The royal family

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?

Yes, that was funny! The anti Meghan and Harry headlines which turned out not to be from any UK newspaper at all!
More deception.

Can't we ignore the derailing accustaions and just talk about what we think about H&M?

Been out and fallen behind, but I agree with this. Don't engage, report if necessary, and carry on chatting among ourselves.

What I do know is if I had to choose between M & C as my SiL I’d choose Catherine a million times over.

And if I had to choose one of the royal ladies to have a drink (or several) with, I'd choose Camilla. I think she'd be great fun.

Oh yes definitely. Camilla is meant to be a real laugh, very earthy. I can believe it.

willWillSmithsmith · 29/05/2024 20:42

Another thing I think is a load of crock is not yet three year old Lili looking into M’s eyes and saying “Mummy I see me in you”. How convenient to be able to shoe horn that in to her drivel in Nigeria. How close would Lili have been to see herself in M’s eyes and would a child that age come out with such a sentence? 🤔

Misrepresentation again. She never said any of that. She said she did not know much. How much is much. Again we do not know.

No it’s not misrepresentation, it’s fact! just because you dont like it or want to read it doesn’t make it untrue, Matt Cardle said she DM him for a date as she was in the UK it was in the papers, he had the DM insta message.
She had met and knew Beatrice, so she knew her ? She had never heard of Harry ? Really? She knew an even minor Royal but didn’t know about the future kings son or Diana’s son aye right oookkkaaayy

I do give a fuck.

On a thread, a very long time ago, when I was considered not black enough to join in, a very small minority and me fought so very hard for the history and pain which was dismissed - along with others that they also chose to dismiss and ignore the persecution of.

A few valiantly also fought for mongrels like me. When I say mongrels, I mean those of us not bold enough to give ourselves a bloody percentage because our ancestry is so muddy/unknown/so mixed/not ‘enough’.

I have never forgotten them.

Because I was always brown enough for them and the racism I experienced growing up was recognised by them. Seen.

Not prejudice. Not unconscious bloody bias. Sheer, brutal, bloody all out racism.

My friend, I will fight for everyone who experiences that. Including M.

What I cannot fucking do is ignore lies and allegations and hypocrisy.

Because those are the things that are fair bloody game.

For you. 🌻

@LumpiBolleaux thank you, this means a lot - and I apologise as what I SHOULD have said is SO many people as individuals support Jewish women, but as a class society doesn’t care. But you’re absolutely right.

IME and that of my older family members, black people and Jewish people always have each others backs 🫶🏽

And if she was friends with Beatrice (actually I thought it was Eugenie but doesn’t matter) then how on Earth did she mistake their father for the Queens assistant. Especially in his own house.

IsoldeWagner · 29/05/2024 20:49

Yes, I thought it was Eugenie she knew and met through contacts at Soho House. However, she had no idea who Prince Andrew was? Seriously? None of this makes sense.

Why does everyone focus on Harry & Megan talking about the family when we have been told openly by reporters/journalists that in the period when the press turned on Megan both William & Kate's and Camilla's press officers actually moved into Fleet Street offices so they could feed stories to the media easier.

They are ALL at it and I really wish we didn't have to constantly read stories about any of them. They are no more interesting to me than the desperate celebrities, all vying for the best press.

Pathetic.

@CremeFresh @Blueroses99 it was as if whoever wrote that assumed preg tests took around 30 mins.

Also odd she could be home an hour (?) post epidural, gas & air running out at the Portland (really?) & nothing on the menu to tempt so Nandos in the delivery suite.

You have heard of phones and email, right? and papers haven't been produced in Fleet Street for a couple of decades.

Wasn’t there a segment in either Oprah or the Netflix doc where they were complaining about the British press whilst images of newspaper front covers were shown and it turned out that none of the examples shown were British publications?

Yes. ITV had to change it for their streaming platform

Several of them were not British, and those that were, the headlines had been doctored to make them appear to say something different from what they actually said. For example, the newspaper was reporting what someone else had said, but the bit that made that clear was cut off.

Reflects very badly on Oprah and her research team, imo, but then I think she totally allowed herself to be used by H&M. I don't think she came out of it looking good at all.

IsoldeWagner · 29/05/2024 21:16

That's so dishonest, @Abouttimeforanamechange - how on earth can anyone trust anything from them? Such deception.

Didn’t they use paparazzi set up pictures from a movie premier for their Netflix documentary to inflate the interest the press have in them?

Im sure they’ll blame some pleb for this but I’ve a feeling they either encourage the exaggerations or refuse to shit them doen

Photo of Sussexes' being pursued by press was taken before they met

The image shows a large number of photographers purportedly fighting for space to snap sought after pictures of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

It's seriously thought by people in the area that she was moved to the Church where her Father is interred after the public funeral.

Ages ago, I watched a YouTube video made by a guy who goes around looking at interesting graveyards. He visited the church at Althorp. The Spencer side-chapel is surrounded by metal railings, the gate into it is locked, and the railings have alarms attached along the top. All to prevent people from getting in. Somewhat reasonable. But he managed to film a large slab set into the floor at the far end of the side-chapel. Apparently relatively recent, as in possibly around the time that Diana died, and there were no other Spencers who have died/buried there in the last few decades. Unfortunately, he couldn't zoom in enough to be able to see what was inscribed on the slab.

Very much not a conspiracy theorist but I subscribe to this.

Certainly explains why ghastly bro allowed the island to fall into disrepair until he was forced into repairs to the 'site'.

I've read comments from people who have actually visited the island that the "stone" columns, etc., are actually wood painted to look like stone.

IdoldeWagner · 29/05/2024 21:35

Oh, how embarrassing. Having to use fake images to suggest press interest in them!

BalloonSlayer · 29/05/2024 21:42

Another shot turned out to be press chasing Katie Price at one of her appearances at Crawley Court (West Sussex).

I genuinely think a researcher had googled "press photographers Harry" followed by "press photographers Sussex."
