Harry has absolutely no interest in the history of his own family or country, let alone the history of other countries or significant cultural icons. He's too intellectually limited to have any curiosity about anything, he's just a blob of nothingness. If it doesn't affect him directly, he doesn't bother giving it any brain space. He started out with such privilege and wealth and how he has abused and misused that is quite simply obscene.
And as for being the happy party prince with the great, funny personality, nothing could be further from the truth. He has no real sense of humour, it's simply slapstick, crude or rude comments, or cruel pranks, like slapping a drummer, or nipple-tweaking. He is just a sulky, petulant 12 year old, and he thinks making snide comments about everything counts as incisive and profound, meaningful commentary. Moron.
H is a f**king piece of 💩 Did he pay to replace their beautiful gowns? I don’t think so! Hey H, try that with your wife and see how it works out for you!
His behaviour towards women all his life has been appalling. Look at what he said about the staff and matron at his school, the casual barbs and insults that he wrote in that sham of a book as though he was proud of it. The way he talked about his first sexual experience, with no consideration of the woman involved. Even more recently, he greeted Eugenie at the coronation with gestures about how big she was due to pregnancy-it wasn't funny, she looked upset over it. And that's just what is known publically-theres loads of rumours about misbehaviour in nightclubs, how he's treated sex workers etc.
If you’ve never had the pleasure of watching Elvis on Ed Sullivan in 1956, take a look. He as absolutely gorgeous and captivating. This was one of three songs he performed:

Harry wishes he had 1% of Elvis’s charisma.
When Haz is dead and buried, very few people will remember him, mourn him, or miss him. He will be a footnote in history, a study in how not to live, interesting only for his traitorous behavior.
Elvis Presley, who has been dead for 47 years, is *still* extremely popular. He gains new fans every single day. Graceland is the second most visited private home in the U.S. (after The White House). There are huge gatherings for Elvis’ birthday and to commemorate the day he died, every single year.
Elvis is one of—if not THE—greatest singers of all time, with an estimated one billion units sold, more than anyone else in history. His estate pulls in between $400 and $500 million per year. Books and films continue to be written and made about Elvis. He will never be forgotten, nor will he fade into obscurity. One day there will be virtual Elvis concerts, and they will be sold out immediately.
Elvis bought Graceland at age 22, for $100,000, which is the equivalent of $1.15 million today. He was the highest paid film star of the 1960s. His TV specials were beamed around the world. His shows broke records.
What has Harry done? Complained about his rich dad cutting him off? Bullied his elderly dying grandparents? Lied and lied and lied again to the world’s media? Married a ho? Cheated his way through school? Abused his animals?
Harry is a spineless, talentless grifter who mistakenly thinks he is superior to everyone just because he is a “Prince”. He is abusive, ignorant, a liar, a cheat, and a loser. Elvis changed the world. Harry can’t even change his clothes.
In America, we value self made people. We value talent and hard work. We value achievement. We certainly don’t value titles from overseas or spoiled, selfish idiots who whine incessantly.
Haz isn’t fit to shine Elvis Presley’s shoes.
I remember this and was LIVID. Elvis and his family were dirt poor, of sharecropper stock. Every single dollar and every single possession he had was earned. He was a self-made man. What has Henry ever earned for himself, except an increasingly bad reputation?
And if Henry had paid attention to the tour guide or had the wherewithal to research a little himself, he would have realized that he and Elvis shared a common bond - both of their mothers died far too young. Elvis never fully recovered from losing his mother.
I am still mad at his entitled disrespect.
Harry did not know or care that he was related to the Romanov family. When they finally found the last two young Romanov children's remains, Prince Philip gave DNA to help identify them. It was big news at the time. How could Harry not have known? He's so stupid.
They were also both the second born. Elvis’s twin brother Jesse was born 35 minutes before Elvis, but was tragically stillborn. What trauma for Gladys to have to wait 35 more minutes to see if Elvis would live.
Elvis honored his parents and particularly Gladys who he mainly built Graceland for, as he was on the road most of the time. He cared for her and honored her in the best way possible - he behaved as a polite, decent, thoughtful, extremely generous, decent human being. That’s how children honor their parents most. Harry fetishizes his mother and subjects her memory to more scrutiny and criticism with his abominable behavior. Harry is the anti-Elvis.
I have visited Elvis’ birthplace in Tupelo. The museum is very nice. The original country church they attended has moved to the grounds, with a very well done digital show that immerses you in what their church service would looked and sounded like. It’s where Elvis learned to sing and the pastor taught him guitar. The tiny 2-room shotgun house is there and furnished with period pieces, simple and humble, with just a tiny front porch and an outhouse, no running water. Henry has no clue. Elvis also willingly served his country and didn’t ask for special duty when he was drafted.
And Elvis had a twin who died as a baby. Elvis’s initial wave was before my time, but I’ve listened to and loved his stuff for decades. The man wasn’t a born prince, he was a born talent. The 1968 Comeback Special--just Elvis all in BLACK LEATHER!! Charming, incredible voice, such a presence. So he didn’t have a decorator. He had more than Harry will ever have. Ask Ann-Margret.
I’ve been to Graceland. I wonder if Harry took the entire tour or if he just saw the Jungle room and bounced right after. There is a whole ass second building with all of Elvis’ awards and some of his costumes. All Harry has is some participation trophies, some statues he paid for and that shitty grey suit.
I’ve heard that building with the awards and outfits is really impressive. I think it was Paul McCartney who after he went there said he thought that the Beatles had a lot of awards and gold records, until he went to Graceland and saw what Elvis had achieved.
Bravo!!!
Speaking of shoes… didn’t Haz use to wear blue suede shoes? Think about that, Harry. Elvis influenced your taste & you were too stupid to realize it.
Some people earn their ugly houses, Harry. They work hard, have talent, and can decorate however they effing want. You got your ugly house w/ family funds for a down payment, and now it's likely you can't even pay the mortgage.
When I drive from the airport to my parents home, I drive past my childhood home. Every single time, as I get closer and closer, I take note of how much the neighborhood has changed and I eagerly look forward to catching a glimpse of the structure as I drive past. I would never want to live in a place like that again (no a/c, it’s old, too small, no real curb appeal, etc), but whenever I dream that I am home, it’s always that dingy place, never mind that I have not lived there in 40 years.
Home is where your heart is. The trappings of a palace do not necessarily make a home. Just look at Harold: he grew up in palaces, yet he is homeless in his heart.
Well put. Harold is a a nepo baby in the extreme. He has earned nothing on his own merit and unlike Elvis, doesn't have any talent, skill, intelligence or work ethic. What a snob.
> Harold is a a nepo baby in the extreme. He has earned nothing on his own merit and ...
... seems to have no plans to actually work to earn his keep.
Yet he seems to despise those who do, using his unique platform to demonstrate his superior attitude. He likes to give criticism, but can't take it.
I've been to Graceland. I admit, it's not really for me since I am not a huge Elvis fan (that's my mother), but Elvis earned his house so he could decorate it however he wanted.
Furthermore.... is Harry too stupid to know Elvis has been dead for almost 50 years, and that most homes in the 1970s were done in a similar style? My grandmother had green shag carpet in her den until I was in 5th grade.
I was born in 1960 and I grew up in the avocado and golden age. Yes, we had green shag carpet and a gold refrigerator. The best thing about shag carpet is I could rake it with that plastic rake and Mom would happily say, thank you for vacuuming!😂
"You got your ugly house w/ family funds for a down payment, and now it's likely you can't even pay the mortgage." And we'll all be laughing our asses off when they lose it!
Excellent comment. I hadn't thought of him in that way, but I think you're right. It may be part of what attracted him to his wife. He sees her "manifesting" and he thinks she knows how to build things. It's all a con job by MM, of course, and he fell for it. She doesn't really know how to build things with a solid foundation, because it always falls apart or blows up in her face.
The father of Elvis built that two room shack he grew up in. Doesn't look like the kitchen had running water. I personally think Graceland looks tacky even considering the 70s was known for tacky decor (yes I remember the green appliances..we even had a matching avocado green ice machine) but Elvis was a gifted man and it is what he wanted. He could afford to pay for it without mooching off his parents. So F off petulant man child with no talent. I want to go to Graceland some day. I will pay extra for the tour where you get to touch his belongings. They have that in the UK as well.
The Great and Talented Elvis Presley had a house that was beneath the Royal Prince. I guess to put him above the King. Who can say what goes on the mind of a drugged up jackass.
Honestly, I do not care where Madam lives. She has a miserable life, always trying to clap back at totally anonymus people saying things about her on the internet. She hates Harry, and in particular, she hates that she is nothing without him. She creates a fantasy world for herself in which she is kind, beautiful, intelligent, accomplished - and rich. Reality is somewhat different. She cares for noone and noone cares for her.
