Sit tight, she’s on...

Oprah is annoying me already.

@Puzzledandpissedoff

Interesting, too, that Meghan speaking alone was at pains to explain her worries about hers and Archie's security, then this once Harry was there:

"I even wrote letters to his family saying, ‘Please, it’s very clear the protection of me or Archie is not a priority. I accept that. That is fine. Please keep my husband safe"

A little odd, no?

Is it totally out of the realms of possibility that she wanted security for herself but then realising that she wasn’t going to get it based on her ‘position’ in the family that she then fought for at least Harry to keep his?

I honestly feel like I watched a different programme to a lot of people here.

@Chloemol

The way I see it, they have had their two minutes of worldwide fame, got their anger at the RF off their chest ( destroying any chance of Harry coming back into the fold for a long time, if ever) put across their take, knowing the RF will never be able to respond

In a couple of days time it will be fish and chip wrapping, and they can do as they wish, live in the US, never return to this country, make as much money as they want , but having lost all their family apart from Megs mum

Sad really but it’s their actions throughout that got them here

H is not a little boy. He is almost 40 years old. He whinges and whines like a little boy all the time. He never appears to have grown up.

His wife is suicidal - then immediately get his therapist (the one he has talked about for years) to speak to her. They have access to specialists then whinge and whine no one helps them.

Racists comments are wrong and an investigation needs to be held - so say the name of the individual rather than vague and smearing everyone with a vague statement - several years ago/possibly before they were married..... deal with it then H not sit on it for an interview

They come over as spoilt children who didn't get their own way so are lashing out at anyone and everyone. I personally feel sorry for his older brother - dignified and hard working not the Nazi wearing/ P calling/faux worried about the environment (cannot have more than 2 children - sly dig at brother but damages the environment more than most 6 children families! But don't you dare criticise the man child

@cabingirl

Also he completely contradicts her version of the racist skin colour comment - she says there were comments to Harry during her pregnancy.

He says it was one comment before they got married.

Not saying it wasn't a horrible thing to hear but it's not some constant barrage of skin colour related comments coming at the same time as the discussion on titles etc.

This....

It is reprehensible whenever it was said, and I do believe it was but it is different if it is being said to/about someone already pregnant.

Harry said it was before they were engaged, Meghan said when she was expecting Archie. Inconsistent.

I clicked on the wrong quote - sorry

I think a history of having mismatched actions and words makes people wary of taking what they say at face value unfortunately

In what way would Archie not have had Royal Protection? I mean would he likely be out without his parents riding his bike up and down the street with with neighbourhood kids? I doubt it. So if he was with his parents and let’s say a kidnap attempt took place are Harry’s royal protection officers going to stand back and say ‘have Archie, we’re not paid to watch him’? What a load of bollocks. And maybe don’t spend £14(?) million on a house if you’re worried about affording protection costs once you’ve got to pay from your own pockets.

I thought it came across as very scripted. An Oscar award-winning performance some might say.

My feeling exactly @Goingferalonfurlough! They could have even lived away from a celebrity enclave and stopped going on TV!

I even wrote letters to his family saying, ‘Please, it’s very clear the protection of me or Archie is not a priority. I accept that. That is fine. Please keep my husband safe.

Very passive aggressive statement. And why should the British public pay for them to live in a foreign country, no longer serving the UK or its interests, in the lap of luxury? Why would they expect that? Pay for it yourself or change your lifestyle. People don’t actually NEED to live in mansions.

@ChocolateSantaisthebestkind

My feeling exactly *@Goingferalonfurlough*! They could have even lived away from a celebrity enclave and stopped going on TV!

But that is how they make their living. Like it or not they are celebrity personalities, and to afford to live they have to work.

Would you tell a dr to give up their career because their family was a total shite and they had to move away?

Harry has behaved appallingly, by the standards of any family. I don’t know how his father or brother will ever be able to repair that. Not a single royal will ever trust them again now they know that every private conversation is fuel for chat shows.

Would you tell a dr to give up their career because their family was a total shite and they had to move away?

I would if the doctor was asking me to top up their salary and buy them a new house.

