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.

I didn't think my reply to you in post #140,315 was dismissive, but if it seemed that way I am sorry.

I was referring to the later post about my idea not being logical but let’s forget all about it. Thank you for apologising - it’s very decent of you

Thank you for the article.
Very well said:

In America, he’s just, as the South Park creators rather cruelly put it, a “dumb prince”.
The Sussexes aren’t major influencers there. That job is left to people such as the less middle-aged Selena Gomez and Kylie Jenner. The Duke and Duchess are just another pair of celebrities in a country where they are two-a-penny.

Any American dream that Harry might have had appears to have gone a bit stale, with the Netflix glow fading much quicker than he may have hoped. His memoir is still among those topping the charts, but that caused a stir because of what it said about the Royal family as a whole, not just him.

In Britain, by contrast, Prince Harry will always be someone. He’s the son of the King, the brother of a future king and the uncle of a future king. And although he may have done his best to destroy these familial ties, they still mean something over here. That’s why Britons have been so reluctant to write him off completely. Positive memories linger of the lad who was a good laugh before he completely fell under his wife’s spell.

ETA: Did anyone really believe the USA wanted these royals over here? Really? I continue to be amazed that people in the world are that out-of-touch with the American mind-set, possibly the Canadian mind-set. It was/is/will be a stunning miscalculation imo. Gotta wonder what else KC and his crowd have miscalculated

IDK I think the whole BRF wants a slice of that American pie and as loath as we may be to admit it, H&M did bamboozle apple, Spotify and Netflix and seem to have wormed their way in with a few celebs - which seems to suggest the US media classes are in awe of royalty as I dunno what else they have to offer.

He's probably tired of them being used as pawns. If he did meet them, he'd have to be wary of his scum spawn and the awful wife merching the pictures. Sometimes, as sad as it is, you have to cut your losses while you can, especially if they're toxic. I don't remember if he mentioned the Wales' children either?

I’d agree if they had cut their losses and gone no contact.
As it is, we’ve got 4 big events at least 1 of the gruesome 2some has attended and no evidence of the family meeting the children.

I didn’t want to be too literal about saying ‘the kids should be mentioned in speech x or at event y’ I meant more there’s been no publicity about C wanting to acknowledge them or even meet this granddaughter. These kids have spent more time with Tyler Perry than their own granddad - that’s weird to me

I do also think it is different not mentioning one set of grandkids in an instance if you see them frequently and have acknowledged them whereas if that’s never happened with at least 1 of another set of grandkids.

If I was in the royal PR dept I would at the very least have some soft news floating around about how C is trying to arrange a meeting of the kids but the parents are withholding contact. Even Thomas Markle, for all his flaws, has consistently and ( I think) earnestly stated he just wants to see those kids.

Overall, I just feel really sorry for those stupidly named children. If they are real their wider (paternal especially) family seems to be happy making no effort to engage with them and leaving them to the tender mercies of at least 1 raging narcissist.

If you have to tell people how authentic you are, it’s pretty much a given you are not being authentic.

100% this, also anyone who always insists they are just ‘very honest’ and ‘tells it like it is’ is most likely not.

If it happens it’d be interesting to see how TP’s regular actresses react to their new ‘star’ and whether he sides with his loyal cohort or his new light-skinned avatar who probably lets him mash her husband’s British banger

Didn’t the Archetypes producer lose her job at Spotify (not necessarily because of that show)?

They were hard-pressed to come up with 10 stereotypes to use for episodes, since Meghan didn’t understand what an archetype was. I sincerely doubt they could come up with 10 more topics for episodes.

I don’t know if anyone would want to go on it now they realise they just get insulted.

‘Hi Paris, please can you explain why everyone calls you a dumb slut while Mindy tell us why you can’t get a man without forcibly kissing one?’

Well bless her heart...give her a gold star.

The comments are filled with stans praising the douchebag and his ILBW. One claimed that they are the most hardworking of all the BRF. Say what?

“The family members he remains close to are his cousins Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice — the daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, who is not invited.

They will be by his side as he watches his father’s onetime mistress, Queen Consort Camilla, be crowned queen, the title once promised to his beloved mother.”

And while Markle has been accused over the years of stirring up drama, the source familiar with the Sussexes said that’s not the case: “Meghan doesn’t want any more rifts. She wants her children to know their grandfather, Charles, particularly when they are not going to know their other grandfather [Markle’s long-estranged father, Thomas Markle].

“She does hope they will meet and hopes her decision will be seen as an unselfish one, as it was best to keep the attention on His Majesty.”


The Sussex source added that Markle made the decision to skip the coronation in the hopes of not stirring up more drama.”


Harry’s decision to attend the coronation was a lengthy process that spanned weeks, as Page Six revealed. In the end, Markle felt it would be “inauthentic” for her to attend given all the past drama.


Any ideas as to who the “Sussex source” could be?

Some days, I think the stans live in a parallel universe. Someone is feeding them daily Koolaid about Zed. Surely she can't afford to pay all of the idiots, so she must be paying certain key stans who are good at influencing others.

Which title? The Duke and/or the Prince? I'd have thought Zed would be rubbing her hands in glee if she could announce to her stans that henceforth the world can address her as (Disney) Princess Meghan. Then they would all scream racist/sexist when anyone points out that actually Zed is Princess Henry.

Frogmore Cottage, I wonder if the famous saying “History repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce” (KM) applies here.

No sooner had the scheming princess set up home in Frogmore Cottage with her weak and spineless husband than she embarked on a campaign of treachery that flummoxed the British establishment for years.

Having originally been welcomed and given the grace-and-favour home in the shadow of Windsor Castle, the couple, who were familiar figures in glossy magazines, began on a path of betrayal.

While the husband was described as a 'charming but almost entirely brainless buffoon', the most savage criticism was directed at his 'vicious and unscrupulous' wife who harboured 'anti-British views'…

Based on TB's previous comments and the way he talks, he wasn't implying that Kate did anything to stop TW from attending the coronation. He was talking about TW's enormous envy of Kate, and it was that envy that stopped TW. My 2 cents, of course.

This sounds like a very believable scenario. I just don't get it. By the time the nobody bagged the spare Kate had been around the BRF for almost 20 years, and her position as the future king's wife should have been clear for any onlooker. She could not seriously have thought she could somehow dethrone her, could she? Besides the fact it's slightly sick that EVERYTHING is ALWAYS a competition for her.

This closeness is being questioned, but I'm only posting this because of the hat!

Poor Eugenie. The rest of the BRF doesn't like her because of her fondness of the Troublesome Two, and now they don't like her because of her mother. I guess she didn't pick her company wisely.