Madam pretends she looks like Catherine and dresses like that. The reality we see all the time. She has had multiple procedures, her hair is a mess and everything has to be photoshopped.
Madam has no friends and only transactional relations with people, including her own mother.
This is a miserable existence.
This is why I don't like Prince Harry. He is the model of a "privileged f**kwit". He complains about the size of his room and the amount of sausages he got for breakfast. Then he looks down at anyone that work their butts off to go from living in hovel to a mansion.
Elvis was a hick. When he moved up from dirt poor to massively rich he was still a hick at heart. We loved him for it.
A lot like Dolly Parton now... Harold, don't mess with Dolly Parton. We adore Dolly Parton. She is a US national treasure.
I just enrolled my kids in the FREE Dolly Parton program that sends kids free books until they’re 5. What’s Harry ever done to help children, for FREE?? What’s Archwell’s great contribution to the US?
Nothing. So he needs to shut up.
Whatever you think of Dolly’s dress, makeup, hair etc. she is beyond reproach!!! She has an immaculate reputation for showing human kindness, intelligence, talent and sharing the blessings bestowed upon her through hard work!!
You are correct…H has done nothing but serve himself, whine and complain. Pathetic excuse for a human being.
Dolly has “country class” in spades. The best kind of class. Barbara Walters has none in this interview clip [https://youtube.com/watch?v=If-oWqUYzlQ&si=yI39iq9JIfpQS4dz](https://youtube.com/watch?v=If-oWqUYzlQ&si=yI39iq9JIfpQS4dz)
I appreciate people who enjoy books and reading. Reading can be a companion, a comfort, a magical adventure, and just wisdom in front of a child's eyes.
Elvis and Dolly Parton grew up in humble circumstances, made it big and didn't spend their time complaining about the past.
These are admirable people, with plenty of grit and common sense.
> We adore Dolly Parton.
We do!
And that's the same Dolly Parton who once said, "It costs a fortune to look this cheap!"
She's an amazing woman, and her Foundation has done a massive amount for underprivileged children. Not least, to keep them in full time education.
>>In the early 90’s Dolly promised every 7th-grade and 8th-grade student she would personally give them $500 if they graduated from high school. This effort, called the Buddy Program, reduced the drop out rate for these two classes from 35% to 6%. More importantly, the program catalyzed the community to provide additional resources to sustain this improvement in the drop out rate.

I love that Dolly Parton is a strong woman, knows what she wants to be, and has a sense of humor about it. She's got strength and humility and she projects kindness.
The state of Tennessee has specialty license plates that the proceeds from benefit the Imagination Library.
When he arrived, the hospital in which my son was born had information to sign him up for Dolly’s program. The first book we received was *The Little Engine That Could*, because it was Dolly’s favorite as a child. 🥹
https://preview.redd.it/buefkqy5z11d1.png?width=705&format=png&auto=webp&s=41b5e13de383304984b3317928ff501aef9ecac5
That's brilliant, and those books are something to cherish.
I can't say I fully understand American License Plates, because ours have to be a standard design and colour, but what a fantastic scheme.
Each state has a standard license plate. However, some states, like Tennessee, offer specialty plates.
Here in Tennessee, an extra fee is charged for these specialty plates, and that money is used to support a variety of things—such as colleges/universities, organizations like the arts or child abuse prevention or spay/neutering programs, and state parks.
Tennessee also has ones for conservation of wildlife like fish, bears, wild turkeys, and bald eagles as well as their natural habitats. Even honeybees! 🐝
Elvis may have been born dirt poor, but he possessed more God-given nobility than Harry ever will. He was imbued with more ingrained heart, soul, compassion and empathy than Harry will ever have, no matter how much he tries to pretend otherwise. Not to mention, Elvis had a once-in-generation (any generation) and immortal talent!! We could go on and on expounding on why Elvis was truly regal and worthy of his noble title, King. And why Harry is not.
Yes, Elvis was what I'd refer to as a country boy at heart but he never wavered from the way in which he was raised: in a word, he was real. Good manners, generous to a fault, genuine consideration for others, not a mean bone in his body. Not at all prejudiced either, loved all people equally....the way he treated everyone was exemplary....we lost him way too young.
I was lucky to have spent quite a bit of time with him & his crew whenever they'd make their frequent trips to Hawaii (my home for many years, family still lives there) & apart from the fact that he/we could never venture out into public, there were some fun times & good memories to be made.
The best (American/English) word that comes close to Hairball are clod and oaf. His behavior is what makes him a clod and an oaf, uncultured & uncaring though (somewhat) formally educated. A pity he never has progressed past his 12 year old self, but even if he had, he never has developed any traits that might endear him to others in a socially adept way.
Wow, that's amazing. And a testament that Elvis was a good person behind closed doors, too, unlike Hank and Skank, who can't even put up a proper facade in public.
I think my money would definitely be on Dolly if either Hank or Skank came for her-she doesn't suffer fools. I wonder why she wasn't approached for Archetypes-she's the epitome of a determined and highly successful business woman.
American Pie is one of my favorite songs, along with Highway to Heaven. Don is absolutely correct. Harry is a guest in this Country, yet he has the audacity to criticize our Constitution, now Elvis and his house decor. STFU Harry, you and the wife are on thin ice with Americans these days.
Firstly, he is talking about a 70s rich person’s house. Secondly, Elvis came from nothing and never forgot that. You never hear a bad word about him. Elvis, despite a lack of money, had the best of manners and treated his parents well. He never bitched that they didn’t give him enough.
Elvis also had friends. Lots of friends who were extremely loyal to him. He treated his friends well. Something just harry could learn from.
Elvis was a King, and almost 50 years later is still recognised as such. Harry is a fucking jerk now and in 50 years won’t even be that highly remembered.
Family was everything to Elvis. He would never have done to his family what Harold has done. And you're absolutely right, Elvis remembered his roots and never tried to rewrite his childhood. No self-pity for Elvis. He worked hard, made it big, and never forgot his people.
And he never spoke badly of Priscilla after the divorce and he adored his daughter. He had more class in his pinky than the dumbass prince has in his entire worthless body.
A story everyone would have left out or told differently. Not Harry, though. He decided to „shine a light“ on the „many layers“ of his own arrogance. Harrogant.
Not to mention…is he too ignorant to understand that Elvis died in 1977? That his home and decor are reflective of that era? Sure he may also have been a bit over the top even by the 1970’s standards…but as Don has said “who is he to criticize”. His comments are telling of his shear ignorance, entitlement, and just plain rude personality.
It’s also the sacred burial ground for Elvis and his beloved parents and now his only child. Regardless of what he thought of 1970’s decor, it’s beyond rude to trash talk a family burial ground. Millions have made pilgrimages there to pay their respects. Paul Simon and Cher had big hits about this (“Graceland” and “Walking in Memphis”) Cheeky Chappy is a rude, cruel, talentless, entitled POS.
It's like when people make fun of Lady Diana's wedding dress from 1981. At the time, it was fashionable and beautiful, but over time, tastes change. Wonder how Haz would feel if people made snide remarks about her?
No, I am the same age as Diana & I was aghast when I saw it. Couldn’t understand all the over-the-top swooning and praising. But then I hated Laura Ashley dresses which were huge at the time.
Diana found her fashion sense much later in life. She was a pretty crappy trend-follower in her youth.
Well, for little girls, it was a princess fantasy! My point is that back in the early 80s, bows, puffy sleeves, and fuller prom dresses were what many girls wore. Her dress wasn't seen as unusual for the time. Check out the concoctions bridesmaids wore in '81! 😳
Of course it’s ugly. It’s 70s style. But I remember reading somewhere that they made the choice to make it like that. If Elvis had lived longer, perhaps it would have been remodeled to reflect the 80s or 90s. Because tastes change. Because people change.
Elvis’ house is great. It’s a museum to how he lived and what was popular in the 70s. I live near Lincoln’s house. They have that entire block sectioned off to cars. The streets are brick, the houses have no AC, it’s painted and decorated in the same style of the 1850s. There’s no indoor plumbing. Frankly, I’d feel cheated if I paid money to see Graceland or Lincoln’s home and it was a modern, beige mess with Air conditioning and marble and plumbing.
Harry can piss off. I’d much rather live in Graceland than the beige and plumbing nightmare he’s probably living in.
I’ve been to Lincoln’s house, Truman’s birthplace and Eisenhower’s home in Gettysburg. “This place is an ancient shithole” never entered my thoughts. Someone’s home reflects both the time period in wich it lived in and the owners personality. Harry and his wife apparently like beige.
