Do You Hear That Sound? It's Harry And Meghan Asking For Charitable Donations Instead Of Gifts, And Me Vomiting
(CNN) Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are asking people who wish to send them a wedding gift to consider donating to one of several selected charities instead, Kensington Palace announced Monday.
"Many of these are small charities, and the couple are pleased to be able to amplify and shine a light on their work."

Oh my god please stop. I get it. They’re the lamest people alive. You don’t need to give me any more evidence proving that point. I’ll give them credit, they are leaning 100% into making me the most frustrated person alive. These aren’t two people who are half asking their lameness, they’re going all in. I don’t know whether that makes me hate them more or less. But I do know that not knowing makes me hate them more.
Yes, I understand that these two are rich as sin. I get it. In any other case, I would applaud something like this. Take a bunch of rich people who don’t need to be gifted a Vitamix and send that money to a deserving charity instead. And you know what? If Prince Harry had proposed with the slightest shred of decency and effort then they could do that! But he didn’t. He didn’t and now they’re in a pickle. You don’t have the luxury of proposing like a bum and then sending all of your gifts to charity and get away with it.
This is also for your own good! You’ve got to appreciate all of the nice things about marriage while you still can! You think being married to royalty is going to be fun? It will not be. Do you have any idea how many boring traditions you’re going to be a part of Meghan? So many. So so many. It’s true with any marriage but it’s even more the case with royalty. You’re throwing away all of the fun stuff and jumping right into the fucking lions den. You’re kissing fun goodbye and not even letting its freak flag fly one last time. Very bold choice. I’m not saying I don’t believe in love, but I am saying that three years down the line when you’re at your 900th crown polishing ceremony, munching on bullshit fruitcake, you’re going to wish you had more than some moral superiority and a boring proposal story to remember the good times.
