The Sussexes ‘released their most recent portraits to humiliate the royal family’

Misan Harriman released two portraits of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Monday. It’s been more than forty hours of crying and bleating from the British media ever since. The portraits were done in Manchester, on September 6th, either just before or just after Meghan made her keynote address to the One Young World summit. The photos happened just days before Queen Elizabeth II passed away, and I sort of believe that the original plan was probably for Harriman to release his photos within a week or two of the One Young World summit, but the funeral and mourning period changed everyone’s plans. As it happened, the Sussexes’ portraits came out just two days after Buckingham Palace posted a new portrait of King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales. They were all dressed in mourning clothes (it was taken the day before QEII’s funeral) and they all looked smug and happy. It was supposed to be “the new Fab Four,” we were told repeatedly. More like the Drab Four, especially seeing Misan Harriman’s lovely photos.

Anyway, in the wake of Harriman’s photos, the British media predictably fell ass-first into a toxic cycle of screaming, crying and throwing up about the Sussexes. Body-language experts were called and they dutifully parroted the Mail’s talking points about how sad and weak Harry looked with a smile on his face and his hand on his wife’s ass. Royal commentators were called to froth at the mouth about how the pure evil on display in the portraits too:

Biographer Tom Bower — who wrote “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors” — told Page Six in an exclusive interview that he “absolutely” believes the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released their most recent portraits to humiliate the royal family.

“It was all about, we’re back now on course to build Brand Meghan and the book, the Netflix series, the podcast,” he told us. “Everything is money. And to their advantage, they were in the public eye for seven days during the funeral or more, every day they were filmed.”

Bower further compared it to their appearances months earlier during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations where the couple was barely seen.

“They were shuffled off to a window upstairs and hardly seen,” he said contrasting it to Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, where “they were center stage.”

“You know, she has really got one interest,” Bower added, “and that’s Meghan and the casualties are the royal family and as far as she’s concerned, that’s terrific.”

[From Page Six]

Imagine your existence, as portrayed in two lovely photos, “humiliating” a whole-ass royal family. That’s what it comes down to – Harry and Meghan’s existence and their ability to survive AND thrive is a slap in the face to the monarchy. HOW DARE THEY!

Also: you can tell the Mail is still really bothered by Harriman’s photos because one of their top stories today is about how one of the photos is reminiscent of a photo of Wallis Simpson. That is… all they have. “Meghan is another Wallis!” *sob*

    I here to say that H&M’s pictures are 🔥🔥🔥

    • MakeEverydayCount says:

      They FEAR Meghan. No other word can describe the British Media and Royal Family but FEAR of Meghan.

      • Jais says:

        Megphobia is apparently a real thing in the UK. Weaning oneself off tabloids and morning shows might help alleviate symptoms.

      • Lurker25 says:

        I think you’re 💯 right @makeeverydaycount. They fear her. In a hereditary system based on bloodlines and breeding, a winner take all structure that favors the oldest son… This female descendant of slaves was chosen over his royal heritage by a prince. Wallis-fear reverberates even now, almost 100 years later bc she got a king to abdicate the throne. Harry is ” merely the spare”.
        But on the scale that these people use to measure social worth (which is the only scale they use for worth), Meghan is the one who counts for nothing (black divorced etc) but who proves, again and again and again and again and again and again, that those scales are worthless bullshit. She has out-princessed the chosen one by every metric- style, poise, speeches, Grace under pressure, connecting to people on walkabouts, delivering ravishing photos, birthing adorable children, and finding ways to actually help people again and again and again and again.
        It must be infuriating. They’ve invested so much in propping up the system yet she so casually shows that it’s bullshit. Cue the tantrums. Cue the “Meghan is out to tear down the monarchy!” articles. It’s true – every photo of her, every podcast, every person she helps is yet another crack in the foundations of hereditary monarchy. And she called it out subtly in The Cut article about how her existence was problematic. It was a message – IYKYK. I finally know why you’re afraid of about me. And I’m not going to stop being myself.
        They are terrified.

    • TurquoiseGem says:

      Yes, they are heat and fire..! Beautiful photos by Misan!

