Harry and Meghan are so petty and bitter

They knew that announcing Meghan's new venture would be big news. So they dropped it 45 minutes before William was due to speak yesterday evening. At an awards ceremony dedicated to harry and William's mother's memory.

But that wasn't good enough. Oh no. They then announced the winner of their own awards. While the Diana awards were still going on and Prince William was handing out prizes.

Is there no level this petty, bitter couple won't sink to?!

was it promoted as “have smoke blown up your ass”?

Why pay when you can get that for free?

Any ho ! Back to the title of the thread pronto!!!

Yes op , I do agree on the provided points that m&h do indeed seem petty and bitter!

I’m sorry, but brain like a friggin goldfish right now with my friend Peri. Thanks for the reminder. Easily distracted.

I felt sorry for the participants having to go to two different venues lasting over seven hours and didn't finish until 1am.

I would imagine opinions were formed.

Which no doubt some will feel is completely unfair.

@Salemforcuddles you were quite right to share this information. It made me laugh. Up your chuff is such a hilarious turn of phrase

How was it described on the spa menu? I'm guessing not Smoke Blown Up Your Chuff.

An ancient technique to unblock your chakras, lie back, part your legs and let our experienced smoke blowing therapist gently waft clouds of aromatherapy scented air up your chuff.

Maybe the Queen did. We don't know. Fergie never did a TV show throwing the Queen under a bus though.

It always amazes me how people don't look at history. Why have we still got a constitutional monarchy when most other countries have lost theirs. The Queen was very wise. She knew that if the monarchy looked like it was milking the system, keeping the privileges and not putting anything back (like H and M) it wouldn't last very long (Cf Marie Antoinette, the Tsars..I know there are many other factors obvs). H and M aren't so bright unfortunately and didn't understand so went off in a huff and did Oprah and all the other horrible things to upset the grandparents just before they died. But the Queen had no alternative unfortunately.

Then they should have everything in their power to keep them in the fold and not let their personal dislike of Meghan get in the way. Meghan wouldn’t need to earn off her royal title, she sacrificed a career to marry into a family that betrayed her. Her family’s security need is because she’s married to a Royal. If I were her I would’ve prioritised the security of my kids and husband. Good for her.

In what way is it beneficial?! I'm strangely fascinated. Would it tickle? Or burn? Or make you fart?

It's supposed to be cleansing, I was a bit worried about it all going horribly wrong and being a bit singed

Aww we need a new thread about the benefits of having smoke blown up yer chuff now!!! That's made my night! 🤣🤣🤣

Not sure how the royals could "keep them". You can't stop someone determined to live off jam and chutney sales. Apparently that was H and Ms plan right from the start and now that dream is about to come true and in front of the whole world. It's pretty damn impressive.

How do we know they didn't do everything in their power?

H&M requested a half in, half out arrangement, all the prestige, privilege, and perks, without all the dull Duty stuff. What kind of a deal is that?

I get doing the best for yourself and your family, but not at the expense of others. Not by publicly lying and throwing their family under a bus; a family that cannot defend itself and who you were trusted by. And then leeching off that same family while also denigrating them at the same time. If it was your family and they did it to you what would you think. Would you do that to your grandparents that you knew were dying?

It amazes me how people's moral compass these days is so skewed. You can't defend what they have done by " Charles behaved like a child on tv" or any other whataboutery. If you take a step back and look at it objectively it's appalling. And that's why people get so irritated by H and M still constantly clamouring for attention. I'd rather not hear from them ever again. Harry used to make me laugh when I read about him. He doesn't any more.

The family is hardly a victim and we both have biases. So who we believe will depend on our biases and I do believe that family threw them under the bus.

I don’t know Meghan Markle, she could be a saint a or gold digger and bully, as she was described in the press, or something in between. My point is that an institution that can accommodate Charles and Andrew can certainly accommodate a gold digger.

And they should have, she would have been an asset and the optics of chasing a black princess was certainly not good. I really don’t care whether RF were personally racist to MM. The fact that they didn’t care and were uncompromising at best, shows me that they are very short sided and not very competent.

By the way, all the Royals are earning money off their titles. Many of minor royals have jobs or had jobs because of their connections. Only H&M are doing it more obviously. Again, H&M are not amazingly talented people, they have a limited time to establish a business for their family. What did the RF think would happen by throwing them to the wolves?

Meghan while not amazingly talented might have established herself in the show biz.

yes I agree! The men in grey suits should have confiscated her passport and stopped her receiving medical attention so she wasn’t mentally strong enough to leave the country. Oh wait a minute…

The thing I find particularly morally indefensible is , while at the high point of the BLM furore so guaranteed to do the most damage to people, lighting a touch paper under your family by making false accusations of racism. Accusations made in full knowledge of your grandparents imminent death. Racism accusations which are later denied by your husband as being untrue. Why would the family care about Meghan. Why would they want the sort of person capable of such cruelty to stay. Nice try defending them though. Interesting viewpoint.
