Okay, a) I can’t read “Joffrey” without seeing “Joffrey punch-me-in-the-face Bratheon” from GoT. b) IF Joffrey & Ava where there, then omg I’d be ashamed to be a sugar! That’s not a point you’d want to highlight, because THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN BURIED SOMEWHERE BACK BY THE ENTRANCE! O_O How could anybody find this a redeeming act? When Oprah, George & Amal C, Serena + husband(!? wtf!), +MORE, were seated right across the RF? These are people neither of them know, some never even actually met. FFS

The Harkles don’t understand that if you choose your family over the A-list, it means you don’t need the A list. You are so far above it, you can reject the A list. It means I don’t need you, I’d rather have my mailman. That’s superior! If you are desperately trying to rope in A listers,you have shown your ass. It’s like that old Churchill saying, we know who you are, now we’re just talking price.

EXACTLY.

This why rolled my eyes so hard during Will & Kate’s US tour, but at least that one was official receptions and it felt like it was the celebs wanting to meet Will & Kate and not the other way around.

This is obviously the Slutsexes kowtowing to a bunch of celebs they barely know and letting them use the wedding for self-promotion and merching.

What this wedding shows is that the royal family is open for business, but not in a great way. It’s widely known that it’s difficult to get access to the BRF, whether you’re a British designer or a celeb hoping to mix with them at an event. I use to work in the celeb branding/events industry in London and there’s no way any kind of money would’ve got you into W & K’s wedding.

Large charity donations by a mega celeb + repositioning M & H’s brand as international, well connected humanitarians = win win for both parties. I love a good wedding, but this wedding reeks of tack and vulgarity. I thought that the fake floral arch was actually quite beautiful but couldn’t help thinking that it was there as a ‘step and repeat’ backdrop for celeb arrivals!

This is not modernising the monarchy. Mark my words, there’ll be plenty of pay-to-play scandals to come.


THIS.

A lot of people suspected that money could buy you access, but it had to be A LOT OF MONEY and it provided very little access and you had to be super discreet about it. 

Now they are merching cupcakes and private clubs and cars and middle-market Canadian jewelry and it’s A LOT more obvious. They did a freaking Jaguar ad!!!! Plus the guest list and seating placement, of course.

And, yes, it was deliciously vulgar. The whole point of the BRF is that they are supposed to be above tacky product placements and celebrity back-scratching. Harry and Meghan, however, are definitely not above any of that crap.

I find it ironic that a girl that went to private schools and basically a private university and was in a sorority known by many as “Visa Visa MasterCard” because of its trust fund kids and snobby girls has sold herself as little orphan Annie to the RF & now the world. Not only that, but most sorority girls I know find friends for life in those houses. Yet she appears not to have any friends prior to life in Toronto?

She ditched everyone.

wanted to put a picture but did not work. At w and k wedding, family and Friends got thé best Seats. How do you justify putting Oprah and clooneys etc before your mother’s brother and sister. Especially when you have no qualms using said mother for your pr. Diana would be mortified at thé end of thé day she was still an aristo what they did IS so rude. 


Thanks for sending this in!

The Cambridge wedding was notable precisely because you had commoners sitting somewhat as equals with the royal family. That’s why it got so much praise as a family wedding.

The Sussex wedding is notable because the friends and family were all superseded by celeb guests. It was very Hollywood. That’s Meg’s environment. She ditched her normal family and friends for the C-list celeb circle of Suits in 2011 and now she’s ditching her C-list celeb circle for an A-list celeb circle.

That’s the Hollywood game.

Do we know why the minor royals weren’t invited? Amelia, Frederick, etc… I’m surprised the Queen agreed to that

duchessofostergotlands:

The guest list was very much Meghan and Harry’s choice- same with william and kate when it came to family and friends- although I would put this one solely at Harry’s feet as it’s not her responsibility to invite his family. I honestly have no idea why they weren’t invited. They seem as surprised as anyone else. I’d be really hurt if I was the Gloucesters or Kents, had given my entire life to serve the monarchy, and my children who grew up with the boys weren’t invited but people they’ve met twice were. I get that they should be allowed a lot of control over their wedding guest list but he is a prince and it was partly taxpayer funded- costing more than any wedding in a long time- so I think that not recognising the families of lifelong public servants and instead inviting almost strangers is kind of cold of Harry.

keepingupwiththebananadrama:

I just wanna point out that there were a few spots at the wedding. Some of them were oprah, the bishop, her mom, some people from Harry’s charity, and serena. Besides that all of the black people that had anything to do with the wedding were WORKERS, including the one who was opening their car doors at the church.

I feel sorry for Doria since Megs wouldn’t even invite any of Doria’s siblings. Doria’s family was literally shunned so Clooney and other celebrities could sit on Meghan’s side of the aisle.
