[CathyorClaire]

The long awaited documentray is hitting the screen on December 8th:

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

They're weirdly silent about it given that (apparently??) it's coming out quite soon. They haven't even confirmed the date, but it's being reported everywhere. They normally confirm dates of everything coming in the next month, even non Netflix-original stuff.

Not only have they not confirmed the date, they've never acknowledged the existence of this alleged unnamed 'documentary'.

That's just not how NF operate, so something strange is going on.

*And THERE we have it.

It is TERRIBLE that she thinks "so very highly of herself"!

She should, rather, think lowly of herself, in fact, she should think as lowly of herself as @Serenster and other random posters on Mumsnet think of her!*

Exactly- a bit like she should stay in her place and not dream, or achieve anymore than what certain posters seem to think should be her limit. Every year they hope her and Harry will sink and every year they appear to be going strong.

Neil Basu talks of threats against Meghan (and 'the Royals') and that people had been prosecuted - would the public not normally have heard about court appearances like that? How could they have been hushed up, and by whom? Why hasn't Harry said anything? Where is Basu going with this, because in my head there's now more questions than answers tbh

You just saved me typing that, AutumnCrow

Clearly it's right for those making threats to be prosecuted no matter who they were aimed at, though it might have been useful to have a little more detail about something that would after all be in the public domain
For example, does this refer to the neo nazis whose prosecutions are already known about, or to additional and possibly numerous offenders who aren't?

As so often it would be good to have some clarity before leaping to conclusions, especially when the remarks have come from someone who is himself not without controversy

If they would solve the security issue by "scaping" then why would the need the government to pay for their security abroad? A bit of a contradiction there

They're asking for police protection when they're in the UK, and have offered to pay for it if necessary. That would include access to information about threats which have just been described as real, credible and disgusting.

This.

They will blame Netflix . M has already distanced herself from the Director.

Their security was pulled !

They had security overseas before. They had it in Canada at the beginning.

If you know your child and baby grandchild has been threatened, you would be out of your mind with worry. You know very well know that if he was not your son/grandson, he would be all fine and dandy. You would ask first, do you guys have enough for Archie at least? I don't care about you, but is he ok? Have a talk, say , ok, I will support you for a few months/whatever (KC has millions upon millions), but as soon as you start earning, do expect us to pull it off. And why not let H pay then, if you say you won't pay?

And then all that hiding that Ravec was the ones who made this decision ( so the RF). It stinks to high heaven, and no one is fooled !

MM has not 'distanced herself' , she has acknowledged that the director has control and licence to present the story as they would like.

You can’t buy police protection in the U.K. . This has been endlessly discussed .
H offering to pay for it was a last minute gasp when things were starting to go against him .

She said it was not the way they would have told it . If that’s not distancing herself , what is .

She said it may not be.

Meaning that, as usual, the creators will decide how they interpret the story. She also said they trusted the director and that is why they chose them.

Isn't this because even though there has been prosecutions - some, even on MN are still denying this happened. Even on this thread somebody has stated they are under the same level of threat as any other member of the RF - which is incorrect unless there are other members of the RF who are not white then I can't see how it can be the same. Whether you like it or not It is a fact that Meghan and her children have an additional threat on top of being RF because they are not white and Harry because he is married to someone who is not White and has children with her.

In LA? Hardly. They could have applied that line of argument more successfully in the UK but they made the smart move of grabbing the money and finding freedom in the sun.

Deja vu here (Finding Freedom and how it was legally proven that they had distanced themselves to come up smelling differently).

And that's fine, because it should be based on need. Which is what is being discussed. Doesn't mean they couldn't offer.

As has been previously discussed , when H and M went to Canada they were still ( or supposed to be) working members of the RF .Once they stopped being working members their very expensive paid for security was removed .
The problem is that H and M wanted the perks without the responsibilities . They wanted to make mega bucks but wanted U.K. taxpayers to pay for a team of Met Police to fly back and forward to protect them ?
If they were so concerned about their safety , they should have stayed in the U.K.

KC funded H and M for months after they flounced off .

Isn't this because even though there has been prosecutions - some, even on MN are still denying this happened. Even on this thread somebody has stated they are under the same level of threat as any other member of the RF - which is incorrect unless there are other members of the RF who are not white then I can't see how it can be the same. Whether you like it or not It is a fact that Meghan and her children have an additional threat on top of being RF because they are not white and Harry because he is married to someone who is not White and has children with her.

Exactly right. Of course they do - they have the level of risk of any other member of the RF and the risk posed by racist extremists. Obviously they're not that close to the throne in terms of succession but they're still the King's son and daughter-in-law (and grandchildren) and they've had a high profile from the word go - there won't be any fading into obscurity for quite some years, if at all.

How do those obsessive demands for hugely expensive security tie in with the wish to be down with the common people? And the SUVs trailing their vehicles like a cortege even when out cycling? The private jets flights for celebrity hobnobbing? Or do a couple of group video chats and patronising handouts to homeless with PR in tow redeem them in any way? It is the kind of self-promoting philanthropy that no decent person should never fail to call out. H once knew that..

Yes and then pulled the funding for their security and leaked their location. What a loving family the RF is!

In LA? Hardly. They could have applied that line of argument more successfully in the UK but they made the smart move of grabbing the money and finding freedom in the sun.

I agree they made a smart move and given the option and a lot of self assurance many would have probably done the same in their situation - that seems to be too painful for some.

How do those obsessive demands for hugely expensive security tie in with the wish to be down with the common people?
Maybe they want to be...safe?
And where have they said they want to be 'down with the common people' anyway? Give over with your sour grapes.

I think it's pretty clear that Harry is no alpha male and that MM is the one who determines the direction for this couple.

The question is, is she the poster child for anti racism as KK suggests or the poster child for narcissism as suggested by popular YouTube channels?

Is she the bullied or the bully? Is she both?

I can't imagine that Netflix can play this both ways. I think the show will be very sympathetic to M&H and will attack the RF.