      • SugarHere says:

        If it takes a couple of Sussex photos to make Charles dejected, humiliated and despondent, I wonder how he’ll feel when Henry and Meghan blame it on Covid or indigestion to decline attending his profligate self-congratulatory coronation ceremonies, especially after Archie and Lilibet are stripped of their rightful titles. Chunky-3gers had better prepare to the likeliness of a sorry-ass slimmed-down coronation dinner with tiara saucers and an egg shell attending.

    • MakeEverydayCount says:

      @Lurker25: Well stated! I would only add to your brilliant synopsis that it was the statement from the late Queen and the response from Meghan/Harry that affirmed the FEAR
      Late Queen: “it is not possible” for the Sussexes “to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service”
      Meghan/Harry response: “Service is Universal”
      Basically Meghan/Harry said anyone can provide service. Service isn’t unique to the British Royal Family. Seriously, they hit to the heart of how the British Royals have convinced the British Public to pay them millions yearly and allow them to live a life of unimaginable privilege. Remember the late Queen and now Charles dedicated their lives to service (for a price.) Now Meghan/Harry are saying you can provide service, but you can also work and earn your livelihood vs living off the people. Oh yes, they fear her like no other.

  2. Flowerlake says:

    They humiliate them because they look more beautiful.

    • Swaz says:

      Why do I feel that since the queen died the daily fail has been spewing more venom at Meghan and Harry😳 have they been working for Charles and Camilla all along 😳.

      • Beach Dreams says:

        The entire British media has become even more terrible, if possible. It really does seem like for all that she didn’t do to actually help the Sussexes, Elizabeth’s presence seemed to somewhat temper the British media’s attacks. That’s insane when you think of everything these people have done and said for the past 5-6 years.

      • Christine says:

        I agree, Beach Dreams. I think it has become crystal clear that the queen was providing a layer of protection, within the family, however truly insignificant we might all think. It’s gotten a lot worse since she died, and I thought that would be impossible.

      • anne says:

        They are all frothing at the mouth because they know that attacking H&M gets more clicks than boring stories about the boring Fab Four. I think it’s really that simple.

    • Lorelei says:

      I feel like “humiliate” is such an odd word choice here? I would’ve guessed they’d say the Sussexes “overshadowed” them or “pulled focus” or one of their usual gripes. How is it “humiliating?” These people, JFC

      • aftershocks says:

        It’s just completely insane projecting. The rota fools are spouting and spewing and stewing in their own deserved karma juice consequences. LOL! 😜 Humiliating for the vile perpetrators, indeed!

        Meanwhile, M&H are thousands of miles away in another country, on a vastly different and more elevated stratosphere, simply living their lives and giving us gorgeous inspiration for days. M&H give us depth, breath and breadth, while taking our breaths away! Sigh … What a feat! Mucho kudos to Misan Harriman too! 👏 🌟

      • Sarah says:

        It is weird! Other people releasing nice photos of themselves does not have any impact on me. The idea that you would find a lovely photo of someone else “humiliating” is bizarre.

      • Lionel says:

        My thought exactly! If a photo of two entirely different people doing their own thing “humiliates” you, you’ve got bigger fish to fry. While I agree that the BM have ramped up their attacks in recent weeks, I also feel like some of the attacks have shifted in tone and now serve to empower H&M. Imagine having the power to “humiliate” the BRF just by existing! Sounds like winning to me.

      • Liz Version 700k says:

        Humiliate is a tell. That is what Chuck the Turd spent 5 years trying to do to H&M. The entire point of the uniform silliness was to humiliate. That is their end goal.

      • KATHLEEN WILLIAMS says:

        Aren’t they overlooking the fact that Harry and Meghan did not issue these photos? Misan Harriman issued these photos on HIS instagram page. Clearly the tabloids have been monitoring his IG pages for news and photos of the Sussexes that they knew he had and this time they struck pay dirt. They then plastered the photos all over their front page, giving them pre eminence over the Drab Four and blaming Meghan and Harry for the release and for humiliating the RF. Typical,

  3. Josephine says:

    I’m still disturbed by the gruesome four grinning like hyenas after the death of the woman they supposedly loved. Camille’s eyes are twinkling, she just looks giddy. I don’t understand taking the pic while the 4 were very clearly in their mourning outfits. They should have waited a month and had them tone down the maniacal grins.

    • Anita says:

      Yes. Terrible all around, just hideous.

