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

[selectabo]

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

No I do not

I read that the conversation about the colour of a babies skin( not even conceived at the time) was just a general chat like I wonder if he will have my nose or yours, my heir or yours, my skin shade or yours ? That all new parents have, I think this has just been blown out of context ?

This nonsense about Harry not being Charles son made Diana more angry than anything else that was said. Harry is the image of both Charles and Prince Phillip, whilst William is the image of Diana.

I think Harry has lots of anger towards the royal family about their treatment of Diana and wanted to protect Meghan from their toxic influence. I wish them both well. It cannot have been easy.

@intheenddoesitreallymatter

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.

Completely agree with the above

Believe them 100%

Harry is 💯 charles’ child.
I think Harry and Meghan needed an escape and they’ve created one.
I don’t believe their accusations at all but they obviously believe their own narrative.

Yes. I believe them

@liverpool1981

There is more to this that meets the eye. I don't think Harry is charles son. Why would they cut him off financially??

On the finances, isn’t that because they said they no longer wanted to be official members of the royal family and do official duties?

Isn’t that effectively what they’re ‘paid’ to do as royals but they resigned so aren’t being paid any more?

There could’ve been similar uproar if they’d continued to receive an allowance for not doing any royal work?

I thought Charles had footed the security Bill for quite a long time too? And Aldi there is no issue about the titles as Archie isn’t in line to the throne so it’s nothing about race. And Megan knew that anyway!

@LoisWilkersonslastnerve

I don't think they would lie about serious issues like racism and suicide. What a mess.

People lie about all sorts of things

They have been very economical with the truth about some parts of the story, eg the secret wedding. If they can lie convincingly about something which could not have happened ( Archbishop of Canterbury, non licensed premises, no witnesses!!!) they can lie , or be creative with the truth, or gild their version, about other things too.

Not convinced, though curiously, I think that in the main they believe the myths and half truths stories they have created.

Believe most of it, but I think they've embellished a lot for dramatic effect. I also reeeeally struggle to believe that she never googled him. I've googled men before going on a first date with them and they're not in direct line to the British throne

Yes

Very similar to what Diana was saying 25 years ago

I didn't believe the facts M threw in to bring her point across, it didn't seem quite genuine but rather rehearsed. I do believe the feelings were real though. They have made a lot of serious allegations, with consequences that I don't think they have thought quite through.
I do wish they could just go and be happy now and stop playing the victim.

I think you are being disingenuous. We aren’t talking about a mum and dad having a chat about their unborn child. This is a family member, a family member who comes from a family that have made some very near the mark comments about race before. Why is it so hard to believe the royal family members may have made a negative comment about a baby’s skin Colour?.

I thought it was mostly an act, a rehearsed one at that.

I'd have more respect for them if they'd stayed in Canada as per the original plan - though think now I'm the naive one to believe that was the original plan.

I believe that they were deeply unhappy, I believe that they were badly treated by the media and I believe that being a member of the royal family must be incredibly tough with lots of rules and regulations to follow. I think the individual incidents are probably a matter of perspective. For example Megan made Kate cry or Kate made Megan cry? It sounds like they were both pretty stressed and had an argument. That happens, doesn't make either of them the villain of the piece.

I don’t believe all of it. If they needed the money they could have done this without the hatchet job, this was revenge pure and simple. As for Charles cutting them off financially..... do they actually hear themselves!

@Cleverpolly3

Space cadets Also Harry came off much worse than she did.

All that bleating around being trapped.He always seemed quite happy living it up, shagging posh blondes, dressing up as a Nazi, stumbling out of nightclubs and shooting lions

My money is on her chewing him up and spitting him out in the not too distant future

Complely agree. It was really obvious tonight that he's not the sharpest tool in the box, he's very lucky to have Meghan. She comes across as very intelligent, I think she will bore of him. Highlight of the interview for me was the few shots of Archie, he is adorable.

No

I think they have exaggerated and manipulated ++
All very sad to be aired like this so publicly.

@Ianrankinfan

No . There are 2 sides to every story

There's 3 sides to every story "theirs" the "opposite side" and "the truth". We will never 100% know the truth we can only speculate.

I think she was probably absolutely miserable cut off from friends and family and following a strict protocol that is hard to understand while having the media attack you. Being royal is way less fun than being a celebrity. And the institution is full antiquated notions. I think the babies skin colour was probably taken out of context in my opinion. Harry’s affection for Meg does come across a bit like Tom Cruise bouncing about over Katie Holmes and that didn’t turn out too well. What I don’t understand is why they want to court more media in this manner this has just stirred up a new media frenzy was it worth it to get your truth out to strangers ?

No.

I think they are both incredibly damaged and have deeply embedded victim mentality. As such nothing that was done or given to them would be enough.
Everything was viewed as an attack on them. Like any job you don't like the T & Cs leave but don't expect your employer to keep paying you month on month.

I look forward to them giving back their own titles now they have spoken and broken from their prison and becoming Harry & Meghan Markle.

Why would they want ANY association with an institution that is racist and drove her to the verge of suicide. I also assume that as the media interest in her and their life together is so abhorrent to them will be retreating from public life now and living of their own money that they invest wisely.

Of course that doesn't have the same ring to it or benefits when it comes to cashing in on association with said family.

The shit about the title. They know fine well why he isn't a Prince, the wedding same as.

I hope their marriage works out for them as Harry just blew up his family relationships and well she doesn't really have any. There really isn't much going back from that.

No, it's embellished and we already know some of it is incorrect and has been disproven.
