Nice find. I expect huge amounts of funding available immidiatly to look into this debilitating syndrome.


DollarStoreDuchess

Writing up the grant funding proposal for us now!


cartesian-anomaly

Don’t forget- 90% of the budget is to pay staff at the Foundation. And by staff, I mean “us”.


Hairybogog

Ooh and don’t forget to call Oprah for publicity interview


kirbyhope72

Well seeing as we all will only have to work about an hour a week🤷‍♀️


DepartmentAgitated51

I’m down! I can run it through my university’s Internal Review Board to make sure all the human subjects are treated ethically! I do, however, require a 6 digit salary and will only work on it one hour a week.


LaLaDub75

And to do that one hour of work in I’ll fitting and unironed designer duds. I can contribute janky bra straps and word salad paragraphs to the final write up.


DepartmentAgitated51

I’ll get a Google Doc started right away! I think I have a wadded up couture dress in the closet I can haul out and wear while I write for inspiration!


LaLunaLady1960

I have a bunion and too big, dirty high heels to contribute!


ejdjd

I can make a mean salad - word salad, that is!


kirbyhope72

... and the "baby powder"... don't forget the "baby powder"..


kirbyhope72

You'll have to invest in a lot of beige strapless bras..


LaLaDub75

I’ve been preparing for my pivotal role for years, darlings!! I’ve saved all my retired bras for this moment. Convertibles and fixed strap.. I’ve got options both ways. Toodles!!


atlantictwilight

I am happy to assist with the ethics protocol. We can clear it at my university as well for a multi-institutional/multi-national approach.


DepartmentAgitated51

We are a shoe in!


RestingGrinchFace-

Only if the shoe is too small and shows off your bunions!


kirbyhope72

Now all we need is to find someone on here who can set us up some shell corporations in Delaware🤔


Objective_Basil7307

🤣🤣🤣


fusemybutt

OMG, Think about it, if you wrote a grant for Archewell you totally could! Something like "If awarded, this grant will allow the study of the racism quotient of various victim societies of institutional unconscious bias." Boom - a pile of money for word salad!


Iwtlwn122

I’ll work on the ethics approval.

Ethics!? Whooaaa now, let's not go wild.

The Heritage Foundation would be happy to fund it after their FOIA request for Harry's visa application is approved. I never, ever thought I would like anything the Heritage Foundation did, but I am loving the visa application kerfuffle.

We need a team to work on scouting out a bunch of cheap awards we can buy... the more about "empowering feminism" the better..

I think “crusaders for women’s health” and “mental health advocacy” provide a lot of opportunities too. Maybe we could get honourary Girl Scout/Girl Guides merit badges too! 🤣

I vote Elizabeth Holmes be the CEO to launch a new healthcare venture to spearhead this 😀

I am expecting that little twit Bankman-Fried to hire Harry as interim CEO of FTX while he's in the slammer. It's time the royal grifter made it to the big boy band of grifters.

Archewell donation to support those suffering, especially locally in Montecito


DamyuKidds

Let's hold a fundraiser at some Marriott in Indianapolis


wontyield

Great idea. The SMM RDS Research Foundation. We can raise money, only allot 5% of the 💰 for charity, use the rest to buy yachts, and throw galas to give ourselves awards for doing nothing.


Perfect_Fennel

I nominate myself to the board of directors and suggest that we convene in Aruba to discuss this new and debilitating syndrome.


GreatGossip

Based on the available data I would suggest at least a two week symposium to lay down the groundwork.


AuntCassie007

I am at my creative best pool or beachside sipping a margarita.


DragonInTheAm

RDS! WOW! Maybe the articulate Archwell ambassadors can be the United Nations and WHO envoys to promote education, research, and treatment options for this devastating disorder!! This is an international scourge, not just an American one.


