Does anyone else think that the Harry & Meghan show isn't going to be that explosive?

I really doubt that loads of dirt will be raked, or muck spread. I'm guessing that there will be a few "it was hard to speak" type complaints, which the media will blow up, but that it's not actually going to be as exciting as we're all being led to believe?

? If they want to raise money, why don't they give thier millions away? At what point do they get paid, and what exactly for?

To be fair you could say this about many celebs, business tycoons, oil sheiks, tech giants - the bill gates fund so generous - I mean if you've got that much money you are hardly scraping by....and you need interests in life as work is not necessary.

Well they've got to create some material for s10 of The Crown so... how boring will it be if it's just Prince Charles talking about his biscuits?

I expect we've seen the best bits in the 'trailers' and it won't be as interesting as is being made out.

Interested in this thread?

I can’t imagine either of them will have anything interesting to say. I won’t be watching as I anticipate it being one long whine about how hard life is for them. I’m quite happy to give them the privacy they desire.

I agree

There has to be some juice for the price tag, it said, nothings off limits...

SpringisSpinning · 07/03/2021 17:47

I guess I'll find out tomorrow am when I wake up to piers Morgan ranting about it!!

UsedUpUsername · 07/03/2021 17:49

I expect it to go down much like a long, whiney fart ...

randomer · 07/03/2021 17:52

I think it will be about Oprah.

Piers Morgan will probably sit up tonight to watch it all , then go on air tomorrow morning looking tired and mutinous going on about it.
Bourbonbiccy · 07/03/2021 18:05

I think the clips already shown will be the "worst* bits, the rest will just be a chat with their friend.

Maybe this is their Netflix contract then. Rather than anything else they are obliged to cause plenty of drama to enable Netflix to continue making The Crown. Grin
Coronateachingagain · 07/03/2021 18:13

It is going to be a big act. Imagine how much rehearsal of what to say, lines learnt ready to be dropped. The smoky soft eyes makeup, a well known cinematographic tool, will help in the delivery too.

They could act as themselves too seeing as they have the contract already Wink

I’ve read they aren’t being paid for it. Fools.

Just watched the Commonwealth Day Service with all its diversity. What a huge impact they could have made if they’d picked up that baton. Lived in South Africa and got involved with or initiated like enhancing projects across the Commonwealth.

They genuinely could have made a difference with the Commonwealth but it would have been difference without the money, celebrity and massive American mansion. It’s a shame that it looks like they chose the latter over making a difference.
JovialNickname · 07/03/2021 19:18

Yes I think it will be lots of sad face to camera and woe is me but no real explosive revelations.

HelloThereMeHearties · 07/03/2021 19:20

I too think they would have been brilliant working with the Commonwealth.

But that would have meant Meghan working for/towards something else, not herself, and I'm not sure she's up to that.

I think it’s been edited to look really controversial but I don’t think it will be. Most of it will be a lot of posturing nonsense . It’s all a way to raise their profile and get the money rolling in. So transparent. I think the two of them are a total embarrassment. Someone should explain the phrase ‘don’t wash your dirty laundry in public’.
They have no class and no dignity.
If they had any sense they’d live a quiet And happy life away from the cameras and shut up.

sashagabadon · 07/03/2021 19:22

Personally I think we know everything they might say or could say. We already know most of it. I think it’ll be boring mostly. I can’t imagine Meghan or Harry will attack any individual member if the family. Who or why? And Harry must still live his father, brother. Yes he wanted to escape the role but there had never been reports of rifts between the brothers or father / son prior to Meghan. In fact, the opposite, they got along well

harridan50 · 07/03/2021 19:25

I am just annoyed Unforgotten has been bumped to accommodate this drivel

Yep. The press is horrible. We want privacy. Our families suck. Diana. Mental health. Victims. Compassion. Humanitarians. Activists. Charidees. I'm pregnant. We're the first couple to have ever fallen in love and procreate. Protect my wife and family. Poor us.

Add to drinking game how many time they say 'husband' and 'wife'.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 07/03/2021 19:29

Me too re Unforgotten.

gottakeeponmovin · 07/03/2021 19:34

I think the best thing we could all do is ignore her. She says she wants out the limelight but then actively seeks it. If we ignore her she gets what she claims she wants

Dogmum81 · 07/03/2021 19:37

They always seem to say a lot without actually saying anything so I think it will be exactly the same! Lots of words (2 hours worth) and no context whatsoever! I’ve never known anyone talk so much without having much to say
