The Queen outfoxed them. If they refuse to come because she won't let them have le grande photo op, they look like grifters. They'll get some royal glitter, but no more than other family members who just get to sit in the cathedral.

But having generously allowed them to attend at all, if Harry's memoir trashes the family, he'll look worse.

And, he's been classed with Uncle Andrew.

Well done to the Queen for calling it perfectly.

I think keeping Andrew, Harry and Meghan off the balcony is 100% down to Charles, William and royal advisors. It was initially reported the Queen wanted the whole family on the balcony but Andrew on the balcony could very well bring down the monarchy and Harry and Meghan are too controversial and unpopular in the UK too. So on the balcony will be the Queen, Charles, Camilla, William, Kate, Anne & her husband whose name I forget, Edward, and Sophie. Possibly the Cambridge children too.

by Anonymousreply 35May 6, 2022 4:16 PM

They're only unpopular in the UK because the right wing tabloids - all of them in the UK - keep painting them as monsters. The frothing-at-the-mouth red-faced stories in the Daily Mail and elsewhere from the Royals watchers are really unbelievable and would get the author committed to a psychiatric facility if they were happening elsewhere but in the UK, where elderly Tory royalists lap it up with a spoon. And don't even get me started on Piers Morgan and his one-man crusade to destroy Meghan because she avoided him after learning he was "undesirable".

I hope the Queen overrides them and allows Andrew up there, then they will actually have something real to hyperventilate about.

The public mood turned against Meghan and Harry when Meghan in Africa in front of starving and sexual abused children said no one asked her how she was feeling...then there was all the pontificating about the environment while taking private jets everywhere....then Meghan's expensive taste in close purchased on the taxpayers dime....then there was reports of Meghan being a terrible boss...then the Oprah interview in which almost all their claims were later disprove by the mainstream UK media etc.

Using an old christening picture of Archie is kind of pointedly ridiculous. Don’t any of the working royals have a phone at their house? Couldn’t they pick up the phone and ask H & M for a picture of Archie so they could use a more recent one? Just because someone is no longer a working royal does not mean they are not still your family or no longer exist. The royal family is really terrible at dealing with people they perceive as outsiders. If it was up to them, after Charles and Diana divorced, they were going to act like she no longer had any relation whatsoever to the family, even though she had two young kids with Charles. In any other family, there are exes and relatives who live far away. No one acts like somebody is no longer their relative because of a job or a location, even though they may not like the person. It’s childish.

They should have just acted like H & M were family members who went on to live elsewhere and do something else, not Martians. This is 99% of why these two spend all their time trying to stir up controversy. That’s how they stay relevant.

My guess is: That’s the only photo they own the rights to use.

The only family who *might* have laid eyes on the kids is Eugenie. If she met the kids and was able to photograph them, I’m sure she was forbidden from sharing them.

I’m tempted to say that if the children are being so jealously guarded, they probable haven’t been on any zoom calls with the family at all. It’s possible the only images of the kids they’ve seen are the ones we have. Can you imagine?

R52. It’s not the royal family’s responsibility to update the photo. If Harry and Meghan don’t want current photos of the child publicised, it would be wrong for the royal family to publicise it. On the other hand, if Harry and Meghan are fine with current images being circulated, it’s the responsibility of Harry and Meghan to provide if. If Harry and Meghan don’t care enough to provide photos to his family that is not the royal family’s fault.

On the balcony next to the Queen will be: The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will all join her, as will the Earl and Countess of Wessex and their children Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn.

R49, not sure much of that is true. The UK press was vicious to her. However, they were also vicious to Camilla and Kate, and for a long time---years. They both took it with good grace, toughing it out and carrying on. She whined and called it racist, when she never considered herself black until it was convenient to do so. Brits are as judgmental as Americans. They are especially tough on those who are not good sports, but they developed respect for both Kate and Camilla because of the way they behaved under pressure. Once Meghan started whining and then added more fuel to the flames with her antics of constant demands, poor treatment of staff and lying or exaggerating about others, the British public began to dislike her in large numbers. Of course, those who dislike the monarchy tend to like her as they can use her as one more excuse to get rid of it, but they don't like her for herself..

I don't presume to understand the machinations of the Harkles, but I read somewhere Harry stating that "security details had to be worked out" (or some such thing); I wonder if made that announcement was made with the intention (of stirring up publicity, of course) of holding a gun to Chuck & Will's head to have his demands met, threatening to make a scene, only to have them say (to quote Charlotte) "you're not coming."

Now the real ??? How much lipo, fillers, plastic tweaks, hair 'stensions can she get between now & the Jubbly? If she looks anything like she looked at Invictus she will just die. You know the Sun & especially the Mail will capture, every fat back, side cutlet, skinny leg & face bloat. She will be skewered in real time, in real photos, with loads of English snark. The images will live forever on line to be reposted again & again And Kate will look like the long legged sporty English rose she is on the balcony, in the carriages with the real alpha, not with whingeing, whiny, EDM taping balding Friar Tuck look alike.

Of side note: Meghan needs to pack a few umbrellas. Rotten vegetation will be raining. The English are polite but unforgiving once you slag them off. And boy oh boy she has slagged them off in any way she can.

At least the Queen got the message that it was an affront to the public when she had Andrew the Philanderer walk her to her seat in the Abbey.

Why should the Montecito couple be out on the balcony? That dimwitted prince has openly stated that he considers California "home." A prince of the United Kingdom saying that? Parliament should begin the process of taking away his title of Duke. He can remain by virtue of birth Prince Harry. And his wife will be known as Princess Harry.

It is wrong to put Andrew in the same league with Harry and Meghan. He is a fucking pervert. A sexual predator and a possible Pedo. He has been banned for life. All Harry and Meghan did was drop out. They ought to be treated like Princess Anne's kids and Princess Margaret's. Not working Royals. Period. And there is no reason for Anne or Edward to be on the fucking balcony. If it is about the line of succession then Charles Camilla William and Catherine and their kids. Period. Last time Charles and the Palace courtiers tried this it looked pretty pitiful. That balcony looked empty. Just once more why can't they do it the way The Queen wants it? The way it was when she was calling the shots? She invited whomever she pleased including Kents, Gloucesters, etc. For her it was about the family as she defined it. Inclusive. Fuck it. See, here's the thing. William is the heir, Harry is the spare. As a blood Prince he is still the spare. But Harry was going to have to take a step back according to protocol. And show deference to William. Now that was always going to be a problem with or without Meghan or any other wife. Because it was always going to be a source of fiction for the two brothers.

