Or only booked after prince Harry's controversial Private jet trip?

The issue for me isn't Harry flying private jet, they're the royal family so whatever. The issue is how they preach about everyone doing their bit and climate change. They simply can't do that and then fly 4 jets in 2 weeks or whatever!!

PierreBezukov · 22/08/2019 17:51

Will and Kate have flown budget many times before. The press are printing it because of the timing - it"s a perfect followup to Harry and Meghan's sanctimonious statements about the climate, limiting their children, etc. Harry and Meghan brought this on themselves - no one can stand a hypocrite. They are fools to think they can get away with double standards.

The photos of the children (George, Charlotte) don't show much, they are blurry and show only their backs. They were clearly taken by a fellow passenger. I reckon the newspapers knew they'd get away with printing them as it's a positive portrayal of the Cambridges. The Cambridges were flying anyway - they didn't set this up.

How is this mean? You think William is posting selfies of himself on a commercial plane on instagram?

It was published on the UK press so William definitely approved 🤷‍♀️

FGS those pictures haven’t been taken by “the press”, they’re shit quality and more likely taken by another passenger who’s scored £500 off the Fail for flogging the shots.

Meghan is not "very rich". She was on a successful show and did incredibly well, but we are not talking excessive private jet wealth. And regardless does that matter if the issue is environmental?

Hithere12 · 22/08/2019 18:09

people conveniently forget that Megan is very rich in her own right

No she wasn’t 😂 Suits was a tiny show that barely pulled in 1million views an episode. Coronation Street averages 8million an episode and their cast are by no means rich.

TSSDNCOP · 22/08/2019 18:09

Hey, Head of Housekeeping, the posh bloke in Room 500 says can we not wrap his clean shirts in plastic bags tomorrow.

Yeah, noted. Did you see the Love Island final last night?

IcedPurple · 22/08/2019 18:09

The 'Meghan has her own money you know' line has been trotted out by her fanz every single time her extravagance has been criticised. If she'd really been spending her own money on all of these occasions, she'd be on the breadline by now.

TSSDNCOP · 22/08/2019 18:10

she'd be on the breadline by now.

Said her Accountant?

IcedPurple · 22/08/2019 18:12

Said her Accountant?

Said someone who knows that an actress in an ensemble cast on a fairly minor TV show wasn't making the sort of money that runs to custom Givenchy gowns and private jets. Someone with a bit of common sense, in other words.

TSSDNCOP · 22/08/2019 18:13

Or a person who knows the square root of fuck all really, but posts as fact.

IcedPurple · 22/08/2019 18:14

So how many of her 'Suits' co-stars are wearing custom couture and flying by private jet? Was Meghan doing this before she married dimwit?

BertrandRussell · 22/08/2019 18:16

Once again for those who have missed the memo- members of the royal family spend fucktons of money. All of them. Why is this coming as a surprise?

BertrandRussell · 22/08/2019 18:16

“Was Meghan doing this before she married dimwit?”

No. Because she married a very rich man.

TSSDNCOP · 22/08/2019 18:17

No idea, but nor do you, do you? You don’t know anything about the spending of any of the Suits cast. Neither do I. So I don’t go around posting bollocks about it.

IcedPurple · 22/08/2019 18:18

No. Because she married a very rich man.

But he's not actually paying for most of their lifestyle out of his personal wealth, is he?

And anyway, you've proved my point. Pre Haz, Meghan was nowhere near rich enough to afford the lifestyle she enjoys now.

IcedPurple · 22/08/2019 18:20

No idea, but nor do you, do you? You don’t know anything about the spending of any of the Suits cast. Neither do I.

I do have an idea what people on minor cable TV shows earn actually. It's very good money by normal person standards but not anything close to custom couture and private jet standards. Meghan was not living that lifestyle before marriage to dum dum. That's fairly easily proved, so not sure why you're trying to argue the point.

BertrandRussell · 22/08/2019 18:21

“Meghan was nowhere near rich enough to afford the lifestyle she enjoys now“

Of course she wasn’t. Neither was K before she married W. Or indeed P before he married E.What’s your point?

eeksville · 22/08/2019 18:21

I don't believe Megan was massively loaded pre Harry just like I don't believe the party website made multi millions for the Middletons.

lavenderandthyme · 22/08/2019 18:23

Calling Harry dimwit and Dum dum. That’s allowed is it? But any slight criticism of Meghan is racism. Right.
Imagine if anyone called her dimwit or dum dum.
I actually like him a lot and think his heart is in the right place. He’s just making a lot of bad choices PR wise at the moment.

IcedPurple · 22/08/2019 18:23

Of course she wasn’t. Neither was K before she married W. Or indeed P before he married E.What’s your point

Why do the Haz 'n' Megz fanz always rush to whataboutery?

Nobody is claiming that 'K' or 'P' use their own money to pay for stuff. Yet people do make that claim about Megz, constantly. Including right here, a few posts up. That is my point. Which you'd know if you'd bothered to read the thread.

TSSDNCOP · 22/08/2019 18:24

You absolutely don’t, do you?

eeksville · 22/08/2019 18:26

Also William has spoken out about environmental issues & that overpopulation puts enormous pressure on the natural environment. They are all as bad as each other imo.

TSSDNCOP · 22/08/2019 18:28

Tell you what though, let’s hope the Suits cast’s agents negotiated re-run fees, because all the time MM is a member of the RF that show will never be off Netflix.

Hithere12 · 22/08/2019 18:33

Really?! It’s a crap show. Even with the worldwide publicity thanks to MM dating Harry it still didn’t pull in more viewership and us being cancelled.
