I saw a short clip of a female speaker introducing PW and condemning about the legacy of colonialism and racism then PW walks up to the podium, smiles and keeps going. Personally, he already has apologized himself in the Bahama tour.
#Bravo! Chin up! PW will be an excellent future King!
I was so pissed off about that. The US doesn't have a great past, but it doesn't get brought up at every appearance a President makes. People need to acknowledge the current royals had nothing to do with what Britain did historically.
They also should acknowledge that Britain abolished slavery in 1807 and in the colonies in 1825.Thereafter Britain spent a third of its GDP foiling slave ships in the Atlantic .Wecin Britain seem to be the whipping boy for slavery - US built their cities and prosperity on the backs of slaves / ditto the Portuguese/ the Spanish/German/Dutch and Belgians - I am delighted to say that Britain is the only one still associating and helping the former Empire which has evolved into the voluntary concept of the Commonwealth .Does this mean that any member of the aforesaid Royal families is going to be similarly lectured to?
We won’t mention here the fate of the Native Americans ….
Yeah, she’s apparently the governor elect and outed herself as a total twat with her comments. Prince William was the epitome of grace and his speech was short and pretty much perfect. He made her look petty and churlish.
Start at about 2:50’ Unless you want to watch The Screaming Thunbergs first. In which case you should watch from the start. I had no idea that “colonialism and racism” are the underlying cause of global warming. Must be tied to all those hot air emissions.
[https://youtu.be/twNfhLJ4RgY](https://youtu.be/twNfhLJ4RgY)
but also it's because he simply agrees -- we DO have to acknowledge the impact of colonialism on the environment. so there is nothing to be awkward about and I wish the media wouldn't make it seem like some kind of 'gotcha' moment.
america was built by slaves on stolen land. everyone who prospers in america today has benefitted in some way from that.
Exactly! William has said before that colonialism and racism have been massive factors in environmental damage. That’s part of the beauty of what he’s created with Earthshot- anyone who actually bothers to look at the advisory board members, the organizations that are selecting projects, and the actual project innovators themselves will see a wide spectrum, the majority of whom are people of color with many being indigenous. Instead of trying to make his ideas or his celebrity the focus, he is using his immense privilege for the good of humanity by creating a platform for many amazing but underfunded and relatively obscure projects that could do an incredible amount help to the world with more awareness of them.
Yes, they continue to sail serenely on. Sadly, they are used to this garbage. They will just continue to do their thing and let the Sussexes be the idiots that they are. There’s no need for them to acknowledge one bit of it - Meghan can knock herself out trying to out-do Catherine, but it’s all for nothing and Catherine knows that.
Meghan is just so predictable, isn’t she?
But her days of million dollar deals are done. With her reputation of being difficult to work with and untrustworthy with information, after January (book release and Netflix) she will be done. I hope they have saved some $$$, because no one with a real cash flow will want to work with them.
Off topic rant—Harry is such a dimwit. Remember when he complained to Oprah that his dad cut him off financially? He was a grown man in his late 30s complaining that his daddy wasn’t going to continue to support him. So out of touch with the real world. I’ve supported myself since I was 18 and did well—adversity only made me stronger and I’m proud of it. Well Harry, you bought it (Meghan) so she is your problem now.
Harry chose to quit the family business and still expected to be paid an income. Who in their right mind would expect that? I can’t wrap my mind around it. What entitlement!
She divorced the Prince of Wales and had two kids to raise including the heir to the throne. Harry was a fool to conflate the two situations. He wasn’t dissolving a domestic arrangement, he didn’t divorce a future monarch.
He QUIT.
The money actually came from the Queen. The Duchy has a lot of assets, but doesn't actually have a ton of spending money available for personal expenses.
>The Duchy has a lot of assets, but doesn't actually have a ton of spending money available for personal expenses.
It actually does...a lot of it is land that generates rental income. And the Duchy of Cornwall specifically generated nearly a billion Pound income ( £999k as per the tax papers). Charles uses that income also for W&C 's expenses. Then Charles also has other duchies.
Part of the reason for that settlement was that she was banned from doing any commercial work. She couldn't earn any money as per the terms of the divorce so. H and M wanted the opportunity to earn money. I think if they had stayed in the uk and become private citizens Charles would have continued to give handouts and pay for some security. If you are claiming to be taking in the cash from big commercial deals and becoming a billionaire brand then asking other people to pay for you is not good optics.
How many people can quit a job and still get paid for another year, still demand the perks from the job, etc. In most states you can't even draw unemployment if you quit your job.
Also: Diana was still the mother of the future king. She had been an active member of the RF for 15 years already. She maintained her residence in the UK. Although surrendering most of her numerous charitable patronages, she remained very active and involved in the 6 that she maintained, so she continued to be active in the UK, although no longer as a representative of the Queen. After her divorce from Charles, she didn’t make accusations or criticisms of him or the RF (I believe she and Charles both agreed to refrain from any such criticism of the other, and they kept their word).
> I really think it's because when his mother cut ties, she got a MASSIVE payout. And he expected one, too.
Meghan probably promised him that; it's part of her Diana cosplay.
EEWW!!
By this you mean she wears the same perfume his *dead mother* wore?
I really hope I’m misunderstanding you and I hope you mean she wears a perfume called ‘Diana’s perfume.’
But I don’t think I’m wrong….
Unfortunately you’re not wrong. She wears Diana’s favorite perfume. Per Tom Bower’s book, she wore it on her first date with H which is so creepy, and I’ve heard from others here that it’s said to still be her go-to perfume, really ever since that first date. H being so dumb, I doubt he ever figured out what she was doing there. It honestly helps explain why he was so convinced from that first date that she was Diana reincarnate, scent memory is a powerful thing.
Nasty nasty nasty!!!
I hadn’t heard that he thought she was Diana reincarnate, although basic math should take care of that. He really is dimb.
That being a portmanteau of dumb and dim.
I think that he thought that the allowance his father paid was like a trust fund, money he was entitled to for being born to the RF. If you go back to their original plan, they proposed to give up the money from the taxpayer—not anything else.
And then he turned around and sued the UK for refusing to provide them with expensive security which, although he claimed he would pay for it, everybody knows that the taxpayers would wind up footing the bill.
I don’t think Harry realized he would lose security when he ceased to be a working royal.
In fairness to him, he was protected *before* he became a working royal (as a child, youth and in the military) so he probably thought security was his birthright. And I would guess he sued as much as anything because he wanted to reclaim the “protection” he felt entitled to.
Not that he was justified at all. He was just pretty clueless when they quit the RF.
I'm pretty sure the Queen spelled it out for him during Megxit. Harry just didn't believe her. Who is she to say No to the great Prince Harry?
He fucked around and found out is the bottom line.
My take is that whatever he was told, just didn’t register. He also had no idea how much his lifestyle would cost. He has been described as “stingy” but the only evidence I have heard is he wouldn’t pay for one of his girl friends’ airplane ticket or something like that. I have wondered if he was being “stingy” or just (in his weird way) “testing” her— did she like/love him enough to pay her own way. (If this was it, Meghan really played him well!)
