This man killed members of the Taliban...how has he dissolved into this uber-beta male..

And how much longer do they have to "tell their story"...5-10 more years of this?


Probably for as long as the right wing media sites keep stoking the fires of their viewing bases hatred

There's zero percent chance this Beta killed anyone but his family's dreams.

Considering his "Families Deams" were for him to be a good little white boy who married some foreign Princess he is distantly related to and then live the rest of his life in the public eye doing nothing but being a visible emblem of the British Monarchy, then good for him. Also, if being a "Beta" means caring more for the woman you love than a Family who happily ostracises him for doing so, then double good for him

Wow, I didn't hear about the divorce. So when did you and Reality start 'seeing other people'?

As for Harry, he brought his misery on himself.

  • Trashing the Queen was incredibly tone-deaf last year, then failing to walk it back just made it worse
  • Trashing the new King is almost as bad. No, Charles not loved the way Elizabeth was, but he gets a sort of honeymoon as a new monarch, so when you are cruder to the new King than the Liberals in Parliament, you have stepped in it yet again
  • Military culture is a thing in Britain. You do not - ever - make light of killing people the way Harry did, much less insult your brother soldiers. I'm sure Harry did not mean it that way, but all that proves is he was incredibly stupid in his choice of words, and failing to consider how they would be received
  • Never ever, ever, ever trust the media to care about you beyond getting a story they can publish on air and in print. Used kleenex is more important to them than the people they feature.
  • Turns out Harry doesn't have much in the way of marketable skills. But he's blowing through millions of dollars a year on a lavish lifestyle. Seems like he was fine with living the life of a Royal, he just didn't like what the position requires. I have no sympathy for him, he has shat his bed and if he won't clean it, he has no business complaining about the smell.

What does right wing media have to do with them? The post you are replying to is a 60 minutes interview.... hardly right wing media.

Isn't their show also on woke Netflix... again not right wing.

yeah, but its the right wing media that constantly run hit pieces on them, a few weeks ago, a few days apart, the Daily Mail ran stories about Meghan and Kate (Prince Williams Wife) when they had essentially done the same thing, not exactly, but broadly similar and framed the story about Meghan in a negative light and the one about Kate in a positive one, that kind of stuff because thats what their readers love to froth about.

If these Right Wing media sites didnt constantly do this, Harry and Meghan wouldnt feel the need to have to put their side of the story across.

Right.... keep believing that fantasy.

When they are out there calling the royal family racists, bigots, etc. in an interview on a liberal media show that has ZERO to do with the media on the right running "hit pieces." That is the two of them stirring the pot to get more attention, views on their shows, book sales, etc.

There is no way they went on Oprah because of the "right wing media"

or netflix

Or 60 minutes

Or that a quick google search pulls up literally hundreds of stories that are on liberal media like CNN, MSNBC, Newsweek, etc. Many of them are ORIGINAL stories on those sites and not found on Fox, Dailymail, etc.

  • Trashing the Queen was incredibly tone-deaf last year, then failing to walk it back just made it worse

What did he say about the Queen, the only comments i remember were criticisms of the Commonwealth in general, which i dont disagree with
Quote:

  • Trashing the new King is almost as bad. No, Charles not loved the way Elizabeth was, but he gets a sort of honeymoon as a new monarch, so when you are cruder to the new King than the Liberals in Parliament, you have stepped in it yet again

If you mean the bit about being a cold and Distant Father, then i think you would find most Brits would have guessed that anyway tbh
Quote:

  • Military culture is a thing in Britain. You do not - ever - make light of killing people the way Harry did, much less insult your brother soldiers. I'm sure Harry did not mean it that way, but all that proves is he was incredibly stupid in his choice of words, and failing to consider how they would be received

You clearly do not know as much as you think you do about Brits, speaking as one who has plenty of Military Friends and lives near an RAF Base, that you are wrong.
Quote:

  • Never ever, ever, ever trust the media to care about you beyond getting a story they can publish on air and in print. Used kleenex is more important to them than the people they feature.

well, Duh

well, i dont care much about the Royals one way or the other, im sure his Lavish Lifestyle comforts him somewhat, i also will say that as a Child, having to live out his (and his Brothers) grief for his Mother in such a public setting must have been traumatic. I dont think Harry has done much wrong other than marrying someone he loves and defending that person when she was attacked over inconsequential things.

I am not against Monarchy per se

In fact Constitutional Monarchies are some of the most stable and developed nations on earth.

But what it does to the people put in the fish bowl is one of the biggest arguments against it. Harry is a prime example of that effect.

He would be a very different person if he had not had a camera in his face since his young boyhood days.

feel free to point out what i have said that is wrong, i didnt say they are Saints or anything, but whilst some of it is of their own doing, they havent really done a lot wrong, I mean, do we really need a Zillion stories about her Dad and why he doesnt have a relationship with his Daughter (spoiler alert, its probably because he keeps going to the press every time he can get a buck out of them for some non-story)

What's the consensus in your Beta Bros meetings that makes coverage of British former royals some kind of right wing conspiracy? Is it just the reflexive tribalism you discuss while getting mani-pedis? I'm just fascinated how the authoritarian leftists make everything so simplistically tribal.

I do wonder why whenever people like you disagree with someone, you cant just disagree and feel the need to try and be offensive, beating your chest and trying to be Macho about things, truth be told, my Chef Hands could probably do with a decent Manicure.

Also, if you think all Leftists think that any negative media coverage of former Royals is a right Wing conspiracy, you clearly dont have a clue what you are talking about, if anything most Leftists are anti-Monarchy

Botox, maybe a face lift, and maybe some liposuction to fight fat areas is about all any woman should be doing after age 35.

You just can't stop mother nature long term.

You can fight wrinkles, fat deposits, and some sagging skin.

That is about it.

All this plastic surgery, butt implants, and check implants...its all so crazy.

These women end up looking like aliens by age 60

Being fit and eating a healthy diet are really the only things that really help the outer appearance.

Being a kind person may help too. Seems like old crabby people look harsher than old nice people.

She certainly started with a much higher baseline as far as looks than Madonna, but she still looks really nice.

Just replace swinging, adultery, or strip club and see how it sounds ...

I really don't need my children to know much of anything about their teachers. I did know but one of my teacher's husband's names - he was my pastor - and certainly did not know their favorite sexual position. These narcissist babies need to go protest merit or something.
