For those that are interested - I know I am.

Does anyone know when the appeal judgement will be made.

@StartupRepair

Can't stop imagining the Queen, wide-eyed, leaning towards Oprah and saying 'Nobody knows this but I have my real birthday on a different day'.

They are like celebrities but they use British titles. M calling herself the DoS while telephone a US senator is awful.

@BananaPB

Apparently they asked for both verses of God Save The Queen
At the gala where he was presenting awards to American service personnel? How weird.

@StormzyinaTCup
That is unfair. I have not brought up PA on this thread, except once to mention it in the context of the Press when we were all having an interesting conversation about that. I purposely have not mentiond PA, because I get criticism if ever I do. However, others on here have brought him up... so your comments should be addressed to them, not me. Nor did I bring up the Queen's birthday.
It seems to me that I have to carry the can for all those who don't agree 100% with all that some posters on here say!
And because I don't always, there are personal comments, names and insults, (who wants to be called 'mindless' or 'manipulative'?) and aims to shut down other opinions and conversation (not you, but others)

If this is to be a thread just for those who agree 100% with negativity about MM, it should say so in the thread title and then we'd all know where we stand.

queenofarles · 16/11/2021 07:57

So true, I liked the previous thread, a few are just making it soo exhausting to have any sort of discussion.

PickupaPenguin8 · 16/11/2021 08:04

I am open mouthed with disbelief about the national anthem. That is just so crass.. its’s beyond parody.

queenofarles · 16/11/2021 08:04

Oh Darn it, was supposed to paste stormz Post , in my previous post .

Gwrach · 16/11/2021 08:13

Sorry it was me who brought PA up whilst I argued the case that there is a difference between white lies to protect privacy and security e.g not always disclosing their locations truthfully.

In contrast to the poor behaviour of lying to a court of law which MM has done and I suppose we will have to wait a few months if the Pizza Express man does or is summoned to take the stand.

BananaPB · 16/11/2021 08:17

@SickAndTiredAgain Yes , at the Veterans gala. They also had a cameraman and sound guy filming for their Netflix documentary so we might see the moment on the programme at a later date.

Gwrach · 16/11/2021 08:17

I'll also add, asking for GSTQ to be sung at a American Military Awards Ceremony is crass. But that's another thread in itself.

I watched clips yesterday of the court proceeding, the word Hypocrite was used rather a lot in relation to MM. I can't disagree.

PickupaPenguin8 · 16/11/2021 08:18

Who is actually going to care enough about their doings to watch this Netflix documentary though?

twinklystar23 · 16/11/2021 08:19

I find it somewhat jaw dropping that the DoS has chosen to bring this case knowing that it would attract publicity on both the US and UK at least. To "forget" about meetings and emails with JK to me either shows arrogance (given NDA JK was bound by) or extreme naiviety
Perhaps it's possible that as the case was about the letter at the outset she had not thought that FF would be relevant to the case or dragged into it?
Particularly as if my memory serves me correctly court proceedings were filed sometime before the book was published.

Am also interested in what happened re JK. He for one would have known the truth. As the place have decided to "fight back" would they have been going through staff emails with the DoS and found these emails. Which damage her credibility whilst the palace maintains a relatively safe distance from the fallout that's occurred and how this will now pan out.

Either way the general public will go with the headlines of the published apology. I think it's unlikely many will accept she "forgot"

I think she just acts in the spur of the moment without thinking anything through. Of course she didn’t forget.

@HeddaGarbled

For a long time, this and the previous thread were interesting, with some really informative and balanced discussion. Now it’s just the usual suspects arguing with each other. Pity.
Hedda. Can I add my belated apologies.

They need to create something for Netflix and this would probably be quicker to make than their animated series Pearl

I don't know how true this is but the media were mentioning behind the scenes commentary of their wedding as a possible Netflix project Grin
queenofarles · 16/11/2021 08:35

Watching Adele interview with Oprah made me think why didn’t Meghan discuss her relationship with her Dad on Oprah? Why didn’t she bring the whole letter thing up, they had ample time , theyve conveniently left many things out , like the whole deal with Archie’s title and security out , to garner more support I guess ,
And now these these revelations in court are making them look like absolute hypocrites.

@queenofarles Did you see this? www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1521239/prince-harry-meghan-markle-case-second-oprah-interview-neil-sean-royal-family-news-vn

I know it's the Express and speculative but imagine part 2 happening? Media reports have Adele earning crazy money for her sit down with Oprah so I think the Sussexes would be tempted to try for the same.

StormzyinaTCup · 16/11/2021 08:54

@Rousette, my post was a generalisation of what has happened recently on these threads and not a direct aim at one person in particular.

As far as the National Anthem being played, I haven't heard about that!

queenofarles · 16/11/2021 08:56

Damage control perhaps ?
If they go a head , then truly they are so Detached from RL, it’s getting tedious .
they can’t dictate their own narrative in the media,
By continuing to bad mouth the RF ,

The Queen is so Frail , I hardly think she will be around much longer ,

They will really damage their image,

artquejtion · 16/11/2021 08:59

I think she just acts in the spur of the moment without thinking anything through.

On the contrary, I think she is extremely savvy and plans carefully, as per the example of composing the letter to her dreadful father and 'working' with OS, the OW interview.

As others have said, she needs to control the narrative and she needs the publicity, therefore, colluding, misleading and even lying are all a means to an end for both of them. It appears she has the expectation that she won't be exposed and even when she is, she appears to still motor on regardless, with little more than a shrug of her shoulders.

Having clearly been shown to have lied to the court, I think must be somewhat unstabling for her, because in this case it is clear cut, she lied, it cannot be cannot be dismissed as misogny, racism, the media narrative, online trolls.etc. This is very clear cut and does elevate the doubt that manipulating the media is not just for 'privacy' reasons.

Like a lot of others on this thread, I was a huge fan of hers, she was such a breath of fresh air, I had so much sympathy for her, having the misfortune and embarrassment to have an awful family who really tried to sabotage her relationship with H and the RF.

She is smart, articulate, beautiful and very charismatic, however I now look at her philanthropy and interviews with a very sceptical and raised eyebrow.

She appears to be an inconsistent version of the authentic, humanitarian she wants to present as her public persona..

Wonder how many lies they'll tell in a follow up interview.

ilovepuppies2019 · 16/11/2021 09:08

Does anyone know more about this? I've quoted below but it comes from this article: www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/royals/meghans-big-gripe-about-royal-life-revealed-in-bombshell-email/news-story/1ef063278a630321b8f7e2216e8bb084

"Meghan hit back with her own 22-page witness statement filed into court in response.

In it she told how she was “puzzled” by Mr Knauf’s decision to include “private texts regarding deeply personal family matters”."

A 22 page response. That's intense. The article also says that she insisted to JK that he cleared up a misconception that she had a stylist because "it’s the only thing I seem to still have any control over – my personal styling." It's interesting that the misconception over a stylist seemed very important to her. Of all the things to clear up that would have been at the bottom of my list if I was her. I wonder why that's so critical?