    • equality says:

      Yeah, they could have held off with that, especially since they will probably do the direct line picture like the Queen did around Christmas last year with her, PC, PW and PG.

    • NotSoSocialB says:

      All four of them look like the cat that swallowed the canary. Seriously, I cannot recall PWT smiling in such a relaxed fashion since maybe their wedding. Grotesque.

    • kelleybelle says:

      And apparently royals are allowed to put their hands in their pockets now? Done to hide the hideous sausage fingers I’m sure. But they lost their shit when Meghan did it.

      • thandieLand says:

        this is exactly why he, De Turd, is touching COWMILLA on her back (hug ?) and stuck his other hand in his pocket….hiding them sausage fingers.

  4. Colby says:

    Drab Four *chefs kiss*

  5. Becks1 says:

    these people are so fragile and salty, my god.

    • Persephone says:

      As someone said in a comment above, they FEAR Meghan.

      • MipMip says:

        As Diana said:

        “I think every strong woman in history has had to walk down a similar path, and I think it’s the strength that causes the confusion and the fear.

        ‘Why is she strong? Where does she get it from? Where is she taking it? Where is she going to use it? Why do the public still support her? When I say public, you go and do an engagement and there’s a great many people there.”

        They still don’t understand and it’s killing them.

    • ShazBot says:

      Tom Bower is doing the royal family ZERO favours – they need to shut him up immediately my gosh.

      • KATHLEEN WILLIAMS says:

        How could one woman take down a 1000 year old institution? That whole premise is insanity.

      • Isabella says:

        Reporters have made zillions on this couple. They are a godsend. But it’s Meghan and Harry who are greedy. And it was so fun for them to be shunned at the funeral.
        “Everything is money. And to their advantage, they were in the public eye for seven days during the funeral or more, every day they were filmed.”

  6. Mooney says:

    So they are humiliated? That’s a job well done Harry, Meghan and of course, Misan ❤️

  7. ThatNotOkay says:

    Go with it, Meghan. Don’t fight it. Build your brand. Be seen out and about EVERY day. Build your Empire…one that will long endure after the British one crumbles to smithereens this decade, lol!

  8. ABritGuest says:

    They sure portray the brf as weak if a mere photo can humiliate it. Royal commentators are not ok

  9. hangonamin says:

    These pics are so good. Honestly Meghan makes the pics tho. Can tell she’s the photogenic one that can pose the best with her actress background.
    TBH comparing the two pics are kind of comparing apples and oranges. They’re very different styles. One is screams formal portrait you take at an event like a wedding with your family, and the other is more artistic (black and white background, stylized take with more close up). Will say Kate looks the best in the other formal portrait. She’s also very photogenic.

    • equality says:

      Kate’s best shot was the photoshopped, stare-at-the-camera (big no-no if Meghan looks at a camera) pictures of her at Phil’s funeral. Meghan can’t make her own life all about her but Kate can make Phil’s funeral all about her with her “peacemaking” and best-dressed photo.

      • hangonamin says:

        yes, let’s keep pitting these women against one another…because only one can come out on top right?
        ironically, “equality”, it’s ok to compliment both women.

      • equality says:

        How is stating the truth about Kate’s behavior and PR around Phil’s funeral pitting her against Meghan? I think that she and the RF in general have done the “pitting”. So why don’t you “hangonamin”?

      • hangonamin says:

        I complimented both woman and said they both looked good.
        You followed up with “facts” that Kate’s best look is at a funeral where her face is covered and that is photoshopped anyways…u don’t see the pitting there? the fact that both women can’t get a compliment in the same sentence without a required response by someone to make one of them inferior?

      • equality says:

        As I said, the BM with help from the RF in “leaking” perfect Kate vs “damaged” Meghan (what KP is still pushing) is what “pitted the women against each other”. If the results are unpalatable to you, go complain on any tabloid site putting out that line and on KP’s own SM that allows comments to stand without rebuttal or reporting that pit “perfect, classy” Kate against Meghan. Instead you are on here “side-eying” H&M in other posts for MAYBE spending their own earned money on real estate. And, FYI, I actually do think Kate’s picture at Phil’s funeral was well done and actually like the veil (which does not cover her face), just tasteless in the timing.

      • Nic919 says:

        Kate isn’t photogenic without loads of photoshop. So can you really be considered photogenic when massive editing is required?