Right so you don’t want to pay for them, but you also don’t want them to earn a living.

I mean, come on 😂

Harry has put every single one of his eggs in meghans basket. He’s burnt so many bridges now, and it was very very clear that he was not the orchestrator of that interview. He’s clearly hurt and damaged by what’s occured, but that interview was all about Meghan

I thought it was interesting that Harry was sitting in the chicken den, what was that all about? semiotically comes across like he is captured and caged. Also, the wholesome collecting of rescue chicken eggs, felt somehow symbolic. But for what?

I wonder if he got an earful for saying that the UK was his home, which he corrected quickly by saying that's where I grew up. Because of the UK is his true home and Meghan's is California then the whole magic fairytale love story don'ts quite fit.

doesn't

Harry said with regard to getting help for Meghan “that’s not a conversation that would be had. I guess I was ashamed of admitting it to them.”

Ashamed ? Doesn’t this make a mockery of the Heads Together initiative and all the ‘we must talk about MH’ ? It’s ok for him to get help, but when it’s his wife , he’s ashamed.

What are you on about now?? Honestly some of the shite that people actually think is just utterly bizarre.

If they hadn’t spent so much money on a massive house they wouldn’t be short of money! It’s not like they need 9 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms - neither of them have family coming to stay pandemic or no pandemic

The whole thing is a load of bollocks really. Ms passport may have been in safe keeping at the Palace but she was free to and see friends abroad and visit her mother.
Harry could have asked his own therapist for a recommendation for someone to help M. He could have paid for it himself. No need to ask the Palace.
The whole Prince/not Prince thing is done according to rules which are set in stone. M should have gone to speak to the Queen or Charles for clarification, but ‘H’ was left to have all the conversations which then filtered down to her. Of course Archie would have been protected whilst out with them. When he started school, he would have had protection, certainly once Charles was King. If he didn’t, they could have paid for it out of their own money as Andrew did. It would have been a lot cheaper than their lifestyle now.
The story about Kate seems to have really got to her. Did she expect the Palace to issue statements about who did not or did make each other cry? They aren’t schoolgirls. It’s embarrassing.
She seems to have no idea whatsoever about what she was taking on in the first place. If she did no research, who is at fault? She comes across as very very naive and gullible.
The story about already being married has been shown to be untrue, but no thought has been given as to how it comes across. The nation was duped and Welby embarrassed and made to look duplicitous? Bloody stupid of them to mention it at all, especially when they are being misleading.
They are living in a massive mansion, the three of them, which cost an eye watering amount. They could have bought a much smaller house in much less expensive area. Quietly got on with their lives and attempted to heal the rifts with ALL their families. Instead they are professional victims who appear to have no gratitude, Grace or dignity.
I cannot see how either of them can ever be seen with the RF again. Charles, William and the Queen must be absolutely devastated.
They are also hanging the skin colour quite over someone’s head as a bargaining chip. We don’t know the context in which it was said and the timing is different according to each of them.
The whole thing is a farce. I think they both believe their narrative, but it’s the narrative or two very immature and damaged people. Thank God they have gone now and hopefully won’t have to hear any more or their ‘poor me’ rhetoric.

Christ they’re not even allowed to buy a house now!

What IS it with the British public thinking they can dictate every single little part of their life?

If course they can buy a house, but if money is an issue and the poor darlings have to do some ‘work’ to pay for their protection, why spend a sickening amount on a vast mansion in an exclusive area?

@Ostryga of course they can buy a house. But if they’re worried about money which is what Harry said then maybe spending £11 million on a place with a ridiculous number of bathrooms was a bit excessive?

@GoLightlyontheEarth

But they’re not allowed to work remember? If they make a tv appearance, or sign a Netflix deal they are utterly vilified.

They need a property that has enough space around to ensure they can make it secure. They also only had the previous place for a few months, so needed to find somewhere quickly that fit the bill.

I don’t think money has been an issue, but whilst in the U.K. they definitely deserved to have the same level of protection as any other high profile royals. A private firm that hasn’t worked with the royals before would not be the same. That’s the issue here.
