As ever#4 - As usual

[Words]

New thread!

I suspect part of their isolated existence is Meghan's fear is that some young 20 something will swipe her prize and her only real currency in remaining relevant, away from her. Someone who has the youth to pull off the wide eyed ingenue look without looking absurd.
He seems very fickle and weak to me, and disloyal. I wouldn't be suprised if he ended up with someone younger eventually. I suspect this is partly why he's been dragged away from the aristo scene, encouraged to burn his bridges and make a spectacle of himself with Spare etc. And why she stokes his paranoia about privacy and safety, resulting in his hermetic and lonely existence. And why, when they do make a public appearence, The Claw is always frantically working overtime.

Talking out of his ass as usual @Mightymoog ! 🙄🤣

I think I disagree re, Harry trading her in for a younger ( less bonkers) model.
He;s burnt so many bridges and they've made such a big thing of their amazing love story that it would be too humiliating for him to choose that path.
She on the other hand I think has the brass neck to do whatever she thinks suits her best without caring about how it looks.

What's your personal opinion of the persistent and consistent testimonies from dozens of victims and witnesses who have experienced and been impacted by Meghan's appalling bullying behaviour over many years - to the point that some have been hounded out of their jobs and ended up needing professional help to alleviate the mental distress she caused, as investigated by numerous and separate respected publications?

This stuff destroys peoples lives and livelihoods - how can you continue to blow smoke up the arse of a bully?

Steady on, she's not actually seen it or commented on it yet!

Not true.

I watched it. Said on here I thought she came across ok and natural.
I lived to post again.

Try it.
Tell us what you think.

I've always disliked the way Harry acted way more than Meghan so it does make me slightly uneasy that he seems to get away with so much more. Meghan might have been the catalyst but Harry is full of his own venom, he chose to include what he did in spare and he loved the attention it brought him. The only thing Harry got wrong was his family's reaction, he obviously believed is in own hype and believed he held the cards. Meghan is to blame for her own actions but Harry being a prick is totally on him.

I can recall my making my friend laugh for the first time in days when she was asking me if I thought her (now ex) husband had some kind of personality disorder that could explain his behaviour and replied, the only thing he has is b*t*d syndrome.

I made a general comment about disliking packet mixes because they lose a lot of the maths skills related to cooking, not discussing Meghan at all.

You jumped down my throat about it defensively.

So maybe if you'd like to see nicer behaviour, look closer to home.

Well it seems he now speaks fluent word salad.

When he says "more recently with The Archewell Foundation, where we show up and do good for those who need it most, supporting social impact initiatives—including digital safety and education—all under the umbrella of protecting our collective mental health.”

I'd like to know exactly how much Archewell have "supported" social impact initiatives, in ££ or $$. It's easy to say "show up, do good" but what exactly has Archewell done?

And when he says "“I’ve spent the last five years — sometimes publicly but primarily quietly — investing in companies that align with my values and vision of a better tomorrow, companies that understand the power and significance of service,” he shared, noting a commitment to causes supporting “mental fitness to carbon sequestration, early education to veteran employment.”

Which companies? What or how much has he invested?

And also, massive eye roll at "as a dad" ffs

When dining out the Duke and Duchess of Windsor would recite letters of the alphabet to each other so onlookers would think they were having a conversation. That is how I could see Harry and Meghan ending up; not happy together but the sunken costs fallacy coming into play.

If they ever do split up it will be her leaving him and only if some bigger opportunity for money or fame comes her way.

She is a middle aged mother of 2 who has a reputation for bullying , lying and dropping people who are of no further use so I am not sure billionaires will be queuing up to date her !

Her reputation as a not very nice human being is so widely known, it's hard to see that any billionaire-level man would be prepared to jump into bed with her (in all its meanings). I reckon she's stuck with Harry.

"Since then, while my charities remain a core part of my life’s work,I’ve also been focusing on upstream solutions and prevention, driven by decisions and investments that address problems before they require fixing. Still, I’ve approached everything in my life through the lens of service.”

Agree re the fluent word salad @TheSecondMrsCampbellBlack , the above gem particularly struck me.

More concrete examples, less verbiage would be good.

He sounds so like Meghan. She's been coaching him to use her favourite words. Lens. I always love that one. It's interesting how the royals see themselves as being born into a life of service. I see them as being born into a life of privilege. Some of them do serve, but not by zny means all. Yes, Andrew, I'm looking at you.

I agree that IF they ever split, it is much more likely that it would be initiated by her and if so, I fear for him.

@IdaGlossop If ever there was any doubt about the monarch's devotion to duty and service, I ask you to look at Charles, who has drawn the short straw of hosting Trump on a second State Visit.
I wouldn't swap that gig for all the palaces in the world.

If a problem hasn't reached the stage of needing fixing then surely its not a problem?

I'd love it. You'd get some right interesting anecdotes and could spend many a happy hour discussing him.
Bet he's more interesting company than starter.
Hrs an arse, obviously but I bet a one of a kind dinner guest!

Yes - but Harry must the one financing family life in the Montecito house and all that goes with it from his various inheritances - security, staff, the lot. I stand to be corrected, but Meghan can't have all that much cash of her own, and even if she's invested her earnings wisely, that would nowhere near cover their lifestyle where they currently are in the long term. And they are the parents of two very young children, and surely neither of them would break up the family lightly, or blight the future of their kids.

If Meghan loses Harry, that's it. She is completely finished.

Didn't Meghan swerve meeting Trump at BP a few years back? Cited Maternity Leave but she had appeared at a few other things.
Mind you, I can't say I blame her, particularly, although it IS part of the job.

I have no doubt whatsoever about Charles' devotion to duty and am full of admiration for him. His achievements with The Princes Trust and The King's Foundation are spectacular. He's obviously a hard worker too, and knowledgeable on a whole range of subjects - gardening, faith, classical music. I hope that William leaves a legacy as impressive - and finds more of an appetite for work. Where to start on hosting Trump? The thought of his big frame prowling the corridors of Balmoral is not a pleasant one.

I wouldn’t underestimate her, each relationship has taken her forward.

Do you really think she's in a better position now than 4 years ago?

@IcedPurple no, but she can be ruthlessly ambitious as her trajectory has shown.
