There hasn’t been much to smile about of late, with talk of the impending flu season, and Covid-19 and a new strain, but TIME magazine came through and gave us the biggest laugh today. They had named the duo as one of the 100 most influential people of the year, accompanied by the most awful photos that most people thought it was a joke. This was expected after their torturous TIME talks last year, that was heavily sponsored by P&G, so effectively they had ‘paid’ for this in kind.
Was this a gift for Harry’s birthday? Does anyone care? The RF social media accounts appeared to be a hurry to wish him a Happy Birthday and get it over and done with so that they could carry on with business. Quite notably, the messages were short, and KP simply used his birth title which is Prince Harry. Let’s hope that KP did that because the ducal title will be stripped soon. On Instagram, they all posted their message in the story slot, that disappears after 24 hours. If only the Sussexes would disappear within 24 hours…
On 13 September, Harry was a sort of co-host for the Warrior Games virtual event. The games were due to take place over 10 days, but were cancelled due to Covid-19 and the new variant that is circulating. Jill Biden, the FLOTUS hosted the event that was streamed live, and partially on Zoom. It wasn’t heavily promoted and is really only of interest to the competitors, their families and those in the military.
The viewing figures weren’t high, and Ken Fisher read out Harry’s CV which was cringeworthy. He included the setting up of Travalyst, an entity that no one understands the purpose of but the HMRC might be interested in, his role as a CHIMPO for Betterup, and of course the Archewell brand was mentioned promoted. Some Americans weren’t happy that a foreigner was hosting the event, while the other hosts praised Harry for stealing the idea from them and setting up the Invictus Games.
Harry’s contribution seemed, well, rather dull. However, what was the purpose? He needs some content for his Netflix documentary, and that’s why everyone was mentioning Invictus so that the footage could be used. It’s all rather sad, desperate, and contrived, but that’s the Sussexes for you. When Harry did make an appearance, he looked as if he was in the spare room with a net curtain and barely any light. Each time he makes an appearance on video, all we can do is laugh at him. We’ve had the kitchen cabinet, basement, a hostage wall, a corner by the vase, and now the spare room. If only they knew someone who has experience of lighting and filming – alas, they have been ghosted, and where are the Archewell production crew? Do they exist, or have they all resigned before any projects have begun? There is no excuse to be so ill-prepared when hosting a charitable event online.
The TIME cover was revealed about 1 p.m. in the UK, and the comments on the TIME social media platforms are brutal, but honest. It’s quite clear that many do not consider the duo to be influential, and many thought it was a spoof. The comments aren’t nasty, but are merely stating the facts that a couple who have made it their mission to attack the Royal Family with accusations and mistruths (which have proven to be case) are not role models and are not influential people.
José Andrés, the chef behind World Central Kitchen, wrote a gushing piece about them, or rather someone wrote it for him (TW) where he appears to try and mitgate the anticipated criticisms by stating:
In a world where everyone has an opinion about people they don’t know, the duke and duchess have compassion for the people they don’t know.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, and does he actually know the duo? A few emails and phone calls, or a photo taken with someone doesn’t mean you know them. We are entitled to have an opinion based on their behaviour as evidenced in videos and their actions. José Andrés should stick to cooking, and not lecture others on what we should think about the Sussexes. Many are disappointed in him as he has carried out many charitable acts, but fails to see that it is he that is being used.
As for compassion, they do compassion for clicks and PR. Others have quite rightly stated that they have no compassion for the people they do know. This is all about brand building, and those who are foolish enough to have fallen for their PR to gain their own publicity will discover the cost of trying to jump on a broken bandwagon.
The images that TIME has chosen to accompany the news has left us all in stitches, because the images look contrived, the bodies are out of proportion, look fake and photoshopped, and there has been an abundance of retouching. The cover (which you can buy a copy of!) depicts Harry cowering behind TW, while perched on a wall, as she stands in a boss like pose with her legs apart. Their faces look superimposed, like the cheap puppet masks you find in Poundland on a BOGOF. At least Harry appears to have bought a new suit!
The snowflake white outfit is so that she stands out, and perhaps the white is symobolic of her being the ultimate snowflake? Perhaps the black and white outfits are supposed to symbolize who is good and who is bad? The poses look fake because they are, and the perspective is all wrong. In fact a Thunderbird puppet looks more realistic, and has more integrity than the Sussex duo. If only International Rescue was real and could save humanity from the clutches of the toxic twosome…
I’m amused by the choice of image that TIME has chosen for the cover that is being pushed in their online shop, so perhaps TIME are having a laugh at them, or is TIME being run by inebriated idiots? They can try and ignore the public feedback and comments, but that won’t erase the truth. People across the globe despise them for their actions, and all that they represent. The masses mock them, and in turn they mock those who blindly support them, and who choose to ignore the truth.
The duo do not speak for anyone, nor do they represent anyone either. They arrogantly believe that they speak for the world – they do not, and never will, yet it is world domination that TW craves. She constantly seeks attention and wants to be admired and loved – didn’t Daddy love her enough, and where was Mommy?
They are private individuals cashing in on a gifted ducal title, spouting their rhetoric in an attempt to brainwash the simple minded folks, and manipulate others by claiming to be victims and gain support through sympathy. Their aim is to make money from this, and that is abhorrent. They are not influential – to the sane and rational beings that is.
For $20/£20, you can have your own copy of Harry and TW’s cover in a variety of mediums! Now if they were selling them as dartboards, or whoopee cushions then they may well have a market for those items…
