In case you haven't noticed, my husband is extremely handsome

[NotUsually]

If anyone can manage to sit through this podcast between Meghan and Jamie Kern Lima, what are your thoughts about Meghan saying this?
And what are your thoughts on Meghan in general after watching her talking with Jamie here?
I don't know if I'm BU but I pick up on narcissist vibes.

I accidentally clicked on a DM post yesterday and got sucked in. I am SO sick and tired of how Meghan literally can't do ANYTHING without being vilified by everyone, but the DM are insane. Harry standing up to their intrusiveness has REALLY pissed them off now for years. There was a list of everything she ever did wrong to everyone in her entire life (or something along those lines). THIS IS NOT OK!!! Harry has already paid more to this country than any of the armchair commentators have. If you aren't interested in what Meghan has to say/sell/be, then just don't watch it! And I for one, will never be clicking on a DM link again. Fucking vultures.

Oooh! I almost sound like a Trump supporter there! 😂

Your quote about what Harry has paid to “this country” makes no sense. None of us knows what he has paid but we do know he has cost us a fortune in security alone and would like to cost a lot more, whilst biting the hand that has generously fed him.

Save your sympathy for those who quietly serve without expectation of thanks or reward and stay away from threads where people take a realistic view of what Harry has to offer.

edited to say I realise you are actually defending Meghan Markle in your post. Don’t waste your sympathy, she was comfortable bullying people to the brink of tears.

I’m intrigued by this - can you enlighten us @EconomyClassRockstar

I don’t find Harry handsome in the same way as George clooney. But I also don’t think Brad Pitt is handsome, too pretty for me. But I’m not married to any of them. I find my dh handsome, I’m not sure others do but I’m the one married to him, so that’s what counts.

"Harry has already paid more to this country than any of the armchair commentators have".
That makes no sense. You're an armchair commentator?
Harry has always had top level security paid for by the UK taxpayer, including for his wife and children when they lived here/visited for the Jubilee etc.
Perhaps you could do a quick calculation for that alone?

I'm also quite intrigued that Harry's solution to "standing up to intrusiveness" is to make money by selling all manner of private and personal details.
His own and others'.

Same. I don’t really subscribe to the criticism of Harry’s looks or intellect, he doesn’t need to be anything special, but if she thinks he is that’s nice for them.

I do think she’s one of those women who needs to believe her husband is a catch. Vocalising it in that podcast was just her trying to reinforce that belief.

He was a catch when he was riding a wave of popularity as a military man, a good egg and a key royal.

As Prince Harry out in the cold he has a title and a miserable face. Not such a catch.

When you’re big into Instagramming having a husband who is more weasel than fox is problematic. Harry’s got to keep going with those endlessly-failing hair transplants.

In the photo on the cover of Spare, he’s either got a lot of makeup on his face - especially on his nose - or it has been filtered / photoshopped.

I’d have preferred to see an honest (‘authentic’) portrait, not an idealised version of reality. But that’s the H&M story these days - it’s all an idealised (and sometimes frankly bizarre) version of reality.

Not going to happen.

Quite, very interested to know what Harry has “paid to this country” and how it can be more than I’ve paid.

I’m fortunate to have a senior job, so I pay a lot of money in tax (nowhere near millionaire status sadly but also nowhere near wealthy enough to have my money in offshore accounts and tax avoidance schemes either). So I can quantify exactly what I’ve “paid” to this country.

What’s Harry paid for @economyclassrockstar? He certainly has a hell of a lot more paid out for him by the state - security costs running into tens of millions over his lifetime, as well as a subsidised lifestyle from the public purse for many years (not now of course, though we still pay for his security costs, and for the court costs for his numerous vexatious court cases.)

Or do you mean paid in other senses? I mean he did serve in the army for a bit (though by all accounts had a pretty cushty time of it) - so there’s that - but any one of the “armchair commenters” you criticise could have many more years in the armed forces than Harry, or as a nurse, in the police or emergency response forces, for example.

So then are you counting the time that he was a working royal as his big “payment” to the country? Because that’s living a life of great privilege in exchange for attending events, meeting and greeting members of the public and giving speeches. I’m not anti royal, I don’t have a problem with it, but I also think it falls pretty low down on the list of great acts of service.

I guess this person has swallowed Harry’s own bullshit claim of 35 years of service to the U.K. - obviously he was doing his duty while he was a babe in arms 😂

You're right, @elessar . In a nutshell this is about Harry's ludicrous claims. Including that by the time he left the UK he had served this nation for 35 years. Quite the stretch.

Not to mention the fact that in the last week the Daily Mail itself had an exclusive from the Sussexes detailing their new 'household' (or rather PR) organisation @EconomyClassRockstar

Yes, @bluegreygreen , they don't seem to be above sharing details with the tabloids. Bryony Gordon of the DM seems to write positive articles about them, she's obviously an insider. Same with Liz Jones.

You accidentally clicked on the DM and then accidentally clicked on this thread too? 🤔

😂😂

Gosh @EconomyClassRockstar what are the chances of accidentally clicking on a DM link? 🤣🤣

To be fair, when people archive links they don't always say where the story is from (though live DM links are very obvious)

The reason why they are getting so much criticism is that 1) they are shoving their privileged life in our face - royals never do that 2) they are actively seeking the attention.

There seems to be a serious neurological condition where some posters' brains aren't connecting with their fine motor function, and fingers are unwillingly clicking 3, 4 or 5 times through the site to find threads on the obscure RF board and then typing replies. I think it's an urgent public health issue.

I doubt she made that remark instinctively, everything she does is planned and staged. imo.
So her 10 word comment about his looks have opened up lots of personal criticism about the way he looks....poor man, he has a lot to put up with.

I guess this person has swallowed Harry’s own bullshit claim of 35 years of service to the U.K.

PH only became a working member of the RF in 2016 after leaving the army. He famously stepped down in 2020 - so only 5 years 'service' during a time when he had a lavish wedding and rennovated properties - not sure there was a tangible ROI for his 'service' - then he did a huge 'dis-service' to the country and institution for the next 5 years with his smears, lies and claims.

Very true, @Darkmudder . Once again, showing Harry's claims to be rooted in arrogance and entitlement. Why some people lap this up is baffling.

And yet so many seem to be unaware of this condition. There really should be a public health announcement made.
