Why do Harry and Meghan tell porkies that are so easy to prove wrong?

Starting with the porkie that Archie wasn’t gonna be titled. Anyone who understands the Letters Patent would know that as long as the Queen was alive this was never gonna happen. I said this when watching the Oprah interview and I’m pretty appalled they told such an easily provable lie.

Then Harry said that daddy cut his security off. Anyone who knows about RAVEC knows it is independent of the Royal Family and Charles couldn’t do this if he tried. Same with “Only titled people get security” / this was so easy to prove wrong.

And why are there 2 versions of the proposal story. Did they think we wouldn’t notice? Is one a Hollywood version for their American audience?

The same with the ‘how they met’ story - in their engagement interview they said it was a blind date, to Netflix they met on Instagram.

I also was puzzled at her saying she never wore bright colours and that royal women could never wear the same colour as the Queen. It’s just nonsense. See below pictures.

Why do they do this? My theory is that everything they do now is for an American audience who are used to the reality TV narrative of “Some scenes have been created for entertainment” style TV and just accept their narrative as partly fictional, as long as it’s entertaining?

I think the question is Why is their grandiosity so annoying and culturally tone deaf? Why does everything have to be people kneeling to thank them, dancing in the street, a 'freedom flight', M collapsed on the floor, catastrophic car chases (in stationary traffic)? It is like watching a very manipulative bad movie that runs for years. A bit of self deprecation and self reflection would go such a long way and they seem incapable of it.

Didn’t MM claim she’d never heard of Harry, or didn’t know who he was?
Then a photo turns up of her outside Buckingham Palace…
Given the press saturation of Charles, Diana, their divorce and her death, and “those poor boys” MM would have had to have lived on Jupiter to have missed who Harry was!
A bizarre thing to say!

Agree! she had met Beatrice knew her but didn’t know who Harry was?
Just another lie, as you say op there are SO many.
Didn’t Megan DM some British guys I seem to remember Matt Cardle (singer) got a message from her about arranging a date, she then hit the jackpot when she managed to get Harry. I remember being so excited watching their wedding with the rest of the country, watching Charles walk her down the aisle. They have just got it so wrong with their victim mentality and lies.

IsoldeWagner · 29/05/2024 08:10

All these lies are for the purposes of either self aggrandisement or maintaining a "victim" narrative.
They should just stop with it now and try to find something better to do with their time.

Of course, it's fascinating to observe two of the most privileged people on the planet complain about everything that is wrong in their life,

house not big enough
not paid enough
not liked enough
wedding not good enough
dad stopped their allowance
take freebies from people they never met before,
explain the fun of taking street drugs,
call other people names
complain about others and then do the same things themselves

So much to continue to keep us intrigued and amused.

People forget that Harry has suffered childhood trauma and this often changes the way your brain develops and skews your outlook on the world.

She used to be attractive (on the outside at least) but she’s looking very rough lately.

Whether someone likes her or not, I can’t see why anyone would be jealous of her.

FanofLeaves · 29/05/2024 08:18

I’d love to know what really happened over the bridesmaid dress debacle too, because I’ll bet it’s not the way Meg tells it. My favourite story about the lead up to the wedding (the one that just a spectacle for the plebs, apparently) was Meghan losing her shit with the staff at a food tasting and the Queen taking her to task and saying we do not talk to people like that.

To the BeKind brigade, they do not come across as particularly decent people, on top of all the lies, so I don’t really care to #bekind

Also, beauty is subjective. I’ll agree that Meghan looked radiant on her wedding day but I don’t think I’d put her up there with the most beautiful women in the world, by any stretch. That’s by the by, though, it’s irrelevant how beautiful anyone thinks she is.

Weed does the same thing apparently, especially when taken in adolescence. Idk if that had a bearing on anything.

Harry has the best counsellors, therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists at his finger tips along with life coaches, hypnotherapists and more. Plenty of us have lost parents as children, myself included. Plenty of us have had difficult childhoods. The overwhelming majority of us do not the resources available to them to allow them to heal.

To use this as a lifelong excuse is to infantilise a grown adult.

He's a multimillionaire with a lot of time on his hands.
He's not exactly had to wait for an NHS therapist, and deal with work, children, DIY, cooking, shopping, cleaning etc whilst dealing with his problems, like most people have to.

@Mummyoflittledragon cross post!

