I am pleased that Harry and Meghan are making a success of things.

It’s been such an eventful year for everyone with uncertainty and being pulled out of our normal way of life. It’s good to see people who left what might be considered a “golden cage” and find a way to fly.

It gives me hope and confidence that even though we may not have connections and gorgeous looks, we can step out and do things differently and still be ok

They're the most influential pair of grifters in the world.

Who could resist listening?

Happyforthem they really are brilliant. I had a little operation a while ago and the consultant said my colon was very clear 'for a woman'. High praise indeed 😂

Happyforthem · 16/12/2020 19:54

😄 I just ordered them off Amazon. That’s a compliment! Are women’s colons more icky then mens?
How long have you been taking these...their blurb says they are effective in just 7 days

It's the original sin of Eve, @OP. The sinful ick gets everywhere, inside and out and in the end your womb ends up pushed into your brain.

Saint M will help us though with her holy podcasts.

Such as?

So far it seems to be mainly inspirational messages that miss.

He’s very well thought of in the military

Until he dumped them

Happyforthem · 16/12/2020 20:32

Well. Am I the only one who didn’t know this 😲

“In addition to a slower emptying stomach, the colon also empties more slowly in women than in men. Additionally, a woman's colon is physically longer than a man's and is also located in the same place as the female reproductive system. In contrast, a man's colon is found on top of the abdomen.“

I cringed a bit at H's 'Ladies first'.

My DH is a spy and he says that they are secretly working on a top secret project to build bridges between MI6 and the Pentagon.

I find this completely believable as (a) my DH never lies, even when he's out late and come home reeking of women's scent, because spy reasons, and (b) the Queen knows Daniel Craig.

Frownette · 16/12/2020 20:47

Our colons must be considered :::

I am grateful HM are taking care of ours.

LittleBearPad · 16/12/2020 20:48

Say no more Jamie. It’s all been an elaborate espionage ruse.

with added gut health advice

Arthersleep · 16/12/2020 21:37

@Twinkie01

I bet that your colon wasn't as clean as M's (yes that one). Her head is so far up her own arse that she's able to give it a little clean every day (using organic ingredients and a natural organic loofa).

Arthersleep · 16/12/2020 21:56

Mind you, in fairness, all those vegan lattes are perfect for cleansing the gut after all that grilled meat.

SheldonesqueIsUnwell · 16/12/2020 22:09

You wicked (but very funny) B’stard that you are arthersleep Grin

Away and wash your mouth out with organic cabbage water or something 🥬

CatholicKidston · 17/12/2020 00:24

If Meghan was chocolate she would eat herself. Harry's just a bit of a fanny.

SheldonesqueIsUnwell · 17/12/2020 03:34

Surely she would only eat herself if the cocoa beans were harvested by fairies, fermented under sacks made of unicorn hair and dried in the breaths of baby dragons.

I think Hal might qualify as being a lot more than just ‘a bit’ of a fanny.

DateLoaf · 17/12/2020 03:52

What's going on here? Meghan's PR is targeting Mumsnet?

^ This. So blatantly. Just buy advertising space next time..Hmm

shamalidacdak · 17/12/2020 03:56

Jesus wept. Who gives a shiny shite about either of them?

BilboBercow · 17/12/2020 04:08

It's funny that people criticise them for being funded by Charlie but are also criticise them for doing what they essentially said they wanted to do, which is work towards being self sufficient.

Frownette · 17/12/2020 04:19

I think it's because they're perceived as receiving vast amounts of money for doing very little, first with the royal family and now with their netflix/spotify deals

Mummyoflittledragon · 17/12/2020 04:25

@Happyforthem

Leaving toxic environments can be hard, and they have done it.

With a message of kindness and hope. Sure, they have benefitted from connections. But these open doors, ultimately to ‘seal the deal’ in the US you have to impress and deliver.

It is not like they can sit back and some elves will magically produce great shows. They will need to be hands on in managing the team and talent.

To the op who said they will be ‘spoon-fed’, that’s not how US corporations work. It isn’t a cushy board job, it’s delivering a creative product that is in touch with their audience and the times.

I think they will do a good job. Especially if they have advisors who will provide them steer.

And being a success doesn’t mean making loads of money. It means understanding who you are, and letting go of toxic environments so you can thrive instead of trying to simply fit in. That’s relatable to many of us.

What? These two are toxic. Far more toxic than the RF.

I’m struggling to follow that you don’t like the royal family yet you are singing the praises of two royals monopolising on their royal connections.

I saw a snippet of their podcast and had a wtf moment. I later read on here Pier Morgan said it sounded like a spoof / parody. This summed up my feelings on hearing them. I was genuinely shocked. Seeing them was a rl spitting image moment.

Frownette · 17/12/2020 04:31

They don't seem to show any humility about how fortunate they are, as if it is their due entitlement, but then lecture others