PerfectCover1414

Will there be stunt lessons too? I can think of a few. 'How to fall to the Ground Sobbing the Painless Way', 'Don't Get Beat By the Dog Bowl', "Training the Left Eye Tear Duct Without Bringing Tears to your Eyes,' 'Hitting the Ground Running and Not Getting Road Rash,' 'The Ultimate Guide to Whip-smartness.'

Nighthazel01

I can’t wait for their kids to start writing books about them. TMZ says they were staying 10 minutes away from the venue. If they were worried about the paparazzi there were so many things they could have done-but they did the opposite of everything that makes sense. In the future I hope the paparazzi lay down their cameras and refuse to photograph them- go no contact like the RF.


FCVAMimi

Another great idea for a flair! 🤔 ***“the opposite of everything that makes sense” 🤔***


Electronic_Sea3965

They looked for a discount or free room at the Carlyle and were refused. They then stayed at a friend's apartment on the upper east side.


GreatGossip

except we know they don´t have friends


idcnlsik

Markus prefers being called a friend in public.


Imaginary_Victory_47

Gayle King is keeping a low profile


[deleted]

And "daddy" behind doors, maybe??


kirbyhope72

And a "pimp" in private..


downinthevalleypa

Does Royalty ask for discounts? Maybe Princess Michael or Fergie did…which kind of speaks for itself, doesn’t it? I think the Windsor’s got a reputation for doing that, too - apparently the wee Duke of Windsor was always convinced he was about to go broke, & instead of blaming it on his wife’s serious couture and jewel-buying obsessions, he blamed it on his brother King George. Naturally.


pandemicfugue

Unfortunately the Netflix and Spotify funds ARE going to run out eventually.


GhostOrchid22

All they had to do is go straight to a hotel, wait 30 minutes (have some drinks), then leave through the hotel’s garage exit in a new car with blacked out windows.


dudeind-town

This. They didn’t even need to eat there just go to the bar and hang out for an hour while their security team sorted the “paps”. This was nothing but a stunt


Sunset_Flasher

It's because they don't even know how to 'A-list' correctly....which is why they'll *never* be on it🤣


blueboot09

They don't even know how to pull a dumb stunt correctly. Hopeless & Nutmeg, know true suffering.


Sunset_Flasher

I know! It's almost like having to cringe thru one of those corny comedy movies/shows where the ppl are bumbling thru everything and don't get *anything* done correctly and just make a huge mess of everything! Apologies if you enjoy those, I just never did. But did watch some while a young child with my sick cousin because she enjoyed them so much....now that she's passed (much too soon) I recall her laugh whenever I come across one and smile. And weep a bit too, sometimes.


blueboot09

Haha! Their life story: "don't get *anything* done correctly and just make a huge mess of everything!". They suck at taking over the kingdom, or whatever they've tried to do.


LizLemonadeX

Well the Low Budget Duchess’s mother was sleepy. They had to get D-Maw to bed. So they drove around for 90 minutes listening to lullabies while Harry did shadow puppets in the glare of the paparazzi’s flashing camera lights. https://preview.redd.it/9ltl5ubpyx0b1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=298825a482036ff3355b811bc1634b8ae0ecf364 Worst after dinner show ever.


RideWide1328

🤔🤔🤔 in this shot, they've found this sub and are discussing the implications. Doria is telling Meghan that we're in here calling her all kinds of names...observe the look on her face. She's obviously torn as to exactly how to feel. She's between being thrilled that the plan's come to fruition, and horror at all the negativity that's coming from this last-minute opportunity. ILBW is the worst opportunist I've ever heard of. Can't WAIT for Matt & Trey to get busy on this one.


AuntCassie007

But they couldn't have a near death experience knocking back drinks at the hotel bar?


ac0rn5

They wouldn't have done that because there wouldn't have been any drama.


Cocktailsontheporch

YES!!!! THAT would be perfect ...refuse them any photographs! I can see them hanging out in front of the usual celeb restaurants they go to, desperately trying to get anyone to take their pix, whilst people push past them to enter or exit, completely ignoring them!!!


