Harry loses HRH title

497 replies

cobicat · 09/08/2023 05:36

Harry's 'HRH' has reportedly been removed from his listing on the RF website. Seems about time, really? Odd that Meghan's wasn't removed too, perhaps an oversight? Or are they making the changes gradually in the hope that no-one will notice...

So where are the pictures coming out the gates of her house? getting on her car etc? She has Backgrid on speed dial to catch her many pap walks.

Perhaps because she didn't call them, so they didn't know she'd left her house? Perhaps they only found out she was in town when she was already there?

Something else that I don't understand, that people are suddenly surprised that celebrities get papped out and about. How else are paparazzi going to get photos of celebrities to sell? I saw a photo of Siri Cruise walking down a street, did she call them too?

I think some do ( those that want publicity) and some don’t ( those that want privacy and are genuinely papped)
we have same in U.K. too

They struck really lucky waiting outside the dentists…….. a bit like waiting in the bushes in case she went on a hike…….

Gilmorehill · 14/08/2023 17:29

It's especially lucky as it was apparently early in the morning, so early a coat was needed in August.

I wouldn't call it lucky - all it takes is for one to notice and there's a mad scramble. I'm sure it's a celeb clinic, not one for normies. They're in LA, paps are everywhere because celebs are everywhere.

They are not in LA they are 90 miles away in Montecito.

OK. And there are no celebs in Montecito, right...

Meghan’s hiking pap pics: The real story.

The smear
New York Post: Sky Australia (Murdoch owned )

Megyn Kelly claims Meghan Markle staged her hiking photos over coronation weekend — taking aim at her athleisure wear.

“She actually had a little neck scarf with a tie. I’m sorry, ladies, but we’ve all walked our dogs, literally, nobody does that,” Kelly, 52, said Wednesday on “Sky News Australia.”

“Nobody wears a little necktie with a scarf and the glasses, and the hat and the perfectly wrapped little wrap for later just in case it gets chilly.”

Kelly claimed Markle’s “million-dollar smile” was a clear indication that the photos weren’t candids.

“Oh you, oh hello … where did you come from? How on Earth did you know I’d be here?’ It was obvious, like everything with this woman,” Kelly snarked.

The truth: Straight from the pap’s mouth
The photographer who took the pics – a man named Clint Brewer – posted the message below on his Instagram: “I wish these photos were staged, would make my life a lot easier.” Wow. A paparazzo had to come out and basically say: we’re not getting the calls from a publicist, we’re just stalking the Sussexes and that’s how we get the photos.

Her pics are rare and valuable. There’s a clear market via UK tabloids and Murdoch press in US (TMZ, Page 6 etc).
They stalked Diana, Harry all his life, his girlfriends and now we’re supposed to believe they’d never do that to his wife?! History tells us otherwise. Harry has always been a commodity just like his mother. Every aspect of his life sells and is highly profitable.

It's called (I think) the T tex pose

Is it done to best effect in Asda?

Depends what you want from Asda.

AliceOlive · 14/08/2023 17:59

@Ninaplant Do you know the real story behind MM being blamed for revealing the location of Tyler Perry’s house?

AutumnCrow · 14/08/2023 18:08

If she didn’t call them I feel sorry for her.

If she did, I feel sorry for her.

It has to be a funny old life.

It was a reference to a thread in Classics (which I think I've linked to above) about someone being annoyed by their DH or DS (can't remember now) "T rexing in Asda".
Every now and then it gets mentioned on various MN threads.
Not so much on the RF boards, it seems...
Very weedy joke that's fallen flat.

Thank you. I learn a lot about the goings on of modern life on these threads.

When I was comfy in a T-shirt in Italy the Italians were still in their jumpers.

I realise the temperatures fly about in those big Americas.

PrincessTigger · 14/08/2023 19:04

I think the smiles she does in pap shots are actually discomfort

ILikeDinosaurs · 14/08/2023 19:13

She does look uncomfortable in those pics. Perhaps she had a root canal.

I thought that about the photos in the car in NY. Forcing herself to smile.

She looks beautiful but awkward and kind of tired in the photos at the dentist office.

Yeah, it’s this emoji 😬

Smiling with her mouth not her eyes.

That’s why I’m not convinced they are staged, she looks uncomfortable.

AliceOlive · 14/08/2023 19:41

I don't think this one was staged now. It makes more sense in context. The patch, the rolled back sleeve.

I have spent a good deal of time in Orange County and remember that I was always cold because of the lack of humidity. Still never saw anyone wearing a wool coat so that seems weird to me. But if you google Meghan + coat she must have dozens.

I'll be honest, I dress terribly most of the time since covid. I live in a casual part of the country, am finding it very difficult to find clothing I like lately, and I mostly work from home. I think seeing someone dressed so nicely played into making me think it was staged. But knowing she might be photographed at any time, why wouldn't she look her best? And she loves clothes.

I love seeing the things Meghan wears. It just seems like you would need a massive staff (stylists, personal shoppers, someone in charge of maintaining the wardrobe, etc.) to look like that on a daily basis.

onlylarkin · 14/08/2023 21:07

If all pap shots were staged pap shots, the Hollywood Elite wouldn't have fought so hard to create laws protecting their children from paps who linger waiting for the money shot.

AliceOlive · 14/08/2023 21:37

And if none were, there wouldn't be so many perfect shots.

onlylarkin · 14/08/2023 21:45

Truth.

Some pap shots are staged. Others aren't. We will never know which is which.

polkadotdalmation · 14/08/2023 22:39

It was definitely a pap shot as they are always bought by Backgrid. It's been pointed out that Monticito is 2 hours away from Los Angeles and is an expensive backwater of the city. So to imagine a paparazzi would be wandering around miles of Monticito and just happen upon Meghan coming out of the dentist, is inconceivable.

Celebrities often call on their favourite photographers to alert them as to where they are, so it's no big deal. However her motives? Merchandising her outfit or her acupressure band? Taking attention away from Harry?

I think there have been 12 pap shots in the last 6 months. It would be a miracle if a random photographer happened to be in the right place 12 times.

polkadotdalmation · 14/08/2023 22:42

Or another motive (which would explain the slightly uncomfortable look) is she trying for the sympathy vote again...look I'm so stressed I need a stress band?

Alternatively maybe she had dental work and didn't realise it would be uncomfortable when she alerted the photographer?
