So, do you believe the royal couples revelations made tonight?

[selectabo]

I did. felt more authentic than I've expected. You?

I used to entertain the idea that Harry possibly wasn’t Charles’s son, but they have such similar eyes, he has to be his!!! Agree with other posts about two sides to a story. It was very believable and if true I feel dreadfully sorry for them. Megan is an actress though.... and Harry clearly very in love with his wife

I don't have Freeview. How can I watch this?

Two sides to every story. I’m sure it is difficult obeying the ‘rules’.
But having passport, keys etc taken away? Didn’t they go on lots of holidays? What about the baby shower trip to America?

@TimetohittheroadJack

No one taught her the national anthem? She didn't know she had to courtesy. Bullshit. Anyone watching any bloody princess teen film knows you curtesy to the queen.

The wedding thing - bullshit.

Don't tell lies if you want people to believe you.

But undoubtedly the press was shit to her,

She explained that. She said she knew it was done in public, but not inside a Royal household.

You can get itvplayer on your phone as an app @NigellaSeed.

Harry isn't Hewitt's. She wasn't with Hewitt anywhere near the time Harry was conceived.

She was certainly making the most of her acting skills.

Yes without a shadow of a doubt.

I went in somewhat skeptical, I came out appalled.

Imagine a father refusing to answer to phone to his son who is halfway across the world, his wife having a nervous breakdown with a young baby whilst probably reliving the death of his mother all the while being hounded by paparazzi.

What a disgrace. Harry comes across quite stoical but you could see how hurt he was to talk about that. The same when he discussed William.

I think a lot more has gone on than has met the eye. Her surrendering her passport was especially alarming.

Well she was a better actress tonight than she ever was on Suits.

Yes.
Plus the more I think about it, the more it seems like it was William who made the racist comment - as there has never been a clear reason for the brothers ‘rift’, yet that would make sense & saying it was him would be extremely damaging to a future king.

Surely the thing with the passports is they are given to your aide/security/staff for safekeeping - your aide who travels with you everywhere and who hands it to you at check in and then takes it back after passport control. Same with keys etc. So to get it you need to ask for it. Cue - why? Where are you going? Who are you meeting? Etc. I don't think it's unreasonable to find that stifling and a little frightening.

@braceletsandbangles

Well she was a better actress tonight than she ever was on Suits.

And him?

Yes and I like them even more now.

@LaurieFairyCake

It's so obvious that Harry is Charles son - he looks just like him in that interview 🙄 - can't believe anyone is still trotting that out

I believe that they believe it - they are not lying

He also looks just like Prince Phillip. I noticed at Williams wedding how similar they look.

She explained that. She said she knew it was done in public, but not inside a Royal household

That’s Harry’s error then, if there’s certain things that are typical in your family, especially in his family you should tell a new partner so they’re not left embarrased or wrong footed, why didn’t he tell her? It’s weird

@Beebumble2

They probably needed to ask permission for trips due to security arrangements, accommodation and the likes, but I agree it sounds a bit over the top that they didn't have access to the documents. slightly odd but this is the royal family we're talking about. Lots of odd things that don't make sense.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

That makes sense @fairydust11.

But whoever it was she was dead right to get her baby away from an environment where people were discussing "how black" he was going to be.

I mean, what the actual fuck?!

@willibald

No

For those who reply solid 'No', what do you not believe? Everything? Just curious.

No, I don’t

@DisappearingGirl

I do believe them in the sense that I think this is how they genuinely felt about events. And I think it must have been a massive shock for Meghan to join a dysfunctional and stiff-upper-lip British family. And yes the media have printed loads of crap about her.

However I think the main issue seems to be that both Harry and Meghan felt the Royal Family should be defending her in the media. And that just doesn't happen - loads of Royals (mainly women) have been pilloried in the media over the decades and everyone knows the Royal Family just don't respond. If they did respond, the media would love it and would just do it even more to get a response. I think Harry and Meghan saw it as a lack of support when it's just how the Royal Family have always been.

Completely agree. The ‘institution’ don’t get involved in tit for tat with the press. They never have done and yes the press sometimes do treat people atrociously and I do feel sorry for Meghan in that respect. They were brutal with her.

But.... the royals don’t get involved. So they haven’t singled out Meghan, the simply don’t get involved at all.

Also with regards to the security, I did initially think that’s a bit harsh taking away his security however, as someone pointed out, why should the British tax payer fund Harry’s security when he lives in Canada and isn’t actually a working royal?

I do think that is how they feel and it is their truth, but as a op mentioned earlier, the institution will have their, different, version and that will be how they view it.

It’s just sad that it’s all come to this for everyone really and I hope they all somehow make up, although I’m sure that’s unlikely

I feel like he left a cult and came out of the other side.

What he said and William and Charles. There is no coming back from that.

I feel sorry for all involved.

Its like the royal family are deeply unhappy in general.

Also, why do they hold parties for the press every year.

Very easy to believe, esp stuff about KM and Charles. And the fact they are racist is well documented through Philip's public comments if nothing else! I hope for once this makes a difference

It's a lot of fucking hassle to go through if none of it is true. Why would they?

I thought they were saying quite clearly that, sometimes, for some things, the RF or their staff do get involved with the press. But they do it in a behind the scenes schmoozy sort of way, and that for whatever reason cough racism cough anti-outsiders they didnt use this influence to protect Meghan.

@DogsAreShit

It's a lot of fucking hassle to go through if none of it is true. Why would they?

Agree

People saying that Harry isn’t Charles’s son - I get that it’s a compelling theory but you only have to Google ‘young Prince Phillip’ to see that Harry is so incredibly and undeniably alike to his grandfather that it blows that theory completely out of the water. I’m sure Charles and the family did worry about the paternity when Harry was small though and perhaps a test was done.