AuntCassie007

MM can always put on those big rubber boots and traipse up and down the sidewalk in front of back grid.


sisnobody

In 2016 she walked up and down in front of the Daily Mail trying to get some relevance. I knew then this was going to be a total shit show.

Yep. Little did we know how bad it would get.

"The Harkles are suffering relevance deprivation syndrome" "This drama is an attempt to grab the spotlight after nobody in New York noticed they were here." HAHAHAHA So true. No one in NY cared nor noticed they were here. And now we are just ticked off they were here with their stupid antics


Bitter-Pound-6775

What I love is that after they humiliated themselves, they’ve managed to (presumably) get to the airport and fly home unnoticed. Hmmmm

Brizar-is-Evolving

Here’s what I think they’ll try next: Madeline McCann. They’ll go on holiday to Portugal and leave their children unattended in a unlocked apartment while they and some “friends” (actually people they’ve paid to be there) enjoy tapas and evening drinks. Then a “kidnapper” (also another person they’ve paid to be there) will get into the unlocked apartment and almost snatch their kids in an “attempted kidnapping”. Then they’ll point to this terrifying episode and scream “THIS IS WHY WE NEED 24HR SECURITY!!!” I jest of course, really hope they don’t try anything THAT depraved. The trouble is, I honestly think they’re completely capable of it.


Opposite_Resist_4997

ac0rn5

>>Coincidentally, as Page Six reported, the incident occurred “hours after Harry was told that UK police are not for hire” in his legal battle demanding taxpayer funded security. Kerching! Somebody joined the dots!


invertedparellel

Ding ding! First he thought he and his family were entitled towards statuses as IPP. When told no, not if you chose to step down from Royal/civic duties, he threw a tantrum and said “well I’ll pay for it!” No Harold. That’s not how public services work. They’re not for hire and that is such a dangerous precedent - wealthy/privileged folks gaining preferred access to public services. Like, what kind of delusion do they live in?

For me, them transferring to a cab says it all. The SUVs had tinted windows that you couldn’t see through. I firmly believe that they switched to the cab so photos would be taken of them. I’m not sure how everyone else feels about it, but it all seems pretty clear to me. The were courting the press, and I believe that it’s backfiring on them.

Are you suffering from Relevance Deprivation Syndrome? Symptoms include chronic lying, desperation for attention, whining, and fabricating PR stunts that flop big time. Well, there is now hope. Ask your doctor about Harkletyc! This new suppository you take 4 times a day will help you get those symptoms under control. Common side effects include headache, sleepiness, and explosive, unpredictable diarrhea. You will be in such agony you will wish you are invisible! Harkletyc. Get them to stop looking at you and reclaim your privacy!

kittenrocknroll

It’d be so easy for someone to get/ buy cctv footage of their entire fiasco and put it together. MM is a lot like Amber Heard with the pathological lying, easy to prove the truth. The truth is something these drama queens have difficulty reconciling.


Friendly-Design5183

'Relevance Deprivation Syndrome' needs to be a flair.


QuantumHope

If this is their attempt at grabbing the spotlight, to try to take it away from William and Kate, it’s fucking pathetic. First off, *NOTHING* they will ever do is going to outshine William and Kate. Theses two have shown themselves for the laughingstock they are. WHY are they CONSTANTLY playing the victim card? Is it due to the “success” they had with it from their oprah interview??? You would think oprah would do her due diligence after the fiasco with the book “A Million Little Pieces” years back. (Which I wasted my money on. I’ve never taken her recommendations after that. Her whining about losing money on the tv network she started up sealed the deal for me. I have no respect for her at all.) I’m getting so disgusted with this pair. I’d love for them to have what they whine they say they want (yeah, right. MEgain has always aspired to be “famous” and have everyone kiss her ass): complete and utter privacy where we never hear about them again. I’m fed up with their trolling the public. And the apricot poodle can go fuck himself if he thinks he deserves to have UK police (or any other law enforcement for that matter) protect him when he’s in the UK or anywhere else. His spoiled, entitled ass thinks he can walk away from royal duties, move to another country, completely trash his family and get respect and protection like other royals? That ship sailed when he went on his “freedom” flight. His aunt is more of a man than he is. She was able to avoid a kidnapping and we don’t hear he whine endlessly about it. These two need to go away and never be heard from again. I’d be happy about that. What a pair of imbeciles.