        The photo from Philip’s funeral wasn’t an example of being photogenic so much as posing and good editing by Chris Jackson.

      • hangonamin says:

        Yes sink down to the tabloids level. I don’t need to go to the DM or any of the British media while people here are doling out the same thing. I stand by my comments that both ladies looked great. I’m not about to compare them or shame any one of them. They were both on their A game and looked professional and powerful. And love that you spend enough time to comb thru the comments. Good to know my side eye was noticed.

  10. equality says:

    So another spin with Meghan as arch-villain and PH is just being dragged along for the ride? Misogynist much? These people are tiresome. How is doing One Young World being all about Meghan? These royalists kill me with claiming H&M are all about making money. Is TB giving his book away and doing appearances for free? Are the royals giving away their money and palaces, refusing gifts and giving back crown jewels, and doing their charity “work” for nothing? All the Meghan-haters are making money on YouTube and interviews and public appearances but H&M should never make money off of their own story?

    • Lady D says:

      I have never seen anyone who is being dragged along look so delighted with his life. Meghan must not be doing it right, lol.

    • Carty says:

      No kidding, it’s like they think they will be broke. Meghan could do her own skin care line tomorrow and make millions. They will never be poor.

  11. JJ McClay says:

    Meghan looks so stunning in that photo. Maybe one of the best pics of her ever. She looks regal and powerful. And that’s obviously their problem — can’t have a Black woman looking regal and powerful.

    • Anita says:

      And not only that. She looks stunning and Harry looks like a cat that ate the canary, that he gets to hold her.
      They can not hide their happiness that the photo exudes. I love it!

      • molly says:

        They’re mad at it because it’s a really striking photo that every outlet will run front and center. Love them or hate them, it’s a fantastic picture. (Props to Misan!)

        I don’t think anyone would gotten all spun up if they released your average “we did a round table/we talked at a charity” follow up photo like usual. But because H&M look powerful, happy, successful, relevant, and like straight up models, UK press has no choice but to seethe.

  12. Ceej says:

    His smile in every picture with her is amazing. It just says to the photographer “I KNOW. AND SHE MARRIED ME. IM A LUCKY BIT**” every single time. I just want more photos so I can revel in how thrilled he is.

    Also eye roll that years later the RR and BM and RF still cannot see Harry as his own entity. Maybe that’s why he left guys. Because you can’t give him any credit that maybe he’s his own person living his own ambitions and not just Mr. Meghan or William’s little brother.

    • Anna says:

      Exactly. “Look! Just look at my wife, man!!!” It must blow Will&Chuck’s minds that you can be proud of your wife, not resentful and jealous.

      • Snuffles says:

        You got me thinking. The BM are so used to the heirs being jealous of their wives getting attention that they think creating the impression that Meghan is outshining Harry will activate the jealous Windsor gene and cause problems in their marriage.

        But the reality is Harry is practically screaming “Look at my smoking hot, intelligent, hard working and compassionate wife! Can you believe how lucky I am to score such a babe!? Just LOOK at her! Actually, stop looking so hard. She’s MINE and don’t you forget it!”

  13. Amy Bee says:

    I thought Harry and Meghan were irrelevant so how is releasing a photo humiliating to the Royal Family? What Bower really means is Harry and Meghan’s photo was better than the Royal Family’s and it made look them old and drab.

    • Christine says:

      This is the point I keep circling around. The mere fact that they are all squawking about a photo that is a month old at this point disproves their rabid insistence that England has the real “fab four”. This is so pathetic, and they just don’t see it, somehow.

    • Isabella says:

      It is so funny. The reporters are admitting that H&M are more glamorous. Evidently, the royals think the same thing and somehow consider the competition unfair, with all their jewels and handlers and servants.

      If the royals were smart, they would just ignore the photo.

  14. Eurydice says:

    Every scream is a sign of success.

  15. Snuffles says:

    ““It was all about, we’re back now on course”

    So? The royal family is back to business as usual. Why can’t Harry and Meghan do the same? We’re you hoping they would disappear for a while so the Drab Four is the focus?

    “to build Brand Meghan and the book, the Netflix series, the podcast,”

    Actually, it’s the Archewell brand. And, again, why is it OK for the royals and not Archewell?

