Harry and Meghan #38 Mired in debt - playing Russian Roulette?

[freda19]

Brilliant penny. And highly concerning.

That's why I hate twitter. Between buying followers and hiring bots to up your profile it's a joke, but not a funny one.
FFS it's used as gauge when would be influencers try to blag freebies. " I have 50 zillion followers and can promote your hotel/restaurant/product if you give me a freebie." I read about one jeweller who was tortured with these people begging freebies so he said "OK, you buy wear and advertise my bracelet on your youtube vids and tell your followers if they want to buy it here's the promotional code to use (*something basic like blet 123*) and if 20 or more people buy one from us using your code we'll refund your money". Oddly enough he says he's never been taken up on the offer and even been told "duck you, your stuff is crap" more than once.

Also when jobless titty girls and lunchbox boys go on reality shows their 'followers' numbers are often mentioned in the introduction and during the shows ... as if it was a Masters Degree from a prestigious university. Bloody twitter wrecks me.

You're lucky if its a good one. The last time I bought one it was rotten. It's almost impossible to find one that isn't too hard or gone bad.

It's delicious! I bought two, ate the first one on Sunday and finished devouring the last one just a few seconds ago.

Meghan Markle's Twitter bot network: 'The whole thing is a bit insane' - Macleans.ca

A European consulting firm has discovered a 'highly-connected' Twitter hive that is attacking journalists who cover the royals

www.macleans.ca

This doesn't surprise me at all. There's something quite sinister about some of the sugars on Twitter and I would like to know who is behind them poking the fires. Of course some are just deluded young fans but there's a feeling I get that many are stirring the pot as they want to destabilise the monarchy. It's not just the Meghan worship, it's all the anti monarchy stuff accusing them of racism, possible child trafficking and pedophilia without any proof. There are some that have also wished them dead

I don't believe that Meghan is any sort of plant or involved in a conspiracy. She's just a narcissic grifter who wants money, attention and adoration.

There's definitely some people who have latched on to her for ulterior motives of their own.

I love how he explains how "we can kind of see now where this what Meghan wants Meghan gets narrative came from"... as if the narrative that he is offering did not come from a very specific and biased place

Scooby talking about the tiara

I notice that he's spun the story there to say that they kept asking and being ignored. I find that hard to believe. Surely they were just supposed to book an appointment at a mutually convenient time. It all sounds completely blown out of proportion.

Perhaps the Harkles just thought that they could summon Tiara Lady whenever they wanted with no notice. I guess that would be closer to the truth.

I’ve been on twitter for 5 years and have 43 followers. I haven’t got a clue who most of them are.

Also because i have so few followers it makes my opinion worthless according to that bleep Piers Morgan

I simply don’t bleeping care!

Yes, I agree, I think there were definitely some articles where you can suspect class and cultural differences and just plain ill will and bullying and this is one of them. The problem here I think is that a makeup artist posting a photo of the oh so trendy avocado toasts while gushing about his newly royal host just does not sit well in a royal context. It's influencer fare and many people would go even then. But I think this is where the issue of cultural difference and also class may come in. Let's say someone has been even slightly socially mobile, not necessarily in any negative sense, and sees things like avocado on toast as markers of their ascent, should then people with a different background, who have never had to make that journey shoot them down and make fun of them? I think her lashing out at Kate may come from this kind of a very hurt place, Kate knows what not to do and the list may seem endlessly long from the perspective of someone who does not. You would not want just anyone to tell you and a friendly sister in law may very well feel like the right person.

Just playing the devil's advocate...

No, you make a good point. But by the same token smeggy shouldn't refer to the Cambridge kids as feral just because Kate lets them go barefoot on grass occasionally, or comment on how the royal houses allow dogs the run of the home so the houses tend to reek of dog, or that our ancient buildings need air fresheners. If people want allowances made for their habits or ways then it's a two way street. Smeggy doesn't do two way street, it's her way or duck off with your silly decades/centuries old ways.
Kate was fine with her in the early days, especially considering the rumours around her past which for sure Wills had been made aware of. Not effusive, but smiley enough and OK. But if someone refuses your advice re dress code at wimbledon, when hats are to be worn or that tights are the norm then you get the message that the witch is on a mission so you leave her be to dig her own grave. Well I would, in fact I'd hand her a spade, but I'm a bleep like that I suppose.
She couldn't even grasp the reason for the tights rule and happily appeared with bruises (and probably carpet burns

) at events where she was pictured seated with other royals. Legs are like cars, they get dings and bruises and tit happens , so tights tidy things up for the photographs. It's that simple, but no, smeggy has to let everyone know what she was up to last night and that she sucks like a dyson.
And don't get me started on her dodgy bras or her going braless. Not a good look in photographs. duck sake woman, get measured properly and hoik the fuckers up rather than let them drift south as titties often do after breast enlargement has been reversed.