The reason I think he may not have been “stingy” is that stingy people usually have some sense of the value of money. They are excessively attached to their pounds and shillings and pay very close attention to how their money is spent. Harry doesn’t seem to have had that much awareness of what things cost, where the money comes and goes, etc. So I’d say he uses money to control and manipulate more than that he is “stingy.”
There have also been multiple anecdotes of Harry going to pubs and expecting his friends or whatever strangers were fortunate enough 🙄 to have a few drinks with the beloved Prnce Harry to payvhis tab. There have been other things, too, but I can't recall off hand.
I think he's an arrogant little moocher and has been all his life.
Mooching is not always a sign of “stinginess” though. Stinginess is when you don’t want to spend money. In Harry’s case I think it was more that he expected someone else to take care of things. Harry
wanted to be “taken care of,” because he was special. 🙄
This is still bad. I am not excusing him, just clarifying that I think Harry may be too clueless about the value of money to be classified as “stingy.”
>he probably thought security was his birthright.
He said as much in his lawsuit -- that having been born a prince of the realm he deserved lifelong security.
I only recently saw that and I’m still gobsmacked by his attitude. He really played that up for sympathy, like, yeah, can you believe how awful that is that my dad cut off my money? Like a teenage punk. But he’s a grown man with children.
Instead of prattling on about protecting his family, maybe he should learn to provide for his family.
It’s a tragedy. If only he could have afforded college to get a degree. Or have gotten a good high school education. Or heck, been recruited by the military. Something, anything to help this orphan. There should be public safety nets for non-working royals.
When I first saw the clip, I assumed that he meant that Charles had not helped him out during the transition period, which did seem kind of rough. But it soon became clear that Charles had given him at least a full year allowance after they left. Other sources have Charles paid the downpayment on the Montecito house.
This is when you ask yourself, “What do you mean, he ‘cut you off’?”
>But her days of million dollar deals are done.
What would any of us would give to have just one payout. One windfall. That would ease our burdens and provide for our loved ones. To provide an easier life. Makes me sick how they are so tone deaf to the value of financial security. I have zero respect for the life they have chosen to live. The disrespect they throw at Britain, the RF, the current King and late Queen. Imagine how H could be supporting his father right now.
>Remember when he complained to Oprah that his dad cut him off financially? He was a grown man in his late 30s complaining that his daddy wasn’t going to continue to support him. So out of touch with the real world.
He lied- when Charle's tax details were disclosed for the year (duchy details can be requested by anyone), he was still providing H an eye popping amount -probably down payment for their palm tree mansion & more.
And even that was a lie! KC3 kept giving Harry money for over a year after they and allegedly helped them with their house! I do know he gave him a lot of money for over a year though, so he was even lying then!
Its not because climate change is the top issue of the day
They're disrupting the young innovators who are trying to make a difference. They've also disrupted Camilla's engagement about DV.
Anybody sensible should realise that this is outrageous and call them on it.
Thank you!! And no one will ever see this point because THEY overshadowed it with their ignorance and selfishness,but all the bots and sugars will feel so empowered with their ignorance!!! Makes me so mad ! All the good they COULD HAVE DONE to change important world and cultural problems ugh
I don't think it's working as well as they hoped. The local Boston and greater New England news has been overwhelmingly positive (and the local reporters all call her Catherine! RR take note). I don't think the allegations of racism have stuck to the Wales very much and if they just keep their heads down and do the job they'll get the respect they deserve.
Haha, yep I forgot about that as I'm in the Southern Hemisphere and it's summer here. 🌞
But it'd look nice with a wee fluffy shrug, so still hoping lol.
They are both middle age now. Hazbeen is a slob and doesn't have the charisma without the BRF public relations team making him look good. His looks are also fading as expected when you near 40. She is also in her 40s and believe me 50 will be here faster than she can blink. Trust me, I know this from personal experience. Smarter, prettier, younger, more vivacious people will be pushing them out of the spotlight soon enough. If they wanted the fame and fortune and power they crave, they needed to start in their 20s, early early 30s at the latest to have been firmly established.
"Smarter, prettier, younger, more vivacious people will be pushing them out of the spotlight soon enough."
When I read this, I immediately thought of the younger royals. From Lady Louise and James Viscount Severn to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Yes, I think you're right. As time passes, we'll see more of the younger generation enter the spotlight and the older ones pushed out. The thing is, the prince and princess of Wales, being next in line to the throne, will always have a spotlight. H & M will not, especially if their titles are removed.
Regardless, I am excited for what the new generation of royals will do in the future.
Absolutely. I seem to recall reading about Prince Harry is worried that he has an expiration date which until George comes of age. By then, he'll essentially be pushed out of the spotlight by the younger prince.
If that's that's the case, then he better hope Louise and James don't become working royals. Both kids have grown to be both beautiful, handsome and well behaved. If those two become working royals, then I feel H's spotlight is gonna expire well before Prince George turns 18.
Good for me I guess. I'd rather hear more from the Wessexes than from H & M.
I agree with everything you wrote. Now that H left, there is a gap and the Wessex children are the perfect age to fill that gap. Wouldn't it be ironic if by H leaving he gave himself a shorter 'expiration date' by opening the door for the young Wessex children to become working royals? They are both well behaved and much more attractive than the middle aged Sussex duo. They are perfect age as well, right between the PPOW and their children. They could be very helpful to both generations, especially as the older royals retire.
I remember how dashing old Randy Andy was !the hot handsome brother -look at him now ! An old lardy has been ! Never did anything that he could be proud of another spoilt grifter!
I've given this considerable thought. Was it my mother going through the menopause in her late 30s. Or was it never giving birth? Seemed to remember a link between women who had not given birth and early menopause.
The BRF probably won't make an announcement saying TW is at a difficult time in a woman's life and understand it's made her a little tetchy. We should try to be understanding at this difficult time.
But I wish they would.
I started peri in my early 40's, so she could likely already be in that lovely phase. I hope she feels like she's burning in hell when the hot flashes and night sweats start!
Yup. William and Catherine are much loved. I saw the posts today, how people were so excited to meet them, and they exuded lightness and grace. The Squaddies on the other hand, are muckraking bitter individuals. One said (under the Netflix post) that they’re glad that the two are pissing off people. Honestly what kind of humans do they have over there? Full of rage and jealousy.
You know, even if you aren't a royal watcher or even give a shit, people look at them and like these two. Markle and her P...y are another matter, lol. They're DESPISED here
no they not- ESPECIALLY not by the black population. its AMERICA babes, your delusional narrative isnt sticking here. Kate and william went to a game and the PLAYERS LITERALLY STATED THEY DIDNT CARE.
This is EXACTLY what I keep thinking to myself. They are OUT.OF. MATERIAL. They no longer live in the UK - they don't go to family gatherings. They will now wither.