    “Everything is money. And to their advantage, they were in the public eye for seven days during the funeral or more, every day they were filmed.”

    First of all, it’s the BM that made it all about the Sussex’s. Secondly, do you expect them not to earn money to support themselves? Oh, right. They are supposed to do nothing until the money runs out so they will come crawling back begging.

    • Harper says:

      Bower’s head is scheduled to explode in the next month or two because now with Betty gone the Sussexes are truly truly more free from those rats than they ever have been. They have zero, zilch, nada, blank, no obligation to any of them and never have to go back to the UK for anything if they choose not to. And, with all their podcasts, books, awards, honors, speaking engagements we will be seeing them and Meghan’s fierce fashions on a regular basis. Meanwhile, Bower, who announced loud and clear to the universe that he was there to take H&M down, can sit at home in his easy chair wondering how karma will come for him.

      • thandieLand says:

        I can’t wait for the explosion! Not only for this dipshit! But all of the BM and the RR!

        I only wish Diana could have seen and benefited from the worldwide support she had too. She would still be alive if she had. She would not have needed to marry or be with any man to ensure her security financial and otherwise. She could have created her own empire- written her memoir- the revenues from that alone would have been tremendous. She could have been able to hire her own fleet of body guards; buy her own yacht; fleet of armoured car/private jet etc.

        So that Harry knows and that Meghan showed him to translate that into revenue. Due his treatment, He probably is only now seriously considering that the Firm could have been directly involved in the car crash.

    • Lizzie says:

      “Everything is money…. ” Like shopping bags of cash the (now) King accepted?

  16. Layla says:

    If a well shot photo is all it takes to humiliate you, we’ll then you didn’t really have much to start with
    Also why is an OLD MAN crying about a successful young couple. Your book wasn’t successful, STFU

    • Layla says:

      Also, speaking of the drab four if you zoom into william’s left foot (the one next to Charles) you can see a bit of odd discolouration that doesn’t match the goldpattern of the rest of the railing, which proves (I can’t remember if it was @becks1 or someone else who brought this point up) that William and Kate were photoshopped in

      • Becks1 says:

        Someone else pointed that out before me but to me its like Kate’s wiglet. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

      • TigerMcQueen says:

        Also, Will’s feet are behind King Snarls’s feet, but his shoulders are in front. I’m not a conspiracy person at all, but it def looks like some photoshop shenanigans were going on with that pic. And, yup, I can’t unsee it.

      • Jaded says:

        I totally believe Willnot, and possibly both The Wails, were p-shopped in, in a very unprofessional way.

      • Lizzie says:

        I think just William was photoshopped in. It explains why Kate has her hand on the rail ‘behind’ him. I think he left early. Meeting someone?

  17. girl_ninja says:

    More and more I love that the portraits where released. Let them cry because nothing that the Sussex’s do will stop the crying. They won’t survive without Meghan and Harry, they have shown this. They are such a miserable rotten lot. Stay hating bums. 🤣🤣🤣

  18. Side Eye says:

    So the pics exist to humiliate the RF? I wish! That would be kind of awesome. If only H&M were as petty as me. I’d release pics every time they do anything. I’d have glamour shots on standby. Glamour shots taken at the mall. Photo booths. Professional shots taken by Vogue photographers. Acrylic paintings and oil on canvas. Water colors. Selfies. But then again I can be mean when people have been mean to me.

    Meghan is a better person than me. I’d wake up in the morning and think of new ways to torture them.

    Meghan is so flipping gorgeous. She has one of the most beautiful faces in the world IMO.

    • Lorelei says:

      @SideEye, I think you and I would get along swimmingly IRL 😂

    • Liz Version 700k says:

      Hahaha Side Eye I love this plan!

      • SIde Eye says:

        @Liz Version @Jaded and @Layla – I agree with all of you! I love that they are tortured by their existence as well Jaded. You know what else I’d do @Layla – I’d wait for them to release their Christmas card and release mine the next day. I’d find all kinds of ways to troll them and they deserve it!

    • Jaded says:

      Just the mere fact of Meghan and Harry existing and thriving is torture for the Wails and King Chuck/QC Cowmilla. That gives me great pleasure.