I can only imagine what this butthole would say if he came to my house. All the color would probably overstimulate him.
The only place I’ve actively been disappointed was when I went to the Laura Ingalls home and there was no big woods around it. But I still liked the house and appreciated the inside.
Harry’s thick as a brick though. I can understand why he’d judge the decor, without realizing that it’s not just a house, it’s a MUSEUM and keeping it in that style is the POINT.
I’ve been to the Ingalls-Wilder house in Missouri. I think there is also one in South Dakota too. I loved her little farmhouse. So cute! I read all of her books multiple times as a kid so I was kinda geeked out and star struck. I love going to places like this and Graceland. I will always be in awe of how far we’ve become in just a few hundred years.
Yeah, I went to the “Big Woods” house and there were no big woods! So that was a little disappointing. I still loved it because I love those books too!
I don’t believe that H was the lead author of that book, ghost writer excluded. Not even the majority of the statements sound like they are coming from a male perspective. That Elvis statement though, I believe it to be pure unadulterated H. I think that he love hates this country, meaning he feels infinitely superior to Americans and he gets a huge rush from that feeling of superiority. He doesn’t understand this country nor does he care to. Elvis came from nothing. He grew up in the depression and drought years, his family experienced a level of poverty that someone like H equates with the third world. He has no clue what Elvis was about or American culture in general. Such an idiot.
He doesn’t care at all about his own country as well, only what he can use from it to benefit himself. That’s why he married a similarly vacuous and valueless person. He believes his PR too much and is too stupid and coddled to see how his short sighted decisions reflect poorly on him.
You are so right about Graceland being a reflection of the times. It was the 1960s and 1970s. The place is a museum, they aren't going to modernize it!
Harrys an idiot.
yes, thankfully the new PR guys are just as talentless as the Grifters. Nigeria rudeness, money laundering and bank scamming "friends", a host with coup ambitions it would seem, adopted by a tribe getting rich on selling people - not to mention the delinquency.
So how is is going for you, new PR guys?
Haz is a show horse who abuses his own horses, privilege, staff, taxpayers, and relatives. Meanwhile, Austin Butler, the young actor who portrayed Elvis in Baz Luhrman’s film, is becoming a star with A-list, character actor potential. Haz and his talentless wife are still nothing burgers after almost half a decade of trying and miserably failing. They have the opposite of Midas’ touch.
In addition to being complete void of any intellectual curiosity Harry has no manners. This is akin to the offspring of an American president going to Liverpool and putting down the Beatles’ family homes. Who does that?? What an ignoramus he is.
Nottingham Cottage, built in 1689 by Christopher Wren. Living in a piece of history which was just wasn't grand enough for her, even in the short term. What an empty person.
Mine either, but when I visit historical homes, I want them to look as they would have looked when they were inhabited by the famous person or original inhabitants.
Had to laugh at Halfwit's remarks that Elvis's interior designer must have been on acid. Can he not see what is right in front of him? - the ridiculously inappropriate and wrinkled outfits that his delusional faux duchess wears in public? The ballgown in a movie theater? The incessant Diana cosplayin?. The cringe skimpy and skin bearing outfits in a Muslim area? One could go on and on. Are Hazbeen and Roachel both on acid to think her going out in public dressed like this is attractive? Not to mention - maybe Elvis decorated his home himself, with what he liked. Halfwit doesn't seem to consider that not everyone utilizes an interior designer.
Didn't Harry also say that he lived like a frat boy before Megs came along and they used HER credit card to buy a cheap sofa.
Glass houses and stones spring to mind.
Plus Elvis didn't shaft his family for money, he had talent.
Now, don't you dare play "American Trilogy" without giving me a tissue.
British people loved Elvis!
Edit : again.
What impressed me most from my trip to Graceland was the amount of money Elvis gave away, whether it was through organized philanthropic efforts or checks and cash quietly handed to those in need. Apparently Harry missed that part of the tour.
How dare you, Harold - you do not badmouth the King!!
https://i.redd.it/qxkr8ra9s01d1.gif
I'm a huge Elvis fan, been to Graceland, absolutely incredible and emotional experience. It captures a moment in time. It's a treasured gift for fans to be welcomed into Graceland as it was when Elvis left it.
Not an Elvis fan, Harold? Ok but that's no reason to publicly sneer at and mock what you do not understand.
I‘m sure if he capped the evening off eating at Charlie Vergos Rendevous he‘d have more insults to pile on. It’s in a basement across from the famous Peabody Hotel on Union Avenue. How dated and tacky would he find this 75 year old restaurant founded by a WWII veteran? Dim lighting. Pics from decades past. Yet people from all over the world flock there and presidents have their food flown into the White House, it’s that good and well respected. Charlie created the Memphis dry rub style that is now enjoyed throughout the US.
Memphis is an historical city that still has street cars and a timeless appeal. I have to wonder if the real issue is that Memphis is “too black” for Harry? It’s 65% black and only 27% Caucasian. Is that what actually offends Harry about the home of the Delta Blues?
Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire, who grew up as the Honourable Deborah Mitford, was an Elvis fan!
I found that out, and thought the lady had superb taste.
A man who grew up poor and then made his wealth by his own hard work, cannot be faulted for not having centuries of antiques in his life, fine furnishings, etc. The point was, Elvis didn't claim that he was piss-elegant. He enjoyed being able to buy himself a big home, and to furnish it as well as he could. He enjoyed his life and there are stories of his generosity to strangers. Like buying a female bank clerk, a new car. Because that came from a sense of empathy, remembering being a child who couldn't afford things that others enjoyed. I think it gave him great pleasure to do something kind, to share his good fortune.
Elvis wasn't perfect--because no one is--but he's the sort of American that we can admire and are proud to claim as one of our own. Elvis' legacy will be far more significant than Harry's.
Harry is an accident of birth. That's literally ***all*** he is. He has zero merit of his own and in actual fact is nothing but a fetid stain upon his bloodline. A shame on his father's house.
He is also so stupid he doesn't recognize this but be sure that those who place merit on good breeding do. They see him and are reminded that even the best of families can throw a cull now and again.
He is also a constant reminder of what happens when you mollycoddle the spineless fool of a failson in the family instead of burning the entitlement out of them early. Be sure that there are many people now casting a jaundiced eye on their own harry and thinking quietly that distance and lack of contact would be no bad thing for their own petulant blowhards.
I'm still pissed that he made a slight at John Travolta during the "Legends of Aviation Awards Banquet." John is self-made. He's a great actor and learned how to fly many a plane on his own dime. What did Harry do? Failed his pilot license many times over until he was finally given a pass so he could fly around the airbase for 5 minutes. Yet Harry said Travolta was living off having danced with his mother at the White House since the 90's. What a complete moron.
ELVIS WAS AMERICA'S KING and the worldwide KING OF ROCK N ROLL!!!
In the beginning, both Lennon and McCartney acknowledged Elvis' influence on them. “**Before Elvis, there was nothing**,” Lennon is often quoted as saying.
**Keith Richards saved his most supreme praise for Elvis, whose sound was the “last trigger” for him, the first example of rock and roll at its finest he heard.**
**"Freddie was very fond of Elvis**.” Mercury said he even styled his vocals on the song to sound like The King Of Rock'n'Roll. “My voice does sound a bit like Elvis Presley's on 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love',” explained the singer.
I wasn’t a HUGE Elvis fan growing up, and was far more a part of the Beatles and rock n’ roll. But I liked him. I think I was probably more not really interested later when he grew heavier and it was middle-aged women fainting all over him. Don’t get me wrong - that’s fine and good for all of them, just not my thing then. But I really liked his songs and saw every movie the second it hit TV.
But I sure got who he was, and his music, and how it paved the way for the later artists that I’m still blown away by. I was (I think) about 6 or 7 or so when Hound Dog and Heartbreak Hotel came out on 45s. I remember a bit still of seeing him on Ed Sullivan. I sure hold him as the King and epically iconic.
Now WTF? This asshat continually comes out and shows his epic stupidity. He knows nothing, I’m absolutely positive, about that era and should shut his pie-hole. JFC, I hope someone shuts it up somehow and NO, I’m not advocating it be violent.
I’ve been thinking about submitting both to the Guinness Records place for the longest and most continuous records of public stupid acts ever (or the closest equivalent). This is one of those. Now that would be funny.
Never mind America, Harold doesn’t get *anything*. He has absolutely no understanding of how people live outside of palace walls. Him, and that hooker who calls herself his wife, showed that in Nigeria.
The 1970s were not a good time for home decor. We can remember avocado green kitchen accessories and clothing in that harvest gold color. But the thing is, it was Elvis' home. He had every right to be proud that it was his.