Regarding outdated photos, in Tina Brown's book, it's actually Harry who is crazy about not having the children photographed. It's not just a Meghan grift (although it probably works in their favor when the time comes). Harry put his foot down when it comes to any public photos of the kids.

I wonder if the Sussexes will use this non-balcony opportunity to make public appearances at the Jubilee with cameras in tow, like they did for that random New York trip. This will give them the opportunity to show them in the streets, shaking hands and kissing babies. Meghan will seize a "People's Princess" moment.

You know, I am recalling when Harry and Meghan first went public and then how, after their engagement was announced they began making public appearances together and she even went out with The Queen. The couple was wildly popular and drew huge crowds. ...and that was a problem. It was a problem for the palace (courtiers) and it was a problem for William, the heir apparent. The Palace was scheduling and planning the roll out of William and Catherine in more prominent roles and Harry's popularity and Meghan's ease were upsetting the Plan. Harry lacked the emotional maturity to dial it back, and Meghan who didn't get why he had to be second, why he had to step back, thought the custom, traditions and protocols were bullshit and unfair to Harry...and herself. Because she loved being popular. When she was schooled on how it has to be, I think that's when she lost her enthusiasm for the notion of being a Duchess. Nobody puts Baby in a corner.

R136. You are correct that it is wrong to put Andrew in the same category as Harry and Meghan Whatever vileness and corruption Andrew has exhibited in his private life, Harry and Meghan’s public behaviour is far worse. Andrew at least never issued a public proclamation asserting his right to unlimited personal enrichment and corruption merely because of his birth. He also never asserted his right to political influence because he was of a higher birth than the rest of the UK In addition he never insulted the British public in a public forum nor did ask publicly that the British public help fund his corruption and political interference. That is why it is important that the Queen be careful about embracing Harry and Meghan publicly. The UK is a democracy. If the Queen endorsed Harry’s behaviour it would call into question the Queen’s commitment to democratic principles.

Andrew is a creep and corrupt in private and therefore has no business on the balcony. Obviously, there is no evidence he is a pedophile but you wanted to say it anyway.

Whether it's technically pedophilia, to be so indiscreet as to have his photo with such a young prostitute (along with the famous pimps) plastered all over the Internet - it's appalling "PR" for the BRF, isn't it?

R173, not necessarily. I feel like the Palace was uncomfortable with the enthusiasm of the crowds. The Palace likes to feel like everything is under control and in their eyes it wasn't. They had this aging Queen and he consort. They had an aging and lackluster Heir apparent in the Prince of Wales and his wife. William as Charles' heir, was being groomed, and had reached an age where it was time for him to step up his game, and begin to take his duties seriously. There was an entire plan around William and Catherine. Even a schedule for how things needed to go over the next 6-12 months or WTF ever.

It's as if there is this glass of water on the table. Nice glass of water, and then someone comes along and puts an alka seltzer tablet into the glass of water and it starts to fizzle and bubble. Hay was the alka seltzer...so to speak. Harry was always the family rock star. And honestly if you look at any truly sensible documentary, he was very much like The Queen's Uncle David. When Edward the 8th was a young prince, fought in WW I and was wildly popular it was well received. But it was also concerning. Because there was a certain distance and formality he lacked for that time.

In the case of Charles' sons, the Palace created it's own monster. They enjoyed the fact that both boys were popular as the became young men. They even turned a blind eye to Harry's messes. But as they got older, it was time to get serious. And the blueprint was always focused on William. They never learn from past disasters. Harry and William both hoped they could continue to do things together. That whole mental health initiative that William, Catherine and Harry worked on together was the moment when it all came to a head. The threesome was unacceptable. The Palace said no. There is only one. The second son must step back. William takes precedence. The households were separated. ( Nothing personal. This is how it is done. With Charles, with Edward the 8th before him and so on.)

And Harry was at loose ends. Because even as Harry developed his own projects and became patron for various causes on his own, there was a feeling that he still overshadowed William. Later, the Palace was concerned Harry and Meghan would overshadow William and Catherine. Add to that that Meghan was outspoken and didn't see why she couldn't express her opinions about all kinds of political and social issues. That was a serious point of concern for the Palace. They asked the Sussexes to step back, dial it down. It was William and Catherine's "time." But Meghan didn't "get" that. And it played right in to Harry's insecurities.

I am not "blaming" the Palace except in the sense that they never learn from past history and are always determined to assert the custom and traditions and believe themselves custodians and protectors of the Crown. At the end of the day, it was the Palace that determined that the Duke of Windsor was to be the model for how to handle Meghan and Harry wanting to step back.. In a way they goaded Harry and since he has always been emotionally volatile, he reacted. I find it all very unfortunate. After all, the Duke of Windsor and his wife were fucking traitors. They were conspiring with the enemy while the country was at war. And a lot of the measures the palace took towards them were with that in mind at the time.

R180, some of that isn't supported by reporting , though. We all know that Harry and Meghan didn't want to "step back." They wanted to be "half in and half out." That's what they said. They wanted to both appear at royal functions and monetize their royal connections. There's no reason why their demand to do that should have been met. I'm aware that other royals use their titles for financial gain, but it's not bluntly announced on the internet as a life goal. And there's no evidence that "the palace" goaded them into doing anything rash. The Sussexes were offered various options for living their lives (including retreating to one of Charles's country properties); nothing seemed to work. They did not even make a formal presentation to Charles about what they wanted, even though he asked them to do so.

The princes were heartthrobs back in the day. I think that Harry benefited from a robust and carefully-controlled PR campaign. I saw him as the fun one (stuffy serious William as the foil). He had a whole image created for him by the pros.

I disagree that they goaded him. I think they just stood aside and let him fail on his own two feet.