    • Layla says:

      @side eye I mean it makes perfect sense. The copykeens choose to be petty by stepping out every time the sussexes have a birthday or are scheduled to make appearances. Not to meantion the insane amount of copykeening in terms of dressing like them. Count me in

    • Tan says:

      I want in on this plan

  19. Talie says:

    The photo of the the new Fab Four does look old-fashioned. They are in mourning clothes in a gold room in front of a hundreds-years old portrait to make some kind of point about continuity. H&M look like a modern power couple. That is what is upsetting to the establishment. They know the Misan picture is a better move to project power and glamour.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if William and Kate or, more likely, Charles and Camilla copy it soon. I remember Charles did the same thing when Harry’s engagement photos came out – even used the same photog.

    • TurquoiseGem says:

      @Talie…agreed!

      Meghan and Harry look modern, fresh and of-the-moment. Poised, regal and powerful, too.

      And ooh the heat and chemistry between them. Just so, so gorgeous!

      The photo of the four looks dated and drab already. Not at all flattering…

    • JD says:

      Agree. Both capture “power” — one is of ridiculously wealthy people who have never worked smiling that they get even more goodies now that the matriarch is dead. Grinning broadly and she isn’t even in the ground yet. And the other is youth and beauty and genuine happiness and love but also the power that comes from helping others succeed at One Young World and all of the rest of the ways they focus on others. That dichotomy is what freaks the naysayers out. Service is universal!!

  20. Lizzie says:

    Such complete nonsense, obviously the ‘writers’ just need a new and hateful way everyday to write about the Sussex’s to get clicks. Illogical drivel though it may be, H&M in the headline and a pic are all they need. We’ll see how long Kkkate’s yellow dress stays at the top of the page or if they ever feature Bill and his speech (I haven’t seen it yet but I only scroll down so far).

  21. Ginger says:

    It really bothers the press that Harry and Meghan are happy and in love. Will and Kate look so cold and detached. Also, why are they not talking about the very obvious photoshop of William? He is clearly photoshopped in the picture. That should be the story.

  22. K says:

    If they feel humiliated, that is on them.

    • Anna says:

      In first episode of her podcast Meg said that according to her husband’s family, their mere existence is a threat to the monarchy. Now they’ve added humiliation. I can’t understand how someone could threaten or humiliate me by posting their photo that is not related to myself.

    • Liz Version 700k says:

      If pictures of H&M are humiliating I fear for how these folks would deal with real world setbacks like stepping in dog poo or tripping on the sidewalk. Heaven help them if they loose access to their gilded cages

  23. DefP says:

    I love the photos of Meghan and Harry. The first one- Meghan is in a power pose and I am here for it! Harry looks loving and supportive standing with her. She definitely draws the focus with the red and the stance, as she should since she was the one making a speech.
    Then the second one- Harry looks like he might be taking a bit more of a figurative lead because he’s standing slightly ahead. Overall they look like equals; Like a healthy. loving, supportive, confident couple. Yes, please.
    Yes, they absolutely outshine the drab four. How creepy their portrait is done the day before the funeral, but they look gleeful. Ick.

  24. Renae says:

    I hope they continue to use the Wallis Simpson/Meghan analogy. Say what you like, Wallis changed the BRF forever. They should thank her. She got a Nazi sympathizer king out of there.

    • Tessa says:

      Wallis is more like Camilla married mistress to prince of Wales only Camilla got all the marbles

  25. AllBlackEverything says:

    Meghan is looking like snack in those photos and Harry…well I’m not really into white dudes, especially ones with Targ style genes, but his comb over game is cute here. He is the best looking one out the bunch of Windsors which isn’t saying much because none of them are cute including his grandpaw in his prime but…I see it for Harry kind of.

    This couple doesn’t bother anyone. If people really wanted them to be irrelevant they would leave them the fuck alone and ignore them like most sane people do when they don’t like someone.

    But I suspect these two are money makers and college savings accounts for their detractors. They pay people’s bills without even blinking.

    I am here for it. Meghan and Harry don’t do anything for me personally like the Squad who, bless them, go all out for them. But I am here to support whoever is taking one for the team indirectly or directly to ensure that the BRF goes down in flames.

    The BRF and other Euro monarchs who were involved in crimes against my people, continue to eat off of our misery and pain. And I want to return that favor.

    Harry and Meghan tried to right some wrongs while in the context of being working royals by actually working and being there for the people who allowed them to eat well. It will never be enough but I se the effort.