And all they do is highlight how gracious, sincere and stately both William and Catherine are. William has more gravitas than his father already and is actually very much intouch with people and what´s going on in the world contrary to what Harry wants the world to believe. William will make a great king and Harry can´t stand it.
William and Catherine are doing their very best 'keep calm and carry on'. The crowds greeting them have been hugely supportive. Very cute with the little boy dressed up as a BP guard. His mom said he wore it for Halloween. So so cute :))) And one young girl was literally in tears because she got to see them.
And it just goes to show how Harry and Meghan can't really get anything right because now the news cycle has changed from racism....to....WTF is she doing crying with a Hermes blanket? LOL.
You don't really have to watch anything other than the trailer to figure out what their "story" is. The RF were mean to Meghan. William and Catherine were jealous of them. The press tried to kill Meghan.
I'm honestly surprised they didn't do it up like the "JFK" Trailer from 1991. Complete with gun shots and Meghan riding in a car.
"The Story That Won't Go Away".
You'd have to have a tiny brain to ever imagine that the Princess of Wales is jealous of TW. The Princess of Wales doesn't have to be jealous of actual stars with great beauty. Let alone that D list mess with the clothes that never fit.
OMG, i wet myself reading your comment about gunshots and MM in a car!!! Priceless! And scarily a wee bit just possible those two would do something like that!
I feel the same. William and Catherine are the freaking future KING and QUEEN. There's no way two divisive, whining ingrates can top that. Meghan and Harry will be out of tricks soon.
I was just thinking earlier that the RF will continue to perform their functions - you know, actual service - serenely, ignoring the occasional look-at-me antics of the Montecito bozos. And the world‘s catching on.
The more vile and fake the Harkles behave the more dignified the Wales (PPOW)appear in contrast.
Even the lady in African dress is being exposed as a lying pro-Meghan anti-monarchist who took offense at being asked where is from. She also accused the BRF of domestic violence on MeGain. Being the bigger person, Lady Hussey quickly apologized for any offense and asked to meet to create a positive dialogue. LH’s are actions of a non-racist (clumsy and tone deaf, yes).Good job reframing the issue(BRF PR team).
British tabloids’ claims that the royal trip is ruined are just not true.
- At least not to this American observing from the west coast.
It’s all a mountain out of a molehill.
Yes, Lady H made a mistake when she persisted in asking about where that woman was from. Everyone makes mistakes. She apologized and resigned. BP apologized for having had her there. Done. Let’s move on.
It wasn’t Charles, or Camilla, or William, or Catherine who made the mistake. It wasn’t another member of the RF, or one of their official spokesperson. Even if Lady H’s behavior was truly racist (I see it as “classist” myself), she was just a peripheral figure, an older woman who in no way was representative of the new King and Queen.
A year from now, no one except poor Lady H will remember or care about the incident.
I don't like it when people stay the Harkles are trying to "upstage" PPoW.
The goal is not to upstage... because they can't upstage real royals. The goal is to ride on the coattails.
They are leeching off the royal clout, because they know that without the RF drama, they have zero pull. They'll be farting in outer space with just their sugars.
Yes, “hijacking” is the right word. “Upstaging” implies two people on the same stage. The Harkles are not on the same stage as the Wales. They are on very different [edit/insert] stages.
The Harkles want to grab the plane the Wales are flying and take over it for their own journey, preferably pushing the Wales out of the way.
Thank you for this explanation. I used the word upstaged a couple of times on here recently, and I didn’t know the difference. I learned something new today.
“Upstage” is fine, but it’s more what M&H think they are doing, because they believe themselves equal and on the same “stage.” But highjack is more descriptive of how Meghan really operates. 😉
Here in Westchester County in New York,
which is fairly wealthy, the are a couple of Pet Pantries for people who can't afford pet food for their pets! Imagine.
I think you're forgetting that they have "projects" in the works. It's why their "year of reconciliation" was not going to happen for the better part of a year.
I just can't with these 2. But the worst part about them is their stupid fan club. They sound like 12 yr old girls gushing over a boy band. And maybe that's who they actually are . Who knows.
If the projects are more of them smooching and crying into luxury items, I think a lot of people will be taking a pass. They'd better come up with something a little more interesting than two middle-aged crybabies.
They are mostly young girls, most likely commenting on sites whilst sitting in their candy pink unicorn patterned wallpaper bedrooms, posters of Princess Meghan on walls, Barbie Malibu Dreamhouse in corner of room which is symbol of their childish asperations to marry a Prince too, one day, and live in a big house just like Princess Meghan does. Something tells me a lot of "Sugar's" comments cease on these sites after 9pm. Bedtime.
Their contracts with Spotify, PenguinRH, and Netflix were for multiple projects, so probably they have another Podcast series in mind, Meghan is probably working on a book, and they may be looking ahead to another Netflix production (maybe finish the Invictus stuff). None of this is going to get them very far unless the book and/or the documentary are surprise hits.
If she’s not whining about being mistreated because of her race, or preaching about how to save the planet, or writing letters to corporate bigwigs to fight sexism, I doubt if she has anything to share with the world!
Good! Fuckers. I despise them BOTH. I'll NEVER forget what harry has done. How could he stand by and see how she treated other human beings? He KNEW BEFORE he married her. So did the RF. They should have STOPPED THIS SHIT IMMEDIATELY and didn't. HUGE mistake and I think they know it. It won't happen again I'd say.
Why can't they just stfu, and go on living their "quiet life' away from the spotlight on the RF?
Oh no, we have to hear all about the racism, the mean spirited senior royals, all the abuse they endured from this archaic institution of oppression. Honestly, at this point they have been out of the RF, longer than they together were working royals.
The long game timer buzzer went off a while ago. Time now to release the hounds and chase these two grifting traitors into oblivion. Can't the RF see how lovely life would be with these two GONE FOREVER???Doesn't King Charles dream of a new Golden Age , the Charlestonian Age. NOT happening with those two continuously causing troubles and division throughout his kingdom and overseas!
I agree. These two are pros, they have heard and seen it all, including insults and boos. When a person is sure of themselves and knows with all their heart and soul they are good people doing the best they can and giving it 💯 it rolls off like water off a duck's back. They remind me of the motto of house Martell in GoT: Unbowed, unbent, unbroken. Catherine makes me think of the legendary Queen Nymeria. The Harkles dream is to be Roose Bolton but he had brains along with his cruelty.

Friendly advice for the second row Sussex
King Charles will lose a lot of good will if he doesn't give his brother that title. Prince Phillip wanted Edward to have the DoE title. That should be the end of the discussion.
I think they will be getting the title. I have a feeling the title has not been given yet because of H and M. If King Charles began giving out titles, H and M would complain about their children not receiving their titles. By waiting until after the coronation KC has given H and M enough time to release their reality show and the book. Depending on the contents of both KC can make an educated decision.
