Harry and Meghan biography

[sunshinesupermum]

Hasn't Prince Harry learnt anything from his mother's experience of having someone write her biography 'to set the record straight'? Couldn't they have at least waited until after his grandmother's death, however long that might be?

It's in the DM too (for those who can't access the Telegraph article)

Oh dear, someone's not going to be popular for transmitting negative vibes.

TimeLady I'm just very surprised that Harry's "friends" are putting out stories on his behalf. In the past I am quite sure, he abhorred "friends" who talked.
He really is a different person these days.

In fact, my first thought when I saw the article was to wonder if this was a shot across Meghan's bows, to let her know how much he has given up for her.
If he is resorting to communicating with his wife via "friends" via the press things are very bad indeed.

Maybe things in Malibu are more tense than we are being led to believe by M's 'friends'? I doubt Harry sanctioned these disclosures - can you imagine the atmosphere at home if he did.

Maybe Harry's friends are as sick of the endless anti-UK, anti-RF PR spin being pumped out as we are. Interesting they went to the Telegraph - that makes it much harder to dismiss it as 'tabloid gossip'.

Meghan has to be careful because if things end badly and H returns to the U.K., the BP press machine will annihilate her.

This is going to backfire on them, and backfire spectacularly. So much for longing for a life out of the limelight

Harry I imagine did not intend to quit the royal family and leave the UK for good, I suspect he had his hand forced by Meghan who could see no future living in the shadows of Katherine and William.

I believe they had hoped for a 'special role' within the RF and believed they could hold on to the trappings without the duty. They felt their star quality would buy them whatever they wanted from the RF.

Harry must be reeling from the sheer speed of events, and landing in Hollywood only to find himself jobless and friendless, and without any kind of future, surrounded by the LA media sharks and Meghan's ghastly 'celebrity' friends, he has lost everything.

Harry is a country man by nature, he loves nothing more than to be involved in polo and shooting around here, I can not think of a worse fit for him than Hollywood, and I imagine he will be back before we know it.

Coming back, presumably alone, would mean leaving his son in LA, and I don't think for a moment he would countenance that.

Not yet, anyway.

@ Biscuit0110 well put. I agree with you ; H must waken up and think what happened .
M’s exh has just announced he and his wife are expecting a baby . Oh the stories he could tell ...

We will see.

The out and out racism this couple have faced on social media is beyond vile...it makes the UK look primitive and callous!

I agree with TimeLady I think it may happen eventually but not yet. And what would happen about Archie? I can’t see Harry returning without Archie.

Lets just say the news around here was that there were problems between them before they even left for Canada/US.

Meghan is very jealous of Katherine and will not play second fiddle to her. It has been bubbling under the radar for years now.

Harry's friends would never be indiscreet, never, they are unfailing loyal to him for decades. I highly doubt it was an accidental piece of journalism.

Another story released by themselves but apparently “friends” went to the media
They need a plumber to stop the leaks

this is no doubt her favourite method of communication
Maybe, or maybe not - they stated they wanted less press attention, so perhaps it is just a bad patches. It can be fixed - Harry's circle used to be very leak-proof.

Just wonder what the intention is - is to gain favour from the USA population?
If deliberate intention, then yes the US is the important target audience now

I think culturally there is quite a lot of fervour and support there for military people. Maybe they want to tap into that. He can then do another sob story of how an amazing soldier he was but it was all put to a halt because of the media so the media have destroyed his life bohoo

That was the Australian media who broke the embargo, not the British. Focussing on the British tabloids (who were abiding by the deal) in relation to military career is misplaced.

"Lets just say the news around here was that there were problems between them before they even left for Canada/US."

I didn't see those, and I hope it's not true.

But I do think there is something in the 'curse of Hello' and when articles start to about how happy a couple is, something is usuallymwring behind the scenes. I've only seen one such article about the Sussexes, and that was before the move to LA, so hope the move has indeed imporived things.

How on earth can jealousy of Kate have been bubbling under the surface for years? They’ve only been married 2 years & not in the UK for a fair bit of it!

The drip drip drip of news stories is bizarre. For a couple who believe that media have ruined their lives, they are constantly attracted to being in the limelight.

It's Thursday and we have had Harry reading a kids book, a video of Meghan doing some charity stuff and two stories from "friends".

There was probably announcement about an announcement too.

Could you post some links please ?

Hmm, I'm not convinced he made the comment about not being able to believe how his life has turned out as a negative one. Taken in isolation, or in a different context, you could read it positively. Could be some DM mischief making here.

I believe they had hoped for a 'special role' within the RF and believed they could hold on to the trappings without the duty. They felt their star quality would buy them whatever they wanted from the RF.

Yes. The problem is that in reality MM’s “star quality” is mediocre at best. Through sheer will and determination she managed to get on a third rate Canadian TV drama in her 30s.

However, compared to Harry’s last gf Cressida, she would have appeared to have achieved where Cressida was aspiring to and so probably blinded Harry to the reality of her abilities.

Harry and Meghan have been together for four whole years not two! and it is common knowledge that the two were/are not on good terms. William and Harry were/are not even talking. This is really not breaking news. It is very well known.

Harry I imagine did not intend to quit the royal family and leave the UK for good,

Biscuit - I actually think it's the opposite. M, who has come from modest means, probably couldn't believe her luck when she found herself being 'elevated' to the ranks of royalty. Evidence for this - her immediate 'showing off' of wealth and privilege, speaking badly to staff, wearing inappropriate clothing (e.g., the 10k ballgown to some Australian Geographical Society dinner where everyone else was in moderately-priced business suits or business dresses). This is absolutely not how wealthy people behave (the main reason being that if you draw attention to your wealth too much, it can be taken off you either by the authorities or by the ordinaries).

M is a victim of her own boundaries (just like everyone else), mainly to do with her lack of knowledge and of common-sense. She probably encouraged H to become an activist by kicking back against his family - too much. He got all fired up, took off, and she had no choice but to follow. I am beginning to see this more and more as a very public lesson in 'be careful what you wish for'. She is, quite possibly, horrified at what has happened. I have never observed anyone who has experienced upward social mobility to be happy about tumbling back down to their more usual place. Those who are saying that she willingly walked away are reading things incorrectly. I can almost guarantee that no-one would give up everything that she has given up for the sake of 'activism' or a political cause. Crikey - even Mother Theresa didn't.

I am afraid we will see a rather noisy narcissistic rolling circus from them until people totally lose interest.
Lets hope they make the multi millions needed to bankroll their Hollywood lifestyle before they hit middle age and become obsolete. I will imagine that a loan from Daddy may not be forthcoming after they sell the family down the river.

Biscuit I didn’t word myself clearly. Not had my first tea yet.

I don’t doubt that Meghan is jealous of Kate. I’m fairly certain she thought that once married they would be on equal footing. But they’ve only been married 2 years so I don’t understand how the jealousy could have been bubbling under the surface for years.

But then I’m a normal person

boffy, can you post some links please?

No, please don't! I don't wish to give traffic or credence to potentially racist content.
