Who is this show for? Perhaps those drawn to trad wife aesthetics – or maybe just Netflix

I know, it’s mind-blowing how stupid they are. Not only to do it today….but to not understand the political landscape they are now in. This is now Trumps America, and they are pulling stunts like this, while fires burn through LA

Total insanity

It is really not normal to start thread after thread about someone you have never met and just dislikes even though you dont know them and they have not done anything to you personally.
It is such a bizarre juvenile thing to do. I wonder why many British people are like this. They bond and tag team over gossip and a dislike of someone they don't know and who has caused them no harm at all? I don't know anyone in real life who is like this. I just genuinely don't get it.

Edited

I had a friend who sent me a photoshopped pic of Meghan on her wedding day showing her with a penis and kept insisting it was just a joke when I challenged her on it. She is now not a friend. So many vile people.

In UK it's Letters patent that decide who a prince/princess

https://debretts.com/royal-family/letters-patent-and-the-law/the-ruling-of-1917/

And who signs the letters patent?

I agree. Your ex friend sounds vile. I have never seen anything that stupid on here though, and if anything genuinely vile like that was shared it would be roundly condemned

If you are in favor of Royalty you should know that they cannot be stripped of their titles. The whole point of them is bloodline. If you do not have that bloodline you cannot be it.

So - Prince Harry, like it or not, cannot be un printed.

And there is now way the actual royals would want to change that.

After all, they could be next!

Born a prince always a prince.

And the royal family has to be the most dysfunctional family in Britain. Definitely awful.

The styles and titles are entirely within the purview of the monarch, according to Master Graham Zellick, Senior Master of the Bench and former Reader, emeritus professor of public law and former Principal of Queen Mary & Westfield College, sometime Vice-Chancellor of the University of London, a former editor of Public Law, and was Chairman of the Criminal Cases Review Commission, President of the Valuation Tribunal for England and a member of the Investigatory Powers Tribunal. He is also an Honorary Fellow of Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge and of the Society for Advanced Legal Studies.

H&M already seem to know not to use their 'HRH' styles any more, post the early 2020 discussions and decisions. Meghan never uses hers. Harry has once, in a London court a couple of years ago; but I wonder if he'll do that again?

They actually wrote this in their statement condemning Meta :

Millions of people are using Meta’s platforms in the United States. Hundreds of millions more are using them globally. Many use the platform to spread joy, build community, and share empowering information.’

That you talking about yourself meghan? You spread joy so that’s why your not going to quit a company that is ‘ undoubtedly responding to political winds, they once again abandon public safety in favor of profit, chaos, and control

So Meta=Bad, but Meghan won’t quit Insta. Cool, got it 👍

Harry and Meghan have spent a lot of the past few years criticising the RF, protocol etc yet they still insist on using the titles bestowed by the RF .
Can you not see the hypocrisy?

I hope it would be.

My point was yes I do know plenty of vile people who are filled with Meghan hatred to an obsessive degree in real life in response to @Lndnmummy saying this : I don't know anyone in real life who is like this

My (now former) friend was a nurse and if I recall correctly this was shared on her WhatsApp friends group which I know is mainly colleagues and apparently “everyone else could see the funny side” 😵‍💫 so yeah I was the problem!

George V signed that one - its say in the link.

He basically made some of his relatives no longer princes and princess .

I wasn't disputing your point but actually backing it up from reputable source and provide a UK precedence.

I sorry I was more clear - as was mid conversation with DS about a uni offer day.

Clearly won't bother to post here again as not worth dealing with such snipy replies - enjoy your echo chamber and arguing with Sussex bots.

The Daily Mail picking up on a "viral tweet, started by a local resident of the area, calling them out," and running a few columns on the tweet shouldd actually alarm you.

So much is happening there, so many stories need to be told but they focus on that.

It tells you all you need to know about that paper.

Justin Bateman is a very well respected A+ list filmmaker who has a huge following on X. Babylon Bee, another huge satirical account, went viral with a "Los Angeles saved after Meghan Markle arrives to stand around wearing baseball cap" headline. The mayor of Pasadena who accompanied them is also getting excoriated for wasting resources on H & M when his city is in ruins.

We Americans don't like her. We don't appreciate attention whores doing fake walkabouts in other peoples' smoldering ruins, although I personally got a kick out of the local newsreaders calling her "Princess Markle." That's how much the average American knows/cares about her.

Rumor is that she saw the reviews and pulled the show launch for edits. NF isn't happy because they don't want to spend any more money on a losing show.

This just shows what a bubble their LA life is.

Everyone they know is no doubt a democrat who is hand wringing about Meta's new free speech policy, and more guff about spreading joy and empowerment. Who's view of joy Meg? We don't want your fake saccharine version of joy thanks, we'll take free speech.

The anti free speech movement railing against the removal of censorship is the sound of confused elites who don't yet understand they've lost control.

The backlash against celebs and eltes is underway. Just in time for her elitist show.

People no longer trust them to decide to what is joyful or empowering for us, or what is true, didn't they notice the back lash in the recent election??

This is so tone deaf, but I imagine they think it reflects on well on them. It's actually sums up how oblivious they are.

They are lucky this is not making big news and is being ignored because of big stories, because they would be crucified for this if anyone was paying attention.

StrawberryWasp · 13/01/2025 14:21

If she wanted to reshoot or add new scenes wouldn't it come out off her production budget?

I thought Netflix paid them a set amount and they had to produce the prgrammes from this?

Anyway I don't think anything is going to save this show.

I was beginning to feel a bit sorry for her becuase she does try hard and persist but just can't get anything right, but that new Meta 'statement' has just really pissed me off again with thier pomposity and fakeness.

Anyone who talks about joy and empoerment and who wants to censor others speech makes me very nervous. It's an incidious mixture to run amile from.

And 'joy' is so embarrassingly 2024, everything she's doing is out of date and cringe worthy.

Probably how she will justify remaining on Instagram, otherwise it would have bee a very short lived foray onto the dreaded META space for her own account.

Doubt she will be removing herself despite her critical statement.

StrawberryWasp · 13/01/2025 14:27

2025 is more 'Let's Fucking Go' and 'Winning' energy. If she leaned into that she's probably seem more 'authentic' and current.

As someone above said an apprentice type show where she was direct and no nonsense. Or a show about trying to get ARO up and running. How to be an Entrpreneur type thing. Lots of cliff hangers when things are going wrong with the trademark etc, real ups and dowsn of emotions, juggling being a busines women with family and struggling etc.

But she's have to be really confidentto do that, prepared to show weaknesses and no just a curated image.

But we all know we only get boring curated fluff. And it's boring.

Atlasvue · 13/01/2025 14:33

I know….just imagine when she was frolicking and writing 2025 in the sand, how amazing she thought the year was going to turn out.

Quite. Unlike Harry, I'll take freedom of speech over the whims of the pronoun people that Archewell 'partners' with, all day long.

Why so much hate? You don't even know boredashell yet you'll say such hateful things about her 😥.

Please use the internet to spread joy and compasion instead of this hate.

The level of censorship H&M want while spouting joy and compassion is insane.

I'm sure if asked: and who should decide what is joysul, truthful and allowable on the internet...they say 'Us.' Or people like us anyway. People who think they right way, like us.

And they'd see no problem with this.

Kind people censoring the mean.
What could go wrong, it would just be joyful world.

It's a combination of such stupidity and arrogance it's scary.

@StrawberryWasp you are joking by making this comment.

"Please use the internet to spread joy and compasion instead of this hate".

Is that what you and the rest of the h & m bashers on this thread are doing?
