All the focus on H & M - where's the outrage against Andrew?

[modeoftransport]

Thread after thread of pulling apart Harry and Meghan. 0.1% discussing what Andrew did?

What is going on with MN?

@Itsbeenlabelledhasntit I will tell Helen your take of that 😂

Love Helen. Just saying. The way she cut Michael Parkinson down to size for a really sexist question about her 'assets' decades ago... she was a pioneer

Sorry to derail 🌞

I think we all recognise how times have changed or how they should have changed. That's why it's so disappointing to see someone still have this attitude.

That's such an outrageous claim. What is it about Harry that makes him think everyone is jealous of Meghan? It's so sexist.
Mind you, that happens on here, too "you're just jealous of Meghan" .

😂😂brilliant!

She’s making a living, not Harry (does he do anything?), from using a tacky fan site to sell overpriced cupboard tat to Sussex fans. It’s one level above selling pens and mugs.

Harry and Meg had more than enough money, from Harry selling out his family in his book.
Why she feels the need to reduce herself to selling fan merch and flogging outfits for commission is beyond me. It’s beyond sad.

I have never ever seen anyone say that, but I'm not here all the time.

As far as Sentabale, isn't there long running threads on that subject? I thought we were talking about coverage of Andrew compared to Meghan.

Yes, Atlus, she is making a living, up to her. I do laugh at your phrasing, I'm quite enjoying it if the truth were known! 'Overpriced cupboard tat' hehehe

Is the Royal Collection shop overpriced cupboard tat too? Because its stuff is mega expensive! A teapot for £250 !
Before anyone jumps in, I know where the profits go.. it's to maintain the royal collection and palaces.

Difference is Meghan is making a living.

It’s said very often. On a separate note Helen Mirren is a Goddess and not ashamed to say I have a small crush on her

Me too! She is quite outspoken, she has embraced her age, and she is formidable.

I'm not on here all the time, but enough to see people accuse others of being jealous of Meghan.
No, the Royal Collection for sale is not the same. Meghan is making a living, and to be honest, I think that's fine because at least she's not doing it by making negative, cruel and unsubstantiated claims against the RF. So that's an improvement.
Selling UPF pancake mix is morally better than selling nasty gossip about the RF.
Good luck to her.

Meghan is a sell out.

She’s using her fans loyalty to sell them tat, from a company that is known to deliver bad customer service and poor quality…..and not the deliver the actual product.

It’s laughable that Harry and her fans believed that she was going to change the monarchy for the better!
This is who she is, a woman who flogs tat to her fans and makes money from commissionable links like any other reality tv influencer.

Its crass, cringeworthy and tacky.

We all need to make money, but most of us manage keep some dignity when doing so.

She’s using her fans loyalty to sell them tat, from a company that is known to deliver bad customer service and poor quality…..and not the deliver the actual product.

But as posters have said more than once.. they don't have to buy it! You sound very concerned about her 'fans'.
I'm sure they won't buy anything if they don't want it! 'Tat' hehe, love it! I'm not sure a $398 dress is tat, but there you go!

I hope it works for her. 🌞

Yes, I agree. I hope it works for her. It's better than selling those dreadful stories about the RF and monetising her supposed victimhood.
Does it harm anyone? No. Is she lying about the RF? No. Is she performing the role of a perpetual victim? No.
Nice change - good luck to her.

Of course they don’t have to buy.

But it’s not being advertised as a fan merching site and that’s exactly what it is. The point is not to create a premium food brand, it’s to cash in on her fandom. That’s literally the point of Snow Commerce. Monetising fans loyalty.

She should at the very least, be open and honest about what she is doing.

Harry is just this generation's Andrew. Harry's arrogance in asking his charity's chair to 'explain herself' because she wouldn't be used for Sussex PR is just the same as Andrew's arrogance. Andrew was extremely popular when he was Harry's age, it took longer for his character to become mainstream knowledge, but they're very similar people. By all accounts Harry always was - and remains - closer to the York family than any of his other cousins/aunts/uncles. Birds of a feather imo.

For clarity, the tat is her As ever products. Which is just fan merchandising, run by Fandom merch company Snow Commerce.

The $398 dress is where she is making money on commissionable links. Like any other reality tv influencer.

These two things are separate.

I'm not on here all the time, but enough to see people accuse others of being jealous of Meghan.

I've seen it to.

I think Andrew and Harry have similar issues - need to make a living - but are less skilled than other lesser royals who do manage it with out all the negativity.

Whether it's cosing up to Chinese spies or looking dodgy as trade embassor or writing a tell all publicly bashing family and then selling products - it can look very grubby very quickly - and not at all regal. Then there's a shocking lack of judegment they both display at times - with people round them and stuff they get involved in.

I think it's why most of the more senior royals stay in and do royal engagements and tend to avoid commercial ventures - too high up and too much scrunity and possible blow back to crown to do otherwise as Edward and Sophie found. Andrew ex Sarah struggled over years to find a good balance.

Your last paragraph shows your lack of understanding of the roles of the RF.

I'm British lived in UK my entire life.

I'm quite well educated and read widely including news papers - I know the role the crown holds in our mostly unwritten constitution I also know a lot of histroy. I know who the RF and what they think their role is and what it actually is.

I suspect it's not my understanding that you really taking issue with - given your posts on other threads - your obvious bias is making you assume I'm pro Meghan - rather than mostly indifferent and occaionally amused or appalled depends on what she has lately done.

im not a fan, so your asking the wrong person.

as I have said before no one has to buy it.

So you’re all not fans….ok

And what do you do to earn money?

Well I can reveal……I don’t have a fan merch site and don’t make commission flogging stuff on insta.

Thanks for this link. Let's hope these papers shed some more light on Andrew's shady activities.

As an aside it's appalling that he's been allowed to treat contacts made through what was persistently sold to us as his 'charitable work' as a potential source of cash for his personal coffers.

One deal's fallen through but is he lining up another?