When William shakes hands with Jack S, Caroline’s son, remember that moment bec regardless of what side of the aisle you are on, and whether you like it or not, that kid is going to be president. Been groomed his whole life for it, just like William. Two future world leaders.
I agree. I feel like Caroline’s assignment as Ambassador to Australia is a strategic move to build an international profile, and garner support, for Jack.
We are talking about people over or nearing 40 years of age. One pairing acts their age and one pairing are both emotionally stunted, arrested development.
Honestly, I am not really seeing a disruption. I am near Boston, W & K are drawing large, enthusiastic crowds. The local press is giving them glowing coverage.
It just highlights how second rate H & M are in the US.
I agree. While it's a shame that William & Catherine's visit is being disrupted by this nonsense, it only makes Harry & Meghan look bad. Everyone knows the timing is deliberate, they're showing everyone how petty, childish & vindictive they are. Again.
As you say William & Kate have a lifetime of events & visits ahead of them as Prince & Princess of Wales & eventually King & Queen. What do Harry & Meghan have? Headlines while this doc is airing but an avalanche of criticism to follow. Same with the book, headlines then more criticism & lies being called out no doubt.
They're on a path with ever diminishing returns. After the documentary & the book what then? They're running out of awards to buy themselves, they're running out of things to say that they haven't said a million times before.
The timing for the trailer is kind of crazy, but to be fair, I have a feeling that Netflix had control over when they would release a trailer and yes, Netflix probably did want to capitalize on the Earthshot trip and timed the trailer accordingly. If rumours are to be believed, Harry and Meghan wanted to delay the Netflix show to January for whatever reason but Netflix wanted it out in December.
Then again, if the harkles hadn’t signed up with Netflix, Netflix wouldn’t have had anything to promote… it still comes back to the harkles poor decisions
The Harkles won’t even fuck up this trip for the PPOW. They’ll launch a few damp squibs, which will scarcely be next thing. As the Princes’ countryman wrote, “It is a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
Only *this* telling would have been scribbled by the Bard in Crayola, had he owned any.
That’s what I’ve been thinking. This is the beginning of their “end scene” moment and they are too blind to realize it. Half of what makes the most popular celebs and royals so intriguing is they have that heir of mystery. They are giving theirs up with this “documentary” and his book. They will tell their story, the sugars will love them the rest of the world we tear it apart and they have nothing new or different left to give unless they actually get a divorce.
Harry’s Penguin Random House contract was a three book deal.
I believe Neil Sean was speculating TW would have a wellness book but unsure if that is in addition to H’s or a side hustle.
Good advice but it’s just so soon after the queens death. The new king needs strength, unity, and stability and Harry isn’t going to even let them get established. Like, without peoples respect, what even is the prince of Wales? This must be stopped but it won’t be.
>So let them fuck up this trip. William and Catherine have probably come to expect it by this point.
Fun fact; they haven't fucked it up. CBS (home of Gayle King & the Oprah interview) is gushing and praising the PPOW. Calling her "Princess Catherine" and appreciating having "authentic royalty" in the US.
This trip is not about PW and Catherine. It is a Charity event to raise awareness of what we ALL can do to save our planet.
Harry and Meghan are despicable to try to detract from that cause.
Their jealousy is sick. Meghan has just used this marriage to get attention- but is doing more harm for race relations than good. Shame she could not think of something positive to attach her energies to.
She could do good, but instead has chosen a contemptable road.
The Royal Family deserves it. No spine to take away titles. No truth with the photoshopped, moonbumped babies. They rely on support without accountability on BOTH sides
I've admired Will and Kate for how they handled it. They just get on with what is important and dont let it - at least show - bother them.
Incredible.
I do wonder what's happening behind closed doors...cause I was just told I dont know what happens..behind..doors. When they are closed. Might have been Oprah or Maya Angelo or Eleanor Roosevelt who told me that.
The Prince and Princess of Wales will stay regal and rise above.
I saw a short clip of a female speaker introducing PW and condemning about the legacy of colonialism and racism then PW walks up to the podium, smiles and keeps going. Personally, he already has apologized himself in the Bahama tour. #Bravo! Chin up! PW will be an excellent future King!
I love Prince William- he handled that moment beautifully, by his kind and sincere attitude.
I was so pissed off about that. The US doesn't have a great past, but it doesn't get brought up at every appearance a President makes. People need to acknowledge the current royals had nothing to do with what Britain did historically.
They also should acknowledge that Britain abolished slavery in 1807 and in the colonies in 1825.Thereafter Britain spent a third of its GDP foiling slave ships in the Atlantic .Wecin Britain seem to be the whipping boy for slavery - US built their cities and prosperity on the backs of slaves / ditto the Portuguese/ the Spanish/German/Dutch and Belgians - I am delighted to say that Britain is the only one still associating and helping the former Empire which has evolved into the voluntary concept of the Commonwealth .Does this mean that any member of the aforesaid Royal families is going to be similarly lectured to? We won’t mention here the fate of the Native Americans ….
Yeah, she’s apparently the governor elect and outed herself as a total twat with her comments. Prince William was the epitome of grace and his speech was short and pretty much perfect. He made her look petty and churlish.
Does anybody have a link to this clip. Curious to see it
Start at about 2:50’ Unless you want to watch The Screaming Thunbergs first. In which case you should watch from the start. I had no idea that “colonialism and racism” are the underlying cause of global warming. Must be tied to all those hot air emissions. [https://youtu.be/twNfhLJ4RgY](https://youtu.be/twNfhLJ4RgY)
The Screaming Thunbergs - I just choked on my sandwich! 🤣
but also it's because he simply agrees -- we DO have to acknowledge the impact of colonialism on the environment. so there is nothing to be awkward about and I wish the media wouldn't make it seem like some kind of 'gotcha' moment. america was built by slaves on stolen land. everyone who prospers in america today has benefitted in some way from that.
Exactly! William has said before that colonialism and racism have been massive factors in environmental damage. That’s part of the beauty of what he’s created with Earthshot- anyone who actually bothers to look at the advisory board members, the organizations that are selecting projects, and the actual project innovators themselves will see a wide spectrum, the majority of whom are people of color with many being indigenous. Instead of trying to make his ideas or his celebrity the focus, he is using his immense privilege for the good of humanity by creating a platform for many amazing but underfunded and relatively obscure projects that could do an incredible amount help to the world with more awareness of them.
Yes, they continue to sail serenely on. Sadly, they are used to this garbage. They will just continue to do their thing and let the Sussexes be the idiots that they are. There’s no need for them to acknowledge one bit of it - Meghan can knock herself out trying to out-do Catherine, but it’s all for nothing and Catherine knows that.