Thanks for the thread!

Toxic Lainey's back to spread the Rose Hanbury rumour and to tell the world that the Harkles are living with Oprah.

Its a coordinated 'something', isn't it?

The rumour of Prince William's alleged affair with Rose Hanbury resurfaces after royal reporter Tom Sykes publishes juicy piece at the Daily Beast

Royal reporter Tom Sykes brings rumour of Prince William's alleged affair with Rose Hanbury back to life in new piece for the Daily Beast as it's reported Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stayed at Oprah's guest house in LA

Dear god can none of their circle write properly? Appalling piece cobbled together. Speaking of which, working painfully through FF. 'July 3rd as the taxi wound it's way through the dark streets of London to KP'. Did she go there at midnight!? Dark streets in early July? Also DOC called Kate throughout, not Catherine. Loads about H being wary of women who just wanted to be with him as he was a prince and they might like to be seen with him....eh she dropped all the hints about them beforehand and he couldn't even get a woman at one point to go out with him...

I find it weird how Twitter is quoted as news when it's generally just people sounding off. If someone has no expertise then its just opinion (like tattle).

And I totally agree with you about this weird idea that having loads of followers elevates you to celeb status, but I guess we've always had media like Magazines trying to tell us what we should like, what's fashionable and manipulating us into thinking that we must want what they are promoting.

HAH , same as me then . I have (I think) about 15 followers. I only know 5 of them properly from an old forum I used to be on years ago. We just happy birthday and merry christmas each other unless someone has outstanding news to share, which is rare to be honest. The other 10 are just weirdos who messaged me asking to follow me and I let them cos they see duck all about my life on there other than occasional funny viseos of pets doing pet stuff and my birth date. Actually I must bin those 10. Some day when I can be arsed.

I suppose trying to be scrupulously fair, why Arthur might be asking for forgiveness on behalf of the press there was some gratuitously provocative coverage of M like this ... I mean goodness knows i can't stand her, but she's not the only person who eats avocados, wreaking this havoc single-handedlyView attachment 214995

I agree. I don't like how they behave but I thought the articles today about the schizophrenic person and the house near them was really low. I didn't read it but it seemed mocking. Schizophrenia isn't something to laugh at, and just because they bought there is irrelevant. Silly, as this is what they're talking about, how they're being bullied. Not reporting on them at all would be better.

And Pom's absolutely brilliant portrayal of Hazno on that stripper pole - after a difficult couple of weeks that had me crying laughing I have to say

Thanks Pom

You're welcome x
Thank you too and I hope you have better weeks ahead xx

Well, yes, turning up in Kensington Palace Gardens in sandals and bare legs in the end of November while wearing a coat looks ridiculous to me, but I don't think anyone would have given these kinds of small hick-ups a second thought had she kept a low profile during the first couple of years and taken the time to actually listen and learn. I just watched that Fab Four interview again and my god the endless self-promotion! She's in complete career mode when people just wanted to see that she is there first and foremost out of love for her future husband.

But just to play the devil's advocate again, it may be difficult to leave behind career mode when that's where you've been for several years and in a business where you really do have to self-promote as well.

 

[Chinese_whispers]

Have a look for the interview where both are sitting together!! They were sitting on a green couch! Just felt something was off!! This was even before I knew anything about this rose thingy!!

they could have had a row or something before they did the engagement. They work and live together. I’d have murdered my husband years back if I had to do that!

It was very silly, but I just had to laugh at the Daily Mail taking as many petty swipes at them as possible thanks to the very detailed and somewhat petty book. But I would love a reporting ban from the Daily Mail, it is too much and completely plays into H & M's hands.
