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 hope I didn't give that impression, I'm so sorry if I did, that was quite wrong (and unintentional). . The EJ concert was truly full-throttle, entertaining and musically accomplished, a fantastic gig. I was never an Elton fan and I was truly impressed.

David Furnish is CEO of the management and Creative Director of the show/tour, and it's probably him that we need to thank for the Gap and Benetton style 'advert' videos (nothing wrong with either brand - just saying).

The one second image of H&M in once of the vids (didn't end on them, they were just part of it), as some kind of sign of accomplishment in our progressive society, that a Prince was brave/daring/woke enough to marry a WOC, I could have done without. I do not see either one of them as progressive, more regressive. There is nothing new in entitled, greedy people wanting not only more, but lauded as they help themselves to more (elderflower and lemon drizzle) cake. It does show me, that people don't see them as people - but symbols. Oh boy do they milk that.

5 years down the line after that portrait was taken, no one sane can possibly think that these two are a symbols of anything but malevolent narcissism, selfishness, stupidity and utter greed. I do question why they were left in the video, they are not beacons of hope, they are malignant tyrants. What does it say about Charles, that he lets these two still hog the agenda, hold the country to ransom and the 'news' with false media narratives?

Oh, no worries, I misunderstood.
In all seriousness, it’s good they have Ej’s support, however small or large. They need support [as we all do].

King is warned against 'watering down' his Coronation

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: The warning will set alarm bells ringing at Buckingham Palace because it comes from Ben Goldsmith, whose family have been close to the royals for decades.

@jelliedfeels the beginning of this video is especially for you.

#2 is so...she is really doing his head in and at this point I can only conclude he CHOOSES to believe her BS. Or maybe she really gaslit his five braincells into oblivion.

'Hypocritical ratbag': Prince Harry slammed after leaving Camilla 'hurt'

That’s Charles in a nutshell.

Everyone has a mental image of what being a prince or a king means to them. Charles doesn’t fit anybody’s ideal for those titles. Now if you asked me who would be the perfect librarian, Charles would get my call.

I lurk on this thread and hardly ever post, but I can’t let this comment go past me.

As a former librarian, I have to say, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, he wouldn’t!”

I think anti-Monarchists are Team Harry because they know that Charles cannot just stomp his foot and wave his sceptre and yell “begone” to oust Harry from the LOS. They know that is an act of Parliament and they likely figure that, should such a motion get that far, then there are many who would say “what good are the rest of them? Let’s oust the lot!” Best chance there is at renouncing the monarchy anyway.

Omg Doesn't this look like the two people that we discuss here?

Thank you, he would be awful. Imagine the complaints [I just wanted to check out a book, not hear a book report].

He is best wondering his hills imo.

Old article -

Prince Charles has been utterly reckless and selfish by travelling to Scotland

Daily Record columnist Annie Brown says that as usual it is one rule for us and another for the “rulers” even in a time of national crisis.

Sorry about that. I was trying to think of where Charles might be happy doing a job. Being in a quiet place surrounded by books seemed to fit the bill. Maybe he could give lectures in stuffy university halls. (No offense to any professors here.)