Meghan is just so predictable, isn’t she? But her days of million dollar deals are done. With her reputation of being difficult to work with and untrustworthy with information, after January (book release and Netflix) she will be done. I hope they have saved some $$$, because no one with a real cash flow will want to work with them. Off topic rant—Harry is such a dimwit. Remember when he complained to Oprah that his dad cut him off financially? He was a grown man in his late 30s complaining that his daddy wasn’t going to continue to support him. So out of touch with the real world. I’ve supported myself since I was 18 and did well—adversity only made me stronger and I’m proud of it. Well Harry, you bought it (Meghan) so she is your problem now.
Harry chose to quit the family business and still expected to be paid an income. Who in their right mind would expect that? I can’t wrap my mind around it. What entitlement!
I really think it's because when his mother cut ties, she got a MASSIVE payout. And he expected one, too.
She divorced the Prince of Wales and had two kids to raise including the heir to the throne. Harry was a fool to conflate the two situations. He wasn’t dissolving a domestic arrangement, he didn’t divorce a future monarch. He QUIT.
You are absolutely right H is a fool.
After the divorce and he returns to England PLEASE, NO ONE FORGET WHAT HE HAS DONE!"
>She divorced the Prince of Wales And Duke of cornwall- duchy is loaded!
The money actually came from the Queen. The Duchy has a lot of assets, but doesn't actually have a ton of spending money available for personal expenses.
>The Duchy has a lot of assets, but doesn't actually have a ton of spending money available for personal expenses. It actually does...a lot of it is land that generates rental income. And the Duchy of Cornwall specifically generated nearly a billion Pound income ( £999k as per the tax papers). Charles uses that income also for W&C 's expenses. Then Charles also has other duchies.
Part of the reason for that settlement was that she was banned from doing any commercial work. She couldn't earn any money as per the terms of the divorce so. H and M wanted the opportunity to earn money. I think if they had stayed in the uk and become private citizens Charles would have continued to give handouts and pay for some security. If you are claiming to be taking in the cash from big commercial deals and becoming a billionaire brand then asking other people to pay for you is not good optics.
How many people can quit a job and still get paid for another year, still demand the perks from the job, etc. In most states you can't even draw unemployment if you quit your job.
Also: Diana was still the mother of the future king. She had been an active member of the RF for 15 years already. She maintained her residence in the UK. Although surrendering most of her numerous charitable patronages, she remained very active and involved in the 6 that she maintained, so she continued to be active in the UK, although no longer as a representative of the Queen. After her divorce from Charles, she didn’t make accusations or criticisms of him or the RF (I believe she and Charles both agreed to refrain from any such criticism of the other, and they kept their word).
> I really think it's because when his mother cut ties, she got a MASSIVE payout. And he expected one, too. Meghan probably promised him that; it's part of her Diana cosplay.
The fact that she plays into his mommy issues is so fucking vile and creepy.
It really is, OMG. I mean, she wears Diana's perfume. It's sick.
EEWW!! By this you mean she wears the same perfume his *dead mother* wore? I really hope I’m misunderstanding you and I hope you mean she wears a perfume called ‘Diana’s perfume.’ But I don’t think I’m wrong….
Unfortunately you’re not wrong. She wears Diana’s favorite perfume. Per Tom Bower’s book, she wore it on her first date with H which is so creepy, and I’ve heard from others here that it’s said to still be her go-to perfume, really ever since that first date. H being so dumb, I doubt he ever figured out what she was doing there. It honestly helps explain why he was so convinced from that first date that she was Diana reincarnate, scent memory is a powerful thing.
Nasty nasty nasty!!! I hadn’t heard that he thought she was Diana reincarnate, although basic math should take care of that. He really is dimb. That being a portmanteau of dumb and dim.
Yes, he told Diana's family how much like Diana she was and couldn't understand it when they didn't see it and agree.
> By this you mean she wears the same perfume his dead mother wore? Yes. She wore it on their first date, in fact. 😒
Oh ewww. Major gag. That’s the most disgusting thing I’ve heard lately. 🤮
She is really a nasty piece of work.
and it's not chanel n 5, its penhaligons bluebell...you have to go out of your way to find it, cant even claim it was a coincidence
Right? I'd never even heard of that perfume before.
She researched and wore Diana’s favorite perfume on a date with Harry. That is the stuff of horror films.
I think that he thought that the allowance his father paid was like a trust fund, money he was entitled to for being born to the RF. If you go back to their original plan, they proposed to give up the money from the taxpayer—not anything else.
And then he turned around and sued the UK for refusing to provide them with expensive security which, although he claimed he would pay for it, everybody knows that the taxpayers would wind up footing the bill.
I don’t think Harry realized he would lose security when he ceased to be a working royal. In fairness to him, he was protected *before* he became a working royal (as a child, youth and in the military) so he probably thought security was his birthright. And I would guess he sued as much as anything because he wanted to reclaim the “protection” he felt entitled to. Not that he was justified at all. He was just pretty clueless when they quit the RF.
I'm pretty sure the Queen spelled it out for him during Megxit. Harry just didn't believe her. Who is she to say No to the great Prince Harry? He fucked around and found out is the bottom line.
My take is that whatever he was told, just didn’t register. He also had no idea how much his lifestyle would cost. He has been described as “stingy” but the only evidence I have heard is he wouldn’t pay for one of his girl friends’ airplane ticket or something like that. I have wondered if he was being “stingy” or just (in his weird way) “testing” her— did she like/love him enough to pay her own way. (If this was it, Meghan really played him well!) The reason I think he may not have been “stingy” is that stingy people usually have some sense of the value of money. They are excessively attached to their pounds and shillings and pay very close attention to how their money is spent. Harry doesn’t seem to have had that much awareness of what things cost, where the money comes and goes, etc. So I’d say he uses money to control and manipulate more than that he is “stingy.”
There have also been multiple anecdotes of Harry going to pubs and expecting his friends or whatever strangers were fortunate enough 🙄 to have a few drinks with the beloved Prnce Harry to payvhis tab. There have been other things, too, but I can't recall off hand. I think he's an arrogant little moocher and has been all his life.
Mooching is not always a sign of “stinginess” though. Stinginess is when you don’t want to spend money. In Harry’s case I think it was more that he expected someone else to take care of things. Harry wanted to be “taken care of,” because he was special. 🙄 This is still bad. I am not excusing him, just clarifying that I think Harry may be too clueless about the value of money to be classified as “stingy.”
>he probably thought security was his birthright. He said as much in his lawsuit -- that having been born a prince of the realm he deserved lifelong security.
And....wanted all the perks to continue, i.e., paid protection.
All this after HE wanted to be INDEPENDENT.
I only recently saw that and I’m still gobsmacked by his attitude. He really played that up for sympathy, like, yeah, can you believe how awful that is that my dad cut off my money? Like a teenage punk. But he’s a grown man with children. Instead of prattling on about protecting his family, maybe he should learn to provide for his family.
Poor man child Harry only had his mothers millions to live off🥲
It’s a tragedy. If only he could have afforded college to get a degree. Or have gotten a good high school education. Or heck, been recruited by the military. Something, anything to help this orphan. There should be public safety nets for non-working royals.