    I respect them even more for walking away and realizing that them bitches don’t deserve to be saved.

    They are trying to live well but want to empower other people and I think truly want to right some wrongs to the best of their ability.

    I could never Stan for them but I pray that they stay safe and in love and in sync with one another and their little family has a happy life.

      This is so kind! Zero sarcasm, you are rooting for their continued happiness even though royalty is not your thing. If only more people had your attitude.

      You made me LOL with the ‘his comb over game is cute here” part. That’s Harry, making comb overs tolerable. He can die knowing he’s left a positive mark on the planet.

    I too would find it humiliating if I weren’t the best-looking person in my family if I weren’t the best-looking person in my family. 😉

  27. Malificent says:

    It’s interesting how they refer to these photos as “portraits” — as if they were snapped during a formal sitting rather than just on-the-fly backstage at a presentation. Which makes the reaction even funnier because the Sussexes are blowing the BRF out of the water with just minimal effort.

  28. Joanna says:

    Meghan looks great. I love how Harry is so supportive of her.

  29. Concern Fae says:

    I am kind of laughing at any of these pictures being called portraits. If the four weren’t all in black, it would look like something a wedding photographer who was told to get pictures of everyone snapped in a hotel hallway outside the reception.

    The pics of Harry and Meghan look like a good photographer shooting for Instagram. Far better than the others. The first one will end up being iconic, but more for the difference in their facial expressions. She’s serving lovely, he’s got something a bit earthier going on.

  30. Zut Alors says:

    Why are they so insecure?!

  31. Ciotog says:

    They seem to be trying to persistently denigrate Harry’s manhood to get him to leave Meghan. But Harry seems pretty damn secure in his masculinity.

    • Christine says:

      I’m not sure when all men are going to understand the fundamental fact that a man who is proud of his wife, and the fact that she chose him, is far sexier than anything toxic masculinity can come up with.

  32. Over it says:

    Don’t hate them cause they beautiful and hot Tom.

  33. CindyP says:

    The “Drab Four” need a better photographer. Their pics look like something someone took on their iPhone at a wedding

  34. Heather C says:

    The Sussexes were front and center at the funeral because the media put them front and center. Even at the walk about as the cameramen were told to pan toward the Wails, they couldn’t do that for long.

    It’s the media who is incessantly covering everything they do as some sort of slight toward the royal family.

    It’s not Harry and Meghan’s fault that Harry looks like a snack and Meghan looks like the whole goshdarn banquet, especially when compared to the “real” royals.

  35. Cessily says:

    Lol, the photographer, Missan, posted to his instagram these people think everything is about them. Just shows the Sussex’s are the center of their universe. Their bitter jealousy is showing for the world to see, especially since the funeral. Sure tell us again who is all about the money when they all wear stolen jewels from head to toe🙄.

  36. Vanessa says:

    This 100 percent jealousy that meghan and Harry picture is 10000 times better than the blandly oatmeal picture of newly minted four . The outrage of Royal Reporters is as always is unhinged there still can’t get over the fact that Meghan and Harry are gone they try their thriving and in love have send the usually haters over the edge . The British media thought that since the Sussex’s took a break for the mourning period that they will continue to do while the boring plainly royals would be on the front page of Everything.

  37. A says:

    Modernity, love and success (Sussexes) vs boring, white supremacy and incandescent jealousy (the rest of them). Yeah no comparison. Successful Sussexes always

  38. L4Frimaire says:

    Maybe the royals shouldn’t be releasing macabre photos grinning in funeral clothes to exhibit their leadership. The Sussexes just released a photo, put it out there, no further comment, and this is the overreaction? There is something seriously wrong with these people. That country really is going through a national malaise.

  39. PunkPrincessPhD says:

    This take has all the energy of Trump refusing to hang the Obamas’ portraits in the White House.

  40. QuiteContrary says:

    Said Meghan: “just by existing, we were upsetting the dynamic of the hierarchy.”

    They keep proving her to be right, over and over again.

  41. Well Wisher says:

    This is more of the same. There is a belief that goes as follows – ” if one writes disparaging about the Sussexes especially Meghan, there is gold in them hills”

    Money to be made.

    If not be as intimidating as possible to invoke the Sussexes mediocrity, predicated on the idea that they need the media for a well defined reputation.

