Seriously? What the hell? I have no further words!

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle slammed over deal with company selling skin-whitening cream

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are fending off backlash for a partnership they engaged in with a beauty care line that peddles skin-whitening creams – which many have raised their eyebrows at considering the pair are stout anti-racism advocates, reports said on Monday.

After the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced last week that they landed a deal with Procter & Gamble (P&G), the manufacturer of the popular and oft-controversial Olay line of skin management and lightening creams a former executive with the company criticized the move in an interview with The Mirror.

"Meghan has talked a lot about the issue of race and racism, so this does stick out like a sore thumb," Alex Malouf, a former Procter & Gamble executive, told the publication.

The "global partnership" with P&G was established to "build more compassionate communities," and according to the Daily Mail, the Olay brand currently sells the "White Radiance" moisturizer in India, Singapore and Malaysia...............

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Priceless.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

I picture Harry in a Zoot Suit with orange shoes, and a big orange feather in his fedora,and Megan in a micro-mini and see-through top with no bra.

I hadn’t thought too much therapy. I thought it was because he moved to La La land.

@sneakypete do they still make zoot suits?

Personally, what about a pimp type suit / tux from the 70s? That would be really funny.

But seriously, he’s breaking Grandma’s heart.

Good grief. P&G makes a heck of a lot more products than just Olay, and Olay makes a heck of a lot more products than lightening cream. Talk about triggering!

Embarrassing her,maybe,but not breaking her heart. She knows he is only related to her by marriage. Diana was a Ho.

One grandma died before I was born, the other one died a few days before I turned 19. I wish my grandma had been with us longer.

I guess I’m being protective of grandmas

Regarding Harry's paternity:

https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-harrys-real-father.html/

Quote
"Diana and James didn’t meet until two years after Prince Harry was born, as Harry was born in 1984. As James once told The Sunday Mirror, “When I first met Diana, Harry was already a toddler.” He added, “I can understand the interest, but Harry was already walking by the time my relationship with Diana began. Admittedly, the red hair is similar to mine, and people say we look alike.” However, “I have never encouraged these comparisons, and although I was with Diana for a long time, I must state once and for all that I’m not Harry’s father.”

This along with many public interviews by James Hewitt.  Harry has Charles' close set eyes.

I think you're right about breaking his Grandma's heart and probably his Grandpa's heart as well.  Obviously the relationship between he and his father is strained.  I think there is friction between both Markle and Harry between William and Kate.

To leave your country, your duties and your family and go to another country and absolutely trash your family is really in very poor taste.  I didn't watch the Oprah interview but  'news' sources reported that claims were made about racism.

I beg to differ; the wedding included many "black" celebrities along with some non-traditional black culture touches here and there. Markle made her statement about race then.

Also, who can forget the tribute that was paid to Aretha Franklin when she died by the Buckingham Palace Guards?  It surprised me, and my first thought was it showed class by the Brits, but in the back of my mind, was the tribute requested by Markle or done because of her ethnicity?  My thought now is she probably demanded some sort of tribute.

I can't help but wonder now if Harry married her because of her race to goad his family.

I actually have a copy of Princess Diana's ring which is now Kate's ring.  Because I have a copy, do I get a country to be their queen?

What do you mean by a copy?  As in a genuine large sapphire and all the diamonds?  If so, you are one lucky lady!  My favorite stone is the sapphire.

It's a shame, since the pandemic hit, we just don't go out anymore and I have a jewelry box full of nice jewelry that I don't get to wear anymore -- I enjoyed it though for years.

@libertybele

"Copy" means the stones are crystals - big blue crystal (the Sapphire); clear crystals (the diamonds).

Yes, like you, I have many real gold and real stones jewelry and I enjoyed wearing them.  I do wear two rings all the time, as I am used to wearing one on each hand and feel something is missing if I do not have a ring on each hand.  When we went to casinos, I would change rings each trip in order to wear them all.  We haven't been to a casino since February of last year, 2020.  I think we will go to one in a few months.  The closest one is about an hour away if driving the speed limit.  I'll make a point of wearing the Diana ring for that first trip back to that casino.

@libertybele

I think he married her because he is a wuss that needs a strong woman boss. I bet she spanks his weewee when he does or says something to upset her.

What he needs is a ball transplant. The bonus would be that she wouldn't want him anymore,making it a "twofer win".

@Victoria33 you are a very lucky lady to have a hubby that got you this. My birthstone is a sapphire. I have a pair of sapphire earring I received for my sweet sixteen. I’m also really fond of garnets.

I’d love to do the Skype thing. ❤️

I like rings too. I’m currently wearing four- right hand has an old ring I got from my aunt about four months before she passed. The other ring belonged to @To-Whose-Benefit? . He gave that to me before he passed. My left hand has my mom’s old wedding band. She got a very nice upgrade for her 25th anniversary.

I wore my alumni ring pre COVID, but I just haven’t worn any jewelry since. I should wear earrings again, the holes are closing up.


If you want to see jewelry that will blow your mind, see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London. Blew my mind. I especially liked Queen Victoria’s crown, it was so petite I thought it belonged to a child.

Princess Beatrice is pregnant

Quote

Princess Beatrice revealed that she is pregnant with her first child on the Sussexes' third wedding anniversary - after the couple angered the Yorks by announcing they were expecting at Princess Eugenie's wedding.

The Queen's granddaughter, 32, who tied the knot with the Italian property developer Edo Mapelli Mozzi in September 2020, are expecting the baby in autumn 2021, Buckingham Palace announced this morning.

The Queen and both families are said to be 'delighted' with the news, which will have brought much joy to the monarch who is mourning the loss of her husband Prince Philip, who died last month aged 99.

Princess Eugenie's baby will be the second grandchild for Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson and the Queen’s 12th great-grandchild following the arrival of Prince Harry and Meghan's Markle's second child in the summer.
