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.

Well first of all, Harold doesn't think.

“Married a skank”…ouch!

 

[gracekelly]

apparently he can juggle too!

That was one of the comments about the window shot of his blue todger and that it was supposed to reference his juggling act outside the window when Meg was doing her birthday 40X40 video.

To be fair, she wasn't a skank. She conducted herself quite well in society and always looked very good.

That's what I thought too. The attention to all the little details suggests the SP staff either did intensive research on them, or they went into it already hating them and with a stockpile of ammunition. OK, which one of you writes for SP?

Neither of which can be said about MM. But WS did have Nazi sympathies:

Nazi officials also tried to get the couple to return to Spain, by force if necessary, and lend their support to the German war effort, which, if victorious would see the overthrow of King George VI — with Edward in his place as a puppet king and with Simpson as his queen.

News:
"Lust for mon$y" MegZ new meal ticket?

Who owns Finding Freebies?
Elizabeth Arden sponsorship (product placement + plugging deals))
Baby rumours (MeGain) - prevent her from travelling "Nothing that woman does would surprise me"
Tried to the baby rumour at QEII's funeral
"Rumbled in Southpark"
Outraged/thrilled about being in SP
Utterly insincere
Tig - Power-crazed rebel
H&M separated? Sources ("You can't believe a word H&M say)

Wow! A Getty baby and a surrogate, why? Is this confirming a rumor that Harold might be infertile? This is getting too crazy. Who are these people?

Better get used to the doors smashed into your frozen todger, Harry.

TW is also upset, allegedly

Yes, and I am not excusing this, but it didn't make her a skank.

I still think H is a fish out of water

Always has been, always will be. He may want to follow his bud James Corden's lead, but he's just about burned every bridge by now. Corden on his decision to leave his show:

"But the reason to leave is: we're a long way from home, you know, in Los Angeles, and there's people at home who are getting older, and we want our kids to know them and be around them," said Corden, who has three children and is from England. "Anyone who's got kids knows that feeling of just wanting to put down roots in a place where your family might — are gonna be," he added.

But as long as TW is calling the shots Harold is stuck, a self-made laughingstock in an unfamiliar and increasingly unwelcoming country.

I'd guess that someone was following them for a while. There were too many details that were put in there that even a recent deep dive would not have shown.

Yes, and I am not excusing this, but it didn't make her a skank.

To many Brits at that time, and by Merriam Webster's definition, she was:

"a person and especially a woman of low or sleazy character".

Not really any sleazier than a lot of other married society women who slept around. You would have to call Thelma Furness, the woman she edged out, a skank too.

Someone must have read Revenge. For example, if you recall TB discusses the reporter who interviewed her at her Toronto home and was struck by all the pictures she had of herself on the walls.

So Harry tried to tell the writers of SP that they got things wrong and that they didn't want privacy? How about being called a victim? Did they get that wrong too?

I bet they did read it! Maybe even lurking here and LSA and Tattle. There is a treasure trove out there.
