Harry not honouring Tyler Perry. Why?

[Sunblessed]

Way back in July, it was announced that Harry and Meghan are tribute chairs for Tyler Perry and the award he will receive at the Paley honours Gala on December 4th. See

Now we are told, even though Tyler has helped his family over the years and is his daughter’s godfather, that Harry won’t be attending the gala even though he is on the hosting committee. Instead Meghan will be on her own? See

Why? It makes no sense. I understand that their work takes them different places but this is something they are both involved in. Harry is off to a book conference that just so happens to be on the 4th December, all the way in NY.

He was a chair of the committee and he doesn’t bother to show up? That’s really poor taste, for a man that has done so much for him.

It’s also just adding unnecessary fuel to fire that all is not well with their marriage. This is an event that they should be doing together, instead Meghan will be left to the red carpet on her own. If he didn’t want to be part of it, why did he join the hosting committee, if he never intended to host?

Didn’t TP let them stay in his house for free when they were in hiding from paparazzi “hounding” them?

Yes, that much is true @CustardCreams2, and while of course it was his choice to make I never quite got it

Apparently he uttered some dribble on NBC about "They found each other out of all these odds against them finding each other, they found each other and the love they have is really, really moving and I wanted to do anything I could to support them", and for all I know he could just be a kindly man, but it's hard not to wonder what he thought was in it for him

That’s your interpretation of events, highly influenced by tabloid rhetoric. Not everyone sees it the same way.

Families are complicated and there is rarely a situation where one side of a dispute is 100% right and the other side 100 % wrong.

A lot of what the RF does appears to be extremely dodgy to me and I can’t imagine living a life where your job spec and income is ultimately decided by your brother. I rather respect Harry for trying to break away, even though he has made serious mistakes too.

I don’t like everything H & M have done but I don’t see the point of endlessly badgering them now they have gone away and are trying to make a go of making a living themselves.

And I don’t care who is the subject - I loathe orchestrated pile ons of any description - they make me very uncomfortable and make me wonder “who is benefiting from this?”

Which members of the RF and the establishment are keen to have attention diverted away from them? And why?

The faux indignation from others because some are talking about the state of their marriage, is somewhat laughable.

They sold their marriage story to the highest bidder, Netflix, for millions and millions. They sold an image, an image which stated they were inseparable.

Now, they aren’t together, all the time, everywhere. More like a normal couple, yes but not the intertwined palm tree existence they previously sold the world.

People can comment when they see such a drastic change in direction for the couple, and ask why

Do you think I’m Prince Andrew or something?

Spot on.

Ah , I’ve missed the “ got it” end to a post .

What does that mean? No idea.

I'm not sure but my interpretation was that Mylovelygreendress was feeling nostalgic for the old
"Ah. I'll now interpret what I'd like to suggest you've just said and I'll add 'Got it' as a nose-tapping kind of affirmation that whatever has been suggested is correct"
rhetoric. Hasn't been seen for a couple of days at least.
Sorry if I'm wrong, Mylovelygreendress

Are we really being scolded and shamed here for suggesting the answer to the OP's question might be:
Because they've separated
?
When all the activities, starting when Kettler quit, point in that direction?

I got it, Mylovelygreendress.

Anyway, Harry clearly has form for ditching a long-held commitment if something more aligned to his interests comes along. Like when he was Captain General of the Royal Marines, and pulled out of an event marking the 30th anniversary of an IRA bombing that killed 11 Royal Marines so he could attend The Lion King premiere with Meghan (and pitch her voiceover talents to Bob Iger). So this is likely just more of the same.

I admit to being mildly curious about what Harry will being to a “wide-ranging discussion on the most important stories across business, politics and culture”. I would have thought his crusade for responsible journalism might be the topic, but as he’s specifically on the agenda as “co-founder of The Archewell Foundation, and chief impact officer of BetterUp” I’m guessing BetterUo arranged for him to attend and he’ll be sharing his insights as their Chief Impact officer?

Are you monitoring Sunblessed's appearances on Mumsnet?

You are all overcomplicating the situation. He is obviously back in NYC so he can get another tattoo.

Well, he missed a trick by not getting a heart with "Mummy" in a scroll across it the first time.
Or, if he couldn't manage that because it was hurty, he could have just had a dot like Phoebe in Friends: "It's the way my mom sees me from heaven"

Did he get a tattoo, i missed that.

H & M can’t win if they appear together, separately, in formal attire, in casual
attire, on stilts

It's a circus. Stilts'd do it for me 🎪

Off now to read the rest of the thread

I don’t see the point of endlessly badgering them now they have gone away

Yet another of Harold's unending legal cases was being heard in a UK court just today.

He's bringing his tainted vanity project to the UK in 2027, someone (who?) having hoovered up £26m in bid fees in the process.

If only he would go away 🙄

I thought it was a joke, he was in a skit advertising Invictus.

It was a joke 🙄

As I always point out Harold's still costing us millions.

We're subbing his court costs, paying for his multi vehicle cavalcades and bringing his circus to town.

While he's still rooting at the public trough I'll be bothered as much as I like.

There is more security than people on the street. 😁

I hadn't heard about that Cathy, so just found this: https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/prince-harrys-phone-hacking-lawsuit-against-daily-mail-go-trial-2026-2024-11-26/#:~:text=LONDON%2C%20Nov%2026%20(Reuters),million%20pounds%20(%2447.8%20million).

And with the joint costs running at £38million I guess he'd better hope he wins

Probably trying to get more bang for their buck by going solo, double the column inches 😀make hay when the sun shines, and all that.

It is interesting to see how they have totally changed tack, they have obviously accepted the truth of how bad their image looked when they were operating as a double act. The salt and pepper shakers have gone their own way. The image makers helping Harry reclaim some of the dignity he lost by being second fiddle to his wife.

On the other hand, maybe this is not such a bad move for Harry if / when the Tyler Perry allegations get exposed in the mainstream.

on the ball @Serenster

Laughing out loud at this!

Just a quick browse of this forum’s threads showed me that Harry and Meghan were together in Columbia 12 weeks ago. And they’ve since appeared in a Remembrance Day video together - earlier this month.

Stories hinting at a Meghan and Harry separation surfaced around the same time last year. Leading up to the Mirror court case.

Now Harry’s case against Murdoch’s NGN is fast approaching, I’m not surprised we are seeing a replay of the increased speculation around their marriage yet again.

I can’t see a difference between those that are speculating on Harry and Meghan’s marriage and those that speculated on William and Catherine’s marriage.

It is a bit funny that the same people who criticise Harry and Meghan for being together too much, can quickly pivot to talk of their being apart too much. And back again. And back again.