Lady Sarah and her children won't be on the balcony, either, and neither will her brother and his kids. There is a published list on the DM of who will be on it and who won't, that comes straight from the Palace. So why keep flogging the dead horse? Wales, Cambridges (including the kids), Wessexes (including their two kids), Duke and Duchess of Kent, Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Princess Alexandra, Princess Anne and her husband.

What would the point be of dragging them all out again for a second balcony appearance three days after the Trooping the Colour? To get the rest of the people that no one gives a flying fuck about out there, and if that includes the Sussexes it has to include Andrew and Bea and Euge, and risk exactly the same booing they didn't want to risk three days earlier?!

They'd undercut the effectiveness of the Trooping the Colour appearance, which is to focus public attention on the Queen, her ending reign, and the future reigns of Charles and William, and the people actively supporting the monarchy.

It sounds mental.

It's going to be, for her, the Trooping the Colour and the service in St Paul's. They may take one huge family picture for the record, and I would expect the Sussexes to be included in that.

But it's not going to be the way it was at the Diamond Jubilee. The others will spread out and attend the concert, beacon lighting's, maybe head to some large street parties . . . But they're not foung to be dragging the Sussexes with M them. I think one giant party is being planned, butbthat will be private and I doubt photogs will be allowed. Even if the Sussexes go to that, they wont find themselves I grinning photos with Willism, Kate, Anne, Charles, and the Queen.

My guess is, the service in St Paul's and if they're lucky, a part in the family photo, maybe also at the concert, just one amongst others

And Harry is due back in Santa Barbara on 3 June for the last leg of the polo challenge.

As with the tiara, they'll get what the Queen gives them.

[quote]That was a serious point of concern for the Palace. They asked the Sussexes to step back, dial it down.

I don't even think I've heard the Sussexes say this - that they were specifically asked to step back/dial it down.

Appreciate the thoughtful comment, though. Myself, I would put Andrew up as the obvious direct comparison to Harry. Not 2022 Andrew but 80s Andrew, dashing playboy military hero younger brother of the future King. In hindsight we see that it was all image-making and PR and that Andrew has likely always been the zero self-awareness prat that he is, but at the time he seems to have been seen pretty much exactly the same as Harry was seen up until a few years ago. The tension between heir and spare is very similar as well, with one unable to see how their second place in the birth order still puts them above 99.99999% of other humans.

R203 - Not a chance. This is either their last chance to make bank on their royal connections while they have a shred of appeal for giants like Netflix, or their hoped for opening to ease themselves back in. Either way, they can't afford NOT to go. The PR look would be so bad it would make the Oprah backlash look tame.

The only way they don't go is if the Queen doesn't make it to 2 June. Then Charles takes over and William steps up with his hand on Charles' shoulder and his mouth in Charles' ear. As Harry was still throwing shade at Charles after the IGs, Charles, expecting Camilla to be dragged in Harry's memoir? William, still livid at how they trashed him and his wife? I don't think so.

The Queen's and a link with her documented by this invite and a couple of photos, be they private or public, with Lili and Archie, is all the Sussexes have left of their royal glitter.

Had it been up to William, the Sussexes wouldn't so much have gotten off the tarmac at Heathrow.

It's now or never. Only the Queen's death will stop them from getting on that plane with those kids and showing up. And they will be careful to stay away from large public events where booing could erupt. They NEED those photos of the Queen holding Lili with Archie next to her for posterity.

Yessir, they need them BAD.

r189 Exactly. It is not disgusting but a natural consequence of their behaviour in the past 2 and a bit years.

The bottom line is they thought their popularity was so great that it was independent of the monarchy, they aimed to become mega rich and part of how they tried to achieve that was by throwing people in his and her family under the bus.That plan is clearly failing.They are millionaires who want to live like billionaires and cant afford too.Only now that the signs are their big hopes and dreams for Megxit and guaranteed riches wont come off do they now want back in in some way.But the truth is they are not very nice people who were prepared to throw both of their families under the pass on the road to becoming mega rich permanent a listers. They do not deserve to be trusted and certainly do not deserve a place on the balcony.

If that interview aired on Netflix, they would have made their money on the H&M. It is said in the article, which confirms BI that I have read that M&H earnings are "inflated", The BI I had read was that they inflated figures to the press to seem more bankable (a lot of people like the Kardashians do this - inflated billionaires).

Things like the upset over Archie's title or the asserting on their Instagram that Harry would always be royal seemed to come from Meghan.

R209, I agree they thought their popularity was independent of the monarchy but throwing the BRF under the bus was not their initial plan. That happened because none of their vague hand-wavey talk about their foundation’s goals did not get any traction with the public. Instead of joining an established cause, they needed to be in charge. They weren’t successful at fundraising though and there was too much publicity about their mansion. People were only interested in them as ex-royals. So they cashed in on that.

Remember when the rumors were that they would live in Africa? I wonder if Harry ever thinks about that.

The timing was very bad; they were throwing a lot of money not just at the Harkles, but also the Obamas while raising rates & cutting down on sharing login/PWs. I love Michelle Obama to death, but there are only so many do-gooder documentaries one can watch.

Video for Netflix during the Jubilee is an interesting angle; after Harry's maneuverings at his grandfather's funeral (to get in a shot behind William in the funeral procession), surely they know that there isn't any trick he won't pull or stunt he won't stoop to to get what he needs to keep his deals going. Probably the only events they'll be allowed in to are the very public/well chronicled events, thereby taking anyway from any "exclusive" angle.

I'm still not entirely convinced they'll show up because I'm guessing that they'll be on a *very* short leash by the BRF & are completely unwelcome by the British public.

Which is typical of the sort of transparent You're Sacked/No, We quit shit their PR too often reeks of.

They were invited to the Obama birthday bash, the Met Gala, the Oscar's . . . But the decided not to go.

There is no one in the Known Universe who doesn't believe that Meghan and Harry would have sold what was left of their souls to get onto that balcony with the kids.

If they're lucky, they'll get into one last huge family photo that the Queen might want given her now tenuous hold on life. Suitably lost and in a side/row amongst Yorks Tindalls Phillips Wessexes and well behind the Cambridges who will be front and centre.

