Harry and Meghan News ( Finding Freedom!)

I see the keyboard warriors are out in force again on this thread, still making nasty, bitchy comments about a celebrity they've never met.

As opposed to you, making nasty, bitchy comments about other posters?

If you don't like Meghan she comes across as rude in that clip. If you do like her she comes across as confident and assertive in that clip.
What definitely came across to me in that particular clip is her parting.
I don't particularly like her but I thought she came across as confident and assertive. Also think it was ill advised.

That programme on Channel 5 was fairly interesting but pretty disappointing. Nothing I didn't know already. Most people interviewed agreed it's all been handled badly and disapproved of the way Meghan and Harry withdrew from Royal life.

Don't like being called a keyboard warrior Winterlife? That's a shame. I'm surprised MNHQ hasn't deleted this thread, some of the comments are defamatory.

agree Viviennemary. there is more info here. at this point we know more than them.

Presumably her job at this function was to represent the show and win fans. Just as her job more recently was to represent the Queen. In both cases she made it about herself.

i think its rude to look out for someone else when you are talking to someone. its like checking your phone all the time when youre with someone. he could be more careful about that

Was he looking for someone else, though? The only person who suggested that was MM, and surely she knows that "red carpet" interviews are lined up, one after another, each only a minute or less in length, with only snippets of each making it to broadcast.

I suspect that interview was not broadcast, and that is to the detriment of Suits.

In the interview she comes over as full of her own importance. It's me me me all the time with her. A very unpleasant and wearisome characteristic.

The interview shows that at all times she was performing to the audience behind the camera. She was playing a part: ballsy, sassy, look-at-me, nobody treats me like this.

I don’t think anyone who hasn’t known her for a long long time - childhood friends, siblings for example - could really say what she’s truly like. But given her beginnings and where she is now, I’d venture she’s got bigger balls than any of them in the RF of her generation. No soft edges, despite outward appearances. That can be extremely off-putting.

Can't get over the story that they celebrated their anniversary by phoning the service vendors. Way to emphasize that they have lost almost all their friends and family.

Whether he was or wasn’t being (intentionally) rude, her reaction when she realises she isn’t the main focus of his attention is very telling.

Considering suits is (from what I’ve gathered) an ensemble cast and she wasn’t the main lead, she must’ve known she wasn’t there as the big star. But the way she spoke to him, you’d think she was Margot Robbie. Except I’ve never seen Margot Robbie or anyone with her kind of star power speak to people like that.

It’s also a way of speaking that, if anyone called her up on it, she would brush it off as ‘just kidding’. But she very clearly isn’t. She’s angry she doesn’t have his undivided attention and that he doesn’t know how to spell her name.

According to the Daily Mail the upcoming book on the Sussexes will claim it was Harry’s idea to leave the Royal Family and that he’s wanted to leave for a long time. If that’s true why have the big taxpayer funded wedding? Why do interviews about all the work they were going to do together and “family she never had”?

Indeed Gloriana.

They requested the big royal wedding knowing they’ll be making a transition to part-time royals very soon.
I really hope they find a way to scrape by in the US, because returning might topple the monarchy at this rate.

I don't see why return would topple the monarchy?

They are hugely unpopular and the public will resent funding them. There will be a lot more scrutiny on the RF finances because of them.

I really don't think there is entrenched ill will.

People have a soft spot for PH (right back to the funeral parade) and have been ready to forgive him appalling lapses in their youngerbdays, and if he's happy, they'll be happy. No one really cared much about their costs when they were here as working Royals, and weren't expecting a huge workload of them when children were small - their six-week break passed unnoticed until the very end of it and I don't remember anyone begrudging them it.

It is the level of support whilst they are not working Royals that is likely to lead to questions about public and royal finances.

Non-working royals are meant to pay a fair(ish) rent for accommodation. £18000 is low/typical for property that size (in terms of bedrooms), but in less desirable nearby location and (probably) without a number of the features. Which means they are doing very little of the paying back of the costs as they have agreed to do.

That's a bit of an issue whether we love them or not.

I really hope they find a way to scrape by in the US

Oh, good luck with that! I'm headed back there in July. No one cares, there's a recession on and people squabbling about C19 and mask wearing and stimulus checks if anyone even gives them a thought it's that they are stupid, washed up, spoilt brats with millions from Daddy in a world overrun with massive job loss and industry collapse and they should shut up and go away with his trust fund. Their little woke plot falls flat because no one has time for that shit anymore when they're too busy trying to figure out how to eek out a living with schools going back on all manner of systems and keeping or finding another job and paying their bills, there's not a lot of room for poncy twits complaining in that country or any other now.

Winnie I agree with everything you outline, except the conclusion.

high’s post is on the money - people as a whole are becoming increasingly intolerant to celeb culture. The gravy train and easy money for ‘entertainers’ is over.

And royals without their duties are just rich celebs, but on a public dime, so even worse.

Ringing the wedding vendors to celebrate their anniversary is strange, I don't even ring my friends and family on mine. As much as they love me I'm sure they'd just congratulate them move the conversation on to something much more interesting.

It's tone deaf they're sitting in their 18 million dollar mansion while the entire wedding industry is falling apart.

Well it sounds more like thet are bored out of their minds and finding things to do.

Did anyone watch the C5 programme about the last two years with M and H last night? Quite interesting, but nothing we haven't already discussed on here!
Put together, it shows they really have made a monster sized hash of things in such a short time.
The programme commentators were fairly balanced - one US woman was very sympathetic/pro, whereas Penny Junor clearly disapproved! She's great friends with Charles isn't she?
The conclusion was the same as on these threads as in, where do they go from here? Meghan will be happy, Harry not so much.
