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?!

Are they vegan?

Blimey what on earth is that poking out the top of that second pie? Looks like a claw hand?

Salemforcuddles · 15/03/2024 20:09

It's Scobie

It's pigeon pie!

Harry and Megan don’t have to coordinate their work with the RF. The title of this thread is so deeply offensive that I’ve reported it as hate speech.

😂Calling someone petty and bitter is not hate speech. Take a breath.

As I am invested in the range of preserves on offer (obvs) I wondered if the inspiration struck after having been to the Bob Marley premiere and hearing the wonderful song ‘Jamming’?

Grift 14. A day at the races.

Not sure where anyone on this thread has used those words?

The word despicable was definitely used. You can find it on the second page. I used hate because that's the vibe I get from this thread and in general.

I just don't get how Harry and Meghan can wind people up so much. It's a wee bit bonkers.

LittleGlowingOblong · 15/03/2024 20:08

The concerted (and largely successful) propaganda campaigns for the respective brothers is off the scale. This country has gone bonkers.

As for Meghan, good luck to her. A beautiful, talented and hardworking woman who’s pulled herself by her own bootstraps.

Edited

No she didn't! Her father won money on the lottery, then sent her to a private school and university.

You don't hear her mention that much.

There are many many people in the US who went to university who are living in 1 bedroom apartments.

Meghan was making speeches for UN groups while she was still a jobbing actress.

Private schools in the states are not the same as here.

You're quite right, one person back on page two.

Hardly a hate fest. More like a "How could they!" fest.

Changing the narrative now, are we? "Lottery winning father" is definitely not part of Meghan's chosen origin story.

Loving the gifs! 😂
Meghan pulled herself up by her own bootstraps? Hardly. She didn't exactly come from a poor background, private school and supported at uni by the dad, uncle got her internship etc.
Middle class and monied.

LittleGlowingOblong · 15/03/2024 20:29

I think I will leave you to your sarcastic certitudes, OP. Have a good night, and get well soon.

Allaboutthegrift · 15/03/2024 20:29

She absolutely did pull herself up by the bootstraps.

And then they were let go.

I don’t know whether to laugh at them or pity them. I certainly don’t hate them.

I’m sure ridicule was never their intention though.

Her dad’s a retired cameraman and her mum’s a yoga teacher. You’re welcome to think of them as monied upper classes if you like. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Kate’s dad was (I believe?) a Baronet and their family had become millionaires, and the whole aristocratic set still sneered at them.

Compare Meghan’s independent earnings to Kate’s.

The $4.99 Sizzler salad story is a more romantic one though!

IsoldeWagner · 15/03/2024 20:35

Thomas Markle was an award winning lighting director, not a camera man. Whatever you think of him personally (and I am not condoning his later actions), he was a well off man, and Meghan had a comfortable childhood.

Allaboutthegrift · 15/03/2024 20:45

$4.99 sizzler?

Sounds like a porn mag you’d buy in one of those Soho houses of ill repute.

No he wasn't (isn't) he may have some grand ancestors but he has no title himself

I don’t believe in comparing women. If you are a woman, you’ve had it done to you. It’s an awful feeling.

AliceOlive · 15/03/2024 20:56

What I’ve noticed over the last few months is William and Catherine don’t actually have many fans as such. What they have is people who hate Megan and Harry. all their ‘fans’ talk about is Megan and Harry.

If you don’t think they have fans, why do you connect people that are H&M detractors with W&K at all?

I don't think they have fans either. Or not so many. I don’t understand what it has to do with them.

I've compiled my Royal Rankings.

  1. Camilla. Queen of Hearts. Slightly tipsy right now. She's fired right in to the monster munch.
  2. Anne. Princess Of Anne. Think she's getting an early night for the rugby. If not, also having a chardonnay and a 20 deck of Rothmans.
  3. Meghan or Kate. Whichever one we're talking about here. Looked lovely in her wedding dress.
  4. Meghan or Kate. Whichever one we're talking about here. Constantly in the papers. Awful
seafronty · 15/03/2024 21:05

Having read the post 2 above my previous posting woud like to retract and apologise for comparing the Royal women. They are all just smashing brilliant stuff.
