Harry and Meghan and the intricacies of the Monarchy

[PelicanPie]

Here's a follow on to the last thread, which was really enjoyable.

Thank goodness I've found you! Like cockroaches, refusing to be stamped out.

I have no idea how the other was perceived to be a TAAT either.

Shall go back to lurking now.

Poor Bea. She needs to postpone the wedding then hopefully Andrew will have done The Honourable Thing and she can have a big wedding after all.

Alternatively, it’s Windsor Registry Office and Woking Pizza Express.

I would have thought his security team would want to do some checks rather than just take the call on trust. Very odd.

The deleted thread was not a TAAT. It was very obviously a continuing discussion. Perhaps it became inconvenient that the supposedly 'nasty' posters started talking about themselves and their own challenges and problems in a way that made them seem like human beings. That doesn't fit the narrative of how we are all evil gossiping bitches.

Like cockroaches, refusing to be stamped out Meh. Been compared to far worse.

for everyone who has had a bit of a shit time over the past couple of years.

Hypothetically speaking...how bizarre to have the thread deleted.

Personally I'd prefer the scare mongering Coro threads to go (or at least to be limited so the site isn't just one big Coro panic) as they, hypothetically, IMO, will be causing more damage to people's mental health than help.

Back on topic - dear God Harry must be beside himself with rage and indignation. The dawn of a new age without the protection of the RF may be a world he doesn't like so much.

And yes @SussexRoyalTies poor Bea. Whatever anyone thinks of the RF the poor girl is having a terrible time over her wedding which ought to be a huge amount of fun for her.

Just read about Harry and the phone call. I am still trying to process it. Honestly don't understand how he could have been so stupid. He thought he was talking to a child and her father?? Words fail.

Can we be very careful to keep within guidelines please?

He thought he was talking to a teenage girl with autism. Who was in fact an adult man.

Oh Harry.

I know the prank calls are wrong but my god they have some balls! The Boris one they are pretending to be the President of Armenia and I'm convinced it's definitely Boris from the snippets I listened to. He has no idea! The youtube channel is Vovan222 but the Harry one isn't there.

I think the timing of its release is interesting, the day after their final public engagement.

The Greta hoaxer must be good at squeaky voices.

I see M has flown back to Canada and Harry is staying on to sort out his work schedule. I imagine those meetings are going to be a little bit fraught,
There is speculation that M and H are going to rent a huge house in Malibu . I was just thinking, H's house is going to be on a whole different scale to most of the rest of the RF isn't it? I mean even Charles doesn't live like that. A huge, sprawling mansion with pool, all paid for by the tax payer, and he's still moaning. It's a bit of a difference from where he was living in KP, a small cottage with two bedrooms.

I don't believe the Greta call was really Harry. Surely he would have been more guarded? Also they have a team, surely part of their role would have been to check it was genuine?

Poor Bea, she must be tearing her hair out.

Hypothetically tearing her hair out, not actually, that would be silly.

If the thread that was pulled for being a TAAT when are MNHQ going to pull the Trump and UK Parliament threads? These both contain conjecture, criticism of the personalities involved and according to MN criteria not in the spirit. Or is it ok if the people being called scruffy, thick, demented etc are male? Racism in any form cannot be left standing but regarding threads about Harry and Meghan I think moderation has tipped over into censorship.

Interesting in this clip towards the end he is talking about the mindset of older generations, just like on the hoax call. I'm swaying towards the hoax call definitely being Harry.

"There is no way the older generation are going to change their mindset unless it's their children who are influencing the change"

Hypothetically, I think that questioning moderation could well be a hypothetical issue.

Mulling over that hoax call, I really dont think it can be true, it must be a Harry soundalike.

Did he actually spout that ageist bullshit?

True or not, it’s unfortunate for him, implying as it does that he is gullible.

I'm not sure the hoax calls are real. How could they have got his phone number, and been vetted by his PR people, not once but twice. And he said some really daft things, especially about his flights.

Did he actually spout that ageist bullshit?

Yep, right there on camera for the QCT.

There's a conflict. On the one hand they are trying to come across as serious, thoughtful, down with the kids, and somehow superior in their knowledge and understanding. There to lead and influence. Somehow better than the ancient institution that pays for them. On the other, there are the over priced make up artists posting drivel about 'dress up' being flown in at public expense, holidays with Elton John, whining to friends about how awful their lives are. Travelling by private jet and living in free mansions owned by mystery benefactors. They need to decide what their public face should be, and stick to it. They just come across as spoilt and ridiculous in my view.
