Harry & Meghan #58 From bump concealing to thunder stealing. Poor Eugenie how you feeling?

[ResidentMerkin]

It's clear the wheels are coming off. They genuinely don't understand why they can't do both.

they cite other royals of examples of people who have a private income - but Eugenie for example receives no privy funding, undertakes minimal engagements (those she does are for charities she is personally a patron of), generally keeps a low profile and lives in England. She isn't in the press four times a week, getting involved with politics, signing mega million contracts, going on talk shows to talk about the Royals, and constantly in a war of words with her family: why would any normal family want people like H&M to represent them. Let alone one that has a thousand years of history to balance and maintain.

they don't even live here! It took Meghan less than two years to merch her title and royal experience via a biography, Goldman Sachs, Disney, Spotify, Netflix and now Oprah. It's embarrassing! It's so so aggressive, and so is doing all this via the press (which is something she was "heartbroken" by according to the infamous letter to her father). She's an extremely cunning figure, and how anyone has any sympathy left for them is astounding. Treating a 94yo woman like that, let alone someone you love, let alone when their other half of nearly 80 years is in hospital...that takes a special breed. Their aggression and connivance is bared to all, and this is the fall of the Markles.

As others have said, there were a thousand eloquent ways to accept and praise the queen for the space and peace to pursue their new life. To say they loved and respected her. They walked away from Royal life yet seem to think they could be paid by Disney, mega buck corporations and banks, and still virtue signal atop their Royal status. They could have used their platform to talk about young actors, Hollywood, people with disabilities, the health service, mental health during lockdown, but no, as ever, me me me me me me me me me me me me, we are doing this to appearance and instead of talking about people like this, it's me me me me the royals me me me me.

finally, the other royals who aren't even working royals either, aren't paid for appearances. So, congratulations on yet another deliciously stupid narrative. This is like the horn of plenty and I am here for it. The palace are so wise, these idiots are taking themselves out readying their own shotguns.

*TV appearance sorry

although there are situations that have gotten some spicy coverage in the past.... like the whole dr Hon tit https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...introduce-contacts-Hong-Kong-businessman.html and Lord knows Fergie has tried her hand at nearly everything in order to earn a living.... while often being seen as hinting towards her royal connections - but she has been slammed and reprimanded by the men in grey suits and the public/press for those stunts at every turn, so the protocol of "do not use your titles to make money" has remained a well-established and well-defended policy. These two twits don't accept it.

The practical trouble is, as it isn't LAW (per se) and is more a principle to keep an element of selfless dignity about the monarchy, I am not quite sure how Brenda or Chuck or Will will be able to enforce it. Especially from the other side of the world and doubly since they are sticking to the "never explain" matra that allows megsy to run roughshod all over the RF and the UK.

Not only do I think they are going to host faux-knighthoods and TTC and Commonwealth and Rememberance, I fear they will keep it up and when Brenda is replaced by Chuck, Harry will start calling daddy every day begging for the Megxit terms to be reversed and for their wish of "half-in / half out" to be accepted. They will point to their "success" in carrying out their doodies [sic] in the US as some sort of proof that it works, and it should be adopted as the modern version of the monarchy. They will browbeat him and as he is weak, he will fold like an Ikea futon frame. Will will be faced with either upholding the traditional values of the monarchy or submitting..... and then Megsy will be back in the Palace. Can you imagine!!! Ugh.

That is - if Megsy doesn't find a Silicon Valley target / husband number 4 (I suggest Larry Ellison or Elon Musk).

Thank you xx.
I'm popping back I am getting withdrawal symptoms xx
I admit I can't keep up with every post so I be flicking though and putting a reaction to the ones I like.
I think the court thing last week drove me mad I hate how her dad and the queen etc aren't been treated well by them.

I read every post before but it's a struggle, I'm not the fastest reader in the world lol.

I will still come on and will add a pic once in a while too but sadly can't read every post.


I won't leave completely xx
I realise now it's exactly a year since I've joined
It's my favourite website xx

Don't stress yourself Pom. I know you love a few threads. We're always here for dipping in and out of.
Just look after your health and we'll see you when we see you bubba.

Some Americans have a fascination with Royalty.
I am an American.

This is near the top of my newsfeed:

“Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Push Back on Queen's Statement: 'Service Is Universal'” from their friends at People magazine.

Have you got any sense of how their ungracious response to Liz has been received by normal America ?

 

[Shihtzu12]

I NEED this interview to backfire. Even those who are neutral on them/like them say wtf?! Hope Oprah is feeling the heat and is nervous. Shes been high and mighty for too

 

[Orangeinessex]

Apparently, I'm rabid!!

'Meghan and Harry critics foam at the mouth because the young couple is winning'

We adults still don’t get it - this current generation is rooting for Meghan and Harry. Older heads may be ensconced in the archaic idea of duty but your kids see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as being completely on their wavelength

www.mirror.co.uk

Winning ? So much for their Carey sharey humanity schtick

 

[ResidentMerkin]

Thanks to all for being so welcoming....

