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.

Re: the supposed pregnancy announcement: during a 2019 H interview with Dr. Jane Goodall H said they were limiting their family to 2. He did his eco warrior branding thing, threw a little shade on his brother’s family of 3, and acted like a superior ass preaching to the world.

So how do they “spin” this?

If true, they will be under a microscope. With all the shenanigans about prior pregnancies, no one, except their rancid sugars, will cut them any slack.

They don’t care about titles for the kids. They are only thinking about themselves. Kind of how having a baby never saved a bad marriage, it won’t save their tarnished image either.

South Park didn’t even acknowledge them having children. Nobody thinks of them as a family. The kids are merely props that are used once or twice a year.

Here is the thing, and I know that I saw it. There was a nanosecond when the Meg character says "oh no! Now they know that Archie doesn't exist." I saw this yesterday and I am unable to refind it. I know that the UK version of the show was slightly different and I might have seen this on a UK site.

To my knowledge they have never opened anyone’s head like a trash can to look inside it before. Meghan has set a new precedent on a 26-year-old show. She must be so proud!

Empty. Worse than shallow as there is nothing in there. Souless! What a comment!

They care about titles for the kids if it keeps them royal adjacent and more importantly if they can make money from it.

Did I hear correctly that what prompted Harry to do so was Kyle across the street angrily stating he doesn't care and walking in and M exclaiming "What did he just say, he's victimizing me, it's because I'm an ethnic woman!"

Here's the clip:

He's rubbing his blue todger on the window? O...M...G...

Wonder if this is significant? She is in LA Santa Monica

This is how you "modernize the monarchy". It does not involve tell all books and TV shows.

"She is adapting the royal charity playbook for the 21st century."

"Her approach to charity work represents a shift nearly a century in the making."

Sounds like somebody wants to earn himself another episode. The “Prince of Canada” can return at any time.

Unlike other animated shows that take months to produce, South Park can turn around an episode in less than a week. Harry and Meghan do not want to engage Matt and Trey’s undivided attention.

They were careful not to mention any names. This was a spoof of the "Prince and Princess of Canada". How can he sue for something that wasn't about him?

I was too busy laughing. After she said “he's victimizing me, it's because I'm an ethnic woman!" Harry says “you’re ethnic?”

 

[charlottawill]

It’s been done. She won’t get a New York Times opinion piece this time. No, she has to pull something else out of her bag of tricks.

Triplets!

Triplets!

Maybe they’ll go the Madonna/Angelina route and start adopting multiple children from Malawi or Cambodia.

Dear lord, don't give them any ideas.

Many more famous people than Meghan and Harry have known to just leave it alone when they have been skewed. You don’t call attention to it and you hope it fades away quickly.

I don’t know if they’ve ever had an episode about frivolous celebrity lawsuits though. Could be an opportunity.

The only episode that I think has been pulled is the Tom Cruise stuck in the closet one.

The SP episode makes me so happy. I've often felt like Kyle, pointing out the BS with these two, and my friends and family just tell me they don't care and don't want to hear about it!

My husband said “you understand that you’re Kyle, and I’m the friends, right?”!!

Matt Stone and Trey Parker aren't afraid of the Harkles. On the contrary, bet they love the PR and attention from this episode. They've parodied so many public figures/celebrities over the years. Tom Cruise threatened to sue but eventually didn't. And like @V0N1B2 said, the Harkles don't have the cash Tom & Scientology have.

Did he get the episode pulled?

It will be a “miracle”

A multi pregnancy, that way she can wear her 10 month bump from the start.
ETA I see @charlottawill beat me to it.

Rumours and speculation are one thing. Not a fan.
However, given the strange moonbump stories, photos and videos and - see above in #94,935 Quote: "This was discussed in one of the videos by Pdina &TM. As far as I recall, he confirmed knowing about the frozen eggs." - so her supposedly frozen ... was that in Canada ?

So I wonder - all speculation of moonbumps aside - what if at least now a "real pregnancy" - IMO most people will show a soft spot for a pregnant women with two little children - no or hardly any boos - special treatment of a heavily pregnant geriatric - endangered! - woman, lots of attention on the maybe heavily stressed out and heavily breathing - is she alright? following cameras all the time - and so no matter what was before, whether moonbump or not ... because in any case now directly a grandchild to the King from her body i.e. automatically titles?

I'm pretty sure she definitely wants and needs the photos of the coronation, especially the connection of her and the children with the King! Birthday Archie will definitely getting press - birthday of the "little Prince" in GB on Coronation day - linking her children to the King and Royalty.

I can't imagine she would want to miss out on that.
So many storys to tell afterwards - moaning or victimizing or victory or reconciliation - asking: what else would the former deal or no deal briefcase girl and actress in a supporting cable tv show and according to Tom Bower: a proven liar and master manipulator and PR pro (e.g. lying and distorting the narrative so RACISM in the RF??? in a widely broadcasted interview while Prince Philipp very ill and HMTQ and her children fearing for his life - a long life of true selfless service to The Queen and Country - by the way - where is her Excusing to the British people and the Royal Family - on the contrary - accepting a reward in NY!). OMG - this really has to stop.
