Endgame Part 6

A turkey, absolute balls of stuffing or a right Christmas cracker? We'll let you decide. Please keep the discussion interesting, civilised and relevant - the Holiday Armadillo is lurking!

Yes, are we expected to believe that every single member of the royal family is a better actor than Meghan?

Not me. A sibling has.

I’ve met a couple but not spent time as such. Meet and greet. One remembered me years later. I have a distinctive coupon.

My sibling is like tPR. Nae pish. Doesn’t suffer fools.

I sway that way when inner Nan feels the need to appear. Surprisingly useful at times. 🌱

Some say acting. My sibling says different. tPR is a stotter.

I do believe, shape shifting permitting, that the others possess similar qualities.

especially when she is such an accomplished actress?

I don't think that photo of Charles cuddling Louis is fake. Kids don't snuggle in like that if they're not fully at ease with the adult concerned.

Omg that fake tear in the Queen's funeral. She has no shame.

At the PJ concert , Louis wanted to sit on his Grandpa’s knee which - to me- showed he is comfortable with him.

Because it is not the case.

What a vile response

"One year, left eye. Go!"
"Give me three seconds."

Why would Megan cry (naturally) at the Queen's funeral? She'd met her perhaps a handful of times and between her and Harry, had done a great deal of damage to the Queen's lifework and legacy.
So I agree with the pp, I wasn't getting 'genuine' there.

In addition the Queen was part of the institution that had done Harry so much harm ...

To play Devil's advocate there are a couple of reasons to cry at a funeral even if you are not close to the deceased.

In sympathy for someone you are close to who loved the deceased - I wept at my friend's child's funeral for my friend's sake and the hurt she was feeling.

Or in frustration and anger if you are feeling surrounded by animosity from the family you have been in LC/NC with.

I do think though that if you are going to let a single solitary tear fall dramatically from one eye while staring mournfully into the middle distance with the world's cameras trained on your face, it's a little unfortunate if you are already famously on record boasting that one of your acting talents is being able to cry on cue by letting one tear fall dramatically from one eye.

Not one really wants a crying ugly face 😂

Yes, I think there was plenty for her to cry over at the funeral (including self-pity!), tears at a funeral don’t always have to be for the deceased. They’re times of heightened emotion.

That said, it was quite well timed, and pretty. I didn’t detect strain or sadness, really - but then I wasn’t exactly inspecting her for such things 😂. Whatever, not a big deal, one solitary tear!

Also famously on record as saying she is not a crier irl, so found that aspect of playing her Suits character challenging.

Really ? I thought she was frequently on the floor sobbing ?

Asked by someone behind the camera if she can make herself cry, Meghan says: “Oh, I can do that so well. Oh my God, it’s crazy.
They’re like Meghan, one tear, left eye, go!” She adds: “Give me three seconds.”

She's on record as saying she can fake a tear from her left eye.

Linking to a really interesting interview with Andrew Lownie, who is an author, researcher and broadcaster, and one half of the excellent Scandal Mongers podcast. He has written books about Lord Mountbatten and Edward VIII, exploring and exposing their nefarious activities (CSA and conspiring with the Nazis respectively), and has a book in the pipelines about Prince Andrew's dubious record. In this interview, he talks about the difficulties he has experienced during his research (including getting sued) and official cover ups on all his subjects; and he also talks a little bit about OS and the Dutch debacle.

Interesting! He is a very credible speaker and it's good to know there are people out there willing to slog through all this investigating to get closer to the truth.

Why am I not shocked that "there's one rule for the rich and powerful, and one rule for everyone else"? Surely it has ever been thus!

Thanks for sharing, milkshake

"Oh yes, she's very cynical, and not very bright..."

Who?

That was a quote from Andrew Lownie re Meghan.

He is also scathing about Andrew, as I'm sure we all are.

I think he sees things very very clearly and he is extremely well documented in his research - when he's not being sabotaged by either the govt or the RF that is.

Bumping this thread because Omid Scobie - not the Sussexes’ spokesperson, remember - has just tweeted that:

Prince Harry is to be inducted into the Living Legends of Aviation hall of fame, joining other aviators who have made "significant contributions in the aerospace industry", including Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong. A ceremony will take place in Beverly Hills, CA on January 19.

“The Living Legends of Aviation hall of fame”. Really Harry? I can’t be the only person wondering what on earth would qualify him for that? Other than that he’s (a) famous and (b) can fly helicopters?
