Harry and Meghan Resigning (Part Two)

[TheMustressMhor]

Following on from the previous thread, someone asked for another to be created.

Here it is.

Shameless and crass. What was he thinking?!

It was cringeworthy to watch. It worked though! And to be fair, it’s nice that she’s donating the fee to charity.

It must be very, very embarrassing to be part of the Royal family at the moment. I don't blame them one bit. I also don't care what they do.

Are we moving on to a third thread?

We are nearly at 1000 posts. Are we having another thread?

@anonacfr. It'll be easy to find. He tells the CEO Meghan does voiceover work. It's cringeworthy. It's at the Lion King Premier

I would also get my kids as far away from Prince Andrew and the other paedophiles as possible.

She's donating the fee to charity as she can't do paid work right now.

And I think no one is surprised they are stepping back, it's stepping back to be a celeb and cash in that's the surprise.

Last year I watched him interviewed and he said their lives work would be in Africa. And yet here we are, they are moving to Canada and going on the celeb circuit to earn as much as possible

Just like they went on about environmental issues then took private jets to Elton johns island.

I think the reason Meghan is being blamed is because there is no way Harry would have quit to be a celeb and cash in on his position. He may have quit, but it would never have been to be a celebrity and make as much money as possible.

I think people underestimate 'culture shock' when a person moves from one country to another. Having done it myself once and then returned to the UK 10 years later, only to find myself going through 'reverse culture shock', it does take about 2 years to settle a bit and another two or three before the new country really is home. At first it's all new and great, then after 6 months to a year, you start to notice the things which aren't quite as good or comfortable as they were in your home country, then you spend a year or so being really angry and loathing it, before you start to accept it for its flaws and start trying to find the good in it.

Sadly, MM has given up at the angry loathing stage. Now, of course, Harry's going to have to go through the whole thing if he moves to Canada.

Perhaps that's where their advisors and therapists went wrong - no-one thought to help her with this part because in the Royal family, they've not had to deal with it before. Well, Phillip did, but he's old school so won't have much truck with anything except put up and shut up.

A lot of the examples being shared are from the Daily Fail. What if the silver lining on this dark cloud is that the tabloid style of reporting moves out of the dark ages. Imagine a tabloid press that doesn't print sexist/ racist/untrue stories. I'm all for an easy read and/or probing journalism but if anything this whole sorry episode has highlighted is that the absolute codswallop that has been printed is damaging to a whole host of women. How can we move forward from that in the same way as other countries do? There's somebody at the Daily Fail and others writing all this garbage and there's someone paying them to do it .. there the ones with their hands up the puppet's bum .
I hope so. We pay for the Royals, so the least they Can do is provide us with a bit of entertainment now and again, but the Mail and it's racist and sexist agenda, baiting its more knuckle dragging readers into clicking onto its website to increase their ad revenue is nasty and irresponsible. They make up open lies about anyone they think will get clicks, not just the Royals. Fair enough, everyone knows they are not a trustworthy news source but their antics will lead generally to less press freedom as eventually all journalism is tarred with the same brush. As an aside, I can't imagine they pay much for the poorly written garbage on their website!

Dong haha!

The headlines were of the emotional sort ; ' I can't put my arm round my brother anymore'

That’s The Times front page too. Bradby should just stfu, he’s throwing petrol on the fire.

That is the new thread, by the way.

Just in case someone thinks of something else to say.

The RF are having crisis talks today.

Agree @LotteLupin.

It's sad. I'd like to ask what does it take for people to see this match was not well done? Before the wedding some people (myself included) expressed concern about the speed of the marriage and the match itself about M, her reported penchant for cutting people out of her life when ostensibly no longer important and perceived as 'negative' by her. There was an ex best friend - one could say that was bitchy and motivated by jealousy -, but then there were others. Then there was the glaring fact that H never even met M father despite them being on speaking terms by phone. No olive branch extended to her decent family members or attempt to bury the hatchet. Few non-celebrity friends and the inclusion of famous individuals (oprah) she had no ties to. Only her mother present, and her flown in last minute. It painted a picture of a person who tightly controls her social circle but also likes friends who open doors.

I remember when the Father didn't turn up for the wedding and she issued a statement someone said: mark my words the statement means she'll cut him off completely now. And even I thought that was being nasty and defended her, but then it turned out to be right!

Had anyone said at the time of the wedding: 'PH will be alienated from his family and gone from the UK in just over a year', they would have been shouted down and accused of being racist and the new buzz word 'hating'

Yet here we are. No one could have imagined it would be this quick. But apparently it's still just people hating or the RF fault, or the press' fault or the racist people of Britains fault and nothing to actually do with them

I have to say that although I was quite sure that this would happen I am very surprised by how fast it has been.

They should never have got married so quickly. If she’d had the chance to sample the boring monotonous hand shaking for any length of time she’d have probably been off like a shot. It all reads like she’s totally isolated Harry from friends and family and possibly given him an ultimatum. Now she’s got the grand prize of Harry’s child, she was always going to get her own way. If a man were seen to be behaving in that way it would be classed as coercive and controlling behaviour.

Of course we don’t really know what’s going on. I’m finding it fascinating. I do feel sorry for Harry. I don’t think you can underestimate the damage of losing your mother at such a tender age.

Actually, the Crisis Talks are tomorrow.

I totally agree having also left the uk for around 10 years. Dh and I moved regularly. I had the 6 months of loving it, then being homesick for the last place, then about 3 years later the urge to move on. It actually took me a lot more than a couple of years to settle in the uk. More like double. But still, I stuck it out for my family.

And yes, another thread please. This has been very interesting. I missed the first one before it was deleted.

I don’t think you can underestimate the damage of losing your mother at such a tender age.

While that certainly explains some of PH's behaviour I am getting tired of seeing it trotted out as an apology for whatever he does later in life.

Just watched the video of Harry touting Meghan for voiceover work. Bob Iger looks so uncomfortable

As the partner of an actor - I have to admit I'd do the same

@Mummyoflittledragon

There was a 1000 post first thread in this series which was not deleted.

New thread
HERE

I'm surprised that we got to 1000 posts and still have an appetite for a third thread.
