'They are the one’s laughing. All the way to the bank. Whilst we are seen as backward racists. That is the reality.'

They aren't laughing though are they! they seem utterly miserable locked in their constant toxic negativity.

Speak for yourself I'm not backwards or racist and tbh the racist accusations was never credible then and still aren't now. I judge people by their behaviour not by the colour of their skin, why don't you?

As usual with the Sussexes what they say they want is contradicted by the actions that they choose.

Actions speak louder than words.

They=the slaves must be laughing in their graves. I love that poem by Maya Angelou - Still I rise.

'So why has he struck up a deal with ITV for his interview if the U.K. is not a target market?'

Cos he loves us. We know it and he knows it Grin.

Prince Harry served 10yrs and went to war twice. He’s a Veteran, not “an army dropout”. I personally think he should have been allowed to carry on serving in the army, however I’d imagine his father, and brother, had other plans for him within the RF

Not quite. H was on his way out of the army because he couldn’t pass the requirements to move up the ranks and anything else would have been humiliation (for him personally). The RF provided him with a career path and status he was incapable of achieving on his own.

Harry and Meghan continually makes the BM look like fools

Not something that particularly bothers the BM (or any form of media) if it’s still generating money. HAM are providing them with effortless profits.

What would actually ‘show them’ is to make successes of their lives without courting media gossip mongers. But that would require effort and a grown up plan so I suppose it’s not as attractive as being a professional victim.

They seem to be doing a lot of good and getting recognised for the good in the US. Everyone else apart from the BM followers know about their charitable work. When they win awards, there are cries of “they bought the awards”. So they must have a lot of money and power to buy awards from powerful people.

"I personally think he should have been allowed to carry on serving in the army, however I’d imagine his father, and brother, had other plans for him within the RF."

What do you mean 'allowed'? He chose to drop out.

Is anything ever Harry's responsibility? Or is always 'them' and their nefarious schemes?

Okay Confused that’s not even slightly accurate, but if that’s what you think….

Bm? , what has a bargain shop have to do with anything!

Walnutwhipsarenothesame · 02/01/2023 18:43

I don't think he did choose. He was forced out because his location was exposed by the Press. Another reason he hates the Press. He was very angry about being forced out of the Army in an active role.

I definitely think the British media was racist towards Meghan but perhaps not always blatantly (apart from straight outta compton which was awful). I was happy when her and H announced their engagement, I thought it would help modernise the RF - not necessarily because she was a black woman but also that she was an actress and had her own career. I was sad when it went tits up. But now it's perfectly obvious that they are chasing the cash and all this is motivated by money and that they are perfectly happy to paint the entire country as racist to further Megan's political dreams.

What a complete lot of tosh! , and I cannot believe written by anyone who is truly from the U.K.!

I think the poster needs to keep letting us know that they are definitely British.

Because otherwise maybe someone might not believe it.

BethDuttonsTwin · 02/01/2023 18:45

He couldn’t carry on serving without passing exams to allow him to progress. He arrived at a crossroads, intensive study towards promotion to Major and making a life long career of it or leave. He chose to leave.

And the rest of the world has spending power. We are barely surviving here in the UK.

Speak for yourself!

And what does this mean?

*Unfortunately for Britain it is stuck in the past which are in direct opposition to modern values"

Apart from the poor grammar, how can a country be "in the past"?

And what are modern values?

Can you explain any of your banal clichés or do we all guess?

What location? Wasn't he openly serving in Britain when he chose to leave?

Apparently he wants the support of his brother and father though? I'm sure his father loves him and would prefer he wasn't estranged.

I'm pretty sure Harry would never have written the book if it wasn't for Meghan. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing tbh!

He want's them to support him in bashing the RF?

Absurd

If he was bothered about family he could have left, no fuss, instead of making a new career out of bashing the RF.

@IcedPurple , pretty much what I thought! , bizarre abbreviations, odd language, all very odd!

Wasn't the U.K. press though was it!

Wasn't it the Drudge Report, a website from Harry's adopted country?

In any case, that was years before he chose to leave the army, so it's not the reason.

Exactly. He was going into a
aper work job. He didn’t want it. He stayed where he was the people kept getting younger and younger. Harry barely got into Sandhurst. He had no hope of progressing paperwork wise.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 02/01/2023 18:48

Harry and Meghan are such principled opponents of this 'ridiculous institution' that they desperately wanted to remain a part of it ...

I wouldn't bother expecting a response to that, IcedPurple
Time and again it's been asked why they'd still want to be half in/half out of an institution so toxic that it was said to have nearly driven Meghan to suicide, but answer comes there none - not even from those apparently able to say what "the world" and "the colonies" think, which would be quite an achievement if only it was true

Exactly! He blames the British press for everything. He should change the record and try blaming the global media for his gripes. The US seems worse tbh.

I thought it was an American publication…or Australian.

I don't know any British person who talks like that, certainly not about the 'BM' with weird capitalisaition.

But absolutely this poster is British. For sure.
