'H' comes across as the martyr type. He mistakenly believes that just because Netflix will get record breaking figures it doesn't mean there's genuine empathy or care for them. UK public already sick of the typically American schmaltz of their 'Truth'.

Don't know what the mileage is in them for next 10 years. They will sell their Granny down the river and then their kids will hit the teen years. Why are they setting their kids up as the next faux celebs to be chased all over LA.

I think they are both self pitying in the extreme with untreated MH issues. H looks ghastly at times and I wonder if he is in recovery. Prince W often looks awful too. I wonder if they both have dependency issues.

'Meg' has increased her star power, which seemed to be the goal, at all costs.

It's not their house they used a friends who confirmed it last week. A friend incidentally who has been investigated for stealing millions and millions of dollars from a charity for disabled veterans. Like everything else they do it's not as it seems, they didn't even use their own house 😂

I don't think they said it was their house in the docuseries, I just assumed it was.

Nevertheless, divine views .

Oh, well, why didn't you say so? It doesn't get much more intellectually and scientifically robust than that.

Go on, which ones do you recommend?

You don’t need a link: simply close your eyes and sense the book link by its aura and mannerisms. The bestsellers have a whiff of rugged ball sweat about their jacket flaps.

Agreed...Meghan is sucking hard at the the titty of 'Fame' while Harry fades like Tinkerbell.

They are victims of their own imagination

This sums the Harkles up perfectly @cyrila

We are just supposed to ignore the toxic coverage that Meghan received then?

And the credible and disgusting threats from right wing nuts?

Thankfully, others see and acknowledge that this is not all in their heads.

VioletLemon · 13/12/2022 11:17

Yea, I feel that now that he doesn't have RF protection in the media that he is just coming across as he really is.

I reckon it’s probably about the tights and the bridesmaids..much less exciting than being let on.

I also think they are still stewing over this - rightly or wrongly...

ChangedmynameagainforChristmas · 13/12/2022 11:28

It just looks to me like every time William does something 'wrong' another family member gets thrown under the bus to move attention away from him.

The whole lot of them need getting shut of

Fgs, nobody even knew she was mixed-race. Certainly she was never viewed as “an angry black woman” (referenced by a previous poster):
What do you mean, no one knew? Aside from the wall-to-wall media coverage about her race, from tabloids printing her family tree, the “gangstER” and “straight outta Compton” headlines, and doorstopping her mother, to the positive “Black Princess” coverage from friendlier press?

I didn't realise she was mixed race for weeks.

Yes. And I don't doubt that without the Windsor ring of PR steel the rest of them would come across as they really are, too.

At present their 'sources' in the media do the dirty work for them whilst they outwardly stick to their lofty maxim of 'never explain, ever complain' and pretend to be above that sort of thing.

Gave me a good guffaw, nonetheless 😂

Aaaargh they are SO up themselves I cannot bear it...

I didn't know til I saw her mum just before the wedding. I never saw anything about her being angry. She seemed happy to me and very much in love.

bakalava · 13/12/2022 12:18

I loved it when her mum said 'When I met Harry I knew he was the one for Meghan'. Did she say that about the others?
I can think of approximately twenty million reasons why she felt that.

TheKeatingFive · 13/12/2022 12:24

No links for us bakalava? 😆

I enjoy the irony of people picking everything they say and framing it in the worst possible light while simultaneously slating them for doing the same.

I also enjoy the irony of all the hatred which, of course, makes then infinitely more profitable and therefore richer.

It's very funny.

It’s sad that the way they have chosen to make money is by being negative and making sly digs at relatives. Of course they will attract negativity back at them.

AutumnCrow · 13/12/2022 12:38

If it's the bridesmaid tights, that's going to make Harry look unhinged.

vera99 · 13/12/2022 12:51

Compared to the huge cost of making The Crown I would say Netflix got a steal with the Harry and Meghan show.

CharityShopChic · 13/12/2022 12:55

You are not going to get a specific accusation or explanation.

It will be some vague waffle about something or other, just like their Oprah statement that a "senior member of the Royal Family" said something distasteful about Archie's potential skin colour. Which has led to 18 months of speculation about what exactly WAS said and in what context, and whether it was Prince Philip, or Charles, or Camilla, or Anne, or William....

Far more effective for them to sow a few seeds and then sit back and watch the entire family criticised.

Ch3wylemon · 13/12/2022 13:49

Did Wills inhale? Did Kate have a lapse of concentration and have bad-hair half hour? Did Harry once do better than Wills in an exam probably not.

The tantrums are pointless. KC is 74 he will reign for perhaps 10 or 15 years and then it's the Catherine & William show. Sure M&H can keep throwing grenades, but every time they do their credibility falls. Even if they lob truths in with their jealous shrapnel it won't explode, just piffle & hiss unheard.

MrsFinkelstein · 13/12/2022 15:09

This is getting really disgusting now.
2 posters accusing another man (non Royal) of being gay just to try and defend Harry's vague accusations.
This is why I dislike H&Ms actions - it just drags everyone around them down onto the gutter - family and now nonfamily members.
Low and indefensible behaviour.

RatherBeRiding · 13/12/2022 15:16

I strongly feel that a hell of a lot more covering up has been done for that useless spare than was ever done, if at all, for William. Just more lies and half-truths from the bitter ex-Royals. Sadly for them it's all pointless anyway. Its a constitutional monarchy and won't be going anywhere anytime soon so they'd better get used to the fact that once W&K are on the throne - they are TOAST.
