Their standing in the US is at an all-time low. US audiences seem to hold them in the same contempt as people in the UK

Camilla also looked at Diana and Charles and thought 'I'll have him anyway'. Their future as King and Queen meant nothing to her.

Didn't stop Rose either.

?????
Do you have any idea how your post actually reflects on you?
How people reading actually think about what your posting?

jeffgoldblum · 17/02/2023 20:52

Indeed @purpledalmation ! , anyhow I've got to do things now so I'll leave the fun to you all! 😉

'The Harkles'

As I have no interest in referring to 'The Middleclass' or whatever. Can you please stop quoting my posts or responding to me in the future, please?

I don't usually remember names, as they don't mean much to me. I will remember your name now. Don't know how you block someone on MN, but please don't ever go anywhere near me.

There is no way of blocking a person on MN. As a tip, I generally find if I respect other people’s boundaries, they respect mine.

For 5 weeks now Harry has had a NY Times best-seller so if you consider him 'not going well' you need to put the Dail Mail down for a sweet moment and smell the coffee.

Yes, a book which traded on his royal status. There is always a big market for royal gossip. I'm sure if Andrew were to write a 'tell all' it would be a big best seller too.

The problem is, other than peddling their fading royal connections, it's not at all clear what Harry and his wife have to offer the world.

For 4 years, Trump was leader of the free world. Did you consider him, and the people around him, to be winners too? Success without substance and respect, and without making the lives of the people forced into your orbit better, is hollow. It's nothing but money and dubious fame.

I think Diana got treated shabbily, personally. But I don't see how anyone could think that Charles and Camilla don't love each other. They're always so happy and laughing together when they're out. And we know from his,last marriage that Charles just isn't that good an actor!

And no doubt has Made many many people realise they simply can't trust them. Just because somethings a best seller doesn't mean it's a good thing for them. People are mocking the book and their ratings have dropped. I would think It's not really the desired outcome.

Oh i didn't realise there was proof of the Rose situation. Where does one find proof William had an affair?

The episode on W and K's wedding was also making the rounds again. An own goal for W and K's PR team.
Wonder what Rose Hanbury makes of it all.

Since that SP episode aired in 2011, waaaay before the Blind Gossip article that first aired the rumours....it actually looks like the SP satire "inspired" the baseless rumour.

wishingyouwell · 17/02/2023 21:59

The Daily Mail and Murdoch associated press continue to be outraged by the success of Spare, yes. Those 'mocking' are tabloid fodder and can't be helped either way.

wishingyouwell · 17/02/2023 22:03

As for those who excuse Camilla and Charles's affair based on 'love' and 'happiness', would you be so generous if your own significant other strayed and the same excuse was afforded?

In time of course a resounding YES.

What on earth would it serve to be bitter and jealous endlessly?

Of course it hurts terribly. Been there, done that. But it is what it is, nobody can make anyone stay with them, nobody has to stay in an unhappy relationship.

When you are hurt so much you lick your wounds, gather yourself together and in time have everything to live for. Most likely you'll look back and wonder wtf you were with that person for.

Hanging onto your pain is desperately destructive to yourself.

wishingyouwell · 17/02/2023 22:30

You can split up without the deceit and lies. A divorce and everyone moves on. That didn't happen.

Oh COME ON!

Humans lie and deceive. Always have, always will. Why on earth do you think Royalty would be any different from anyone else?

You yourself have lied. I guarantee it. Claim you haven't, I call Liar.

You sound so bitter. You would do well to get some therapy

wishingyouwell · 17/02/2023 22:52

You have a low bar of expectation for human beings if you think lying and deceiving is normal.
There are decent and common human values and moral integrity and perhaps you are in need of therapy for setting your bar so low.

BMW6 · 17/02/2023 23:08

Well I KNOW that humans lie and deceive. Alp over the world, everyday.

You do too.

Not a low moral bar. Just realistic.

As for "Moral Integrity" - whose?

The retaliation thing is just odd. I don't have a relationship with any of these people. I think posters who are fixated on H&M in an unhealthy way* think everyone who doesn't like them has the same obsessive, protective feelings about W&K.

When I read something negative about W&K I don't get upset, it doesn't "pinch" or whatever.

It's just so weird!

*and that's not everyone who likes them, obviously

You remind me of a couple of other regular posters who are prolific with anti H&M comments - but at the same time try drop a sentence to say they have nothing against the couple so they come across as reasoned. but wait for it .....always seem to find something to say against them on most bashing threads and join the flag waving band wagon of hate.

LaMarschallin · 17/02/2023 20:13

I expect Rose Hanbury - if she gives it any thought - might think:

Oh look - there's William and Kate being made fun of on South Park. One day they'll be king and queen.

Oh look - there's Harry and Meghan being made fun of on South Park. I wonder what they'll be up to in five years.

I imagine Rose is likely to give W&K headspace because she is in UK with them. but what interest is she to H&M other than they are likely to know what went on. - your post doesn't make sense

“The logic is that if you laugh at H&M being called whiny and annoying on a cartoon show, you must then similarly feel completely tortured by anything negative about W&K.”

I post positively about Meghan and have been attacked for it more than once, yet I never post anything but positive things about Kate and don’t get attacked for it.

Out experiences of mn obviously differ.

Plus why do a few mumsnetters get to decide a comic depiction of a sexual act that is not in anyway explicit, just suggestive, is unacceptable porn? It’s followed the censorship guidelines of every country who has televised it obviously, but on MN it’s suddenly gross and pornographic and needs to be censored because a few mumsnetters have decided for the many of us.
