I'd go for the self improvement section. Meghan is very fond of telling people how to be empowered.

Roussette · 24/09/2020 15:23

@Trut
Exactly! As if?

QueenofAsgard · 24/09/2020 15:33

Why have my posts about accusations of racism been deleted? How on earth do they break MN talk guidelines unless of course passively and silently allowing yourself to be accused of racism is one of the new rules, both on here and in real life...I fear it may well be you know.

I don't know queen ? Apparently writing offensive untrue lies about me is entirely fine though!
Because the moderating appears to have no rhyme or reason, it seems.

Back on the topic of Harry and Meghan. If they that article is to be believed, that they withdrew from the Royal Family because of Photos in a Queens speech, thats incredibly pathetic, and actually quite ridiculous.

I may be wrong, but the Queen had pictures of the two of them up the year they got married didnt she?

AnneOfQueenSables · 24/09/2020 16:02

There have been numerous studies on the impact of celebrities on voting intentions in the US. Very, very few impact positively. In fact the most recent study in 2016 found only a handful of celebs impacted positively namely Oprah and George Clooney because they were both felt to be credible having spent decades working on specific campaigns.
But if it was a celeb who hadn't put in the time and effort to gain credibility then the electorate were likely to ignore or reject their advice.
Young celebrities eg Taylor Swift have been found to mobilise the elusive 18-24s to vote.
H&M don't have the campaigning credibility of Clooney or Oprah, and they don't have reach to the younger demographic like Taylor so it seems likely from the research that their contribution would be more likely to have no impact or a negative effect.

jeffgoldblumlovespenguins · 24/09/2020 16:13

Anyho back to the topic at hand!
I don't technically have any problem with Meghan talking about voting in her own country, I feel it will inspire young black women to have a voice !
But not with a U.K. royal title , that is not on and needs addressing ASAP .

Trut · 24/09/2020 16:14

@AnneOfQueenSables
As I understand, H&M asked people to go out and vote. Did they say vote for Biden or vote democrats? I haven’t watched the clip.

I can see it may have no impact, but I don't see how it could make anyone flip their vote. And even if they spurred only one additional voter to go out and cast their vote (D or R) isn’t that still a positive outcome for democracy?

jeffgoldblumlovespenguins · 24/09/2020 16:14

Harry needs to keep off the subject entirely however.

SunbathingDragon · 24/09/2020 16:17

@Roussette

A lovely bunch?!! Hope I'm included in that lol

No idea whether the Queen would even want to take any titles from Harry as that leaves Andrew exposed to the same thing and Andrew is favourite son... and always has been

If titles are being taken away from those who have stepped back from royal duties, then it also includes Prince Philip and exposes him to the same thing. After all, it’s not as if his behaviour has always been exemplary either.

Prince Phillip has retired due to his age and presumably health. Unlike Harry or Andrew. Both of their titles should be removed forthwith, any "perks" of being royal should be removed, and frankly, Andrew should be forced to speak with the feds surrounding this Epstein business.

Roussette · 24/09/2020 16:23

@Trut
I've watched the clip more than once and no they don't mention a candidate. It's very short, 2 minutes
There are so many known figures urging Americans to vote at the moment, Robert de Niro's is great, worth watching but not if you're a trumpy fan Grin

IrmaFayLear · 24/09/2020 16:29

I think the pair of them have the hide of rhinos, with Harry’s hide being extra leathery: voting in the US is absolutely none of his business. He’s only been there five minutes! I don’t think he’s an expert on constitutional matters judging by his ignorance of what the Commonwealth is, so to profess this sudden interest sounds quite false. Also the man is, what, 36 or 37, yet he comes across as so much younger than that.

Trut · 24/09/2020 16:30

@Roussette, ah thanks. I don’t watch these go out and vote videos because they make me feel so guilty about the times I haven’t voted in the past. I do vote now!

SunbathingDragon · 24/09/2020 16:30

Whilst I strongly agree that everyone who can should vote, I really don’t think it’s appropriate for Harry to be involved in American politics at all. I very much hope that over the coming weeks, both H&M refrain from anything that shows which party they support. Does anyone else think Trump is trying to goad them into doing so?

Iknowthingsthatwillhappen · 24/09/2020 16:34

I agree that we should all be encouraged to vote and have no problem with that at all, I do take issue with Harrys implication that he is not allowed to vote in the UK though.

'As I understand, H&M asked people to go out and vote. Did they say vote for Biden or vote democrats? I haven’t watched the clip.'

No they stopped short of actually saying vote Biden as roussette said. Thing is she has criticised Trump before, so it was obvious what they their point was. Reading between the lines if you like.

I dont think they should have titles removed. It just continues to show how ridiculous they are to turn their backs on Royal life but still desperate to trade on it.

They'll no doubt ask for titles to be removed and release a little clip about it, once they've earned enough on Netflix of course.

Trut · 24/09/2020 16:37

Well, talking about being experts or having credibility though achievements, ahem, I hate to say it, but very few in the RF can claim to meet that criteria?
So if Harry no credibility, then by extension C or W or K have none either, as their education and professional levels are similar? Is it only the title which gives them credibility then?

SwordfishShashlik · 24/09/2020 16:44

I have looked at Omid Scobie’s twitter feed and he is still tweeting and being supportive about/of the D & D of Sussex so he can’t be too upset. I shall keep FF in The Royal Family section, in case you were worried.

Trut · 24/09/2020 16:45

I agree that it can rile people up when Harry makes comments in the US, but what’s the poor lad to do? Being the trailing spouse can be difficult and hard to navigate

GetOffYourHighHorse · 24/09/2020 16:48

'have looked at Omid Scobie’s twitter feed and he is still tweeting and being supportive about/of the D & D of Sussex so he can’t be too upset'

I bet they warned him and it was just a fake throwing him under the bus.

lifestooshort123 · 24/09/2020 16:50

Yes, having been the top banana he is now Meghan's plus one. He doesn't look too chipper about it.

Trut · 24/09/2020 16:54

Yes, you only have to go to the Living overseas board to see how difficult and lonely it can be after the initial adrenaline has worn off.

Charles, Kate and Wills all went to Uni, Harry didn’t instead going directly into the Army. There is also some debate about how earned his A level results were, especially his Art grade.