Another thought - I wonder if a change in the law is being discussed regarding the lessons learned in this debacle? If a prominent member of the BRF wishes to become a private citizen, surely a more dignified and planned 'leaving process' should be strategised that everyone knows how it would work? For example, if Prince Louis wants out, ( as he will slip further and further down the royal food chain) he should know that all titles will go, sign a NDA that he cannot discuss his time (or profit from) the BRF, not use his BRF past for future monetary gain. He would become a complete private citizen just like the rest of us and be left to his own devices. No surprises, no threats, no demands. Just an amicable farewell and be invited to private family occasions only. Much clearer and easier for all.

I guess there needs to be an "or else". The carrot/stick analogy whereby there is an incentive to support and follow through such an initiative by a lower ranking royal. They got a cold shower with the abdication of a king from his actual throne. I guess there was, until now, less of a sense of urgency to clarify what is abdication and what does it entail for a non-monarch? but you're right - hopefully this does pave the way for a cleaner exit so that you don't have the risk of a grifter coming in and destabilising everything/resorting to borderline blackmail.

Is it wrong to want an undercover scoop from one of the tabloids to set the Harkles up and show them up to everyone?

 

[Veebee27]

I often wondered why she was sitting alone at the wedding. It looked sad and pathetic and wondered why? Like surely she had one friend or relative who could have been her +1

She looked uncomfortable sitting alone at the wedding. I remarked at the time that an escort could have been found for her and I'm certain it would have been suggested for such a grand wedding. I think now that maybe it was orchestrated in Meghan's favour to further her "poor little me" stance.

 

[JAR21]

How long can Harry stay in the US without having to become a US citizen? Or can he stay indefinitely without?

Good video by Sue Smith. M will have the questions prior interview and prepared answers

Well let's hope Oprah has a few more up her sleeve.

 

[ResidentMerkin]

Interesting..

I wonder how long these will stay on the official RF website https://www.royal.uk/duchess-sussex?

Exactly what I was thinking. To add to that fairytale Disney image

Lovely pic of Eugenie and Jack and their son, August Philip (knew that would be in there somewhere )

And we can see baby's face! That's how you do it.
View attachment 446829

Compare that newborn to this one who was a full pound SMALLER than August Philip at birth. a full pound. Also that baby is a week old and still has the pinkity pink pink flush of a newborn. Farchie - below - the ruddiness is gone, he is considerably bigger and no sign of a hand or that squished up little face they have for the first 10 days.

ETA I went and compared to the photos of my 1st born (boy). He was 9lbs (yeah -- that was fun). His dad is about the same height and build as Hazzard. I looked at photos taken of him holding my son at and after birth (swaddled) and the head size seems similar. He is red like August and the squishy face is there for most of the photos that I think were taking within 10 days. After that his face softens = like the one above. Lengthwise, also my boy toook a few days to "uncurl" so to speak but at birth was similar in length to what appears to be Farchie's length. Farchie was 22 lbs smaller at birth than my boy. Also my boy had a spectacularly large noggin (again - that was fun)..... 99th percentile.
Darren Doll or 4 week old. Either way -- something doesn't add up.

How long can Harry stay in the US without having to become a US citizen? Or can he stay indefinitely without?

No more than 6 months in a year. He could get a marriage based green card (sponsored by his wife), so he can get permanent resident status which can lead to citizenship.

I found this when looking up Meghan's supposed first husband: https://cjhawkings.com/married-meghan-markle-trevor-engelson-before/

 

[Pixillated]

Have you got any sense of how their ungracious response to Liz has been received by normal America ?

I think by most people, not the sugars/ fans, it was seen as highly disrespectful to HM the Queen.

BUT, I saw this sickening trend. Cosmopolitan magazine showed all Harry and Meghan’s former patronage’s saying farewell and said there was “nothing but love” for their former patrons. Not recognizing that they were just being polite.

AND this:
From the same Cosmopolitan article.
Now Cosmopolitan is NOT mainstream America!

They are being hailed as “service warriors”

“On that note, if you're looking to take inspiration and delve into acts of service yourself, check out the charities above or consider donating to a reputable organization helping people in Texas right now. What better way to take this royal message to heart, amirite?”

Did Oprah pal around with Harvey Weinstein? 5 potential problematic issues

Here's some tea on Oprah. She won't ask Smeggy anything contentious and will buy into her victimhood 100%

Re Oprah, in Sue Smith's video she also mentions Oprah and Weinstein were friends for over 20 years and Seal, the singer, said that she was aware of his predatory nature

Eeeeeh! I knew you would be a similar age to me by the the things you talked about! I am 48 late May.

The 1990s was the best decade for me.

I put this here as a post mentioned Worzel and Aunt Sally in a post last night.

She's too old for the likes of Elon lol. She's too old for any successful bloke really and they have all the info of her behaviour in front of them to realised how much hard work she would be. Maybe she needs to makes friends with some septugenarians...