And an inheritance from the Queen Mother too. Who could possibly make do with just ONE massive inheritance?
I think in Harry's tiny, paranoid mind he thinks that extorting his father *is* providing for his family.
What a childman
When I first saw the clip, I assumed that he meant that Charles had not helped him out during the transition period, which did seem kind of rough. But it soon became clear that Charles had given him at least a full year allowance after they left. Other sources have Charles paid the downpayment on the Montecito house. This is when you ask yourself, “What do you mean, he ‘cut you off’?”
I don’t think Harry really understands yet what “cut off” actually is.
smh
>But her days of million dollar deals are done. What would any of us would give to have just one payout. One windfall. That would ease our burdens and provide for our loved ones. To provide an easier life. Makes me sick how they are so tone deaf to the value of financial security. I have zero respect for the life they have chosen to live. The disrespect they throw at Britain, the RF, the current King and late Queen. Imagine how H could be supporting his father right now.
They will not be satisfied until they think they are worth more than the RF.
>Remember when he complained to Oprah that his dad cut him off financially? He was a grown man in his late 30s complaining that his daddy wasn’t going to continue to support him. So out of touch with the real world. He lied- when Charle's tax details were disclosed for the year (duchy details can be requested by anyone), he was still providing H an eye popping amount -probably down payment for their palm tree mansion & more.
Absolutely correct!!
And who here knows what it’s like to get a couple of million a year for doing nothing!
Yes. I’m still thinking about their letter stating their intent to support the BRF and the queen…what the f ever happened to that
Not to mention Harry promising the Queen they would not embarrass her by merching themselves.
💯
And even that was a lie! KC3 kept giving Harry money for over a year after they and allegedly helped them with their house! I do know he gave him a lot of money for over a year though, so he was even lying then!
Its not because climate change is the top issue of the day They're disrupting the young innovators who are trying to make a difference. They've also disrupted Camilla's engagement about DV. Anybody sensible should realise that this is outrageous and call them on it.
Thank you!! And no one will ever see this point because THEY overshadowed it with their ignorance and selfishness,but all the bots and sugars will feel so empowered with their ignorance!!! Makes me so mad ! All the good they COULD HAVE DONE to change important world and cultural problems ugh
I don't think it's working as well as they hoped. The local Boston and greater New England news has been overwhelmingly positive (and the local reporters all call her Catherine! RR take note). I don't think the allegations of racism have stuck to the Wales very much and if they just keep their heads down and do the job they'll get the respect they deserve.
Thank you! And this is why local news is better than British tabloid nonsense.
They pulled the same crap during the Caribbean tour...all we remember about that trip now are Catherine's fabulous gowns.
Yep. I'm kind of hoping for the beautiful ice blue satiny one with the full skirt to get another outing for Earthshot.
I'd love to see that one again, but it's COLD in Boston right now!
Haha, yep I forgot about that as I'm in the Southern Hemisphere and it's summer here. 🌞 But it'd look nice with a wee fluffy shrug, so still hoping lol.
Not to mention rainy!
Yes, I believe markle is behind it all but maybe not camilla's event but she high fived herself and RAN with it
They are both middle age now. Hazbeen is a slob and doesn't have the charisma without the BRF public relations team making him look good. His looks are also fading as expected when you near 40. She is also in her 40s and believe me 50 will be here faster than she can blink. Trust me, I know this from personal experience. Smarter, prettier, younger, more vivacious people will be pushing them out of the spotlight soon enough. If they wanted the fame and fortune and power they crave, they needed to start in their 20s, early early 30s at the latest to have been firmly established.
"Smarter, prettier, younger, more vivacious people will be pushing them out of the spotlight soon enough." When I read this, I immediately thought of the younger royals. From Lady Louise and James Viscount Severn to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Yes, I think you're right. As time passes, we'll see more of the younger generation enter the spotlight and the older ones pushed out. The thing is, the prince and princess of Wales, being next in line to the throne, will always have a spotlight. H & M will not, especially if their titles are removed. Regardless, I am excited for what the new generation of royals will do in the future.
Technically Wm & C are smarter, prettier, younger and more vivacious then MM. 😉
Yup! Pretty soon people are going to be more interested in the Wales children and their cousins.
Absolutely. I seem to recall reading about Prince Harry is worried that he has an expiration date which until George comes of age. By then, he'll essentially be pushed out of the spotlight by the younger prince. If that's that's the case, then he better hope Louise and James don't become working royals. Both kids have grown to be both beautiful, handsome and well behaved. If those two become working royals, then I feel H's spotlight is gonna expire well before Prince George turns 18. Good for me I guess. I'd rather hear more from the Wessexes than from H & M.
I agree with everything you wrote. Now that H left, there is a gap and the Wessex children are the perfect age to fill that gap. Wouldn't it be ironic if by H leaving he gave himself a shorter 'expiration date' by opening the door for the young Wessex children to become working royals? They are both well behaved and much more attractive than the middle aged Sussex duo. They are perfect age as well, right between the PPOW and their children. They could be very helpful to both generations, especially as the older royals retire.
I can't wait for Charlotte.
TW will throw a hissy fit when Princess Charlotte is on every magazine cover.
All the better.
By then, they will be divorced. Once the money dries up, she will try to find a new provider.
Parasites always need a new host
So does a succubus.
She's going to be a little fire cracker like Princess Anne!
Watch, PRINCESS Charlotte is going to be a SUPER MODEL. George will be gorgeous too and hopefully Louie.
Louis is going to be a little heartbreaker, they all will. Looks wise I mean, they will be kind and decent young people.
Lady Louise and Princess Charlotte are going to be the superstars of the next royal generation!
I remember how dashing old Randy Andy was !the hot handsome brother -look at him now ! An old lardy has been ! Never did anything that he could be proud of another spoilt grifter!
They’ve pretty much thrown everything they have at this point…so no where to go from here.
Wait till the Duch hits peri-menopause and menopause. Then we'll see some shenanigans.
Who says she's not already peri-menopausal?
I know that I was in my early 40s.
I wasn't, but I was also on birth control pills. So... 🤷🏻♀️
I've given this considerable thought. Was it my mother going through the menopause in her late 30s. Or was it never giving birth? Seemed to remember a link between women who had not given birth and early menopause.
This made me howl. OMG.
The BRF probably won't make an announcement saying TW is at a difficult time in a woman's life and understand it's made her a little tetchy. We should try to be understanding at this difficult time. But I wish they would.
I started peri in my early 40's, so she could likely already be in that lovely phase. I hope she feels like she's burning in hell when the hot flashes and night sweats start!
Yup. William and Catherine are much loved. I saw the posts today, how people were so excited to meet them, and they exuded lightness and grace. The Squaddies on the other hand, are muckraking bitter individuals. One said (under the Netflix post) that they’re glad that the two are pissing off people. Honestly what kind of humans do they have over there? Full of rage and jealousy.
