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.

From the current issue of Town&Country:

The reason for Harry's attendance sans Meghan has not been given explicitly, but a close friend of Meghan's is now sharing (anonymously) with People. "Meghan wants to be there to support her father-in-law, but at the same time, the scrutiny she receives outweighs the support," the friend said. "There's always going to be that other side challenging their reasoning, and who wants to put themselves in that position?"

How kind of her to want to keep the focus on the King (/sarcasm).

Twitter is so funny at times…

I used to complain in the Miley thread about her always showing her Labrador retriever tongue. She has finally outgrown it but it has taken years.

Hey what did cute Labrador retrievers ever do to be compared to Miles Cyrus !

I shouldn’t have watched that. It could be a dictionary illustration for the term “dweeb.”

It was 1970 and I don’t expect the prince to have long hair or be dressed like a hippie but even then he looks like he’s 30 years out of time. He’s one of those rare people who looks more natural as an old man than he did as a young one.

Yes just like my brother in law who told me he didn’t mind at all turning 70 as he had been born old and his body was only catching up with his mind.

How very American. Sounds like she is anti-monarchy or am I reading it incorrectly? What has KC done to earn his kingship? William? Yeah, please do give us a full accounting.

She is doing as she has been trained to do putting a polite spin on a public snub - the Queen and Philip would be appalled

I *was* a big EJ fan and have seen him a couple of times in concert. I am sad that he has chosen to back the Harkles and have lost all respect for him.

Me too

So would I. I'm sure Kate did and it shows.

Kate and Sophie both took on the wise advice offered from ladies in waiting and close aristocratic friends of the family

What kind of royal reporter is that clown

QE didn't look 'moved'… No one seemed 'moved' at that ceremony, not even the bride and groom.

"The sermon given at Harry and Meghan's wedding 'moved' both the bride and groom and the late Queen Elizabeth, while appearing to 'amuse' other royals, a documentary has claimed."

For what it’s worth.

This is verging on fake news. So many false statements like describing the Coronation souvenir programme as "featuring" the dire duo.

‘They were concerned’: Meghan Markle worried for her ‘security’ at coronation

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly "concerned" for the Duchess' safety and the public's reaction to her if she were to attend King Charles' coronation, according to a royal expert.
