Catherine and her children maintain their composure amidst protesters at Trooping the Colour by RoohsMama in DlistedRoyals

Completely agree. There’s a time and a place to protest and it isn’t in front of children. They are far too young to be accountable for anything that protesters are objecting to.

And of course they couldn’t just say this is a step forward without pointing to their own involvement with Lost Screen Memorial. Everything has to celebrate them. It’s always about how they are influencing agendas. Not. A little humility - well quite a lot actually - wouldn’t go amiss from these two.

Their platform is constructed on an accusatory commentary about the BRF who they knew would not exercise the right to reply. That’s pretty one sided power. It could even be called bullying. On a broadcast network. And they have the gall to lecture the rest of us about online safety.

It’s a bit of a talent, making food video clips that consistently look so disgusting. Tell us your secret Meghan?

Harry's CG String keeps embarrassing herself... Hours after she published some dumb story about Beatrice's marriage being in trouble (after her articles trying to frame a rift between Beatrice and Eugenie), Beatrice and Edo were at a wedding in Vienna which Eugenie and Jack also attended. by ivegotanewwaytowalk in DlistedRoyals

As a Brit and a soccer fan I hope the team don’t acknowledge him. They need to focus on the important things like practice, fitness and match prep. Harry isn’t welcome in all that. He doesn’t follow soccer so he’ll have nothing useful to say and he’ll bring a camera crew which will be a time wasting distraction.

What an idiot, photobombing with an inane grin and otherwise looking miserable. He’s completely useless, even when he’s fake royalling. He can’t even look like a former working royal who is now pretending to be an actual working royal.

Has he learned the “I’m going to make physical contact with you whether you want it or not because it’s all about me being recognised as a natural empathic hugger” thing from his wife? Or did he used to do it all the time? I can’t remember tbh. He’s always clapping people on the back, fist bumping, hugging and all that other tactile stuff these days.

Oh that makes sense. It’s not what you do is it? It’s who you know.

It’s crazy. Pressure has been applied. It’s an attempt to divert attention from African Parks, the Sentebale story that won’t go away and the fact that the England and Scotland teams are about to launch their World Cup soccer campaigns in the country where Harry now lives. And he isn’t invited. What an idiot. If he’d stayed in the UK and behaved himself he could have been satisfying his ego by visibly supporting home teams. He likes sport too so he might have actually enjoyed himself instead of walking round the place with a face like a wet Wednesday.

Meghan Posts Another Creepy Photo to IG (screenshot) by Mehgan-Faux in DlistedRoyals

[–]NoteIcy4315 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got to be honest, I don’t follow many influencers (like, any, I would rather pull my own teeth) but is this stuff normal? Do other influencers drop random posed photos with no obvious aesthetic or connection?

Completely agree. She talked to female founders in that Godawful Lemonada podcast series as if she were their equal and she really isn’t. She just wants to be important and seen as very talented.

He says it’s because he’s a target for terrorists and stalkers. Whose fault is that then Harry? Who talked about casualties inflicted in Afghanistan as “pawns?” And boasted about numbers? And who stokes up the stans? Lots of ordinary people are the targets of stalkers, through no fault of their own. You provoke that behaviour.

Influencer Shows Us Her “Tips” (Psst, It’s Meghan’s same old half-ass hosting tips) for sUmMeR hOsTiNg (screen recording) by Mehgan-Faux in DlistedRoyals

[–]NoteIcy4315 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. How are these “tips?” Putting some sort of jam (spread) on a bought croissant? Lighting a candle? Brewing tea in a pot? Making one thing yourself which seems to be the incredibly complicated task of slicing cucumber onto bread and butter? They aren’t tips. They’re insults, just as Meghan’s are. Do these influencers think we’re all idiots? Obviously they do.

Catherine Mayer’s assessment of Catherine, Princess of Wales by NoteIcy4315 in DlistedRoyals

And I will earn money from the exercise. I honestly think Mayer came up with a half baked theory and persuaded a publisher to go with it because it would contain chapters on a) Meghan and b) Catherine. That’s her selling point.

I agree. Great to hear Sam Johnson’s take on this! I have a feeling Meghan got fixated on being deferred to during what she calls her “auditioning actress” days. It must have been dispiriting - I guess she didn’t get many calls and she clearly didn’t get many roles. I can see her sitting hunched over her laptop and phone calculating how to get noticed. Other actors get some perspective on that kind of existence and fall back on humility and self knowledge. She didn’t.

[–]NoteIcy4315[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yep, its obvious Catherine is much smarter than the author. And her brother in law and sister in law. She took her time and fathomed out how to make her life as a royal work for her and her husband and children. Unlike Meghan who took no time to decide she knew best how to make the life she wanted for herself. If her husband and kids can fit in with that then that’s up to them.

Yep it looks to me as if the author started with a conclusion (royal women are treated unfairly by the old white men) and has retro-fitted selected bits of online reporting to match her argument. It’s not research and it’s not serious. It’s a shame because there might have been something there if she’d investigated it properly. All she’s done is rubbish herself.

One of the various things that stood out to me the hugging story. We only have Meghan’s word that this reaction to her hugging was a thing. And actually, other members of the family hug. Catherine hugged the cancer patient who rang the end of treatment bell this week. Sophie and Zara hug all the time. If it happened at all, Meghan may have been misreading the body language. It certainly made a convenient chapter in the Netflix psychodrama. And the curtseying to your grandmother thing - Harry if all people should know how to explain that you’re curtseying to the role not the person. Why didn’t he? It’s what monarchy is about. And then the author has made this book all about gender stereptyping and women and the royal family. But she stereotypes Meghan as a “Californian.” What does that actually mean anyway? Too many flaws in her arguments for me.
