PR disasters of Meghan and Harry.

Left off at the last page with Meg selling candles to people who want to know what her young children smell like. She’s also using the kids full titles in the press release….just for a dash of extra exploitation.

As you were

Serena’s a Jehovah’s Witness and JWs do not celebrate or acknowledge Mothers’ Day because apparently they believe it to be based on a pagan mother-goddess festival, so they don’t participate for conscientious reasons.

This might account for the lack of Serena’s enthusiasm. Well, that and the goods being total crap.

She's on TV over here advertising weight loss shots, and bragging that's she's "30lbs down" or similar. I doubt she is interested in chocolates lol

Beating up sexually exploited, trafficked women in Afghanistan. As discussed openly on Reddit and Quora.

Allegedly he enjoys hitting.

I’ve heard these rumours as well, it makes me wonder if this is the reason he says nothing about Andrew.

Poor Meghan, none of this is her fault…we just don’t understand how special she really is.

I think the issue for Meghan is that the world sees Meghan as she actually is, but that's not who she wishes she could be or wants to be. Hence constantly feeling misunderstood, and complaining that she wants the world to see the real her.

As for Harry, his uppance will come when he does something so egregious BP will be left with no choice but to take action. The govt will tell KC3 it has to be done, and KC3 will explain it to Harry that he was left with no choice, he brought it onto himself. And, I think that moment isn't going to be far off.

Mike Tindall got a lot of headlines for inappropriately touching a staffer for IACGMOH, didn't he?

Think he also got bad press for throwing dwarves, despite the dwarves being fully consenting (and paid)*. Which the man on the beach was not.
*I'm not condoning throwing dwarves but at least the throwee was expecting it when it happened.

Agree with Trump put down. I expected Trump to go absolutely ballistic as per usual but he actually dismissed H. Backfired on H big time as I'm sure he expected Trump to go nuclear (pure choice of phrase) and M&H could scream indignation

Pa won't do anything. It will have to be Willie unfortunately and even then he may think it's more trouble than it's worth

Starryfifty · 27/04/2026 21:01

I don't think Meghan realises how she's perceived. Maybe it's stupidity or pure narcissism?

Serena married outside her faith and had a child outside of marriage, both of which are highly discouraged, if not outright forbidden. Witnesses aren't even supposed to participate in competitive sports, which Serena obviously did! So I think it's safe to say she's not the most devout JW.

Edited

Absolutely this. I always laughed when Prince was described as a JW. There’s no way his lifestyle would have been considered acceptable.

I wonder if SW is distancing herself from MM - I doubt that she was impressed that MM embroiled her in the Sentebale Polo match nonsense. SW’s mother had the measure of her early doors when she ignored her at the tennis - maybe SW is finally seeing the light.

How grim must it be after a spectacular sporting career against all the odds that the expectation is that you hawk your mate’s MLM-type tat - can’t see how this adds to SW’s brand.

Oh dear that's a bit 😬

I was about to point out that one difference between Harry and Andrew is that H seems to lack AMW's (and his father's) connections with known paedophiles

That's true, @Puzzledandpissedoff.

I wanted to pick up here on something you said in another thread regarding posters ignoring the point often made about KC3's relationships with paedophiles/questionable individuals. Feel free to ignore if you like (it's off topic for this thread).

The comments tend to be made in the middle of heated discussions, where there is little room for nuance. That's why I usually skip over them - I'm not ignoring the topic, just thought it deserved more consideration.

Mountbatten died in August 1979, when Charles was 30. He had acted as an honorary grandfather to Charles, As far as I can see, allegations of CSA first surfaced in 2019 (many years posthumously). Even if he had known of them (very unlikely), M was a respected senior family member.
Charles met van der Post in the early 70s; their relationship was based on an interest in travel, conservation and philosophy. The CSA allegations (confirmed by vdP's daughter) were first made posthumously in 1996, and relate to the 1950s.
I don't think KC3 can be held accountable for either of these situations.

Saville: multiple people were fooled by Saville. I haven't heard that Charles was in any position of responsibility in relation to him.
I had the privilege of listening for a couple of hours to one of the investigating officers speak about the Saville investigation (with work). I am more concerned about those people who were in positions of authority, and ignored rules being bent, or questions being asked.

