Fair play to them both and also fair play on not taking the pretty snipey royal statement lying down. You'd think Buckingham palace would have more important things to worry about with Philip in hospital but again they're most worried about their image over everything.

Does no-one think it odd that Meghan's personal wedding guests, seated at the front of the church, were Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney?! People she didn't know well. To me it says everything about what her plan was from the start

Genuine question - how do you know they weren't friends she knew?
Meghan was famous in America in her own right before marrying Harry.

Roussette · 19/02/2021 20:57

I honestly don't see how anyone can truly support this couple anymore

Many do. So just don't discount all those that do. You may not, fair enough

I think we will look back in years to come and think they got it right. The RF is going to change like it or not.

And as for the royal guests. It has been dispelled on here or on the other thread more than once.

Interested in this thread?

@Mockolate that was *comms sorry. That comms is self inflicted, they will have a hard time getting any charity in the UK to want to work with them. Imagine the liability. I would stay way clear. The remaining ones will drop like flies or disappear in time. What a disaster. Whoever was advising them should be fired. I want to believe it was not their doing, for their own sake..... but somehow I doubt it, too much water under the bridge.

Roussette · 19/02/2021 20:58

This in spades. They have to keep us in line and put out the message they want us to adhere to.
Times they are a'changing (in the words of Bob Dylan)

Corona
I think you will be (un)pleasantly surprised. I don't think like that at all

Coronateachingagain · 19/02/2021 21:00

@Plutoh Harry will certainly miss the boondoggles of flying home for free for events. No more 🤷‍♀️and marketing costs going up.

Anyways I can see now they will write off the UK as a target market after this fiasco.

Plutoh · 19/02/2021 21:01

She had met Oprah once and hadn't met Clooney at the time of the wedding according to her and George. I wouldn't say she was particularly well known in the US, but if I was getting married to a royal which was to be beamed around the world, I'd probably feel the pressure to get some well known faces on board amongst the sea of Harry's famous guests! I liked her in suits though, if she was interested in acting it would have been good to see her forge out a career; but I guess that would have only worked if Harry left before they married.

DenisetheMenace · 19/02/2021 21:03

“Support this couple”?!

This is a totally new world to me 🤯

How do people know who they are/are not friendly with?

Why would anyone care?

Coronateachingagain · 19/02/2021 21:04

Well said @somethingonthecarpet . It is just a PR disaster!!
It's so bad I feel for them - gross mistake, and they want to take over the world 😂 without understanding the long game.

Roussette · 19/02/2021 21:06

Where have they said they want to take over the world? Missed that one!

gottakeeponmovin · 19/02/2021 21:06

I suprised anyone cares

Quirrelsotherface · 19/02/2021 21:09

So it's not strange at all that at the very front of the church, where family sit, Meghan had slebs who, it is well documented, she didn't know. Even if she did know them, are they really that close, to be sat at the front.

Harry's 'famous' guests at the front of the church were his family, dear.

I just think MN is hypocritical on this subject. If this was an AIBU 'strange behaviour of my SIL' or such, everyone here would be screaming 'narc'.

Yep, could have just said that 😁

Coronateachingagain · 19/02/2021 21:12

Oh well @Roussette, 🙄😍 you very well know what I mean. Punch above your weight, do you like that better 😁
They are basically hopeless. At this point, they are in so much trouble their PR team must be pulling their hairs out. All change!
I really like how hard you try, I wonder why!

Roussette · 19/02/2021 21:16

Lol. Such a sweeping statement, that's all.

I totally disagree with them being in so much trouble.

There might be a major gnashing of teeth on SM when they actually make a success of what they're intending to do. After covid of course.

Me trying hard and you wondering why..... take this from me... it's what I've said a gazillion times on here. I'm actually indifferent to them believe it or not BUT they are treated unfairly compared to the rest of the royals who do worse and have chosen to protect the brand for various reasons I won't go in to now. I don't like bullying. I don't like injustice.
I'm not Meghan or a friend of hers lol

PretendSpeedGun · 19/02/2021 21:20

They had the world at that feet and they have exchanged it for fleeting Hollywood celebrity. Madness. This won't end well

Mummy195 · 19/02/2021 21:21

That story was squashed by The Clooneys rep from the get go.

It's weird that it was supposedly started by Bojo' sister Rachel, as 'there's a rumour going around' and she wrote an article for about it which all the other new agents picked up.

Lies about H&M have always been a lucrative side gig.

Roussette · 19/02/2021 21:22

They had the world at that feet and they have exchanged it for fleeting Hollywood celebrity

And happiness, and being masters of their own destiny?

Sorry, really don’t like to be rude, but this is becoming dafter by the minute.
WTAF wants “the world at their feet” when they can have a committed relationship with a partner they love deeply and a happy, balanced family?

This thread is disturbing. So many people vicariously living their lives.

Mockolate · 19/02/2021 21:26

Grin These type of threads make me laugh. You wonder why? (Maybe people have different opinions?) But no, they're either a personal mate, out with a "personal agenda" or whatever lol.

Source? Not seen that?
So she has friends at the front of the church.
So what.
If she's not close to one side of her family, why would she not have friends sat there instead if didn't quite fill it?

stairway · 19/02/2021 21:29

They can be masters of their own destiny as long as it doesn’t involve damaging the royal brand. Which is obviously what the Queen is worried about. The problem is without the royal connection, Meghan is just a former soap actress and Harry is just a loveable prat.

Port1aCastis · 19/02/2021 21:33

Well being married with a child and another on the way counts as happiness in my book and maybe that's all that wanted who knows, as I dont I wont speculate but I hope all the media and online bullshit dies down soon.
Just wondering if this so called news is covering up something else

Quirrelsotherface · 19/02/2021 21:34

Ask Meghan?

Roussette · 19/02/2021 21:35
