Can someone explain why Harry and Meghan are Humanitarians of the year ?

H and M are at another event this afternoon and I noted that H was striding into the room in front of M which is unusual as normally they would hold hands or she would push ahead .
If I was to hazard a guess I would say he is pissed off about Paris.

That’s my feeling too.

I actually feel a bit sorry for them too. It just all seems rather pathetic (compared to what they - and especially Harry WAS).

I imagine Harry can feel the difference between these events now, and the ones he used to be involved in.

Edit for spelling

I'd half hoped some of the parents from The Parent Network - who actually did the hard work years before H&M bandwagonned them - would put up a protest in the manner of Pat Tillman's mother.

TBF M did say they were accepting the award for and in honour of the parents.

However, the speech was about their parenting and how they have shielded Archie and Lilibet from social media.

Shielded? They might have had faces hidden but they’ve been shoved out on endless insta posts for her latest offering, or the Disney freebie birthday fiasco.

If she meant it, she's have refused to accept it, and insisted the actual parents were the ones on stage accepting it in their names.

So they claim. I agree , I think the children have been used on Meghan's sm very frequently.
However, her speech seems to overlook this little fact.

I agree, it's otherwise very hypocritical.

And I'm sorry, but someone who has been making her money presenting her perfect (and unobtainable to 99.9% of the public) existence on Instagram and Netflix isn't helping the general mental health of young people searching online, who feel that their prospects in life are hopeless right now compared to people they see on the internet. She's part of the problem. And Harry is a fucking mess, he should not be anywhere near any mental health related initiatives until he sorts himself out.

You don't think someone going through shit has nothing to offer? Do you know that psychologists/counsellors regularly seek therapy and don't leave their jobs while doing so?

Can't see that she looks any different?

@WhyamIinahandcartandwherearewegoing
I only just noticed your name. Absolutely love it. One of my favourites and you have used it so well.Thanks.

So they didn't buy it?

Not when they never move on, no. Therapy should be about dealing with your demons and taking lessons and strength from your experiences. Not dwelling on them in eternal victimhood.

And Harry has zero qualifications in therapy, so what professionals might do doesn't apply to someone who is purely a patient.

You don't think someone going through shit has nothing to offer?

Can you define 'shit'?

I don't know the answer to that.

It seems like this is just a I hate Harry and Megan thread. Riveting 🙄🥱

That doesn't follow. Clever Botox lets you still have movement.

Did you call @LaMarschallin?

I miss the laugh emoji 😆

What parents?

I’m assuming not theirs, as they are estranged from them.

The Parents Network. Set up around 5-6 years ago by parents who lost their children to suicide. All of the children had been using the internet for one thing or another. H&M became involved with them around 2 years ago. H&M's input has been to create a discussion forum via Archwell and an art installation which was only up for 24 hours as far as I can tell.

The parents of the children who committed suicide.
