‘Courtiers’ 2

[RandomPenguinHouse]

The last thread filled up during a particularly chatty morning.

the black and white photo makes me wonder if they’re trying to manifest being on coins one day.

They already are!

Gawd! Look at those! I don’t quite know what to say about them (and I imagine H&M may feel the same!)

Those coins are hilarious 🤣

agree, Meghan does look beautiful but Harry looks ....vulpine. Imagine a Roald Dahl type drawing of the wolf in granny's clothes looking down at Little Red Riding Hood.😀

Haha!! That’s so funny!

They clearly think they’re the cats whiskers don’t they? I just find all this self aggrandisement so tacky.

Shallow post alert. I think the reason the top and bottom are so well aligned is because it’s a jumpsuit. I agree with pp who said that the sleeves are too long. The way she and Harry are holding hands it looks like her wrist is broken. And I’m not sure about the head to toe red. I think red suits her and she seems to have made it a signature colour, but I think you have to be careful or you can stray in to Santa territory. Sorry. Sorry. Back to the topic..

Those coins are hilarious 🤣

There are some shockingly bad ones of William and Kate as well… (the teeth!)

I love Roald Dahl’s revolting thynes, they could be recreating the red riding hood one here

’the small girl smiles, one eyelid flickers, she whips a pistol from her knickers. She aims it at the creature’s head and bang bang bang, she shoots him dead’

Exactly. To pose when attending a charity event seems so crass. To do so as if they're guesting in a episode of TOWIE even more so.

Whoever makes those coins is terrible at their job 🤣🤣

While we’re in the relatively safe waters of S&B, I’m delurking to say I disliked that outfit when she wore it. The legs were a funny shape, there was an odd trailing neck tie thing going on, I just didn’t care for it. However I completely agree she looks great in red, in fact she can wear most strong colours well. She wore a citrus yellow fitted dress that I though looked amazing on her, very few could carry that off.

ditto. my kids loved them. very funny

Meghan can wear lots of fabulous colours, she needs to get her clothes tailored to fit as she’s not got a standard model shape (who does 🤣) and they would look far better.

She also needs to think about materials as her clothes frequently look very wrinkled.

All the coins are dreadful . I'm no style expert but I think the trouser/jumpsuit is too much - perhaps better if broken up by a belt, or with a different colour scarf. And having your own personal photographer at an event, where there would have obviously been an official photographer .

Those coins! They're all dreadful. Meghan and Harry's have horror movie zombie eyes and they've made Kate look like her false teeth are falling out.

And having your own personal photographer at an event, where there would have obviously been an official photographer.

And their Netflix crew. When they walked into the stage they had a cameraman walking backwards in front of them to capture it. But yes, them attending the event is all about the organisation, not them, of course.

'And having your own personal photographer at an event, where there would have obviously been an official photographer'

I know, who on earth is advising them! Well, having said that we know they do what they like, they just keep revealing their mahoosive egos eveytime they're seen in public.

Harry is standing back, his body is in the shade - you can see the shadows , so they must have lightened his face with photoshop with the result it makes his face look stuck onto his body.

clearly no-one cared about him in the original pose to even move him into the light

OMG! The William and Kate coins are much worse! Guffaw!

I think red suits her and she seems to have made it a signature colour, but I think you have to be careful or you can stray in to Santa territory. Sorry. Sorry. Back to the topic..

😂

Those coins really are shocking for both couples, I'm struggling to even see any actual resemblance to W&K, they could just be a random couple!

I did see a meme with ‘Meyoncé’ which did make me laugh

M strikes me as somebody who needs to compete and dominate in order to find motivation and define her purpose If the Royals never released another photo again then she would give up on doing it altogether. She has bought in to the whole modern American 'goddess promotion' culture. The problem is that (apart from H and a few obsessed fans) nobody is buying into it. It just seems silly. Most of their faux-charitable initiatives also exhibit this silliness.

They cannot claim to be following in Diana's footsteps unless they stamp it out. Diana was brilliant at getting the balance right between promotion of causes and personal humility. Here, we just have arty pictures and fancy statements to promote causes with no humility.

i suppose it isn’t a large charity, so the photographer seemed overkill, I hope the charity weren’t paying for him

Do any of you listen to yourselves? Have a moment of reflection. Everything you say applies to the royals .
I've just picked a few phrases from the last hour ( not @ing anyone - wouldn't dare!)

'They look like they're smirking. Just an awful, typically tone deaf pose'

• have you seen the grinning Gang of Four photo taken the day before the funeral ?? We wouldn't do that before our grandmothers funeral . But PR machine must strike while the iron is hot - cue sad face the next day. It was crass as all hell.

'They clearly think they’re the cats whiskers don’t they? I just find all this self aggrandisement so tacky'

• the very definition of 'royalty'

' To pose when attending a charity event seems so crass'

• charity is PR for the royal machine . They control the media and big up any 5 minute phone call never mind a splash for any walkabout . That's literally what they call 'work' lol . ( it doesn't do the charity any good - but it fools the masses that royals 'care' lol.

'And having your own personal photographer at an event, where there would have obviously been an official photographer.'

• not only do the royals have hand picked journalists , they are controlling all footage of the funeral events and approving or banning each 5 minute segment . Thank god most people (under 60) know to ignore this sort of sanctioned press . Rory and the other protestors are for ever however and not a damn thing they can do about it .
