Tiara-gate unveiled (shameless pun)

The fact that meghan said, and Harry believed, she had spent “hours and hours” with dressmakers getting the original scalloped tiara to match the scallop veil edge shows, IMO, one of two things:

  1. meghan is a wild exaggerator and Harry is stupid. I had a high end dress custom made for my wedding. For this type of thing she would just need to hand over to the extremely experienced professionals. Meghan would have no input to this.
  2. meghan is an enormous control freak who stood over them for hours to make sure it was perfect

Harry trying to paint this unbelievably first world issue as arduous is yet another example of how ludicrously out of touch with reality she is. Poor Meghan, she went with another diamond tiara and hours of her time were wasted. I mean she had to take off time from her busy schedule of borrowing lipglosses and battling Willy’s finger to boss dressmakers around.

there is also an amusing quote somewhere about how Harry reassured Charles Meghan would not be a large cost addition for him as she “makes her own clothes”. Did she borrow her entire character from Snow White? Seal singing, dress making?

Indeed! I've been laughing at some of the posts on the meme thread.
Just when you think you've heard it all:
Frost bitten penis
Bin growing a head
Singing seals
Box of Diana's hair and pregnancy test
Angela Kelly's death stare.
Have I missed anything?.

Anyone who in any way disagrees with him and M is the devil and needs to be destroyed

He seems to be completely enamoured of her but not understanding that others might not be.

Angela of Liechtenstein looked gorgeous, @Florissant .
It's interesting how low profile she is.

Maireas · 07/01/2023 19:22

He not only doesn't understand, @diddl , he finds it difficult to cope with.

My husband is in hospital (again), quite unwell (cheers Harry for a welcome distraction) When I told him a fraction of this today he asked if they'd changed his meds and not said. I think it was the talking bin and seal singing, really

Excellent point!

I also think that because he was racist before he met Meghan - as admitted in the book - he assumes everyone else is too.
Sure, some people are, but they are the very, very tiny minority. It's just the likes of the DM that makes us look like a racist nation.

I have been feeling for the satire writers these last few days. How can you possibly satirise this situation when it is so much more ridiculous than anything they could come up with? I have lost count of the number of times I’ve seen another snippet and though “oh, that must be a pisstake” - but it never is.

JADS · 07/01/2023 19:30

I love Meghan's tiara and her veil. The dress concept is also fabulous (Angela of Liechtenstein absolutely nailed it. She looks stunning). I am surprised she didn't go for the Spencer tiara, that would have been a lovely gesture.

Tiaragate is still a load of hot air and ho ha about nothing. A priceless diamond tiara can't just be release to anyone - think about the security risk. Angela Kelly does her job and gets push back from Harold. What a twonk.

Minimalme · 07/01/2023 19:31

Having a gripe about which tiara is offered is the ultimate first world problem.

It is the stuff of dreams for literally everyone one else on the planet.

But her dress looked like it didn’t fit in places. It was stiff and odd around the neck. The tiara was perfect. Can’t even remember which British designer made her dress…

Not British, it was Givenchy

Florissant · 07/01/2023 19:33

The designer was British; the fashion house not.

My brother was like this over one of his girlfriend’s once. She bullied him And was a user and when we tried to express concerns he screamed at us all.

the difference was, he was 16.

Remember this is a very small world where he Harry and his nearest and dearest family all had to ask their granny for permission to propose, for permission to keep a beard if marrying in army uniform (it’s the navy that allows beards). Veils are symbolic. The colour white is etc etc.

The now King was not allowed to marry in a church as a divorcee. They take all this seriously. It doesn’t apply to you or Tony down the road.

That’s not true, Chas and Camilla had a civil ceremony at the Windsor Guildhall (the Queen did not attend) and then had a church blessing at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle (they followed the normal rules for second marriages at the time)

@CPL593H - honestly, you couldn't make it up! I'm glad it's cheering your husband up, and I hope he makes a good recovery 🤞

Apologies! I missed your ‘not’

I blame Saturday night wine, soz!

SadOrWickedFairy · 07/01/2023 19:38

Have you noticed @Legrandetraitor that Meghan (according to Harry) never just cries but is always on the floor crying to add that extra frisson of drama.

Regarding the makes her own clothes I agree this could be lost in translation a bit due to the other gripe about fashion contacts of Kate, Harry stating Meghan had her own fashion contacts tale. I think the issue at the root of this is that Meghan was told that freebies/gifts were not allowed, clothes. handbags, shoes, etc., had to be paid for. Now Harry knows this is a rule of the RF/Palace and knows why it is, yet another thing he failed to make Meghan aware of.

The whole makes her own clothes/doesn't eat a lot keep giving us lots of money daddy is just so pathetic.

This.

this book is just embarrassing.

harry and Meghan are embarrassing

what have they actually done or achieved these last years that hasn’t been related to them mud slinging trivial shit at the RF?

Not allowed by whom?

I married in church as a divorcee in 1995.

Harry comes across totally as his character from the Windsors.

the crying on the floor is the same as the “hours and hours” Meghan worked on the veil 😆

i Am excited to read some of the British excerpts and compare

This book has confirmed more speculation and rumours than it has in fact debunked.
