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.

Big contrast to TW guests, good for Kate!

I recall reading an interview at the time with a shopkeeper of Indian descent who was invited by the Middletons. He could not believe he was going to the wedding, saying they were lovely people and longtime customers of his.

French women don’t get fat! That idea while they feast on cream, champagne and macarons plus the Hermes exclusivity plus the “no make up” makeup plus the perfect pout. They deserve H&M.
Pffft, says the old and cranky American woman

That was a fun movie.

Would it be time to bring this out again...?

And she might choose to combine it either with the earrings from this set

or these

What's that I hear from Montecito...?

I was thinking the same thing but think it would distract the media too much.

I'd love to see Kate wearing some fabulous jewels but I think things will be relatively subdued due to the economic climate.

I sure hope Harry doesn’t have a puss on his face the whole time.

You know he will.
This has become his default expression.

Funloving Harry has been taken over by Angry Man.

 

[Stansy]

All of the above!

 

[papertiger]

I’m trying to think of the good works? Can someone tell me what they’ve done?

They must have done something, they've won awards and stuff for it

I can’t, with these people… “coroneted.”

Meghan was invited. If she hadn’t been there would be cries of racism throughout the press about the BRF excluding Harry’s wife.

She declined because she couldn’t think of any way to make herself the star of the event. Therefore it isn’t worth the bother to her.

"Coroneted"
Give me strength!

The sad thing is she does not give a rip about them. They’re just a means for keeping her popular (not in a good way). Narcissists don’t care.

Of course we will probably never know, but just as in “no you can’t bring TW to Balmoral” i think they told Harry he had to come alone and TW is not welcome.

I agree the use of coroneted is incorrect in this context but I don’t think their use of ravish in the above sentence makes sense either. Camilla had an affair with Charles while he was still married to Diana but saying camilla ravished Charles sounds awfully like a cheesy romance novel. No wonder the author of that post is a TW fan. They both like to use a lot of big words that don’t mean what they think they mean
