The royal family

What now for M&H

I find the whole family and royal family (The Firm) aspect of Megxit very interesting.

Just wondering what now for M&H? Will they continue on with the strategy of talking and writing about the royal family or will things now change? I think the half in half out strategy on their terms would have worked for M&H but I think the RF were right to knock it on the head, it would never have worked for the RF, Harry was ready to go and Meghan was never going to just slot in with the system.

Just looking at Harry, I think the guy really needs the whole circus of fighting with the RF in public to stop, for his own mental health. He obviously has issues that he needs to come to terms with, he really needs to do this in private but this is at odds with how they need to make money now. I really fear for him the person.

If they keep going with the fighting then I think that's it for them and the RF. If they are to reconcile with the RF, how then do they make a living? I would imagine QE has left quite a provision for Harry in her will so perhaps the money making aspect will be less of a priority. I could see Charles being more open to a reconciliation but not sure about William.

Not trying to start a thread to bash anyone, just interested in other opinions.

I’ve had friends who’ve had intensive therapy and lashed out at family etc in the immediate aftermath but then mellowed after a period and been able to see things from the other side and relations were largely restored

I think we’ve seen Harry lash out in this way but wonder if he’s managed to make it to the other side of acceptance (if that’s the right word) or is he stuck. I hope for his sake he’s moved on.

Yes that post was really horrible
I am actually taken aback by the nastiness and vitriol in the post tbh
It says more about the poster than Harry and Meghan

I am allowed my view, just as you are. Their actions have influenced my opinion of them, nothing else. Their direct words in SA, what they said on OW (and the decision to do it, knowing how elderly his GPs were and that last Magazine interview, again her quoted words.' The statement was utterly hypocritical too.

Roussette · 14/09/2022 14:12

There was talk a few days ago that the children were coming over, they could be here for all we know

Ohnonevermind · 14/09/2022 14:13

It’s hard to know whether to bring the kids or not in these situations. There’s no right answer and it’s none of our business really

Yes you are allowed your view after all this is a public forum.
I am also ‘allowed’ my opinion on your post.
I thought it was an extremely nasty post

PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog · 14/09/2022 14:23

@Lampzade That's fine then isn't it, I didn't call you names though did I?

PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog · 14/09/2022 14:24

Not names sorry. 'vile, horrible, vitriolic; ect.

You didn’t call me names.I didn’t call you names either.
I simply said that your post was nasty and vitriolic. That is my opinion.

PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog · 14/09/2022 14:28

My post was mine also, let's agree to disagree and stop talking to each other,

Snog · 14/09/2022 14:30

A photo is doing the rounds from the recent Fab Four walkabout showing what looks very much a mic pack under Meghan's dress.

I'm not sure how any of the RF can safely say anything to M&H other than comments about the weather.

@skullbabe

this is where people who help select juries and prep witnesses make fortunes etc in the US

We all have this skill, but some are better than others. This skill could probably be programmed too into a computer, which would probably lack human bias (depending on the programmer) so could have a real scientific application in the future

Off topic*
They have tried this kind of thing before - AI and machine learning systems are built by very fallible humans and their inbuilt biases see:

www.propublica.org/article/machine-bias-risk-assessments-in-criminal-sentencing

www.theverge.com/2016/3/24/11297050/tay-microsoft-chatbot-racist

(An old one but this shows how bias creeps in)

www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/12/how-self-tracking-apps-exclude-women/383673/

That being said - the important thing is to learn about these biases and ensure that systems are built with diverse viewpoints.

No problem

Roussette · 14/09/2022 14:34

I think you'll find that's a doctored photo.

Sorry to disappoint

Yep

Snog · 14/09/2022 14:37

Oh, is there evidence that the Meghan mic pack photo has been doctored? I haven't seen it discredited.

Snog · 14/09/2022 14:39

Apparently someone in her defence said "Maybe she wears her belt on the inside and that's the buckle. I often wear my belt on the inside with the buckle off-centre. I'm sure many people do."

Of course they do...

Neither have I. I noticed that strange shape in earlier photos before it was mentioned.

skullbabe · 14/09/2022 14:41

Snog · 14/09/2022 13:23

Does Meghan have to curtsy to the Princess of Wales now?

Of course she does

Roussette · 14/09/2022 14:42

I wonder what you're reading

You provide evidence it isn't doctored then

When even the DFail calls it "a wild theory" I think we can safely say this story is not a go-er

skullbabe · 14/09/2022 14:42

PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog · 14/09/2022 13:13

FWIW, I think they will see what they get in the will from HMQ and from Charles and if they don't deem it enough, they will go back to flinging mud for money. The 'our 2 years as working royals were shit' narrative is wearing thin now, but they have a whole raft of 'reawakened trauma, unsupported in grief, cast out and cut off' narrative to respin now.

I think they are both equally and utterly hideous, self serving and arrogant and how they could write and publish that statement I don't know.

Ok

Some posters so wish that it was true.

The HRH’s don’t generally curtsy to each other.

Thats why the stories about Christmas in sandringham are all about finding the Queen as early as possible in the day to get the curtsy out of the way.

Roussette · 14/09/2022 14:12

I was thinking that - how do any of us know where the children are?

Snog · 14/09/2022 14:50

There is the same shape box on her left hip again under her clothes at the jubilee service at St Paul's.

Seems like a strange coincidence.
