I’m honestly just waiting for the next interview where they’ll cry and say that the media ruined the first few weeks of their life with Lili, they just wanted to quietly hunker down with their baby and their Zoom BFF Queen Elizabeth and the horrible firm didn’t let them enjoy a moment of peace.
I used to think their press reps were the absolute worst, but I slowly realized that it’s them. Much like the “firm” is not separate from QE but a reflection of her.

Well then if the primary concern regarding racism is the Royal families racist policies in the 60's we can surely also cite Harry's racist actions in the 2000's? There are many examples to cite. So; there's something he did that was so bad. People keep wanting to forget Harry's own problematic comments and wearing a Nazi costume. All things that happened in the 2000s. The things he's said and done aren't too far removed from today.

fitz I cannot believe that they held up a photo of Terry and thought "yes, this looks exactly like him". God, what will the statue of Diana look like...?
I can't help but wonder if Harry's sudden insistence that everything the RF does is cloaked in vaguely defined racism is because he is trying to recuse himself from his past problematic comments and the two (that we know of) times he thought it prudent to wear a Nazi costume as fancy dress. If so, it's blowing up in his face, because those things were out there online, they were just often pushed to the side or forgotten about, and they are now being brought to renewed attention. I don't doubt that people have behaved terribly in the RF re: racism, but it sounds a bit like overcompensation to me.

Google not dead Footballer Christiano Ronaldo bust to witness another sculpture crime! My bar for a very lovely Diana piece is low, very very low, I do hope I am proved wrong, and it will be a very original creative piece of art.

If I was making a statue of Terry Wogan it would 100% be him doing The Floral Dance.

Topic/ Flopic The mere mention of the Floral Dance means I have to go forth and do my country man justice where his statue does not and give this thread the glory that is Sir Terence of Wogan and the Floral Dance 70s styleEdit As I’m off topic anyway For those who knew who Terry Wogan was and like mad pop music quiz Terry Wogan hosts quiz, Nevermind the Buzzcocks Princess Anne interview with Terry Wogan I believe a live interview too. Imagine a royal interview on the Graham Norton Show now, the noise it would make, Graham Norton wouldn’t exist without Terry, so an interview with Princess Anne then must have been a big deal.

I used to think their press reps were the absolute worst, but I slowly realized that it’s them. Much like the “firm” is not separate from QE but a reflection of her. On one hand, I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they took two days to enjoy the baby in peace before announcing because they knew exactly what kind of media shitstorm would be coming. Then I see that they gave People all the details of their super private birth and it's beyond obvious they're happy to be in the spotlight again. So their complaints about the media don't cut it anymore. Not when they behave like a chick who keeps running back to a toxic partner—and dragging her kids along— because deep down she lives for the drama and attention.

One thing I wonder about the Harkles, aren't they tired of the endless nonsense? They moved countries, they're living it up in a freaking mansion with millions in the bank and lucrative deals based on their royal titles. Like jeez, enjoy it. Stop the endless whine fests and "we're the biggest victims in the world!" tour. Enjoy your LIFE like you keep saying you want.
It's pretty easy to shun the press and stay low while enjoying your millions. Beyonce and Jay Z have made it an art form. They drop their music/projects/business, do some appearances and then disappear. When you do see them in between, it's long-range pap shots on their freaking yacht, living it up. They don't respond to every slight and perceived jab. Their child was dragged for her hair, they get dragged for all sorts of things, but you know what they do? Shut up, keep it moving, make their money and enjoy their lives.
Most celebrities know how to do this, Jennifer Aniston is another example. The woman has been rumoured to be pregnant for years, pining for Brad cos she's such a loser, pathetic for not having a long-term relationship etc etc. She carries on, makes her movies, sips mojitos in Mexico and enjoys her friendships. Hell, even Angelina if we're going there. She's been one of the most polarising celebs in modern celebville. And she pays no heed to the critiques.
This is what most smart people in the spotlight do. The Harkles don't have a problem with the press. They just want ONLY good press. When Meghan was getting write-ups about how she's whip smart and blazing a trail unlike Waity Katie, she wasn't suing the press then.
You want the good gossip, you take the negative too, like when they're calling out your lies and hypocrisies.

Thanks for the confirmation on that, fitz, I heard about the shooting and wondered if it was the same organization Diana and Harry were/are associated with.
