Harry & Meghan - to hope the Royals answer back?

[DontReallyCareBut]

I think the allegations in the Oprah interview are serious enough that protocol should be breached and the Royals should have a voice to give their side too.

@OverweightPidgeon

I think they should go the whole hog and fight it out on Facebook.

🤣

The one thing that stuck out to me was that 'no-one taught me the words to God Save The Queen'.

Why would anyone need to teach you? You are a grown woman, can you not YouTube it? Or, what on Earth was your Husband doing when you needed to learn it? I'm guessing he knows the words?

I just can't take anything either of them say seriously. It's all a carefully considered manipulation to boost their star power in the US.

I think they're just both a bit dim and didn't realise that the practice wasn't them getting married.

Except, based on academic track record at least, Megan isn't dim. I suspect she assumes her audience is dim, or at least she thinks the US audience that this is all aimed at, are ignorant of the way things work in the U.K.

(Which also explains why she is trying to claim that Archie hasn't been given the Prince title because he is mixed race).

apparently the skin colour was said before they were even married, not while M was pregnant. No questions about her falling out with most of her family, and now Harry has done the same. Bit of a pattern there. M had staff who were australian and american so not all stuffed shirts as she implies. What we've seen of the interview is self serving, dodged issues which put her in a bad light (dad issue) and tried to portray herself as a helpless Diana figure. One minute the strong independent woman, the next helpless and vulnerable. I'm sure she wasn't happy and wasn't aware what an awful life it is to be a royal, thinking it was a pampered princess lifestyle, rather than hard and boring work. She was the wrong person because of her personality not her colour or her citizenship. They've said their piece, now just go away and enjoy the life of anonimity they say they want.

Everyone in this country knows why Archie is not a prince. The trouble is Americans are pretty gullible for anything said by a celebrity. They will swallow this hook, line and sinker. Mixed-race baby not allowed to be a prince. What garbage. She is vile for doing that and Harry equally so for allowing it to be said.

He probably would have become a Prince when Charles became King. I can't see that happening now. Which is a real shame as he is the victim here. Not his parents.

But hopefully not getting the title of Prince or his wee sister Princess will be the best thing for them and they can habe a happy life.

I think his parents are too messed / self absorbed up to ever realise their blessings.

I hope Archie gets to visit the UK one day and get to know his family.

Is there any literature on her last marriage? Either from her or her ex?

It's interesting she isolated from her own family (or they sensibly ignore her 🤣) and now she's doing same to Harry's family and seems to be taking the lead in that.

Why was the interview mainly her or them together? Why nothing of him alone about his family?

I know PH has always struggled with his place and his role as 'the spare' and that is an issue with the RF and it's construct.

But he's always seemed so determined to set his own path (military/ invictus) and has done so but he's never come across petulant or spoilt or entitled before now. The worst criticism of you like has been he's been too much a lad and not enough Prince - but this was the thing I lost respected him for - he always seemed the most human 😃

Where are you getting it from that MM is isolating Harry from his family and taking a lead in it?

Yes,. It even very bright people don't realise that if they have an overseas wedding, they're not actually married.

They're jusr not that bright. Harry complaining that he his dad isn't/didn't find his lifestyle choices.

Can you imagine the MN AIBU?

I'm 35 years old, married and have any son. I want to not work, just do the things I like. So AIBU to expect my Dad to pay for things, like my mortgage, my bills, by travel expenses etc? He has loads of money, and is still working at 72 years old, and will always have mega money.
Oh yeah, I'm actually quite capable of working, I served in thee army for a few years, before I had to leave. There's fuck all wrong with me, i just feel like he should support me and my wife and my kid

@longwayoff

I wish my mother, a Mediterranean, long legged, raven haired beauty had done a bit more speculating about inherited characteristics before she married a short, fat, fair Welshman. Then I might have looked more like Sophia Loren and less like Harry Secombe.