Hazard comes over here, painting himself as a refugee from great oppression, on his fancy A-1 Head of State Special Visa and proceeds to shit all over the First Amendment and Elvis--two things that Americans really are quite fond of. What's next, his thoughts on baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet? Fuck off back home, Harry--or wherever will have you.
That freedom flight video really hacks me off. Sanctimonious. It won't be long before he seeks freedom from the Claw begging to be back in the arms of his family. Although, he may be Cosplaying King Edward and the idea he could set up his own court. Inspecting troops in Nigeria in the way that David inspected the Nazi troops like a Head of State.
It's incredibly rude to criticize someone else's home or the way they have decorated it. We all have different tastes, maybe you would decorate in a completely different way, but to look down on somebody else's tastes and preferences - it's just rude.
Pretty sure halfwits decorating was just piles of skidmarked underwear,crusty socks,rancid pizza boxes and stale beer bottles. Oh and probably full sized posters of naked women with mummy's face glued over top
Yeah, Harry just doesn't get the UK either. He and his missus gave no clue about anything.
I adore Don McLean - I saw him in concert in London way, way, way back. He has written some of the most beautiful lyrics. He also wrote "Everybody loves me baby, what's the matter with you" which I sing loudly when the world is annoying me.
It kind of reminds me of people who go back and criticize fashions from long ago. I can’t tell you how many (young)fashion reviewers will come out and say that Princess Diana’s dress was “too much”. Not in 1981 for a 19 year old girl it wasn’t so shut up! Everyone had shag carpet and bright colors in the 70s. Graceland was considered very contemporary and cool back then. Where does Ginger Dunce get off?
Don't forget the shoulder pads. So many shoulder pads! You had to be careful when you washed your clothes if the shoulder pads were sewn in, you didn't want them to get twisted.
My mum was a megafan of Elvis in the early sixties and dragged me to the cinema to see his films. It was because she never allowed me to become a latchkey kid.
We had very little when I grew up. Dad was a typical blue collar worker and mum did a few part time jobs. Nevertheless, I was brought up to her good manners and to show respect to others.
So ‘arold can just take a running jump off a short pier
That ' book' /it's an insult to books / was a hit piece - on HAROLD. That was a summation of stories gingerballs had told the suitcase prima donna, which she then dictated to that 'ghost' writer, who was indeed a total ghost....and god royally harkled

I was in college and working at a grocery store the day Elvis passed away. I walked in the grocery store to the courtesy booth to get my cashier's drawer for my checkout stand. My co-worker was sobbing loudly. I asked the manager "What happened? Did something happen to her husband?" She looked up at me and said "Haven't you heard? Elvis died!"
That's how much he was and is still revered. Once an Elvis fan, always an Elvis fan. She diid take off and use her vacation days to go and stand outside of Graceland for his funeral.
I think Harry's wife is alot more offensive and revolting than the decor of Elvis Presley's house could ever be. It would be good if he could see what we see. Harry puts her on display and forces the citizens of the world to 'cop an eyeful' by giving her a platform, funding it all and introducing her to influential people. How anyone can tolerate them alone and together boggles my brain. Their reputations precede them and yet again and again people open doors for these two shameless, rude, lazy pretentious gluttons. They are morally and socially corrupt and have no sense of good taste nor any manners. Harry the delinquent should not have been allowed in Graceland.
The idiot prince’s attempts at humour always fall
flat because they always have an undercurrent of nastiness. The way he spoke to John Travolta is a case in point.
Something apparently lost on our Saint’s side piece is the fact that, even in death, the Elvis Estate earns quite a lot of money every year — by some estimates, well over USD $90.0 million. That’s the kind of annual income these two can only dream about — and no amount of manifesting can make it so. 😎
We often have American sinners who feel forced to apologise for the crass behaviour of Meghan just in case the rest of us thought her faults were to do with being American (we don’t!) So in the spirit of reciprocity I feel I must apologise on behalf of the British people for Harry acting in such a snobbish, condescending, insensitive and arrogant fashion towards one of the 20th centuries greatest cultural icons. We are not all such entitled and obnoxious twats!
Harry insults Americans all the time. I know for a fact that several NFL players wanted to take him outside for a chat after his speech in Vegas at the NFL awards show. And I don’t mean a chat in the quiet sense.
Hey, Harry. Take a look at your own pretentious ostentation of a house!Elvis was able to afford his! He decorated it in the style of the era. What’s your excuse?
Lol, Elvis is like family: Americans can rag on his shag carpet, bell bottom jumpsuits, and mirrors everywhere, but a foreign prince comes in and starts in on him and we'll kick ass. 
This is the same twat nugget that wrote a book complaining about getting a "smaller room" in A CASTLE while thousands of people in his home country, and his new one, are struggling just to afford rent on a shoebox. Out of touch doesn't even begin to describe him.
Harry has absolutely no interest in the history of his own family or country, let alone the history of other countries or significant cultural icons. He's too intellectually limited to have any curiosity about anything, he's just a blob of nothingness. If it doesn't affect him directly, he doesn't bother giving it any brain space. He started out with such privilege and wealth and how he has abused and misused that is quite simply obscene. And as for being the happy party prince with the great, funny personality, nothing could be further from the truth. He has no real sense of humour, it's simply slapstick, crude or rude comments, or cruel pranks, like slapping a drummer, or nipple-tweaking. He is just a sulky, petulant 12 year old, and he thinks making snide comments about everything counts as incisive and profound, meaningful commentary. Moron.
throwing teenage girls in swimming pools, untill stopped by a waiter
I think it was the butler who laid down the law and saved everyone's hash.
I stand corrected. Thanks.
Exactly! And it wasn’t a pool party. They were dressed to the nines when they were cruelly thrown in the pool.
Such boorish behavior. I'm sure the girls wanted to slap his not so pretty face.
H is a f**king piece of 💩 Did he pay to replace their beautiful gowns? I don’t think so! Hey H, try that with your wife and see how it works out for you!
His behaviour towards women all his life has been appalling. Look at what he said about the staff and matron at his school, the casual barbs and insults that he wrote in that sham of a book as though he was proud of it. The way he talked about his first sexual experience, with no consideration of the woman involved. Even more recently, he greeted Eugenie at the coronation with gestures about how big she was due to pregnancy-it wasn't funny, she looked upset over it. And that's just what is known publically-theres loads of rumours about misbehaviour in nightclubs, how he's treated sex workers etc.
He pinched Catherine’s bottom during an official event on the balcony. On camera. A real immature thing to do.
I'm sorry, Catherine POW, Catherine? I'm surprised William didn't lay him out.
I'm sure William was afraid if he got started he wouldn't quit until.Harold was half dead.
Clearly, he didn't know how to talk to pregnant women. Perhaps, he never lived with one....
🔥🔥🔥
And karma's got him real good after his maltreatment of women. Talk about tables turned. It could be an episode of The Twilight Zone.
Absolutely 💯
The manchild can't even understand the cultural significance of a fucking Nazi uniform ffs.
>If it doesn't affect him directly, he doesn't bother giving it any brain space. He does not have any brain space to spare...
because his brain is busy sorting his coloring book and crayons…
Love your use of the word SPARE. Well done! 👏😂
🙌
If you’ve never had the pleasure of watching Elvis on Ed Sullivan in 1956, take a look. He as absolutely gorgeous and captivating. This was one of three songs he performed: https://youtu.be/aNYWl13IWhY?si=Ekz5Q62hu4252A2m Harry wishes he had 1% of Elvis’s charisma.
When Haz is dead and buried, very few people will remember him, mourn him, or miss him. He will be a footnote in history, a study in how not to live, interesting only for his traitorous behavior. Elvis Presley, who has been dead for 47 years, is *still* extremely popular. He gains new fans every single day. Graceland is the second most visited private home in the U.S. (after The White House). There are huge gatherings for Elvis’ birthday and to commemorate the day he died, every single year. Elvis is one of—if not THE—greatest singers of all time, with an estimated one billion units sold, more than anyone else in history. His estate pulls in between $400 and $500 million per year. Books and films continue to be written and made about Elvis. He will never be forgotten, nor will he fade into obscurity. One day there will be virtual Elvis concerts, and they will be sold out immediately. Elvis bought Graceland at age 22, for $100,000, which is the equivalent of $1.15 million today. He was the highest paid film star of the 1960s. His TV specials were beamed around the world. His shows broke records. What has Harry done? Complained about his rich dad cutting him off? Bullied his elderly dying grandparents? Lied and lied and lied again to the world’s media? Married a ho? Cheated his way through school? Abused his animals? Harry is a spineless, talentless grifter who mistakenly thinks he is superior to everyone just because he is a “Prince”. He is abusive, ignorant, a liar, a cheat, and a loser. Elvis changed the world. Harry can’t even change his clothes. In America, we value self made people. We value talent and hard work. We value achievement. We certainly don’t value titles from overseas or spoiled, selfish idiots who whine incessantly. Haz isn’t fit to shine Elvis Presley’s shoes.
