Anyone in the US? Did you watch the Meghan interview?

[Tankflybosswalkjam]

Apparently it’s already been broadcast!

@ChocolateSantaisthebestkind

If Kate had a vile side it would be public knowledge by now. It isn't because she doesn't. I'd bet my last penny that quite a few county set and aristo mothers and grandmothers were just waiting for a story that might have taken her out of the running for the main prize and would have made sure to tell the world of any indiscretion.

the press wasn't shy of accusing her, and her sister, of nasty and bullying behaviour, towards family members, waitresses and god knows who. There was LOTS of nasty stories about Waity Kaity (and other delightful nicknames)

I'd take everything with a massive pinch of salt. Meghan was accused of sending emails at 5am. So what? She was never accused of ^expecting a reply at 5am!". You send emails when convenient to you, and people reply when convenient to them..
That's just an example.

“It couldn’t possibly be that William and Harry had some kind of falling out and that’s why they started spending less time together”

I keep reading this and I still don’t understand why people think this way. I don’t think they had a falling out. Just that William is married with three kids and Harry is married with a child and another child coming. Could it be that they are just busy with their own family? It’s like like they can go back and live their bachelor life again.

@Roussette

Or wearing and then lying about earrings given you by a murdering misogynist

Sigh.

There is plenty out there if you weren't blinkered that puts it into context.
'The crown prince gave the earrings to the Queen during a 3-day visit to London in March 2018. MeghanMarkle has never met MBS & was not present at the diplomatic lunch where the earrings were gifted.
They were property of the Crown jewels & owned by the Queen, who loaned them out for Meghan's use...the CIA concluded that the crown prince was involved in the killing two days after Meghan last wore the earrings.

Chocolate... any comments on Sophie Wessex? Two lots of necklaces and earrings from the Bahraini RF when their human rights record was appalling. Gifted and accepted by her after the embarrassing fake sheikh thing.

From The Telegraph:

"All jewellery gifted from one royal to another – such as the earrings from bin Salman – becomes official property of the Queen. It is believed that these were gifted to Meghan from the Saudi royal and chosen for her royal tour – but everyone knew where they came from, and it is understood she was warned against wearing them as their provenance might raise concerns."

She first wore them 3 weeks after the murder and again a month later. At both of these times the international press had run stories alleging world leaders suspected MBS involvement.

3 days before the dinner the Saudi Govt had admitted involvement in the killing.

Prior to all this in 2016 M had been photographed with a leading Saudi women's rights activist at the One Young World summit so was presumably well aware of the dubious human rights record of the Saudi Govt - especially towards women.

On that basis alone I would have thought she might have been concerned about wearing them.

Lawyers representing H&M have not denied that they were aware of the provenance of the earnings.

Buckingham Palace aren't the least bit worried Meghan will say anything nasty about Kate, the disingenuous bastards that the Palace are.

They know perfectly well that Meghan and Harry know of the Rose Hanbury affair, something Harry was reportedly very upset about (as he's known Kate a long time and Diana was treated similarly) and no doubt a feminist would consider Willo public playing away with one of Kate's own set, and her limited options to divorce and keep her small children, to be deeply archaic and unpleasant.

In other words, Harry and Meghan are likely highly sympathetic to Kate's position - a gilded cage.

It was rumoured that Kate was considering divorce. We all remember the "flinch" video, where she jumped from Will's touch. Had she made enquiries, her prospects for a fair settlement and custody of her children would have been made starkly plain to her.

Therefore, Buckingham Palace aren't worried about what Meghan will say of Kate.

BuckPalace are shitting themselves worried about what Harry will disclose about William and his conduct towards Kate.

@MrsTabithaTwitchit, maybe. But being a woman, it is hard to see your husband dallying with other women. And your brother in law besotted with his wife, as a stark contrast.

And being queen is far down the road, so no real power at the moment to compensate.

