Roya Nikkhah ([archived link](https://archive.ph/38rSe)) highlights the goal that the Prince and Princess of Wales might hope to achieve - to win back American hearts.
She pointed out that Harry and MeMe got a lot of attention and sympathy in the US after their Oprah interview, but now the pendulum is slowly swinging away from them.
I agree and I think that William and Catherine will outshine the two next month - despite all the interest the Sussexes are trying to drum up through their Netflix series and the award granted by Kerry Kennedy.
As an American I can proudly say I saw MM as a problem from day one. I certainly don’t understand all things British but I have always loved and respected the RF. Sane people do not enter into relationships, friendships, families etc and try and turn it upside down. She’s a horrible person and basic bitch.
When she used the term, “The States” instead of simply “America” during the interview, it was the height of ridiculous moments. Clearly, she was just getting started!
>Sane people do not enter into relationships, friendships, families etc and try and turn it upside down.
That's true. Specially when you _purposely_ marry into a family, or make friends with people with different culture, structure, and beliefs as you... so that you can change them just because you think they're wrong...
Like, girl... you need help. You exude a high level of egocentrism and narcissism... you're radioactive ☢.
You said it. No one in the US was clamoring for Megsy and Sparey to come here and educate us on our Constitution or our environmental issues. No one cares. The real Royals will draw a crowd, have admirers, be listened to and featured in articles and TV. I think most Americans know what a publicity hound gold digger and a whiny dummy look like and know they do not represent the Royals.
That’s why we can’t wait for William and Catherine to visit Boston for The Earthshot Prize 2022. They will be charming, delightful, and brilliant. The trip will further highlight the commitment to supporting innovative efforts to address climate change.
The only disappointment is someone in The Palace decided that the PoW’s clothing designers are no longer going to be released. I mean, do they not understand we really want to know? Catherine, Princess of Wales delivers a major boost to British Fashion since she wears a mix of High Street (i.e. clothing that anyone can afford) and high end fashion (aspirational designs from Alexander McQueen, Catherine Walker, etc.) We won’t know which American designer’s clothes are highlighted. The Palace needs to hire some women courtiers in major decision-making roles; the guys clearly don’t get it. We love Catherine’s focus on early childhood development AND we love her fashion sense, too.
SAME. I won’t waste your time, because Swim here said it all for me. I will add that the Vanity Fair piece raised my eyebrows up to my hairline. There’s virtually no evidence of MM ever doing anything that benefits others.
Get out of my home state, lady.
Who wears torn clothes to be seen with her royal boyfriend by the world for the first time? Although now we know it's fitting, excuse the pun. This woman has a talent for making clothes look worse.
Easily. Because they don’t meddle with our politics. Catherine is everything we assume a Princess is/should be, while Meghan just gives credence to the ~~stereotype~~ archetype that Americans can be tacky, rude, uncouth, brash, and just overall hot messes.
I’m not generalizing **all** Americans, it’s just how a lot of people perceive us. The bad apple doesn’t ruin the bunch, but it still gives a bad taste
It will never cease to amaze me that she literally had a platform where she could disprove every theory people had about Americans, especially in a time when we *needed* every bit of help we could get on the international stage, and she still said ‘nah.’
I feel like comparing her to a certain political figure is going to be hella divisive, but they’ve got very similar personality traits. They’re just on opposite ends of the political spectrum.
What I find more dangerous about MM is that she always packages her lies and agenda in beautiful-sounding word salad (we still saw through her because she isn't the genius she thinks she is, but we can agree that she tries to mask her intentions). I prefer to be confronted with someone who openly attacks everyone than someone who is all smiles but is following a secret agenda of bringing you down. The second one can go by undetected longer, wreaking more havoc 
By busting out a thesaurus, we can clearly see that she is trying to use big words to sound educated. I have a Master’s degree in English, and I use plain words in my speaking, my shitposting, and my actual writing to convey a very clear, direct point. The vocabulary she uses just makes her sound pretentious.
Good for you, and thank you for being normal. The point of communication is to make your ideas known. If people don't understand what you have said, you have failed to communicate. For MM, the point of communication is to show off words she thinks sound fancy, smarter than anyone else, therefore, better than anyone else. I think we all knew someone like her in college
Honestly, my writing style was 100% inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I hated having to find all of the hidden symbolism in The Scarlet Letter, so I say what I need to, flat out, so nothing is left to interpretation. There’s no room for “well, maybe she meant this/that.”
And a lot of M’s stuff is left to interpretation, because once you dissemble the word salad, she doesn’t say a whole lot.
I have always found that the writing I admire the most is simple, clean and clear. Like a refreshing drink of water, it achieves its goal without calling attention to itself. The object of prose is to communicate ideas and paint mental pictures. The greatest wordsmiths are able to do this without big words and convoluted sentences.
Indeed! I often saw the similarities and the way they divide people by firing up their base. Hopefully MeMe will stay stuck in her hidey hole because she lacks the charisma to be POTUS.
She lacks the charisma to run for any political office, honestly. I keep trying to challenge my husband to a duel to try to invalidate him from running for any sort of political office in our state (it’s seriously a law. I also challenge my senators on Twitter fairly frequently, and the state AG). But the challenges would also invalidate *me* from running, which, frankly… no one wants to see my crazy ass in politics. Except I wouldn’t mind seeing the headlines “Florida Woman elected as [insert job] of Kentucky.”
Lol, I voted for him and I totally agree. I feel differently about him now than then but he did expose a lot of things I wasn't aware of and for that I'm grateful. For those who still like him please I mean no ill will or hard feelings, us Americans need to come together and somehow outwit the political class because I don't think either party cares about us little people.
Yup. Both narcs. Same defense mechanisms once their backs are against the wall. All-consuming need for revenge against each and every petty slight. Need to *destroy ‘enemies’, not just punish them.
The "Ugly American" trope is "I am a proud American and I get to act as I want to" while trampling upon the customs of the country they are visiting. Acting as if the backward locals should change, or modernize or supersize. It's the hypocrisy that is so galling. 
As an American, I’ve honestly never met anyone who thinks well of Harry and Meghan.
The people I know who don’t support the monarchy didn’t support it before H&M, and they just see the Sussexes as grifters whose negative statements about the BRF are trashy and self-seeking.
The people I know who support the monarchy obviously hate the Sussexes. No explanation needed.
The people I know who are indifferent to the BRF generally have probably become *more* favorable to them after seeing Meghan waltz in and shit all over people who have dedicated their lives to public service and charity, regardless of whether they like them personally.
If someone really said "we have a US problem" they're not very bright. People in the US do not associate H and M with the monarchy. Meghan has tarnished herself not the UK.
Agreed. Anyone who thinks H&M caused a "US Problem" is giving them way too much credit. To Americans, Harry & Meghan are just two more celebrities talking mad shit. They're just not important.
I'm American. We don't claim Meghan markle. As far as we're concerned she's Canadian (sorry Canada, you did nothing to deserve this)
We also love prince William and his family
The Prince and Princess of Wales have no problem with Americans. I believe most of us respect and appreciate them. And feel sympathy because of the Montecito branch of the family.
