Sorry it's a harry one

[SuperSuperCold]

Just getting a bit pissed off with hypocritical people lately and turn on twitter to find it full of harry and Megan, which got me directing my annoyance at hypocrites to Harry.

I did used to love the guy, and no hate from me here, but what I can't understand is:

1. The boy (man?) hates the press apparently, yet is in the media every second of his own choosing

1. He didn't want the press to use Diana for media gains and money making. Now his new netflix documentary appears to be going to do just that, judging by the trailor (which has already exploited Diana for clicks without the documentary even being out yet)

1. The man professes the royal family are all racist, but HE is the one who wore a nazi uniform, black faced himself, and has used racial slurs to many. (I don't think any of the other royals have gone so far as to dress up as a Nazi have they?)

Sorry for doing another Harry and megs thread, but the hypocrisy has really got to me today for some reason! (maybe PMT!)

If you r fed up with Harry threads, feel to coment on what other people you know have done hypocritical things that drive your nuts!! No need to mention Harry or Megan!

You think criticising daddy for not giving you more money is ‘nice’?

I just don't see it as any worse than Charles calling his parents emotionally distant & harsh. Blabbing in interviews & books is normal for royals.

Well I think it’s one of the worst qualities a person could have (being a murderer or abusive aside of course). I do not like being preached at about the environment from 2 people who spend half their lives on a private jet. I don’t want to what lectures about poverty from one of the richest men in the world. Like the vast majority of people when they ‘stepped back’ I thought “don’t blame them really”. And would have an opinion had they quietly went to the US and did the odd PA kissing babies and cutting ribbons. However they have chosen to spend their career lecturing us all about racism (a family with a long history of the British Empire colonising half the world - perfect person to speak about this really). I don’t like people who can’t hold a mirror up to themselves.

@LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet I think you are confusing my posts. Of course you can write whatever you want on threads. But I find it fascinating as I said. What is it that gets so under your skin? Why devote such headspace to people that upset you?

lol, there is a bit of a gulf between murderer & hypocrite 😆

So you dislike William then too?

this is brilliant

Eh? You don’t see the difference?

Charles had a shit childhood where his parents were absent and he was sent to a boarding school against his will where he was bullied, and they kept him there. People with money can still have awful childhoods. He called them ‘emotionally distant’ - hardly a surprising or salacious revelation.

Harry is a millionaire in his own right and sulked on national TV, in his Armani suit, in his multi million dollar mansion and moaned that daddy cut him off financially once he effectively quit his job. To recap - an almost 40yo millionaire moaning daddy isn’t providing any more cash for him.

You cannot possible think the two are the same?

I can ask you the same - for all the moaning about the H&M bashing there as many sycophantic apologists ready to jump to a racist’s defence.

What is it about the H&M constructive criticism ‘bashing’ that gets under your skin??

Spot on.

ol, there is a bit of a gulf between murderer & hypocrite

I agree but I was anticipating “What you don’t find being a child abuser being the worst type of person???!??!!” Type comments

So you dislike William then too?

William doesn’t tell me to make more environmentally friendly choices. They also travel coach class on Ryanair frequently unlike H&M who reckon they’re too famous.

this is brilliant

I think the words you are looking for is ‘you are’ not ‘this is’ 😆

@doorheckk

Can't make up my mind personally
When's his bare all netflix show coming out so I can decide?

I think he would be a great person to speak about this if there was a shred of self-reflection, the slightest sliver of 'I did this and with what I know now I realise that XYZ'

I think the most powerful educators are those who realise their mistakes and openly admit them and use them to connect with and educate others.

e.g. I called someone a p**i thinking it was funny/affectionate/whatever. I now realise that it was demeaning and he had no power to object, and it devalued and demeaned others of the same heritage. Further, I recognise that my huge wealth was built on dispossessing others, especially those seen as 'lesser' because of the colour of their skin. I will be donating x% of my inherited wealth to these organisations to support the work they do in tackling the effects of this.

I would have huge respect for someone who would stand up and say that. It would be far more powerful than limiting your complaints about racism to situations where you and your nearest and dearest are the victim of racism.

But that does mean facing and owning up to your own mistakes and your own privilege, instead of blaming/criticising others and complaining about your 'lack' of money

You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off...👏

As a sad frequenter of these threads the uber royalists use Catherine not Kate (with an imaginary curtsy )and refer to them as the Harkles along with some venomous commentary.

You missed out that they preach green yet jet all over the place op. Hypocritical is certainly a fair adjective for them.

Round of applause

@Sigma33 absolutely spot on. It’s such a shame that he missed an excellent opportunity

My DC are mixed race and whilst we have been very lucky to have experienced minimal racist comments (there’s still time they’re only 5 & 9) it genuinely breaks my heart that there are so many fucking arseholes out there who will tie themselves in knots to excuse racist words like P**I and dressing up as Nazis and who don’t think people preaching about racism should even attempt to speak about their own racist actions. It would be such a win for POC such as my children to be able to see privileged white men owning their fuck ups and misunderstandings around race and acknowledging how it makes people feel - not whining that someone may or may not have said something potentially unsavoury to a loved one and that’s only when they started giving a shit themselves

But Catherine is her name and the name she uses for herself. How is that being an ‘Uber Royalist’

And his mother was declared Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem for protecting Jews in Athens during the Second World War at the risk of her life.

@LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet

"William doesn’t tell me to make more environmentally friendly choices. "

seriously? your arms must be hurting from all that reaching!

I think

If only....

And Meghan was smart enough to know she doesn't have to put up with the British public, who as we have seen are in large numbers bigots, racists, and idiots.

Also to pick up on a PP - where is the evidence that the Queen Mother was a Nazi sympathiser?

Bit if a difference in dressing up as a nazi to film a historical war film and dressing up for as a nazi for fancy dress. The latter, at best is in bad taste, at worst it is racist. This coupled with him calling someone a p* and telling someone that they didn't sound like a black person makes him a hypocrite.

Here’s a thought - you could maybe answer with an actual point rather than these yawntastic smart arse passive aggressive responses??

Which is exactly why no one could blame them when they decide to step back.

Half of Shakespeare majors on that very point. But back in t'day Kings had to earn their right to rule or be deposed probably violently. In debased modern currency the Sussesexes are doing just that.

“Cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'”

Oh yes in t’olden days someone would have found a field and they would have fought it out! Andrew would have got stuck in too of course, and probably a random cousin with a tenuous link to the throne. Far more grey areas back in those days 😂

I’ve never heard the accusation of Harry telling someone they didn’t sound black - when was this?