That and appearance at the service in St Paul's and maybe the huge concert are their best likelihood.

They shouldn't have made so obvious how untrustworthy they are so early in the game.

And they will show up, and they aren't getting divorced any time soon. They will likely head home after the service, a couple of private meetings with the family.

1- she should have stayed in the Royal family, that’s akin to winning the lottery for a D-list American actress. Attention just by doing a few ribbon cuttings a year. Endless money from her FIL/tax payers.

2- if she was going to turn on them, she should’ve waited to get more access and thus more dirt. As it stands they really don’t have much left and we’re cut off. She played her hand way too early.

3- she is beyond pretentious. The statements these two release are hysterical with their prose.

Meghan is smarter than Harry, but she totally misjudged the situation. Their causes, them.. it’s all boring. She’s operating under the old celebrity model. That’s dead. Even Diana wouldn’t have had the same international level of attention in today’s world as she did when she was alive.

I have a good friend who’s mom just died. I’ve know both for a few decades and witnessed the mom treating her daughter like crap when she was a teen. The mom let everyone know that she favored her son.

Anyway, there was a lot of drama and currying favor over the years. When the mom died, she pulled a Joan Crawford, leaving everything to her son. And she wrote her own obituary that lambasted the daughter.

It was wild!

My pointy in telling this is that some things can never heal. “They are beloved members of the family” is complete bullshit. When you’re dealing with family members with deep personality disorders—like Meghan and my friend’s mom—the only winning strategy is to keep them at arms length, never trust them and expect nothing but bad behavior.

M/H will never be part of that family again. I sure as hell wouldn’t talk to my brother again if he and his wife went on Oprah and tore into me and my wife.

I see Harry and Meghan going, taking the cameras, going to BRF events, but also creating Sussex events independent of the Royal Family, out in the street, getting their own footage, "Look at the stuffy BRF sequestered on their balcony, while Harry and Meghan are just regular royal folks out with the people".

Meghan also doesn't seem to get that Diana put in 10 years of boring ribbon cutting ceremonies before she divorced and became the global icon she was prior to her death and she stayed very loyal to her patronages. Diana put in the work. For someone so studious of Diana, this is the plan of attack. Become loved first and then break away.

R249 - The problem with Harry and Meghan out in the street with regular people, is that regular people in the UK detest them. They'd really have to stage something with stringent boundaries so that none of those "regular people" could get the boot in. It will be completely artificial and it will show.

At best, they may check in with their remaining personal and nonroyal patronages (her, the Hub Kitchen and Smartworks and maybe a school with lots of black faces); him, Sentebale and Travelyst), and they will do so making sure to get in and out without attracting unpleasant comment, but with photo ops from inside.

But the fact is, they really have to head back to America by the end of 3 June. My guess is that they'll get in and out as swiftly as they can. What they really need are photos of the Queen and Charles with the two kids. Then, an appearance at St Paul's, and why hang around when the polo ponies are calling?

to the person who asked about WOC’s hair suffering from straightening treatments, yes it does. That’s why in the haircare aisle the black hair product section is so full of deep conditioning products and oils. Besides these hair products for restoring moisture they also try to avoid too much shampooing. It’s an endless cycle and ultimately healthier for women just to wear it natural, or braid it and wear a wig over it.

R271 - Those were her best days. Look, not every woman who puts on a swimsuit like that has perfect hour-glass figure. She never had a great body, but she had a good enough one when slim. Two pregnancies and encroaching middle-age really finished her off, physically.

She looked her best at peak "Suits". The nose job helped, the straight hair helped, the dental work helped - but those are common practices in show biz. She looked fine, then.

It's now, when she looks like she's drowning in bronzer, heavy pancake makeup, heavy mascara, and hair that often looks coarse and badly trimmed, that she looks so artificial.

Something happened to her when she married Harry. I'm not sure what, but it was as if she lost all sense of what worked and what didn't.

Her makeup is much heavier these days - it's as if she and Kate, who used to wear much too heavy eye makeup, switched places. Kate a few years ago lightened up the eye makeup and now wears a much lighter, more natural look for daytime; Meghan's eye makeup has gotten so heavy it looks as if it must be hard to keep her eyes open. There are photos of her closeup with eyelash glue globs post-royal marriage.

Markle looked good on Suits because she was being dressed, made up, styled, lit, and directed by professionals whose job it was to make the stars look good. Off that set when she’s her own boss, and thinks she knows best, is where she got herself in trouble. It started with the engagement photo op with the too-big shoes, the Hollywood glamour engagement photo, the disastrous shit-colored hat and accessories she wore as a guest of the RF to their Easter service, right to her wedding with the dress that didn’t fit and her d*ngling t*ndrils.

I'm sure lilibucks has all the worst features of both of them and that is why we haven't seen her yet. It was probably initially for the payday that never came, but I'm wondering now if we will ever see her until she's old enough for surgery.

I'm guessing Markle is plain rude to makeup artists, hairstylists, wardrobe stylists, etc. That's why she sometimes looks janky, clothes ill-fitting. Same with Megan McCain. Her makeup and hairstyles on The View looked like someone was playing jokes on her.

I recall reading comments on articles a while back and this was the reason as to why she looked like shit on her wedding day. She kept changing her mind regarding the style of dress until the last minute, hence why it was so poorly fitted. She did the same on the wedding day and they had to do her hair and makeup several times. All that planning and the best they could do on her wedding day was pull her hair back into a bun with strands flying all over the place.

My brother in law plays polo in the US only for the optics of it. They have their little tournaments around the South, and East Coast. I've been to a few of his games, and it only seems like an excuse to day drink, mingle, and judge the other spectators. I played a few times with him when he was practicing. The only use I had for a polo mallet was getting the tennis balls my dogs pushed under the couch out. Harry playing here is the regular people equivalent of getting to see Janet Jackson at the state fair on an general admission ticket to the fairgrounds.

