What with the award in a few days and the book in January they're ramping up the game.

Robert Jobson has stated that the supposed intrusive photo of H, M and A was taken by an accredited photographer at the event with Archbishop Tutu .

ITV Royal Editor, Chris Ship, has also confirmed that the accredited photographer was at the event with the approval of Meghan and Harry and that afterwards they spoke inside to Tom Bradby. All approved by the couple themselves.

These are really very elementary issues that are easy to prove to be factually correct/incorrect and the fact that several of the photos in these trailers are not of H & M being hounded are just such sloppy misrepresentations to make that it's all rather laughable (but very sad at the same time.)

The fact that there are 6 whole episodes to cover and scrutinize they are going to be picked apart frame by frame at this rate. It doesn't bode well that even the trailers are showing incorrect photographic shots. They really have sold their souls to the devil with all of this. Absolutely no good whatsoever apart from their sordid fee is going to come out of this.

Also, they are so mad at the tabloids but the tabloids are having a field day with all this free clickable content being sent their way - they are going to write hundreds of articles picking apart every single aspect of this programme and it's going to generate hundreds of thousands of bankable clicks for them.

I'm quite enjoying all the hard work the internet's putting in to analysing the photos 😁

This is quite an amusing piece on the guitar shots:

Anyone else think the cap and glasses shots look like an attempt to channel John Lennon or just me?!

Love this @CathyorClaire

Readinginthesun · 05/12/2022 19:56

well done Netflix for keeping the comments open . Don’t know when I last laughed so much 😂

CathyorClaire · 05/12/2022 19:59

Love this @CathyorClaire

Thank you. I rather liked the understated but pointed 'he's playing an unconventional chord' comment 😁

I guess the yoko Ono suggestion, breaking up the beetles

Good point.

A reference to the 'Fab Four'?

It is like a soap opera which is why it's so compelling - the whole saga is deliciously gossipy. But it's this point in a piece of fiction where you are yelling at the TV "don't do it, are you crazy" at whatever stupid thing the creator is getting one of the characters to do to create a bit of drama:

going into the dark scary basement after hearing a strange noise
ignoring all signs and going out alone with the serial killer
having a big pointless but relationship ending row out of nowhere just so that you can have the romantic race to the airport at the end of the movie

I'm assuming that Meghan and Harry don't have anyone advising them who has their best interests at heart because 'telling their truth' again over and over every six months is getting them nowhere but is making lots of money for everyone else - Oprah, Netflix, tabloids etc.

It’s making them lots of money too or they wouldn’t be doing it.

CathyorClaire · 05/12/2022 20:17

I’m starting to think Netflix is trolling M and H. Or someone there is.

It's starting to seem like it.

I think the 'no-one knows the truth' segment comprises two separately made comments spliced together to make one grandiose yet nonsensical pronouncement.

I'd almost feel sorry for him if he hadn't been such a clown as to get involved with them in the first place and expect it to end well.

The new Netflix comments are brutal again.

why the sloppy editing using other people. It makes them them look like idiots and the director.

They might be getting a ‘triple of mopes’ award instead.

Harry will never be king.

But he may be Netflix's next Tiger King.

Xenia · 05/12/2022 20:27

You could not make it up as to using those fake photos! It does nothing to help Harry and M to do that, given the problems over factual points in the past. Why not just use real shots involving crowds crowding round the couple instead of in effect lying.

Just had a look....ouch!

The documentary will get loads of viewers for all the wrong reasons. Watching a car crash happen and laughing. It’s actually just really tragic. One day their kids are going to watch it .

CathyorClaire · 05/12/2022 21:03

Because apparently real shots which would have involved a revolving but limited press rota would have been far less dramatic.

In a related note the shots of them with Archie as a baby leaving Archbishop Tutu's residence were apparently taken by one of three approved photographers from an approved position.

I really don't know how a couple already widely perceived as liars expect to be taken seriously after these howlers.

I'm fascinated by the use of the Katie Price photograph.

BlackFriday · 05/12/2022 21:21

Where can you see the Netflix comments?

Ohnonevermind · 05/12/2022 21:25

@BlackFriday

if you go on you tube and look for Harry Meghan Netflix official trailer and read the comments, many are very funny

queenofarles · 05/12/2022 21:28

I'm fascinated by the use of the Katie Price photograph. and Trumps attorney ,

Are all 6 episodes being released on the same date?

I don't understand the marketing strategy. The trailers are already getting old, with people losing interest. It now seems like overkill, particularly on the 'high stakes' front. Everyone will have drama fatigue by the time the episodes actually air.

TheTantrumoftheToddlerIsThere · 05/12/2022 22:40

They are already dissecting the trailer, image by image.

This is just the beginning.

I hope they know what they are doing, because they are going to tear them apart if anything doesn’t add up.

I read somewhere, it was one this week, 3 next week. Aw, something to binge watch that will warm the cockles of our hearts with all the love and kindness of this Christian season.

Or Daddy cut me off my Duchy allowance. So I had to go and sign with devil Netflix a deal to pay for my new Montecito pad

I am yawning already. This is so glaringly obvious, why would they do this if it is not for the millions they are getting paid

I think it is made for the American or foreign public. They are more removed and will not know who Katie Price is, nor the difference between a press rota and a mob of reporters. We are not the audience fellows

Coronateachingagain · 05/12/2022 22:57

They don't care about the UK, it is a much smaller market and can't play home. They are going for the bigger more profitable and gullible audiences, who will naturally not be able to capture all the tricks and edits done for effect.