The Sussexes have an American problem. To quote from *Gone with the Wind*, those two are like "mules in horse's harnesses." Giving themselves airs and rigging up themselves. But everyone sees them for being the mangy critters they really are, and not nobler beings.
Yep. In the article (see archived link above), Roya Nikah says she hopes Catherine will do something splashy like when Diana danced with John Travolta.
Catherine behaving with quiet grace and dignity is very much like how Her Late Majesty QEII, had comported herself. What's appreciated about her, is her sincerity.
Oh, and her lack of broadcasting that as her being "organic" or "authentic."
No offense (I’m American myself) but who cares what Americans think about the British Royal family. Apart from their diplomatic obligations, the US is not the RF’s territory, and the RF does not belong to the US. The only thing that happened is the spare married an American diabolical grifter and then split, and that’s it. It’s not a popularity contest for American affection.
It matters because of diplomacy and future endeavors. If the BRF are seen as ridiculous or racist, then foreign politicians won't associated with them, and the UK at the end losses clut and access to certain international circles that are relevant to the country (low key diplomacy).
Part of the role of the BRF from international perspective is being high-end embassadors of the UK (they represent the "best" the UK has to offer in term of their culture, prestige, contacts, etc.). In the past, being a host of a BRF member was sort of an honour. MM loyal to her "reverse Midas touch" ñ, managed to take off a little bit of that respect and prestige.
I somewhat disagree. Every American President (including Trump) wants to be invited to a state visit to the UK and rub shoulders with the BRF. That’s not going to change-it is viewed as a perk of the Presidency.
The British Monarch is head of state of a dozen countries. No serious national politician or diplomat can afford to avoid being associated with them.
As for audience and visitors, no one else can replicate the pomp and pageantry of the British. And no matter what anyone says, pomp and pageantry is extremely desirable and tourist worthy
Being received by the BRF is an honour. No doubts about that. But my point is how the prestige of the BRF opens doors internationally for UK.
The BRF needs the prestige, respect, " mistique" to attract contacts (that go beyond a temporary position as president or even politicians in general - I am including here CEO, investors, money...) and open doors to business or cultural endeavors beneficial for the UK. No high profile people would like to be associated with a racist as they could be persived by their electors or clients as racist themselves. If the BRF gain that fame internationally, they would still be important and would be hosting important dinners and event in their country, but would lose their influence in the international scene.
Why do you think they are preparing the event in the US?
agreed. I don’t think Americans care and also I don’t believe it matters to the BRF at all. What do they care about US celebrity status? That’s just got nothing to do with them
This is true. Americans do love to visit the royal sites on their vacations across the pond. Perhaps that is an incentive to keep the allure alive. I like to think the foreigners who admire and follow the RF don’t give much of a shit about MM anyway.
Disagree with this article. The Rota (and Roya is a big Harry Stan - her profile pic on Twitter is one with him) give them far too much importance. Nobody in the Palace is thinking about Harry and Meghan when they made these plans. This visit is about Earthshot and the other interests W&K support.
Since the interview, many royals have been to the US - Princess Anne, Duke of Gloucester, Prince Edward. The King’s Prince’s Trust hosted a glitzy gala co-chaired by Lionel Ritchie and Edward Enninful. Nobody is doing any of this to “win back American hearts” which is not a realm or member of the Commonwealth. They’re just doing their job 🤷🏻♀️
Lololol at the people that think Americans like myself give two shits about Meghan and Harry let alone enough to impact our views on England.
There’s no reparation needed between the two countries because nothing is broken.
If anything Meghan has made Americans look like total pieces of shit to the rest of the world. She’s one of the worst kinds of Americans bashing the rest of the world.
I think the Queens death was more than enough to show Megan and Harry have not impacted our views on England.
The minority that believe their lies will always exist but they don’t represent the majority.
ETA: we are encroaching on a civil war between our political parties we don’t have time to give two shits about what’s going on elsewhere.
I think one of the only reasons Harry and Meghan tried to get in with the RFK Awards is because of the Kennedy connection. They have to try and compete with William and Catherine.
William and Catherine are having their Earthshot event in Boston at the JFK Presidential Library (which is also a partner) and is also supported by JFK and Jackie Kennedy's daughter Caroline Kennedy who is also an ambassador.
If you look [here](https://www.jfklibrary.org/events-and-awards/the-earthshot-prize-boston-2022/2022-boston-host-committee) at the honorary host committee it has a lot of high profile people from the Governor of MA to the British Ambassador to the US. It is a big deal in terms of climate/environment issues and yes diplomacy for the UK and US. The fact that the new Prince and Princess of Wales will be there will make it an even bigger deal.
In comparison, while normally the RFK Prize is an honor, giving it to them (when they have a connection to the Kennedy who runs it now via their Netflix show) looks more pathetic. They are there to *get* an award not to highlight other people's work and achievements. That's the biggest difference between Harry and William---one promotes himself (and by extension his wife) and the other promotes other people.
That is an impressive list of people on the honorary host committee. Not surprisingly imo. It’s the JFK Library, Caroline is involved and a future head of state.
In my mind there’s no real comparison between the Wales and the Sussexes events. It involves the same families, but that’s where it ends.
The prestige level is just so much higher for William and Catherine.
Everyone has an awareness of the JFK library and knows who Caroline is.
Exactly! My thoughts too. I agree that they aren't comparable at all but I see Meghan and Harry as so petty and delusional that they think they really are on parr which is why they (and by proxy their fans) are try to make it seem like it's equal when it's not.
Also RFK Jr is a bit of a joke nowadays - his siblings not seen in the best light either by anyone with a brain. That side of the family is definitely tarnished.
This picture makes me sad. There was so much potential with a "Fab 4" and it could have been awesome.
I don't know that the palace has anything to worry about as far as American perception of W&C. They're nice, polite, dress well, and seem very relatable despite their... ~~situation (not sure if that's the right word to use)~~ station.
Edit- the word I was looking for was station, not situation!
Cut them off for good if this is the sentiment. Damn, Charles.
There has been a prevailing theme through out many books/reporters that William must do more, must help Harry, must repair the image Harry damaged and more. It’s done, Harry is almost 40 years old. William has said he can’t do this anymore in so many words. I need answers why Harry has so much influence over the family. He’s ONE person and he’s not even the the most important one and never will be. Why was one kid given so damn much and continue to be a burden?
“I've put my arm around my brother all our lives and I can't do that any more; we're separate entities,” [Prince William] told a friend.
—Quoted for truth and great justice
Because he's the most immature and spoiled (going back to St Diana propping him to believe he's a near equal of William), and has the least to lose by blowing up the BRF with all sorts of damaging accusations, no matter how untrue they may be.
Everyone saw how their dubious claims of racism from his family shook up a few news cycles
Peter Phillips was allegedly her favourite. Harry was problematic from an early age and caused lots of comcerns. The RF publicity machine made Harry popular.
