Is there another couple in the world like The Sussexes?

[veraswaistcoat]

I was musing last night about this aspect - they had the world at their feet. Despite what Sussex Supporters like to suggest most people in the UK nodded their heads " yes it was lovely Harry was getting married finally" . I had never heard of the bride myself as I don't watch American tv shows of that ilk. She was black or biracial? It didn't even enter my head what colour she was initially and then as coverage started it didn't make one iota of difference one way or the other. I recall the day of the wedding - it was sunny and the pubs were full of royal cheer broadcasting the wedding.

And then it all started to where we are today.

Are there any other couples in the world who have gone through such a downfall? Is this a feature of the social media arena today?
We see P Diddy and Blake Lively and others exposed now through SM.
You can't count the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in this category as they were always unpopular.

Can you think of any examples of people who have fallen so spectacularly?

I know people say " they live in California, they have money blah blah" but their reputation is one that most people would not want.

Is it purely because of their seeming complaining and sense of entitlement ? I mean you don't see the real philanthropists in this way - in fact you rarely hear about them and what they do.

Making sense matters.

I see some hideous mistakes from journalists just reading publications so I am not surprised at the lack of SPAG.

I'm just a little surprised that these weren't picked up prior to publication!

And yes, I would correct family and friends if I saw it. No need to "tell anyone off"!

Big ups Mrs F!! Actually laughing here!!

When you said "ex", you did not clarify whether it was 17 years ago or 17 minutes ago.

Crystal ball is out of service tonight....

I see absolutely nothing "complicated" about them personally!!

Gregg Wallace and his ego?

I had the good fortune to spend a week in your incredible city last September (I had been before too) and I can't see how anyone could possibly engage in a car chase!!

That is as may be, but he has always remained loyal to the RF.

Do educate yourself on what was actually said when Charles's and Camilla's private conversation was being eavesdropped on!!

Do you also endorse Diana's many affairs, some of which were with married men?

Charles and Diana was to all intents and purposes an arranged marriage. I had one as have a lot of my in-laws and my family. It’s for each family to protect their own.

When Diana wanted out before the wedding her sisters told her it was too late. At that point they should have had her back and got her out of a situation she was no longer happy with.

Up to & including The day of my wedding my dad double checked I was happy to go ahead. Dhs family did the same.

For what it’s worth I think H&M both love each other very much - I don’t think you upend your lives to such a degree if you don’t but that doesn’t necessarily mean you are good for each other. I don’t think they will ever split. I sincerely hope they don’t.

But I also think they did throw away a lot of goodwill which had they just did the same as the Edinburgh’s for eg it would have been fine eventually.

Obsessed? This is a discussion forum. I am responding to your post.

^^ All used on this thread against ordinary posters here on a talk board, following Talk Guidelines, having a discussion. Anyone else wondering what else the H&M supporters have left to throw out? It is terribly unedifying to witness.

Instead of worrying about two people you don't know and will never know, how 'bout a good discussion on disgusting old Andy?

I don't know him either tho? 🤷‍♀️

Why not start a thread about Andrew ? I am pretty sure it will go the same way as other Andrew threads I.e. everyone agrees he is an arrogant , despicable oaf .

The idea that people shouldn't criticise H+M because Andrew is worse is so stupid. (Especially if used by people who are more than happy to criticise eg 'lazy' William or 'cold' Kate.)

Should Andrew really be the only permissible topic of discussion on the RF board? Even then someone would be bound to say we should be talking about Henry VIII instead 🙄

Perhaps every thread should be subtitled, “But what about Andrew?” then we could get it over with.

Regarding Vanity Fair, they pride themselves on fact checking. I can’t imagine they would mention the “divorce book” without some hard and fast evidence. There’s probably an email which would only be revealed if H&M decided to sue. Since this was such a damaging piece, it is strange that they haven’t…

Frothing, salty bitter sounds like a nice afternoon in a British seaside pub, wi' chips. That'll do me just grand.

@CeceliaImrie if you weren't claiming any sort of inside knowledge about the RF and the media as an "ex journalist" then why mention your previous profession at all?

And if that wasn't the source for your claims, then please provide some evidence - otherwise admit it was pure speculation and gossip.

You have given me a good chuckle though at your claims that @Baital is obsessed with you, for having the temerity to read, and comment on things you've written on this thread. If you don't like to be challenged on things you say, maybe head back over to Celebitchy where you'll find a warmer reception for your baseless accusations 😊

Surely preceded by a bit of serfing to work up an appetite? And afterwards, pet a nice seaside donkey and give its forelock the attention it deserves.

I’m not so sure. Sounds a bit like the publican hasn’t cleaned his pipes properly 🤔😆

I'm not sure Harry is narcissistic. I think he's very very weak. And a bit lacking in brain cells.

He follows her lead.

There are some posters whose comments require a huge pinch of salt

I've just watched a video of Meghan on her first public engagement with the Queen getting out of a train. The Queen gets out first and is bowed to by two men then Meghan gets out. You can see her looking at one of the guys and he doesn't look at her. You can almost see it register on her face - hang on a minute, they are not looking at me.

That's your take on it probably
