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.

They reached a new high in the States!


Prince Harry's popularity has sunk 48 points since December and Meghan Markle's has fallen by 40 points....

Thx Chanbal

MM looks like miss pushy pants <when she keeps them on> has the devil fire in her eyes
Harold, wipe that sneer off of your face, you look like what you are and it's not pretty

Yep, those two are just nastiness personified and with their marriage let's multiply that exponentially

And my guess is that their popularity has dropped 14800000000 points, so go away, you two user losers

Thanks for this. It's exactly what I thought. All of them (Harry, Meghan, Eugenie, Jack) are well into their 30's, but dressing up and partying like 16 or 17 year olds. I'm fine with people having a good time but, in the immortal words of the real Prince, act your age, not your shoe size.

Is this not a thing? Coming from the stronghold of carnival I don't think much of dressed up adults (or actually, I do but only because I'm a joyless Grinch who hides inside all during carnival eating donuts).

Both have a point!

The sex part is dubious. I think she's just trying to "charm" money out of an old guy for her "philanthropy". But I could be wrong.

sorry for repeating myself but why should he give her money? the Gettys have their own foundation which is probably run much better than hers

correcting myself - I'm quite sure it's run better than Archewell

You're right, but that doesn't mean she won't try to work that Markle Sparkle on him.

she may try but hopefully she will not succeed....just because he's old doesn't necessarily mean he's a fool

So many stories about BRF Cartier watches, don’t know which is true
1. MM did buy herself one, is it the one that she currently wears ? might have been Tank Francaise in steel and gold
2. she wears yellow gold watch now , Tank Francaise ???
2. D had a Cartier watch, conflicting info about which son got it , don’t remember the watch style or color, don’t remember when it appeared … after separation ???
4. Lots of BRF ladies have Cartier watches, the Ballon model is popular with Catherine and Sophie , do they have more than one ??
I doubt that most internet journos bother to check the details color/model of the watch when spreading stories, if W learned to tell time with the watch, D must have had it early in marriage …
MM was big on Cartier jewels at the time of her wedding, wore piles of the stuff, tinier, dainty pieces, but still very expensive, who gave them to her ?? how much did she get ??

PS just found photos, D had at least 6 watches, incl 2 Cartier tank watches - the basic , called the Louis Cartier model, with black lizard /leather band, a yellow gold Tank Francaise - but the TF was not released until 1996 - W DID NOT LEARN TO TELL TIME ON THAT ONE - so D's yellow gold TF was not a sentimental piece, she had it for maybe a year before she died.

Top 6 Princess Diana's Watches [Meghan Markle Owns Diana's Watch?]

Diana is still regarded as a style icon. This blog post will dive into the Princess Diana watches. Learning which were her favorite and where her watches are now.

Wait. Wait.


Reading that article (Thanks for posting it!!) I realized something interesting.

The two pieces of Princess Diana’s jewelry that MM has worn are her “freedom” pieces. There’s the massive aquamarine ring, purchased in ‘96 to replace her engagement ring. And the Tank Francaise from ‘96 to replace the gold Patek Phillipe that was a wedding gift from Charles.

There’s a couple other pieces that MM has worn that have been attributed to Diana, namely the 80s butterfly/omega cuff set, and a tennis bracelet that Harry pried stones out of.

I find it interesting that Megan’s major pieces are all post-royal Diana, worn for less than a year.

True, he may just play along because he enjoys the attention.