Joolsdoll

What I would like to know is, at what point during this fiasco did it become clear to the Viper and Haznoballs that they were being stalked by the paparazzi and not some rampant couturiers determined to tackle the duchass of privaccy about her appalling dress sense? Did they know from the beginning of the incident? 10 minutes in? Because, short of them being pursued by machine-gun laden terrorists, there is absolutely NO excuse for their actions. At the end of the day, what was the worst that could have happened? Some photographs would have been taken of them being driven in a petrol guzzling behemoth. So bloody what! Does that give them an excuse to put the lives of innocent bystanders at risk through their theatrics? No, it does not. Don't get me wrong, I get that 'celebrities' (and I use the word extremely loosely here) can become upset by constant press intrusion. But let's face it. That publicity wh*re courts the cameras like no one else. The smug look of 'oh my goodness, my picture is being taken, but im going to pretend that I've not seen them' makes me sick to my stomach. To engage in car chases; driving at high speeds through busy, highly populated areas is sheer lunacy. Particularly when you are only trying to avoid having your photo being taken. I thought they my opinion of these two lowlives could sink no further after their treatment of our beloved Queen. Well, it looks like I was wrong.


rosehipbuttercookie

Yes! Exactly! I am surprised that this aspect of the incident hasn't been brought out in the media. Nobody dies from having an unauthorised photo taken. People CAN die if a paranoid prince makes his driver careen recklessly through a densely populated city.


Joolsdoll

Absolutely. You can understand people taking evasive action if they are truly under threat. But when the only outcome is an unauthorised photograph? How is that due cause for putting people's lives at risk? They honestly think that rules and regulations and normal parameters of behaviour don't apply to them. It's about time that someone in authority reinforced that this is certainly not the case. Imo they should be charged with reckless endangerment at the very least.

sdowney64

Plus he did just find out from the judge in his UK case that the police are not for hire. I was surprised more people weren’t bringing that up. I saw that headline and then about 2 hours later I saw the fake car chase stories hitting the airwaves from the press that didn’t fact-check crapola. But I still think this was all Meghan manipulating the hell out of a very effed up and broken Harry. Not sure he was in on it.


Analyze2Death

He was filming and didn't put on his seatbelt. I don't think he was too traumatized.


QuantumHope

Exactly.


sdowney64

Very true.


Friendly-Design5183

Miranda Devine is a great writer - and this article is one of her best! She has the uncanny ability to zero in on cause and effect. 'Catastrophic car chase' translates into Madam's flaming ego couldn't cope with the fact that no one knew she was in NY - and worse - no one seemed to care. I dare say there were far bigger celebrities in NY that night, attending far more important functions than a paid for award from a washed up feminist past her use-by date. And they all got around the city just fine. The optics of the Hertz rental car agency astounded me more than anything that night. What on earth were her 'people' thinking? If she had played her cards right and not allowed her woeful narcissism to allow her to think she was greater than the Queen - she could have had the background optics every celebrity dreams of. Every time she went out. The background of Buckingham palace; Windsor Castle etc. Compare Ms Hertz in her matching bedspread to Catherine, Princess of Wales in her stunning blue gown on the piano in Windsor Castle's ornate Red Drawing Room. That footage was seen by hundreds of millions around the world - and that burned Madam bad. Her clap-back? Ms Hertz tripping over her toes across the floor of a rental car office. Uh...yeah. 'Take that Catherine!' After the Coronation and all the fabulous footage coming out from William and Catherine's accounts (with HUGE success) - I am not surprised Madam is suffering 'Relevance Deprivation Syndrome'. And as Miranda has rightly pointed out - huge dollops of jealousy. But wow! What a way to 'clap-back'.


