Why were so many of Harold's cousins including current Kiwi/Māori BRF family members in LoS - excluded from the Harkle's wedding?

Hi All,

One of the issues that came up at the time of the Harkle's wedding - was that apart from only Harry's closest cousins - such as Princess Eugenie and Beatrice, were invited to the wedding, a large part of his family was also excluded. As we know - the wedding was largely lavishly paid for by (now) King Charles III - and there are many traditions and an extremely long standing one is that the wider cousinage are invited to Royal events. This caused quite a lot of upset apparently. The late Queen Elizabeth II was very close to her cousins, for example, such as the Duke of Gloucester and his wife, who are active working Royals, and their children and grandchildren, who represent the Queen and put in many decades of hard work to supporting her, and they had a close relationship.Great Granddaughter of King George V, Daughter of Duke of Gloucester (Queen's Cousin), Lady Dalvina Windsor, her Kiwi/Māori husband Gary Lewis, and their two children (both in the LoS) were excluded from the Harkle's 2018 wedding.

For example, the late Queen was close to her cousins, such as for example the Duke of Gloucester, who is a full time working Royal, some of whom live on the Royal estate - and so they are always invited to, and seen at important Royal events - for example, at the chapel at wedding of Prince William and Princess Catherine, the Trooping of the Colour, the Queen's funeral and so on.Granddaughter of the Duke of Gloucester, Senna Kowhai Lewis - with her cousins Prince George and Princess Charlotte at Trooping the colour.

There were many celebrities - some of which openly admitted to having met the Harkles once, who were sitting in the innermost chapel. In total 600 guests were invited to the ceremony and reception. They also invited over 2,000 other individuals - some random members of the public - were invited to attend outside the chapel at Windsor castle.

As a New Zealander/ person from Aotearoa, I find it upsetting and disrespectful that our 'kiwi'/Māori Royals were excluded from the Harkle's wedding - especially since it was a public event and they are normally invited to all the public events.

Current BRF members excluded by MM and Prince Harry - including BRF members of 'mixed race'

I also find it frustrating that MM would claim to be the first 'person of colour' marrying into the BRF. While there are also historical examples this, there are already current members of the BRF from different cultures. For example, the family of Lady Davina Windsor (who was born 10th in line to the throne) - i.e. the same current place as Beatrice's first born.

In 2004, Lady Davina Windsor married handsome Māori bulding contractor, master builder, sheep shearer (and surfer) Gary Lewis (he is also nephew to famous author Whiti Ihimaera). They were married for many years. I really liked how they both seemed so down to earth and hard working, also how they named their two children traditional Māori names (Tane Mahuta - named after the sacred Kauri tree) and Senna Kowhai - Kowhai is a beautiful Spring blossom, who are also in the line of succession.

Long before anyone had heard of MM, the Queen happily gave her consent to the marriage, and apparently, he was widely liked and warmly welcomed and described by his parents in law, as a wonderful catch.

Sadly, the cultural differences became too much, and they aren't together anymore (separating in 2019), but they seem to be amicably separated. The family are still part of all official Royal events for instance, the late Queen's funeral and Trooping the Color.

The whole family seems so normal and nice, it's not easy to find information as they certainty didn't seem to court publicity. I still think it was not nice/disrespectful of the Harkles to exclude them (and the other cousins) from the wedding.

It does also make me wonder if the Harkle's decision to exclude them from their wedding was due to the fact that it pointed out that MM is most definitely not the first person of mixed heritage to marry into the BRF (which already includes family members with British family royal blood).

So one of the criticisms of ‘First Kill’ I’ve seen from people is the acting performances. I’ve seen several critics and viewers say that the acting isn’t very good. That the actors don’t give very convincing performances of their respective characters. I want to address this right now in defence of a very skilled main cast and I have to ask where in the hell there is any on-screen evidence that the actors aren’t very good at performing in this show.

Let’s start with the last episode. Did you not see those last few scenes? Everybody had me crying - but especially Aubin Wise who plays Talia Burns. Her character pleading to both Jack and Apollo to spare HER son’s life. And then her reassuring Theo that nothing has changed between them: she still loves him with her whole heart. She is still his mother and she will still protect him and still be there for him. The writing for that scene had me in tears on its own. But Aubin’s performance fucking BROKE ME. I was hysterically crying. She made me feel so much for her and Theo in such a short period of time. She owned that last episode - well and truly. She was incredible!

That’s just ONE of the actors on this show that are really fucking great actors. That can really PERFORM.

Let’s move on to Gracie Dzienny who plays Elinor Fairmont. Specifically in the scene where she goes to see her Dad when he has just been severely wounded by the Hunters and he asks her to promise him to help her mother and not let Davina “run rodshod” over her. Elinor’s immediate response being to nod her head in agreement and then a split second later refuse to agree because she knew what he actually meant by that. It was his way of saying goodbye and she wouldn’t let it happen. Her voice sounding cracked with grief and yet still strong at the same time. The expression on her face looking vulnerable, panicked and determined. How could you call that bad acting?

And how about our two leading ladies; Sarah Catherine Hook and Imani Lewis in their break up scene? You’re going to tell me that intense interaction wasn’t convincing? That they didn’t convey emotion or you didn’t feel any emotion from it? Come off it!

There’s been some dumb reasons and excuses to criticize this show but that any of the main cast are bad actors is the worst one I’ve come across yet. Their performances have been fantastic! Especially given they were working with severe time constraints. To make you see, hear and feel so much from their performances in such a short period of time is skill.

