Porkies, Perfidies & Pomposity - Harry and Meghan thread 2

[YaMuvva]

I do not take credit for the title

First thread here

Shall we continue the discussion? I will not be engaging with the posters spouting damaging and unfounded gossip

Of course not! I understand and the Palace had sight of the script so they pre emit dodgy headlines but that was it

Just another porky.

Spare didn't really contain much about the run up to the wedding, and nothing about decisions on her family (including the decision that Harry made or at least acquiesced in, not to meet his fiancee's father

I suspect she never intended to let H meet Thomas, or have him at the wedding, because he'd have blown the gaff on all the porkies she'd told about her family and upbringing.

Has Harry never ever met his FIL?

FWIW i think the Markle family on her dad’s side seem completely bonkers and creepy and I don’t blame her for ditching her sister she never really knew. Maybe it’s because I lost my dad young but I thinks FFS it’s your dad you were close once, make a phone call!

Aaron Korsh, the Suits showrunner, did sort of back up this claim in an interview. However I think Harry rather overegged the pudding as Aaron only recalls one line (and even that sounds a bit like he was trolling Meghan - the line is ludicrous)

My perception is that H&M try not to tell outright lies, but leave things open to (the worst possible) interpretation. They think they are clever, but it comes across as dishonest. I'm not sure if this is PR strategy or not, it doesn't seem to work well.

Has Harry never ever met his FIL?

No, never. Unless they've met on the quiet since H&M moved to the US. He certainly hadn't met him before the wedding.

I expected some sort of product launch from a Nigerian producer to be announced during or just after the trip.

So I actually have a copy of Spare - a family member who I’m 99% certain hates me and always buys me shit gifts, bought me it for Christmas but I refuse to read it and I cannot get it shifted on Vinted even for £1 so it’s in my cupboard. I might play a game of ‘spot the lie’ whereby I go to a random page and see if I can see a porkie 😂😂

They don’t come across well admittedly yamuvva but I think that any unhappiness or upset that they had with her father in particular regarding interactions with the press have long since been overshadowed by their own actions, inaction and oversharing and hurtful behaviour.

Maybe he was no longer useful? Or maybe he just didn’t pay for extra lessons in manners and class.

I thought that Omid’s job as head cheerleader might be in jeopardy after Endgame but he seems to still have the job. Presumably he knows too much to be cast aside and Doria would know even more.

Like many other situations I think sonic

Not just who you know but what you know.

Anyone know what would happen if someone had signed an NDA and then breached it?

Omid has been quiet though?

So I’ve dug out Spare and done my experiment.

This wasn’t a lie as such but a REAL display of delusion by Harry.

This was when they were secretly dating. He was surprised Meghan went to Waitrose and wasn’t recognised - a woman no one had ever heard of 🤣😁

This constant sob story of “boo hoo we couldn’t go to Waitrose together we’d cause a riot” - my heart bleeds you can’t go to have a posh overpriced shop.

Also it wouldn’t cause a riot. People would say “Is that Prince Harry? He’s with someone”. He dated Cressida and Chelsy for a good decade combined and I could barely point either out in a crowd. Riot my arse

Oops forgot the pic

Not a bad thing.

This Pick a Page in Spare game is strangely addictive.

How creepy is this - attributing “mummy” with successfully shagging his wife at a particular time of the month.

EDIT - got the images the wrong way round sorry

That was awful! I can't believe the niece actually believed that.

That sounds very far fetched. Assistant manager delivered the food and never noticed there were two plates?

H thinks the assistant manager didn't notice there were two breakfasts on the tray? Of course he noticed. But people in the hotel trade know to be discreet.

What a load of tripe.

I’m having a hard time imagining a hotel manager delivering breakfast so he can have a chat. That would annoy me to no end. And she couldn’t get him to move along? While her two breakfasts are getting cold?

And never noticed another person in the bed ! Why not just go into the bathroom , like any sane person would if they didn't want to be seen. Load of old claptrap.

He couldn't say it was a "man-shaped lump" under the duvet, could he? It had to be a "prince-shaped lump."

And she couldn’t get him to move along? While her two breakfasts are getting cold?

He was probably thinking 'I've got six more breakfasts to serve, I wish she'd stop yapping and let me get on.'
