@bluewanda

With Buckingham Palace’s statement talking about how Meghan and Harry remain much loved members of the family (or something along those lines), I was surprised that H&M didn’t respond in kind, with some sort of affectionate wording about the Queen. Instead they just talked about duty and service. Any thoughts?
It's just another example of how self-centred and tone deaf they can be. It's planet Sussex and they are the sole occupants. This deal was always about what they wanted and what suited them best, not what suited the Firm, Harry's family or their patronages. It's just one huge tantrum.

They're full of inflated self importance, claiming to want to hear people's stories and helping people have their voices heard, etc, and think that it translates into a life changing event for these people but it's all just fluff and nonsense. The wankery surrounding their Archewell foundation is just one big cringe. They are completely blind as to how this makes them come across to some people because they're ultimately chronically self-involved with an unrealistic impression of how inspirational and helpful they are to the average person.

Meghan tried to claim that she had no idea who Harry was when they met. I highly doubt there would have been a second date if Harry was a binman from Bradford. She is being ridiculous if she doesn't realise how disingenuous she sounds about this magical fairytale romance. She is an actress who probably believes she is better than she is if she thinks she is pulling off the narrative about her being an average girl who managed to marry into the British royal family against the odds and is now going to change the world through her kindness and fluffy words, and that she doesn't need the association with the royals to do this.

I honestly think you are overthinking this big time with those opinons of yours, most of what you say is hearsay, and a lot of people feel very differently to you

William sad, shocked and furious about insult to Queen but misses Harry and hopes they can reconcile, according to today’s Sunday Times.

I think trying to have a private relationship separate from the relationship they have as part of the ‘Firm’ must be nigh on impossible.

No she didn't. She literally didn't. What she actually "claimed" was not to know very much about him. That's very different from "no idea who he was." What agenda do you have in making up blatant porkies like this?

William should take a chill pill if he hopes to rebuild their relationship- though it sounds like a load of journalistic hyperbole.

Why are people blaming Harry and Meghan for the 'timing' when it was the RF who released the statement? And the RF who chose the timing?

Do people really think it's just a huge coincidence that the RF released a statement about Harry and Meghan on the very same day the British High Court found Matt Hancock guilty of breaking the law? An incredibly crucial news story of massive public interest that - thanks to Harry and Meghan - received very little press attention?

Come on. It's corruption. Everything to do with the RF comes down to money, politics, and corruption.

If it's a day ending in Y, somewhere William is "reportedly furious" about something.

Maybe William should take up yoga.

@GetOffYourHighHorse

'90 minute Oprah interview with Harry and Meghan set to air on 7th March. Should be interesting!'

Oprah. Is she like the US's Jeremy Kyle? They won't insult the RF with very one sided allegations surely. That would be grossly unfair when the RF have no right of reply, they will I hope focus on their lovely news, their current happiness and volunteering jobs. They weren't keen when Thomas Markel spoke to the media about his grievances so of course they wouldn't do the same..would they?!

noo of course they wont !! , how could you think such an evil thing of them , after all look as an example of that beautifully worded message they put out after the queen had to remove their last patronages , they were so thoughtfull and kind in their reply to the palaces statement , i will be so shocked if she moans about how terrible treated she was by the royal family and the uk press as we all know that author on finding freedom must have made all that shit up about kate being apparently cold and uninterested in her and william all funny about the marriage being rushed , i mean they said they had next to no imvolvement in the book so christ knows where dear omid got it all from eh ? laughs evily and goes to have fag and coffee before bed

Ha ha - probably a load of old codswallop then! Who really knows what Wills and Harry are like behind the scenes.

Schrodinger's papers! Everything they write about Harry and Meghan is lies but all the William stuff is accurate, amirite?

And the royal family want to protect Matt Hancock for what reason? I'm open to ideas.

'Do people really think it's just a huge coincidence that the RF released a statement about Harry and Meghan on the very same day the British High Court found Matt Hancock guilty of breaking the law'

Yes it was a 'huge coincidence'. I don't think anyone cares that the correct paperwork was delayed by 2 weeks, getting PPE distributed was rightly Hancock's priority.

I'm puzzled at Oprah using a private jet to visit them to do the chat show thing, couldn't they have zoomed it? Doesn't seem very environmentally friendly imo. Tut tut.

GoLightlyontheEarth · 22/02/2021 18:49

Especially when she lives down the road...

Wrong. It was an average of 17 days over which is more than 2 weeks and means some contracts were far longer to be declared. And then there's the cronies it went to. He broke the law.
