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.

Interesting article from Newscorp, Australia arm, FirmBiscuit. thank you for posting the link.

To delve into royal Twitter these days (look, I just can’t bring myself to call it X) is to be submerged in a toxic soup of conspiracy theories about the duchess especially, with her generally painted as being Catherine de Medici done up in Carolina Herrera. (How long until someone accuses the duchess of trying to poison her foes à la ol’ Catherine?)

So true. I spent quite a few hours reading that part of Twitter, ‘royal Twitter, recently - just a look, see - and it’s insanity. It’s also leaked out of Twitter unfortunately.

The extreme, extreme polarisation of the discourse and conversation around the royal family, including the Sussexes, has gotten to such an exaggerated sense- and logic-free point where Meghan could single-handedly bring peace to the Middle East and she would be lambasted for failing to have fixed Taiwan and China too.

Yes. The anti Meghan rhetoric is extreme.

Imagine posters//twits haranguing the Save The Children charity. That’s downright mean and nasty. And fucking madness. Extremism.

.

I was happy to post it. You’re welcome! 😀

I think you may have missed 50% of the writer’s point, amusingly.

Brilliant. And Any others?

skullbabe · 25/05/2024 14:14

That's not quite true, is it? Harriman has submitted it to the NPG. They get a lot of submissions. They have yet to evaluate, catalogue it and decide whether or not it will go on display.

The picture has been accepted as being the third portrait of Misan’s which will be part of the permanent collection at the NPG. They have already decided.

So, Harriman submitted it, the NPG evaluated it, catalogued and put it on display?

skullbabe · 25/05/2024 14:15

Yes

DelectableMe · 25/05/2024 14:18

Interesting. According to their current catalogue the NPG have two portraits by Harriman - one of Marcus Rashford and one of Rashford and Adwoa Aboa.
Is this not up to date?

DelectableMe · 25/05/2024 14:22

https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp166377/misan-harriman
"Artist of 2 portraits".
It doesn't mean to say that they won't accept the one of H&M, but it may still be under consideration.
Unless others know better, in which case I will stand corrected.

I don’t think it’s on display? Only a fraction of the NPG’s collection is, of course.

skullbabe · 25/05/2024 14:28

I see. An artist has shared that another pierce of his work will be part of a permanent collection at the NPG and has tagged and thanked the NPG in sharing his news. Because the artist is Misan and because the subjects are H&M - instead of understanding time as a factor - we have what is happening here. Ok. You do you.

OP posts:
Serenster · 25/05/2024 14:31

(Having said that, if you look at the link DelectableMe posted it indicates that one of the portraits by Misan Harrison of Marcus Rashford is on display, with a green dot, and the location in the gallery given. so, in due course, when the collection is updated with the image of Meghan and Harry, you’ll also be able to see if it’s on display).

DelectableMe · 25/05/2024 14:34

You do you?
I have no idea what that means.
I had a look because I thought it was interesting that the NPG selected that picture, and not - say- the other one upthread.
I have said that it may well be in the gallery, but looking at the NPG it doesn't look credited at the moment.

DelectableMe · 25/05/2024 14:36

Yes, thanks, Serenster, that's what I was looking at.
There are portraits of H&M currently at the gallery. It's not about that. We shall maybe be able to visit and enjoy the Harriman one in due course.

Serenster · 25/05/2024 14:51

Just pointing out that nothing happens in a vacuum. Because Kate’s the Patron of the National Portrait Gallery, we also have the Sussex Squad tweeting and posting that this is delicious, and that Kate will be wailing, gnashing her teeth, crying and vomiting over a portrait of Meghan and Harry being on display at the NPG. Just like the one tiny example below.

(I think both sides are ridiculous)

Good points, @Serenster .
That's exactly what's happened and it's really so silly. It could be in a gallery, it may not, but really it doesn't indicate too much either way!

My god how childish. What stupid projecting of how these infantile people would react themselves 🙄

MrsFinkelstein · 25/05/2024 16:15

According to the NPG they've only just received it and have no plans as yet to display it.

Folks, of all the pathetic sour grapes comments of the day about how the photo has been acquired but not really as they have no plans to ever display it, it being a photo of sad losers Harry and Meghan who as we all know are trading on their titles and are money-obsessed attention seekers who are out to make Ps on the royal family’s back and and and (the usual f-ing tedious BS)…. THIS one takes the biscuit!!!

BRAVO 👏

“You’re “ grammar isn’t good enough to be criticising anyone else.

You've had trouble yourself with "Megan" vs "Meghan".
I'm sure you know these things can happen.

That’s not a grammar problem. It’s a legitimate spelling mistake.

Overtheatlantic · 25/05/2024 18:10

That’s not a grammar problem. It’s a legitimate spelling mistake.

Autocorrect often changes “you’re”to “your” if you slightly mis type it. Often you don’t notice when it happens. I think the poster pointed this out. So possibly you were being a bit picky

No one has said that. Why does being accurate in discussing a simple news item result in you making such nasty comments about the Sussexes?

Oh dear, are they going to be trolled now by the SS for explaining?

Did Meghan say anything publicly whilst in Nigeria about FGM, child marriage or child sex trafficking? I can't imagine that she would have seen fit to be silent on these issues and not use her voice and platform?

Agree.
what a missed opportunity.
The tour seemed completely vacuous. No idea what it was meant to achieve but they got to keep all the gifts they were offered so they ended quids in.

Jeezo, you're a bit triggered by a factual update of the situation.

Maybe take a step back, you seem a bit overinvolved.

Are you OK?

… no cigar, though.
