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?

I imagine it's like a film at the cinema. You see clips, think it looks brilliant so go to the cinema to see it. And the best bits were those clips.

@Andylion

Whilst Meghan is the 946th most famous person in the State

I imagine she will move up that list after Oprah.

That is HER goal 😂😅

Are we definitely sure it was crocodile, three syllables? Are we sure he wasn’t saying crock of shit? The lady doth protest too much, methinks. I won’t be watching, they wanted privacy and I’ll quite gladly give it to them.

Sadly I think they could have achieved good and developed charities and good works within their chosen fields.
But this endless whinging does them no favours at all, neither does the vacuous preaching and empty words without any substance. The hypocrisy is amazing. I actually don’t even know what they want or stand for anymore as they say one thing but their actions indicate another.

People are going to tire of them very soon as indeed many have already. It’s just beyond comprehension as to how they can think this is the right time to do a two hour moan about how hard it’s been for them. Anyone with an ounce of common sense would realise the world has suffered enormously this past year and any of their perceived slights and problems really are not of any importance right now.

An hour twenty to go, guys. I can see you are all excited!Grin

Has anyone mentioned the most important thing, Unforgotten has been moved for this?

MM thought that she was the famous one and it would count for something, it doesn’t, there’s a pecking order, Kate will always be at the front.

They are novelty just now, no one will care soon enough. To be honest they are both fairly dull. Not sure how they will keep the press interest up (in the way they want it to be).

To be honest I’m fairly disappointed in Oprah, she’s obviously pursued this for a while. She doesn’t need the money/exposure. Listening to these 2 spoiled brats moaning about their choices whilst being bankrolled by Charlie.

silverliningitis · 07/03/2021 23:48

I mean I don't think it will be controversial ish but I also think they don't offer anything in general to talk about. At normal times when they are really nice to each other they are still boring and uninteresting. I think it's the mini clips where it suggests it's going to be an explosive interview is what the hype is about otherwise if they start preaching about their causes, the environment and being kind etc people will start crying with disappointment.

dottiedaisee · 07/03/2021 23:49

I really think it will all be the same moans and groans ..but despite it being actually really boring all the advertising will make a fortune for CBS / iTV !

They no longer receive a stipend from prince Charles. Next.

I agree with you hun. So boring and uninteresting I can't imagine there being thread after thread, headline after headline and tweet after tweet about them. Nobody's interested.

Still does not rule out the chance of getting these threads which are made of us empty headed people! 😂 Agree though they don't have much to say (and they would like to live of what other people have to say instead). So much for the Spotify contract 🙄

Oprah will also move on to her next star of the month next week. She has no vested long term interest and nothing to lose.

A simple Google would answer your question. They're financially independent.

So will they. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement

Doesn't Keeping Up With The Kardashians still air? That's what keeps KK relevant and famous. I'd love to see Keeping Up With the Windsor's 🤣

It will be Meghan using every acting skill she has acquired in her very average career. Wow! What a part to play. Here she is the poor victim of a life troubled by wealth, prestige and a Royal family who don’t understand her. As for the racism in the Uk well she must be so much better off in the US as that doesn’t happen there. Whatever happened it will not have been her fault. As for the bullying accusations they have been documented before. Well how could she have behaved like that when she is such a supporter of everything that is right.? And the academy award goes to ...

She was barely even famous, she was in one crappy show that no one had even heard of before she started going out with PH.

Nice of you to acknowledge racism then mock her for living in America because there's lots of racism there too. Must be lovely to live your privileged life with no racism. Wait- you're going to tell me you're black/mixed race/ have a black husband. Sorry I got in there first.

I'm bloody furious that Unforgotten has been moved to accommodate these self important bores. Does anyone know when it's on?

Despite every thing that is wrong with all you said she is about to become globally famous, so she's done extremely well for herself.

Sorry for going off topic, but should I keep a lookout for this show coming to Canada? Lots of posters are ticked off that it has been rescheduled.

It's a good show, but people are ticked off because it's Meghan moving the scheduling. Don't get too excited about it.
