Why? Apparently that's what the whole show is about.

Fucking awful.

Please don’t ever quote me again.

Hey, I don’t condone any violence and don’t want to be associated with posts saying they’d like to see someone’s head blown off, even on a show.

There’s a fucking line.

I didn't say I'd like to see anyone's head blown off. I said I'd watch if a certain character had its head blown off.

Presumably as you don't like to watch this kind of thing then you won't be watching The Gentlemen, which is apparently full of it.

OliveMyLove · 03/09/2026 18:22

Asked and answered. It’s as awful as Jeremy Clarkson. Worse actually.

Is that Meghan's reflection in the picture frame? Suitably wearing black for the occasion, of course, while taking a snap for her ghoulish social media post. 🙄

Edited

She has even added a copyright notice to the photo😭Nothing says love and connection quite like commemorating someone after their death and making sure your own copyright claim is attached to the photo.

Sure, I'll remember that. I'll also make sure not to watch The Gentlemen because characters - and I was talking about a character, not an actual person - have their heads blown off in it. And apparently no one can tell the difference between a fictional character and an actual person.

OliveMyLove · 03/09/2026 18:27

I’ve asked for my comments and the quotes to be removed.

Back on track…

@taylorandme That copyright had foiled my plan to mass produce these photos and sell them outside the Vatican.

You do understand that wanting to see a character played by Meghan markle have her head blown off , crosses a line ?

Well she needs to be careful she doesn’t overstep and annoy her stepson again!! , apparently he had to step in already! 😬

I must have missed this ?

Christian bale is Gloria’s stepson, they are close , he’s not a fan and just like Harry himself wanted to make sure she was surrounded by the right people while she was vulnerable ( allegedly) @Mylovelygreendress and @OliveMyLove!

Her stepson is Christian Bale, but I don't know what the MM connection is.

I didn't say I wanted to see it, I said I'd watch the show if that happened. Sounds like The Gentlemen should be cancelled, if that's what happens to so many of the characters in it, in that case.

To be clear, I don't want Meghan Markle's head to be blown off in real life and I wouldn't watch if that happened in real life. I was just making a daft joke and clearly specified that I was talking about a character - in a fictional show - and not a real person. Sorry if that offended anyone.

It was awful and I think it’s weird when a man focuses on a woman that way. My husband would not say something like he said privately, never mind write about it publicly.

And if you zoom in you can see her reflection. And she’s smiling. What an opportunist.

PoppysAunt · 03/09/2026 18:37

Does Christian Bale not like Meghan, or didn't like Gloria?

I thought it was common knowledge! , it was discussed here at the time.

He wasn’t happy with them taking advantage of her when she was getting older and more vulnerable.
according to widespread rumours