Re Ball: I've only just started looking at the investigation, but on initial reading of reports Charles may have been careless (said he didn't know what a caution meant) rather than culpable. He would be culpable if he intervened in any way; the report I've seen said he didn't. I'll read the formal investigation.

There is another one of him prodding a guy at an event in Australia - this time at the rugby match that they ditched the girls retreat to attend. Here I think his poking is an attempt to humiliate the person they are meeting.

It popped up in my youtube feed today - I nearly didn't watch it as it's Dan Wootton and I'm not a fan. However it is a short clip but you can skip to 1.21 to see the actual rugby clip.

Harry and Meghan are being introduced to people before the rugby. One of them looks like a rugby player. Harry is curt with him (just a hi and bye) but Meghan stops for a smiley chat. Suddenly Harry steps forward and pokes at something about the suit the guy is wearing - like a Sergeant Major who has found a uniform defect on a "lower rank". Then Harry quickly turns away but gives Meghan a glare. Whether he was jealous, generally pissed off or just wanted a drink/other substance it looked really awful to humiliate the guy over his clothing.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cH44DsZxw4c

I wonder if he uses this tweaking and slapping of other men to make him feel better, when he feels threatened by their prowess/masculinity. Life guards are commonly perceived to be strong/manly, as are rugby players. In both those moments in Australia, he was on "their" territory and thus not the "most valueable male present". He touched that Nacho fellow in an intimate ways too at a polo trophy presentation, and Nacho is your quintessential, Alpha, professional polo player - unlike Harry, who looks like he's been trampled by a pony.

Mother’s Day is in May in the US though?

Yes. The promotional letter that came with Serena’s box of crap says something like ‘A few gifts as we come together to celebrate Mother’s Day’, in that wanky writing.

I think Serena was supposed to promote the A Server bundle of tat in advance of the big day.

My mistake if Serena isn’t an observant JW. I read she was baptised into the JW in 2023. But who knows?

That's the one, thank you @HoldMyWine
I hadn't heard the copycatting Carey Mulligan story before.

You missed it on this thread then! It was extensively covered, and shot down by a new poster.

Thanks for the share token @HoldMyWine I enjoyed that article. (I have The Telegraph if anyone ever wants a share token from there)

Fair enough, I must have.
The threads here often move swiftly and I haven't time or inclination to keep up with every post.
I'm also grateful to (great name) for the share token from HoldMyWine to the article I mentioned.

Sorry I wasn't being snarky, just thought it was interesting we had discussed it.

Made a complete hash of my editing.
My last paragraph was meant to read:
"I'm also grateful to HoldMyWine (great name) for the share token to the article I mentioned."
I wanted to edit out the @ since it gets tedious being @-ed a lot when it's unnecessary.

Given the number of men who are paedophiles in the UK (does anyone know the percentage of the UK population?) it would be more remarkable if KC3 hadn't socialised with any.

Also Harry's big benefactor, Tyler Perry, (private jets, mansions, godfather to Lili) is currently facing several lawsuits alleging sexual assault.

Yes, that's rumbling on.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/dec/28/tyler-perry-sexual-assault-lawsuit

In 2020, Perry offered Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex a home in Los Angeles when they left the UK. He later said he identified with the couple’s “emotional pain” and wanted to step in because “no one else would help them.”

What a load of old shite. 'No one else would help them' indeed. Oh no, Harry down to his last tens of millions, numerous staff, valuable contacts and already-done US deals ...

I’m not saying anything, but these rumours are not new and have been circulating among military forums for years , including Harry’s actual service history.

sickofsixseven · Yesterday 02:00

Since seeing the clip of harry smacking the lifeguards bum, I've seen other clips of him pinching and twisting other guys nipples repeatedly. What the hell is that all about? Maybe a boarding school thing? Whatever it is, its completely inappropriate behaviour and just bizarre that he thinks he can touch people in this way

TrumpetYayTrumpBoo · Yesterday 05:59

Wait what? Harry actually slapped a male life guard's arse on Bondi beach?!

Why? How? The visit was related to the atrocities committed there. And he just whacked a guy on the arse? Was he high?

Why would he behave like that in front of hundreds of running cameras 😬

How very weird.

Editing to add, isn't that sexual assault?
