Part 6 of positive threads, delving into all things Meghan and Harry. Whether it’s the causes they support, their business initiatives, or Meghan’s fashion choices (Harry’s too, on occasion 😉), there’s plenty to discuss Just a pro-tip - that there may be use of MLE terms and discussions of dupes - you might want to exit stage left if these things offend. This is a relatively drama free zone - let’s keep things light! Clinking a glass of lemonade 🥂 to @queentim for the original inspiration.

Why would it being a freebie be something that would cause aesthetic discomfort?

Because he's having to wear what he's given or sponsored to wear, so it may not be his choice. That's what some of these celebrities do.
Just a kind of "meal deal" as they say.

But why woud that cause me aesthetic discomfort.

I think that maybe accounts for why Harry and Meghan are often so badly dressed nowadays. The clothing ill fitting and creased. When Charles funded the clothing Meghan got bespoke Givenchy, Dior and McCartney, and she looked good. The pair of them seem to wear either free clothes, or ones they're paid to wear. They rarely look good imo.
Charles has certainly been a very generous Pa.

Dunno. Harry looks bad?

skullbabe · 16/07/2024 17:18

Hmm. So free clothes look bad. I see. Interesting. Good to know.

No, their free clothes look bad because they obviously don't want to pay for them to be altered or ironed. Like when Charles supported them financially, they could pay for tailors or someone with an iron.

He’s reminding you of a 1980s spiv out of Only Fools And Horses. It’s a natural reaction.

@Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar 😂
Harry probably looks round and wonders where the valet and the tailor are that Pa paid for!

skullbabe · 16/07/2024 17:48

Pa was so cruel. I said, “Pa, I need a valet when I leave the UK. You can’t possibly expect me to select my own underpants every day!” My brain cell was oscillating at the thought of it. PTSD flashbacks of the TK Maxx Saturday till queue, from the days when I had to do my own shopping ,made me break out in a sweat. I had to sit down. Unfortunately there were no seats available, so I sat on a servant. Tears sprang to my Diana like eyes. Pa looked sad, but was intransigent. “I’m sorry, my dear boy. Meghan blew your budget on her wardrobe. The see-through engagement dress alone would have paid your valet’s salary for a year. You’re just going to have to learn once and for all the difference between briefs and boxers.” He turned and walked away. That was my last conversation with him before Meg and I boarded our freedom flight to Canada. My final memory: Pa’s retreating figure, head bowed, the pinstripes of his perfectly tailored suit fading into the distance. All I could think of was, “How am I going to get creases like that into my trousers? I wonder if Meg knows how to use an iron?”*

Heartbreaking 😔. I thought nothing could equal the distressing tale of a young man being given the smaller bedroom than his brother, in whatever castle or mansion he was living in.
It's extraordinary that he's overcome this incredibly disadvantaged life and forged an independent career as a global citizen and professional whinger.

Folks, Prince Harry fricken’ NAILED IT last night!

He reminded everyone that his (well-deserved) award was for his work with the fabulous success that the Invictus Games have become, and all the great impact they’re having on veterans and their communities.

He was gracious about Mary Tillman, a woman who was less gracious about him.

His acceptance speech was a masterclass in confidently acknowledging and thanking all the relevant people, while making a plug for Invictus, who are busily preparing the first ever winter games to be held in Canada next February. Something to look forward to!

Harry and Meghan looked happy, worked the room saying hi to celebrities left right and centre, and had well pitched outfits for the occasion. And then is this a case of Meghan sitting between the two men I’ve ever seen her kiss???? Or maybe the other dude just looks like him???

So brilliant to see that Harry got a STANDING OVATION! Serena was apparently really nervous about hosting, what a conversion from tennis champion. She looked and did great too.

All in all another hugely successful sortie for M&H, after their Nigeria triumph. Nice to see everyone in such good spirits and having a great time… ignoring the usual sour-grapes, as we’ve all become so good at doing! 🤩

Are you on commission?

skullbabe · 16/07/2024 19:00

I like this! Very positive. 😊

Why thank you and welcome! It's mostly quiet because they really aren't out and about very much.

Do you pay to have your clothes all altered?

NoNekkidNonNigerians · 16/07/2024 20:06

I don’t.

But then I don’t court publicity.

Well who said anything who courts the public has to always wear clothes that have gone to a tailors and been altered. Maybe they are happy to buy clothes like we do and just wear them. Like the majority of people do.

DelectableMe · 16/07/2024 20:08

Spectre8 · 16/07/2024 20:05

Not all of them. Just the ones I feel could fit a little better. I pay a local seamstress.
I iron my own clothes and hang them up, though.
I think if I was a celebrity doing a lot of publicity for whatever I'd get bespoke clothing.

NoNekkidNonNigerians · 16/07/2024 20:09

But if I went out in things that didn’t fit, or looked a mess, then those around me would pipe up to say so.

NoNekkidNonNigerians · 16/07/2024 20:09

I’m not a stranger to an iron either.

NoNekkidNonNigerians · 16/07/2024 20:10

Or a decent bra.
