Yeah Megsy's going her separate ways after she uses HIM like HIS #InvictusGames as the platform she NEEDED to start her rebrand coming out party Merch Fashion Show. But she'll do her own thing without him. We know who needs who. Shame Harry doesn't it too. He'd be better off.
Don’t be so silly Jo, not very royal to have plaster on her fingers that sounded so silly. Gosh have some compassion, she hurt herself playing with her children, gosh.
Why were they there they had no right to appear, neither were handicapped because of war. Put in a real Patriot, make the games worthy!!!!
MeGain is not a team player due to a narcissist psychology; that’s exactly why including her in the Invictus Games is a big mistake.
Why can’t they just keep things traditional – that’s why I love the Royals, CEO seems weird
You said that Meghan made clear that she sees the Invictus Games as belonging to Harry but she sure seemed to make it about herself – handing out medals and leading the parade instead of Harry. If you truly love someone, you want to see them shine. Instead she walks in front of him and just seemed to take over. I felt sorry for him – but he allows it. Such a shame.
I love love loved the podcast – not into Rugby but it was GREAT..
Meghan's speech was cringeworthy – she wasn't there to support Harry, she was there for her own PR. Sorry, Harry's not forgiven after what he did to his Grandparents in their final time on earth. Anyone can be an MC & chat people up.
Hes been the spare part since he got involved with the evil one
Love Kate. To Meghan… you can buy designer BUT YOU CAN'T BUY CLASS.
Rebecca says Invictus shows Harry at his best!!!!! On this years showing he hasn’t much to offer and was completely pushed out of the frame by the Markle.He might just as well not have been there!
Absolutley nothing Meghan does is “ off the cuff” . Her speech was completely inappropriate.
Poor Royals. They are suffering so much because of Harry and Meghan. But Harry and Meghan has no feelings. Yes H and M are not allowed to do anything without all these negative comments. All if you are biased. All your comments are so negative. 🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑
If H and M does things together there's criticism. If they do things apart there's criticism. What do you people want?? Basically everything they do is bad in your eyes.
Veterans deserve better
She sees her future lying is true, that's what she's always done, either untruthful or on her back
RMM could never do anything untarnished. She’s a pathological narcissistic liar. Anything that comes out of her mouth is garbage. She says nothing meaningful and it’s all about her. She has nothing to offer anyone. I find her disgraceful, disrespectful, an embarrassment, and absolutely vile. How she shows her face in public is beyond me! Talking about family at Invictus almost made me 🤮! One day I hope soon, people will realize what a snake she really is and stop trying to “rebrand” her on a weekly basis.
Are they paid to be at events?
Megan would be nothing without the royal family connections.
I thought some information was recently “leaked” to the public!! They need a better order of security – sounds like a good idea!!
Bekker,You say you saw William and Kate?? Where was Catherine?? Does Catherine ever get concerned about Kate? Whomever Kate might be.
Good thing Catherine is tolerant and it is 2023. Because in a different time, you would not have been offered frozen spinach. Rather you’d have been handed a bucket…. Into which your head would roll after it was chopped off for disrespecting Catherine,Princess of Wales.
MelookatME, was Not AT invictus to support Harry, she certainly wasn't there to support the Veterans, she was there for her self. She was there for the PR exposure, disrespectfully useing the Veterans as extras and props
The HARKLES will never give their own money They just take take take. Megan has no talent or cache.
. Give me a break people Marco wasn’t there to support Harry. Marco was there to support Markle and get publicity and get more info that she can cash in on really
Well I can see how she would play with the kids on a trampoline . And another sad tale from reporter. So she clamped a bag of frozen spinach in her broken toes but she got the job done. There’s a dedicated royal reporter. Xxx
I bet William had something to do with Kates hurt fingers
Oh for heavens sake !!! The only reason Megan was at the games is to be in the Netflix documentary that was VERY CLEARLY being filmed !!!Remove these grifters titles !!!!
Meghan is dynamic and a breadth of fresh air.
Can Rebecca please stop calling Catherine “Kate”
Harry smiling & happy at Invictus … then Meghan turned up
The two grifters need to just go away. Megain has already been "sullied". Too late for remediation. H is done: stupid, whining, victim talking mumbler. Good riddance to both.
Camilla is NOT The Queen, she’s The Queen Consort.
Meghan never lets Harry just be Harry. Invictus is Harry's and he does a good job with it. This is one area she needs to totally step away from.
MARKLE WILL TARNISH HER SHOW HERSELF ! SHE DOESENT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO BE AN ACCET FOR HERSELF !
HARRY MESSED HIMSELF US WITH HIS RACIST REMARKS. THE GERMANS WERE NOT PLEASED ! THE MEEEMEEE CAME ALONG AND FINISHED MESSING IT UP, WITH HER RASIST REMARKS ! THEY ARE GOING DOWN BECAUSE THEY JUST DONOT KNOW HOW TO BE POSITIVE PEOPLE. THEY ARE A MESS !
Aren't u going to talk about her me•metalk about being late to get milkshakes for the"kids". Sorry, I can only handle a tiny bit of her b.s.
Richard Eden's heavy breathing while talking about Meghan is laughable
Harry and Meghan can do whatever they like
Eden is an idiot
Alison Boshoff…rghan wants to detach from "Harry's" "victimhood narrative. … "
Less cachet. More cash….jo
The Ozzie.
It's been the big Harry relaunch
—Rebecca English
Forget MEghan Markle, as most of US certainly would like to do; I don't understand why no one is willing to call out how inappropriate it is for HARRY to be involved with Invictus precisely because of his "victim narrative," which is utter anathema to those in the games overcoming trauma and physical challenges on limited incomes and resources WITHOUT the whining about victimhood!!! I was raised in a very military family with generations of career enlisted and my father the only one who didn't pull a full 20, having been twice wounded and disabled in Vietnam. Outside of me and my sisters, the only people who have ever thanked my father for his service and literal sacrifices visible on his body are the soldiers in the 1st Cav I adopted during a deployment to Afghanistan after I told them the reason I'd asked to be matched with their unit specifically was because my father had served with the 1st Cav in Vietnam and I never wanted what happened to him to be repeated. The letter noted they are schooled to carry the spirit of those soldiers from the Vietnam War who earned them the legendary nickname they still proudly carry as "the Iron Horse," because of how important they were in proving the concept of air-mobile infantry inserted in a hurry as a critical element in winning/turning the tides of battles. I and he appreciated that letter, but the real instruction I got on the Invictus spirit came from seeing it in action on a daily basis. Many times he'd come home from work, down a fist of aspirin, and start bracing and taping his legs anew, to the point there was more metal and adhesive rather than muscle and bone holding him up, all so he could coach girls' softball for my all-star athlete sisters. That was often in the evenings during the work week, when he'd regularly come home with knees looking more like basketballs! He'd actually been told by the Army he'd "never function normally in society again," but he refused to accept that prognosis and his new limitations!
He thought he was providing a better life for his family when he waged war to retrain and return to work, getting a job as a dishwasher in a pizza place that let him take a large pie with anything he wanted at the end of every shift and completing a course to get certified as an imaging tech for the then-new field called nuclear medicine. He figured hospitals had to be set up for "cripples" to access them and would be willing to look past injuries since demand for techs outstripped supply in that first generation. He was right. Only the political leaders quick to forgive draft dodgers and start the supposed national healing of breaches from the Vietnam War also decided they hadn't quite exploited veterans enough and included slashing benefits for any disabled vets going back to work in their defense-budget belt tightening of the late 1970s. It would take well over a decade for their benefits to be restored, as the Gulf War caused a reorienting of appreciation for veterans, albeit (wrongly) without anyone actually thanking or apologizing for NOT thanking/supporting those troops of the Vietnam era even as they (rightly) heaped praise on our heroes of Desert Shield/Storm. So, instead of disability plus wages lower than a teacher made and without breaks for summers and holidays, we spent most of our childhood living below the poverty line–and still better off than those previous generations who'd lived in flat-out poverty, which was the calculation both of my grandfathers made when they became career enlisted after surviving World War II. Throughout all of that, I never heard a word of complaint or whining about victimhood from my father.
It was thus a stunning moment to be sitting in front of the TV watching the opening credits of the new show Quantum Leap and have my father remark, "Hey! That's the issue I'm in!" as covers of Life magazine and images of the past whizzed by on the timeline. It turns out that one of the most iconic images from the Vietnam War showing a medic with a bandage around his head caring for a wounded soldier with bandages on his head is of the medic who cared for my father when he finally collapsed–after his best friend switched places with him to make the load easier as they were dragging in an even worse wounded soldier, stood up in precisely the spot my father had been standing seconds earlier, and was instantly killed with a bullet through the head. None of the physical pain he ever experienced could compete with that loss, all of which I learned only because of that casual remark!
It did fit finally together some puzzle pieces with hints of that picture, though. My mother refuses to this day to watch the news, listening to it on the radio in the car or from the next room, with allusions to the war coverage and not being able to "unsee" the explanation we got until that night prompted me to ask more questions. It turns out it wasn't general coverage of Vietnam as the "living-room war" that was the problem; irresponsible, blood-sucking vampires calling themselves "journalists" didn't wait for proper notifications to be made back home before sharing footage, when they and media outlets buying it had reputations to make that just couldn't wait for such petty niceties! My mother saw film of the action on the evening news and my father lying with the wounded and then had to wait THREE DAYS to find out he was alive, and that was with her living on post with my grandparents and my grandfather pulling all the strings he had. Ultimately, all he could really do was let the chaplain know she was both an Army daughter AND wife and that he should come get my grandfather before implementing the new protocols for in-person death notifications revised in response to losses suffered by the 1st Cav in the Ia Drang Valley that got my father sent in the first group of reinforcements.
I was just heading off to college, and that experience was the clincher for directing me into the fields of oral, military, and presidential history. Plenty of historians could talk about what was broadcast and printed bringing the Vietnam War INTO living rooms, but few studied what happened to those soldiers and their families IN THEIR living rooms (during and after the war)–especially given that 20-30 years down the line most professors in history departments had gotten student deferments and/or protested the war. Yet because men like my father and families like mine didn't whinge like Harry, our stories were being lost! My father also hadn't had a Leave It to Beaver kind of childhood in regard to his mother, I might add. Dig into the backgrounds of those Invictus troops, and I'd bet you'd find a lot of childhood trauma that amplifies their challenges, but it doesn't mean THEY request a permanent pass for whining life is hard and entitlements delivered on a silver salver, as Harry seems to want over Diana!
So, to have Harry out there banging on about being a victim, victim, victim, victim in every way but then turning around and wanting credit for the Invictus Spirit is loathsome and disgusting even before you get to the part about that number of kills he gave jeopardizing everyone in his unit and their families along with his own family, as if he'd never heard the slogan, "Fourteen gone and not forgotten; we got EIGHTEEN and Mountbatten" PLUS women and children of HIS FAMILY!!! The only reason Harry was Diana's son was that Mountbatten's granddaughter turned down Charles after that terror attack! In every way, letting Harry cover himself in Invictus glory while he whinges constantly about how victimized he is presents a case pretty darn close to stolen valor that he'd relinquish for the good of those games and those participating in them if he really cared about those men and those issues, because whatever it is that Harry represents now as far as the royal family, it certainly isn't an icon of Invictus spirit!!!
mm is an actress so she would have learnt her speech by heart while she was on the plane for 8 to 10 hours. DEFINITELY NOT OF THE CUFF!!!
Wishing Rebecca all the best for a speedy recovery with her toe.
I thoroughly enjoyed the rugby podcast. I loved Princess Anne! She seems like she would be a laugh “behind the scenes”.
Your photo montages are always wonderful and at times, very touching. Please keep them coming.
Why do we have to always hear about H &M every week 😡they are NOT working royals. Longer segments should be given to the Prince and Princess of Wales and our King and Queen. I am so jaded with hearing about the treacherous Sussex’s! Why aren’t we talking about the heroic athletes??