Meghan's wedding dress was such a let down. I was expecting her to knock it out the park when we got the big reveal. When she did the car ride over, and we only saw the top I was at least hoping the rest of it was going to be beautiful. She stepped out of the car, and looked like she bought off the rack at a clearance sale. He reception gown was more glamorous than the wedding gown.

Harry has really gained a lot of weight. Some men carry the weight in their tits and get moobs as soon as they put on the pounds. Since he got married, but more specifically since he moved to CA, he always looks wrinkled and disheveled. You would think with the beautiful weather, the beach, the polo, the private gym, the in home yoga wellness center, BOTH Harry and Meghan would be in peak physical shape. Lilibux is 1 year next month so the post pregnancy body is no excuse. Meghan is from LA & the industry - Angelina Jolie, her idol, wasn't carrying the weight. I saw a photo of (former) BFF Katherine McPhee who was pregnant at the same time and she looks svelte now. Harry has no excuse.

Meghan is really one of those who benefitted from the nose job. For some people it can transform an ugly duckling into a swan. She has Doria's nose, which is the nose Archie had on those leaked beach photos. Archie also has dark hair, not the vibrant red that is always put out in their saturated Xmas cards.

Also, why couldn't Harry put on sunscreen before leaving the house and why does he have man slathering him with it.

by Anonymousreply 296May 9, 2022 2:11 AM

Harry has gotten uglier with every month since he left. The huge bald spot ringed with frizzy red hair, the scraggly teeth, beady close-set eyes, the harles-Philip nose ever more prominent, and the strangely flabby body - it's kind of sad. And she lost all resemblance to the the pretty actress from the early Suits days. Something about them physically, singly and as a couple, gives off serious mental issues.

Meanwhile, William, taller, broader, and in much better shape, smart enough to go bald and look good with it, with Diana's nose and smile, an increasing air of command and purpose, with the sleek, impeccably groomed smiling wife . . .

Which brother, really, was "trapped"?

by Anonymousreply 297May 9, 2022 11:55 AM

Watching a youtube about the balcony -- and apparently the "Dean" was supposed to walk Queen Elizabeth down the aisle at Philip's memorial, but Andrew elbowed his way past the guy and what could the Queen do? so she went along with Andrew.

So... the family is taking extra precautions with upcoming events that Andrew might take advantage of. Apparently the oaf thinks he can force his way back in.

Harry's lucky there's a royal even more despised than he is (Meghan too, for that matter), not that they've ever appreciated any bit of luck they've ever had.

When I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nigeria, I would hang out at the Polo Club in Kaduna - a lot of wealthy retired generals lived there and they loved their polo. Another perk was that I could get real ice cubes in my G&Ts. I didn't have running water and electricity where I lived so this was a nice break. And I grew up with the "horsey" set riding, so it was great to get a chance to ride.

The food and drink was better in the former French colonies, however. You could get baguettes, cheese and nice wine for cheap.

If Harry and Meghan genuinely wanted to repair their relationship with the RF in any real way, they would have gone to Windsor for a couple weeks or even a month, and spent time with The Queen, privately and spent some time at Highgrove with Charles and Camilla, and then with William, Catherine and the kids away from the spotlight, completely private, and avoided Jubilees and public appearances. They could have made efforts to reconcile with Edward, Sophie and Anne, too. Zara and Harry used to be friends. His betrayal of trust really harmed him in ways he never considered, and he was foolish and selfish. He needs to show remorse and some level of emotional growth.

All this talk of H/M repairing their relationship with the RF is absurd. It's as absurd as the thought that Meghan would be able to repair the relationship with her own family.

H/M told Oprah that: the RF is racist; that Charles "unfairly" cut them off financially and denied their kids royal titles; maligned Kate; insulted William; etc., etc. Then blew off Philip's funeral and apparently tried to allow Netflix to film in palaces without permission. On top of all this, they've made no real effort to correct misstatements (e.g. Charles can't give the kids royal titles until he's king) and left the racism charge hanging in the air, sullying the entire RF because they refused to be specific about who made the statement.

If you were a member of their family, would you be willing to "repair"?

We've all had people like this in our families. They're invited to family functions--usually big things like weddings but not smaller, intimate settings--and we make polite small talk with them for a few minutes. But that's the extent of engagement.

And that will happen here. If they show up for the Jubbly, they'll attend large events where no one has to interact with them much. They'll be forced to the periphery and, most likely, will find an excuse to leave early or miss most events because no one will engage in their drama.

The RF will get to say that they invited them, but they are under no obligation to actually speak to them--other than a few polite words. And that's what's going to happen. They will grey rock them.

That's why it's called a gossip site.

And for ffs retire that ribbon-cutting bullshit.

The Prince's Trust is probably the most successful youth-help organisation on the planet. It became so successful it's just opened an American component in New York City. Idris Elba is a graduate. Ask him what it did for him.

Charles was ahead of the crowd on the environmental issues, brought back flora and fauna to Gloucestershire that had disappeared, brought in organic farming, and established cottage industries that have enriched the residents.

The Royal Foundation headed by William and Kate got $500,000 to the Invictus Games - funny how Harry and Meghan never mention it, innit?

Dr. Barnados, the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, the National Theatre . . . those royal patrons are critical to steering big donors to those places.

Remember what the man said in "Wall Street"? "I just got on the Board of the Natural History Museum: cost me a cool million."

That's how these nonprofits get big donors.

R359 is a refugee from RoyalDish, which banned all discussion of Prince Harry and his wife.

Here is one of her 4-5 comments (over 20 years mind you!). She uses the terms "PR" and such - she is one of those deranged women who hate Megan Markle even though they don't know her...

"R321 You're scolding people for posting about H&M yet you've posted on this thread 7 times already to tell us how not interested you are in the topic of H&M.

If you're not interested in a thread topic then keep scrolling, toots. No need to trot out your tired hall monitor schtick. It's not our fault H&M provide so much material to talk about and laugh at on an almost daily basis.

Or perhaps you could switch to working for a different PR firm - one that doesn't require you to monitor an obscure gossip site at all hours of the day and night."

Hundreds of threads went forward many to 600 posts. Once in a while a really stupid one or one replicating two other threads on the same topic got deleted.