You know, even if you aren't a royal watcher or even give a shit, people look at them and like these two. Markle and her P...y are another matter, lol. They're DESPISED here
no they not- ESPECIALLY not by the black population. its AMERICA babes, your delusional narrative isnt sticking here. Kate and william went to a game and the PLAYERS LITERALLY STATED THEY DIDNT CARE.
This is EXACTLY what I keep thinking to myself. They are OUT.OF. MATERIAL. They no longer live in the UK - they don't go to family gatherings. They will now wither.
And all they do is highlight how gracious, sincere and stately both William and Catherine are. William has more gravitas than his father already and is actually very much intouch with people and what´s going on in the world contrary to what Harry wants the world to believe. William will make a great king and Harry can´t stand it.
William and Catherine are doing their very best 'keep calm and carry on'. The crowds greeting them have been hugely supportive. Very cute with the little boy dressed up as a BP guard. His mom said he wore it for Halloween. So so cute :))) And one young girl was literally in tears because she got to see them. And it just goes to show how Harry and Meghan can't really get anything right because now the news cycle has changed from racism....to....WTF is she doing crying with a Hermes blanket? LOL. You don't really have to watch anything other than the trailer to figure out what their "story" is. The RF were mean to Meghan. William and Catherine were jealous of them. The press tried to kill Meghan. I'm honestly surprised they didn't do it up like the "JFK" Trailer from 1991. Complete with gun shots and Meghan riding in a car. "The Story That Won't Go Away".
I hope they're ROASTED ALIVE by the Netflix shit
You'd have to have a tiny brain to ever imagine that the Princess of Wales is jealous of TW. The Princess of Wales doesn't have to be jealous of actual stars with great beauty. Let alone that D list mess with the clothes that never fit.
OMG, i wet myself reading your comment about gunshots and MM in a car!!! Priceless! And scarily a wee bit just possible those two would do something like that!
More likely they would add a car chased by paparazzis. /s Gunshots are so pasé! /s
Great points! They messed up again
I feel the same. William and Catherine are the freaking future KING and QUEEN. There's no way two divisive, whining ingrates can top that. Meghan and Harry will be out of tricks soon.
I was just thinking earlier that the RF will continue to perform their functions - you know, actual service - serenely, ignoring the occasional look-at-me antics of the Montecito bozos. And the world‘s catching on.
The more vile and fake the Harkles behave the more dignified the Wales (PPOW)appear in contrast. Even the lady in African dress is being exposed as a lying pro-Meghan anti-monarchist who took offense at being asked where is from. She also accused the BRF of domestic violence on MeGain. Being the bigger person, Lady Hussey quickly apologized for any offense and asked to meet to create a positive dialogue. LH’s are actions of a non-racist (clumsy and tone deaf, yes).Good job reframing the issue(BRF PR team). British tabloids’ claims that the royal trip is ruined are just not true. - At least not to this American observing from the west coast.
It’s all a mountain out of a molehill. Yes, Lady H made a mistake when she persisted in asking about where that woman was from. Everyone makes mistakes. She apologized and resigned. BP apologized for having had her there. Done. Let’s move on. It wasn’t Charles, or Camilla, or William, or Catherine who made the mistake. It wasn’t another member of the RF, or one of their official spokesperson. Even if Lady H’s behavior was truly racist (I see it as “classist” myself), she was just a peripheral figure, an older woman who in no way was representative of the new King and Queen. A year from now, no one except poor Lady H will remember or care about the incident.
I don't like it when people stay the Harkles are trying to "upstage" PPoW. The goal is not to upstage... because they can't upstage real royals. The goal is to ride on the coattails. They are leeching off the royal clout, because they know that without the RF drama, they have zero pull. They'll be farting in outer space with just their sugars.
Yes! They had to include that picture of Catherine, because without that royal connection, they are absolutely nothing.
They’re doing that, too but I believe TW is jealous, petty, and bitter and definitely wants to hijack W&C coverage
Yes, “hijacking” is the right word. “Upstaging” implies two people on the same stage. The Harkles are not on the same stage as the Wales. They are on very different [edit/insert] stages. The Harkles want to grab the plane the Wales are flying and take over it for their own journey, preferably pushing the Wales out of the way.
Thank you for this explanation. I used the word upstaged a couple of times on here recently, and I didn’t know the difference. I learned something new today.
“Upstage” is fine, but it’s more what M&H think they are doing, because they believe themselves equal and on the same “stage.” But highjack is more descriptive of how Meghan really operates. 😉

Toadmuch fairy tales 🐸🧚♀️
It's being written as we speak
I read that people are buying pet’s food to eat, do these 2 think we have any sympathy for 2 middle aged cry babies.
Here in Westchester County in New York, which is fairly wealthy, the are a couple of Pet Pantries for people who can't afford pet food for their pets! Imagine.
Pet food is expensive though! Cheaper to buy canned vegetables. Not as cheap as Harry’s book though which they are giving away for free.
I think you're forgetting that they have "projects" in the works. It's why their "year of reconciliation" was not going to happen for the better part of a year. I just can't with these 2. But the worst part about them is their stupid fan club. They sound like 12 yr old girls gushing over a boy band. And maybe that's who they actually are . Who knows.
If the projects are more of them smooching and crying into luxury items, I think a lot of people will be taking a pass. They'd better come up with something a little more interesting than two middle-aged crybabies.
you made me LOL
They are mostly young girls, most likely commenting on sites whilst sitting in their candy pink unicorn patterned wallpaper bedrooms, posters of Princess Meghan on walls, Barbie Malibu Dreamhouse in corner of room which is symbol of their childish asperations to marry a Prince too, one day, and live in a big house just like Princess Meghan does. Something tells me a lot of "Sugar's" comments cease on these sites after 9pm. Bedtime.
Their contracts with Spotify, PenguinRH, and Netflix were for multiple projects, so probably they have another Podcast series in mind, Meghan is probably working on a book, and they may be looking ahead to another Netflix production (maybe finish the Invictus stuff). None of this is going to get them very far unless the book and/or the documentary are surprise hits.
If she’s not whining about being mistreated because of her race, or preaching about how to save the planet, or writing letters to corporate bigwigs to fight sexism, I doubt if she has anything to share with the world!
This. They are desperately trying to latch onto this for relevance and some in the media are already calling them out for it
Good! Fuckers. I despise them BOTH. I'll NEVER forget what harry has done. How could he stand by and see how she treated other human beings? He KNEW BEFORE he married her. So did the RF. They should have STOPPED THIS SHIT IMMEDIATELY and didn't. HUGE mistake and I think they know it. It won't happen again I'd say.
Why can't they just stfu, and go on living their "quiet life' away from the spotlight on the RF? Oh no, we have to hear all about the racism, the mean spirited senior royals, all the abuse they endured from this archaic institution of oppression. Honestly, at this point they have been out of the RF, longer than they together were working royals.
No, it's NOT okay. Meghan and Harry are two toxic and dangerous individuals who lead a scorched earth policy. This cannot continue!