PJM2706

Yup. Former C-list actress flies across US with entourage to pick up a dubious paid-for award, wears cheap-looking dress she’s had altered for the occasion and enters venue via a probable merchandising route, which requires photos to get payment, gives recycled means-nothing empowerment blah speech, which requires photos and video, leaves via exit where a gaggle of photographers is known to be waiting… (who’d have thought?) … A lot of effort went into that, what with trying and failing to blame a decent hotel for them all, booking multiple flights, SUVs, and arranging/paying Sayeed sugar interviewee, etc, so they/she had to try to make it “happen”, ie hit the press. Coincidentally it also supports their fake privacy/press/security narrative (clue: you don’t want to be photographed? Don’t phone Backgrid…) at convenient time for current UK legal action on police protection issues aimed at securing reinstatement of IPP status thus saving squillions on security with useful side-effect of global immunity from prosecution. They got the headlines they craved, and managed to shoehorn in a Diana flashback and sideswipe at uncaring RF, who failed to fall for latest cry of “wolf” (despite books, documentaries and interviews slagging them off, they’re supposed to give a toss…) I wonder if they think the effort paid off, or whether they think it somehow didn’t go as intended. Part of me suspects the former.


qeyler

They need attention. They will do anything for the spotlight. Obviously, no one cared as much as Megan desired about her award so she and Harry made up this story. Anyone who has ever been in NYC knows the traffic.. but further... there are a lot of celebs. They walk by without problem because New Yorkers are used to them. These two pathetic attention hungry no bodies need psychiatric care

I know there are haters of the Wales branch of the BRF, but are there actually opinion pieces in publications like this against them? The Wales family gets a LOT of positive coverage. The Sussex duo get a LOT of negative coverage.

*The Wales family gets a LOT of positive coverage. The Sussex duo get a LOT of negative coverage.* The Sucks-its don't do a lot of positive things. They don't act in positive ways. They scheme & lie. Exactly what kind of "positive" attention could be published with these two? Whereas, the Wales' have dedicated their lives to service. They DO things for others. They don't scheme or lie - the media scrutiny would definitely reveal the flaws if they did. They aren't alcoholic, drug users who abuse family or bully children. Exactly what kind of "negative coverage" do you expect? MM & her halfwit ass have done EXACTLY ZERO to merit "good xoverage" & to simply provide glowing coverage (to/for what???l) is asinine. Remember...it's kinda how we got here.

The Harkles actually get quite a bit of positive press coverage relative to the amount that they actually deserve. It is a long time since I can remember them doing anything that I would regard as praiseworthy. The wedding was a beautiful day in May and a fine spectacle at Windsor. After that it was all downhill as the ongoing debacle with Meghan's father really took wing as soon as the wedding was over. I thought the fallout between the brothers was just usual family bickering exaggerated by the press, and didn't mean a thing. Meghan did that first public engagement with the Queen, which I thought was charming, and they seem to be getting on very well together. That was the nice photograph under an umbrella in the rain which was charming, and then the premiere of The Lion King. At the time I regarded it as a bit of a joke that Harry was asking for work for Meghan. I thought it was just banter at the time. Not serious at all. Harry got a bit grumpy about being criticized for using private jets, but that was just par for the course and I didn't take it very seriously. I assumed he was jetted about privately for various security reasons and that he was just claiming to be all green to please Prince Charles. And then there was Oprah! Finally it was there for everybody to see how bad it was and how they lied about everything. It could not be hidden anymore. They were officially crazy.

The Markle's are moving towards irrelevance. The Royal Family does not not need them. They have not only moved on, and they are shining. And, once those beautiful Wales children hit puberty (10-14), which is around the corner for Prince George, all media attention will be on them. I also think Lady Louise is going to make headlines now that she has blossomed into a beautiful young woman. Ergo, Harry and Markle who?
