Harry and Meghan (and the Electric Car Market)

[TheMustressMhor]

…… with an occasional look at wild garlic.

Thanks to MrsHuggett for the thread title.

This is Thread Ten, unbelievably.

Gosh those Twitter posts from Toronto Papers are bonkers and unhinged.
It's scary how the Internet brings out the worst in people.
It is true she could have walked around most of the grounds of their many homes without being 'papped 'but now she is living there she cant? Although she looked relaxed being photographed and not too upset.
I think it may calm down a bit once the novelty wears off unless the British press are out to make a point?
I was surprised to see these pics as I can't imagine Harry wants all this really.

yes she definitely slipped the carrier off one shoulder so the paps could get a better picture of her face and that beaming smile - FFS she knows what she's doing.

Let the canadian media feature them now and the british media concentrate on our proper royals.

Toronto papers tweets are more cryptic than bonkers, I think the right person (Meghan) reading the tweets would know what it all means.

That's an interesting point, Teddy. Maybe she does know exactly what it all means.

Or maybe the tweets are just - bonkers.

Yes, the Toronto Paper knows Meghan from back in the day, it would appear.

This is going to be a bigger mess than anyone has anticipated

I'm bet that Kate and William are more upset at the fact they will have to do more duties.
They do have three little ones to think about ( I know they have help etc) but it must have rankled that it's now all on them.

Piers Morgan needs help too I think.
He needs to let all this Meghan hate drop. It's not good for him or anyone else.

Good morning everyone, two thoughts.

1. Anyone else feels sorry for M’a dad being so vilified for cooperating with the paps after the pictures of M’s airplane trip to the women’s shelter and today’s walk with dog and baby pictures. I mean maybe she couldn’t have avoided the first, but the second....?

2. it looks so uncomfy to carry the baby like that, he is so big. And holding the dog leashes as the same time! My children were in a prom/buggy at that age, but maybe I am less sturdy (sturdy in the sense strong, I am several sizes bigger than M)

" It will slowly dawn on PH that the protection he had as a member of the RF did, in fact, reign in the press."

I also think it did-I never saw much about them unless it was an engagement or they were all on the balcony.

They seem to be able to live day to day pretty much unnoticed imo.

Well I guess having estates will pretty big grounds & not having to do the weekly shop helps!

I am looking forward to the Thomas Markle interview.

I don't think they are at all worried about the photos, I think they encourage them actually. It's the commentary and speculation that goes with them. Meghan wants the sort of publicity Kim Kardashian gets, only seen looking her best, all positive coverage. Harry wants whatever makes Meghan happy.

Not sure about TM.

Initially thought it was just a bit of misjudged "fun"-being papped "shopping for a suit".

And thought poor sod hasn't been told to keep schtum at all cost & obviously he'll be kitted out in UK.

But none of them seem to be able to keep their mouths shut!

Those are pap pictures today? If so she certainly looks very happy about it.

was surprised to see these pics as I can't imagine Harry wants all this really.

It's not about what Harry wants!

And yes, being deliberately papped for money is tacky, cheap and tawdry, but are we now surprised? She hated being photographed on a official capacity and not getting paid for it! That's why they cancelled the royal rota. Harry thought it was because they both hated the media. He was so, so wrong.

He has no idea. After Diana died the British press, including the tabloids, made an agreement to allow him and William to grow up in peace and privacy. They largely stuck to it, even after marriage and kids - William and Kate have a similar deal.

Harry has no idea how his life will change - he has left a degree of protection and privacy in the UK for a no-holds-barred, free-for-all, high-profile papparazi celeb life in North America. And it's exactly what Meghan wants - as long as she can pocket the cash.

It was very clearly staged.

yes she definitely slipped the carrier off one shoulder so the paps could get a better picture of her face and that beaming smile - FFS she knows what she's doing.

Just checked and bloody hell you’re right. That’s why Archie is slumped uncomfortably to one side. I didn’t want to be one of those MNers who criticises the way another woman uses a sling, but the baby looked so wrong in those photos and I couldn’t figure out why.

Yes, the Toronto Paper knows Meghan from back in the day, it would appear.

That Twitter account also believes that the RF have DNA evidence that Archie isn’t Harry’s son, so I would take every word on that feed with a massive pinch of salt if I were you.

But none of them seem to be able to keep their mouths shut!

Well now, this is the problem for Harry. His wife's whole family (apart from her mother) seem to be forever telling the media stuff which I daresay he wishes they would not.

But it will be interesting to see how much Meghan herself contributes to the so-called media storm.

Getting the paps to take pictures of her with the dogs and the baby while Harry is on the plane back to her, was very, very cheap IMO.

A very low blow indeed.

I am looking forward to the Thomas Markle interview.

I was never invested in the PH/MM thing. Didn't even watch the wedding even though my DSis kept sending me WhatsApp updates.

I did think at one stage, "Poor woman. Her father needs to shut up now because he is just embarrassing the Royal Family".

Now I feel as though I've taken off my specs and given them a good clean, so I'll be watching the interview with interest too. Suddenly I see it all in a whole new light.

As an aside, James Kirkup writes in The Spectator about his previously similar lack of interest in the whole Sussex thing but he says that there is one thing that is really bothering him and it is this:

"The Captain General of the Royal Marines has turned his back on them for an Instagram account".

Has Harry actually said that he's not happy with the deal that they've got?

Yes he said it in the Sentebale speech.

She'll not be able to go for a few days at a time without being photographed.

We don't really know where those photos were taken but if you look closely there's a silver car in one of the shots, the number plate has been blurred out but the plate itself looks like a yellow UK plate anyone know if Canadian plate are yellow or white?

Well, he hasn't actually said he's unhappy with the deal, diddl, but patronages of the military were very important to him and will be causing him a great deal of sadness.

He looked stunned when he was making his last speech at Sentebale. Just like someone who wasn't entirely sure what had just happened, except that he knew it was something very bad indeed.

HM Queen has been remarkably circumspect in all this. She has left many, many doors open for him.

I predict: new pregnancy, separation and divorce negotiations within the next two years.

no, not directly. He referenced "no other choice", "it has come to this" and something about what he had hoped not being possible.

So it means he's not happy although he didn't directly say that

Meghan definitely is.

Morning SingingLily, what are you having for dinner tonight?