Wheresthebeach · 29/05/2024 08:20

Its bizarre. The absurd stories (dancing in the street, car chases), the attacks on his family, the constant claims of victimhood, all from a position of enormous privilege and wealth. I particularly like Harry saying that his memories are as valid as 'so called objective facts'. Gah...what nonsense. I think they simply want to be the most important people in World - feted and waited on and will say anything they think will get them sympathy and attention.

Look at the long term impact of weed smoking, it's not harmless.

As did his brother and I don’t see him behaving in the same way.

I think it’s partly a folie a deux with the pair of them .

Why do you even care. Maybe concentrate on the failings of those actually in the RF who we are having to pay for

What’s so weird about that food drama is that it was about eggs. She’s not a vegan so why the fuss? I believe the chefs when they insisted there were no eggs in it but she still had to make a drama out of it, accusing them of lying. I think she liked the power and saw herself as some kind of old style royal or Roman emperor who ruled with an iron rod.

Yes we are all just jealous hags rather than making constructive criticism of a serial liar 🙄 are we jealous of Harry’s looks too?

I think in her mind if you’re in a position of power you throw your weight around to show the minions who is boss. Perhaps that’s what actresses do when they get famous, but it’s not how a civilised person behaves. It’s classic nouveau riche behaviour really.

What’s this story about? Has it been verified? I don’t know what happened with flower girl dresses. However, the fact they weren’t fitted so near to the deadline is absolutely unbelievable quite frankly. They could have sent people to measure the children wherever they were. Or paid to have them measured by local seamstresses and the measurements sent. Or better still, sent the measurements and buy from a specialised maker. Whatever happened was pretty disgraceful. Poor people who had to redo it and they still didn’t look right; and then sending them out without socks or tights. So much of that wedding sounds like it was organised by chaos.

Vespanest · 29/05/2024 08:37

A couple have made tens of millions out of gossiping but somehow it’s not “nice” to gossip about them. I do not think I have ever come close to being as unkind as Harry. They may have moved on from spare, and the rest of the kiss and tell shit, although Harry was still at in Canada this year. They or their supporters do not get to dictate when others are finished talking about it. As for the lies even the writer and Harry have admitted it’s a man’s memory (on drugs) and not necessarily the truth. Maybe Harry should take others advice on here and talk about Andrew.

I don’t remember all the details but it’s been reported loads of times. Something about a cake that she wanted eggless. At the tasting(s) she accused the royal chefs of putting eggs in, they denied it etc etc. it just seemed such a pointless drama considering she’s not vegan ( I think she pretended to be for five minutes). I’m pretty sure it can be googled.

Lassi · 29/05/2024 08:39

I thought I would really like MM (I even bought her cook book) and I never heard anyone say anything bad or racist about her. Then I slowly started to think the way she acted and the things she said were not adding up at all. Now I think she’s incredibly toxic. For someone who claims to want to bring peace and harmony to the world she actually does anything but. I have had to mute certain words in twitter because of the vile comments her followers spout about the UK. I just don’t recognise the UK in the way they describe it. There is racism here like there is everywhere but they seem to believe that everyone in the UK despises MM because she is black. They love every single negative news report about the UK, including things like child poverty which I find absolutely abhorrent. I was never a royalist but even I have started to feel sorry for them. How despicable that they say disgusting things about William and Kate and their children. Harry and MM have made everyone believe that Kate is a rascist, with no evidence whatsoever. No wonder William won’t have anything to do with them. I don’t wish any harm on Harry and MM but I hope they fade into obscurity. Their American fans seem to delight in them being seen with people like the Kardashians. If that’s the life Harry wants and the people he wants to associate with, then he really is an utter fool and it is little wonder his family don’t want anything to do with him.

Wheresthebeach · 29/05/2024 08:41

I think they cause so much uproar because they want to. People find the complaining and victimhood of two extraordinarily wealthy people tiresome and the lying is just plain wrong. Yet they do it again and again. They appear intent on causing their families as much damage as possible.
If they'd gone to the US, worked, kept quiet about the RF and made their own way in the World it would have been great. They were popular at one point, but now that they don't have the protection and guidance of the RF machine they are showing themselves to be dishonest, lazy and entitled.

Choux · 29/05/2024 08:42

They have a very loose relationship with the truth. The getting married 2 days early being a prime example as it's easily provable to be a lie and has been confirmed as such by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
