Have you started a thread on Andrew?

Ok i see you have. Maybe its because despite Andrew being a horrible person he’s not putting himself out there on SM so not much new to feed on.

I find this whole subject really baffling.

People get up in arms and clutching pearls at two people who have simply had boundaries and decided to take control of their own lives but turn a blind eye to a sexual predator.

I'm black.

That doesn’t answer the question. Of course a white person can be subjected to racism.

user9632579 · 02/04/2025 10:49

Are you black?

You truly think people are unkind about MM because she's black? Which she clearly isn't but there we are. People are unkind in the main because she courts controversy.

They are two separate subjects though.

How do you know there is no crossover and some people have criticised both, unless you’re keeping a spreadsheet of every comment and forum/user?

H&M put themselves out there daily so obviously there is going to be more feedback, opinions etc. Do you think if they’d just disappeared for a quiet life after leaving the UK they’d be garnering this much attention?

It’s really not baffling.

They royal machine played it well. Look over there. They have been in this game forever. Many people are stupid. It's how they have survived so long.

Spot on.

"simply had boundaries"? So making money from disseminating rumours, unsubstantiated allegations and proven lies for money is having a boundary?
Of course people criticise Andrew.

Andrew doesn’t sell and is of little interest to Joe Public
Harry and Meghan are the only interesting thing about the Royals . The other senior royals are charisma free zones
Many of these so called royal reporters would be unable to pay Tarquin’s and Eleanor’s private school fees if they didn’t write vindictive articles for the Murdoch press about the Sussexes
Also, some want to frustrate Harry so that he comes back to England ( leaving behind his mixed race American wife and their two children) so that he can do the donkey work that William is too bloody lazy to do .

Which racism!

the racism that black people are of so little worth that their whole being is tied in with their colour.
People can't possibly dislike someone or their actions because of their behaviour; no, it must just be colour as their actions and words are of secondary importance to their skin

I am white and even I know a white person cannot be subjected to ‘racism’
You need to do some basic research about what racism actually entails then come back and educate some of the posters on this thread
You can thank me later

user9632579 · 02/04/2025 10:47

I am unable to be racist to a white person.

Highlighting racism and the difference of equality is not racist. The only ones who get offended are those who cannot acknowledge their privilege.

right, just seen this.
No further discussion with someone so racist they can't see racism can exist for white people!

😂😂Harry doing "donkey work" !
Also, the Sussexes give stories not just to People magazine, but also to the tabloids, including the Daily Mail. It's been confirmed by their comms. They don't care who.
I have not found evidence of anyone wanting Harry back in the UK. What use is a petulant, lazy, greedy, drug addled man child who would sell stories of his own todger for money?

... and it descended into H & M bashing very quickly.

they always do. even the pretend be nice about Meghan thread was targeted.
its always the same , the usual suspects pop up saying the same old same old.

I don't think he took on the press in the same way, so the press hasn't whipped the public into a frenzy about him.

Plus he's keeping his head down, like an obedient child now. Where as H&M have the audacity to flog jam or whatever.

Plus a bit if racism.

I also think he’s not divisive, in the sense that he doesn’t divide opinion. He’s universally disliked. So someone could start a thread saying “AIBU to think Prince Andrew is awful” and it would just be a consensus.

Disagreement (like with Harry and Meghan) will always get most posts.

BasiliskStare · 02/04/2025 12:15

@PoppysAunt I don't mind so much Harry selling stories about his own todger - not needed imho but it's his todger - I'm less keen on him selling stories about W's todger* 😄

*But then - anyone seemed fair game to Harry when there's money to be made.

MJSavesTheDay · 02/04/2025 12:17

There's not a lot to say about him! We all know what he's done. No-one supports him. No-ones really trying to spin him as anything he's not. He's not on social media everyday trying to make people think he's a saint! (He tried an interview once and that didn't go too well!! We most certainly did all talk about that at the time!) There's nothing much more to say about him really! What should we be saying?

Harry and megs are much more entertaining and constantly putting themselves in front of cameras and in the headlines! Netflix shows, books, interviews, Instagram, etc...

When people are on your screen and popping up on social media everyday, it keeps them relevant and keeps people talking about them! And there's a lot to say!

Meghan is a constant source of hilarity! Her daily attempts to try and spin herself as some kind of friendly, giving, loving saint are vomit inducing!!! I love all the parody's of her!!! Especially Vanessa!! The sheer lack of awareness (which Andrew also has but it's not thrust in our face every day!!) is hilarious!!!

Aww.. I do wonder sometimes if either harry or megs will ever see the light and look back on things and think 'what the hell was I thinking?!' I think of the two of them, Harry is more likely to regret his current actions in the future, than megs. But who knows!

Indeed. Very true.
Or slating other members of the family for very minor transgressions, yet doing far worse. In all honesty, I had some sympathy until they started with all that nonsense then I thought a) they're really not up to a public life
b) they'd really say anything about anyone for Dosh.

MJSavesTheDay · 02/04/2025 12:27

Ps
I do think if Andrew bought out a netflix cooking/lifestyle show it would be way better than megs' 'As Ever'!!! Can you imagine it!!!??? It would have me in stitches every episode!! At least it wouldn't be boring!!

I reckon he could call it 'I never..'

We'd definitely all be talking about him then!!

He could show us how to make pizzas :)! Could introduce us to his 'friends' (who are probably 12 and female!) and show us how to make bath salts that help you sweat (or not sweat? Or whatever!!!)

Oh gosh, netflix, make it happen!! 'I never..' would rake in millions!!!?

Would sell? He has sold a story about his own todger for money.

There is always dissent on the odd occasion that Andrew appears in public, including on MN. That's not turning a blind eye. Harry and Meghan said they had boundaries and were taking control of their own lives but have wrecked havoc on their families and charities. The harm Andrew has done is greater but the courtiers and his family have been successful in shutting him up. Harry and Meghan, outside The Firm, can do whatever they like. What they like is making a lot of noise.
