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

I put it through grammarly and it came out fine.

Nice Work!

Might be because I’m American. Or maybe Grammarly doesn’t work.

If it’s wrong, it’s the least of my faults.

One thing I see often here is someone will say to another poster like “But you continue to do this…”

I don’t know if you are confusing me with someone else but no, I personally have not “continued” to say it was current affairs.

I cannot speak for others and I will not take the blame for everyone on the planet who has been unfair or unreasonable or hateful in some way toward them.

If you feel all criticism equals bullying then you probably aren’t going to want to read anything I write. I’m going to express my opinion and it won’t always be positive. Some people are going to criticize me for my posts and grammar check them, too and that’s also not bullying.

But if someone could explain what an “utter bampot” is I’d appreciate it because I just ordered a tshirt with that on it after someone said I was one. It’s like a sexpot, right? 😂

Apologies yes I agree My wording / grammar is not great. I say you instead of they and should be more specific at times. But my posts usually refer to a pattern which you are right does not always mean you as an I individual poster.

🤣🤣 oh that is funny! It's more of a made up word but I think it means something more like nutcase. I'm not sure if you can still wear the t-shirt or pass it on.

I didn’t really get a shirt but I think it would be damn funny. I had not heard the term but in context knew it was some form of calling me crazy. 😁

Didn’t know this show was still made.

It must have changed a very great deal over the years since I last saw it if so many mumsnetters now find it insightful satire.

The Harry and Meghan episode was spot on, absolutely brilliant writing. My American friends say they're definitely B list and that Americans look badly on the way they've trashed their own family for money.

I heard there may be an episode 2 of SP as it went down so well over the world?

Totally agree.

now we are seeing Harry in his true colours, and just how unpleasant he is. He has been exposed by his own words. Which is pretty damn funny,

the Internet is full of memes, all laughing at him and the South Park episode just adds to this.

renaming his petulant diatribe “Waaaagh” is perfect.

I do heartily agree that Harry has completely missed the fact that Palace PR made him look like a thoroughly good egg.

Harry in the raw appears to be a spoilt brat and a not very intelligent man.

I don’t “hate” M&H in the least. They provide entertainment and where would the sales of Spare be if no one were interested in them? And if the book hadn’t included dog bowls, todgers and other “private” titbits?

Yes I think without the royal protection, Harry’s true colours are coming out. Very unpleasant character.

It was an incredibly disrespectful remark. I’d also forgotten about the attempt to monetise Sussex royal.

Bampot is a very popular Scottish term for being a nutcase.

I think people outraged by Southpark lampooning H and M should have a look at the cartoons of James Gillray (and others) of George III and IV and the Court. Merciless and very, very popular.

Actually, Harry comes across very well in 'Spare' and seems a thoughtful and interesting young man.
He speaks some very inconvenient truths so those who wish to continue to hide the truth will continue to undermine him. Some have lapped up the Daily Mail/Murdoch spin, as intended. They rely on the ignorance and inability of their readership to question their agenda and think for themselves.

Do you know who sounds obsessed and over-invested. YOU.
When you get to the point where you can write an essay on the fact that internet strangers don't agree with you on a single topic then I think you need to step back for your own sanity.
As for quoting from Wiki, I have no idea who did it but I cannot see how it would ever be relevant to these discussions about vapid celebrity culture.

I think the South Park episode was quite kind to Harry and very accurately portrayed Meghan as a vacuous narcissist. In reality Harry is in fact just as bad as her. A spoilt, entitled petulant child man

As pointed out, criticism doesn't equal bullying. Nobody made these two people expose their faults so clearly to the world. Their actions have been of their own doing, and therefore they've opened themselves up to all this ridicule. It does show the RF's tight control on personal information and stories, even if it means doing deals with the media to give stories they want (royal mums on the steps of the hospital with a newborn) is the right one. I don't believe for one minute the RF feed the media negative news stories (as Harry says) because it makes no sense to denigrate members of the family, especially a new valuable member.

He is thriving actually. Much better off. Another inconvenient truth some would rather not acknowledge.

There is nothing unpleasant about speaking up against oppressive behaviour, whoever is the perpetrator. Silence is complicity and abuse thrives and multiplies within the 'safety' of silence.

He should have done this years ago especially in relation to the disgraceful British media. He could have said a lot more, I thought him quite gracious.

@AliceOlive , apologies I was in bed, and with the time difference I'm assuming you're in bed now! .
I don't know what's wrong with that post , it actually looked ok to me! ( it's been years since I was taught English at school) .
I was simply pointing out to that poster that you had quoted someone else.
They were saying, I believe that obsessed with hate , was incorrect syntax.
Your gramma was fine as far as I can see!

"thriving" as in professional victimhood, drowning in drugs, fake philanthropy, selling his family for more and more money to satisfy greed.

As has been said many, many times on MN and elsewhere there’s speaking up against what you perceive to be oppressive behaviour, and there’s over sharing incredibly personal details which the world really doesn’t need to hear over their cornflakes and which makes you look like a whiny prize idiot. Harry chose the latter, unfortunately.

H isn’t thriving. He’s a global joke.

Yes.because what you and your kind says is real, is the global truth.

😂seethe

He’s certainly given the world a lot to laugh at, courtesy of his own words in Spare/Waagh

On one hand the Jimmy Kimmel jokes, South Park etc are funny and it’s good to have a reason to laugh these days. On the other, he has tarnished the reputation of the royal family. I’m glad HMQ wasn’t alive to see this.
