That seems to be the main talking point from the press. It has been referenced by PageSix and the Today show in America.

H&M's Netflix release date is confirmed for 8 December. I never so that coming. I mean, who would have thought that they would try and outshine K&W again... and again...and again? <yawn>

or you could say it the other way round.

@antelopevalley Today 14:55
@Croque There are always events, birthdays and similar. You could just as easily argue William and Kate planned this tour to take the interest away from the Netflix release.

If that’s the case then W and C will have done them a favour as M herself is trying to distance herself from the series !

Confirmed by who?

You could, but it would be a foolish argument given that it was announced in July that Earthshot would be in Boston in December. Netflix has not yet published any formal confirmation yet of when the Sussexes series will be dropping - the date is still yet to be confirmed. The speculation has come in the last couple of weeks. I don’t think the Earthshot organisers are either psychic, or Netflix insiders.

Samcro · 29/11/2022 15:14

so its down to netfix and Earthshot not PW or PH

onlylarkin · 29/11/2022 15:22

Actually, the release date has not been confirmed, despite what The Mirror says.

So it is Earthshot vs. Made up tabloid bs to drive the H&M haters into a frenzy dreaming up all sorts of competition.

antelopevalley · 29/11/2022 15:29

@onlylarkin That is interesting. The paper know their audience I guess.

It's only the usual suspects with precisely that in mind. Same old, same old. 😉

I think that maybe Sunshine Sachs' replacements have got some new recruits!

Samcro · 29/11/2022 15:57

i don't dislike the Wales, just the earthshot thing

Yup - they are hopeless at distinguishing between the political stance taken by different newspapers. One day you are a Daily Mail reader, the next a Mirror reader when you never read either.
Okaaay 😂

Croque · 29/11/2022 16:07

If you are American and mix it up then fair enough but if you still make the mistake as a Brit then you must live in Dimdim Valley.

According to some papers William said this is his Super Bowl moment.

Which papers ? Anything I have read says that “ sources “ claim it will be William’s Super Bowl moment .
Slightly different.

Any member of the Royal family would be fine

What a lovely person you are towards people who make no difference in your everyday life. I'd say that I hoped someone would throw burger cartons at you, but I don't wish bad upon people for no reason 🤗

antelopevalley · 29/11/2022 16:31

@Readinginthesun You are right sorry, it says Royal source and the headline implies from him, but the article does not say that.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound 🤣

Actually the December broadcast date for the Sussexes’ Netflix series came for Page Six, the gossip column of the New York Post, not a UK tabloid.

onlylarkin · 29/11/2022 18:40

On the thread about this topic, the ops source was the Mirror, but Page Six and the New York Post are not reliable news sources either.

Gossip Magazine = Tabloid

It's in the NYT, straight from the ambassador 😂

“This is his Super Bowl moment of the year,” said Dame Karen Price, the British ambassador to the United States, “and he uses it to shine the light on some of the most impactful projects that are doing amazing things around the world to help save the planet.” Compared with a traditional royal tour, Ms. Price said, this visit is “much more focused on the work being done in climate change.” The prince and princess are “very natural people,” she said. “They want to meet ordinary people who are working hard for their communities.”

You're not wrong, no need to apologise.

Why would the US be either interested or leading newspapers with this? No one in this country would be chatting about Biden coming here and he's the leader of one of the two most powerful countries in the world. Even Obama, who was popular, wasn't talked about before his visit. Only when he was photoed with the Queen or with the Cambridges was there any interest.
The US has got a lot of crap going on at the moment. They're not going to be talking about something that's not yet happened yet. But I'm sure they'll be in pictures in newspapers when they get stateside. Especially if she wears something gorgeous. (I don't personally like her style so I'm so hoping she ups the fashion stakes. I loved the white dress at the SA presidents banquet last week.)

SenecaFallsRedux · 29/11/2022 19:39

I wonder if people who are comparing it to a Superbowl have ever actually seen a Superbowl. It's such an odd sort of hyperbole.

The poster claimed that William made the Superbowl comment, so they are indeed wrong.
