Prince Harry

Petcha said:
I was actually up early this morning and watched from the start. A minute or two before the Beresford episode, 30 seconds into the show, he made a reluctant Charlotte Hawkins (a co-host) stand up to show the mini-skirt she was wearing - which he claimed signified the 'arrival of spring - im not complaining'.

Beresford or Morgan?

Well, polarising as Harry and Meghan’s interview and actions have been, I am sure people on both sides and impartial observers alike can all agree this is one consequence of this affair we are all happy about :D

I’m not. Unconvinced it (the big flounce & subsequent leaving the job) wasn’t all a calculated move for maximum attention on whatever he’s already got lined up.

I wonder who else she has in her sights - so far, in a week, she's got the Mail, the Monarchy and Morgan under her belt

LOL. If only she were anywhere near to even get the Mail and the other tabloids on the defensive/ agree to be a bit fairer in their treatment of her, let alone ‘under her belt’ (unless I’ve misunderstood the meaning of that expression. Perhaps I have...)

Full marks for H & M for daring to stand up to the all-powerful, vindictive and untouchable British press. If anything I am disappointed they didn’t place more emphasis during the interview in highlighting their disgraceful behaviour.

Had I been Harry I would have asked the viewers to look online at that collage of 10 contrasting headlines of Kate and Meghan that’s been posted online repeatedly, and publicly challenge the Mail and the Express to publish a justification for each of them so everyone can read their explanations for them. Either that or admit they’ve been vindictive, bullying, odious cunts to Meghan on countless occasions.

He'll go the way of Katie Hopkins in the end, having to be more and more outrageous for attention with each new gig, so having to go to ever more obscure and mental places to shout his bile.

For the past year people have warmed to the cunt a bit for taking government ministers to task, Cummings banned them from speaking with him, Cummings went and they went back on his show and he handed their arses to them regularly on a plate, which has given him some kudos, however, pwning the fuck out of the current cabinet is very much shooting fish in a barrel, and this morning we all saw the great hard-case interviewer get his arse handed to him by the weatherman.

not sure if the interview harms or hinders the express or the mail


they will be selling papers for weeks over this

That’s what I meant in my previous post though. Even a staunch monarchist who might claim Meghan’s claims of mistreatment by the media are false or exaggerated would struggle to justify that view when you show them that montage of headlines we’ve all seen.

So why is this not exploited further, rather than being limited to people in social media and Internet forums agreeing it stinks? There should be a statement from H & M or a very high profile figure speaking on TV, asking the public to look at those headlines montage and challenging the tabloids to publish a rebuttal of every one of them within three days if they dare. Put them on the spotlight and force them to try to justify it.
 
I don’t know, the big drama of storming off from the weatherman’s unsurprising criticism, looked fishy imo. Don’t think that was his real arse, being handed to him.
 
Right, I think I’m caught up. The British tabloids, a faux populist (who was widely praised here when doing his Covid outrage thing) and the old order represented by the decrepit Windsor inc are having a mare. Big tech, elite liberalism and transatlantic celebrity culture are playing a blinder.

The royal family possibly includes racists within its midst. A Prince who recently bombed Afghans muses on the colonial order. A billionaire interviews soon to be billionaires in a billionaires house and they discuss other billionaires.

Great thread this....

Got anything better to be doing on a Tuesday in lockdown?

The cynical might, considering the role that 'entertainment media' will play in the continuance of the Sussex brand and their (real) need to monetise themselves for the next 40 years, think that there's a very good reason they choose not to go to all out war with 'the media'.

Selectively perhaps, but not the culture of the wider industry.

I think they have legitimate grievances with the culture of the media, I also don't believe them to be stupid enough to shit on what will be their own doorstep.
 
I like it that the "this is absolutely diabolical behaviour" was said to be "as Morgan left". That is true enough, but it was actually said as he was on his way out.

do like those last four words :)

I always go back to the despicable phone hacking stuff when people start to reframe him as a hero.

They'll be fine in the US, where any slagging off of the former colonial masters is welcomed, it ain't just us who are pathetic dicks about this shit.

But The Palace could demand the papers involved to explain the discrepancies in those headlines/stories on pain of being removed from the royal rota, but they never will, for the same reason they dote on the military, those two institutions are very much needed to prop up theirs.

AFAIK he wasn't involved in the one that was most local to me at the time and was arguably the most despicable of all; Milly Dowler's phone, that was Murdoch and his crowd, Morgan was gone by then, iirc, happy to be proved wrong on that though.

I would have had him down as involved in that one, but I think I need to check my facts sometimes. :facepalm:
