The Hill: The Sussexes’ visit to Jamaica was a security threat to Britain!

Last year, The Hill published an absolutely unhinged column/analysis about King Charles’s coronation and the biggest problem facing Charles’s reign: his son, Prince Harry. While I will always agree that the Windsors’ Sussex mess has been their biggest crisis in decades, the Hill took the perspective that Prince Harry’s very existence and his success as an author and content creator are threats to democracy, a threat to NATO and a threat to national and international security. Seriously, go back and read those excerpts – it was one of the most delusional pieces of right-wing political commentary I’ve ever seen. Well, the same columnists are back on their bullsh-t and The Hill once again published this mess. Wouldn’t you know, Harry and Meghan’s appearance at a film premiere in Jamaica is absolutely a gigantic security risk to the UK and the British Commonwealth. For real.

Meghan’s dress was not gaudy!! `Red carpets, Hollywood glitz and staged photo ops are not evocative of a humble Rastafarian lifestyle. Nor was Meghan Markle, gaudily wearing an oversized black ball dress during a surprise appearance at the movie premiere of “Bob Marley: One Love” in Kingston, Jamaica. Prince Harry didn’t sport Marley’s iconic dreadlocks, but certainly the appearance of King Charles III’s youngest son is causing dread in Whitehall and Buckingham Palace.

The premiere was intended to upstage King Charles & Prince William. “Knives Out,” the 2019 dark comedy about an antagonistic family taking aim at its patriarch, would have been a more apt movie premiere choice. Harry and Meghan, ever the self-unaware narcissists, are clearly out for petty familial revenge in this latest installment of their South Park-branded “Worldwide privacy tour.” The timing of the scheming duo’s PR stunt in the Caribbean was likely calculated. Catherine, the Princess of Wales, who remains in hospital after abdominal surgery, will be laid up for months. William is sidelined from royal duties as well caring for their children. The King also will be out of pocket for some time as he begins treatment for an enlarged prostate.

The Sussexes are promoting Russian propaganda!! This would all be amusing, were it not for the serious damage Harry and Meghan continue to inflict upon the national security of the United Kingdom and its Commonwealth partners, and by extension to the U.S., with their effective promotion of Russian and Chinese propaganda. Harry and Meghan’s attention-seeking behavior was bad enough in the waning years of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip’s lives…But now it is far worse, given how rapidly an ideological global war is overtaking the globe. Harry and Meghan are incapable of reading the room at a geostrategic level. Devoid of much-needed Whitehall guidance, they are foolishly playing into the propaganda hands of Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping. Moscow and Beijing are out to destroy the Commonwealth headed by King Charles, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to help them at every turn. Simply put, it is time for Harry and Meghan to be formally stripped of their royal titles by an act of the British Parliament.

Unforgivable to warmly greet local government officials! Their decision at the “One Love” premiere to gladhand Marlene Malahoo Forte, the Jamaican minister for legal and constitutional affairs, was unforgivable from a king-and-country point of view. Forte is spearheading the movement for Jamaica to cease being a realm of King Charles and to become a republic. Nor was it constitutionally wise for Harry to be pictured with Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness who is continuing with his plans to hold a referendum on it later this year. While formal independence and republicanism are certainly choices Jamaicans have a right to make for themselves as a country and as a people, Harry in his capacity as the king’s son should not be seen as endorsing it.

William & Kate’s Flop Tour wasn’t their fault!! At the time, William and Catherine’s trip to Jamaica and Benin was widely thought a disaster, but unfairly so. Russian and Chinese disinformation campaigns to subvert the Commonwealth and the UK’s remaining realms had long been underway. The two simply ran into a buzzsaw not of their making.

LOL I hope Harry does this: What next? Will they meet with Argentine President Javier Milei, to discuss Argentina’s sovereignty over the Falkland Islands?

[From The Hill]

So, I’ll be slightly fair to the two lunatics who wrote this piece. I don’t doubt that the Sussexes’ appearance in Jamaica did cause some consternation in Whitehall and the palace. I don’t doubt that the Sussexes’ living their lives and thriving wherever they go IS damaging to the crown and commonwealth, because Harry and Meghan have revealed that the crown is antiquated, racist and poorly managed. That’s not “Russian propaganda,” that’s a fact. Now, what was Harry supposed to do when Jamaica’s prime minister greeted him? Should Harry have been rude and refused to shake his hand? Of course not – these people are just mad that the Sussexes do it better. They’re more charismatic, they’re friendlier and more polite, and they’re not colonialist clowns in Edwardian cosplay. Speaking of, whatever bonkers argument these men are trying to make is upended by their refusal to acknowledge that William and Kate f–ked up their Caribbean Tour. That’s not “propaganda,” that was their own racist clownery and poor management.

    Dear The Hill,

    Your outrage is misplaced. The FBI would still like to speak to credibly accused sexual predator Prince Andrew.

    Sincerely,
    Literally Everyone

    • garrity says:

      Dear The Hill:

      Which do you suppose was/is more of a threat to Western security: the Caribbean leaving the Commonwealth, or Brexit and the tensions it has aroused within the EU? Just, you know, curious about which political pole is doing to most to promote authoritarianism in the geopolitical order, here.

      Sincerely,
      Literally EVERYONE

      • Brassy Rebel says:

        Exactly this, Garrity! The threat to international peace and stability as well as democracy is coming from the global movement toward right wing populism. Certainly not anti-monarchists. And NATO will be fine unless Trumpers get their grubby little hands on it.

      • AC says:

        @garrity 1000% agree. Talking to a variety of people, there’s so much bitterness around Brexit, and I think a lot of people around here knows it’s a very big mistake(but at the same time I think some are too proud to admit it was a huge mistake, because after all it was their own doing). If I can provide an analogy, it’s like an atmosphere at one of the European airports we were at. Which was divided into 2 departure sections – UK citizens on one side of the airport wing – alienated and withdrawn. On the other side of the airport wing all the other EU citizens- lively, integrated, busy.

      • Tede says:

        @ ac i think we all know what england was going for when they voted Leave. It may have worked if they had better leadership and rich people. As it stands now their rich people are hoarding wealth. Their leadership thinks they will be bailed out. Its stupid. They dont think about next month ir next year.

        They have a strong group of people who are trying to bleed england dry. They need totally new eveything. They need new civil servants!

      LMAO

    They become more unhinged by the day. It’s so much fun to watch.

    • Carmen says:

      They have totally lost it. Upstage Chuck and William? A tree sloth on Ambien could upstage the royals, who are without doubt the biggest collection of brain-dead dullards in the known universe,

      • butterflystella says:

        @Carmen, I LOL’d at your comment and scared my kitty!!!!

      • Andrea says:

        Tree sloth on Ambien…
        *dies laughing*

      • kelleybelle says:

        Right on. Not even easy on the eyes, either.

      • Deering24 says:

        Carmen–🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

      • L4Frimaire says:

        Tree sloth on Ambien.I’m dying laughing at this! So accurate! I don’t know what hallucinogens these Hill writers are on but time for an intervention. Of all the things the Sussexes have done or places they’ve been, this is what sends the Brexiteers and Rota over the edge. A good vibes movie premiere in Jamaica. It’s been 3 days and they’re still bellyaching. Carry on Sussexes. Nice one.

      • bisynaptic says:

        @L4, 😁

      • 1960tlm says:

        @Carmen, Brain dead Dullards….throws head back and laughs out loud hysterically!!😆😆🤣🤣

    • Debbie says:

      I rather agree with you @girl_ninja, but I don’t want it to be “fun to watch” until someone drives through a tunnel in Paris, that’s all. These irresponsible people may be stoking up irrational fears in some quarters.

      • Julie says:

        See “Brexit”

        Irrational fears – right wing platform

      • Korra says:

        I feel the same way. While it may some obvious to us what is going on, propaganda like this is always has the potential to do some damage. And when you have so-called nat geo experts signing their names on unhinged pieces like this for media outlets like The Hill that are still seen as “respectable” in some quarters (even though both them and Politico have lost it some time ago), you just don’t know what trouble this is going to drum up. it’s grotesque that someone signed off on this.

    • ales says:

      Harry and Meghan are everything that the others dream of being. They actually work very hard, both are naturally charismatic. The other two W & K, the bottom line is that their extreme Jealousy is out of control. I do believe it mostly comes from KP and is driven on a daily basis. It is totally irrational and insanely dangerous.
      Narcissistic wannabes expect adoration but dont believe they have to do anything to earn it. William and Khate make no effort and yet expect and demand that they are treated like Harry and Meghan. Khate always looks like she has a bad smell under her nose or she is going to chomp peoples heads off with her wide open mouth and all those teeth, her bizarre created accent is not welcoming in any way, its very low class fake, William seems to have some charm, but only seems to show it when Khate is not around.

    • CP says:

      I’m in a commonwealth country and can’t wait to be rid of the British “royal” grifters. My country is likely more in danger with a lunatic family as head of state. This is such a joke – we are all laughing out loud.

  3. Snuffles says:

    “Devoid of much-needed Whitehall guidance, they are foolishly playing into the propaganda hands of Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping. Moscow and Beijing are out to destroy the Commonwealth headed by King Charles, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to help them at every turn.”

    Where on earth did this come from!? Since when is Russia and China been out to destroy the Commonwealth!? And what psychological disorder caused this man to make the ridiculous leap that walking a red carpet for a movie career equals aiding Communist regimes!?

    These people are utterly INSANE! Just when you think they can’t get anymore bat shit crazy, they double down.

    • Jan says:

      China is investing in the Caribbean, Africa and South America, they probably have more influence than Britain.

      • equality says:

        What is crazy about this though is that the US and UK have both borrowed funds from China and there is plenty of Russian ownership in the UK. They might want to look for these “communist influences” closer to home.

      • Amy Bee says:

        @Jan: The UK lost their influence a long time before China began investing money. The US usurped the UK and now the US is losing influence to China.

      • BlueNailsBetty says:

        They should start with Prince Michael and his racist hag wife.

      • Eurydice says:

        I think China is Jamaica’s 2nd largest trading partner after the US. Trade with the UK has dropped a lot in the past 20 years.

    • Miranda says:

      Russia and China would probably like to destabilize the entire Western world, sure (and if they succeed, it will primarily be the fault of the nationalistic RIGHT-WINGERS the world over, who are easily swayed by half-assed flattery and gleefully allow themselves to be used by Russian propagandists), but wow, they are really deluded if they think that anyone is particularly concerned with seducing the Commonwealth away from British influence. The British were rapidly losing the support of the Commonwealth even before Chinese investment in those countries because their government and monarchy clearly didn’t care about them, except to use them to pretend that they still have an empire. I have a few friends from Commonwealth countries who like to joke that it’s little more than a social club at this point, and the only reason for their membership these days is because their athletes stand a better chance at those Games than in the Olympics.

      • Brassy Rebel says:

        It’s disinformation to claim that Caribbean nations want to become republics because of Chinese and Russian disinformation.

    • Proud Mary says:

      All the right wing fear mongering in one paragraph. I believe that this article is a collab with KP. They are playing a dangerous game of feeding into MAGA support. KP is marginalizing the monarchy at a time when they should be broadening their base of support. I love this for them.

      • Agreatreckoning says:

        I suspect you are quite correct @Proud Mary. More than one palace may be involved too. Don’t care for The Hill. Spent 10 minutes reading some of Toth’s & Sweet’s previous articles. This article has the verbiage hysteria of an RR. Tominey? and her connections with the Heritage Foundation nutjobs.

        Giveaways(from things I’ve read from/in the BM):
        1. ‘in hospital’-Americans (which i believe both Toth & Sweet are) would say in the hospital. Remember when that came up with Bad Dad’s scripting.
        2. ‘out of pocket’. Not a very common expression amongst Americans unless your discussing expenses. Omid Scobie referenced Levin’s ‘out of pocket’ conspiracy theories in Endgame.
        3. William & Catherine. Here in the ‘ol USA. Will/William & Kate.
        4. Toth & Sweet are suppose to be intelligence/security experts. But, now they’re discussing a woman’s dress like they’re fashion experts on the Oscar’s red carpet. How embarrassing for them to have their names attached to this nonsense.

        Meghan looked HAF and that must hurt some Salt Islanders.

    • WiththeAmerican says:

      Projection. It’s long been suggested that Russian propaganda fueled Brexit and supports the right wing governments in various countries.

      The only morsel of fact is that Russia (and China, Iran, NoKo) are undermining global democracy, and several countries uniting to fight that include US, joined with U.K., Aus, and more. But guess who is enabling them: right wing governments, politicians, established elites like royals.

      Going to a film premiere has ZERO relationship to this.

    • Deering24 says:

      Dear God, are these idiots _still_ working the ancient “POC are weak Commie tools if they want freedom from colonialism” bullshit?!?!?!? Same garbage, different century…

    • Lux says:

      Right?? The same China with which The Future King wants to partner/host Earthshot, in which Peter Phillips had milk adverts running…?

      And the same Russia so beloved by Prince Michael of Kent, William Windsor and oh, not enough room to name the Royal bunch…that Russia? When all that mental gymnastics just backflips into the OG Shady Royals is when you know they’ve fully lost it.

  4. Lady Digby says:

    Even The Times last Saturday had a two page article on RF and Commonwealth which openly referred to 2022 Tour as disastrous.

  5. Inge says:

    ‘The timing of the scheming duo’s PR stunt in the Caribbean was likely calculated.’

    ofcourse they waited to accept the invitation till Kate was supposably in hospital and Charles announced his large prostate

    ?!?!

    • Josephine says:

      Weren’t they at a movie premiere? Pretty sure they can’t control when the premiere occurs.

      And these unhinged morons are silent when the royals are constantly coming up with ways to deflect from their favorite little pedo hitting the news.

      • Inge says:

        Yeah that’s what I was trying to explain, satirically. Plans would have been made week or months ago also seeing the security they need.

    • roooth says:

      The tabloids called the premiere Harry & Meghan’s “First Official Engagement”.

      Pick a lane, haters

  6. Amy Bee says:

    The piece is unhinged. Jamaica getting rid of Charles is not a threat to the Commonwealth. The majority of the member states are Republics.

    • equality says:

      Possibly. The more that are republics, the more likely they will shed the monarch as the leader of it and even possibly shed the UK as part of it.

      • Amy Bee says:

        The Commonwealth voted to keep the British Monarch as Head in 2018, the majority of the members then were Republics. They acceded to the Queen’s wishes that Charles be the Head, but I’m positive that when the decision has to be made again, the Commonwealth leaders will vote to get rid of the Monarch as Head.

    • GrnieWnie says:

      Lolol. I happen to be a geostrategist who specializes in relations between the US and one of those countries mentioned above. Can say without hesitation that I have never, not once in my years of analysis, considered the behaviour of the BRF — let alone ex-royals. The BRF only matters to the UK, a former empire with a very weak sense of who it is today in the world.

      But that was amusing…”Harry and Meg have no head for geostrategy”, film premieres MATTER! Lolol

      • Kittenmom says:

        That was my favorite part of the whole screed. These numbnuts are trying and failing to sound important by throwing in the SAT words.

    • windyriver says:

      “…Harry in his capacity as the King’s son should not be seen to be endorsing it.”

      You’d think this event from 2021 would be worth mentioning, but I guess it doesn’t count because Charles wasn’t king at the time, only the POW.

      https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a38376037/prince-charles-barbados-queen-removed-as-head-of-state/

      • Debbie says:

        Based on these lunatics’ reaction to the Sussexes’ presence in Jamaica, it appears that Charles’ attendance in Barbados was more ceremonial in nature. In other words, it’s more of the BRF’s typical performative nonsense where they try to convey a “We really don’t care that you’re doing this (to us)” attitude, but inside their hearts are breaking because they know it’s another sign of lost influence. Otherwise, how do you write that Jamaica has the right to choose formal independence and becoming a republic but malign Harry for greeting the Jamaican Prime Minister.

  7. Sam says:

    Today’s Guardian is so right:
    “The UK headlines and sour grapes tell you one thing: we messed up and we know it. Meghan was, and remains, soft-power dynamite, and all we have now is the soft-power kryptonite of Wills and Kate and the Windsor “firm” that spurned her. Still, that’s us: we never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.”
    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/26/harry-meghan-jamaica-soft-power-william-kate-britain

    • Beana says:

      That article was fantastic! I imagine it’s riled up some folks, but every word is true.

    • Dee(2) says:

      Wow. I’m usually a little critical of the Guardian coverage they receive but that article was great. No backhanded shade to be seen. Just clearly saying what most of us realized awhile ago. The media realized they screwed up chasing them out and none of the remaining members of that family has what it takes to connect like they did.

      • The Old Chick says:

        I dropped the guardian as reliable when the non stop H and M snark started. though they’re perceived as ‘not that bad’, it’s a low bar. Finally some truth telling.

    • Cassie says:

      Great article , very true.

      Can’t believe the other one, are they accusing Harry of trying to start world war 3.

      They have gone bonkers all of them .

    • Brassy Rebel says:

      The health crises have made the current disastrous state of the British monarchy more than obvious to everyone.

      • Athena says:

        It’s self inflicted, with Kate sick and Charles having surgery William should have stepped up and be seen everywhere instead he announced his plan not to work while his wife is sick. It’s as if they’re all tired of their role. I’m getting the feeling they all want out but don’t have the guts to say it.

  8. ShazBot says:

    The introduction of Russian and Chinese propaganda is interesting.

    Also, it was Belize not Benin. I hate editorial mistakes like that that aren’t caught.

    • Emma says:

      Came on to say exactly the same thing re: Benin/Belize. The whole piece is really poorly written, which is offensive in itself, never mind the content. Mental gymnastics to an insane degree.

    • Amy Bee says:

      The introduction of Russian and Chinese propaganda is off-base and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

      • Lady D says:

        It ain’t us that needs to be told this. However, there are those who will swallow every word of this unhinged screed, and worse, spread it like gospel.

    • bisynaptic says:

      Was wondering about that. This is clearly a throwaway article.

  9. Cessily says:

    Did they truly believe that Invictus games alone would not have them meeting world leaders and dealing with veteran and injured military organizations worldwide wide? Doors will always be open to this couple and hands extended in greeting because of their actions and achievements. They were to blinded by their hatred and racism to see the bigger picture.

    • Tina says:

      They really did. They completely ignored the fact that BOTH Harry and Meghan have been meeting world leaders and VIPs for years. The idea that elite doors would be closed to them simply because they weren’t working (lol because none of them work) royals is so laughable. They really don’t understand how the world outside their little royal bubble works 

  10. My god sounds like they hired a Trump team to spew this crap. Here we always know whatever the GOP say the Democrats are doing is really what the GOP is doing. So this is what they have come up with for Harry with this Russia nonsense. Harry and Meg are private citizens and can visit wherever they want. Things are going very wrong behind the scene on salt isle so now we have this Russian nonsense and a security issue. All this to cover up for what’s going down behind the scenes on salt isle

    • Couch Potato says:

      A Trump team who has forgotten that Putin and Trump are buddies. If H&M visiting a movie premiere in Jamaica is a security threath, what’s Trump’s dealings with Russians called? Loans, contacts etc!

  11. Jais says:

    Lordy, that Harry was not wearing dreadlocks but there was dread at Whitehall is just a really cringe attempt at some punny word play. They were twisting themselves into pretzels for that one. And it’s so bad lol.

  12. Amy T says:

    My favorite part of this piece is that W&K were the victims of a disinformation campaign. And my second is the whiplash adjectivery around Meghan’s appearance. Yesterday, Sarah Vines described her complexion as “dewy.” This piece calls her dress “gaudy.” These writers have really lost the plot.

    • ML says:

      Definition of gaudy: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/gaudy

      Meghan is not wearing an ostentatious, wildly colorful dress.

      It is so frustrating that articles like this ilk are constantly making it into print. The Hill must be a conservative website.

      • The Old Chick says:

        I’ve seen so many insta comments saying she looked ridiculous in a ‘ball gown’ when it was a strappy top and a skirt. They really wanted to find any way to mock them: they weren’t invited, they weren’t sitting with VIPs, she looked ridiculous. On and on. They’re so worked up that two people went to a movie premiere.

      • [insert_catchy_name] says:

        yeah I came here to see if anyone thought she was wearing a ball gown… or “ball dress” as it is called now I guess :’-D

      • WiththeAmerican says:

        Most news websites are now owned by conservatives, the Hill is conservative and published a huge lie about Joe Biden several years ago that they left up knowing it was a damaging lie based on, you guessed it, actual Russian propaganda against Ukraine and Biden.

      • phlyfiremama says:

        Yes, The Hill is full on right wing insanity.

      • BeanieBean says:

        Worse yet, they didn’t say Meghan’s dress was gaudy, they said she was ‘gaudily wearing’ it. I’m not quite sure how you ‘gaudily wear’ something, but there you go.

    • BQM says:

      It’s hilarious that it’s described as gaudy when Kate’s spangly green dress is RIGHT THERE. Meghan is literally wearing a black, unadorned dress with a full but simple silhouette and minimal jewelry. If anything the snark should’ve gone in the other direction. It would still be dumb but it wouldn’t be completely nonsensical.

    • Debbie says:

      I must confess, after reading and re-reading that paragraph, I finally gave up as I still didn’t understand what that “writer” was trying to say. When coupled with her description of how Harry wasn’t wearing his hair (dreadlocks), I finally got a clue that the so-called writer was so wrapped up in hate, they didn’t know what they were saying.

      • Agreatreckoning says:

        It was a big clue that a member of the RR/BM or Heritage Foundation was a large contributor to this article.

    • swaz says:

      Gaudy ballgown 🙄🙄 wait till Kate copies it, because she will, as soon as she recovers she will be all over Carolina Herrera 🤣🤣🤣

    • Ham & Cheese says:

      Where was their energy when Kate wore the opposition party’s colors to meet Jamaica’s PM.

      The BRF wears their disrespect like tiaras and capes and it shows.

      • Agreatreckoning says:

        Or Kate wearing that gold disco ball of a dress to the Top Gun premier with a junk bug hairdo?

        William’s velvet airplane slippers were a national threat to the intelligence of the BRF. And, that’s questionable without them d@mn slippers.

  13. equality says:

    Sorry, but the royals themselves showed that they are “antiquated, racist and poorly managed”. H&M are not responsible for the others’ behavior.

  14. Just Jade says:

    As much as I love seeing their fake outrage over the Sussex visit in Jamaica, something is going one with the leftovers because the same thing happened when they spent two weeks smearing a toddler than we found out about the mysterious surgery. I am really tired for Harry and Meghan to live like this and I don’t know how they do it.

  15. Harla A Brazen Hussy says:

    Wtf did I just read?!?!?! I’m old enough to remember that these types of “conspiracy theory” articles would be relegated to fringe, self-published magazines and laughed at by the general population, it’s frightening how fringe wing-nut “conspiracy theory” is now taken as serious by a large segment of society.

    • Jk says:

      My sentiments exactly. It felt like I was reading some obscure crazy sub Reddit. Totally bonkers.

    • Becks1 says:

      This was literally my reaction as well…..”wtf did I just read?!?!!?”

      Harry and Meghan really have triggered the whole establishment.

      I think something must be really bad between Charles and Kate, maybe the Waleses are on the verge of divorce, IDK. But these reactions are so unhinged that I can’t help but think there is something else going on.

    • [insert_catchy_name] says:

      Sometimes I read something from outside of my “silo” and get shook over how crazy and unhinged it is- like, not even some fringe blog or something, an actual publication.

      I really can’t understand someone who can read it with an uncritical eye.

  16. Lulu says:

    Haha, I couldn’t get past ‘black ball dress’. Sounds like thy are the Chinese or Russians who don’t know a common phrase like ball gown.

    • BlueNailsBetty says:

      It’s like someone coked up, opened ChatGPT and then typed “Harry Meghan black dress Russia China” did some more coke and added “Commonwealth dreadlocks Bob Marley” and hit submit.

    • Proud Mary says:

      I think they’re really jealous that Meghan looked so fresh and modern; while Kate’s Jamaica appearance, in those gaudy 50’s outfits was universally panned. The monarchy is in panic mode: The future looks rather bleak for the BRF right now, while the Sussexes are thriving.

      • Jais says:

        Lol, song lyrics just popped in my head thinking about Kate’s Scarlett O’Hara cosplay in comparison to Meghan’s modern look. As another Atlantan, not Margaret Mitchell, once said, “ain’t nobody dope as me, I’m just so fresh, so fresh and so clean clean” Meghan’s just fresh and modern, every time.

  17. YeahRight says:

    LMAO!! OMG! I totally picture someone getting carted off to their padded room after writing this mess. What a good laugh. Can they please strip them of those titles so they can shut up already. That’s the final thing they got to hold over Harry and Meghan.

  18. Mslove says:

    It’s only a matter of time before they blame the Mexico-US border crisis on Meghan & Harry.

    • BQM says:

      Well they do live in California which borders Mexico and California is also full of sanctuary cities so, yeah, they’re partly to blame. Geospatial whatever on all. /s

    • Korra says:

      You say in jest, but I would no longer be surprised if some right wing media lunatic does it. The Daily Mail made the most ridiculous leap of the decade by tying Meghan’s fondness for avocado toast with genocide, while Camilla Tominey attempted to link them living in Montecito with California’s water shortage. Associating them with the border crisis would just complete the trifecta.

  19. Giddy says:

    OMG! The jealousy and pure bitchiness in this article is insane! These two writers must have studied the photos for hours trying to come up their insults. What’s next? Keeping their own chickens is an existential threat to the dairy industry? Practicing yoga is a threat to the Church of England? Fools!

  20. Ocean Girl says:

    Good grief! Don’t these writers get tired of having to sound so stupid? They’re only embarrassing themselves!

  21. Dee(2) says:

    They are terrified. This is unhinged on a level that they don’t usually get too. They aren’t even trying to stay in a realm of believability. A black unadorned dress is gaudy? Attending a film premiere of a film produced by your neighbor, and about a man whose family you know, is scheming and part of Russian and Chinese propaganda? I’m sure this time next year we’ll be like oh it was so obvious, but something definitely has these right wingers in the UK shook right now.

    • Tina says:

      The reaction to Harry’s award and now this event is really beyond belief. Whatever is happening behind the scenes must be bad.

    • SussexWatcher says:

      This is a great take, Dee. There is something serious and huge going on behind the scenes in the House of the Leftover Royals. Their distraction attacks are at a fever pitch, it has to be covering up something major.

      I think/hope you’re right that by next year we’ll know WTF is going on. And hopefully after that time they will leave the Sussexes the fcuk alone.

      Someone in yesterday’s thread (sorry, I don’t remember poster’s name) said they thought both Pegs and Kkkeen are in rehab. And that made me think that – I do think Kkkeen is in some sort of hospital for mental or physical injuries – but also that maybe this is really a cover for something going on with Pegs. Maybe alcohol rehab and that’s why we were getting so many articles about one beer Willy. Everything they do and say is opposite-day, so maybe those were all hints that his drinking is actually out of control.

      It makes me go back to the whole shady story of Sofiesta’s hit and run and someone at the time suggesting it was really Peg’s motorcade. Nothing that family says or does can be trusted to be the truth.

      Anyway! Sorry, got long-winded, but that was all to say that I completely agree with you Dee, that something huge is happening behind the scenes. And as per usual, they’re attempting to use Harry and Meghan as scapegoats.

    • MsIam says:

      The right wingers know they are losing power in the US. Only 7% of registered Republicans bothered to vote in the Iowa primary and the party is bleeding members, just like the evangelical church. They are terrified that Meghan will start campaigning for Democrats either directly or indirectly like Taylor Swift. So that’s why they are targeting her like they are Taylor.

      • Saucy&Sassy says:

        MsIam, that’s logical and could well be what this is about. I hope she does another public announcement about voting. I’m hoping that Taylor does, too. Women are going a long way to deciding this election, I believe.

        SussexWatcher, I do think that Wont is in rehab–and probably KHate, too–there’s no other reason for him to be MIA. When we watch some of the things in the past, we’ve wondered if KHate has been medicated because of how she looks and acts. I’m just saying we can’t rule it out.

    The South park obession again
    No word about Andrew once again.

  23. aquarius64 says:

    Harry and Meghan meeting the prime minister of Jamaica, the same prime minister who told the now Waleses Jamaica doesn’t want the British monarch as head of state, is showing how bad the future king and queen are bad at soft power diplomacy. The Foreign Office I believe instructs a royal what country to visit promotes the UK governmnet’s interests. FO may not be happy with the Windsors because they along with the BM caused Sussexit, losing two royal stars who would have been able to promote brand Britain.

  24. BlueNailsBetty says:

    I would laugh if we found out William secretly wrote this nonsense. You just know this is how he sounds to his friends when he’s ranting about Harry and Meghan. Frothing at the mouth, spewing random words, spinning ridiculous conspiracies, demanding everyone agree with him.

  25. Kay says:

    Good grief are the press that desperate. They are becoming positively unhinged trying to drum up sympathy for Kate and Charles; while tearing Harry and Meghan to shreds. It is becoming truly boring.

  26. MrsCope says:

    The RF, FO and BM can’t have it both ways. You can’t say, “well he isn’t a WORKING royal, so we don’t think there’s a target on his back (no security protections for you)” AND “everywhere he goes, everything he does has a global, political, diplomatic effect as the King’s son!”

  27. Proud Mary says:

    Just came here to remind ya’ll that the wingnut who owns the hill is friends with the orange nightmare. During the last general election, when dRumph ran out of money, the Hill regularly ran his adds on their YouTube channel.

    • BQM says:

      It used to be a good site. And why the F do they even care about the Sussexes? It’s a US political site not a gossip blog. Hence the name—The(Capital) Hill.

      • Proud Mary says:

        BMQ, you’re right. It used to be a really good website for reporting on Capitol Hill. When they started their YouTube channel with Kyrstal Ball and Sagar Engeti (sp?) I watched regularly. Then one day, a light ball lit up for me: It was when I came to realize that Krystal’s role on that show was to convince young progressives that they had something in common with ultra-rightwing Trump supporters. Krystal hates “establishment democrats”. I’m no fan of theirs either.
        But she has no problem with right wingers? Are you kidding me? Then during the election, I saw the Hill cape for the oranger. Yes, the democratic party can be quite disappointing at times for people like me. But I have to be sensible in knowing that, despite any fantasies I may have about a third party, the two parties are all we have; and of the two, the democrats are the only ones who care about democracy. It is the bare minimum, but without it, what do we have?

  28. Just Jade says:

    It’s going to be a long year for us Sussex fans. They are taking their anger on H&M for whatever is going on with W&K. They look behind the curtain and it’s not looking good for them no access coming from Sussexland. It’s 2019 all over again!

    • Proud Mary says:

      Hon, we’ve been in this fight for going on to six years now. I said from day one of Sussexit: the more successful Harry and Meghan are outside the monarchy, the greater the meltdown will be on that island, and therefore the greater the danger to Harry and Meghan. In other words, H&M’s success can be measured by the volume of their enemies hue and cry. So, in a way, the belly aching from salt island is a good thing. I’m here for the long haul, are you?

  29. Shawna says:

    William is the security risk (Russian honeypot, anyone?) To a lesser degree, Chucky Bags of Cash.

    • Mrs.Krabapple says:

      This. Charles literally accepted bags of cash from Russian oligarchs, not to mention from bin Laden family members, and God only knows who else (Epstein?). William takes mysterious trips to Saudi Arabia. William’s sycophant David Beckham shills for abusive middle east governments. This is just another case of bizarre opposite world where the royal family accuses others of their own crimes.

  30. Harper says:

    As if we didn’t all see the Cambridge DisasTour unfolding in real time, but no, now it’s those manipulative Russian and Chinese bots buzzsawing into sawdust what was at the time considered a triumph of diplomacy.

    • Christine says:

      Kaiser making a post tripping down memory lane yesterday… there could not have been a better moment.

  31. BQM says:

    They should be more concerned with their Gulf buddies and South Africa (a commonwealth nation) . SA and the UAE annd Saudi Arabia are in, or wanting to join BRICS. (The EU competing organization made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.)

  32. ClaireLacombe says:

    I feel like I’ve lost IQ points just skimming through that article. Although I do admit the bit about Chinese and Russian propaganda made me chuckle. But a big fat F for geography for both people who wrote that absolute drivel: W and K visited Jamaica and BELIZE on their colonialism cosplay tour in 2022, not Benin which is a country in Africa. I know they like to fly around the world, but even for them combining those two visits would be a bit much.

    • kirk says:

      ClaireLacombe – Good catch! Wasn’t even going to read The Hill article after recognizing the duo right wing nut jobs byline.
      “At the time, William and Catherine’s trip to Jamaica and Benin was widely thought a disaster, but unfairly so.” Hard to believe ANY American would get so exercised about poor, poor Willy & Kitty, even a right wing nut job. Dictated by brits?

  33. Over it says:

    All these hit pieces tell me is that Harry and Meghan were so good at this and wank and buttons aren’t . Wank is so incandescent with rage because everyone still likes Harry and Meghan more. Stay mad
    One love

  34. OnThisDay says:

    Well, The Hill is really saying the quiet parts out loud. The Commonwealth isn’t just a “community” of firmer colonies and nations looking to come together in common purpose, heh?
    No, it’s a neocolonialist program that allows the UK to continue to exert undue influence and reap unjust rewards.
    If Harry and Meghan are undermining that (how do, idiots?) then all the better for them and us!

  35. Ace says:

    It’s silly but I hadn’t actually thought about the fact that H&M were basically let go from their job by a bunch of people that actually answers to the UK government. Or at least they should. Because if the Crown really works for the UK, the Sussexes were working for the government by working for the Crown; but instead whatever random courtiers decided that there was no option but to get rid of them completely are the ones who pretty much made a decision that should have belonged to the UK Government.

    I guess Edward Young was more powerful that the UK PM when it comes down to it. Maybe the UK should worry about that instead of whatever Harry and Meghan decide to do.

  36. Lau says:

    They think the Flop Tour was the OG flop because of “Russian and Chinese disinformation campaigns” ? That’s cute.

    • Jk says:

      Oooohhhh, is that what they meant? I really don’t follow their “thought process” with the China, Russia thing. Too ridiculous.

  37. Debbie says:

    Heaven knows there are enough right-wing loons in the U.S., but I have the impression that this article was written by a British person. It contained foreign phrases like “out of pocket” and references to Whitehall and the Falklands, which are not typical in this country, unless this was not a reference to Capitol Hill and “The Hill” is also the name of a British paper.

    • Mary Pester says:

      What the actual fk is this. Had the idiots who wrote this either one, run out of their medication the day before, two drink gallons of the brf cool aid, three suffer from some kind of mass hysteria, or four take a nice back hander from the likes of Morgan and Clarkson but get soo tangled up in their own mind fk that they posted without proof reading.
      So brexit, the war in Europe, the nutters being elected to power in different countries, the thrust from China at Taiwan, Iran, the Houti rebel attacks on shipping, Israel at war in gazza, they are all just a storm in a tea cup, the REAL threat to World peace The real threat to democracy and the downfall of the house of pathetic Windsor, are all down to a happily married couple going to see a movie called one LOVE, good christ just imagine how bad the Armegedon would have been if they had been to see Barbie!!

      • Saucy&Sassy says:

        Mary Pester, OMG, you’re right! I’m sure if they had been at the Barbie premiere, it would be said that they’re trying to take down all democracies.

        If there are really people who will read this and believe it, they are in worse straits than anyone thought. I seriously doubt that the MAGA crowd would understand most of this. Or care. They’re too busy being enraged with Meghan’s dress, which is really more their lane.

    • kirk says:

      Debbie – How many Americans even know the significance of Whitehall? Yet it got two (2) mentions in the unhinged piece. The last time anyone in the US gave a thought to Thatcher’s 42-year old undeclared war was when Prince Andrew brought up the Falklands in his trainwreck interview by BBC’s Emily Maitlis. Other than that the only American to ever really care about the Falklands was when Bill O’Reilly (remember him?) tried to claim victory ten years ago in an argument about the war’s coverage.

  38. tamsin says:

    I don’t read this publication because it is unbalanced right wing, but in this piece it has descended into moronic lunacy. It is very British though, so they hire British writers to write the American view of British news?

  39. Scorpiomoon says:

    The more the media blathers on about how evil these two are, the more it: 1. Substantiates everything Meghan and Harry have said; 2. Makes the BRF look petty, weak, and desperate; 3. Makes it clear that they really would have stopped at nothing to destroy Meghan, and that Harry was right to take a stand and try to protect her.

    This woman can’t even be publicly photographed outside anymore without it sparking 100 hateful thinkpieces. It’s so vicious and so obviously intended to attack her. All it would take is one missing security officer and a psycho British nationalist and this woman would have likely been the victim of violence in the UK, bc of how desperately they are always trying to stoke this fire.

    And the kicker is, what great crime did she commit to “earn” this? They essentially ignore and have buried so much of what is happening with Andrew, the known rapist down with human trafficking, but Meghan is public enemy number one because she’s Black … and married a white prince who was meant to be the fall guy for his brother … and because she’s naturally better at public speaking that either Kate or Prince Peggy? Gimme a break. Kate and Pegs are just mad no one thinks they’re charismatic, glamorous, or buys their “love story,” and in true spoiled brat manner, Pegs is real salty about it.

    Thorazine. Jabbed straight in the buttocks is the only answer to this frothing person.

  41. Jaded says:

    The Hill has gone totally right wing since Jimmy Finkelstein took ownership of it. He rubs shoulders with Trump, Giuliani, and other right-wing nutbar conspiracy theorists so it’s no surprise they’ve published this load of horsesh*t. Maybe they should take a close look at the massive amount of investment in the UK by the Saudis and Russians, therein lies the truth.

    • Proud Mary says:

      I believe that when the British public wake up one day, they will come to realize that the Russians sponsored Brexit. That some of the greatest proponent of one of the greatest mistakes in world history, has Putin’s money in their pockets.

    • Tede says:

      Russian money saved england. Thats why they took it in the first place. Instead of being reasonable england wanted high prices. They sold tons to russia. They knew who they were doing business with. Thats why they created home/business/land ownership shell company loopholes.

      Just like with saudi arbia. The english went to them for money. Basically begging for investments. Then belittle them.

      The english need to learn to spend their own money, to work their own lands. I believe brexit was more of an inhouse job. Enhlish media moguls/billionaires funded it. Its just not going as planned.

  42. CM says:

    So are the Sussexes irrelevant and no one cares about them or are they the only ones anyone ever cares about? It’s exhausting how the “royal experts” keep flip flopping –
    but so happy to see H&M are going about their lives – they look gorgeous and so happy

  43. Saucy&Sassy says:

    It seems to me that a right-wing media outlet would be more interested in reminding the public that the FBI wants to talk to Prince Andrew.

    Interesting that they’ve decided to jump into the fiction lane, when there’s something staring them in the face that is true and should be reported.

  44. Cee says:

    Oh man, I wish they’d come to Argentina! She’s lived here before and he has friends here, too.

  45. J.Ferber says:

    I don’t understand how the Prince and Duchess are propagating Chinese and Russian propaganda????? How? Why? Whaaaaaat?

  46. QuiteContrary says:

    The article reads like MadLibs, as completed by a conservative college student who thinks Ben Shapiro is a great intellectual and dreams of interning at the Heritage Foundation.

  47. bisynaptic says:

    WTAF

  48. Tede says:

    I believe they need to sue over the “threat to national security and democracy” lines.
    1. England isnt a democracy.
    2. This incites hate.
    With the war going on in gazza there is a strong push to keep everything in england “the same”. These reporters are putting h&m in real danger! Harry really does need security. If the english wont reign in their journalist then Harry should get free protection.
    It just makes sense. They blame him for everything. If he was a regular person he could ask for a cop car outside his house due to this article!

    • tamsin says:

      I agree this is a security problem for Harry and Meghan. This type of article incites hate against the Sussexes and creates a security problem. This is the use of stochastic terrorism on the part of the BM- a page out of the MAGA playbook. The Windsors and their advisors are stupid in their jealousy and pettiness. They are vile enough to wish physical harm to the Sussexes?

  49. monlette says:

    “At the time, William and Catherine’s trip to Jamaica and Benin was widely thought a disaster, but unfairly so. Russian and Chinese disinformation campaigns to subvert the Commonwealth and the UK’s remaining realms had long been underway. The two simply ran into a buzzsaw not of their making.”

    *Blinks audibly*

    Well, ok. If that’s what you want to call having a staff of all-white advisors getting you all dressed up like racists in an Agatha Christie novel for some Imperialist cosplay in a place were you were told pointblank you were not welcome, in commemoration of your Grandmother’s colonial days, then sure.

    But hey. They posed with a cardboard cutout of Bob Marley. It’s not like there was a real Marley to pose with.

    *Harry and Meghan pose with Ziggy Marley.*

    Well damn.

  50. Kay says:

    Angela Levin; yeuch: According to her Meghan was overdressed and Harry threw a strip about their seats. They weren’t nice to the public who booed them. And so the trolling goes on no wonder they don’t bring the children into the public gaze. Can you imagine what all this press trolling would do to the children. They have already dragged Lillibets name through the mud The British press are getting more deranged as time goes on. I will not even go onto twitter now as the hate has become so vitriolic.

  51. Wendy says:

    If you go to Meghan Markle’s Instagram page, she ( they or whoever runs it ) keep promoting the New Bob Marley Movie ” One Love” or at least the premier ( where H&M are shaking everyone’s hand including the prime minister ). Its hilarious because I think her page is trolling the BM.. LOL
