Imagine using the victims of a school shooting for attention and PR. There seem to be no depths to which this pair will not sink

Meghan and Harry sing happy birthday to school shooting victim family

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle make a surprise visit to Uvalde, Texas, to support the family of Irma Garcia, a teacher killed in the 2022 school shooting.

The post I responded to was implying that Camilla and the author are friends so the info must have come from Camilla.

It seems you want to use my post to change the subject so you can talk about Meghan instead?

That was not my intent, no.

But we are on a thread titled ‘More Sussex PR Antics

There would need to be 50 Meghans to accomplish all the evil things she’s accused of doing.

It would be interesting to know which of the things discussed on the thread didn't happen

AliceOlive · 17/05/2024 12:31

I’d like to know that, also. The original post said she has used the Uvalde tragedy to promote herself. That’s a matter of opinion and commentary on optics.

What else?

AliceOlive · 17/05/2024 12:34

Another complaint is that Meghan and Harry have met with members of a group known for trolling the BRF for years now, including the ongoing trolling of a woman ill with cancer who Harry used to say he loves like a sister. They included one of the leaders in their Netflix series and have failed to publicly denounce the behavior.

This is fact.

Since they speak about online bullying, people find this highly hypocritical.

AliceOlive · 17/05/2024 12:40

I can’t bring myself to suffer through the thread again. But I don’t agree with the implication that it’s all concocted nonsense or unfair criticism. Not in a world where a woman is vilified for taking a snap of her family and cleaning it up by the same people who claim hatred if they even read any less than gushing comment about Meghan’s wardrobe.

They have come to the US and do nothing to improve the lives of their fellow Americans. They want to rule the US yet don't put in the constituent hours that good elected officials spend with the people in their district. They do nothing to help with poverty, homelessness, and destruction of wildlife that is endemic in California outside of their gated community.

Instead, they spend their time flying around in private planes, playing sports with a dodgy reputation for the treatment of animals, and publicly acknowledge people whose main goal in life is to destroy the RF.

Someone mentioned that they thought they saw Loki in the portrait of Charles. Perhaps it was a reference to Harry.

Erm.why do you think they should be improving the lives of Americans, they moved to America as private citizens. Jus like if you moved there. Who said they want to rule the US?

Uvalde. Ordinary citizens would donate to a reputable charity, not show up with a camera crew and pose at memorials.

NYC. Lots of presidents, politicians, foreign dignitaries and totals live of visit NYC with little to no drama. Many live as private citizens. Trump is on trial and there is less hoopla in the streets. H & M turn a shoddy job by their own security into an alleged near-death experience during what is normally a short drive in gridlocked traffic. Not the actions of private citizens.

Sussex supporters are hardly in a position to point fingers at Catherine for editing a photo, given the amount of Barnet-related Photoshopping that appears to be going on.

It is, it's over the top and embarrassing. Deeply unprofessional too.

Well they are doing a pretty sterling job of looking like they do!!

"Private citizens" do not tour Nigeria, last time I looked!

So what happened to their philanthropy and humanitarianism? All swallowed up by self-aggrandisement and self-promotion!

Oh no, one is quite enough!! Turn a blind eye all you want - the facts are all out there in plain sight.

AliceOlive · 17/05/2024 14:32

I think you have to have a boatload of gall and be completely bereft of self-awareness to be an actress married to a prince and sit on a stage with the first woman and first African to hold the position of Director-General World Trade Organization and talk about leadership.

Runnerinthenight · 17/05/2024 14:49

Wickedlywearynamechanged · 16/05/2024 10:25

But Charles has more experience and is smarter because of that experience. William is learning, but he’s been busy raising his kids for some years now. William seems to be a family man: Charles always had different priorities. I don’t know if he’s weak. Or if he just pleases himself and keeps an eye out for what is best for him and the monarchy. I’m sure he loves both his sons, but they always came second in his life to his own desires from what I can see.

Edited

I think Charles puts the monarchy first, as his mother did before him.

While dressed as if you were on your way to a cocktail bar.

Nothing wrong with the dress itself, it would be fine for an evening party, but completely inappropriate for this event.

AliceOlive · 17/05/2024 14:57

I generally agree but the dress would be the least egregious aspect of it.

I hope Meghan and Harry addressed Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala properly as “Madame Director-General” and “Her Excellency”.

I think basically she is a deluded narcissist. She probably believes her own patter and only occasionally gets an insight and that is when her mask slips and the true person shows. She hurriedly recomposes herself. I knew a man like this and the similarities are amazing. He truly believed everyone loved and respected him when it was far from the truth.

Viviennemary · 17/05/2024 16:43

She really does have a horribly inflated sense of her own importance in the grand scheme of things, being a royal made it worse but she didn't like having to acknowledge Kate had the plum job and always would have. Harry had clever PR people who made him out to be really popular. Thue are no longer doing that. same thing happened with the queen mother. Nations favourite granny. Spoilt brat really same as Princess Margaret.

It's the only explanation.

Wickedlywearynamechanged · 17/05/2024 19:54

@BemusedAmerican

Newsweek wrote about the visit to Uvalde. Meghan didn’t take a film crew and Archewell has contributed to building a playground there since (thus contributing to the lives of American children). Ulvade

I feel sorry for the father of one of the victims who just had to speak out because the untrue reports of this, and other things, were distressing for him. We live in an age when media does not care who it hurts in pursuit of clicks and bucks.

This has been talked about on the RF forum before, and the film crew accusation (started on x) debunked. We have also talked about the playground. I’m surprised no one on this thread remembers.

Anyway I’ll leave you all to your varying recollections.

Meghan Markle Uvalde Texas Visit

Meghan Markle defended by Uvalde victim's father

Claims Meghan brought media to Uvalde after a school shooting are "far from the truth," according to the father of one victim.

RoseAndRose · 17/05/2024 20:04

Did anyone ever say she took a film crew?

Everything I've seen stated that she took photographers, and that there are pix showing that she posed and reviewed images before leaving.

(Very Blairite to deny something that's not actually what the issue is - but blatant deflection is much more readily spotted now)
