Meghan's long-awaited podcast has launched. Sorry if there's a thread about this already. Has anyone listened to it yet? Thoughts?

Princess Anne and Zara were Olympians, so the royal family was clearly supportive of ‘ambition’

it was said MM could continue to act so was
supportive of her acting ambition

Admirable as it is, there's just one problem with lower key, grassroots charity work SilverLiningPlaybook ...

It doesn't pay the bills

Yup. Maybe they could actually get proper jobs . Harry has loads of time to play polo it seems.

Just read this . Good grief , can she ( they ) not let it go , move on etc ?
Saying she wouldn’t be able to stop off her DC at school as there would be 40 members of the press there is absolute nonsense . There are strict rules in the U.K. about the filming of Royal children .
And still maintaining she had to give up her passport !

How does she think the Cambridges manage?

thenightsky · 29/08/2022 13:41

but only seems to have a few well worn anecdotes and an axe to grind about a job she quit 3 years ago

A short term job of 18 months duration.

Not sure if already has been linked and I haven't read it all but felt nauseous after a few paragraphs. Especially when Harry makes yet another little 'cameo'

I'm in the car at the moment so can't work out if I feel travel sick or nauseous from the guff

Thanks derxa I really enjoyed that article and thought it was quite an insight

Did you actually learn anything new ?

Yes in general. It rubber-stamped what I thought I knew

To me it was yet another swipe at the RF . She was there for 5 minutes yet still dining out on her “ ordeal”.
Which members of the press used the n word when talking about their DC ?
40 members of the press every time she dropped off her DC at school if they were in the U.K. ?
Harry has “ lost “ his father ?
Seriously ?

Arnaquer · 29/08/2022 14:03

' even my blood type is a positive' snort.

Readinginthesun · 29/08/2022 14:04

Apparently after the OW interview , Charles wanted to issue a point by point rebuttal but HM said no .
I would think even HM is losing patience by now.

We're all different aren't we? .My opinion is diametrically opposed to yours. That's fine.
One thing I did know though as I was reading it....reactions from some on here. Very predictable!

And I also knew that some of the responses would be gushingly approving .
As you say we are all different . Thank goodness..

Readinginthesun · 29/08/2022 14:15

Tell me @Roussette and others .
If life is wonderful now , why not just concentrate on that ? Why the need to constantly remind people how ( allegedly) badly treated she was for a few months?

susan12345678 · 29/08/2022 14:15

Gosh, it's not at all flattering

Ohnonevermind · 29/08/2022 14:17

The article was the same old moaning, lies and exaggerating wrapped in a saccharine coating so sweet it made my teeth hurt

Luckily (unless you subscribe) you can only view it once 😀

Harrys ‘comment’ about the pair of palm trees in the garden was hilarious. That they were joined together like Meghan and Harry 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤮

I suppose your question could be answered by asking why you feel the need to come on here and talk about something that was, according to you, brief and a while ago.
She wants to. She can. You want to. You can.

Ohnonevermind · 29/08/2022 14:20

The best revenge is living well, someone should explain that to Meghan.

i moved during the summer (hideous neighbours) and have to say moving on is the best thing for your mind, not rehashing the past at every opportunity

Arnaquer · 29/08/2022 14:21

@Ohnonevermind lol I missed the palm trees on the first read. The pair of them are comedy gold 🤣

Arnaquer · 29/08/2022 14:24

Credit where it's due though she does look stunning on the cover

I am not being paid to post . This is a discussion board so I can say what I want ( within reason) .
Meghan uses her title to make money . If it was so bad , drop the title , concentrate on those lovely DC and love the best life and move on . How much longer are we goi g to hear how awful it was ?

susan12345678 · 29/08/2022 14:26

Imagine how refreshing it would have been if she had responded with gracious, pleasant remarks about the BRF, or expressed some humility - and gratitude - over the fact that the BRF paid for the mansion she is living in. But she talks as though it's all just her due. It's quite odd.
