Oh dear!

No hugs then.

clyspa · 08/12/2022 20:30

She asked what colour they won't wear / camel, beige, white

I get it but again her demeanour is like it's stupid and they are stupid and I'm scoffing

She may not be wrong but if you are aware someone scoffing at you it might have made Kate etc defensive or feel like staying away?

She says lots of muted times to blend in and not stand out..,.,,

There's no version she says of her joining and not trying to fit in with this family - she doesn't want to embarrass them

Now into wedding invites and brides family stirring again

Thanks @Maireas I want to authenticate your lived experience

Thank you. My lived experience is seen through the lens of equality and sustainability, not eroded by haters, racists and Brits (latter category all inclusive).
I am the wind beneath your wings.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 08/12/2022 20:32

She does look lovely in muted colours though.

Then again, she looks lovely in everything.

Oh dear!

No hugs then.

I need to push past the artificial boundaries placed on me by my uncaring family who are trapped in their privilege.

Hug me! It will enable me to see the light!

But only if I am barefoot and wearing ripped jeans.

Even if DD tells me I am too old for ripped jeans.

silvertreeformerlyknownasSigma33 · 08/12/2022 20:37

DD is black. Do I have to listen to her on the subject of ripped jeans? Does her lived experience of being a chronically embarrassed teen trump my lived experience of being a free spirit?

I make the point (again) that the people screaming racism on these threads at every turn don't mind the direct, disgusting comments that Kanye West makes publicly about Jewish people. I think they 'allow' it because he is black and it makes it okay. If a white man was doing it, they would suddenly agree that it is a problem. It is fine hypocrisy.

clyspa · 08/12/2022 20:39

They were playing whack a mole / stories coming out of the woodwork , salacious as possible etc

I wonder why bother? Why try and refute stories that are whacko? Think everyone saw through Samantha and felt sorry for MM

Do think it must be hard to have inaccuracies printed about you but why make an industry out of chasing them all down? Who has the time or energy?

Talking about the wedding she says there were concerns about terrorist activity so getting snipers as part of security - some white powder was sent that they feared was anthrax

Niece stating communication with her was less and less and being managed (assume by palace?) how? Harry was texting her in Canada no trouble etc

Why on earth would 'the palace' have the slightest interest in Meghan's niece? Is this the excuse as to why Meghan didn't bother to invite her to the wedding?

I think they don't know what to do with it so just push it aside.

I'm hearing more and more that he is playing "crazy" in order to avoid potential charges to do with tax evasion etc. Not sure how true that is.

Either way I am jaded and disgusted with the contradictions and double standards from those chanting "Racist" at anyone who disagree with them.

IcedPurple · 08/12/2022 20:45

Isn't this sort of thing normal for royal weddings, and indeed most major royal events?

Those involved don't usually feel the need to discuss it on a reality show however.

clyspa · 08/12/2022 20:51

Now explaining communications teams for each household / like that of any politician, business or celebrity apparently

Their primary fury is to their own principles- at this time Cambridge and Sussex shared an office

Intent is for royals to be removed from the media and narrative to be controlled

MM saying the comms team was small and had a lot thrown at it so she has sympathy

It was hard to explain how Samantha was not invited to the wedding but niece was so guidance was not to invite niece - h and mm called her to explain

But it could be explained ok that the ex girlfriends and Oprah was invited?? I struggle to not get why the niece couldn't go?

Niece stating it hurt but she understood the bio mum was the cause snd was the reason her relationship with MM was being taken away 'it's been hard'

I'm not sure I get this. Def don't get why she can't speak to her niece at all (as is suggested)

Honestly don t understand all the hate. Why do you all feel entitled to cyber bully? If the crap ye are spouting was on a whatsapp of snapchat about one of your kids (even a tiny amount), then you all would go mental. I'm guessing the worst among ye are the one who were all 'be kind' after Caroline Flack. I find ye all 'nauseating'. Honestly the shame of it! I would be horrified if my kid grew up to act like this and say these things about another human being publicly.

StormzyinaTCup · 08/12/2022 20:52

Well, that was pretty much as I expected, what I took from it was:

Episode One - it's the media that's the problem
Episode Two - it's the media + the RF
Episode Three - it's the media + the RF + Brexit + The whole of the UK

It makes you wonder why they wanted the half in half out really or just maybe that was a load of bollocks baloney.

Wishiwasinmalta · 08/12/2022 20:58

I’d like to see these two sulks popped into an episode of Rich House Poor House… for a good couple of months. Anyone fancy swapping houses with them?

clyspa · 08/12/2022 20:58

Was Serena a friend before H was on the scene. If after, will she be my friend too? Or is that reserved for those that marry into the bastion of intolerance that is the RF?

clyspa · 08/12/2022 21:03

British monarchy different as international monarchy through remaining head of state of so many countries

Queen is respected and known for fight
To keep commonwealth going

Ok so it's empire 2.0 -for some still poor etc

Frankly not sure Harry equipped for this battle (to right empire wrongs of yesteryear nor from the us)

OP posts:
Colcat · 08/12/2022 21:05

I've switched off Episode 2 at the point where she laughed and giggled at the idea of meeting the Queen and curtsying. For a start it was utter bullshit that she wouldn't have known she was meeting the Queen and been advised on protocol. Secondly it was Harry's job to ensure she understood. I'm not going to sit there and watch her laughing at me and mocking my people. I'm out.

silvertreeformerlyknownasSigma33 · 08/12/2022 21:08

@Colcat but she is a free spirit and so natural! She hugs people! she wears ripped jeans and goes barefoot! How could you not love her and wish the RF were more like her?

clyspa · 08/12/2022 21:08

As she looks like many people in the commonwealth maybe it can start conversations

She's a girl from CA marrying a man she loves - what the hell has the commonwealth got to do with her or how can it be put on their relationship to solve?

it's interesting past snd current debate but too much to tie to these two

She doesn't know how to curtsey and he doesn't know how not to be in the army but they can tackle huge racial harmony issues just by marrying?

Please don't tell me he said that.

I've just cancelled Netflix. I think I feel like Meghan must have felt escaping from the evil Royal family. I can't afford to retreat to a mansion in Montecito but I'll treat myself to an extra shot in my cappuccino tomorrow morning. Onwards and upwards. I can come out the other side!

clyspa · 08/12/2022 21:13

Now it's about Stephen Lawrence and the inadequate police investigation

It's quite the thing to be bringing all of this into a Netflix special on why Harry and Meghan decided to live to California

It's a platform to talk about how these events have influenced the U.K. but I'm uncomfortable it's being used to explain what is clearly a commercial and perhaps private family matter for now being estranged

I just watched the first episode. They seem like normal people navigating an extraordinary existence. I thought they came off well and love the house!
