Still interested, still not bored….a small request please 🙏…can we try to keep criticism to actions and behaviour and rather than getting personal.😁

Dame Edna Everage explains why she doesn’t have bodyguards. Worth watching to the end. She has taught Meghan everything she knows.

I’m assuming this is a natty new name 😉😁

Obvious though it may seem to the rest of us, the question must be asked: Who would take advice on grief from what seems to be an emotionally stunted 42-year-old man — one who has every advantage and resource at his fingertips, but who still struggles to process the death of his mother 29 years later?

Quite.

And one who claims to have “slipped into depression for two weeks.”

Good Grief!

Prince Harry says he 'slipped into depression' after leaving UK

Prince Harry said he ‘slipped into a depression for about two weeks’ as he adjusted to life away from the UK

I'm uncomfortable with commenting so much on personal appearance rather than behaviour.

Normally I would agree but after H’s snarky comments about W’s appearance , I think he is fair game .

I don't think Harry was ever attractive - his eyes are too close together.

He has Prince Philip's eyes. (Why the James Hewitt stories were clearly untrue.) Unfortunately that seems to be all he has of Philip's. He didn't get Philip's looks, or his intellectual curiosity, or his dedication to duty, or his unwillingness to talk about himself.

In what way was H giving a Masterclass? Masterclass suggests you're hearing from an expert who can teach you something. Harry has never dealt with his own grief; what has he got to teach anyone else?

i agree but unfortunately for Harry he started the ball rolling….and I can’t lie when posters are trying to imply he’s a looker when he’s not.
but I admit that might be a double standard.

It’s tough, right? I really try not to but Harry so openly mocked his brother while they weren’t even on speaking terms. Might have been fine if not for the context.

William looks fantastic now and Harry typically looks like he needs to do some self-care. William always looked OK, but lately he’s morphed into a very attractive man. Maybe it was Harry’s comment and he got himself a stylist as a result? Anyway, he’s carrying off the balding man look quite nicely these days.

It’s hard to separate his behavior from it.

It’s like Ryan Reynolds. I didn’t see his beady eyes until I did and now can’t unsee them.

I will admit I’ve never found him attractive..looks a tad cartoonish for me 🤷‍♀️

I think it's not just looks with W. He's always well scrubbed and well dressed, whether formal or casual, he carries himself well and he always looks interested and pleased to be where he is.

I admit that, as a young man, he at least had a youthful energy and what appeared to be a playful and fun character, but that's long gone. Now we're left with a petulant, balding middle-aged bloke and that definitely isn't attractive.

Years ago I was going into the British Embassy where I live and a taxi pulled up just as I was reaching the security gate. The guard gestured for me to let the occupant of the taxi approach the barrier first and right before my eyes was a tall and handsome young man who I still to this day believe was Prince Harry. He was in cargo trousers, a white tshirt and because of the recognisable desert boots he was wearing I immediately thought ‘has he been on a visit to Iraq or Afghanistan’. Of course we didn’t know at the time he was serving in one of those countries but he was so dressed down and casual looking that it made me think of ‘hiding in plain sight’ - not that he was hiding but he certainly was travelling fuss free.

My friends and family said I was seeing things but I know I wasn’t and no one’s going to make me change my mind. So there!!!!

They also let their horrible 'squad' comment widely on SM (including here) on Catherine's appearance to the point of alleging that she was 'black and blue' and unconscious. That is one of the most disgusting episodes in a long series.

ETA: but I daresay we need to 'go high'.

Oh I love stories like this and choose to believe them all true. Why not? It does sound quite likely.

My mother is convinced she met Steve Jobs in a hotel in London.

When asked where he thought Meghan Markle's career was heading during an interview with The Sunday Times, WME executive chairman Ari Emanuel replied: “Here's the great thing: I don't have to think about that anymore.”

I try. I really do.

I just fail miserably.

I’m inherently a gobby sarky twat and I ought to be thumb muzzled.

Sorry. 🥺

I really love William & in his youth he was very handsome, I don't find him particularly attractive physically now either.

Ohhh yeah! Starry you're a genius! Ofc he /she will absolutely use it as proof of needing securidee 🤦‍♀️

Bring despised by the nation at large doesn’t mean he’s in actual physical danger.

Hilarious. Supporters now saying it was ref who was booed and camera panned to H 🙄