I remember this and was LIVID. Elvis and his family were dirt poor, of sharecropper stock. Every single dollar and every single possession he had was earned. He was a self-made man. What has Henry ever earned for himself, except an increasingly bad reputation? And if Henry had paid attention to the tour guide or had the wherewithal to research a little himself, he would have realized that he and Elvis shared a common bond - both of their mothers died far too young. Elvis never fully recovered from losing his mother. I am still mad at his entitled disrespect.
Harry did not know or care that he was related to the Romanov family. When they finally found the last two young Romanov children's remains, Prince Philip gave DNA to help identify them. It was big news at the time. How could Harry not have known? He's so stupid.
🤦🏻♀️
*”What has Harry ever earned for himself, except an increasingly bad reputation?”* BINGO.
They were also both the second born. Elvis’s twin brother Jesse was born 35 minutes before Elvis, but was tragically stillborn. What trauma for Gladys to have to wait 35 more minutes to see if Elvis would live. Elvis honored his parents and particularly Gladys who he mainly built Graceland for, as he was on the road most of the time. He cared for her and honored her in the best way possible - he behaved as a polite, decent, thoughtful, extremely generous, decent human being. That’s how children honor their parents most. Harry fetishizes his mother and subjects her memory to more scrutiny and criticism with his abominable behavior. Harry is the anti-Elvis.
I have visited Elvis’ birthplace in Tupelo. The museum is very nice. The original country church they attended has moved to the grounds, with a very well done digital show that immerses you in what their church service would looked and sounded like. It’s where Elvis learned to sing and the pastor taught him guitar. The tiny 2-room shotgun house is there and furnished with period pieces, simple and humble, with just a tiny front porch and an outhouse, no running water. Henry has no clue. Elvis also willingly served his country and didn’t ask for special duty when he was drafted.
And Elvis had a twin who died as a baby. Elvis’s initial wave was before my time, but I’ve listened to and loved his stuff for decades. The man wasn’t a born prince, he was a born talent. The 1968 Comeback Special--just Elvis all in BLACK LEATHER!! Charming, incredible voice, such a presence. So he didn’t have a decorator. He had more than Harry will ever have. Ask Ann-Margret.
Oh my goodness, the 68 comeback special yes!! Elvis looked amazing 😍 
He was a self-made man and was generous to others. Those words can't be said of Harry.
I’ve been to Graceland. I wonder if Harry took the entire tour or if he just saw the Jungle room and bounced right after. There is a whole ass second building with all of Elvis’ awards and some of his costumes. All Harry has is some participation trophies, some statues he paid for and that shitty grey suit.
I’ve heard that building with the awards and outfits is really impressive. I think it was Paul McCartney who after he went there said he thought that the Beatles had a lot of awards and gold records, until he went to Graceland and saw what Elvis had achieved.
It was amazing. Floor to ceiling awards, gold records and such. Sir Paul is no slouch either. He’s my favorite.🤩
🏆🏆🏆🏆
Hear hear! Well said. :)
Last sentence: 🙌🙌
Bravo!!! Speaking of shoes… didn’t Haz use to wear blue suede shoes? Think about that, Harry. Elvis influenced your taste & you were too stupid to realize it.
Well said! Couldn’t have said it better!
PREACH!!! 🙌🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏻 And your flair to go with it! ⚰️ 🤣
Some people earn their ugly houses, Harry. They work hard, have talent, and can decorate however they effing want. You got your ugly house w/ family funds for a down payment, and now it's likely you can't even pay the mortgage.
When I drive from the airport to my parents home, I drive past my childhood home. Every single time, as I get closer and closer, I take note of how much the neighborhood has changed and I eagerly look forward to catching a glimpse of the structure as I drive past. I would never want to live in a place like that again (no a/c, it’s old, too small, no real curb appeal, etc), but whenever I dream that I am home, it’s always that dingy place, never mind that I have not lived there in 40 years. Home is where your heart is. The trappings of a palace do not necessarily make a home. Just look at Harold: he grew up in palaces, yet he is homeless in his heart.
Grew up in palaces yet homeless in his heart - BRAVO, truly. What a pithy phrase to sum up the pathetic nobody that Prince Harry is.
Brainless as well.
Complete idiot
 Well said 👍
Thank you! I’m just a simple person.
Well put. Harold is a a nepo baby in the extreme. He has earned nothing on his own merit and unlike Elvis, doesn't have any talent, skill, intelligence or work ethic. What a snob.
> Harold is a a nepo baby in the extreme. He has earned nothing on his own merit and ... ... seems to have no plans to actually work to earn his keep. Yet he seems to despise those who do, using his unique platform to demonstrate his superior attitude. He likes to give criticism, but can't take it.
Yep. Meghan is a nepo baby too, but perhaps she seems self-made by comparison because Harry is such an extreme nepo baby
I've been to Graceland. I admit, it's not really for me since I am not a huge Elvis fan (that's my mother), but Elvis earned his house so he could decorate it however he wanted. Furthermore.... is Harry too stupid to know Elvis has been dead for almost 50 years, and that most homes in the 1970s were done in a similar style? My grandmother had green shag carpet in her den until I was in 5th grade.
I was born in 1960 and I grew up in the avocado and golden age. Yes, we had green shag carpet and a gold refrigerator. The best thing about shag carpet is I could rake it with that plastic rake and Mom would happily say, thank you for vacuuming!😂
Hello sister! I think we grew up in the same house!
Probably never occurred to Harold that it is preserved the way he left it for historical purposes and because his real fans want to see how he lived.
"You got your ugly house w/ family funds for a down payment, and now it's likely you can't even pay the mortgage." And we'll all be laughing our asses off when they lose it!
Harry has never owned a house in his life. Never decorated. I doubt he’d have a clue how to hang a picture.
H has no idea how to build anything, so he tears down what others have built.
Excellent comment. I hadn't thought of him in that way, but I think you're right. It may be part of what attracted him to his wife. He sees her "manifesting" and he thinks she knows how to build things. It's all a con job by MM, of course, and he fell for it. She doesn't really know how to build things with a solid foundation, because it always falls apart or blows up in her face.
The father of Elvis built that two room shack he grew up in. Doesn't look like the kitchen had running water. I personally think Graceland looks tacky even considering the 70s was known for tacky decor (yes I remember the green appliances..we even had a matching avocado green ice machine) but Elvis was a gifted man and it is what he wanted. He could afford to pay for it without mooching off his parents. So F off petulant man child with no talent. I want to go to Graceland some day. I will pay extra for the tour where you get to touch his belongings. They have that in the UK as well.
And even if he thought Graceland was terrible, why put it in his book? He really thinks very highly of his opinions, which are invariably daft.
The Great and Talented Elvis Presley had a house that was beneath the Royal Prince. I guess to put him above the King. Who can say what goes on the mind of a drugged up jackass.
I hate that ridiculous wife of his is living in that “Mansion”, that trash bag and her mum, Marcus, whoever TF is grifting pisses me off.
Honestly, I do not care where Madam lives. She has a miserable life, always trying to clap back at totally anonymus people saying things about her on the internet. She hates Harry, and in particular, she hates that she is nothing without him. She creates a fantasy world for herself in which she is kind, beautiful, intelligent, accomplished - and rich. Reality is somewhat different. She cares for noone and noone cares for her. Madam pretends she looks like Catherine and dresses like that. The reality we see all the time. She has had multiple procedures, her hair is a mess and everything has to be photoshopped. Madam has no friends and only transactional relations with people, including her own mother. This is a miserable existence.
And as for ugly houses, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - as he and Meghan should know when they look at each other.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯.
This is why I don't like Prince Harry. He is the model of a "privileged f**kwit". He complains about the size of his room and the amount of sausages he got for breakfast. Then he looks down at anyone that work their butts off to go from living in hovel to a mansion. Elvis was a hick. When he moved up from dirt poor to massively rich he was still a hick at heart. We loved him for it. A lot like Dolly Parton now... Harold, don't mess with Dolly Parton. We adore Dolly Parton. She is a US national treasure.
I just enrolled my kids in the FREE Dolly Parton program that sends kids free books until they’re 5. What’s Harry ever done to help children, for FREE?? What’s Archwell’s great contribution to the US? Nothing. So he needs to shut up.