But no matter what that delusional Klan Granny Troll crows, the search and archives record more than two years of what Theresa May would call a "robust debate" on the Sussex Follies has been actively ongoing.

R377 - "In the 2018 New Zealand Census, 5,274 identified as having a Jewish religion."

Hungary had about 2 million Jews before WWII. Now, they have about 90,000. Therefore, their notorious antisemitism must have declined by about 60%, right?

The thing about antisemitism is that it doesn't really hinge on anything real.

Britain's Jewish population is about 250,000 - out of 65 million.

And yet, the rise in antisemitism in Britain is rising alarmingly and exponentially.

Well, *we* think the Oprah interview was a mess so there was a backlash as far as we’re concerned. The Megstans think it was tickety-boo. I don’t think the NYT or WAPO did a fact check after the interview. So for the majority of the US public who don’t give a shit, the interview happened, they dissed the BRF, what’s for dinner?

Oprah is more tuned in than the average American and she had made the decision to go soft on them, not question any of the answers. Maybe she thought the interview would be basically introducing H and MM in their new home to the public after a long Covid shutdown and they would be welcomed, Diana v.2, and she would be the prime mover of that success.

That didn’t happen. Harry, a purported adult, complained that the money tap was turned off. Weirdly, I think one of the biggest issues was not ‘Phillip on his deathbed’ (he could have lingered for weeks and it wouldn’t have gone over any better if it aired after his death) or ‘the BRF is racist’ (everyone assumes that some members are racist) but the: ‘we were really married the day before in the garden’. Immediately the A of C stated that absolutely was not the case and anyway, you can only be married at certain venues. That is something definite Oprah didn’t know she was going to say and wasn’t prepared for it. So it made Oprah look unprepared and foolish and revealed to viewers that MM was willing to embroider the truth so what else was she misrepresenting.

So, Data Loungers, here's a question for you.

I saw the Oprah clip where MM states they were really married in the garden 2-3 days before. "Just the two of us."

But it was Harry who then chimed in with "And the Archbishop of Canterbury".

I have wondered since if MM's original plan was the first statement, trying to set up a tres romantic scene of the pair of them quietly pledging their troth privately with no one else around. (Not easy to disprove.)

But it is Harry (being a dunce), who drags in the Archbishop of Canterbury, which, of course, anyone with a functioning brain would have realized, would result in questions to the AOC who was never going to confirm a pretend, never happened, not with me, bub event.

So, did MM scream at "H" for his chime when they got back to the house on Rattlesnake Ridge?

Or was the AOC comment just part of the Sussex hogwash and planned all along?

The "we were married a few days before in a backyard" seemed like frau branding to me at the time, not like a major lie. She was trying to distance herself from the huge, expensive wedding ("that was just for the world"), both to play down the view of her as a social climber who then looked the gift horse in the mouth and to position them as two besotted lovebirds, content with simplicity.

It was a play for relatability with the American audience.

R434. It was a major lie because it was an attempt to cover a major component of their fraud. There was a lot of anger that they demanded a lavish wedding and left less than two years later (and almost certainly had plans of an eventual departure at the time of the wedding). Meghan thought she was cleverly lying her way out of this scandal. But, as always, in her stupidity she made it worse. Not only were people angry she had scammed her way into a lavish wedding, she essentially told the British people the wedding meant nothing to her. Through her lie she went from looking like a scum bag to looking like an ungrateful scum bag.

Almost all of the lies in the interview were in this vein of “ image management”. She’s aching for more titles for her family but realises she can’t admit that. So she makes up a bunch of convoluted lies about tithes being linked to security.

Hey guys! I commented on this thread or another H/M thread that I recently learned the BetterUp—where Harry “works”—is a sponsor of the nonprofit I work for. It’s a very prestigious nonprofit—and the reason I mention this is because I’ve set a madcap plan in motion that will leverage my organization to snag Price H.

I spoke to our sales team about doing an event on mental health and inviting BetterUp to participate in the event. If they agree (and I’m sure they will), my next move will be to convince BetterUp to include Prince H on the panel

That’s a bit of a long shot, but I’m doing this all for DL in thanks for all DL has done for me!

R453 - WTF are you talking about?!

Harry's and Meghan's problem is how fucking unlikable they are. Even in American polls the Queen and the Cambridges come out ahead.

The BRF bent over backward whilst Harry and Meghan waltzed in already in oppositional stance.

What fucking "category" are you talking about, Pet, dear?

The $30 million wedding? The home renovated on the backs of the taxpayers? The staff that the Palace threw under the bus rather than make an issue of how Meghan treated them?

Go back to Celebitchy.

R453 - Oh, by the way? Andrew isn't allowed on the balcony, either. Nor are Princess Anne's kids, or grandkids, or Andrew's daughters.

This isn't about "equal" you fucking moron. It's about who held up the monarchy and who didn't.

Harry, by the way, has committed High Treason. Yeah, the law is still on the books: attempting to undermine a direct heir to the throne still qualifies as High Treason.

He's not on the balcony because he told lies about the family to the world, attempted to undermine his father and brother, is allegedly bringing out a memoir dragging his father, brother, and father's wife again, and shrieks about a more equal world - but won't give up his unequal title.

They betrayed the family, trashed it, and trashed the institution whilst still milking their membership in it. They put the boot into the old lady whilst Philip was on his deathbed. That's why they're not on the balcony.

And as far as tone deaf goes: go take a look at Meghan's and Harry's poll ratings. Let them onto the balcony and the booing from the crowds below will be heard in outer space.

The BRF know exactly what they're doing.

You're the one that's tone deaf. Report back to the Klan Granny Troll that it didn't work - again.

I can see how Meghan wouldn't know, but Harry should have known this. It was an issue when Charles married Camilla. IIRC, they had wanted to marry in private setting, (a chapel not a garden) at Windsor, but couldn't. If a private setting is used for a wedding, it has to be open to general public. So they married elsewhere (registry office?). But Harry has the intellect of a turnip. He didn't know he's related to the Romanovs. But then to go a drag the AoC into it?

Maybe he won't and just let his PR people do the work? Or another sit-down with a friendly interviewer?