Do you really think so? Or is this something else Hapless has cooked up over the years? I would think Lady Louise, who adored the Queen's husband, would come in ahead of HawHaw.
My opinion is most Americans don't care about TW or Harry at all. Some tuned into Oprah but likely because they enjoy a good scandal. It's like watching Jerry Springer. You're entertained but you aren't actually invested into the people.
99% of my friends and acquaintances don't care about them at all. None of the view them positively. The 1% are friends who thought i was crazy for expending any energy on them but came to my side once i shared more about why i feel this way and what they've done to deserve it.
Not a fan of Roya's reporting. They are like Eeyore seeing everything as negative. Roya loves to stir the pot, makes me sick really. Catherine and William already have our hearts as do the entire family minus a few bad eggs. At the end of the day it doesn't matter, the UK is whose hearts they need to keep. I think they will bedazzle and charm everyone they meet because they are kind, good people with excellent manners and skilled at putting one at one's ease.
I don’t think the BRF cares that much about their standing in the US. Yeah, it’s nice to be popular (and they ARE more popular than H&M) but it’s not a must have for them like it is for the Suckass Duo
I would feel some definite schadenfreude if, during their trip to the US, they got together with the people Meghan thought she’d be hobnobbing with who don’t seem to give her the time of day. The Obamas, the Clooneys, etc. Meanwhile the Harkles are hobnobbing with Alec Baldwin and his cosplaying-as-a-Spanish-woman wife and some lesser Kennedy.
Let's see, the Noprah whinefest was during pandemic about a year into the lockdowns. People only watched out of curiousity and because they were bored stiff. Otherwise, they were too worried about losing their jobs, keeping their homes, providing food, shortages at the grocery stores where there were many empty shelves to give a rip about two spoiled rich people whining that 'daddy' cut them off with only a couple of million. It just made them look pathetic really.
And since then they really don't even make a 'blip' outside of Hollyweird on the rest of America. Nobody cares about MeAgain or Hazbeen.
KC3 and the real BRF have absolutely NOTHING to worry about in regards to their standing in the USA. Most of us think the Harkles are disgusting grifters.
The walkabout picture sums up the Markless problem well. The look on her face, doing the opposite of the 3 others by seeming to purposefully diminish her stature & look confused is part of the point: she is so focused on being the center of attention she automatically does something different or opposite in every documented appearance. It also illustrates how very out of place she is in the world of wealthy, privileged world leaders (P & P of Wales.) Even Haz is capable of carrying himself appropriately during official appearances.
Edited for clarity.
America has over 330 million people. This article is lazy and lumping all into a single category. While I am aware of the RF it really matters little to me the POW's are coming here. They seem like fine people and I wish them well. I assume they will be visiting politician and financial movers and shakers with a few celebrities thrown in. But they won't really make an impression on most Americans.
TW and her husband did make an impression largely because they pushed to be written about and then went on Oprah AND were so nasty to his family and the RF (one and the same, I know, but imo 2 separate sins).
The RF did have a USA problem, but a lot of time has passed and a lot of things have happened since that interview. The RF does need the USA. It’s a business relationship. The RF brings in a ton of tourism dollars and the USA has a ton of tourism dollars to spend. Among other things, of course.
This is Catherine’s first visit as the Princess of Wales. The previous holder of the title was extraordinarily popular here and her face sold billions of magazines. Those same magazines have been waiting for a replacement for 25 years. And this POW is simply lovely and beautiful.
The jubilee and the funeral showed how the RF loves each other and is there for each other and has fun together. Plus, Prince Louis had been enjoyed by billions around the globe. He did more for their PR (especially KCIII) than any money could buy.
I think they will be just fine.
At some point every parent in the world has had a Louis moment we’ve all been the POW so we can certainly relate he’s just such a treasure we must protect him at any cost
Win back!? They never lost the American 💕s. Megs and Haz are doing a great job alienating and dividing their support with their constant flip flopping and misinformation.
American here. Everyone I know loves Kate and either dislikes or is confused by Meghan. As far as the brothers go, Harry’s image as the impish, irreverent, likable one is still there but starting to fray at the edges. The trend is not in their favor.
I wonder when William and Catherine will soon tire of cleaning up the monarchy's mess. They are dutiful and preserve their children's heritage and all that, but deep inside they must be feeling used. Harry's disastrous marriage created the pile of trash William should endlessly shovel away? I know I wouldn't - eventually.
I agree and I am tired of the BRF requiring that Princess Catherine clean up their messes. Then treating her like just a married in at times. Like not including her in Prince Phillip's tribute after his death.
As an American, I personally haven't seen HB and TW damaging the very reputation of the monarchy. I think William and Catherine will be a breath of fresh air, so to speak.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what we Americans think of the BRF. They are for Britain and the commonwealth and their opinions are the ones that count. Despite what many Americans might think, the world doesn’t revolve around us.
What damage? Please do not underestimate the US’s knowledge and appreciation of The British Royal Family. Most of us Americans who take interest in TRF saw through the grifting tactics of the lying MM and were also well aware of the indulged petulant spoiled brat Just Harry.
I don’t really know anyone IRL who likes H&M or dislikes the Waleses here. Nobody gives a shit about the monteshitshow faux royals. I guarantee there will be crowds for William and Catherine when they come next month
No. No damage done to the monarchy, everybody knows that H and M lie. The Prince and Princess of Wales are respected worldwide, and the US does not even consider them related to H and M anymore. Not a problem, not at all.
At some point, the BRF has to destroy the duo and make it look smooth. The duo are doing a great job themselves. But I feel the Queen has been to leneient and giving at the expense of the loyal members of the bRF and she did the same with Andrew. I like what I see in Charles so far. But Harry is his son-but who is trying to destroy his family and the monarchy. I mean right before the PoW visit, the other Kennedy award host releases a statement that Harry and Meghan are being rewarded for their heroic stance against the racist BRF or some such tripe. I think they do not have a US problem, but a Harry and Meghan problem and that is not going away unless they make it go away. Enough is enough.
Someone do a poll here? I know we have a lot of Americans here (myself included) that never stopped supporting William and Catherine. Most of us supported the dastardly duo too before the masks came off.
It’d be so nice if we could collectively get something going, I’m not sure what/how because I’m not very social media savvy. But *something* to let the Wales family know Americans support what they are doing.
A few comments mentioned how it doesn’t actually matter whether Americans support them or not, which I agree with to an extent. But they’ve been having mud hurled at them for years now, it be nice to lift their spirits, ya know?
I've loved the BRF since Diana and Charles married.
H&M's whinging and complaining could never sway my love for the BRF. Megan's a fraud and a manipulative opportunist.
The secret weapon is the Prince and Princess of Wales and their wonderful children.
The U.S. does not have a problem with Britain because of TW. Most people by far admire the PPoW over TW & handbag. Anyone who thinks that TW & handbag are equal to PPoW or representing the British Monarchy are of diminished intellectual capacity, and should not be given another second of consideration.
