To ask what you think of Meghan and Harry's "bump dance" video?

[comeandhaveteawithme]

To mark Lilibet's 4th birthday, they've uploaded this video. I think it's cute and fun but the usual haters are out in force.

She clearly has a monitor on under her dress but people are claiming it's a pillow, and people are also claiming it's not possible to dance like that while heavily pregnant (it totally is, if you're in good shape)

Also the horrible comments from men saying she must have got a lot of practice in, giving lap dances on yachts

Don't really know what people's problem is with these two tbh.

She didn’t put it up for you. You are in control of what you do and don’t want to see, just scroll on by. As for the privacy sh1t, that was the media narrative.

I don’t see the issue. But those suffering with Markle derangement syndrome hate everything she does so….

I guess you aren’t her targeted audience

I only watch what I want to watch. I avoid what I want to avoid!
Simples

It really is quite easy to avoid, I have. Funnily enough the more you click on it, the more you so do I suggest not doing that. 😉

I only watch what I want to watch. I avoid what I want to avoid

yup

those algorithms can be a bitch but at least on mumsnet you have a clue in the title so you don’t have to click

Only becsuse you want it to be it's quite easy to scroll on nobody is forcing yoy to click on everything H&M related and tbh both of their families sound pretty toxic..

Twerking to The Baby Momma Dance:

”Yeah I said I'm pregnant
Get the child support and pay my rent
Your opinion is irrelevant
Yeah I'm a baby mama I can do just what I wanna”

Classy.

I have no interest in watching anything this pair put out, and find them massive hypocrites always whinging on about privacy while sharing crap like this.

It did the job!

It got them into the headlines worldwide.
They have become so irrelevant they needed something big, something that couldn’t be ignored. Rather than sell Harry’s terminally ill father down the river for the third time, they decided to play it cool with a shit, badly advised tasteless classless video.

Sickening.
But it did the job intended. High fives all round in the PR team.

OFFS, you are deranged. The media loves them because people like you can’t get enough opportunities to slate them. Move on and ignore them if you dislike them so much.

Why don’t they just their lives away from attention which is what they apparently wanted.

I think it's cringe however it's very vulnerable to post that and be open to be honest Harry's a better dancer than I imagined

There are many, many similar videos from other mums doing this.

Frankly I don't really care about them and I don't really care about this, but I find it really weird how people seem to have such strong opinions about strangers.

I find the woman to be so narcissistic. Everything she does is to place herself centre stage, even if it means shoving the kids to one side. She talked about a recent fishing trip with the kids where they baked salt trout and how important it was for the kids to have nice memories of her on holiday. She displayed a bouquet of flowers, bought on behalf of the kids, congratulating her in her TV series. She talked about how sweet it was that Archie sat on her bed at night and told her "don't work too hard Mommy", which had clearly been planted by her referencing how hard she had to work. If I had a child who told me that, I would feel pretty bad about the fact that i was forever on my laptop. I wouldn't feel touched that they cared so much. That's not their role. I would want my kids to remember the fun activities on holidays as a family, but not specifically me. This is just yet again an example of her narcissistic mothering whereby she garners the attention that actually should have been on Lili. Again the birthday photos show much more of Meghan than Lili. I appreciate that she supposedly wishes to protect their privacy, but a simple happy birthday and some nice written words about her daughter would have sufficed. She sees the children as an extension of herself and an important tie to the royal family rather than individuals in their own right.

Even if it was true that H&M had said they wanted privacy and then did the exact opposite, I really cannot see why that serves as a reason to make disparaging comments about them.

I would really like to hear a rational explanation for disliking someone who you do not know personally and has not caused any harm to you or yours

So you criticise people for believing things written in the newspapers, yet are happy to read a highly one sided personal biography by Harry and take it as gospel?!
A lot of what people base their opinions on their own words and actions rather than the tabloids. You don't need a newspaper to explain how she portrays herself in 'Love Meghan' or her podcasts. People are perfectly entitled to form their own opinions upon them based upon the material that they put out about themselves. Personally I find them contrived, particularly her and very narcissistic based upon saccharin articles in glossy magazines that they have largely written themselves. Those magazines are very favourable towards them. I'm also entitled to judge them based upon BBC footage showing Meghan posing for selfies in front of a memorial commemorating the hundreds of thousands who died in the potato famine, for asking why no one had asked how she was, whilst on a tour of Africa, having just visited orphans and those affected by HIV. I am entitled to judge them for the sheer hypocrisy of ranting about climate change whilst taking private jets, or for her comments about being a feminist whilst performing a partial sexualised strip tease whilst grilling meat for Men's Health Magazine! So don't think that you get to take some sort of moral high ground for assuming that people who dislike the pair of them for being thick tabloid readers, when you have been swayed by reading his own highly one sided and destructive biography, during which he publicly slated his own family.

That was directed @Ukisgaslit btw. The quote failed to attach.

Nothing wrong at all with what she is doing, it's the releasing of the video to all and sundry which is cringe - especially from a couple who want "privacy".

The only place I've seen it is here.

That's the thing with these two. You can very very easily avoid reading much about them at all, just by following the kind of media that actually interests and engages you. I see virtually nothing about any of the royal family by simply seeking out serious news sources not aimed at 12 year olds, and reading stories about things that actually matter to me. The algorithm works.

It also works for the people who can't stop frothing at the mouth whenever MM is mentioned, who actively seek out more and more and more information about her, and post their vitriol on thread after thread after thread. I don't know what motivates such hate for one individual who is so easily ignored.

@comeandhaveteawithmethat is wrong, they advocated the privacy line hard. It was very well documented. Consent is one element of privacy, an important one indeed. These two crave the attention, they need to stay relevant.

I do find it interesting how people who rush in to say H&M don’t deserve criticism are also the same ones using “whataboutery” to criticise W&K. People can dislike all of them, or any combo.
The “how dare you have Meghan, but what about Kate’s video 🤮” Is contradictory.

Many of us have watched W and H grow up. Seen a lot of them in the media. Taken a passing interest in their lives because of their role in the history of the U.K. Opinions on Harry have changed massively since he released Spare. I liked him more when he was trekking to the Arctic, visiting children for charity projects etc. Whinging is not something I want to hear from a multi millionaire, whoever it is.

Goodness me. I suggest you step back and stop reading every single thing you can find on them in every media outlet all over everywhere
I don't know much of that because I don't care to spend my life working myself up into a ridiculous frenzy about two people who don't affect me.
P.s. I suggest that if you insist on reading this click bait, you don't take it all as gospel. It's gossip designed to draw ppl like you in, and sell clicks

I thought the dancing was funny and their choice to put out.

'I would really like to hear a rational explanation for disliking someone who you do not know personally and has not caused any harm to you or yours'

Because we are sick of hearing this privileged conceited man's tales of woe constantly for the last few years. Blabbing to the Evil Media at every opportunity, the very media who he loathes, they then release a cringeworthy dance in what should be a private moment. He is a contrary fool. If they post it everywhere, if they blab everywhere they will get scrutiny.

So here's a novel thought don't listen to what he blabs,ti the media or click on every article about them 🤔
