Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Master Thread


A friendly reminder to stick to Harry and Meghan, a little off-topic is natural, but not for pages. Let's stick to the topic, please. No politics, discussion about members, etc.

A few words: prince puke and his pukess.
Could you imagine the reaction of that couple if the Queen does bypass Charles? Better hope the pukess doesn’t have access to nuclear weapons!

Only if the pinky rings each represent one of the kids, Archie and the Invisible Girl.

An interesting post on what is becoming an infamous pinky ring.

The rumor is that the big diamond used on the pinky ring was part of diamonds allegedly gifted to the couple by a mysterious donor from the Middle East. They denied this and informed that the ring was sourced by a stylist directly from the designer, but later clarified that they were referring to the other pinky ring (the cheap one). In other words, they didn't clarify the provenience of the stunning diamond that should never have been used on a pinky ring.

so her right hand pinky ring is a larger diamond than what most of her stans could afford for their engagement ring....yet where is the money going as far as charity? why are they getting credit for being such humanitarians? makes no sense

They deal in charity in the abstract, theoretical sense, not in the writing a big, fat check way.

The couple would be furious imo. It would end the issues with the titles for their kids, since they would never be the grandkids of a monarch.

Is is possible the ring isn't hers, she just borrowed it for the photo shoot?

Also, now that the pic is in-your-face big, could she have loaded up on even more jewelry? Channelling Lady CC: vulgar.

And why is her wedding band in front of her e-ring, another hidden message?

Lady C is older and the big stones work well for her. MM was wearing beautiful pieces, but the way she combined them looked tacky.

However, I don't think there was a hidden message on the wedding band. The diamond on her e-ring is relatively heavy, so the ring might feel a little loose; the wedding band in front gives a little more support.

nope. It was clarified that the borrowed ring is the smaller pinky ring. The other pinky ring has unknown origins

Sourced by a stylist. Translate: borrowed for the shoot.
So, not her regular jewelry, a prop.
Interesting - someone thought the bonus bling added gravitas ?

See the 2nd part of the post. They clarified later that the ring borrowed for the photo shoot was the small pinky ring, not the one with the big stone.

Here is one of the articles on the 'infamous' pinky ring @bag-mania

Questions about Meghan Markle's jewelery look set to overshadow her appearance on the cover of Time magazine, amid a growing mystery surrounding the ring on her right pinky finger.

Yesteday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle denied claims that the ring, made by celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz and reportedly worth an estimated $62,000, was fashioned with diamonds gifted to the couple by a mystery donor in the Middle East.

They said the ring was sourced by a stylist on the shoot directly from the designer and that there was no link to a mystery donor in the Middle East.

But in a spectacular U-turn, they later rolled back the denial, and clarified that they were referring only to a ring on Meghan's left hand - a $525 pinky ring from Shiffon, which is meant to represent women's empowerment

There was no further mention made of the Lorraine Schwartz ring in question on her right hand, begging the question of whether Meghan has something to hide about the provenance of the diamond, which was first seen on her finger in October 2020.

If the diamonds did indeed come from the Middle East, it's not clear if Meghan received the gift while she was still a working royal, or after she performed her final official duties in early March 2021.

Although Buckingham Palace keeps an official list gifts, only those received while on duty in the UK or overseas are made public, and there is no record of Meghan being given any diamonds during her travels as a working royal. She did not visit the Middle East in any official capacity, but it's possible she could have visited privately.

It comes after Meghan was criticized earlier this year when it emerged she wore a pair of dazzling diamond earrings on her tour of Fiji in October 2018 that were a wedding gift from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who's been accused of ordering the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi…

Riddle of Meghan's pinky ring made with 'gifted Middle East diamonds'

Okay, it's hard to keep up with all of this stuff. There isn't any doubt then that that was the ring made from the gifted diamonds. It was reported openly last year. From the article below: Page Six has now been told that the brunette, in fact, turned to celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz to fashion the ring from a gift of diamonds that the couple received from the Middle East.

And how many times did her engagement ring have to be reset before she was happy with it? I know it was reset once within a short time of them getting married but it looks like it was done again last year: The prince also took the opportunity to have Schwartz resize and reset Meghan’s engagement ring — which features two stones that once belonged to Diana — with a new delicate diamond band.

Meghan Markle’s pinky ring is a custom Lorraine Schwartz design

Some royal watchers speculated it could be Princess Diana’s famous aquamarine ring, but the diamond bauble was made just for Meghan.

TIME really is money.

The Smarmy Smarmets on the cover. "WTF"

@Betty-Lou Welcome to the H&M thread and thanks for creating the very appropriate nickname Smarmy Smarmets to describe the despicable duo and as such you have joined The (endless) List where the collected nicknames are kept. The List will be posted as soon as our clever members run out of ideas which apparently won't happen in the near future.

 

[Maggie Muggins]

Omg. There’s so many comedy-gold posts here!

Thanks to the Royal Crassness latest fail, this thread will hit 5,000 pages in a few days.

Thanks @le_junkie for your 3rd very apt nickname 'Royal Crassness' that entitles you to a gold ribbon.

Wow, this is a clever observation!

I‘m countless pages behind, so probably would have read about the Time cover sometime next week if it weren’t for my husband, who made me laugh out loud in the midst of a waiting room full of people with this exact meme!
Honestly, I thought this was a joke until I came here for your comments.
And I still consider it a joke. They are a joke, no memes needed.
