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

I saw something about another PR push over the summer, and assumed that would be ARO.

I think they need to get something really moving on that, before people are forced to the conclusion that it's a damp squib.

No idea what the timelines are for the Netflix cookery/lifestyle show to appear, and whether there are any timing dependencies there. But I hope that something really happens soon

Which hotel was that? Was it soho house?

Why would you love a hotel manager unless you stayed there on a very, very, regular basis?

As for Prince shaped lumps? Man shaped lump unless he pinned his medals to the sheet and left a ceremonial robe on the floor.

And maybe a man shaped lump wasn’t that much of a surprise?

I don’t mind a wee bit of a frill around a story but he must know that most folk can tell when someone has over egged a pudding?

The man probably has a few experiences in life that would be fascinating to read about.

But no. He just went full jackanory.

My SIL works in a hotel management and there’s barely time to have a wee by the sounds of it let alone do the job of the lowest paid member of staff. She has had a few spells of sickness due to exhaustion!

A prince shaped lump 😂😂
He doesn’t like to forget to remind us of his title does he

Posted by mistake on the Nigeria thread but pertinent here:

Does, could anyone genuinely believe Harold's account of taking a slash in his kecks rather than relieving himself over the side of the boat he was on?

My chinny's reckoning hard 😎

Not I. And it’s just so weird to do and weird to share. Drugs?

Found a lie already

Yes linking Meghan with avocados was very stupid. But this article NEVER says she was ‘caught’ eating an avocado.

Im a pedant and I like words to be accurate. Because the nanosecond we start taking liberties with our language, instead of using the correct terminology, we are being dishonest - and when people do this IMO they have an agenda for it. A PP nailed it. The lies they tell err on the side of “well maybe they didn’t mean it like that” which is a haven for seasoned liars

Also I’ve just googled the goth article - it’s actually complimentary! Saying it’s good for goth girls to see profiling women wear black. Harry obviously sees something very wrong with being a goth.

Why was she with said Prince anyway. Harry tells us the hotel manager loved her and she loved him 💖😆

That’s an awful passage. I wouldn’t want my husband repeating every bad thing anyone ever said about me.

DH is downstairs and had just text asking why a load of pictures of “some shite about Meghan Markle?” has popped up on the family iPad - I forgot my phone was linked to it 🤣🤣

Also the avocado thing was not front page news. Another lie

I doubt it. They were alone, because we don't have Remembrance Sunday in the US. We have Memorial Day in May when we honor our fallen, and Veterans' Day in November when we honor all veterans.

I never even saw it until today. It’s is an idiot article. But anyone can see that. Bit sensitive to get worked up over it. Unless you are a dailymail fan.

They were alone

Not quite - there was a photographer present.

She wore dark dark lipstick to draw attention away from these bloodshot eyes, apparently

They couldn’t be late and they would “blame her”. She was pregnant. No one would have been in the least bit offended if they had pulled out because she wasn’t feeling great. I really don’t understand why they had to go out if Meghan was feeling the way she did 🤷‍♀️

If he’d have thought more like a ‘fucking husband’ he would have stayed at home with his wife.

He can’t blame that shit on being ‘fucking’ Royal.

He was more than happy to go to the Lion King premiere instead of a Royal Marine memorial dinner after all.

I hadn't seen it either, but it's interesting that her MUA/hairdresser was posting about her and her avocado toast on social media. I don't really get posting pictures of your lunch on Instagram, but it strikes me as being a bit unnecessary. It also strikes me that they might be inviting comment and hoping it would be look how cool/fresh she is or maybe after seeing praise for Kate seeking the same adulation.

I think Harold took too many magic mushrooms when he wrote this part.

“A biro. Wow”

Also that description of Meghan is, to me, the description of the kind of person who’s actually a bit of a twat - “direct, hard work ethic” describes perfectly the bully boss I once had

That’s the thing
Someone on MN after the Oprah intveirew said if she’d had gastric flu they wouldn’t have stuck a nappy on her and forced her to go out. Cancelling due to ill health would have been fine.

I do remember when they quit the RF thinking “good for them it looks shit”. But this retrospective whining and melodrama doesn’t cut them in the sympathetic light that they think it does

All the excerpts from Spare have made me absolutely cringe.

It's so badly written, I can't believe J R Moehringer wrote it! He's a Pulitzer prize winner and he wrote that crap. Hope the money was worth it.

Whoever it was on MN got it absolutely right OP.

No one - but NO-ONE - would have blamed them for staying at home in the circumstances. It would have been understood and instantly forgiven.

Not so much the Lion King premiere shite.

I’m now regretting not reading this fiction book.
Its hilarious
SEAL PLOT TWIST

Apparently it was KCIII who told them to sing to the seals because of they did they’d get pregnant. Apparently this was him showing off to Meg. He also told them to look out for Scottish mermaids.

Get off the drugs, Harold

Ye bastard.

You are actually selling it to me. I am waiting for a 25p charity shop copy though.
