So everywhere there seems to be complete negativity towards the Netflix documentary and the autobiography coming out. They seem to be universally slated as whingers.
so how much do you think this feeds back to them? It must be v easy to live in a bubble with close supporters telling them they are doing a grand job. But how much reality do you think gets through of how badly they are coming across,

@vera99

that is too funny.

I do remember a secret society where you were given - a black eye or eyes as some kind of initiation ceremony.
They used the fact that Prince Phillip had a black eye as irrefutable proof it existed.

@Ohnonevermind

Yikes, that's appalling. I have not seen any posts about William's children or taking them out. That's really abhorrent. I tend to follow the Squaddies who work in academia, the arts, journalism, etc, and they tend to be funny and irreverent, like Dr Zanye Omolewa who is a riot, RS Locke who is often quoted by James O Brien on LBC, Pagan Trelawney who is super sharp etc. They are more my speed. I would consider the "assassin" Squaddies to be in the same loony spectrum as the fake baby Derangers.

There are more than a few SAY WHAT moments like that. 😂

@MrsMaxDeWinter - the SussexSquad raise money…. for Archie’s birthday ?!?!?!?

They are far, far madder than I imagined then.

Serenster · 12/01/2023 12:40

They raise money to donate to a charity on events like Archie’s birthday is what was meant by that - not to give to Archie himself!

Although one superfan did set up a GoFundMe to pay their mortgage off for them after Harry complained on Oprah that his Dad had cut him off financially. I think she raised about $100. 😀

MrsMaxDeWinter · 12/01/2023 12:46

@Serenster

Thanks, that's what I meant. Did not know about the mortgage, hella funny.

I find it so scary how obsessed people are with all this.
And why can’t there be room for people who see something to love in how Kate/William approach life and also in how Meghan / Harry do. Why does it have to be so binary. There are things I like and admire about both couples, and about all 4 as individuals. And ditto dislike.
The strength of feeling about all of this is alarming, as most people have never met and never will meet this people and if they do will only meet them in work mode.
Why do we expect perfection from these 4 youngish people as they navigate work and children? Are we perfect? Can we not find some compassion for all four of them. There is never going to be a moment when the world decides unanimously who was right and who was wrong, it is far too complex.

Inkanta · 12/01/2023 13:06

I don't know who supports or doesn't support them - it's all distorted by the press. The tabloid headlines at the moment are so hardened and farcical it's just laughable. When are these individual journalists going to get called out or laughed out. It's about time.

Yes you're right.

I looked at Willy, really looked at him, maybe for the first time since we were boys. I took it all in: his familiar scowl, which had always been his default in dealings with me; his alarming baldness, more advanced than my own; his famous resemblance to Mummy, which was fading with time. With age.

In some ways he was my mirror, in some ways he was my opposite. My beloved brother, my arch nemesis, how had that happened?

I felt massively tired. I wanted to go home, and I realized what a complicated concept home had become. Or maybe always was.

I gestured at the gardens, the city beyond, the nation, and said: Willy, this was supposed to be our home. We were going to live here the rest of our lives.

You left, Harold.

Yeah—and you know why.

(Spare, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex)

.........

What a nasty petulant thing to include Williams baldness in his book.

BethDuttonsTwin · 12/01/2023 13:41

What’s “alarming” about baldness? That descriptor is so full of spite. That’s the real Harry, he gives himself away.

MrsTag · 12/01/2023 13:53

H hates that William looks so much like the Spencers whereas - well he doesn't.

Coxspurplepippin · 12/01/2023 13:56

Just had a look at Sussexsquad. So many heart emojis.........also, quite a lot of very nasty stuff about Kate, really nasty. The 'squad' must be so proud.

Not sure what the 'squad' are supporting - do they see Harry and Meghan as some kind of alternative royal family? Or saviours of mankind? Philanthropists? Gurus?

Cherry60 · 12/01/2023 13:59

Harry's denial of his baldness is certainly advanced.

This is vile he conjures up images of his dead mother whilst he is massaging his penis….

To the lady on my left reading SPARE. The book held up in front of your face. Black coat and boots, pink scarf and blue handbag. (Near John Lewis) I'm on your right in a hideously bright colour jumper. but If you are a MN I hope you are enjoying the book! You haven't looked up once in the last 20 minutes so I think you are. 😊

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with Diana’s older sister Lady Sarah McCquorcodale.

I think that may have been me, but my scarf is cerise, not pink. And your jumper is truly hideous, Did you get it for Christmas from an in-law?😂

But then she clearly takes after her mother.

@MrsMaxDeWinter it was more of a pale pink - It could have been you but Let's just say "I don't think so". The jumper was all my work I'm afraid I can't even blame it on the in-laws who like to sneer at my lack of style, just this time they may be right. It's one of those colours that look great if you are looking groomed as well but today I really wasn't but decided to wear it anyway 😂