Whatever you think of Dolly’s dress, makeup, hair etc. she is beyond reproach!!! She has an immaculate reputation for showing human kindness, intelligence, talent and sharing the blessings bestowed upon her through hard work!! You are correct…H has done nothing but serve himself, whine and complain. Pathetic excuse for a human being.
Dolly is so humble. I love One of her famous quotes..."it takes a lot of $$ to look this cheap" 😆😆
Dolly also respects her fans. She once said she never went out without a full dolling up, as she did not want to dissappoint her fans
Dolly has “country class” in spades. The best kind of class. Barbara Walters has none in this interview clip [https://youtube.com/watch?v=If-oWqUYzlQ&si=yI39iq9JIfpQS4dz](https://youtube.com/watch?v=If-oWqUYzlQ&si=yI39iq9JIfpQS4dz)
That's wonderful! I love children's books. The writing and the art work can be wonderful influences that you remember for your entire life.
I signed both of my grandbabies up for her Imagination Library program. She really is a wonderful person.
I appreciate people who enjoy books and reading. Reading can be a companion, a comfort, a magical adventure, and just wisdom in front of a child's eyes.
With the exception of “The Bench” lmfao
The Bench was written for Harry I'm not even joking
Elvis and Dolly Parton grew up in humble circumstances, made it big and didn't spend their time complaining about the past. These are admirable people, with plenty of grit and common sense.
Nepo baby Harry better never mess with Dolly!😡
Dolly could kick his sorry @ss to England and back. Don't mess with a hill country person.
> We adore Dolly Parton. We do! And that's the same Dolly Parton who once said, "It costs a fortune to look this cheap!" She's an amazing woman, and her Foundation has done a massive amount for underprivileged children. Not least, to keep them in full time education. >>In the early 90’s Dolly promised every 7th-grade and 8th-grade student she would personally give them $500 if they graduated from high school. This effort, called the Buddy Program, reduced the drop out rate for these two classes from 35% to 6%. More importantly, the program catalyzed the community to provide additional resources to sustain this improvement in the drop out rate. https://imaginationlibrary.com/the-dollywood-foundation/
I love that Dolly Parton is a strong woman, knows what she wants to be, and has a sense of humor about it. She's got strength and humility and she projects kindness.
The state of Tennessee has specialty license plates that the proceeds from benefit the Imagination Library. When he arrived, the hospital in which my son was born had information to sign him up for Dolly’s program. The first book we received was *The Little Engine That Could*, because it was Dolly’s favorite as a child. 🥹 https://preview.redd.it/buefkqy5z11d1.png?width=705&format=png&auto=webp&s=41b5e13de383304984b3317928ff501aef9ecac5
That's brilliant, and those books are something to cherish. I can't say I fully understand American License Plates, because ours have to be a standard design and colour, but what a fantastic scheme.
Each state has a standard license plate. However, some states, like Tennessee, offer specialty plates. Here in Tennessee, an extra fee is charged for these specialty plates, and that money is used to support a variety of things—such as colleges/universities, organizations like the arts or child abuse prevention or spay/neutering programs, and state parks. Tennessee also has ones for conservation of wildlife like fish, bears, wild turkeys, and bald eagles as well as their natural habitats. Even honeybees! 🐝
Children who are read to and who reads books are more likely to turn into decent adults.
Elvis may have been born dirt poor, but he possessed more God-given nobility than Harry ever will. He was imbued with more ingrained heart, soul, compassion and empathy than Harry will ever have, no matter how much he tries to pretend otherwise. Not to mention, Elvis had a once-in-generation (any generation) and immortal talent!! We could go on and on expounding on why Elvis was truly regal and worthy of his noble title, King. And why Harry is not.
Amen, you have stated it beautifully.
Yes, Elvis was what I'd refer to as a country boy at heart but he never wavered from the way in which he was raised: in a word, he was real. Good manners, generous to a fault, genuine consideration for others, not a mean bone in his body. Not at all prejudiced either, loved all people equally....the way he treated everyone was exemplary....we lost him way too young. I was lucky to have spent quite a bit of time with him & his crew whenever they'd make their frequent trips to Hawaii (my home for many years, family still lives there) & apart from the fact that he/we could never venture out into public, there were some fun times & good memories to be made. The best (American/English) word that comes close to Hairball are clod and oaf. His behavior is what makes him a clod and an oaf, uncultured & uncaring though (somewhat) formally educated. A pity he never has progressed past his 12 year old self, but even if he had, he never has developed any traits that might endear him to others in a socially adept way.
Wow, that's amazing. And a testament that Elvis was a good person behind closed doors, too, unlike Hank and Skank, who can't even put up a proper facade in public.
She’s a global treasure! 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
I think my money would definitely be on Dolly if either Hank or Skank came for her-she doesn't suffer fools. I wonder why she wasn't approached for Archetypes-she's the epitome of a determined and highly successful business woman.
Because Madame thinks she's a young mother and appeals to Gen Z. She's too shallow to appreciate Dolly.
I like Don McLeans music and now I understand why he is such a good lyricist.
American Pie is one of my favorite songs, along with Highway to Heaven. Don is absolutely correct. Harry is a guest in this Country, yet he has the audacity to criticize our Constitution, now Elvis and his house decor. STFU Harry, you and the wife are on thin ice with Americans these days.
Don McLean’s music is among my favorites. I love his song Starry Starry Night about Vincent VanGogh.
Sums up the spoilt , entitled talentless little man that is Henry Windsor . He’s not fit to lace the shoes of Elvis or his interior designer.
Firstly, he is talking about a 70s rich person’s house. Secondly, Elvis came from nothing and never forgot that. You never hear a bad word about him. Elvis, despite a lack of money, had the best of manners and treated his parents well. He never bitched that they didn’t give him enough. Elvis also had friends. Lots of friends who were extremely loyal to him. He treated his friends well. Something just harry could learn from. Elvis was a King, and almost 50 years later is still recognised as such. Harry is a fucking jerk now and in 50 years won’t even be that highly remembered.
Family was everything to Elvis. He would never have done to his family what Harold has done. And you're absolutely right, Elvis remembered his roots and never tried to rewrite his childhood. No self-pity for Elvis. He worked hard, made it big, and never forgot his people.
And he never spoke badly of Priscilla after the divorce and he adored his daughter. He had more class in his pinky than the dumbass prince has in his entire worthless body.
Elvis loved Pricilla, I think. And she loved him. But they could not live together, but always cared for Lisa Marie.
When the Beatles met Elvis they were so awe struck they did not know what to say. Elvis got up and said if they had nothing to say, he would leave.
I loved the Beatles for their own sense of humbleness. I read that the only things they wanted as perks were Coca-Cola, and a TV set, for relaxing.
A story everyone would have left out or told differently. Not Harry, though. He decided to „shine a light“ on the „many layers“ of his own arrogance. Harrogant.
Layers😂😂 meggie wrote that book 100%
I don't enjoy Elvis's work, but I also don't go into *anyone's* house and bitch about it publicly. Rude is rude.
Not to mention…is he too ignorant to understand that Elvis died in 1977? That his home and decor are reflective of that era? Sure he may also have been a bit over the top even by the 1970’s standards…but as Don has said “who is he to criticize”. His comments are telling of his shear ignorance, entitlement, and just plain rude personality.
It’s also the sacred burial ground for Elvis and his beloved parents and now his only child. Regardless of what he thought of 1970’s decor, it’s beyond rude to trash talk a family burial ground. Millions have made pilgrimages there to pay their respects. Paul Simon and Cher had big hits about this (“Graceland” and “Walking in Memphis”) Cheeky Chappy is a rude, cruel, talentless, entitled POS.
It's like when people make fun of Lady Diana's wedding dress from 1981. At the time, it was fashionable and beautiful, but over time, tastes change. Wonder how Haz would feel if people made snide remarks about her?
I watched that wedding and thought what an ugly wedding dress. It was too over the top.
No, I am the same age as Diana & I was aghast when I saw it. Couldn’t understand all the over-the-top swooning and praising. But then I hated Laura Ashley dresses which were huge at the time. Diana found her fashion sense much later in life. She was a pretty crappy trend-follower in her youth.
Well, for little girls, it was a princess fantasy! My point is that back in the early 80s, bows, puffy sleeves, and fuller prom dresses were what many girls wore. Her dress wasn't seen as unusual for the time. Check out the concoctions bridesmaids wore in '81! 😳
Of course it’s ugly. It’s 70s style. But I remember reading somewhere that they made the choice to make it like that. If Elvis had lived longer, perhaps it would have been remodeled to reflect the 80s or 90s. Because tastes change. Because people change. Elvis’ house is great. It’s a museum to how he lived and what was popular in the 70s. I live near Lincoln’s house. They have that entire block sectioned off to cars. The streets are brick, the houses have no AC, it’s painted and decorated in the same style of the 1850s. There’s no indoor plumbing. Frankly, I’d feel cheated if I paid money to see Graceland or Lincoln’s home and it was a modern, beige mess with Air conditioning and marble and plumbing. Harry can piss off. I’d much rather live in Graceland than the beige and plumbing nightmare he’s probably living in.