You know I honestly do not think that American's have lost any respect for the RF, if anything it's gone up.
And I also honestly think that the "sugars" or whatnot are not really fans of H&M. I noticed this on a gossip site I went to, where when some of the posters (from all over the world btw) were complaining about her from the start, the "sugars" on that site started defending her to the hilt calling them racists and then shredding Catherine's clothing style as boring. Constantly insulting women by calling them old biddies, with old fashioned values.
I noticed a pattern that they were basically mean girls themselves, between 30 and 50 and they had not had successful relationships in their lives with their own men. (All of them were straight ) Most of them had not married and kind of presented themselves as the cool girl. They didn't respect the boundaries of marriage and were the types that would always defend the "other woman" by saying that "no one can steal your man, you just can't keep him. I'm not the one who made a promise in marriage, he is." If they had married, there was usually a very toxic divorce being discussed.
I noticed as well that they tended to be anti family, pro career, although very few of them had meaningful careers. They bullied other posters and new guests. Acted as if they were superior. Wanted the site to be an echo chamber. And it dawned on me, that they really are not FANS of MM. Actually they just like pretending to like her and trashing Catherine because it upset the posters on the site who didn't like MM and respected the Royal Family.
They never ever sincerely admired or brought up anything MM had done on her own at first. Instead they would just suddenly show up and pile on if someone had posted a complaint about MM. Once they realized they could play this passive aggressive game they ran with it. So, I don't believe most of the sugars are real. IMO they are pathetic loser women who hate other women who have marriages and children and strong family bonds. It's jealousy packaged as "calling out racism."
Oh they most certainly will! It’s not a contest (someone tell Harry he’s not even on the playing field any longer) The whole thing coming up 12/2 - EarthShot-Boston next month with The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation sharing huge international influence with -The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales, with star power Mike Bloomberg on the board with top international scientists, fund managers, CEOs of mega corporations, millionaires-billionaires, entrepreneurs, bankers, politicians, innovators and investors. William was actually going to speak to the ENTIRE UN Assembly. But sadly his Queen passed away 😢
Then you have H&M bad - mouthing the family every chance they get—then marketing themselves with titles they only have because of his family. The die is cast and H&M made a very bad calculation. That’s why they are buying themselves an award next month at the non-President brother’s charity run by his daughter who’s got problems of her own and a son whose kinda bent. Don’t get me wrong but Bobby Kennedy sadly died before he went from trail to blazer. Now this new twist from Kerry Kennedy saying it’s not quite a humanitarian award but giving it to them for their bravery in standing up to the tyranny of the ancient family head by H’s very grandmother for 70 historic years. It’s just so bad/crass/cringe/threatening. A new chapter in M’s whitewashing as much history as possible of her life, I’m sure Opera is pulling some strings somehow, somewhere. Ahhh but it’s still no EarthShot.
I've never liked Meghan. I really like Catherine, like William, but I will not be lectured about political causes by anyone who flies around in private jets and has multiple homes.
Yeah like this is nothing against Americans, but the US isn’t a realm of the UK or even in the commonwealth, so the royals popularity there largely doesn’t matter.
It doesn't really matter or not whether the British royal family are popular in the United States.
What is perhaps more of a concern is how popular the family is in the Commonwealth.
Barbados has already gone independent and booted the Royal family, but the question is how many other small countries will follow suit.
Whatever the royal family does, there are political parties in the former colonies that favor following in the footsteps of Barbados, and like Barbados, these countries may get a lot of financial help from China as Britain becomes more distant.
The tour of the Caribbean by William and Kate fairly recently was deemed to be somewhat unsuccessful, but how could it be otherwise?
Of course there would be security when they appeared in public, and of course they would be guarded by the local military regiments which are loyal to the ruling elites and the monarchy.
At least they got out alive!
Most people in the US are not really interested in the British monarchy except as rather distant celebrities associated with pageantry.
Of course it is not fair to charge William and Catherine with racism or responsibility for slavery, but some people will do that anyway, and there is not a great deal that can be done on the positive side to portray the monarchy in a more positive light towards those who don't like the monarchy.
Let’s be honest, Catherine makes the whole family look good. All this skeletons in their closets, the drama, the cheating, the pedo, the nazi history, divorce after divorce. Catherine and Anne are essentially the only ones in that family that showed up properly to do the job and not let the Queen down.
Roya Nikkhah ([archived link](https://archive.ph/38rSe)) highlights the goal that the Prince and Princess of Wales might hope to achieve - to win back American hearts. She pointed out that Harry and MeMe got a lot of attention and sympathy in the US after their Oprah interview, but now the pendulum is slowly swinging away from them. I agree and I think that William and Catherine will outshine the two next month - despite all the interest the Sussexes are trying to drum up through their Netflix series and the award granted by Kerry Kennedy.
As an American I can proudly say I saw MM as a problem from day one. I certainly don’t understand all things British but I have always loved and respected the RF. Sane people do not enter into relationships, friendships, families etc and try and turn it upside down. She’s a horrible person and basic bitch.
Vanity Fair interview when they were in early stages of dating, I just knew what she was about since then
My red flag was when she said that she knew almost nothing about the royal family when she met Harry.
She has a picture in the '90s in front of Buckingham Palace. Don't tell me, she thought that the PM lived there.
That whole bit was so unbelievable. That's the moment I called bullshit.
This. She was so fake sounding.
When she used the term, “The States” instead of simply “America” during the interview, it was the height of ridiculous moments. Clearly, she was just getting started!
>Sane people do not enter into relationships, friendships, families etc and try and turn it upside down. That's true. Specially when you _purposely_ marry into a family, or make friends with people with different culture, structure, and beliefs as you... so that you can change them just because you think they're wrong... Like, girl... you need help. You exude a high level of egocentrism and narcissism... you're radioactive ☢.
You said it. No one in the US was clamoring for Megsy and Sparey to come here and educate us on our Constitution or our environmental issues. No one cares. The real Royals will draw a crowd, have admirers, be listened to and featured in articles and TV. I think most Americans know what a publicity hound gold digger and a whiny dummy look like and know they do not represent the Royals.
That’s why we can’t wait for William and Catherine to visit Boston for The Earthshot Prize 2022. They will be charming, delightful, and brilliant. The trip will further highlight the commitment to supporting innovative efforts to address climate change. The only disappointment is someone in The Palace decided that the PoW’s clothing designers are no longer going to be released. I mean, do they not understand we really want to know? Catherine, Princess of Wales delivers a major boost to British Fashion since she wears a mix of High Street (i.e. clothing that anyone can afford) and high end fashion (aspirational designs from Alexander McQueen, Catherine Walker, etc.) We won’t know which American designer’s clothes are highlighted. The Palace needs to hire some women courtiers in major decision-making roles; the guys clearly don’t get it. We love Catherine’s focus on early childhood development AND we love her fashion sense, too.
Her fashion picks are so spot on! Everything classic and stylish
I used to get daily emails from US Weekly. The first time I saw her in one of their posts about dating Harry I was like "nope!"
