Harry & Meghan #580 Delusions of Adequacy

[moldwarp]

Well, it's all gone extremely quiet. Wonder what Smeg is up to ... possibly

Restocking her "brand" - food, clothes, whatever.
Lambasting any staff she still has hanging around.
Searching for another husband.
Attending photoshoot with random kids for next installment of her precious life as a mother.
Writing her autobiography - Lies and Untruths.
Learning another language to compete with her sister in law.
Taking lessons on How To Iron And Avoid The Crumpled Look.

Haz could be ...
Shopping for more sausages, a new dog bowl and necklace. All for the dog himself.
Trying to get past his father's gatekeeper to offer a bouquet of olive branches.
Selecting who to sue next - no sensible reason required.
Writing his next book - Please Forgive Me
Plotting his escape from the claw.

My honest opinion? She's desperate. Like Mark Dolan (love him!) said on the Daily Espresso - EVERYTHING SHE'S TRIED HAS FAILED.

Meghan has cycled through a number of personalities/personal brands since the fateful day she sat down in front of Oprah and lied her tits off. She's been Black woman victimised by racists. Gentle humanitarian, scarred by suffering yet still radiant. Feisty feminist. Female founder and entrepreneur. Giggly, ultra laid-back California surfer girl. Trad wife and working mom. Busy, high powered working mom. Zany, adorably scatty local girl made good. Sleek, privileged fashion maven. NONE OF THEM HAVE WORKED.

The amount of global goodwill H&M had when they sat down for Oprah was insane, if you think about it. Netflix and Spotify threw money at them. They were talked about in the same breath as the Obamas. Meghan making a run for US President was talked about seriously, not as a joke.

IT'S ALL FAILED. They've sunk so low, Meghan couldn't find a financial backer for her start-up jam business. Think about that. Venture capitalist investors in LA, they're a different breed. They're willing and even happy to lose $$$ millions on failed ventures because they only need ONE SpaceX to make bank. The rest becomes a rounding error. So as a result they're happy to take big punts on high risk ideas - that is LITERALLY their business model. And yet NOT ONE of these professional gamblers was willing to put even a paltry little $ 1 million into Meghan's lifestyle business. That tells you something. The smartest financial minds in the world know that Meghan has ZERO value.

They're friendless, no celeb wants to invite them anywhere because they know it'll turn into a Kardashian party PR fiasco. Harry can seed these stupid stories about returning to the RF all he likes, and the MSM will continue to print it, but it'll NEVER HAPPEN. KC3, I love and admire the man, he's an old man and his reign's likely to be relatively short. William will then EVISCERATE them. That man loves and adores his wife and family. He will NEVER forget what the Harkles did to them. He will NEVER forgive. When William is King, Harry'll be erased so completely that he'll WISH for another dog bowl to be thrown over.

They are done, done, done, done. You know like when you accidentally fuck up the timer on your oven and leave your Iceland Big Bag of party nibbles in there for 90 minutes rather than 9? And you open the oven door and this smoke gusts out and you're confronted with these blackened fossilised piles of ash that were meant to be tempura king prawns? Yeah. Harry and Meghan are THAT kind of done.

I asked chatgpt to draw a blueprint in crayon of Harrys plan to return. Here it is. ( Love the olive branch best.)

Thank you all, again. Albeit with a couple of hours flight delay and then it was about a 3 or 4 hour drive, we've made it home.

Shattered and now I'm going to be dreaming of scones

Welcome back @PurvyPanda

If Meghan is planning to launch an all out attack again on Catherine because she thinks it is unfair that she never gets good publicity and Catherine does we can expect a deluge of Victoria Ward et al puff pieces coming up. It is hard to believe that she thinks she can change our views on her with such obvious crap.

The media were very pro-Smeg at the start. If Catherine had treated Smeg remotely badly we'd have heard about it ad infinitum. Both BP and the media would have made sure of it.

The thing Smeg forgets is that Catherine has been Royal-adjacent since 2004. Various factions in the media and within BP disapproved of her 'modest' family, and they weren't afraid to air those views. There was literally no dirt to be had on Catherine herself, although I suspect they tried bloody hard for years to find something.