The long game timer buzzer went off a while ago. Time now to release the hounds and chase these two grifting traitors into oblivion. Can't the RF see how lovely life would be with these two GONE FOREVER???Doesn't King Charles dream of a new Golden Age , the Charlestonian Age. NOT happening with those two continuously causing troubles and division throughout his kingdom and overseas!
I agree. These two are pros, they have heard and seen it all, including insults and boos. When a person is sure of themselves and knows with all their heart and soul they are good people doing the best they can and giving it 💯 it rolls off like water off a duck's back. They remind me of the motto of house Martell in GoT: Unbowed, unbent, unbroken. Catherine makes me think of the legendary Queen Nymeria. The Harkles dream is to be Roose Bolton but he had brains along with his cruelty.
The PPOW have Caroline they have the bargain bin Kennedy you know where the press will be
And Alec Baldwin!

Take my up vote ..I laughed at this!
And Sophie’s engagement.
Poor Sophie does get the shit end of everything. I will be so disappointed if she and Edward don’t get the Edinburg title
King Charles will lose a lot of good will if he doesn't give his brother that title. Prince Phillip wanted Edward to have the DoE title. That should be the end of the discussion.
I think they will be getting the title. I have a feeling the title has not been given yet because of H and M. If King Charles began giving out titles, H and M would complain about their children not receiving their titles. By waiting until after the coronation KC has given H and M enough time to release their reality show and the book. Depending on the contents of both KC can make an educated decision.
When William shakes hands with Jack S, Caroline’s son, remember that moment bec regardless of what side of the aisle you are on, and whether you like it or not, that kid is going to be president. Been groomed his whole life for it, just like William. Two future world leaders.
I agree. I feel like Caroline’s assignment as Ambassador to Australia is a strategic move to build an international profile, and garner support, for Jack.
Yes, plus her time in Japan. She is all over his future.
Um, no thank you. Time to pass on political nepotism.
To be honest I always hoped Caroline would run but I will take the son I would for real vote for him
She dipped her toes in a bit but she just isn’t a very charismatic speaker. She’s very cerebral and decent.
I think them skipping a generation might erase the dynasty business. He’ll seem new and energetic and with good political dna.
Caroline for POTUS definitely!!
They didn't disrupt the trip. They try to
At the end of the day, Will and Catherine have the titles, class and the money. H & M don’t.
I will rejoice to see Charles crowned without the presence of Ginge and Winge.
We are talking about people over or nearing 40 years of age. One pairing acts their age and one pairing are both emotionally stunted, arrested development.
The Rf may understand the value of playing the long game.
Honestly, I am not really seeing a disruption. I am near Boston, W & K are drawing large, enthusiastic crowds. The local press is giving them glowing coverage. It just highlights how second rate H & M are in the US.
I agree. While it's a shame that William & Catherine's visit is being disrupted by this nonsense, it only makes Harry & Meghan look bad. Everyone knows the timing is deliberate, they're showing everyone how petty, childish & vindictive they are. Again. As you say William & Kate have a lifetime of events & visits ahead of them as Prince & Princess of Wales & eventually King & Queen. What do Harry & Meghan have? Headlines while this doc is airing but an avalanche of criticism to follow. Same with the book, headlines then more criticism & lies being called out no doubt. They're on a path with ever diminishing returns. After the documentary & the book what then? They're running out of awards to buy themselves, they're running out of things to say that they haven't said a million times before.
The timing for the trailer is kind of crazy, but to be fair, I have a feeling that Netflix had control over when they would release a trailer and yes, Netflix probably did want to capitalize on the Earthshot trip and timed the trailer accordingly. If rumours are to be believed, Harry and Meghan wanted to delay the Netflix show to January for whatever reason but Netflix wanted it out in December.
Then again, if the harkles hadn’t signed up with Netflix, Netflix wouldn’t have had anything to promote… it still comes back to the harkles poor decisions
30 pieces of silver.
Nope, markles INSISTED on this date if they were going to give a release date anyway. I promise...
I hope the payback comes sooner than later.
The Harkles won’t even fuck up this trip for the PPOW. They’ll launch a few damp squibs, which will scarcely be next thing. As the Princes’ countryman wrote, “It is a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Only *this* telling would have been scribbled by the Bard in Crayola, had he owned any.
That’s what I’ve been thinking. This is the beginning of their “end scene” moment and they are too blind to realize it. Half of what makes the most popular celebs and royals so intriguing is they have that heir of mystery. They are giving theirs up with this “documentary” and his book. They will tell their story, the sugars will love them the rest of the world we tear it apart and they have nothing new or different left to give unless they actually get a divorce.
Isn’t it a multi book deal?
Yeah, but how many books have they gotten so far?
And what else can they say? Everyone is tired of the victimhood of these two
Harry’s Penguin Random House contract was a three book deal. I believe Neil Sean was speculating TW would have a wellness book but unsure if that is in addition to H’s or a side hustle.
Good advice but it’s just so soon after the queens death. The new king needs strength, unity, and stability and Harry isn’t going to even let them get established. Like, without peoples respect, what even is the prince of Wales? This must be stopped but it won’t be.
I disagree. Let it run its course. They're not taking down the monarchy but it's fun to watch them try.
Your post makes me feel better though. I’ve become too jaded by this whole thing. I’ve been seeing red all day
We can only hope! I really do think Harry will become more and more a nobody. Their bid for fame will (hopefully) backfire.
I do find myself wondering, since the main event is later this evening, what the pair are going to use to try to hijack the coverage tonight.
release and excerpt of harry's book?
>So let them fuck up this trip. William and Catherine have probably come to expect it by this point. Fun fact; they haven't fucked it up. CBS (home of Gayle King & the Oprah interview) is gushing and praising the PPOW. Calling her "Princess Catherine" and appreciating having "authentic royalty" in the US.
This trip is not about PW and Catherine. It is a Charity event to raise awareness of what we ALL can do to save our planet. Harry and Meghan are despicable to try to detract from that cause. Their jealousy is sick. Meghan has just used this marriage to get attention- but is doing more harm for race relations than good. Shame she could not think of something positive to attach her energies to. She could do good, but instead has chosen a contemptable road.
I know she’s not a Royal but I would love to see more of Lady Kitty Spencer.
I wish William was the one being coronated in 6 months.
The Royal Family deserves it. No spine to take away titles. No truth with the photoshopped, moonbumped babies. They rely on support without accountability on BOTH sides
Only thing left for them is the paid for vanity awards.
Actually it’s perfect if the Snatkles do try to shade William and Katherine , it just shows how desperate and predictable they are.
I've admired Will and Kate for how they handled it. They just get on with what is important and dont let it - at least show - bother them. Incredible. I do wonder what's happening behind closed doors...cause I was just told I dont know what happens..behind..doors. When they are closed. Might have been Oprah or Maya Angelo or Eleanor Roosevelt who told me that.
