yeah, it's like comic relief, live aid and children in need etc. They all benefit from the exposure while expecting ordinary people to part with their cash

Yeah, like some of the comments say, Oprah alone could donate $100m and it wouldn't affect her in the slightest.

Who do these wealthy celebrities think they are?…do they think they make themselves look good reaching out to humble people who don’t have a pot to piss in to donate money or quit their jobs if it’s affecting their mental health whilst they sit in their million pound homes without a worry in the world….sickening.

They've got to do something after the whole industry went on strike about pay.

Eh though, absolute fannies, the pair of them..


The worlds changing rustic, people are waking up to all this bull****. When you think about it, covid and the lockdown has shown us what the elite are really like...

I seriously and happily wouldnt watch one more film now in order for these control freaks to get their commupence..bloody in a bad mood now.

Twats.

Aren't you a crown-thumper Rustic? You have no issue with it when it's William and Kate tottering around Africa then coming back to the UK to belch about how humbling it all was and how the UK public should support their charities, whilst they wave from their gold-laden carriages. It's all gravy then, isn't it? But not for mudblood Hollywood celebs I suppose ... just inbred English toffs .

Never seen them begging the public for donations...The Royals dedicate a lot of their time visiting Countries, Cities and towns and meeting victims of all kinds that then highlight charities to help these people.
Quite a different scenario dont you think?...

Harry and Megan are more in line with celeb endorsements of charities. The royals are not so upfront as begging for money, and it's quite a bit different to call 05678900000 now and pledge all your available cash or be branded a heartless bastard

Smoke and mirrors. You could whittle a carrot into a tiny Statue of David... if you then chop it up and boil it, it's still a bloody carrot.

by your definition everyone who mentions charity is as bad as Oprah and the rock, which is obviously not the case. I get you want to make an argument, but i am no royal fan, and there is a striking difference between the way royals handle charities and the way celebs do it and you are being disingenuous if you don't recognise that

Again - there's a difference between how a chef chops a carrot and how my 11 year old chops a carrot, but at the end of the day you're still eating carrots.

Your error here is mis-remembering anywhere that I said any of this is bad. I don't think it's "bad" that the Royals support charities (if they must exist, it's the least they can do) or that celebrities support charities. I find the methods of both ham-fisted but each to their own ... the Royal methods seem less "dignified and refined" once you see them for what they are (PR) but ultimately wherever/whenever money is getting where it needs to go, that's a positive.

So I don't think the Royals are "bad" for doing charity.

I don't think The Rock and Oprah are "bad" for doing charity.


...I just think they're exactly the same... and noted a very vocal Royal-fan being very critical of celebrity charity. Which is just sheer hypocrisy.

People who were born into the jobs of charity ambassadors handle it differently to those who weren't?

How surprising.

Yes the Royals know what it's like to walk in the shoes of the impoverished . You guys are a riot, literally "It's bad if it's anyone except the hyper-privileged hereditary elite". Forget brainwashed, brainscrubbed.

Funny how you don't ever have this opinion on Harry and Meghan when they preach lifestyle to everyone as they sit in their millionaire pad...and Harry tells us to leave our jobs if we are unhappy...

Obviously the Royals dont know what its like to walk in their shoes but they visit and try to understand the devastation and see it with their own eyes...unfortunately your own eyes are not allowing you to see that.