Lady Louise had stribisimus which was corrected with several operations. She had been well educated and neither she nor her brother evidence spectrum issues. The cabal of jealous cro es who hated Mary Donaldson floated the same tumour about Prince Christian when he was a toddler. A bunch of DL hopefuls spread the same rumour about Prince Louis as a baby because of his eyebrows. Years later, it is obvious that neither Prince is "on the spectrum".

The Queen is probably the least vain person in the BRF. FDR hid his crippled legs for the same reason: the necessity for reassurance that the ship of state was in capable hands.

Kate is blessed with an amazing physique. She looks the same today as she did in a skimpy black bikini coming out of the ocean next to William before they were married and he still had hair. She's has three plump babies, she looks nothing like Diana did when her eating disorders became so visible.

You could see Kate's legs through that gold gown at the Bond premiere. They looked anything but anorexic.

Andrew isnt a paedophile. That refers to people who are sexually attracted to children UNDER TWELVE YEARS OLD.

In fact, his accuser was at the age of consent in both NY and London. Bill Clinton and it's of other "distinguished" men partook of Epstein's private jets, stocked with quite a bit more than caviar and 100-year-old Scotch.

Andrew was Giuffre's token revenge. She went after the low-hanging fruit and it worked.

There's plenty to see here that is a matter of record without spreading vicious rumours without legal or reality bases lies.

Kate has never looked happier or more confident. And she's very shortly to step into the title that her long-dead mother-in-law held. Kate's doing fine.

The thing about people like Meghan is that they’re territorial. Her fundamental insecurity bloomed like a nuclear cloud when she wasn’t on her home turf. I think she felt strongest in Toronto. How could she feel strong in a place steeped in her husband’s ancestry? (And I don’t blame her; I’d be intimidated, too!)

Sadly, my mother was very much like this. She had to control every little thing. If she couldn’t, there would be endless drama, pushing buttons until someone cracked.

And Harry gets 15 minutes with the Queen and a few days later is trashing the family again by suggesting the Queen is surrounded by vipers and throws more shade at his father and brother.

Remember when Harry leaked details of private phone conversations to fucking Gayle King who then came out and fucking THREATENED THE WINDORS WITH MORE DIRT IF THE SUSSEX'S "CONCERNS" weren't addressed.

Harry and Meghan are opportunists, They want to exploit their notoriety and connections, and ironically, their proximity to the Royal Family. (Harry is still a member of that family.) This doesn't make them corrupt or unique. Not in the Royal Family or in the public. Harry and Meghan did generate animosity with their indiscreet and deliberately controversial comments about the Family. I am not judging the truth or falsity of their pronouncements. I'm just going on what they said. And they would have had to be unconscious or in a coma to not know how this would affect the family. IMO, They believed so fervently in their own celebrity, and the world audiences they were pandering to, that they never thought it would have consequences. They were wrong. They are incredibly self absorbed, opportunistic, and foolish. Even unlikeable. But not corrupt. No. Andrew put the C in corruption. And lord only knows the levels of corruption and influence peddling that goes on as a matter of common practice behind the scenes with the Palace staff. Charles and his top guys were tip of the iceberg.

R539 that video speaks volumes. She is all attitude. You can see she has no respect for any of it. Now no matter how you or I may feel about them all and these traditions and ceremonies, she married into that family. She knew exactly what she was getting into. I want to see Harry reconcile with his family because he is going to need them.

LOL you know she tore into him later for daring to try to correct her behavior.

by Anonymousreply 543May 14, 2022 4:20 AM

You have to have an official perform the ceremony. R426, I think Harry said it because he knew it was a necessary condition to get married. Otherwise it was just a romantic conversation. Meghan may have thought it could have been implied, but the comment was probably a spontaneous lie so Harry didn't understand the nuance. He was trying to follow her lead and sunk the thing. She's the better liar because he had a whole palace of people protecting him so he didn't really have to develop the skill much.

There are a number of people who have experienced racism who want to believe her stories. I think Oprah and Gayle were 2 of them and there are many in Britain. But these two were savvy enough, once the backlash started and the lies came out, to realize they didn't want to be any part of this. Prior to that, I think they just believed what Meghan and Harry told them, thinking racists often lie or cover up the truth. With this interview, however, Oprah had to do a lot of preparation so she knew what to expect, as someone said. But when others were able to convincingly refute H & M's comments and versions of events, they realized they were giving an audience to con artists. Oprah's had to come to grips with Dr. Oz after he morphed into a Trumpian, so she is getting a big dose of reality as far as grifters go.

Despite her very mixed record of fashion choices, Meghan did choreograph some good "fuck you all, we're happy!" looks during her last public outing in the UK. For example, the picture of them in the rain, under the umbrella, smiling at each other like crazy, came out quite nicely, and she looked good in the blue dress. She also looked good in the red evening dress. It doesn't matter if they were weather or occasion-appropriate--all that matters are the pictures that go around the world. So maybe she's got some good fuck-you looks/outings planned.

But I'm hoping for more train wrecks like the red Carolina Herrera or the green Alexis Carrington number.

R546 - Oprah prepares! I just read her bio and they said absolutely NOTHING is left to chance on her show. Everything is prepared, researched, etc. I agree with the poster that due to their own experiences of racism so desperately wanted to be on Meghan's side. Oprah steered clear, but Gayle is still in the fray. She was a royal commentator recently and she is still very much team Sussex. Gayle is a monster.

There is a huge difference between Oprah preparing and nothing being left to chance. The first is something Oprah has to do. The second is something staff do. It may be incorrect but I heard she watched The Crown in preparation! That is the extent of Oprah’s preparation.

Even immediately after the interview aired she remained very proud of it. That’s how dim she is. It was only the eventual public revulsion at the interview they made her aware it was actually a piece of trash.

A lot of the Festival of Lies with Oprah looked completely rehearsed, including O's OTT reaction to the question about the baby's skin color. Plus there is no way a control freak like Meghan would sit down to an interview without completing vetting and approving the questions. Meghan had a very specific agenda with the interview and nothing was going to detract from that. Notice that Oprah rarely did any follow-up questions to some of the Harkles' biggest whoppers.

