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

[YaMuvva]

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?

Hey !! You appropriating my handle?

Why? Are you hard of reading.

I'm the opposite of jealous of the Harkles. Apart from a healthy bank balance which would be nice, there's nothing about those 2 I'd be jealous of - nothing

Because they are, unfortunately, sick and sad
individuals.

I think our government has done more damage to our reputation than they have and our reputation on the world stage hasn't been great for decades anyway.

And they aren't funded by the taxpayer, haven't been since they left so do tell me how they are still costing us?

DD clearly said "dead dog hedgehog" at about 14 months (she was very slow to talk, then didn't stop). As at the time we possessed neither a dog nor a hedgehog (quite randomly some 18 years later we have both as pets), we too assumed monkey-typewriter syndrome...

Still laughing at what @LunaNorth said. Imagining a cute little ginger kid saying “croc o shite” 😂😂😂 brilliant

Of course they cost us. Royal offices still deal with their affairs and not to mention RAVEC funded security and the court case that cost the taxpayer £500k with no knowledge of Harry is gonna foot the bill.

Yes the government have damaged our reputation but so have H&M.

Speaking personally I can understand people having affairs, I can understand that paedophiles exist but I can't understand the mindset of someone who tells lies that are so easy to disprove.

I'm interested in what kind of delusion you'd have to have to do that

Because other people don't actually exist for those sort. They're just the audience on which the liars rehearse their alternate realities and their 'truth'. Oh that didn't fly? I'll try this one.

Harry and Meghan repeatedly lie because they are Dull and Dim. If they didn't make stuff up then no one would be talking about them because they're simply not interesting enough under their own talents to hold media attention.

The claim to not know how to curtsey was another obvious and blatant lie. Meghan used to go to ballet classes, she even said (on her defunct blog?) after class she used to go out to eat with her father, so the dance training was not secret.

Anyone who has ever done ballet knows how to curtsey as every lesson ends with one. 🙄

I actually don't blame Meghan for a lot of this stuff. She didn't grow up here and probably never heard the term "letters patent" in her life. She was not aware of all the protocol and the rules and the pecking order and the rest of it and why should she be? However, it was Harry's job to lead her into his world and explain all this stuff to her, and he failed big time.

Not quite Her majesty changed the rules in case William and Catherine’s first born was a girl who wouldn’t now be leapfrogged by her brothers in line of succession. But she wouldn’t have been a princess but ant subsequent boys would be princes.

Meghan was offered guidance and she turned it down because she had Harry. Even Diana tripped up and she was brought up in royal circles, so why anyone at BP thought Harry would be an adequate source of advice is baffling. There are always the arcane details that someone brought up with them and taking them for granted might miss.

@YaMuvva
"Actually she changed the rules before George was even born (and before Meghan was on the scene) to prevent sibling envy of the Wales’s children".

I understood the letters patent were changed simply because under the old system, if Charlotte (a girl) had been born first, she would not have had a title, whereas George, if he had been born second, would have had.
The point being that the law was changed in 2013, so that Charlotte was in the LoS after George, despite being a girl. ie it was a law change to make girls equal to boys, and in future would be in the line of succession in birth order.
However, this could be difficult if the eldest child was a girl, without a title, whereas the second child a boy would have a title.
So, instead of the title being given to the eldest SON, a title was given to ALL the children who were direct heirs.
This compares to Princess Ann who comes way down the list after P Andrew and P. Edward, as the law was not enacted restrospectively.

@YaMuvva I know little about them (and care less tbh) but that picture in your op of Kate and the Queen in the same colour? They're both quite clearly saying to William "You told me she was wearing GREEN!" The scowl is right there. He's proper in the dog house.

My niece’s first word was “fingernail” - clear as a bell. I was there, it really happened, we were astonished.

I’ve never heard of those, I wonder what sex manuals they’ve been reading 😁

I think they lie because they can. They’re an odd couple, two strange people who found each other.

A poster pointed out on another thread that Meghan said she’d never experienced racism before the UK, yet had previously given an interview in which she said she’d had racist comments after a black actor was cast as her father in Suits, in 2013.

Why should she be?
Because she was marrying into it?
Of course she was told about it all

Re the curtsey thing - it’s one of those Meghan stories which has got a bit twisted.

I don’t think she claimed not to ‘know’ how to curtsey but that she didn’t know family members ‘had’ to in private.

I think it was perfectly reasonable for an American to not realize that the curtseying was not just done ceremonially in public.

I assume Fergie running out to ‘teach’ her was just Fergie double checking ‘the American’ got it right.

What was very hypocritical of her is how she told the story for the second time in the Netflix doc and completely mocked the whole thing - fair enough if you think it’s nonsense but it’s part of the whole royal package - if you accept and use the titles you are buying into the system. If you think the system is ridiculous you shouldn’t be so invested in the titles.

That is true but I’d the LP had remained the same pre-2013 only George would’ve been titled Prince not Charlotte and Louis.

why? What did the 1st lady of Nigeria say?

Because they're stupid narcissists.

She was talking about Meghan and her lack of dignity in her dress, and her "nakedness" and how nakedness isn't beautiful.

Nah she completely mocked it.
