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

That is pretty disgusting isn't it, making money out of calling people racist?

Thats what they\re doing though!

Harry and Meghan does not care about the UK market. They are global. They have made their peace long ago that they are hated by the BM and that single fact is what gave the freedom to speak out. Nothing to lose with the British public. Absolutely nothing when their response and position is so well known.

Their prize is a global audience an audience who believes in social mobility and equal. An audience that believes in financial independence, n breaking from colonial past. Unfortunately for Britain it is stuck in the past which are in direct opposition to modern values. Now this wouldn’t matter too much if Britain was in its ascendancy. Sadly its influence is waning and very very few people submit to fairytales and classism.

One side is on the wrong side of history and it is not Harry and Meghan. For good or ill, they have successfully painted the BM and the Royal Family as being in bed with each other and that has resonated across the world. They are definitely winning the war. The BM may run little battles here and there with the constant streams of nonsense and the Palace leanings but that war is being fought for a global audience and the BM and the Royal Family are losing.

Canada is next on the cards to give Charles the boot. I just read an article where there is a call to arms for the Caribbean Commonwealth to be vocal in defending Meghan. The US is largely on the side of Meghan. Africa, India, etc. The former colonies are not playing ball with these reminders from the Royal Family of its racist, colonialist mentality.

Royality is for Britain. One stuck in the colonial past.

So why do they use royal titles? Do you approve of them using royal titles?

He reminds me of a 3 year old. Wants a strawberry yogurt. You get one out of the fridge and there's a meltdown because it's the wrong flavour, he wants a cherry one. You swap them and the tantrum subsides. You take the lid off the cherry yoghurt and the hysterics start again. He wanted to take the lid off. No not that spoon, that spoon! You change the spoon and place the lid back on top of the pot to try to placate him. It doesn't work and the spoon and yogurt are left untouched as he leaves the table. You give up trying to reason with someone who's immaturity stops them acting in a reasonable way and eat the yogurt yourself.

So true!!

Harry and Megan seem to be really unhappy and I do think they genuinely believe they are in the right and who am I to disagree but what really bugs me is the fact they went in about living in a cottage that ‘certainly wasn’t a palace’ like it was beneath them to live in two bed house, there’re millions of people who would give their right arm for a two bed cottage certainly in the centre of London, also the money grabbing and wining about being cut of from Charles money, most people in their 30s don’t live off their parents money…. They get a job!

Don’t be daft. He clearly does not want a relationship with them. In the context, he was about to say a big BUT.

Wish on. When you see the full interview come back here and tell us how that statement really plays in the context.

Harry and Meghan continually makes the BM look like fools. The BM run away with stories after stories based on a single clip. When put in context, thru look like fools. They never learn.

Harry and Meghan owns the BM and owns their followers. You cannot get enough of them and continue to make them rich. They are the one’s laughing. All the way to the bank. Whilst we are seen as backward racists. That is the reality.

I’m not continuing to make them rich. Not a penny of my money has gone in to their coffers.

H & M absolutely NEED to have a starring role at KC’s coronation. It will be a global event, one of the biggest extravaganzas in recent history after the Queens Golden Jubilee. They need to be there to make it look, especially to the Americans, that they are still relevant in the RF.

I rather imagine that’s why he wants to get back in his Dad’s good books. I doubt he expected the Queen to die when she did and hoped to make lots of cash trashing the RF (not the Queen of course who he’s made out to be unable to intervene in the face of KC and William as he knew everyone loved her) and get Megs in the running for US President. Ooofff, bad planning there!

He’s manipulative. He and M knew HMQ was a much loved and respected figure globally and so were very careful not to publicly criticise her. He thought it would be safe to attack PC and PW. However now PC is KC, he’s in a bit of a pickle as he doesn’t want to be cut off from the RF completely so he’s come up with this narrative that he wants to reconcile. He wants a seat at the coronation. He needs to be there to keep himself relevant.

I’m supposed to curtesy to them as being my superiors.
In the UK, we seems to have a culture of envy.

Really? No one HAS to curtesy, and the envy seems to be in you.

But he couldn't get a job. He was a senior royal and any attempt to be independent would likely have had bad results. (Evidence currently happening).

I wonder how people say "he should be happy" or "he should have gotten a job".

For Christ's sake. That is what he is doing! How is that going for him?

Meghan aside, he grew up in the RF. He knows how it works. But by exposing how it works, he is accused of loosing the plot.

I agree with @Maximinimalist entire post.

Will the monarchy survive? Yes. But not in its current form.

They sounded absolutely pathetic whining about Nottingham Cottage... Absolutely no self awareness or sensitivity whatsoever. With this kind of thing being one of their complaints, it shows how they are clutching at straws trying to find things to have a go at his family for.

