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.

BORING & DISPENSABLE.

Do something useful and go scrub a toilet, or feed the chickens.

As an almighty gift to the world, Her Heinous sees no reason to be useful. Her sole purpose on this flat earth is to be worshipped - preferably with loads of money - just for gracing us with her presence.

The William who knocked Harry to the floor and broke the dog dish would not want his father speaking for him or for Kate to Meghan. He seems to have no trouble speaking for himself. :lol:

I haven’t been impressed with Charles’ leadership capabilities so far. By the time the Oprah interview aired he should’ve known to not put anything in writing or allow himself to be recorded.

Which is why I highly doubt any such letter exists, unless they forged one, which is something I wouldn't even put past them. Another desperate attempt to stay in the news. I was going to say "stay relevant", but to stay relevant you have to be relevant to begin with.

Is this photo of Harkles leaving the UK? ;) They all seem in a hurry to see them leaving.:lol:
The Telegraph article was released on QE's 97th birthday, when you think about it...

Charles enjoys spending time with his grandkids.

This photo was taken moments after H&M’s wedding. It appears everyone was happy they were leaving :roflmfao:

Oh, I believe she wrote to him many times. However, I doubt she received any responses other than the standard ones provided by the Palace and reviewed by lawyers.

Can you post a photo of what you mean? I remember when her face looked puffy in some photos. Any thin woman who gains a few pounds could look the same but not necessarily pregnant.

One photo that came to my mind was the one where the world was first introduced to Archie. Harry was carrying him and she was dressed in this white sleeves dress. Seems puffy and all to me.

My opinion is she must have given birth to the kids. She desperately wanted the royal connection and this is the only way to ensure it. Although i must say I'm surprised she got pregnant so fast (and seem rather easily) for her age. I have friends around her age and stories like miscarriages and IVF are quite common.

View attachment 5767541
The Duchess of Sussex expressed her concerns about unconscious bias in the Royal family in a letter to the King, The Telegraph can reveal.
It is understood that the correspondence was sent in the wake of the March 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview, in which the Duchess alleged that a member of the Royal family had speculated about the colour of her unborn son’s skin.

A source has said that the Duchess feels she has not received a satisfactory response to her concerns, and that is believed to be one factor in her decision not to attend the Coronation on May 6.

It is understood that her letter was sent in reply to one from the King. He is believed to be the only senior member of the family to make contact with the Duchess after the interview.

Then Prince of Wales, he is understood to have expressed sadness over the chasm that had emerged between the two sides of the Royal family.

He is said to be disappointed that the Duke and Duchess felt the need to make such high-profile and damaging allegations.

In the interview, the Duchess told Winfrey that there had been “concerns and conversations about how dark his [Archie’s] skin might be when he’s born”.

A source claimed that the letters make clear the identity of the senior member of the family who made the comment.

It is understood that both the King and the Duchess acknowledged that the individual’s remark was not made with malice and had been considered an innocuous observation.

The Duchess is believed to have thanked the King for his words. The Duchess’s letter is also said to suggest that she had never intended to specifically accuse the individual involved of being a racist, but was raising concerns about unconscious bias.

However, it is understood that she does still consider the comment to be racist…

Lol, the letter was probably something like…

To Duke and Duchess of Sussex

please direct all future correspondence to [insert name, address and email of BRF lawyers]
Regards
Private secretary for Prince Charles


MM responds in her usual calligraphy naming Charles, Camilla, Catherine or William as the racist. Then because it doesn’t leak for TWO years, leaks it herself conveniently JUST before the coronation and after positive PR for PW and Catherine in a restaurant and a photo of the Queen without the Sussexes spawn.

Still in a narc rage MM because she is being grey rocked / ignored by the BRF? She has to pull some stunt…