    In actual fact, the money is in social media, which is flooded with recycled content, performative outrage simply cannot compete with inflationary pressures due to overproduction.

    I continue to be underwhelmed with the new slimmed down version of the…..

  42. jferber says:

    Let the BRF self-destruct if they must. Good riddance. They TRIED to humiliate Harry and Meghan with all the slings and arrows during the funeral period, but they stood tall and remained regal. They just ignored the noise of the racist fury and behaved like a gentleman and lady during a mourning period–exactly what they were. They did not throw them off their stride one IOTA. That is strength, toughness and devotion. NOW a damn photograph of a loving couple “humiliates” the RF? How? That despite all the slings and arrows, the Sussexes’ love, courage and goodness protected them like a shield? It’s a good day when the villains are humiliated for their inability to damage the hero and heroine of their own life story.

  43. Aud says:

    The BM recently published an article claiming that Harry looks absolutely miserable. They used FUNERAL PICTURES as proof of his misery. They said the rest of the family is much happier. They’re so close to the truth! Yes, Harry is one of the few who was actually sad about the queen’s death. William and Charles were relieved and excited.

  44. Bean says:

    She is just so gorgeous. And she GLOWS. Damn.

    • Zantasia says:

      She is breathtaking. I agree—she glows! She is so poised and confident. Just an amazing woman and role model.

  45. Beverley says:

    The ravishing biracial woman really has them in their feels. Must suck to be stupid wealthy, “anointed” by God, and still so flipping bland and drab. All the $$$ in the world can’t make them photogenic. Kkkhate must be so mad, her jowls are red and trembling.

    In another ten years, Kkkhate will be even more livid as she observes in real time what the expression “Black don’t crack” really means. Hang on to your plastic surgeon’s card, Princess of Wales. You’re gonna need it.

  46. Red Weather Tiger says:

    Meghan is extraordinarily beautiful. She and Harry beam in each other’s company, making them both even more attractive. The leftover dullards of Salty Isle cannot buy beauty, charisma, or happiness. Even if they sold all the tiaras, they would still be ugly, inside and out.

    The wiglet of mourning cries not only for the late queen.

    • Liz Version 700k says:

      She literally sparkles. She is naturally gorgeous and no amount of mud slinging g by the royals can dim it. I love that.

  47. Mcmmom says:

    Can we please stop suggesting where Harry’s hand is placed? That seems a little crass for a portrait and I think Harry is too much of a gentleman to do that. The photo is lovely and although the chemistry between the two of them is strong, I don’t think that they would ever be inappropriate. To suggest that they would feeds into the royal story that Megan is not appropriate and that’s simply not the case.

    • Christine says:

      Ummmm, no. Harry being absolutely over the moon into Meghan is everything. Hard pass. A man really being into his wife is HOT. See also: Willnot and Cannot.

      We already get the royals on Salty Isle aren’t interested in anything about these two. It doesn’t mean we can’t really love a man loving his wife. Even her butt.

  48. La Cienega says:

    Weren’t they screaming that the Drab4 picture was to make H&M jealous? Every finger they point at the Sussexes points right back to them.

  49. Robin Samuels says:

    British tabloid copied the image from the photographer’s IG page. They need the Sussex to sell issues because the new Fab Four doesn’t, despite what their fans believe. The anti-Sussex books, written for trolls, did not dim the Sussex glow. Who, by the way, went straight to the photos to post comments? They will never admit that they’re Sussex fans.
    In the words of the late Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, “Who’s Zooming Who?”

  50. blunt talker says:

    That Cut article with Meghan is proving something she said-Harry and Meghan’s existence upends the royal structure-the UK media and the royals themselves keep proving this is the case-a picture taken before the queen died-being released this week has the banshees screaming and tearing their hair out-that royal culture is truly evil and live in the stone age-god help them-I will say again-let them have peace to live their lives the Sussexes-the royal family back in the UK keep royaling and let the people keep fawning then everybody can live peacefully.

  51. sammi says:

    A new film of Wallis is being talked about with Kate Blanchet who is a William fan and does a podcast with him which no one looks at. The Madonna Wallis film was not promoted in UK and is probably more favourable and truthful about the whole slur campaign againgst Wallis to hide the truth about Kind Edward being the one wanting to quit . Sounds familiar?