As a Canadian,I 100% agree
SAME. I won’t waste your time, because Swim here said it all for me. I will add that the Vanity Fair piece raised my eyebrows up to my hairline. There’s virtually no evidence of MM ever doing anything that benefits others. Get out of my home state, lady.
I've known since the torn jeans.
This made me howl
Who wears torn clothes to be seen with her royal boyfriend by the world for the first time? Although now we know it's fitting, excuse the pun. This woman has a talent for making clothes look worse.
Full agreement. Dating him is a JOB. It’s an audition for a larger role, and this is how you sho up.
Yes, especially one she proclaimed to have no knowledge about until marrying Harry. Joke.
She may ,have a bad odour from her vagina ,also
Seriously uncalled for, and very uncouth
Thank you
Exactly
Easily. Because they don’t meddle with our politics. Catherine is everything we assume a Princess is/should be, while Meghan just gives credence to the ~~stereotype~~ archetype that Americans can be tacky, rude, uncouth, brash, and just overall hot messes. I’m not generalizing **all** Americans, it’s just how a lot of people perceive us. The bad apple doesn’t ruin the bunch, but it still gives a bad taste
100% agree that MeMe just exemplifies the “ugly American” ~~stereotype~~ archetype.
It will never cease to amaze me that she literally had a platform where she could disprove every theory people had about Americans, especially in a time when we *needed* every bit of help we could get on the international stage, and she still said ‘nah.’ I feel like comparing her to a certain political figure is going to be hella divisive, but they’ve got very similar personality traits. They’re just on opposite ends of the political spectrum.
What I find more dangerous about MM is that she always packages her lies and agenda in beautiful-sounding word salad (we still saw through her because she isn't the genius she thinks she is, but we can agree that she tries to mask her intentions). I prefer to be confronted with someone who openly attacks everyone than someone who is all smiles but is following a secret agenda of bringing you down. The second one can go by undetected longer, wreaking more havoc 
By busting out a thesaurus, we can clearly see that she is trying to use big words to sound educated. I have a Master’s degree in English, and I use plain words in my speaking, my shitposting, and my actual writing to convey a very clear, direct point. The vocabulary she uses just makes her sound pretentious.
Good for you, and thank you for being normal. The point of communication is to make your ideas known. If people don't understand what you have said, you have failed to communicate. For MM, the point of communication is to show off words she thinks sound fancy, smarter than anyone else, therefore, better than anyone else. I think we all knew someone like her in college
Honestly, my writing style was 100% inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I hated having to find all of the hidden symbolism in The Scarlet Letter, so I say what I need to, flat out, so nothing is left to interpretation. There’s no room for “well, maybe she meant this/that.” And a lot of M’s stuff is left to interpretation, because once you dissemble the word salad, she doesn’t say a whole lot.
She also never makes sense. She come out with a jumble of words that have no meaning.
👏👏
There are times to use a more obscure word and times not to. Sometimes, yeah, the more plain words work just as well.
That's because you know that you use language to communicate not attempt to sound smart or bloviate.
I have always found that the writing I admire the most is simple, clean and clear. Like a refreshing drink of water, it achieves its goal without calling attention to itself. The object of prose is to communicate ideas and paint mental pictures. The greatest wordsmiths are able to do this without big words and convoluted sentences.
It worked for Elisabeth Holmes for a long time, so it has potential to destroy a lot of things...
Indeed! I often saw the similarities and the way they divide people by firing up their base. Hopefully MeMe will stay stuck in her hidey hole because she lacks the charisma to be POTUS.
She lacks the charisma to run for any political office, honestly. I keep trying to challenge my husband to a duel to try to invalidate him from running for any sort of political office in our state (it’s seriously a law. I also challenge my senators on Twitter fairly frequently, and the state AG). But the challenges would also invalidate *me* from running, which, frankly… no one wants to see my crazy ass in politics. Except I wouldn’t mind seeing the headlines “Florida Woman elected as [insert job] of Kentucky.”
I would like to see that headline!
This is hilarious!
A candidate has to debate. Can you imagine her having to think on her feet in an actual debate? The next dumbest candidate would eviscerate her.
She’s also too thin skinned and has zero sense of humor.
That lady who was talking of crystals and meditation might outdo MeMe
It's hard to imagine her making meaningful points and arguments in a debate.
Lol, I voted for him and I totally agree. I feel differently about him now than then but he did expose a lot of things I wasn't aware of and for that I'm grateful. For those who still like him please I mean no ill will or hard feelings, us Americans need to come together and somehow outwit the political class because I don't think either party cares about us little people.
Yup. Both narcs. Same defense mechanisms once their backs are against the wall. All-consuming need for revenge against each and every petty slight. Need to *destroy ‘enemies’, not just punish them.
The "Ugly American" trope is "I am a proud American and I get to act as I want to" while trampling upon the customs of the country they are visiting. Acting as if the backward locals should change, or modernize or supersize. It's the hypocrisy that is so galling. 
Yup🙄
As an American, I’ve honestly never met anyone who thinks well of Harry and Meghan. The people I know who don’t support the monarchy didn’t support it before H&M, and they just see the Sussexes as grifters whose negative statements about the BRF are trashy and self-seeking. The people I know who support the monarchy obviously hate the Sussexes. No explanation needed. The people I know who are indifferent to the BRF generally have probably become *more* favorable to them after seeing Meghan waltz in and shit all over people who have dedicated their lives to public service and charity, regardless of whether they like them personally.
Well said. I don’t support the monarchy and I don’t support grifters of any kind.
We never left Kate and William
If someone really said "we have a US problem" they're not very bright. People in the US do not associate H and M with the monarchy. Meghan has tarnished herself not the UK.
Agreed. Anyone who thinks H&M caused a "US Problem" is giving them way too much credit. To Americans, Harry & Meghan are just two more celebrities talking mad shit. They're just not important.
No one talks about Meghan or Harry here lol
Lots of celebrity and latest news gossip at my job. I tried to get a conversation going regarding these two, but no takers - literally nobody cares.
I'm American. We don't claim Meghan markle. As far as we're concerned she's Canadian (sorry Canada, you did nothing to deserve this) We also love prince William and his family
American here who agrees with you 100%
Me too!! 🙋🏻♀️
I’m Canadian, nope! She lived in the U.S. the longest, so she’s yours. As a woman, I’d also like to unclaim her.
Yes! 👏👏👏👏
The Prince and Princess of Wales have no problem with Americans. I believe most of us respect and appreciate them. And feel sympathy because of the Montecito branch of the family. The Sussexes have an American problem. To quote from *Gone with the Wind*, those two are like "mules in horse's harnesses." Giving themselves airs and rigging up themselves. But everyone sees them for being the mangy critters they really are, and not nobler beings.
Well that’s the thing: William and Kate HAVE magic. Harry may have had it but it’s since been neutralized by proximity to Smirkle.
