett is called nazar boncuk ("evil eye bead"). Or you can get a hamza (also called hand of Fatima). I would probably do a spiritual cleanse every night after going home :lol:

ETA: I just read a lengthy Twitter thread written by a Native American woman who explained the trend to smudge is making the special kind of sage go extinct. She says her people only get a few leaves off each plant, thank the plant for its sacrifice etc. and so it can take them all day to collect a big bunch to smudge with. But a*sholes drive in with huge trucks, mercilessly rip out whatever they can find and sell it for good money to white people who are riding on the wave of the moment. I had never thought of it but it left me so disgusted with everyone involved. She ended the thread by saying maybe research your own culture's way of cleansing and use what is indigenous to your area.
She makes a very good point.
Of course I’ve heard of horseshoes, clovers and white Heather in U.K. and people used to put shoes in the walls. (Don’t advise that one)
Speaking of her massive baubles. I have always wondered if they are all real? I suppose she has made a lot of money over the years, but they are big and she wears too much at one time IMO. She must have the same hairdresser as Gwen Stefani because you never see dark roots with that very blonde hair. :biggrin:
Yes that must be the reason ;)

If I ever (unavoidably) had to meet H or M, you can bet I would be wearing my enamel blue Hamza pendant my father bought me (I have it hung around my bed post next to my pillow and sleep with it next to my head).

You only have to see the looks that M's given people to know the unfathomable and directional hate she feels towards others. That Harry can be brainwashed so easily and literally pours verbal-acid on his family and strangers alike is not a good sign he' s in good mental shape either. Evil is a type of madness. This couple literally wish people ill.

A bit of a fishing net is also supposed to be good (unfortunately, I can't remember why :rolleyes: )

For those without official amulets, just draw an eye on the palm of your hand and hold it outwards towards trolls and haters :biggrin:

No sage needed, your can also just wear bright blue as protection.

Not that I believe any of this stuff LOL.
I collect evil eye jewelry. Good to know all I really need is a marker. :biggrin:
 
Is Zed hawking jewelry now? This pseudo advertisement mentions the Douchess several times and it's in one of her mouthpiece magazines.

S0, that's a :yes: then

Next stop QVC or JTV for her concept 'lOvE-My-tRuTh brand full of lab-grown glass sparkle, crown-jewel charm bracelets, flash-plate 'gold' 'Diana' nameplates, Ripples-of-Hope chains and Tears-of-Compassion drop earrings. :sick: :throwup: :throwup: :throwup:
 
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


Their 2nd time round at this. I remember when they closed down the Sussex Royal gig, Sparry said he wasn't involved, didn't know what it was doing, and that it was run by a board of directors. When it comes to financial shenanigans, it's my opinion that he is as crooked as Zed.
 
He’s usually fine in situations like that though. He’s used to giving speeches and performing as expected. I’d love to know what he’s like behind closed doors these days.
Your description reminds me of circus seals. Maybe that's why he appreciates his magic woman so much, he is responding like a seal.