😂😂😂

I think a lot of it is s pack of lies. She made many claims that are clearly false. 1. They were married in back garden by AofC just 2 of them. It is illegal to marry without 2 witnesses. This was not a wedding but more likely a rehearsal. 2. She claims not to have seen her sister Samantha for 19 or 20 years. A photo in paper of them both at Samantha's graduation 13 years ago and Samantha said they met after that too. Tell us about that photo Meg. They say the camera never lies. 3. Meghan claimed while she was pregnant Harry had a conversation and concern was raised about if baby would have dark skin. Harry said this conversation took place at very beginning of his relationship with Meghan, before they were married. So did this conversation get repeated more than once? Their account is not consistent. 4. Archie not made a prince because he might have dark skin. Meg said 2 parallel conversations took place - the one about baby maybe could have dark skin and another about Archie not being a Prince. When the Queen's sister Princess Margaret's (second child) had a child who was 5th in line to succession he was not given a title. Letters Patent dictates who can have a royal style HRH and title of Prince and Princess. Archie might be mad a Prince once Charles becomes King. However she only wanted Archie to have it as she wanted the taxpayer to pay for security. 5. Clearly there was a dispute about Princess Charlotte's dress or tights but maybe they were both upset and cried, or is only Meg allowed to be upset and cry. 6. They were cut off with no money. They resigned and wanted to be financially independent. That is what they put on Sussex Royal website at the time. Harry inherited about £30 million from his mother and great grandmother. Hardly had no money then.

If Charles refused to take phone calls would that be because he was fed up of Harry whining about wanting more money? A grown man of that age expecting his Dad to.support extravagant lifestyle. Good for Charles to cut them off.

@Malteser71

The problem is, nobody is allowed to discuss M without being called racist. It seems to trump everything.

It’s often ‘character’ that people don’t like. Not ‘skin colour.’

Yes this is what I think too.

Without context or more detail , it is difficult to know if the skin colour comment is racist or not. If it was it should have been flagged up and dealt with at the time.

Bringing it up in this fashion to Oprah tends to indicate that it was said to cause a “sensation“ as part of the tv interview to drum up more publicity.

I thought she said it to deflect from the question she was just asked.

Absolutely Why aren’t more people actually

Looking at the inconsistency and fallacy of what they’ve said
They’re unreliable witnesses as while I’m sympathetic to their issues with the press that’s about it

The documentary was viewed by 17 million in the USA which is the same number that watched the Caitlin Jenner documentary over there.
That created a lot of noise for a while and then the column inches cooled. This will all pass soon.

The latest picture they’ve released shows her holding Archie over her bump. Not something I’d do at that stage of pregnancy after a miscarriage! So they don’t want to be in the media but must do interviews and release pics for their adoring fans .

Yes it’s DM but a picture never lies right?

People are starving for social talks and gossips this will be a royal feast

The racism topic makes it ugly. If that was true then it had to be said. If its made up then its pathetic really.

We will never know the truth.

@Justjackie

Thomas Markle is appearing on Piers Morgan show tomorrow morning.

Why???!!

This is why she does not want anything to do with him.

That's not many - I imagine they will be pretty disappointed with 17M. On the lunchtime news it said figures weren't out yet but they were thinking it could be 100M.

This is why she does not want anything to do with him.

So she's not to be silenced but he is?

That doesn't seem like a lot of viewers considering the size of the US.

@Wakeupin2022

Sorry. I think that's bad of the father. Why would he do that? Why? Would you do that to your own child?! Especially one who has paint you in a bad light.

@secular39 not much worse than going on international TV and slatting your own family and in laws.

Are they the only people who should be heard and not "silenced"?

Right to reply and all that.

Sorry. I think that's bad of the father. Why would he do that? Why? Would you do that to your own child?! Especially one who has paint you in a bad light.

Like father like daughter and her husband. I don't agree with him selling stories. But I also think her and Harry are behaving appalingly and showing absolutely no respect for his father and grandmother.

I am only a couple of years older. My parents / inlaws are in their 70's. It's our turn to look out for them. I would never disrespect them in this way.

Porcupineintherough. We have mixed race and red hair in our family. We put no value or lack of value on any of it. But we have had these conversations with no white privilege.