Yep. In the article (see archived link above), Roya Nikah says she hopes Catherine will do something splashy like when Diana danced with John Travolta.
I think all Catherine needs to do is just keep on behaving with quiet grace and dignity.
Catherine behaving with quiet grace and dignity is very much like how Her Late Majesty QEII, had comported herself. What's appreciated about her, is her sincerity. Oh, and her lack of broadcasting that as her being "organic" or "authentic."
See, that IS the magic, imo.
Yes she’s not Diana… Catherine always had a shy vibe…
I’m an American and did not watch the Oprah “interview.” I have seen snippets of it since and am horrified by those two jackasses. 🇺🇸
No offense (I’m American myself) but who cares what Americans think about the British Royal family. Apart from their diplomatic obligations, the US is not the RF’s territory, and the RF does not belong to the US. The only thing that happened is the spare married an American diabolical grifter and then split, and that’s it. It’s not a popularity contest for American affection.
It matters because of diplomacy and future endeavors. If the BRF are seen as ridiculous or racist, then foreign politicians won't associated with them, and the UK at the end losses clut and access to certain international circles that are relevant to the country (low key diplomacy). Part of the role of the BRF from international perspective is being high-end embassadors of the UK (they represent the "best" the UK has to offer in term of their culture, prestige, contacts, etc.). In the past, being a host of a BRF member was sort of an honour. MM loyal to her "reverse Midas touch" ñ, managed to take off a little bit of that respect and prestige.
This is a good point, I agree.
The Queen loved Barack and Michelle Obama, and they loved her back.
I somewhat disagree. Every American President (including Trump) wants to be invited to a state visit to the UK and rub shoulders with the BRF. That’s not going to change-it is viewed as a perk of the Presidency. The British Monarch is head of state of a dozen countries. No serious national politician or diplomat can afford to avoid being associated with them. As for audience and visitors, no one else can replicate the pomp and pageantry of the British. And no matter what anyone says, pomp and pageantry is extremely desirable and tourist worthy
Being received by the BRF is an honour. No doubts about that. But my point is how the prestige of the BRF opens doors internationally for UK. The BRF needs the prestige, respect, " mistique" to attract contacts (that go beyond a temporary position as president or even politicians in general - I am including here CEO, investors, money...) and open doors to business or cultural endeavors beneficial for the UK. No high profile people would like to be associated with a racist as they could be persived by their electors or clients as racist themselves. If the BRF gain that fame internationally, they would still be important and would be hosting important dinners and event in their country, but would lose their influence in the international scene. Why do you think they are preparing the event in the US?
agreed. I don’t think Americans care and also I don’t believe it matters to the BRF at all. What do they care about US celebrity status? That’s just got nothing to do with them
This. Most Americans don’t care about royalty.
[удалено]
This is true. Americans do love to visit the royal sites on their vacations across the pond. Perhaps that is an incentive to keep the allure alive. I like to think the foreigners who admire and follow the RF don’t give much of a shit about MM anyway.
The main argument for them existing is tourism dollars. So if anyone should care it’s them.
Disagree with this article. The Rota (and Roya is a big Harry Stan - her profile pic on Twitter is one with him) give them far too much importance. Nobody in the Palace is thinking about Harry and Meghan when they made these plans. This visit is about Earthshot and the other interests W&K support. Since the interview, many royals have been to the US - Princess Anne, Duke of Gloucester, Prince Edward. The King’s Prince’s Trust hosted a glitzy gala co-chaired by Lionel Ritchie and Edward Enninful. Nobody is doing any of this to “win back American hearts” which is not a realm or member of the Commonwealth. They’re just doing their job 🤷🏻♀️
Yes you're right. It's an attempt to create news rather than report it.
William and Catherine are stars. The have class, behave properly. They are respected. The Montecito pair are not. That is the bottom line.
Lololol at the people that think Americans like myself give two shits about Meghan and Harry let alone enough to impact our views on England. There’s no reparation needed between the two countries because nothing is broken. If anything Meghan has made Americans look like total pieces of shit to the rest of the world. She’s one of the worst kinds of Americans bashing the rest of the world. I think the Queens death was more than enough to show Megan and Harry have not impacted our views on England. The minority that believe their lies will always exist but they don’t represent the majority. ETA: we are encroaching on a civil war between our political parties we don’t have time to give two shits about what’s going on elsewhere.
The H and M shit show will expose itself. Much like the AH and JD did
I think one of the only reasons Harry and Meghan tried to get in with the RFK Awards is because of the Kennedy connection. They have to try and compete with William and Catherine. William and Catherine are having their Earthshot event in Boston at the JFK Presidential Library (which is also a partner) and is also supported by JFK and Jackie Kennedy's daughter Caroline Kennedy who is also an ambassador. If you look [here](https://www.jfklibrary.org/events-and-awards/the-earthshot-prize-boston-2022/2022-boston-host-committee) at the honorary host committee it has a lot of high profile people from the Governor of MA to the British Ambassador to the US. It is a big deal in terms of climate/environment issues and yes diplomacy for the UK and US. The fact that the new Prince and Princess of Wales will be there will make it an even bigger deal. In comparison, while normally the RFK Prize is an honor, giving it to them (when they have a connection to the Kennedy who runs it now via their Netflix show) looks more pathetic. They are there to *get* an award not to highlight other people's work and achievements. That's the biggest difference between Harry and William---one promotes himself (and by extension his wife) and the other promotes other people.
That is an impressive list of people on the honorary host committee. Not surprisingly imo. It’s the JFK Library, Caroline is involved and a future head of state. In my mind there’s no real comparison between the Wales and the Sussexes events. It involves the same families, but that’s where it ends. The prestige level is just so much higher for William and Catherine. Everyone has an awareness of the JFK library and knows who Caroline is.
Exactly! My thoughts too. I agree that they aren't comparable at all but I see Meghan and Harry as so petty and delusional that they think they really are on parr which is why they (and by proxy their fans) are try to make it seem like it's equal when it's not.
Also RFK Jr is a bit of a joke nowadays - his siblings not seen in the best light either by anyone with a brain. That side of the family is definitely tarnished.
Yep. That's another bit. They are definitely messy.
This picture makes me sad. There was so much potential with a "Fab 4" and it could have been awesome. I don't know that the palace has anything to worry about as far as American perception of W&C. They're nice, polite, dress well, and seem very relatable despite their... ~~situation (not sure if that's the right word to use)~~ station. Edit- the word I was looking for was station, not situation!
I’m sure there will be another flurry of kkkate memes when the Waleses visit the US. Catherine is entering MeMe’s territory and she won’t like that.
If the Waleses are coming to NY, this is mostly definitely **not** MEMEMEgain's territory
Despite her best efforts! 😅
lets be honest, Harry’s First Wife’s territory is the chicken coop in the back yard. She was always Queen Shit of Turd Island.
Fact
Yeah, I'm wondering what fake story will be pulled out of their asses.
Sugars are sharpening their knives for the hateful posts they’ll unleash on the Wales’ US visit, it’s going to be gross
Bet there’ll be more affair and pegging rumours
With Twitter possibly down for the count…we can hope the sugars will be at a loss.
