Harry and Meghan are so petty and bitter

[BigFluffyHoodie]

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?!

They've taken a physical beating?

I doubt it Isolde.

Nor were they ‘cast out’.

I think they’re referring to when Harry ended up in the dog food bowl.

It could be argued that they did not lose their friends and family but alienated them.

They absolutely haven’t had it easy but nor have they made it easy on themselves 🤷🏽‍♀️

Well, perhaps you could judge my original post. Can you come up with a reason why Meghan just had to announce her unformed new project on the night of the Diana Awards? The Instagram page and website that she has done nothing with since? And why they announced the winner of their own award on the same night as the Diana Awards? It just had to be the same night?

I'm sure there is a super altruistic reason.

As others rightly point out, the Sussexes are not held by any sort of protocol and can release statements, etc., on the days they choose.

However, it does not look great announcing a vacuum of a site on the night that was honouring Diana. His mother.

I could understand piggybacking on it all if the site was all fired up ready to go.

But it wasn’t.

At best it looked odd. Spiteful at worst.

@Mugglewumppp I totally agree. It seems very difficult to marry a luxurious indulgent lifestyle with the other side of their stated aims. Part of the problem of course is that the extremely wealthy philanthropists are exactly that and aren't seen to be scratching around to making an everyday living. The Sussexes do need to make a living. It's contrary though - if indeed a jar of jam or honey will cost a hundred bucks it stands out starkly against other ventures. Perhaps they can include something that is part of eg the Afghan community Meghan was involved with but that's a very different market and project. It's a tough one.

I just googled Tina Brown. Is it this woman?

No.

Tina Brown is as well-known, well-established journalist. She used to edit Tatler, Vanity Fair and The New Yorker.

@Mugglewumppp sorry never heard of any of these Tina Browns before 🤷‍♀️

Tina Brown is one of the most famous journalists in America. She is originally British. She was married to Harold Evans, editor of the Times newspaper.

Thanks @BigFluffyHoodie

They were cast out of the UK? I thought they fled ....

Flounced, more like...

When they weren't allowed to have all the perks of being royal without all the boring stuff.

Tina Brown wrote (among other books) "The Palace Papers", an even- handed account of the RF's history sine Diana's death. She's nobody's fan-girl.

Utter tosh!

I really, really struggle to understand why some people stubbornly refuse to see the reality of the Harry and Meghan situation? They vaunt sustainable, then she sets up a luxury website. They vaunt environmentalism, but consistently take private jets. They set themselves up as the epitome of kindness and consideration, but treat their families like shit.

What is wrong with those who are so blind they cannot see?!!!
