No cooking, no recipe ideas

Posted by Susan T on February 6, 2025, 11:44 pm, in reply to "February 7 - This One and His Wife"

But according to sources who have seen a preview of the series, the Duchess of Sussex won’t be seen going through recipes step by step and measuring out ingredients. (snip)

The source said: ‘There is no point at which Meghan says “take 200 grams of flour” or anything like that.

‘It’s a very magical and beautiful guide to hosting and entertaining rather than a how-to cookery show. It’s about inspiration – more like, “Why not try and make this kind of pasta or this kind of dessert”. Harry isn’t in it.

It’s all her, and all about her. It’s very watchable.’

If it's all about her, it's not watchable.

I was just going to say, just like her Instagram videos, but with the editing a little better.

It's the TOW show at Invictus

Warning: Only watch if you have a strong stomach. And definitely do not read the comments.

TOW claims she didn't plan to speak at the event (she lies like a rug). She can't stop yapping.

Please note the applause for TO was much louder and the audience responsewas far more enthusiastic than it all was for TOW. TOW had to drag her children into her nonsensical speech and gave TO a very possessive and bizarre introduction.

She can't just say it means a lot to Harry (paraphrasing), she has to say "I need you to know..." It's like her brain is constantly working in "I" or "me" into every single thing she says. If she commented on the weather it would be "I saw it was snowing this morning..." Fascinating and creepy.

Because if she hadn't told us, we wouldn't know how much it means to him? His saying so wasn't enough???

The speech was so cringey I didn't look closely at her outfit. I've gotten a good look now and it's just bizarre. The top is too tight, of course, and the skirt is a different shade of black and a completely different fabric. And, of course, she's overdressed.

Same old BS Meghan gave in Dusseldorf and I'm sorry, but bringing up their children repeatedly...what have Archie and Lili got to do with IG and the athletes? Nothing. The speakers at the Olympics Ceremonies speak about the athletes and the Games, not their children, or their personal lives. The people on the stage, on Meghan's right, did look like, "Shut the f*** up and get off."
The thing I noticed with Meghan and Harry speaking, I watched both Tudor and Taz twice, I also think both of them were either high or not quite drunk, but had been drinking. Harry sounded on Taz's video as if he slurred a couple of words a bit.

I was thinking, and listening to the lukewarm applause, the welcome the Prince and Princess of Wales would receive. How about the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh....Royals that care.

Opening Ceremony

Posted by karenl on February 9, 2025, 12:31 am, in reply to "Re: Taz 's take"

Usual gushing DM article. The usual, "Look at us, we're so in love" PDA. Barf. I didn't see any wildly cheering crowds. The majority don't look too happy at all.
The stadium was not full, the photos show large sections empty. Rumor was that IG was offering free tickets the last 2 weeks because sales were so bad.
The photos where Meghan is trying to push the woman in the wheelchair....the chair is self propelled, that's why there are no handles. The rest of the people in the group are looking at Meghan like, "What the hell are you doing?"

TOW was overacting. Honestly, she looked really drugged up in some of the videos and photos. The pawing and grabbing was excessive, even for her. It looked manic to me.

Meghan criticized for moving athlete's wheelchair without permission

She moved the wheelchair for a photo. Incredibly disrespectful.

Yes, she treated that athlete like a piece of furniture to be moved. Infuriating.

She has zero empathy for anyone and doesn't grasp the concept of personal space.

That "look how happy we are" shtick looks like an exaggerated version of Taylor & Travis after a game. She's always copying someone, the game is to guess who. This time she's copying/appropriating Taylor's "supportive girlfriend, dressed to the nines, uber-successful girl boss, they're so in love" vibe.

The athlete is waving her hands, "Stop, stop!" You can tell on her face she's distressed and upset. That's why the rest of the group is looking so upset also, it was beyond rude and it was an invasion of space.
That's why the Royal Family says "no" to media "suggestions" to bring back these dimwits to the fold. It was the best thing when they left.

They do look stupid, don't they? It shows just how much Harry is using IG just for the PR and I really question his devotion to the event and the athletes now. Show up for the opening ceremony long enough to kiss and hug the wife for the JumboTron, clap and smile for the big musical acts, leave before the athletes parade. Of course, it shows he doesn't have the spine to stand up to the wife.

Harry's speech

Posted by Nellie on February 9, 2025, 9:23 pm, in reply to "February 7 - This One and His Wife"

I an interested in hearing views on who might have written Harry's speech to open the Games.
I doubt that either of the Sussexes contributed.

The speech was written by either of the Sussexes. It may have been written by a staff member or PR person for IG. It wasn't a bad speech, but the mention of Toni Morrison and her quote had to have been an addition from Meghan.

Thanks for your comments. I felt it was tightly managed and contained the right ingredients for the occasion. Parts certainly moved individual people who related to it.

Harry Showed Films Of Diana After Archie Was "Asking About Landmines"

Posted by karenl on February 10, 2025, 7:15 pm, in reply to "The Mask Slips"

You're such a liar, Harry. How freaking stupid do you think people are? We all aren't as dumb and thickheaded as you are.
I asked my sister if I asked about landmines when I was 5. She said I was more advanced, I asked about the difference in physiodynamics between the Atomic and Hydrogen bombs. Harry and Meghan stop making out like your kids have been mini adults since birth.

I must have been a backwards child. I was busy playing with dolls and using my mother's Gorham silverware to dig up her vegetable garden (my older brother used her Baccarat wine glasses with his Hot Wheels cars and tracks. It's a wonder we survived childhood). I wasn't asking about landmines.

And why was Harry talking about Diana, Archie, and landmines at the Invictus Games anyway? Yes, I know many wounded warriors lost limbs and suffered other terrible injuries to them, but I thought the Games were meant to lift them up and celebrate them, not remind them of the horrors of what they went through. Silly me, I guess?
