Harry and Meghan biography

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?

@Nikhedonia oh my word, how pathetic. I know I shouldn't project but I can think of plenty of people like that in RL. (my mil)

HarryDaylight · 27/04/2020 12:53

It looks like Harry races around the chairs as well to ensure that they're ahead of Edward and Sophie. How petty and ill mannered of them both.

Nikhedonia · 27/04/2020 12:56

For two people who say they want to leave the RF, they seem awfully concerned by their seniority within it...

7Worfs · 27/04/2020 13:01

True Nikh, there’s also excessive use of Duke & Duchess, as well as reminders that H is still the sixth in line to the throne.

LaMarschallin · 27/04/2020 13:05

I hadn't watched that before.
It's behaviour that would look tacky at a very unroyal wedding, for example, let alone a public church service for the Commonwealth.

Presumably, seating arrangements for such an event would normally be such that people would file into and out of rows of seats in a set order.

The fact that, apparently, things had to be rearranged because of H & M's grumpiness and self-importance, may have led to the seating order not being as polished as usual.

But surely she should have waited and followed those in the seats in her row, not shoved through like it was the first day of the sales?

Lucky they weren't in pews: she'd have found it tricky clambering over the back of one in that dress.
To give her credit, though - I'm sure she'd have made a spirited attempt.

MissEliza · 27/04/2020 13:07

Yes I thought Harry was doing that as well. As pp have said, if they wanted out of the RF because it was 'toxic' why did they care so much about who goes where in a bloody procession?

Oldbutstillgotit · 27/04/2020 13:10

I read somewhere ( can’t remember where ) that MM didn’t really understand Royal protocol and thought she would be equal to Catherine so was unhappy that she would have to defer to her .

Nikhedonia · 27/04/2020 13:14

not shoved through like it was the first day of the sales?

GrinGrin that made me chuckle.

BlueChangling · 27/04/2020 13:17

@MissEliza Apparently Doria was in jail for tax evasion, that's why TM had custody of Meghan for awhile

7Worfs · 27/04/2020 13:20

Blue what? Shock
Where did you read that?

If Doria has ever been in prison, or had any hint of a conviction, the DM would DEFINITELY have found out and made a big deal of it. It’s nonsense. Doria has done nothing wrong as far as I can see. Meghan fancied living with her father once he won the lottery. Not altogether surprising.

KaronAVyrus · 27/04/2020 13:41

The Doria jail thing it just bullshit. There’s absolutely no evidence to support it.

7Worfs · 27/04/2020 13:43

Oh that’s not really a ‘source’.
If there was a bombshell like that the UK press would have been all over it ages ago.

TimeLady · 27/04/2020 13:43

I'm not convinced that site is a reliable source. The blog owner themself says: Any stories offered and any articles published are the opinion of the authors and not necessarily based on fact. Of course, speculation is welcomed. This site is strictly for entertainment purposes. Everything posted here is considered ‘allegedly’ in its correctness.

That particular rumour is refuted here:

EthelMayFergus · 27/04/2020 13:56

I thought that M went to live with her dad shortly after he won the lottery and around the same time that Doria met her new partner (when M was about 10). I think TM's older children probably would have been adults by then too, so might have left home?

I don't know if it's true but I've read that both of MM's parents have been bankrupt previously, but I've never heard of Doria being in prison and agree that the press would have been all over that if it was true.

phpolly · 27/04/2020 14:01

I'd like to know whether MM was married twice before Harry or just once. Also where Doria was when M lived with Thomas. Surely some intrepid investigative journalist can investigate ?

I would like that too, LadyEloise. I'm a bit surprised no one has

Nikhedonia · 27/04/2020 14:04

I think if she had been married before or if DR had been in prison it would have been widely reported

Butterymuffin · 27/04/2020 14:21

Honestly, don't post fanciful nonsense like that above because it just gives ammunition to the posters who like to get these discussions shut down. The Royals will have done thorough background checks and anything like that would have stopped the marriage ever getting their approval in the first place. It's just not credible.

DaydreamingDay · 27/04/2020 14:22

Thomas Markle won the lottery? And then his daughter marries into the Royal Family! He's had some life.

OVienna · 27/04/2020 14:28

I agree that Harry looks miserable in that Commonwealth video and she looks a bit over the top. Her expressions do seem a bit odd.

However, with regard to her moving through the chairs to supposedly 'get in front of Sophie', Harry was coming up that aisle in front of them - he'd moved too, if you notice, he didn't follow behind her which if they'd been directed to follow behind S & E he would probably have done. He could have well motioned for her to join him. We don't see that part (it may be in another part of the video.) So, I think it's hard to say and to know what was really going on.

It's not a stretch they were uncomfortable - giving the timing, they were probably dreading it all.

OVienna · 27/04/2020 14:30

The allegations on Doria are also not credible because in the US in many (most?) states information on people's criminal records is in the public domain, unlike here. Also, your record isn't wiped clean after a conviction is spent, unlike here (except under certain circs.) If there had been an issue, we'd know about it, and I agree please let's not get any more threads shut down.

BlueChangling · 27/04/2020 14:33

Sorry for the dodgy link re Doria. I'll be sure to double check the source link i'm sharing in future. I was going to ask MNHQ to delete if for me but they've beat me to it.

Inspiralcarpetry · 27/04/2020 14:37

Thanks to the pp for posting that youtube clip commentary on the Commonwealth service. So interesting! It really looks as if the RF are barely tolerating H&M. Can't say I blame them. H looked so tight lipped and angry and M had a plastered on cheesy permagrin, constantly looking for her camera angle. So undignified.
I'd be fascinated to know why she switched living with her parents and also whether this was marriage #3 or 2. Doesn't particularly matter, but what would is what Harry knows. I do think she carefully constructed a reality for him of the kind of woman/life he thought he wanted when they first got together. I wonder if they are happy leaping from place to place always on someone else's dime.
