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?

Im asking for proof. Being in some scuzzy American papers isn’t proof, hun sweets lol

Oh sorry is town and country mag American? I thought it was uk, but just Google prince william, roset and pegging and I'm sure there'd be a very legit source to your likening

Is this real??
Are you sure a Year 8 pupil didn’t write it for their creative fiction project??

Well tbh, when we did the book for our bookclub(It makes me fee queasy just writing that) some of us thought the ghost writer must have immensely disliked Harry and was taking the piss and seeing how much he could get away with.

I think the real question is, why are you so obsessed and have you thought about taking up a more interesting hobby?

A rumour debunked numerous times by the source Giles Coren who has insisted that he was joking and it was a drunk tweet. Very much like the one he later put out about being intimate with Meghan while Harry was in the shower and the ménage a trois. The difference is how the two tweets were treated. One was taken by people who have a pro Sussex agenda and used in propaganda. One was taken in the spirit it was intended other than Giles Coren having to mass block the Sussex Squad on X who bullied and threatened him following it.

Town and Country mag had a story about it

Do you mean the story confirming rumours of the affair are completely false?

You may be the type to not understand basic information so I’ll try and make this as easy as possible: that isn’t proof of an affair.

HTH.

Do you want to try again?

Arguing with the afternoon shift is always pointless. But I admire your sticking power.

I guess I'll make another thread because we really need to get to the crux of things especially that other rumour I don't want to mention here so as not to derail

I reckon it wasn’t ‘crocodile’ at all. I reckon Archie’s dad read the first draft of ‘Spare’ to him and Archie said ‘crock o’ shite’.

😂

Did anyone listen to the audiobook?

The deflection to derail this thread is quite tedious… 🥱

@CantDealwithChristmas
"Straight Out of Compton".
There are those of us who have never heard of Compton or an album of that name.
I assumed it was class, that is the real issue in the UK rather than race
(No, I am not saying that some people are not racists, but we do not have the same background as the US, and social class as perceived, is a bigger issue)

But if you'd never heard of Compton, how could you make that assumption?

The headline would only make sense to people to knew that Compton is a city made famous by a globally known hip hop group and a blockbuster film.

To anyone else it would be meaningless.

So either it's a reference to an incredibly exciting, well-known and creative worldwide phenomenon (West Coast rap, responsible for billions of album sales across the globe over decades), or it's nada. What it's not, is racist, as Meghan tried to pretend.

No it’s not but it also doesn’t report on an affair between William and someone else.

Thwre are no legit sources. Morons tweeting and celebitchy does not make it really.

YOU made the claim - so I think it’s reasonable to ask you to show us a reputable source about this. It can’t be too much to ask?

Are you not mortified at yourself for wrongly accusing an innocent woman with children of an affair?

The worst part of the book for me was when Harry makes fun of his old school matron for being elderly and having a spinal deformity and physical disability.

the rank misogyny was pretty yeuch.

Yeah me too. It was just .... grotesquely unpleasant. Among a sea of other unpleasant things as well, granted.

I recall when that little story nugget was being reported in the papers. My 78 year old father had tears in his eyes just listening to the reports recounting it. He was the HT for a special school and has scoliosis himself. He was just so astonished that anyone could be so gratuitously, gleefully nasty- okay Harry was a kid then - whatever. But to recount that 25 years later as a privileged adult from the most privileged family in the world like it was something funny. I'll never forget seeing the hurt, the anger, the disgust in my father's eyes.

I'd been willing to give H the benefit of the doubt before that. I thought he was traumatised and emotionally undeveloped but that revealed who he truly is inside, to my mind. And yes, Harry is keen to hark back to his mother blah blah. I don't think for a second Diana would ever have made fun of a disabled woman.

I don't follow any of this but I've read this thread and it's a rabbit hole I can't get out of!! I'm most intrigued by the significance of the word 'crocodile' - what am I missing?

I didn’t know about the scoliosis thing until this thread.

Given his cousin who he’s close to has scoliosis I think this is unforgivably cruel. How dare he EVER lecture others on unkind comments.

It’s ‘ waffle maker’ I don’t get (?) Were these really ‘known’ pre M & H referencing? NB: also ‘roasting a chicken’ as the proposal was in fact a picnic in grounds…Some are surely picking up
on these refs retrospectively & ascribing meaning. Why would M & H be childish/crude (?)

I found one source that suggests “Crocodile is a lavatory reference for enormous faeces left behind and not flushed.”

Pretty juvenile if this is true.

Yes absolutely childish and silly <sniggers a lot like a silly child>
