Harry loses HRH title

497 replies

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...

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.

They always appear at strategic times too. Nearly always when someone in the RF is in the media for an event. In this case, her husband.

Very logical. Also I really can't buy that someone living in a country which is usually hot during the day would choose to wear a coat just because the temperature is a bit chillier in the morning. I've lived in a couple of hot countries. You put up with the cold in the early morning as you know it will get better later on. Some posters are trying to gaslight us.

“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.”

Exactly.

The amount of clicks that pictures of Meghan Markle generate now is phenomenal.

Meghan can’t go to a dental appointment now without posters claiming she has ulterior motives.

why is she wearing a coat? A patch? Walking down some stairs?“ LOL.

Morestrangerthings1 · 15/08/2023 02:14

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 imagine if she was dressed like most of us do on a walk, there’s be images of Meghan splashed across the media saying she is looking ‘scruffy/depressed/unhappy.’ That would lead to ‘marriage over’ or other negative rumours.

She always looks well dressed and very stylish, just as Kate does when pictured during the casual outings etc

Realistically, her own prior behavior has lead her to this point.

polkadotdalmation · 15/08/2023 03:20

Strange too that her body guard is in a comfortable short sleeved shirt proving it was warm weather. An exercise in product placement I think.

And the Taylor Swift concert where she had to sit in the cheap seats and no photographs anywhere? What was that all about?

Morestrangerthings1 · 15/08/2023 03:43

I’m done with agreeing on here with anything any generally anti Meghan poster posts, because whenever I do post any agreement in regards to a post of theirs, they fire off an added Meghan insult.

What behaviour? when has there ever been proof she staged pap shots? It keeps being said here as if it is actual truth. back grid are a photo agency, they buy off independent photographers. They've made a very negative statement about them. She isn't flipping ringing back grid. There are plenty of photos of Kate with backgrid on them too, out shopping in Chelsea etc Meghan has kept pretty low for some time and yet she is constantly accused here of staging photos and wanting to be seen and heard.

She went to the fucking dentist for gods sake.

polkadotdalmation · 15/08/2023 08:31

Monticito is a 2 hour drive from Los Angeles (where all the action is) and this car park is in a quiet area, not on a main street and the photos show it's near empty. It is simply not possible that a professional photographer just happened to be lurking in the car park. It was staged to merch the pseudoscientific acupuncture sticker and the clothing.

Frankly who cares, she has form for tipping off the paparazzi. It's not illegal. As for a low profile...12 pap shots in 6 months and endless puff pieces in People and Us magazines.

ILikeDinosaurs · 15/08/2023 08:36

No, it isn't inconceivable. It's perfectly conceivable that there a many paps in Montecito, seeing as some of the biggest celebrities live there. Meghan is probably one of the biggest draws at the moment and while there is demand for even a single sighting of her, the paps will be there.

Pancakebatter · 15/08/2023 08:44

Which other celebrities live in Montecino who are regularly papped going about their business there, particularly in the early morning? I don’t believe for a minute it wasn’t prearranged. The artfully turned up coat sleeve, the coat, etc. all contrived.

polkadotdalmation · 15/08/2023 08:49

I think Meghan is going to restart the Tig and looking at lifestyle and health, hence this staged shot of this acupressure sticker. Makes sense. The company have already issued pictures of her (those empty car park photos) wearing their sticker and explaining what they do.

There are many credible examples of MM courting publicity. ie; She set up paparazzi to photograph one of her early dates with Harry in London. Also photos of her out grocery shopping.

She also tipped them off to the location of Tyler Perry’s house.

They filmed so many private interactions to use on the Netflix mockumentary. Videos of themselves upset.

There are photos of them from the time of the Queen’s funeral during a period of a media blackout that were obviously set up.

Also, Omid Scobie tweeting their plans to travel to Scotland, then backtracking when they changed plans. Had to come from them, among other things he has shared.

Details about Lilibet’s birthday party “leaked” or whatever you want to call sharing your private family events with the press.

I wouldn’t criticize or question it if I was a supporter. They can do as they wish.
They have a right to generate publicity and craft an image of themselves. It just doesn’t seem genuine and there will be suspicion every time she is photographed now.

I presume you want her never to be out in public again. Never leave her house

All your examples are her living her life which she, quite obviously, is entitled to do.
As you do. As I do.

I am stating a simple fact. If you repeatedly get caught doing a thing then people are often going to wonder if you are doing that thing again.

Like the story of the little boy the cried wolf. Only this is the story of the woman that called the paparazzi.

Exactly. Nothing wrong with it, she can do whatever she wishes. It's just the hypocrisy of saying the paparazzi were making their lives unbearable, they needed to escape to Canada to find privacy, and the paparazzi following them everywhere meant they needed high level security paid for by the British (or American) taxpayer.

Well done Meghan. Live your life as you choose

@AliceOlive , was actually defending Meghan wearing her coat previously, as someone from the US she has more incite into the weather there .

Angrycat2768 · 15/08/2023 10:21

Isn't it a good thing that she is doing what she said she was going to do, and trying to self finance her lifestyle? Good for her is she is. Im not paying for it so its none of my business.

She is being blamed for being the evil mastermind behind poor dimwit Harry being brainwashed into slagging off his family. He is the one who has slagged off his family. She said things 2 years ago about some courtiers having questions about the colour of Archies skin. Is that really beyond the realms of possibility? The rest of it is fown to the press. Even if she called Backgrid, it is the press who are creating the market for the pictures by printing them. Nobody is forcing them to publish the photos. And no one is forcing people to psychoanalyse her every move from one photo and drive ad revenue to stories about Meghan, making her the most lucrative member of the Royal Family in terms of click throughs and engagement. That is everyone who pores through newspaper websites searching out Meghan stories in order to click on them and make comment about ' privacy' as if that means that she can never leave the house.
