When the stakes are this high doesn't it make more sense to hear our story from us?

Credible threats to Megan’s life and the lack of security for them and their family for a start.

Annie232 · 04/12/2022 00:11

more word salad. Doubt even she knows what she’s saying, just heavy use of dramatic trigger words.

Snowballtorch · 04/12/2022 00:12

...and also, we have only heard their story from them... one hundred times over. Nobody else talks about them and they don't shut up!

Sparklingbrook · 04/12/2022 00:13

The threads about them on MN are never ending. There’s an obsession.

DanielRicciardosSmile · 04/12/2022 00:14

I wondered this myself. Presumably in context it makes more sense, but as a soundbite for the trailer it's fairly meaningless.

Really? I'm guessing you've never picked up a copy of the Daily Mail, one of the most-read newspapers in Britain. There is story after story about Meghan every single day.

momlette · 04/12/2022 00:16

Just the usual dramatic attention seeking shite from the actress

Kinneddar · 04/12/2022 00:16

But as we've seen before her truth isn't always the same as the real truth

Snowballtorch · 04/12/2022 00:17

Only after they have courted attention themselves. If they actually went off and lived the private life they talked about, I doubt they would be discussed at all.

^ yep. Pretty clear to me what they meant.

Byelaws · 04/12/2022 00:25

The stakes are not high. The matter is settled.

A threat to their lives is pretty high stakes for them.

Vinvertebrate · 04/12/2022 00:28

Yawn.

WatchoRulo · 04/12/2022 00:28

If you fancy a laugh, the comments on Youtube are comedy gold and show that no-one is fooled.

WatchoRulo · 04/12/2022 00:29

"Why did you want to make this documentary?"

Because Netflix offered us a pile of cash.

No, I do not pick up a copy of the Daily Mail. Why would I? It's a hate mongering rag!🤷‍♀️

I’ll never really understand what went wrong with their situation. They had so much goodwill around the wedding. Sure, some people didn’t like her, but that’s the public eye for you. I think people resented being lectured by two pampered privileged people, jetting around while complaining about climate change, but again, no more so than the rest of the Leonado set.
i don’t really understand why they don’t just get on with doing some proper work (not just the accepting awards/making podcasts thing) and prove that there is something more substantial about them - like, prove the haters wrong! Do something with this fame and power!

StellaGibson2022 · 04/12/2022 00:49

So the ‘stakes’ are their security?

so are they doing this to be able to pay for their security or make a case for their security to be paid for?

Surely the security of many people are at stake and those people pay for their security; are they doing this to pay theirs?

Is that the issue? I.e. they want to live a quiet life but cannot do they because neither of them have a career history which would enable that and so they need to do a Netflix production? This seems counter-intuitive to me. Cannot they not just retrain?

When is it on Netflix? The full thing?