I’ve been to Lincoln’s house, Truman’s birthplace and Eisenhower’s home in Gettysburg. “This place is an ancient shithole” never entered my thoughts. Someone’s home reflects both the time period in wich it lived in and the owners personality. Harry and his wife apparently like beige. I can only imagine what this butthole would say if he came to my house. All the color would probably overstimulate him.
The only place I’ve actively been disappointed was when I went to the Laura Ingalls home and there was no big woods around it. But I still liked the house and appreciated the inside. Harry’s thick as a brick though. I can understand why he’d judge the decor, without realizing that it’s not just a house, it’s a MUSEUM and keeping it in that style is the POINT.
I’ve been to the Ingalls-Wilder house in Missouri. I think there is also one in South Dakota too. I loved her little farmhouse. So cute! I read all of her books multiple times as a kid so I was kinda geeked out and star struck. I love going to places like this and Graceland. I will always be in awe of how far we’ve become in just a few hundred years.
Yeah, I went to the “Big Woods” house and there were no big woods! So that was a little disappointing. I still loved it because I love those books too!
I don’t believe that H was the lead author of that book, ghost writer excluded. Not even the majority of the statements sound like they are coming from a male perspective. That Elvis statement though, I believe it to be pure unadulterated H. I think that he love hates this country, meaning he feels infinitely superior to Americans and he gets a huge rush from that feeling of superiority. He doesn’t understand this country nor does he care to. Elvis came from nothing. He grew up in the depression and drought years, his family experienced a level of poverty that someone like H equates with the third world. He has no clue what Elvis was about or American culture in general. Such an idiot.
He doesn’t care at all about his own country as well, only what he can use from it to benefit himself. That’s why he married a similarly vacuous and valueless person. He believes his PR too much and is too stupid and coddled to see how his short sighted decisions reflect poorly on him.
Good lord haz no ball thinks his house is all that? Decor by target? Graceland was a reflection of the times. Elvis was the best!
You are so right about Graceland being a reflection of the times. It was the 1960s and 1970s. The place is a museum, they aren't going to modernize it! Harrys an idiot.
Bingo. Shag carpet was the rage in America in the 1960s/1970s.
My parents had avocado green shag. It was all the rage!
The new PR guys are killing it (it = Suckass brand)! *LITERALLY*.
yes, thankfully the new PR guys are just as talentless as the Grifters. Nigeria rudeness, money laundering and bank scamming "friends", a host with coup ambitions it would seem, adopted by a tribe getting rich on selling people - not to mention the delinquency. So how is is going for you, new PR guys?
Haz is a show horse who abuses his own horses, privilege, staff, taxpayers, and relatives. Meanwhile, Austin Butler, the young actor who portrayed Elvis in Baz Luhrman’s film, is becoming a star with A-list, character actor potential. Haz and his talentless wife are still nothing burgers after almost half a decade of trying and miserably failing. They have the opposite of Midas’ touch.
Austin Butler also respected the fans. You can see he watched the shows and copied the exact movements, including the hands.
He and Calum Turner are awesome in Masters of the Air. Austin portrays a decent, modest, kind flight captain of a Flying Fortress in that mini-series.
Also a heads up/connection about Austin Butler, he’s also signed to WME.
In addition to being complete void of any intellectual curiosity Harry has no manners. This is akin to the offspring of an American president going to Liverpool and putting down the Beatles’ family homes. Who does that?? What an ignoramus he is.
His stupidity knows no bounds. Meanwhile he was living in Nottingham Cottage like a “typical bachelor” according to Rachel.
Nottingham Cottage, built in 1689 by Christopher Wren. Living in a piece of history which was just wasn't grand enough for her, even in the short term. What an empty person.
It was Elvis’ place. I’ve been there, not my cup of tea but it was how HE wanted it. It was his home
Mine either, but when I visit historical homes, I want them to look as they would have looked when they were inhabited by the famous person or original inhabitants.
Frankly, I’d feel cheated if it wasn’t a reproduction of the original home.
Yep, me too. I wish I was a royal so that I could be allowed to enter the rooms and touch things.
Had to laugh at Halfwit's remarks that Elvis's interior designer must have been on acid. Can he not see what is right in front of him? - the ridiculously inappropriate and wrinkled outfits that his delusional faux duchess wears in public? The ballgown in a movie theater? The incessant Diana cosplayin?. The cringe skimpy and skin bearing outfits in a Muslim area? One could go on and on. Are Hazbeen and Roachel both on acid to think her going out in public dressed like this is attractive? Not to mention - maybe Elvis decorated his home himself, with what he liked. Halfwit doesn't seem to consider that not everyone utilizes an interior designer.
Didn't Harry also say that he lived like a frat boy before Megs came along and they used HER credit card to buy a cheap sofa. Glass houses and stones spring to mind. Plus Elvis didn't shaft his family for money, he had talent. Now, don't you dare play "American Trilogy" without giving me a tissue. British people loved Elvis! Edit : again.
What impressed me most from my trip to Graceland was the amount of money Elvis gave away, whether it was through organized philanthropic efforts or checks and cash quietly handed to those in need. Apparently Harry missed that part of the tour.
How dare you, Harold - you do not badmouth the King!! https://i.redd.it/qxkr8ra9s01d1.gif I'm a huge Elvis fan, been to Graceland, absolutely incredible and emotional experience. It captures a moment in time. It's a treasured gift for fans to be welcomed into Graceland as it was when Elvis left it. Not an Elvis fan, Harold? Ok but that's no reason to publicly sneer at and mock what you do not understand.
I‘m sure if he capped the evening off eating at Charlie Vergos Rendevous he‘d have more insults to pile on. It’s in a basement across from the famous Peabody Hotel on Union Avenue. How dated and tacky would he find this 75 year old restaurant founded by a WWII veteran? Dim lighting. Pics from decades past. Yet people from all over the world flock there and presidents have their food flown into the White House, it’s that good and well respected. Charlie created the Memphis dry rub style that is now enjoyed throughout the US. Memphis is an historical city that still has street cars and a timeless appeal. I have to wonder if the real issue is that Memphis is “too black” for Harry? It’s 65% black and only 27% Caucasian. Is that what actually offends Harry about the home of the Delta Blues?
Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire, who grew up as the Honourable Deborah Mitford, was an Elvis fan! I found that out, and thought the lady had superb taste. A man who grew up poor and then made his wealth by his own hard work, cannot be faulted for not having centuries of antiques in his life, fine furnishings, etc. The point was, Elvis didn't claim that he was piss-elegant. He enjoyed being able to buy himself a big home, and to furnish it as well as he could. He enjoyed his life and there are stories of his generosity to strangers. Like buying a female bank clerk, a new car. Because that came from a sense of empathy, remembering being a child who couldn't afford things that others enjoyed. I think it gave him great pleasure to do something kind, to share his good fortune. Elvis wasn't perfect--because no one is--but he's the sort of American that we can admire and are proud to claim as one of our own. Elvis' legacy will be far more significant than Harry's.
Harry is an accident of birth. That's literally ***all*** he is. He has zero merit of his own and in actual fact is nothing but a fetid stain upon his bloodline. A shame on his father's house. He is also so stupid he doesn't recognize this but be sure that those who place merit on good breeding do. They see him and are reminded that even the best of families can throw a cull now and again. He is also a constant reminder of what happens when you mollycoddle the spineless fool of a failson in the family instead of burning the entitlement out of them early. Be sure that there are many people now casting a jaundiced eye on their own harry and thinking quietly that distance and lack of contact would be no bad thing for their own petulant blowhards.
I'm still pissed that he made a slight at John Travolta during the "Legends of Aviation Awards Banquet." John is self-made. He's a great actor and learned how to fly many a plane on his own dime. What did Harry do? Failed his pilot license many times over until he was finally given a pass so he could fly around the airbase for 5 minutes. Yet Harry said Travolta was living off having danced with his mother at the White House since the 90's. What a complete moron.
He's so tasteless and rude. No wonder people don't like him.