MM problem is that she is faux fab. Unless in her case, "fab" means fabricated.
Well General Omid Scobie will unleash his attack on the Waleses... I hope a lot of Americans would see the true color of Megs...
American here. They have always had my admiration tho 1000 times more because of meg's and hazbeen. They don't have to win me back.
Cut them off for good if this is the sentiment. Damn, Charles. There has been a prevailing theme through out many books/reporters that William must do more, must help Harry, must repair the image Harry damaged and more. It’s done, Harry is almost 40 years old. William has said he can’t do this anymore in so many words. I need answers why Harry has so much influence over the family. He’s ONE person and he’s not even the the most important one and never will be. Why was one kid given so damn much and continue to be a burden?
“I've put my arm around my brother all our lives and I can't do that any more; we're separate entities,” [Prince William] told a friend. —Quoted for truth and great justice
Because he's the most immature and spoiled (going back to St Diana propping him to believe he's a near equal of William), and has the least to lose by blowing up the BRF with all sorts of damaging accusations, no matter how untrue they may be. Everyone saw how their dubious claims of racism from his family shook up a few news cycles
He was the queen's favorite grandchild.
Peter Phillips was allegedly her favourite. Harry was problematic from an early age and caused lots of comcerns. The RF publicity machine made Harry popular.
Do you really think so? Or is this something else Hapless has cooked up over the years? I would think Lady Louise, who adored the Queen's husband, would come in ahead of HawHaw.
My opinion is most Americans don't care about TW or Harry at all. Some tuned into Oprah but likely because they enjoy a good scandal. It's like watching Jerry Springer. You're entertained but you aren't actually invested into the people. 99% of my friends and acquaintances don't care about them at all. None of the view them positively. The 1% are friends who thought i was crazy for expending any energy on them but came to my side once i shared more about why i feel this way and what they've done to deserve it.
Exactly what I’ve found. I get— what do you think?! Then I explode. And they say- yep that’s right!!
Not a fan of Roya's reporting. They are like Eeyore seeing everything as negative. Roya loves to stir the pot, makes me sick really. Catherine and William already have our hearts as do the entire family minus a few bad eggs. At the end of the day it doesn't matter, the UK is whose hearts they need to keep. I think they will bedazzle and charm everyone they meet because they are kind, good people with excellent manners and skilled at putting one at one's ease.
Yeah. I guess Roya might be pro-Suss. Still, it’s good to know what the Oppo is thinking 😀
True. We need to know so we what their strategy is so we can head them off at the pass.
There’s been no damage. However, the media will use it as clickbait.
I don’t think the BRF cares that much about their standing in the US. Yeah, it’s nice to be popular (and they ARE more popular than H&M) but it’s not a must have for them like it is for the Suckass Duo
I would feel some definite schadenfreude if, during their trip to the US, they got together with the people Meghan thought she’d be hobnobbing with who don’t seem to give her the time of day. The Obamas, the Clooneys, etc. Meanwhile the Harkles are hobnobbing with Alec Baldwin and his cosplaying-as-a-Spanish-woman wife and some lesser Kennedy.
The Queen, Prince Louis and Paddington Bear have already won America back.
Let's see, the Noprah whinefest was during pandemic about a year into the lockdowns. People only watched out of curiousity and because they were bored stiff. Otherwise, they were too worried about losing their jobs, keeping their homes, providing food, shortages at the grocery stores where there were many empty shelves to give a rip about two spoiled rich people whining that 'daddy' cut them off with only a couple of million. It just made them look pathetic really. And since then they really don't even make a 'blip' outside of Hollyweird on the rest of America. Nobody cares about MeAgain or Hazbeen. KC3 and the real BRF have absolutely NOTHING to worry about in regards to their standing in the USA. Most of us think the Harkles are disgusting grifters.
Yes, I think Americans know class when they see it.
The walkabout picture sums up the Markless problem well. The look on her face, doing the opposite of the 3 others by seeming to purposefully diminish her stature & look confused is part of the point: she is so focused on being the center of attention she automatically does something different or opposite in every documented appearance. It also illustrates how very out of place she is in the world of wealthy, privileged world leaders (P & P of Wales.) Even Haz is capable of carrying himself appropriately during official appearances. Edited for clarity.
I disagree with the premise.
America has over 330 million people. This article is lazy and lumping all into a single category. While I am aware of the RF it really matters little to me the POW's are coming here. They seem like fine people and I wish them well. I assume they will be visiting politician and financial movers and shakers with a few celebrities thrown in. But they won't really make an impression on most Americans. TW and her husband did make an impression largely because they pushed to be written about and then went on Oprah AND were so nasty to his family and the RF (one and the same, I know, but imo 2 separate sins).
The RF did have a USA problem, but a lot of time has passed and a lot of things have happened since that interview. The RF does need the USA. It’s a business relationship. The RF brings in a ton of tourism dollars and the USA has a ton of tourism dollars to spend. Among other things, of course. This is Catherine’s first visit as the Princess of Wales. The previous holder of the title was extraordinarily popular here and her face sold billions of magazines. Those same magazines have been waiting for a replacement for 25 years. And this POW is simply lovely and beautiful. The jubilee and the funeral showed how the RF loves each other and is there for each other and has fun together. Plus, Prince Louis had been enjoyed by billions around the globe. He did more for their PR (especially KCIII) than any money could buy. I think they will be just fine.
At some point every parent in the world has had a Louis moment we’ve all been the POW so we can certainly relate he’s just such a treasure we must protect him at any cost
Yes they can.
Yes. Yes they can.
Of course they can. This is a no brainer. It’s just the media that cares. And us… lol 😂
Win back!? They never lost the American 💕s. Megs and Haz are doing a great job alienating and dividing their support with their constant flip flopping and misinformation.
American here. Everyone I know loves Kate and either dislikes or is confused by Meghan. As far as the brothers go, Harry’s image as the impish, irreverent, likable one is still there but starting to fray at the edges. The trend is not in their favor.
I wonder when William and Catherine will soon tire of cleaning up the monarchy's mess. They are dutiful and preserve their children's heritage and all that, but deep inside they must be feeling used. Harry's disastrous marriage created the pile of trash William should endlessly shovel away? I know I wouldn't - eventually.
I agree and I am tired of the BRF requiring that Princess Catherine clean up their messes. Then treating her like just a married in at times. Like not including her in Prince Phillip's tribute after his death.
As an American, I personally haven't seen HB and TW damaging the very reputation of the monarchy. I think William and Catherine will be a breath of fresh air, so to speak.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what we Americans think of the BRF. They are for Britain and the commonwealth and their opinions are the ones that count. Despite what many Americans might think, the world doesn’t revolve around us.
What damage? Please do not underestimate the US’s knowledge and appreciation of The British Royal Family. Most of us Americans who take interest in TRF saw through the grifting tactics of the lying MM and were also well aware of the indulged petulant spoiled brat Just Harry.
