Sussex Whiplash

602 replies

Sometimes, all the different media outlets who purport to know the inner workings of all things Sussex can give me whiplash. One moment the Sussex duo are on the outs with everyone, hemorrhaging or devoid of influential friends, making no headway with Netflix, losing money, can’t afford their mortgage and claimed to no longer be relevant. Then Suits saw an upsurge in viewers - fantastic ratings on Netflix, the BBC buys Suits, Invictus is being promoted via Harry’s award and trips, he receives a heartfelt standing ovation, Meghan finishes filming a new Netflix series purportedly linked to a nascent commercial venture and a new podcast is set for next year.

‘Lonely’ Harry, as some will insist on writing, is also not something that rings true for me. He has too much charisma, energy, interests, causes and is a people person. I also cannot think of anyone who needs to say I am friends with x, y, and z on a regular basis for the benefit or not of strangers. We don’t know who they are friends with, really. Meanwhile, pundits continue to engage those interested in the couple with whatever they can attributing the information to some made up mysterious ‘sources’. I suspect their real friends are quietly keeping their own counsel. Especially, now they have seen the mutual pathological loathing that Harry and the tabloids have towards one another. Can’t say I blame them either.

Now there is this:

Frank A. Bennack, Jr., Chairman, Maureen J. Reidy, President & CEO

and

Tribute Chairs

Ariel Emanuel, Jon Feltheimer, Whoopi Goldberg, Taraji P. Henson, Matt Johnson, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Gayle King, Debra L. Lee, Mellody Hobson and George Lucas, Scott Mills, The Honorable Nicole Avant and Ted Sarandos, Kerry Washington, Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex

Invite You to

Cocktail Reception 6:30 pm

Considering Whoopi G had less than favourable words for the couple I’d like to have been a fly on the wall at any meetings held. No doubt ‘netizens’ will have their microscopes to the ready to give us all their ‘insights’ regarding the events of the evening. No doubt I’ll get whiplash again when all their combined fingers hit the keyboards.

I'm not an advocate of the " it's family you have to reconcile" mode of thought. I know that my life is much better without having to contend with family drama. There are some people in this world who will always feel hard done by and who cannot or will not try to change that feeling and compare constantly . Instead they want to make out everyone else is the cause of their perceived situation.Their bleatings, their selfishness and their comparisons will forever drag them down. If you try to communicate with them you can see it is useless - in fact you are feeding their fire. It is better to avoid and not be involved. In fact I see this in not only Harry and Meghan but also in their SS supporters. They want someone to blame as to why their life is not the one they want, the perceived slights against them and I know let's blame it on the past or the way I look never the way I act because it is never them.

I too would love someone who supports H+M to explain why they hold on to titles labelling them as belonging to an institution they have called racist and toxic, which bullied them and from which they had to escape as a matter of life and death. And why they would inflict those titles on their children. Preferably something beyond 'why shouldn't they?' given all the obvious reasons why they seemingly shouldn't.

TheRecollectionOfTheGhostsMayVary8 · 20/07/2024 09:53

I’m the same PrincessMee

You get to a stage in life where it is unnecessary in life to have people in your life who make you second guess yourself, make you unhappy, play the victim.

If folk don’t being you joy? Get them gone.
It at the least? Keep them at a distance.

I want people round me that won’t lie, twist my words, sell their souls to the de’il for a handful of silver.

I suspect the RF feel the same.

Did anyone answer my question ( yesterday I think) about why H and M don’t give up their titles and break completely free from the toxic institution?
**
Any update about African Parks ?

I think people are tired of debating the titles thing.

It was debated to death on here back in 2023.

I did a quick advanced search (of titles only) and found 2 threads devoted to the titles question. I remember it as being repeatedly brought up and addressed on other threads too. It was a hot topic on here, sm and YouTube in the first half 2023.

I advise those who want to know the differing opinions on ‘why Hand M don’t give up their titles’ to do a search.

Africa Parks is now a gotcha question I think. It’s like asking when is Charles going to speak to the participation of the British monarchs, and Monarchy, in Colonisation and Historical slavery and the accruing of vast wealth from both? Other than asking for, and waiting for, ‘research’ to be done.

But African Parks abuse is ongoing. People today are being assaulted and deprived of access to their lands. And Harry could do something to stop it y speaking out.

Are you really saying that we should not be asking about his role in perpetrating abuse because his ancestors ruled a country whose people went out and colonised other countries? If Harry gets a pass, can I?

Mylovelygreendress · 20/07/2024 09:54

What time does the day shift clock on ?

TheRecollectionOfTheGhostsMayVary8 · 20/07/2024 09:54

Exactly Hughs.

It makes no fucking sense.

TheRecollectionOfTheGhostsMayVary8 · 20/07/2024 09:58

And African Parks is not a gotcha question.

I can understand Harry burying his head in the sand for he is a coward.

She is a feminist. She keeps telling us that she empowers women.

If I knew my loved ones were associated with something like that? I’d be saying something. In private. And if he didn’t step down? I’d be mentioning it in public.

LactoseDeservesTolerance · 20/07/2024 11:15

I think Harry would love to do family therapy with William and Charles. He could bring in Netflix.

Hughs · 20/07/2024 11:19

Still silence on the titles question I see.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 20/07/2024 19:01

Life has a way of biting you hard when you hold on to anger and negativity. Much better to build a bridge than pull up a drawbridge in a huff because you only value your own perspective and not that of the other person. When you fall into that pattern of behaviour it does not bode well for the future.

Did you actually type this with a straight face OP? Last I looked it wasn’t William who sold his family down the river for the mighty dollar and I’ve never heard him complain about his life, ever. There is only one person hanging on to anger and negativity, and we know which brother that is because he has told us all, repeatedly. Another sausage anyone??

IsoldeWagner · 20/07/2024 19:05

@BigWillyLittleTodger I know! The irony!

BigWillyLittleTodger · 20/07/2024 19:07

who won the lottery by virtue of being the firstborn.

I expect most people in life would think Harry has won life’s lottery, yet he and his fans on here expect the world to feel sorry he is only a multi millionaire Prince of the Realm, poor chap indeed.

TheRecollectionOfTheGhostsMayVary8 · 20/07/2024 19:07

I’m swithering between irony and hypocrisy.

That and wordy shite.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 20/07/2024 19:08

I think we are being played 🤔

IsoldeWagner · 20/07/2024 19:09

Indeed 😊

TheRecollectionOfTheGhostsMayVary8 · 20/07/2024 19:11

To be played I think they are going to have to rub harder.

Perhaps they can ask Harry for tips.

Or his spouse.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 20/07/2024 19:17

I very much agree with this, I find it very strange that just because you are related by blood people think you have to put up with any form of abuse, if this was a spousal relationship William would be advised to divorce his abuser and cut ties completely, no one would say to William put up, shut up and stay married to your abusive partner. Let’s be clear, Harry is abusive and William is very wise to cut him out of his and his family’s lives, he is utterly toxic.

Gorgonemilezola · 20/07/2024 19:18

William is protecting his wife and children from a toxic relative, as recommended on MN.

IsoldeWagner · 20/07/2024 19:19

"Harry is abusive" I couldn't agree more.

LactoseDeservesTolerance · 20/07/2024 19:19

Can you imagine someone with Kate’s story coming on MN to say “My husband wants me to reconcile with his brother and sister-in-law. Here is what they did to me.” Then telling those stories?

LactoseDeservesTolerance · 20/07/2024 19:22

But a Netflix special with Harry and Meghan in therapy with Thomas Markle would be very appropriate. All don’t believe there is such a thing as “oversharing”.