Instead they had to get their kicks from going after Carole, Party Pieces, Pippa and Uncle Gary. Really damning stuff like Carole using the word 'toilet' and the Middletons having a tarmac drive. And 'Doors To Manual'. Those dismissive aristo creeps would be fucking glad that someone was fully-trained in setting the doors to manual if they ever needed to evacuate an aircraft.

And then, finally, Catherine messed up a photoshop and all hell broke loose in the most disproportionate media pile-on I think I've ever seen. And some of it didn't even stop when she announced she had cancer. It was literally all they had to rage about, after years of pent-up frustration.

Just as Smeg only has LipglossGate and 'Kate Made Me Cry'. She couldn't even get Scrotie's 'racist' stuff to stick.

Meanwhile Catherine will have seen the bullying report. And one day, when William's King, the relevant staff may be free to tell the tale.

It’s very indicative of just how entitled they both are. What they had to ‘suffer’ inside the royal family boils down to not having equal status with the then Cambridges. They felt slighted because they were lower in the pecking order. They weren’t allowed to muscle their way into places they had no business being, and were resentful that the Cambridges - the actual future King and Queen - got more than they did. They still had a very comfortable lifestyle and were very wealthy by most people’s standards. High status (although not high enough for their taste), free luxury accommodation, elite holidays, getting to rub shoulders with the high flyers - who were all delighted to meet them…but it wasn’t enough, because William had more. And yet it never occurred to them that HMTLQ’s other children were never treated equally with Charles. And now they allegedly feel they should have reparations for that? They can go and scream into the void.

Oh yeah. Hard agree. A close reading of Tom Bower makes it very clear that the whole "we've been bullied, we want privacy" thing was ALWAYS false. They just got their noses out of joint because they placed themselves in direct competition with the Waleses. Everything Harry and Meghan went on to say on Oprah and NF...if you read between the lines and run a comparison with Bower in your head, it's blindingly obvious that the Harkles wanted to go toe-to-toe against the Waleses. That's why they chose to set up a rival court in Montecito. They genuinely thought they could beat the Waleses and end up as THE Royal Couple.

And there's a lot of fucked up psychology behind it I bet. Harry is clearly driven half insane with jealousy for Will - the more successful, happier, more put together older brother. You know, proper Cain & Abel shit. Or John and Richard 1, whatever. The Pope and the anti-Popes of the Middle Ages. Henry VII vs Perkin Warbek. Tons of examples. And Harry's jealous of the relationship Will has with Catherine.

Meghan fancies William and is insane with obsessive jealousy over Catherine.

So rather than accepting that they would never be the prime couple, these two fools decided to set up a rival court. And that also helps explain why they're now so friendless. KC3, with love and respect is not long for this life. The world's A-List celebs, politicians and power brokers know that William and Catherine are THE Royal Family now.

So it's a binary choice - do you give your allegiance to the rival court of pretenders in Montecito? Or the ACTUAL Royal Court?

No-brainer.

I mean honestly this scenario has been played out so many times in so many different countries over millennia. The King, the Pretender, pick your side. There's nothing new about this.

If Harold had actually been humble enough to READ a book of British history at school (rather than taking drugs and bullying disabled women) then he would have known how this would play out for him.

 

[Chita]

I don't think she lies awake at night wishing she had played it differently.
I think she thinks everything she has done is correct and it is other peoole who are the problem.

I think she thinks anything that hasnt gone to plan was somebody elses fault.

 

[Just One More Vegetarian]

I don’t think he just fancied her, I think he loved her and still deep down does love her. Meghan knows and is insanely jealous of Catherine, meanwhile Harry is stuck with the Hooded Claw and is insanely jealous of William and what he has

I completely agree with this!

Hope everyone is good Apologies for not being around much lately, but I do have a good reason

On my last visit to Newcastle I saw a lovely flat to let in a nice area of the city and decided to go for it. Knew I'd done the right thing when I had to fly back to Devon and didn't want to leave! Anyway, I moved in yesterday. Got a million and one things to do, and it feels like a million boxes to unpack, but I am very happy to be here! Going to treat myself now with a bus to the Quayside for a Pepsi max and a people watch

Spoiler: You have my attention

I hope you don’t mind me saying @Pirate queen (use people’s @ handle if you’re going to address them, otherwise it looks like cowardliness) but you sound like a bit of a victim yourself.

