In the middle on this one. Part of me admires them for having the courage to leave however they will never know the hardship that most people know
We are also only getting one side of the story

@MrsDThomas

Team Windsor here.

Makes you wonder with the rumours about his parentage years ago and he looks like someone else, well is he a Windsor at all? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Only similarity is hair colour, that I can see.

gets herself pregnant

So now she's a hermaphrodite??? Used a turkey baster? Popped a hole in the condom? It is insane that people have such strong feelings about this woman.

Why do people get so worked up about this? Even if this interview actually toppled the Royal Family, how would it affect your life?

I can't stick Oprah

Whatafustercluck · 08/03/2021 23:05

The press stuff was fascinating. The RF survivebecauseof the press.

As indeed do the Tories. It's no coincidence.

@Chaiandkaafee

If Kate really did make her cry *@Spiegelx* then she has every right to correct the story. She has every right.
But why pretend that she’s telling the ‘truth’ because she wants to set the record straight for Kate? I’d have more respect for her if she just said outright ‘It was Kate who made me cry and she knows that’.

gets herself pregnant
Newlyweds get pregnant, the shock I'm flabbergasted. Hmm
The truth is out, like Judge Judy says" it makes sense unlike lies".

wewillmeetagain · 08/03/2021 23:12

@StillCoughingandLaughing I completely agree, it was constant digs at kate while trying to dress it up as her not having a problem with kate! It was actually laughable!

Ocsetldil · 08/03/2021 23:13

I love this clip of Nicholas Whichell’a internal monologue when reporting the birth of Archie. So wrong and right on every level.

That is exactly the message I got only Meghan put it much nicer.

fluffysocks89 · 08/03/2021 23:15

I suppose the fact their wedding cost the taxpayer £40 million means nothing to them.

@Grilledaubergines

You must be joking. He’s got the exact same face as Charles.

Unfortunately for him, he also inherited his mother’s personality.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 08/03/2021 23:15

@FireflyRainbow

They both know how it works and that their children wouldn't be a prince or princess until Charles is king. Only the children of the sovereign can get a title and with the title comes security. I think I've just watched an hour of crap that makes no sense. She would have known this but had a strop anyway.
It’s children and male-line grandchildren who are entitled to be styled as Prince or Princess. Archie is currently too far removed from the sovereign to be automatically a Prince.

William’s children aren’t automatically entitled to be Prince or Princess either - they only have those titles because they were granted by Letters Patent. The reality is, William’s children and Harry’s children alike will be grandchildren of the sovereign once the Queen dies, but William’s children will always be in the direct line of succession, whereas Archie and his unborn sister will not be. When Charles dies, William’s children will be children of the sovereign, while Archie will be the equivalent of Viscount Linley or Sarah Chatto. (For context, one poster on this thread mentioned them and could not remember their names.) When William dies, he will be the King’s cousin - the equivalent of the Duke of Kent or Princess Alexandra. A lot of people probably couldn’t pick them out of a lineup.

Was it ‘nice’ - or a veiled dig?

Quite @Cowgran

Almondmilkgranola · 08/03/2021 23:17

The real Harry laid bare after Charles and William protected him for years. Actually goes on TV to tell the world that his elderly, hardworking father had to stop taking his calls because he wouldn't stop harassing him for more millions. Expecting sympathy?!

My impression for some time has been that Harry was put out at being bumped down the line of succession by George, Charlotte and Louis, saw the writing on the wall financially with Charles favouring a slimmed down monarchy and William due to take over the Duchy of Cornwall, clearly not going to keep throwing money at Harry.

So Harry makes a grab at fame to rival Will & Kate by marrying Meghan, thinks it will be politically impossible for his family to cut him off. Their timing at leaving for California was horrible as Covid struck, now their grabbing at anything to keep themselves in the press.

I bet Meghan & Oprah already have the divorce interview pencilled in.

WhereverIlaymyhat2021 · 08/03/2021 23:19

I’ve just had to u follow someone on Instagram though as they put a flaming meme on saying ‘just jet them be’ oh do fuck off they’ve courted the fk out of this I’m sure most were quite happy and relived for hthrm to be able to judge go off and just be. They decided to do the dirty laundry airing.

Mamamia456 · 08/03/2021 23:20

Can't believe that people are still questioning Prince Harry's parentage. Princess Diana didn't meet James Hewitt until Harry was 2 years old.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 08/03/2021 23:21

@Emeraldshamrock

The private wedding vows is romantic the wedding day was a public event. Would any of those against Meghan want their daughter's marrying into the institution?
Definitely not - but she DID marry into the institution. And if you believe her, she didn’t even take thirty second layer to type ‘royal family’ into Google.
wewillmeetagain · 08/03/2021 23:22

They know that prince charles and Prince William will not answer back to any of these claims publicly. They basically had the freedom to say whatever they pleased knowing full well the palace will not enter into a public slanging match with them!

blueleonburger · 08/03/2021 23:23

A woman has just admitted she felt suicidal while carrying her child and you all berate her. Shame on you. Best you’re the same people posting everyone to “Be Kind” when Caroline flack died.

DipSwimSwoosh · 08/03/2021 23:23

So what actually happened, in a nutshell? Because I couldn't undertand all her riddles and welling up and insinuations. She seemed very devious. Did she have mental health issues and was not supported? Or did the royals actually persecute her? Or did she change her mind about marrying into the institution of the royal family?
Whatever happened, I thought she came across very badly. Very quick to shame and ery sorry for herself, but I am not sure why.

Thedogscollar · 08/03/2021 23:24

@Almondmilkgranola
That's a whole lot of assumptions in that story you have typed.

Whatafustercluck · 08/03/2021 23:25

Taken from a friend's Facebook post:

Imagine your mum dying at a young age, doing two tours of Afghanistan, setting up the Invictus games, being a patron of the HALO trust, being a patron of Walking with the Wounded, seeing the woman you love and mother of your children vilified by the press everyday for basically nothing yet your Noncey uncle gets away scott free to sweat in a Pizza Hut somewhere.

And you’re the bad guy?

This about sums it up for me. Priorities and perspective.

And if anyone took the time to google Prince Charles at a similar age to Prince Harry, they're near identical!
