Stop all the misogynistic rot about the temptress woman ensnaring poor Harry

longwayoff · 08/03/2021 20:54

Well, at least our royals are behaving like proper royal families again, sulking and feuding. Plotting and undermining one another. Resenting both parents, children and siblings together with assorted relatives by marriage. Much more like it rather than the suburban family image- ooh they're just like us - that's been foisted on us since Mrs Simpson nicked our king and scared the horses. Bring on the pikes and lances.

[quote SunlessSea]@Roussette you seem a little over invested. There’s no need to be rude to me. I’ve read these threads over the last couple of years as it’s been interesting to watch it all unfold. First time I’ve commented. But I have noticed your constant presence on every thread and just wondered.[/quote]
Bingo.
'you seem overinvested'
When they've got no sensible argument they start with the personal attacks.

Yep. There's plenty of this going on since MN allowed M&H threads again.

@EYProvider

It’s John and Yoko all over again.

A narcissistic, manipulative, self-promoting opportunist gets her claws into a vulnerable, child-like man, turns him against his family and friends, moves him halfway across the world, isolating him from anyone who loves him and might be able to help him and then gets herself pregnant to seal the deal.

Oh, and makes sure to play the race card lest anyone should dare call her out for what she is.

Poor Harry. Just like John he will find there is no way back. His wife has made sure of it.

Jesus do people really think like this? It's a bit basic isn't it?

PersimmonTree · 08/03/2021 20:58

@GCAcademic. Not a great comparison. John Lennon was a wife-beating, drug-taking philanderer, so makes a pretty implausible victim.

Petitmum · 08/03/2021 21:01

I just think it's sad to see a family so broken.............

Dugee · 08/03/2021 21:02

@LolaSmiles

I think the severity of the accusations are unprecedented for a senior royal (I maybe wrong but I can't think of any), so it's plausible that the press are also nervous about covering it. I hadn't thought about that. That's a good point.

I've perhaps been too suspicious of how close some media people are to those with money/influence to see the more reasonable consideration, that if they report or speculate then any action involving him could collapse.

I think there is something to be said for your suspicions too. To the point that we'll probably never find out the whole truth.
Pastanred · 08/03/2021 21:13

I voted team Windsor but having just watched it I’ve compeltely switched

Harry was very convincing throughout I thought

HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee · 08/03/2021 21:14

John lennon had alcohol issues, opiate issues, He beat up his girlfriends frequently a perpetrator of DV. He abandoned his wife & son.

Do not hold up a deeply flawed man who hit women as some delicate and ethereal man who was ruined by a woman

pourmeanotherglass · 08/03/2021 21:15

Team Republic

SunlessSea · 08/03/2021 21:18

Hmmmmm, not a personal attack, just an observation. I think Rousette attacked back, don’t you? In terms of a sensible argument, both of them seem to be completely self absorbed with no awareness of anything outside of their bubble. They speak about empathy but don’t appear to possess a lot of it

twelly · 08/03/2021 21:22

Watching the interview now I think the snide and bullying towards the duchess of Cambridge is spiteful

Jealousy doesn’t look good on Meghan
EYProvider · 08/03/2021 21:23

@HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee - Yes, and so did Yoko.

the80sweregreat · 08/03/2021 21:24

I love how Harry was more interested in the chicks than the ' we had two weddings ' bit! He barely looked up.

georgarina · 08/03/2021 21:26

Team Windsor

Imagine having the nerve to complain about not being paid or having a title once you leave your job and move to a different country.

Then smearing the RF.

So so pathetic and immature, like spoiled kids.

ChickenSoupForTheHmm · 08/03/2021 21:30

This is bloody appalling even worse than I expected ‘poor me’ doesn’t play out as effectively during a pandemic

HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee · 08/03/2021 21:33

@EY don’t make sweeping complementary comments about deeply flawed celebs choosing to ignore their drug use,domestic violence,and alcohol issues. As far as I’m aware Ms Ono was not a habitual perpetrator of domestic violence, John Lennon was. He discussed it extensively and openly after seeking counselling and when he was reflecting upon the dysfunction and abandonment issues in his own childhood. Ms Ono didn’t make John Lennon troubled, he was already troubled when he met her

HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee · 08/03/2021 21:35

smearing the RF I think you’ll find Andrew’s brought
monarchy into disrepute with salacious behaviour and choice of friend

donewithitalltodayandxmas · 08/03/2021 21:36

@Sprining you can make allegations but you have to have proof for it to stand up
Why could Harry not get her help or when she went back to usa ,why not seek it quietly whilst there ?
We have one side and likely all we will have