I’ll tag you in @Palpatine and @VioletButterfly seeing as you were being addressed. Thank you for the moral support from my fellow old skool M@H contributors, and likewise to everyone who voted for your thread suggestion - and FYI - know your enemy. I see you.

FUCK THIS SHIT!!!! I’m back, and just to make it very clear, when I use the word ‘cunt’ I am not referring to female genitalia, and when I use the word ‘asshole’ or ‘arsehole’ I am not referring to the sphincter. Stop being so literal. Keep your assertions as to how people choose to express themselves to yourself, and if you really don’t like it, report it quietly and stop derailing this thread!

I’ve missed you, you cunts!

Has anyone blamed Ashley Cole yet?

 

[Catzilla]

You mean he's run our of papers to sue for compensation so he's going to try his family? What about the compensation they (the RF) are due for loss of privacy, detailing private areas in public so causing a security risk, revealing private personal information in public. He got paid for that - so thats his compensation.

And that's before we start on the bullying, lies and everything else.

Everyone...please keep reminding yourselves that the Gruesomes are desperate, and frustrated that NO ONE in the RF is responding to them in any way/shape/form. When Narcs are desperate for a response, they will push/poke/prod/pester/harass/stalk via phone calls/emails/texts/sending gifts and using certain media outlets as their PR arms to get ANY sort of reply.

NumbNuts is desperate to salvage his scam role with Invictus, before they give him the push.

Claw is desperate for anything, at this point. She's that pathetic.

So they're churning out these fluff pieces to provoke a response, despite knowing they're shit out of luck.

On the flip side, the RF are using the media to send messages to the Gruesomes that there's no way back.

The Gruesomes were not allowed to be anywhere near KC3 and Camilla on their recent US tour.

William has made it clear he wants nothing to do with the Gruesomes. Ever.

Catherine doesn't want any of their toxicity near her as she's focusing on post-cancer recovery. Smart move.

Peter and Harriet don't want them anywhere near their wedding.

And we all know how Sophie feels about them. Her death stares are awesome.

There was talk about possibly putting NumbNuts somewhere if he were to divorce and return to Europe, but after seeing the mess Andrew's been creating with his 'exile,' including the 'staged' stalker incident, the RF doesn't want a repeat with NumbNuts. If he leaves Claw, he'll have to go somewhere other than the UK.

And it's true... KC3 can't get involved in any way with NumbNuts now in light of all the possible nefarious financial actions with Invictus, Sentebale, and the horrible actions within African Parks. The RF needs to keep its distance and keep the door back permanently closed.

And remove the pricks from the website, damn it.

If there is any truth to the story from Closer, What planet does Harold live on?

What repararations are due to him or his wife? They are/were 2 grown adults whose family gave them a massive wedding, a house to live in and with the Royal family a lifetime job and guaranteed source of income. In exchange H & M were meant to abide by and live within the rules of the RF, especially those relating to commercial enterprises and merchandising.

H & M chose to ignore the rules of the RF, and to try and besmirch and tell lies about the RF, so they left. And then continued to try to spread stories to embarrass the RF with things like the Oprah interview. The pair left as adults with loads of family money and the chance to do whatever they wanted to do.

In the meantime, with the whole disaster stories around the ex Prince Andrew and his......interesting and sordid past, the RF have had to become even more whiter than white.

So even if the King had the slightest interest in supporting Harold, (and Im not sure he does) His hands are tied as to what he can do and say to support Harold. He cant afford to do anything else to bring the RF into disrepute after Andrew. Even if he wanted to, He cant afford to give H any informal support, or connections.

If Harold had cared a jot about his father, he would have made a conscious effort to keep to the rules to visit and to bring his children on family visits, the fact he didnt, until now, speaks volumes..... Idiotic man

I was about to write something similar. What a brat he is. He was given nearly everything that he wanted except the official half in and out. I felt annoyed reading that his father has apparently given him 'carte blanche to do royal style tours' and hope that isn't true.
Apparently the RF didn't do enough to help him when they were first married although they gave them a house to start with! Nobody has ever given me a free house.

If he'd kept his mouth shut and visited his dad every year like a dutiful son bringing the flatpacks to see their grandfather, Charles would likely be sticking his hand in his wallet to help them out on a regular basis.

Harry has still learned nothing. I hope they end up bankrupt.