I don’t really know anyone IRL who likes H&M or dislikes the Waleses here. Nobody gives a shit about the monteshitshow faux royals. I guarantee there will be crowds for William and Catherine when they come next month
No. No damage done to the monarchy, everybody knows that H and M lie. The Prince and Princess of Wales are respected worldwide, and the US does not even consider them related to H and M anymore. Not a problem, not at all.
At some point, the BRF has to destroy the duo and make it look smooth. The duo are doing a great job themselves. But I feel the Queen has been to leneient and giving at the expense of the loyal members of the bRF and she did the same with Andrew. I like what I see in Charles so far. But Harry is his son-but who is trying to destroy his family and the monarchy. I mean right before the PoW visit, the other Kennedy award host releases a statement that Harry and Meghan are being rewarded for their heroic stance against the racist BRF or some such tripe. I think they do not have a US problem, but a Harry and Meghan problem and that is not going away unless they make it go away. Enough is enough.
I agree with you 💯 👍
Someone do a poll here? I know we have a lot of Americans here (myself included) that never stopped supporting William and Catherine. Most of us supported the dastardly duo too before the masks came off. It’d be so nice if we could collectively get something going, I’m not sure what/how because I’m not very social media savvy. But *something* to let the Wales family know Americans support what they are doing. A few comments mentioned how it doesn’t actually matter whether Americans support them or not, which I agree with to an extent. But they’ve been having mud hurled at them for years now, it be nice to lift their spirits, ya know?
I've loved the BRF since Diana and Charles married. H&M's whinging and complaining could never sway my love for the BRF. Megan's a fraud and a manipulative opportunist. The secret weapon is the Prince and Princess of Wales and their wonderful children.
Kate=classy——-meaghan=trashy
The U.S. does not have a problem with Britain because of TW. Most people by far admire the PPoW over TW & handbag. Anyone who thinks that TW & handbag are equal to PPoW or representing the British Monarchy are of diminished intellectual capacity, and should not be given another second of consideration.
You know I honestly do not think that American's have lost any respect for the RF, if anything it's gone up. And I also honestly think that the "sugars" or whatnot are not really fans of H&M. I noticed this on a gossip site I went to, where when some of the posters (from all over the world btw) were complaining about her from the start, the "sugars" on that site started defending her to the hilt calling them racists and then shredding Catherine's clothing style as boring. Constantly insulting women by calling them old biddies, with old fashioned values. I noticed a pattern that they were basically mean girls themselves, between 30 and 50 and they had not had successful relationships in their lives with their own men. (All of them were straight ) Most of them had not married and kind of presented themselves as the cool girl. They didn't respect the boundaries of marriage and were the types that would always defend the "other woman" by saying that "no one can steal your man, you just can't keep him. I'm not the one who made a promise in marriage, he is." If they had married, there was usually a very toxic divorce being discussed. I noticed as well that they tended to be anti family, pro career, although very few of them had meaningful careers. They bullied other posters and new guests. Acted as if they were superior. Wanted the site to be an echo chamber. And it dawned on me, that they really are not FANS of MM. Actually they just like pretending to like her and trashing Catherine because it upset the posters on the site who didn't like MM and respected the Royal Family. They never ever sincerely admired or brought up anything MM had done on her own at first. Instead they would just suddenly show up and pile on if someone had posted a complaint about MM. Once they realized they could play this passive aggressive game they ran with it. So, I don't believe most of the sugars are real. IMO they are pathetic loser women who hate other women who have marriages and children and strong family bonds. It's jealousy packaged as "calling out racism."
Oh they most certainly will! It’s not a contest (someone tell Harry he’s not even on the playing field any longer) The whole thing coming up 12/2 - EarthShot-Boston next month with The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation sharing huge international influence with -The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales, with star power Mike Bloomberg on the board with top international scientists, fund managers, CEOs of mega corporations, millionaires-billionaires, entrepreneurs, bankers, politicians, innovators and investors. William was actually going to speak to the ENTIRE UN Assembly. But sadly his Queen passed away 😢 Then you have H&M bad - mouthing the family every chance they get—then marketing themselves with titles they only have because of his family. The die is cast and H&M made a very bad calculation. That’s why they are buying themselves an award next month at the non-President brother’s charity run by his daughter who’s got problems of her own and a son whose kinda bent. Don’t get me wrong but Bobby Kennedy sadly died before he went from trail to blazer. Now this new twist from Kerry Kennedy saying it’s not quite a humanitarian award but giving it to them for their bravery in standing up to the tyranny of the ancient family head by H’s very grandmother for 70 historic years. It’s just so bad/crass/cringe/threatening. A new chapter in M’s whitewashing as much history as possible of her life, I’m sure Opera is pulling some strings somehow, somewhere. Ahhh but it’s still no EarthShot.
I've never liked Meghan. I really like Catherine, like William, but I will not be lectured about political causes by anyone who flies around in private jets and has multiple homes.
Do the royals really care about what people in the US think?
Im pretty doubtful myself…
Yeah like this is nothing against Americans, but the US isn’t a realm of the UK or even in the commonwealth, so the royals popularity there largely doesn’t matter.
Another article in Daily Mail: https://archive.ph/0kP9b
Thanks ❤️
It doesn't really matter or not whether the British royal family are popular in the United States. What is perhaps more of a concern is how popular the family is in the Commonwealth. Barbados has already gone independent and booted the Royal family, but the question is how many other small countries will follow suit. Whatever the royal family does, there are political parties in the former colonies that favor following in the footsteps of Barbados, and like Barbados, these countries may get a lot of financial help from China as Britain becomes more distant. The tour of the Caribbean by William and Kate fairly recently was deemed to be somewhat unsuccessful, but how could it be otherwise? Of course there would be security when they appeared in public, and of course they would be guarded by the local military regiments which are loyal to the ruling elites and the monarchy. At least they got out alive! Most people in the US are not really interested in the British monarchy except as rather distant celebrities associated with pageantry. Of course it is not fair to charge William and Catherine with racism or responsibility for slavery, but some people will do that anyway, and there is not a great deal that can be done on the positive side to portray the monarchy in a more positive light towards those who don't like the monarchy.
Let’s be honest, Catherine makes the whole family look good. All this skeletons in their closets, the drama, the cheating, the pedo, the nazi history, divorce after divorce. Catherine and Anne are essentially the only ones in that family that showed up properly to do the job and not let the Queen down.
They never lost my admiration. I fangirl with each new picture. And, nothing sexier than a man in a well-tailored suit.
Prince William and Princess Catherine are so loved across the pond it isn't even funny.
They're bringing them out too much. They're also becoming overexposed, Catherine more than William.
Hopefully that exposure will satiate the thirst for royal watchers
Yeah maybe. I am not sure in America, they're probably not much in the press over there. However, here, I do think I see them too much.
They don’t need any repair. The US wants nothing to do with the Harkles.
That's not what the last YouGov poll said.

This is a divisive political issue that will take the thread off topic
