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.

My parents divorced when I was young, but when I married my mother gave me her wide 18K gold band that had been a great-grandmother's. The date in it is something like 1896. I wore it for a long time on my right hand but it no longer fits. We've been married for 40 years.

Awwww. I had a sentimental wide gold band and had a hinge and clasp out on.

Back to topic. I’m so glad yoh all reassured me about the tiara. Thank you !

Seriously though. Would they really pull out a tiara for her? She isn’t a working royal. What are the rules on that? Obviously she can’t be trusted but is she entitled to one as Haz’s wife? After sashaying away like they did it seems they should have to BYOT bring your own tiara, no?

I don’t want her claws on the jewels.

The BRF must have paste copies of a few tiaras stashed away somewhere, they can let her "borrow" one of those. The Duchess Of GimME will never know the difference.

Imo if they show up, put on the regalia, sit in the front row, kiss the ring, bow, etc., their hypocrisy will be mocked for generations - much worse than Andi already is.

Prince Andrew told US 'not dumping ground for royals' as he eyes move

So let me get this straight - once upon a time when the sun never set on Victoria and Edward VII's empire, the US sent dozens of American heiresses with pre-income tax fortunes to England to bail out their cash-poor noble families by marrying their wastrel first and second sons. Now in return a highly-placed highly disgraced member of English royalty wants us to accept not one but TWO royal sperm weasels who can't keep their pants zipped, go through money like it's toilet paper during a diarrhea epidemic, keep Saudi princes and drug dealers on Speed Dial, and consider flying in a commercial aircraft to be "slumming".

Gee, we'll have to think about this for a while.

OK, thought about it. Somehow it seems like we're getting the short end of this deal.

How about this? Bring George Harrison, John Lennon, Freddie Mercury and David Bowie back to life with all their faculties intact and put them on a separate plane to the US and we might consider it. Oh, and include all of the cash all those American heiresses brought to the UK a hundred-plus years ago PLUS the interest that could have been earned on their dowries and we'll think about it.

Meanwhile, please tell Randy Andy to practice an American phrase that may come in useful in his future career as neo-American royalty:


"Do you want fries with that?"

Randy should check out Americans' opinions of his relatives before he packs his bags.

This never gets old….lol

I doubt she wants to do the actual work.

I don't doubt that when she snagged a prince, she thought she would get to sleep late and laze around all day every day.

She probably thought it would be like Downton Abbey, with Anna coming in every morning to open the drapes to wake Lady Mary, followed by a leisurely breakfast, whiling away the afternoon gossiping with Mama and Grandmama over tea, then dressing for cocktails and dinner, on repeat.

A vicious version of Austen's Mrs Bennet.

I picture the Half-Price Prince as more of the Burger King type. That's the ONLY crown he'll ever wear. Or deserve.

My only criticism is they continue to be way too generous with the amount of hair on Waaaghry's head. Position him in front of a moderately good source of light and you can see right down to that empty head of his.