Oprah is as greedy and conceited as Meghan is.

It’s practically impossible to find, but Bill Zehme wrote a hilarious article about her in Spy Magazine. Page 30.

It is OLD, but I like it because it was written before she became the “media mogul” she is now. She was only a talk show host back then.

The Harkles are now leaking the story that they th old the Queen they never wanted to be on the balcony at the Platinum Jubilee. Exoress and DM carrying it.

No one, anywher of course, believes them.

Wtf is wrong with these two? It's patently obvious that this is a lame attempt to get in front of a bad story after it's already in the next county?

Frankly, were I them I would have been leery about it, given the risk of booing. Hey, if William, the national anthem, and Abide with Me aren't safe from it (all right, it was Scousers at the FA cup final), the Harkles should be uneasy.

But given Harry's sour face after meeting the Queen, his desperate clinging to his royal title, Meghan flinging it around like confetti, his attempts to get his security status changed based on his "immediacy in the line of succession" - the likelihood that they're uninterested in major photo ops like the balcony is ludicrous.

This is like how they never wanted to bring their kids up in the "goldfish bowl" of Kensington Palace, and were just thrilled to get Frogmore Cottage. Well, we know how thrilled they were with FC, don't we?

Meghan never met a goldfish bowl she didn't like.

Why do they leak stuff that makes them look like they're insulting the intelligence of the rest of us? And two weeks after the fact?

Their PR instincts are truly lousy.

It’s a shame things couldn’t be patched up. It would be nice if Harry and Meghan could be on the balcony—-Meghan wearing her New York City red gown squatting as if she needed the toilet and throwing copies of The Bench to the Crowd; Harry juggling while wearing his Girl Dad shirt and spreading.his cheeks at the end; Archie waving a sign naming the royal racist; and Lilibet being christened live at the center of the balcony. A Platinum Jubiler deserves something special like that.

^^^An explanatory note on the booing at the FA Cup final . . . Scousers have been booing the National Anthem (occassionally not every time) since the 1980s. Strong Labour area and they hated Thatcher deeply- her policies bit the Merseyside badly.

Booing Thatcher herself was problematic as she didn't have a symbolic or personal presence at FA cup finals (the mind boggles at the image), so they began booing the Queen and anthem instead.

I think it's being blown way out of proportion. It's jusr the Scosers, stupid.

TH is total bullshit. The dying Queen, celebrating an historic Jubilee, and she's your grandmother. You have felt close to her. You and your wife claim you talk to her regularly and you have this relationship and if you had the chance to be on that balcony because she asked if you wanted to join her, and you refuse? Please. This is utter and complete bullshit and I doubt very much whether they were asked, and they refused. Personally I think Charles discussed it with Harry weeks ago, and told him how it would be and that was that. Charles probably consulted with the Queen, but he was the Decider.

Tom Sykes in the Daily Beast was writing about the fact Netflix wants footage as close to the Queen as they can get: filming inside Toad Hall, etc. Netlfix apparently is pushing the Harkles to get real, royal footage - that's what they were paid for. Going to be interesting. Unless the Harkles can deliver something unique for Netflix, they're out the door.

by Anonymousreply 578May 15, 2022 4:58 PM

Netflix hired them to get companion pieces to their big hit The Crown. No doubt Harry had promised them all the senior royals would be delighted to take part in tell-all documentaries. Then he and Markle went on Oprah to trash his family. Netflix had to be outraged. What other interest would they have in a D list actress nobody had ever heard of and a lower-level Prince who couldn't graduate from high school? No doubt promising the Queen would take part had been what sealed the deal. It's hard to overestimate how stupid Harry and Meghan are.

R549 100% Added that Gayle King was the one that asked Joe Biden's sister what she would think of Meghan running for President, so despite the rumors, Oprah is still very much milking her connections with H&M. The fact that Gayle asked Biden sister that out of the blue shows that Meghan has major political ambitions though I wonder if she realizes she'll have to drop her title or if she's waiting to dump Harry first then run for office?

On YouTube I watched a Brit documentary on Beatrice and Eugenie. I hadn't realized how the Brit tabs had constantly attacked them for years. Meghan got nothing compared to all the shit they got. You could kind of understand why Eugenie would sympathize with Meghan. And Fergie and Andrew have been relentlessly attacked for decades. Andrew threw a hissy fit when it was decided B & E wouldn't be working royals and the government refused to pay for their security detail. There had been massive attacks in the press about how B & E used their security people as chauffeurs and lackeys, dragging them out of seedy nightclubs where they used to go with Prince Harry.

Basically, Harry is copying Andrew who originally insisted his daughters had to be HRHs, working royals, getting the government paying for their security. And Meghan is copying Fergie who fled to America to make a buck off her royal connections. Not exactly a great celebrity role model.

Bea came across as dumb as shit but nice. Eugenie appears to be a real little schemer, insisting she have as big a wedding as William and Harry had.

I might be missing something here, but it seems Netflix has only themselves to blame for this fiasco. H&M threw Netflix under the bus by allowing CBS to broadcast the Oprah interview. Harry, the same with NBC with the post Invictus games interview. What kind of contract did they sign? Do we have any confirmation of the actual advance amount? If it didn't state that Netflix would be their only source of any broadcast information, who can blame them? They're desperate for and bent on maximum publicity.

R587 I think we can safely assume that Netflix has now figured out that Harry and Meghan fucked them over. The only thing they have to sell is dirt about the royal family and they've been handing that out to all and sundry since the Oprah interview. Spotify had to take over the only podcast Meghan produced because it was full of plagiarized comments without attribution. Those two were really not ready for primetime.

They don't need more working royals they need a more compact monarchy like the Danes and the Swedes and the Norwegians.

The BRF aren't going to let the Harkles get shit for Netflix. If Harry told them that, he's either dumber than even we thought or a pathological liar.

Meghan running for president with not an iota of experience, a closet full of skeletons, and a royal title, is, again, symptoms either of clinical mental illness, or more evidence of the death-wish of the Democratic Party.

I don't believe any of it. Biden should tell his sister to shut it, the party is in enough trouble as it is.
