anyone watching Harry and Megan

[Member869894]

on tv now?

*The whole “I said to H... (looks up from under eyelashes and laughs coyly)... oh that’s what I call him”... was so unnatural, the whole thing seemed, to me, scripted form start to finish. I can imagine her rehearsing it.

I also think Harry’s mental health seems to have take a massive nosedive since he started the relationship with her.*

Yes

I think it was tone deaf tbh. Given the all the poverty and other issues they are encountering on their Africa tour to turn it into how hard life is for them. Still they wanted to get their 'side' out and now they have done so, with Harry's sycophantic pal ready to tell everyone how amazing they are. Meh.

I wonder how much time they spent together before getting married. It seemed to go from a couple of pictures of them together to getting engaged- a bit like Charles and Diana.

I agree 100%

Just watched this I have to say I felt very uncomfortable. Both clearly are very vulnerable and this has clearly put a massive strain on them both plus neither really have a supportive family network. They seriously need to take time off and stay out of the media. I think H is still dealing with his grief from losing his mother and having a family of his own has triggered this. Both seem to be losing their way a bit. Very, very sad.

I think some people see her as insincere because they are judging her as British. Having 2 North American SIL has shown me that there are significant cultural differences, and misunderstandings occur because these are under estimated. My US SIL for example cannot get that ‘ we must have lunch’ is just a way of finishing a conversation here and has nothing to do with lunch ! My mother however finds the constant ‘ telling it like it is’ intrusive at times.

I think Meghan had a looked shell shocked and worn out, she had a look of someone who has found out that the person they married has turned out to be something different altogether. She is, I suspect, supporting her husband with significant mental health issues, he is clearly still dealing with his mothers death, he has signs of paranoia and depression. She has a new baby , a new life and frankly very little emotional support because she has to be so careful who she speaks to in case it gets back to the press or elsewhere .

The interviews are misguided I think as they will only fuel the fires and I think MM knows this, Harry though is a loose cannon lashing out at anyone he perceives as a threat. Very sad , I think that if the press and especially the Mail does not back off and call a ceasefire they could have a lot now than a broken marriage to report on . It doesn’t matter how much money you have mental health problems are no respect it’s of wealth.

The Queen and Phillip lived in Malta after their wedding. William and Kate lived in Anglesey. Very sensible I would say. I know the welsh folk were protective of them and did not use it as an opportunity to take pics and intrude on them.

They need time to settle down and bed in as a family.

I don't get why they do stuff like this. Just don't give any interviews.

Also I'll get slated for saying this but she should have known better than to marry him if she can't handle the media. Plenty of people walk away from someone because of their family. Being an actress as well, surely she knows it can go one way or another with the media?

I felt very sorry for her.

She is very lovely, articulate and genuine.

I'd like to see them move away, if that's what they want.

The RF needs to be scaled right down and Harry's lucky in that he could opt-out of public life if he chose to.

I think her point about not having the same type of press in the US is well made . Of course they have the National Enquirer but they don’t have the multitude of titles on the stands and coming through people’s doors every day that we have. It is nowhere near as relentless or arguably ruthless. They are also a much more litigious society .

I wonder if she went into thinking she would get a much bigger platform for the views she holds and the work she wants to do, without knowing that H isn't free to chart his own course unless he takes a big step away, which he can't / won't do.

He's clearly fallen out with his brother over something and is hurt and surprised by that, because they've been so tight growing up. Meghan of course knows better because of her own family experience, and dare I say it, more life experience.

I wonder if she will just jack it in and say to him, "come with me, we'll make it on our own". Which they would. I think they're like Charles and Diana in the sense that they are so massively mismatched, in pretty much every way, that they're going to struggle to make it work. It may be that at the moment, they're blaming that struggle on the press, rather than realising that it's just , well, them...

I'm watching it now. I don't think anything comes across as natural,it all seems very rehearsed.

Oh dear, they need to stop talking,the pair of them just need to smile,wave ,cut the ribbon and go home to their baby. If they're going to do charity work they need stop talking about themselves and how they feel as it distracts from the charity.

But most of all they just need to stop talking. Seriously.

What Pease said. I think they're both really struggling and I really hope they take their little family off for a year and take care of each other.

This is so true. I couldn't agree more. They're fighting a losing battle and if they were to be quiet The media and everyone else will get bored and find someone else to pick on.

I like them a lot and think Meghan is unfairly treated but I guess life isn't fair for most of us and you can only be responsible for how you handle the unfair dealings. In which case if it were me I'd be quiet, smile and go home!

I think they're either being appallingly advised by someone or other, OR, they're not being advised at all and have gone rogue. Or they've been advised and are ignoring it.
Whichever it is, serious tactical errors have been made.

I think they've gone rogue and maybe Wills tried to advise them.

I can't actually believe the self indulgent drivel I just watched tbh. Good grief. Who asked them them to go on a tour of Africa FFS? They can just stay at home for as long as they like with the baby gazing at each other.

If Harry's finding it tough he needs to talk to a psychiatrist not a bloody reporter.

Nah. The Great British Public just don’t like confident clever women with opinions who hold their heads up and consider themselves the equal of their royal husband. That would be enough without adding any other factors.

“ Who asked them them to go on a tour of Africa FFS?”

Was it not a Commonwealth thing on behalf of the Queen?

I avoid the Harry/Megan threads and popped on this one out of curiosity. Interesting to see the Megan cheerleaders - some who claim to be republicans...

Was it not a Commonwealth thing on behalf of the Queen?

My point was if they are fragile and finding things hard as they have a young baby they didn't need to go,they chose to.

I hope they decide to quit the royal family and leave to be elsewhere. Treated appallingly and deserve a fresh start away from the UK press.

most of all they just need to stop talking

Oh yes please! They moan non stop about the media, use tax payers money (remember these pair are state funded) to sue the press, but keep opening their big gobs to the media at every opportunity!

The Queen needs to give them some lessons in how to keep a dignified silence. She would never make such a spectacle of herself.

What ‘public’ are you talking abot. Daily Mail or Liberal left. Because the Daily Mail readers like an opinionated gobby mare see Katie Hopkins or Liz what’s her face and the liberal left love a confident clever one.
