Welcome to Part 7 of our positive threads, where we explore all things Meghan and Harry. From the causes they champion and their business ventures to Meghan’s (and occasionally Harry’s 😉) fashion moments, there’s a lot to chat about. This is a drama-free space, so let’s keep it upbeat! High five to @queentim for the original inspiration.

Not all the Invictus nations are from NATO countries.

Correct, but pp asserted a 1100 strong presence from NATO

Interrupting this thread to share Matt Damon’s take on the ice bucket challenge.

Oh - good on him!

I was worried he was using the challenge for a charity other than the one that created it (which would be very wrong) but he gives a shout out for ALS at the end making a brilliant point about global water supply and sanitation

(I've long supported Wateraid - a British charity with same aims)

I've always liked Matt Damon.

This just reinforces why.

Good, genuine guy.

I’d like to talk about the inclusion in Invictus of non-NATO countries.

You are easily pleased!😂

You do realise that these people couldn't give a rat's ass about you??!

And hopefully they couldn't give a rat's ass about all the nasty bitching that goes on about them either.

I also really like a couple of actors who will never know I exist.
So what? You don't have to have their reciprocation when you admire celebrities.

A bit naive if anyone thinks otherwise.....

Discussing the launch of an online forum with just 14 members does seem a little anticlimactic in that company?

He can always discuss his super innovative idea of not allowing his 5 and 3 year old children to have social media 😂

Radical parenting 😁

Speaking as a New Yorker, I'm more concerned about the NYC teacher who was shot in his school earlier this week, the NYC kids who brought weapons to school during this first week of classes, the violent teen migrants mugging people in Central Park, and yesterday's FBI raid on the NYC police commissioner. Also the four people killed by the teen in Georgia whose dad gave him a gun, despite a previous FBI investigation, because he wanted him to do healthy outdoors activities.

Want to stop violence against kids? Educate their stupid parents. Not holding out hope for Archewell

It's absolutely shocking, isn't it. Just awful. The place where children should be safe and protected.

MrsLeonFarrell · 07/09/2024 14:29

Harry will not be the best informed and most authoritative speaker there, but he has brought attention to an event that would probably otherwise not get a lot of publicity. I don't know how he got invited or whether he paid to attend but the event itself sounds worthy, let's hope some good comes out of it.

Bitching?

You’ll notice the names that get deleted by MN on Royal threads, are always the Meghan and Harry super fans ….always

With respect, I don’t think this is true.

There have been plenty of deletions on either side of the discussions.

Scroll, look who the last name was to be deleted. Then look at their other posts.

Always the same H&M fans

I hope not too - apparently there's some pretty nasty stuff on the internet.
If true, posts on MN pale into insignificance from what I gather.
However there are reports that they spend a fair bit of time poring over social media.

Shame. They'd do better not to even look but I suppose that would be nigh on impossible.

Loads more 💩 in the newspapers about H and M being invited by Charles Spencer for Christmas. Who fuels this endless rubbish?

MagdaLenor · 09/09/2024 12:10

Are H&M just randomly putting stories out there? They need the headlines, don't they.

Serenster · 09/09/2024 12:18

Given there were posts from posters on the discussion about Harry attending his uncle’s funeral approvingly saying the Spencers were drama free and didn’t leak, I wonder where they think the story of the invitation has come from?

MagdaLenor · 09/09/2024 12:10

Is it all a campaign by H and M to keep their names in the press and to remind people again of their feud with the RF? Where is the joy in that?
I mean the RF won't be putting it out there as I'm sure they are sick to the back teeth of the pair of them.
Is it their global fans who prompt this? Anything to keep H and M out there? Maybe H and M have unleashed a beast that they can't tame now?

SmileyHappyPeopleInTheSun · 09/09/2024 16:31

I'm sure they are - but there's a host of hanger on and commentator's who do put stories out there

I saw this source given as Paul Burrell Diana's former butler - though personally not sure I'd consider him reliable- can't remember which newspaper - quick google suggest Independent, and Mirror and some Canadian paper all have the story as well.

https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1810779/Queen-Elizabeth-lilibet-birthday-cake

It's clearly one from the few recent ones not by H&M as they come off looking really bad. I think articles from their camp most is expensive PR people trying to look busy and oddly making it worse and them look bit desperate.

Queen 'left hanging' as she waited with cake on Lilibet’s first birthday

Former royal butler Paul Burrell claims that the Queen had a cake with one candle for her namesake - but the candle was never lit.

It seems that only hours after the video of the Wales family was released Netflix released a video of the documentary about POLO that Harry has done.

Of course it’s all just an unfortunate coincidence.

WinnieTheW0rm · 09/09/2024 23:20

Shame they've called it Polo.

If I were Jilly Cooper, I'd be Distinctly Miffed

I don't think the timing is anything to do with Harry and he shouldn't be blamed for it. I do think it's Netflix deciding to cash in on attention around Catherine's video and it isn't a good look for them.

Twistybranch · 10/09/2024 08:14

Meh, Harry knew when he signed up to Netflix they’d exploit his family….I mean they were still making The Crown when he signed his sole away and that never seemed to bother him

Yes it’s obviously Netflix but Harry and Meghan aren’t lily white bystanders.
