Mary Tillman says " There are recipients far more fitting. He publicly disrespected his family , ran away from service to his country. He is unworthy of this award"

She feels there are recipients far more fitting.

I think she speaks for many.

That's because it was for the pictures/Netflix etc.
They wanted the Daily Mail headlines, the clicks, the spotlight.
It wasn't actually about any kind of engagement with the process.

Thank God they aren’t working Royals anymore.

PrincessMee · 13/07/2024 11:02

I'm sure the Queen sat on her backside for hours, days, weeks and months to show respect to others. These two think only of their bank account.

I was thinking the other day that while I'm sure their flounce was seen as a crisis at the time in the RF, I bet now they're thinking it was a blessing in disguise - imagine having to manage these two, their egos, paranoia, jealousy and resentment.

Hughs · 13/07/2024 11:20

Plus I think their behaviour has only increased sympathy and appreciation for the RF, while their own popularity has fallen. Win, win.

I agree . After the OW interview and Spare I did wonder if the RF would retaliate but on reflection they did the right thing in ignoring them .
I can only imagine this infuriated H and M as it would have given them more gripes . The fact that the RF appear to have had absolutely minimum contact with the pair must sting but they cannot be trusted . They only found out about Catherine’s cancer at the same time as the public which speaks volumes.
I do feel for Charles as I am sure he loves Harry but I doubt William will ever speak to him again .

Good points. They don't have to watch what they're saying constantly, and Charles is saving himself £millions by not subbing them.
Result.

I read that after the OW interview, Charles was so distressed that he wanted to respond (and refute). However, grey rocking was the right thing to do.
They're being hoisted by their own petard.

In 80 years she sat through a lot of stuff.
They have nowhere near that level of duty and service.
Turns out service isn't universal.

Are they though? Where’s the justice? They seem to have gained no self awareness at all , they don’t work, they just swan about being rude and patronising, picking up awards for doing nothing.

PrincessMee · 13/07/2024 12:05

Times have changed. Harry thought he was more important than he was.

You have a good point. They do seem to have evaded consequences for all the vile stories, the lies and the greed.
However, I do wonder how long they can sustain it for, being quasi royals? Renting themselves out?

BemusedAmerican · 13/07/2024 13:13

Yes, but in the video in the Post article, the small tribute to Harry was cut off and replaced by a Good Morning America ad. I thought that was a nice pushback to his leaving early.

Edited for typos.

CremeFresh · 13/07/2024 13:16

The crowd sounded pretty hostile x.com/eyeswideshut996/status/1811763596130680966?s=46&t=zeqvo7Iw1m8V4kXAX7nn1A

BemusedAmerican · 13/07/2024 13:26

That looks like someone giving them the finger in the front. We extend just the middle one.

Vespanest · 13/07/2024 13:37

“Leave no man behind” just eff off early, this cannot of been arranged prior. I wouldn’t be surprised if Harry was having a form of a panic attack. Speech done remembering to be humble, the mantra I’m not the most important person in the room and then followed it up by walking out with a gaggle of security, PR and aides. At least in was during the ad break. Why just why?

BemusedAmerican · 13/07/2024 13:57

Not sure when the local drive -throughs close in that area. Maybe they didn't want to miss dinner.

CremeFresh · 13/07/2024 13:16

Dear Lord, don't they!

Bad enough turning up in the first place, but then leaving early so osentatiously was serious bad manners. Serena must be fuming at the damage this has done to her reputation.

They must be paying WME a fortune for them still to be representing them.

The longer they are estranged from the RF the less gossip they have . Let’s face it , most people watched the reality series and read Spare to get some gossip.
Do people really want to watch a programme about Polo or watch yet another cookery programme that has - apparently- been filmed in someone else’s home? Or buy overpriced jam ?
Their Netflix contract is unlikely to be renewed. Lemonada is postponed (?) and we all know what happened with Spotify.
Their USP is being part of the RF but as time goes by and the Wales children grow up , Harry will be even more irrelevant.

The justice is that their behaviour is losing them friends and influence, and with it the ability to earn the sort of money they need for their life-style. We only see and hear about the pubic behaviour, and that is bad enough.

Locusteater · 13/07/2024 15:07

I thought Serena Williams had distanced herself from Meghan so I’m a bit surprised that they still seem to be best mates.

Mylovelygreendress · 13/07/2024 15:08

Who knows ? Venus didn’t even try to hide her opinion !

Yes that is interesting. Could anyone post a screenshot of her face? I couldn’t find anything online.

I doubt they are any more. I believe they both are in the WME stable, which could explain why they've been around together more recently.