It's been obvious for many years that Harry isn't the brightest crayon in the box, but I don't think Meghan is half as clever as she thinks she is either.

I was Australian Women’s amazing New Idea who leaked it (and claimed they had no idea about the agreed embargo). It thin got picked up by the Drudge Report.

It must be feel good sucking it to an institution that was arrogant enough to think it was all powerful.

He’s a senior, highly privileged, extremely wealthy member of a royal family in a constitutional monarchy complaining that his diamond shoes are too tight, not Aladdin fighting Jafar….

TheFairyCaravan · 02/01/2023 19:27

I’m agog at what they have to do become the rank of Major. The one I used to live next door to couldn’t even put his bins out. Christ knows how he passed any exams.

TwoMonthsOff · 02/01/2023 19:28

Just watched an episode of ‘without a trace’ and Meghan is In it. S7 ep 15 chameleon. Not seen her anything since suits

They also leased a big house in the Cotswolds on a private estate.

Wait, what? This is his job, going round the media like Thomas Markle breaching privacy and gaslighting his entire family? No no no i think by a job folk thought he could do some charity work or similar.

None of this should surprise anyone much. Even with the finest education money can buy he gets what? B and D grades at A level in art and geography. 6

Tell me about it, The major I knew kept a spare key to his house, in my house because he was forever loosing his 🤣

Then there was the time he put petrol in his diesel car, and also the day he electrocuted himself installing a light fitting because for some unfathomable reason he didn't flick the circuit breaker switch 🤦🏻‍♀️

Man was a menace, but he was a nice man, and very funny. So he did have something going for him I suppose haha.

onlylarkin · 02/01/2023 19:31

Please explain to me how he was supposed to make a living doing charity work?

He can't go out and flip burgers now can he. Not even before Meghan. He is to famous for that.

I’m from a commonwealth country. I can tell you now that H&M are not well regarded there. You respect your elders & never voice a negative opinion about said family in public. So no not all commonwealth countries support the ‘woe is me’ act.

I'm also from a Commonwealth country and I see no great love for them here. Most of us are sick of hearing about them, others devour all the magazine stories, but that doesn't mean they regard them well. Most people I know never mention them at all, they really aren't that interesting (despite what the couple themselves seem to think).

So if it survives with none of the cousins and grandchildren having titles is that racist?

He could have worked at the Duchy of Cornwall quite easily.

I've been in bed all over Xmas with this flu! , so haven't posted just read the threads here, it has given me an odd understanding, I recognise many posters but oddly every so often a flurry off odd posts come thick and fast spouting absolute nonsense, then this dies down ( particularly a times of the day and night!) and then a day or so later they come again! , it's a very odd pattern but quite entertaining however this last one is the most bizarre I've seen so far!

I don't post very often here, but I do lurk quite a bit.

Over the past few months there have been a few posters with a remarkably similar posting style. Comically pompous, with a 5th form understanding of British history and very insulting towards anyone critical of the Duke and Duchess of Anti Colonialism. It is quite entertaining, in a bizarre sort of way. Rather like their heroes.

They don't all work for free y'know. I believe some CEOs of charities earn a fair wack. Not Netflix dollars obvs.

Jackiewoo · 02/01/2023 19:36

But he couldn't get a job. He was a senior royal and any attempt to be independent would likely have had bad results yet somehow Wills managed to have a regular job in the air ambulance, and lived in a little house on Anglesey as a newlywed with minimum fuss.

Those CEOs are basically running a business. No way has Harry got the intellect to carry off that role. The idea is risible.

It's simple, you create a charity and become the CEO. You then draw in funding streams from government contracts, private sector contracts and fundraising, to deliver your work.

You pay yourself a nice wage, the staff receive theirs, and year on year, recommissioning of contracts come in, or new tenders become available you apply for them. Same as revenue streams from the lottery fund and other foundations. As well as your fundraising, you'll also have major benefactors that contribute.

H and M with their global platform, reach and substantial money already available to be placed as equity could make a really nice sum for them as CEO of a charity.

This is why they network with the Nelson Mandela Foundation, The Kennedy Foundation. They become mutual benefactors to eachother circling big money at the top of the ladder.

They could have done something completely different. They’re in California, they could have opened up wineries and exported wine (they’d have been very successful I’m sure). Harry would probably have been happier pursuing a non celebrity lifestyle but still have the privileges of royal connections - he could have made a winery as popular as the products that come out of the Duchy of Cornwall. They could have done lots of things that didn’t include trashing the RF and the U.K. He had opportunities most of us can only dream of.