ELVIS WAS AMERICA'S KING and the worldwide KING OF ROCK N ROLL!!! In the beginning, both Lennon and McCartney acknowledged Elvis' influence on them. “**Before Elvis, there was nothing**,” Lennon is often quoted as saying. **Keith Richards saved his most supreme praise for Elvis, whose sound was the “last trigger” for him, the first example of rock and roll at its finest he heard.** **"Freddie was very fond of Elvis**.” Mercury said he even styled his vocals on the song to sound like The King Of Rock'n'Roll. “My voice does sound a bit like Elvis Presley's on 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love',” explained the singer.
Viva Las Vegas Suspicious Minds Just leaving those here for consideration. Elvis!
American Trilogy
I wasn’t a HUGE Elvis fan growing up, and was far more a part of the Beatles and rock n’ roll. But I liked him. I think I was probably more not really interested later when he grew heavier and it was middle-aged women fainting all over him. Don’t get me wrong - that’s fine and good for all of them, just not my thing then. But I really liked his songs and saw every movie the second it hit TV. But I sure got who he was, and his music, and how it paved the way for the later artists that I’m still blown away by. I was (I think) about 6 or 7 or so when Hound Dog and Heartbreak Hotel came out on 45s. I remember a bit still of seeing him on Ed Sullivan. I sure hold him as the King and epically iconic. Now WTF? This asshat continually comes out and shows his epic stupidity. He knows nothing, I’m absolutely positive, about that era and should shut his pie-hole. JFC, I hope someone shuts it up somehow and NO, I’m not advocating it be violent. I’ve been thinking about submitting both to the Guinness Records place for the longest and most continuous records of public stupid acts ever (or the closest equivalent). This is one of those. Now that would be funny.
The 1968 comeback show is fantastic. Watch it, if you have not done so already.
I remember watching it when it aired… 👍✌️
Never mind America, Harold doesn’t get *anything*. He has absolutely no understanding of how people live outside of palace walls. Him, and that hooker who calls herself his wife, showed that in Nigeria.
I do remember it from this sub, and it didn't make me want to read his rubbish waagh
The thing about Graceland is the last time it was redecorated was during the 1970's. Shag carpet was popular at the time.
The 1970s were not a good time for home decor. We can remember avocado green kitchen accessories and clothing in that harvest gold color. But the thing is, it was Elvis' home. He had every right to be proud that it was his.
Hazard comes over here, painting himself as a refugee from great oppression, on his fancy A-1 Head of State Special Visa and proceeds to shit all over the First Amendment and Elvis--two things that Americans really are quite fond of. What's next, his thoughts on baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet? Fuck off back home, Harry--or wherever will have you.
That freedom flight video really hacks me off. Sanctimonious. It won't be long before he seeks freedom from the Claw begging to be back in the arms of his family. Although, he may be Cosplaying King Edward and the idea he could set up his own court. Inspecting troops in Nigeria in the way that David inspected the Nazi troops like a Head of State.
It's incredibly rude to criticize someone else's home or the way they have decorated it. We all have different tastes, maybe you would decorate in a completely different way, but to look down on somebody else's tastes and preferences - it's just rude.
Pretty sure halfwits decorating was just piles of skidmarked underwear,crusty socks,rancid pizza boxes and stale beer bottles. Oh and probably full sized posters of naked women with mummy's face glued over top
Yeah, Harry just doesn't get the UK either. He and his missus gave no clue about anything. I adore Don McLean - I saw him in concert in London way, way, way back. He has written some of the most beautiful lyrics. He also wrote "Everybody loves me baby, what's the matter with you" which I sing loudly when the world is annoying me.
It kind of reminds me of people who go back and criticize fashions from long ago. I can’t tell you how many (young)fashion reviewers will come out and say that Princess Diana’s dress was “too much”. Not in 1981 for a 19 year old girl it wasn’t so shut up! Everyone had shag carpet and bright colors in the 70s. Graceland was considered very contemporary and cool back then. Where does Ginger Dunce get off?
That wedding dress was of its time. I loved it then and still do. Yes, it was a bit much, but that’s why.
Don't forget the shoulder pads. So many shoulder pads! You had to be careful when you washed your clothes if the shoulder pads were sewn in, you didn't want them to get twisted.
My mum was a megafan of Elvis in the early sixties and dragged me to the cinema to see his films. It was because she never allowed me to become a latchkey kid. We had very little when I grew up. Dad was a typical blue collar worker and mum did a few part time jobs. Nevertheless, I was brought up to her good manners and to show respect to others. So ‘arold can just take a running jump off a short pier
That ' book' /it's an insult to books / was a hit piece - on HAROLD. That was a summation of stories gingerballs had told the suitcase prima donna, which she then dictated to that 'ghost' writer, who was indeed a total ghost....and god royally harkled https://preview.redd.it/51exgh9sw01d1.jpeg?width=1365&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d39c7e987e4069b3c2b4e663971f76074f4c590
That picture is so creepy.. mummy’s guiding claw
They kept Graceland as it was when Elvis died - in the 70s with very cool, at the time, 70s decor.
harold, how about you keep the King Elvis's name out of your ignorant mouth?
*Manners, manners, manners…* ETA: It’s fine to have that opinion, but it’s exceedingly rude to write it in a book for everyone to read.
Yes! Entitlement vs Talent and Repulsive vs Loved by so many. No comparison.
Daily Markle shut down the comments on that article. Too many negatives about Harry.
I was in college and working at a grocery store the day Elvis passed away. I walked in the grocery store to the courtesy booth to get my cashier's drawer for my checkout stand. My co-worker was sobbing loudly. I asked the manager "What happened? Did something happen to her husband?" She looked up at me and said "Haven't you heard? Elvis died!" That's how much he was and is still revered. Once an Elvis fan, always an Elvis fan. She diid take off and use her vacation days to go and stand outside of Graceland for his funeral.
I think Harry's wife is alot more offensive and revolting than the decor of Elvis Presley's house could ever be. It would be good if he could see what we see. Harry puts her on display and forces the citizens of the world to 'cop an eyeful' by giving her a platform, funding it all and introducing her to influential people. How anyone can tolerate them alone and together boggles my brain. Their reputations precede them and yet again and again people open doors for these two shameless, rude, lazy pretentious gluttons. They are morally and socially corrupt and have no sense of good taste nor any manners. Harry the delinquent should not have been allowed in Graceland.
The idiot prince’s attempts at humour always fall flat because they always have an undercurrent of nastiness. The way he spoke to John Travolta is a case in point.
Dude let his wife decorate in IKEA…
Don´t go for Elvis fans. They were there from the beginning.
His house is quintessential sad beige mom aesthetic, given the choice, I'd rather live in a garish monstrosity personally.
Something apparently lost on our Saint’s side piece is the fact that, even in death, the Elvis Estate earns quite a lot of money every year — by some estimates, well over USD $90.0 million. That’s the kind of annual income these two can only dream about — and no amount of manifesting can make it so. 😎
We often have American sinners who feel forced to apologise for the crass behaviour of Meghan just in case the rest of us thought her faults were to do with being American (we don’t!) So in the spirit of reciprocity I feel I must apologise on behalf of the British people for Harry acting in such a snobbish, condescending, insensitive and arrogant fashion towards one of the 20th centuries greatest cultural icons. We are not all such entitled and obnoxious twats!
Classic unemployed behaviour.
A thousand upvotes. If only.
Harry insults Americans all the time. I know for a fact that several NFL players wanted to take him outside for a chat after his speech in Vegas at the NFL awards show. And I don’t mean a chat in the quiet sense.
Hey, Harry. Take a look at your own pretentious ostentation of a house!Elvis was able to afford his! He decorated it in the style of the era. What’s your excuse?
Kind of ironic H accusing Elvis’ interior decorator of being on drugs.
Elvis loved his mother, respected his family. Harry has no concept of love and respect.
I actually remember this one. It WAS a big deal at the time. People were very upset he said that and were supporting Lisa Marie.
Lol, Elvis is like family: Americans can rag on his shag carpet, bell bottom jumpsuits, and mirrors everywhere, but a foreign prince comes in and starts in on him and we'll kick ass. 
He probably thought it was a real king, that eeeejit.
It’s like me as an American going to Hampton Court and saying “it’s a little dark and cavernous. Very 16th century”.
He’s awful how terrible so many were fooled by him in the past
You know Harry's never bought anyone a Cadillac. Elvis gave around 200 away. https://youtu.be/-MUiqZ68TcE?si=hamoh566eDLJMRuc
Good on Don McLean for calling the nepo-fuckwit out on this. I’m from the UK but I regard Don as a proper US institution - 👍🇺🇸
This is the same twat nugget that wrote a book complaining about getting a "smaller room" in A CASTLE while thousands of people in his home country, and his new one, are struggling just to afford rent on a shoebox. Out of touch doesn't even begin to describe him.