It’s at this point I have to put the criticism down to prejudice of teen drama shows and not giving it a fair chance because the preconceived filter is always on. Great acting is all about conveying emotion, sensation, feeling and most importantly authenticity of that respective character they are playing. And, for me, every single member of the main cast in ‘First Kill’ hit the mark every time they were on-screen. But the few scenes in the show I mentioned was when I was struck and captivated by the actor’s skill the most. So for me, this particular criticism is absolute bullshit!

Movers shakers likers and haters! by u/IconicAnimatronic

Movers, shakers, likers, and haters!

Movers, shakers, likers, and haters!

It's odd that many accounts originally in support of the RF have either changed allegiance lately or have disappeared completely.

Although there are vanishing SS members, too. Even more bizarre, some SS have gone silent, and yet others have doubled down with utterly baseless and unbelievable nonsense. For some, their papable principle is not, it seems, to support our Saint, with receipts, but to mire themselves in whataboutisms. And while a whataboutism may be true, it doesn't negate any argument, whatsoever. Whataboutism just means someone else did soething, too. Not that your idol isnt guilty for their behaviour.

There are Optimistic Nostalgics who can't let a 12 year old losing his mum, or a 27 year old cheeky chap, drunk and naked in Vegas, or even a Nazi armband wearing Harry go. It's the boy they knew then that they support, not the bitter, spiteful man he's become.

The SS are far from close-knit in terms of their support. If they're necessarily fans at all. They seem to have many different factions with really no unity at all. The Anti-Monarchists only appear to support JH and the ILBW because they're causing detriment to the RF. Detriment which can be twisted to have facts rewritten, to go alongside blatant untruths. These people believe the Monarch's property, which he agrees to allow profits be taken by the Treasury, can simply be taken from him if we were to become a Republic. That was never the agreement. The property is still his as it was never given up. Only the hereditary revenues were exchanged for a civil list (now Sovereign Grant) payment.

However, this Republican, Anti-Monarchy group has found extra numbers from the SS to add to their voice. Shame then, that so many are American, and don't count!

Of course there are The Trolls seeking out comments from or about other Royals that they can disrupt, make threats, or simply just try to make it about their Quean. And the Bots pages and pages of whom post the same comment. Word for word. Hashtag for hashtag. An attempt to manipulate the system and get the hashtag trending.

Some believe MM to be the first biracial member of the royal family. Despite the fact an American genealogist established that Queen Charlotte, the wife of George III, was directly descended from the illegitimate son of an African mistress in the Portuguese royal house. Despite the fact that Gary Lewis, a Māori, married Lady Davina Windsor and fathered 2 biracial children; Senna Kōwhai Lewis and Tāne Mahuta Lewis (26th in LoS at birth). Both children are welcomed with love at RF events. Going back further, Queen Philippa of Hainault, who was born in 1310 in Valenciennes in France had Black Moorish ancestry. She married Edward of York, who just before their marriage in 1328, became King Edward III of England. These Anti-racist supporters conveniently forget the mixed raced marriages and their future heirs from across Europe and the aristocracy. They forget MM was given privileges no other royal girlfriend had been allowed, and given projects and patronages very close to her heart. She was welcomed whole-heartedly, yet this faction of the squad will find racism in everything. Yes, even you, saying you ate cornflakes for breakfast. They are still using one man's (Danny Baker's) disgusting and distasteful picture to cast aspersions on the entire British media, and all British citizens. It was one man! Most Britons themselves were appalled by this one man's post. The other "got ya" headlines they spout, often originated in America. And the apparent use of the N word in the comments section is jumped upon. But it's not a word that the British use. And whilst these comments may be made in response to a British tabloid story, comments are open worldwide.

Then they often forget that the humanitarian work, the sorority, the friends and boyfriends, in fact her own CV, showed little support to those who thinks she represents them. They forget that the award accepted for fighting racism in the RF was made moot by JH claiming they'd never called them that, or said the family were. Indeed, the late Queen symbolically danced with Ghana's president Kwame Nkrumah at a farewell ball in 1961 and during her reign many colonised countries were given back their independence and made republics. It's telling, though, that many remained in the Commonwealth.

The Prince's Trust, set up in the early 70s with his own money (severance pay from the Navy) has helped many BAME individual and entrepreneurs. It supports the Black Pound Marketplace to celebrate and showcase young, Black owned businesses, who set up their businesses with support from The Trust’s Enterprise programme. It was also one of the first to lend support to the BLM movement. The Black Pound initiative has helped to send over 30 young people in Nepal, Zimbabwe, and India to school. In the UK, Cordell has supported over 5,000 black and minority ethnic students, delivering resilience training, inspirational talks and entrepreneur workshops in schools and youth settings. He got his own break through the Prince's Trust Enterprise Programme.

Meanwhile they support someone who's turned her back on her entire Black family. Lied that her children wouldn't get titles or security because of their race. Uses the white colonial title with aplomb. And of course, there were rumors swirling around that MM got a black journalist fired because her interview didn’t go as planned. The pièce de résistance? A visit to Uvalde using brown children as a PR opportunity.

And as for ARO, who is its target audience? I'd hazard a guess, it's none of her fans. Whichever faction of that muddled group they are.

They now seem to be trying to organise yet another planned attack. These are adults. The negativity and disruption they cause. The death threats. The bullying and harassment. Do they honestly think this is the right was to bring discussion and discourse to the table? Especially with a less than coherent group!
