Usually these things are to raise $$ for the organization. |
Seems like a good enough cause. |
I still don’t get how they haven’t parlayed all their advantages to some kind of real success. What is the problem? |
His bragging in Spare about the number of Taliban kills he had put service members and veterans at risk. This new award publicity won't help. "Former head of the Royal Navy, Admiral Lord West, told the U.K. Sunday Mirror newspaper that Harry was putting the security of the Invictus Games—a sporting competition that spotlights wounded and injured veterans that was founded by Harry—into jeopardy, calling his publication of his wartime actions “very stupid.”" https://time.com/6245898/prince-harry-implications-killing-taliban-spare/ |
I certainly hope so, after the jokes that were made about them at the Golden Globes. |
He was a gunner, not the pilot, when he made those kills. So, #2 again. |
What were the jokes? |
“It turns out Harry and Meghan Markle were still getting paid millions of dollars for doing absolutely nothing – and that’s just by Netflix,” (Jo Koy) told the crowd, who laughed in response. The camera zoomed in on the streaming service’s CEO, Ted Sarandos, after he cracked the joke. Both Harry and Meghan were not present at the ceremony." Koy was addressing the Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan, which was released in December 2022 to mixed reviews, and saw the pair discuss their decision to step back as working members of the royal family. The comedian’s joke, branded “brutal” by viewers on social media, arrived after what is considered to have been a tumultuous year for the former royals, who faced several obstacles, both professionally and personally in 2023. While Harry’s memoir Spare became a bestseller, their other ventures did not prove so successful. After signing a lucrative three-year deal with music streaming platform Spotify in 2022, worth a reported £18m, it was announced less than one year later that their podcast, titled Archetypes, had been dropped. As part of the deal, the duo planned to host and produce numerous podcasts but Archetypes was not renewed for a second series and their deal was ended – with Spotify’s head of podcast innovation and monetisation Bill Simmons later calling the couple “grifters”." https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/jo-koy-jokes-harry-meghan-golden-globes-b2475389.html |
Actually kind of funny |
Yes, that one landed well because people think they deserve to be mocked. |
Cringey |
It’s hysterical. Although I did not watch the show. |
* Nor will I be watching Prince Harry receiving his award. Nothing in particular against him, but I’m not a big fan of awards shows. They are full of gluttony. |
Also, why do these two get awards for anything? What have they done?? |
So special. What humble, modest, people who avoid attention except when absolutely necessary. Imagine all the people who must've begged them to go |