You don’t know that any of those rumours are true, it’s just tittle tattle

We're expected to revere the Royals and 'know our place'. That's evidently not Meghan's style.

Evidently? Really? I asked this on Twitter the other day. In the days since she became known as Harry’s Girlfriend, then engaged and once married, what exactly did she do, in public that we have actual evidence of, that suggests she didn’t respect the royal family, their traditions or her place in it? Anything that was different to how Catherine behaved?

They could have modernised the royal family, they didn't get the opportunity

Sorry, but I don't think anyone would be able to modernise the RF - because despite endless claims to do so it suits them just fine to carry on in a feudal manner with the serfs knowing their place

This is why I cringe the instant someone's presented as "a breath of fresh air"; it never ends well, regardless of who's concerned

Could it be that they are just busy with their own family? It’s like like they can go back and live their bachelor life again.

Correct. That could be it too. But it doesn’t have to be that Kate or Meghan had some kind of jealous rage and hated each other. I see that more often than any suggestion that some dynamic had changed between the Princes.

@ Sprining

You're right a lot of people who work with Megan say she's nice and cooperative. She's a human being like any other.

As to Kate potentially not being so nice to Megan when she joined the RF what's so difficult to believe? It doesn't make her a bad person but lets get real here. It's possible and possibly likely.

Sooo does anyone know where to stream it?!

Now you're speculating and accusing a person of something he may not have done . Don't think that's very wise wrt Talk Guidelines here. Pretty disgusting, too.

Precisely this. Any meaningful 'modernisation' of the RF would have to involve abolishing the whole thing which the Royals patently don't want to do. Imagine coming from a long-line of work shirkers, believing that by virtue of birth in a certain family you are somehow different/special and are elevated and treated as such.

And here we go ... the can of worms with "Investigations". Bullying claims alleged against Prince Andrew.

Like I said before I'm wondering if the Queen is even in control of the senior courtiers set on ridiculously hounding H&M... because this was not difficult to see coming.

@Snog

Why did MM think it was a good idea to marry someone who dressed up as a nazi at parties? She must surely have at least known this fact before she married Harry.

I'm not convinced that either of Meghan or Harry has anything to say that I would find if interest, nor for that matter the Queen.

Washing the palace dirty laundry has been done to death already.

Not only harry, but the Queen Mother and the Queen were doing Nazi salutes in their garden...It was on a film..I was appalled. I'll try and find a still...

Videos on you tube for everyone to see....
Here's a still of RF of past supporting Nazis

I think that anyone expecting exciting revelations or accusations in this interview of the kind that "Buckingham Palace" "are shitting themselves about" are going to be sorely disappointed.

Oh I’m sure it will impact potty-carrying and put-toothpaste-on-my-brush Charles and angry William too. Probably Philip has some memorable moments too

It is good though that modern employment rights are making their way to Buckingham palace

And here's the still.
I found it independently of ''the Sun'' on old Holocaust footage.

@oakleaffy to say that the queen (who was less than 10 yo) and QM doing Nazi salutes before 1939 meant that they supported Hitler and all the Nazis did is unfair. Many Britons and British politicians were fairly blase about it all before the late 30s. Remember Antisemitism and Eugenics were wider spread then.

Like I said before I'm wondering if the Queen is even in control of the senior courtiers set on ridiculously hounding H&M... because this was not difficult to see coming

But isn't it like a family business when the head of the business just carries on well into their eighties or whatever. It is obvious to me that the Queen in her mid 90s is in charge in name only, the whole shebang will be run by the courtiers, with Charles at the side.

They could also have been making fun of a man that many people at the time thought was ridiculous.

But as someone who had family members by marriage murdered in Death camps doesn't make it right! Just because it was ''So long ago''.

Eugenics came out of America first...And America had Segregation for Black and White people... It's inexcusable.

Let's just have a Republic.

If the Palace are calm and unworried they sure are doing a good job of acting like they have a leaky nappy.
