Who is behind the camera taking pictures of Meghan crying?

I have a theory that Meghan is a decent sort, with impeccable manners, and has to deal with a petulant husband.

When she was speaking to crowds before the funeral she was thanking people for coming and saying that it means so much to the family- I thought that was a great thing to say, making people feel that their being there was a help.

I think she should be persuaded to come back and take a role, but leave her husband at home.

I think he's bought into Meghan's narrative about how his family is horrible and he's a victim, and he can't currently see past it.

It’s almost like an abusive relationship

  1. Pretend to be nice - check
  2. commence emotional manipulation- check
  3. abuser plays the victim - check
  4. victim changes - check
  5. victim defends abuser when questioned - check
  6. Create tension with family and friends - check
  7. remove victim away from support network - check
  8. brainwash victim into thinking they only need the abuser (and their group of friends)-check
  9. victim sees family/friends as the enemy - check
  10. create narrative to rewrite history - check
  11. spot all the people the abuser has done this to previously - check

What are the high stakes though?
I don't see that.

Wow that's a real outlier - given the latest Lady in Waiting 'debacle' and Kate's obvious contempt for her I can't see that playing out. The real twist is that Kate packs it all in and William and Harry become bros again with a part time woke Windsor reboot. 😀

Maybe he meant the price of steaks? We're in a recession after all, and money is tight for them these days. Maybe they're literally high up and he can't reach them off the shelves, because he's down on the floor, grasping for a crumb of attention?

Completely agree. I do think it has many signs of narcissistic abuse.

M&H have to finance their lives for another 40 years.
Where are they going to get the money?
There can’t be much left to tout.
I feel so sorry for their dc, they have a whole family they’re missing out on.
If you look at clips of Harry as a dc he’s with all of his cousins every summer and Christmas.

The way Kate’s picture is in between two pictures of Meghan crying and the comments about “when the stakes are this high doesn’t it make sense to hear our story from us” tells me everything I need to know.

everything will be how they hated the royal family, they got bullied they think their opinion matters more than anyone else’s they are going to keep milking this forevermore. It’s like the mate down the pub who has one drunk story he rolls out every time he’s had more than a pint. People listen politely at first, don everyone just switches off.

like a PP said, what are they hoping to achieve? The royal family will carry on long after they’re dead.,

I doubt she edited the video herself.

I doubt she edited the video herself. Netflix would have done it precisely to get people like us fired up and talking about it. This whole thread is free advertising.

I like your scenario too, but I still hold out hope for mine- I am a bit of an eternal optimist

Whiskyvodka · 02/12/2022 07:03

@Ivyonafence

I agree, however she’s not stupid.
Once you’ve been paid then the producers want their investment back and a lot more.
M&H are just fodder to Netflix like any other celebrity.

I can’t think of one royal interview that has ever had a positive effect for the person giving it.

Meltinthemiddle · 02/12/2022 07:07

Absolutely disugted with them making money out of this. They have had their day, they have their privacy and life in America now they need to fuck off and get on with it.

Thighlengthboots · 02/12/2022 07:10

HG Tudor (expert on narcism) does very interesting commentary on Meghan's behaviour on you tube, she's a narcissist. Thats why there is a dichotomy between the whole "leave us alone" protest and then the making money out of the royal family by exposing them constantly. Everything they've done so far has been from milking the royal family secrets. Everything. They havent done a single independent project that was not about denigrating the royal family and was actually about something positive and uplifting and inspiring. I imagine this pattern will continue and continue until it no longer makes them cash. Then, once the money and fame is waning, he'll be disposed of.

LadyHester · 02/12/2022 07:11

I’d hoped after the obvious efforts they all made to behave in a civilised way at the time of the Queen’s death that there might perhaps be a way back , but I can’t see any possibility of reconciliation after this. I don’t believe Harry and Meghan will be happy unless they can genuinely move on, which is practice is going to mean ceasing to insist on a lifestyle that can only be funded by telling the same old story in increasingly melodramatic ways.

themessygarden · 02/12/2022 07:14

I suspect they (she) had full control over the series, including the promo and the timing of it. Their situation is unique and I don't think it can be compared to any other series out there, no matter how high profile.

The initial director / producer they worked with was removed as, allegedly, M&H didn't agree with the direction it was going, looks like they may have hired someone who is happy to go along with how they prefer to portray themselves.

Lets see if there will be any mention of their charitable foundation, the location of it's set up, and how much they have actually contributed to charities from that fund.

I would definitely watch it if I thought it was going to be balanced . the good and the bad, however looking at the trailer it appears that is not the case.

liarliarshortsonfire · 02/12/2022 07:18

I try not to read about M&H and have an open mind about how the press try to make the public perceive them, and how they obviously favour Kate. I hate the fact that Meghan and Kate are pitched against each other.

But I must admit to being quite shocked at the photo of Kate amongst the trailers. I know Netflix are using it to get a reaction out of people and drum up viewings, but why have M&H let this happen? Would they not have had the final say on the trailer? Or do they not realise that by showing this, they themselves are bullying other people. I'm all for their side of the story, but don't do it by bullying other people in the process

The RF won't push back, there will be no RF Netflix documentary, M&H will eventually become the bad guys because they are constantly bad mouthing people who aren't retaliating regardless of what happens

Why do you think? what do they have to gain by doing this?

They had FULL control over that documentary, dont doubt that for a second.

cyclamenqueen · 02/12/2022 07:25

Any last vestige of sympathy I had has gone after they dropped this on the very day W&K arrived in the US . Honestly why would you do that to your own brother, they could have chosen any day but no they choose a that day so obviously to sabotage the Boston trip. It’s looks petty and vindictive, childish and actually just plain nasty.

She would have had sign off. They already fired one director who didn't 'share their vision'.

Because he is childish and nasty, he always has been. His behaviour and attitude towards his family has always been questionable, I actually find it a lot more intolerable than Meghan- however it's swung they are his family, and I don't buy that he's been ground down and abused by her to the point he just goes along with it. He has always been jealous of his brother and he has always has a stick up his ass about his upbringing, even though its afforded him wealth and opportunities others could only dream of. He is so arrogant he doesn't see it though, with his grades etc no way would he have been in the corps and role he was in the army even without his royal connection. She may have been the poke he needed to go full throttle towards them, but he is responsible for his own behaviour.
