Lilibet Diana — what do we think?

[BabyBabyOh]

Harry and Megan have announced the birth of their little girl. Thoughts on the name?

Congratulations to them

The BBC repeated the story on the 1pm news bulletin so apparently their lawyers aren’t too perturbed.

Tbh I feel the media should be held to account for reporting false news
Why can't they actually just do real journalism?!

False news, or news that Harry and Meghan don't like Horehound?

It seems like their main way of operating is complaining about the media and threatening legal action if anything other than their version of the story is given airtime. There's something quite narcissistic in their attitudes where everything revolves around them and 'their truth', and anyone who points out facts or challenges them must be a hateful bigot.

They're 2 wealthy individuals who are more than capable of getting on with their lives, focusing on their particular causes and focusing on their young family. For whatever reason they keep choosing to run to the press, create drama, complain about the press, and present themselves as the world's biggest victims.

@SpindleWhorl

Lead story Mail online now - Harry to sue BBC.

Even the incredibly hyperbolic DM are only saying that he’s “threatening legal action”, ie that he has sent a legal letter.

“Harry to sue” is a huge exaggeration at this stage. Calm down.

Don’t jump the gun. If a senior place employee has said “XYZ” to a BBC journalist, then that’s a credible source, the best kind of source, and the BBC have done nothing wrong in reporting it.

If Harry has an issue with what senior courtiers are telling the media, he needs to take it up with the palace.

If there’s any more to the story, it hasn’t come out yet.

😂😂😂 You got this covered.

False news, or news that Harry and Meghan don't like?

Well they've won all their cases so far. 🤷‍♀️

You disagree @sunglassesonthetable? How do you think suing the BBC for reporting something a palace employee said to their journalist would go?

I should have corrected that on reading the details but someone else had already done it.

Well they've won all their cases so far.

(Try again).

That would soon change if MM and the lawyers sat back and let H make his own legal decisions.

Don't agree or disagree Ricki but finding it fascinating that you can so confidently tell Harry what he SHOULD do.

You sound more across all the details than he is.

And really is he "suing "? Really.🙄

No it’s just that - for my sins - media law is the only kind of law I have any kind of training in and I can’t see that the BBC have anything to worry about here if they have the note or the record of what the palace source said.

The journalist and the publisher are covered in this scenario as long as they’ve accurately reported the source. Assuming the BBC news department haven’t gone rogue, Harry’s fight is therefore with the palace.

And as I’ve said about eight times now he isn’t “suing” (he’s just issued a legal letter) and it won’t go well if he tries to.

See this post just a few posts - and less than half an hour - before yours @sunglassesonthetable ?

Stop trying to misrepresent people.

Whatevs Ricki . Not trying to misrepresent anyone.

I know NOTHING about media law but maybe take a look at how your post reads to the random viewer.

I can see that you’re in the anti-fact camp @sunglassesonthetable

Really ? 😀 Am I ...? 👍🏻

Once again Ricki you know it all.

Well, this is escalating quickly.

@Roundlampshade

Well, this is escalating quickly.

Yup bumping for the deletion message

Not in the spirit?

Have we had the Behave thyself? Or else message yet?

A cute name in itself

Given the context...completely innapropriate.

Apparently now Harry has got his lawyers onto the press who said he didn't ask the queen.
Why don't he and Megan just bugger off! He's either selling his soul for money or suing the press.

Good for him. They were deliberately printing lies.

They reported what they were told was the truth

As RickiTarr says, if the BBC can show they are simply reporting what the Palace said, they can tell Harry to fuck off.

In any event, it's a stupid thing to sue about. How much damage can he realistically claim to have suffered from this?
