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.

Now, now, let’s not be too judgmental There is a lot you can accomplish in one hour.

Yes, if you hustle you can clean 16 toilet bowls @ approximately 4 minutes per bowl, but travel time running from 16 scattered bathrooms adds on to that. So, hypothetically, less time is spent weekly on a multi million dollar Foundation than is spent on swabbing toilets in the Monteshitshow white elephant heap they call home.

Of, course to someone who only worked, and complained about much of it, for 72 days as a Royal, having to suffer the plebeian task of working with staff for an hour a week would be egregious. The thought of actually having to dedicate time must be foreign to a Douchess.

On the flip side, imagine how truly horrendous a boss she must be that so many Arsewell staff flee after short employment, having had what appears to be only minimal contact with her.:angel:

I think if given the choice with working with her, and cleaning the 16 toilets, the choice is clearly the toilets.

I remember when I had to fill in an application form for a university in a foreign country, there was a requirement to prove that you could speak English competently as well as a Romance language. This was for a training course funded by the company where I work. The HR girl who was handling my case condescendingly told me: Just put a note that you are a foreigner and they will exempt you from this requirement. I shut her up by submitting my language credentials. She retaliated by trying to deny my funding using a made-up t&c.

Zed likely put in some BS to say that she spoke several different languages. So long as no one in Northwestern actually tested her on it, she could slide on through. There is proof after all that her mastery of French and how many years she was studying it differs with the direction of the wind.

Good Lord, if I counted how many languages I speak in Meghanese, I guess I speak five! My mother tongue, English (both fluent, I think!), French (which I took for 7 years and spoke decently enough, but after 20 years away from it, don't understand much, although can still read at grammar school level), Spanish (since I can Spanglish my way though at work) and German, which I took one summer of when I was age 8.

You should make phone calls. I had a couple of people as no shows and it costs you money because you signed a contact with the caterer for X number of people. One of them was my SIL’s mother which really annoyed me! She never apologized either.

Harry will show up and act as if there was no need for him to respond. These two will push buttons up to the last second just like they did at the Jubilee when they pranced in at the last minute for all to see.

The very frustrating part of my wedding planning was the invite list. People no longer understand what RSVP means, so I was left with calling and emailing a staggering amount of people to see if they were coming. It wasn’t the worst part of planning, but it definitely opened my eyes to how lazy/aloof/disrespectful some people can be. And the no-shows just blow my mind. So rude!

My guess is they will hold two seats for these two dolts at the coronation, but keep pushing them to the back of the room as time passes. Let those who are eager and respectful have the better seats. H&M can watch from the drafty entranceway.

Exactly. If they don't show up, two lucky people will have better seats.

From the Express article linked above:

Delaying an announcement is the last power move the Sussexes have over the Coronation, and by leaving it to the last minute they ensure that they retain control of the narrative and show the Firm that they will still do things on their terms.

Narcs gonna narc.

If it was a wedding thrown by any of us, you could always tell them they're no longer invited and then have a bouncer at the door. In this case though, there will be media outside and throwing them out would be all over the media and it would indeed be all about them.

Probably the organizers should have a plan A, B, C, and D to reflect all the possible ways they could try and crash or disrupt.

They should've put an RSVP on their invitation only: "RSVP by 4/6/23 or don't bother to come."
You know, the longer I wait to buy tickets for any significant event, the higher the likelihood I'm sitting in the nosebleed seats. Just FYI KC III.

I'm going with the outfield bleachers that are a long walk to the rest rooms and concessions.
