Who is behind the camera taking pictures of Meghan crying?

For those talking about Harry's childhood and trauma, don't forget William went through exactly the same trauma at barely 2 years older

Harry was 12 when his mother died and William was 15. Anyone who has children knows there is an enormous difference in development at those ages.
And two people can go through the same trauma and respond differently, because they are different people. But in this case, Harry’s age will have been a huge factor.

There are always two sides to every story, and most families experience fall outs from time to time, but obviously, not in the public eye. H&M clearly feel aggrieved at their treatment by RF, who knows who’s right or wrong, but I think this documentary won’t cause anything but hurt sadly.

My favourite part is where Meghan asked her magic mirror who the fairest of them all was and it showed a picture of Kate; classic.

Same here! 🤣🤣🤣

I find this bizarre "CWL" at someones face at a solemn church service.

"Be Kind" anyone? You would be calling her out if she had been grinning at a solemn event.

FGS in the picture Meghan looks exactly the same... Thoughtful at a poignant part of the service.

I doubt he got the teacher to cheat. My guess is the teacher was leaned on by the Head or PC .

Still needed to cheat though whatever way you look at it. If he wasn’t a prince he’d be stacking shelves (and that’s not to be insulting to shelf fillers as I’ve been one).

I honestly think the two of them are the worst advocates for therapy I've ever seen!

I've always thought this was entirely Harry's fault. I've said on here a few times, that his ex girlfriends all ran because they knew they couldn't handle the pressure and expectations. Rather than letting Meghan know what she was getting herself in for (like William did with Kate), he rushed things. For M, to be a prominent activist like figure, to suddenly move to a different country and be told that for the rest of her life she literally cannot express an opinion, I don't blame her at all for struggling to cope. Any of us would.

I agree she got a bad time from the media. But I also think most of it was social media driven - and unlike W&K who I suspect rarely log in themselves, and therefore, they literally don't see the nasty comments (which is a much better way to be IMO), I've always thought that H&M logged in themselves. Thereby, they were seeing everything constantly which made it much worse.

However. I also think they picked battles for no reason whatsoever, which worsened the relationship with the media.

For example - declaring that she was in labour hours after Archie had been born, and was already home. Refusing to confirm the godparents names. Even stating that they were only going to work with 'up and coming' journalists - mainly because they wanted to control the narrative and bully inexperienced people into writing about them how they wanted to be written about.

I completely understand why they wanted to get away, but I don't understand why they did it as they did. Their petulant 'service is universal' statement and announcing the details on social media the day after BP had been told, before any agreement had been made about the details of it all.

What I don't understand is what is their end game.

What do they actually want?

Because they wanted out. They got it. They wanted to be financially independent. They got it. They are rich, healthy and apparently happy. Why not spend a lifetime enjoying themselves and living the life that they want? Why do they have to constantly rehash the past. Because after the series and Harry's book, they literally have nothing left.

Charles I suspect will continually invite them to events and family gatherings because he's a nice man. William however? I think when he becomes King, they'll be completely banished, in the same way as the Duke of Windsor. I don't think he'll ever be prepared to involve them in family matters, because everything will always be taken the wrong way.

a prominent activist like figure

oh behave 🙄

foggydaysun · 02/12/2022 10:26

MM has brought the ‘stress and pain’ on herself. Harry didn’t seem to have a problem before they met

This is simply not true. Harry’s difficulties with and resistance to his role and position, his intense dislike of the press, were all well reported long, long before MM appeared on the scene. He was more like a pressure cooker waiting to explode.

thebellagio · 02/12/2022 10:27

@VollywoodHampires note I said activist-like, not full activist!

I admit, it was a generous description of her!

EdieLedwell · 01/12/2022 14:59

H&M did t produce the trailer though did they? The insertion of Kates pic isn't down to them.

But they must have seen the trailer before it got released and they didnt ask to remove it? Let's not bend over backwards to defend them.
In her interview with Oprah, Megan said Kate sent her flowers and apologised, when she saw Megan in tears. Megan should decide what she wants to communicate, if she has problems with Kate for whatever crime she committed in her eyes then she should be open and not two faced.

The RF doesn't know what be kind is. The late Queen is believed to have been behind the plot to get her mother's devoted and lifelong servant Backstairs Billy from his digs whilst her body was still warm. James OB telling the truth just now on LBC and not surprisingly on the side of H&M. Prince Andrew. endof.

I've always thought that he was known to be hot headed, but people were usually able to talk him down. But once he married Meghan, he had someone who not only agreed with anything but also encouraged him to act on those feelings, whether they were valid or not. So there's now two of them feeling that it's them against the world, and refusing to listen to anyone else.

What ever happened to Harry's friends? It seems as if he didn't just break away from his family, but also ditched all his mates who could have also calmed him down

Although Harry inherited 21miilion from his mum, that is not enough to live the life they want to. Security alone is a million a year.
The Netflix deal is worth 100million I think? Plus the 45million from Harry’s book, so hopefully they have enough now, they can stop having to talk about their past.

I would say a million a year is nowhere near what it costs, Caitlyn Jenner a few years ago said Kylie spends $400k a month on security www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/culture/a30052514/kylie-jenner-security-cost-caitlyn-jenner-im-a-celebrity/ I would expect thats the equivalent level that Harry and Meghan would be spending and even at that they're not getting the level of protection that Harry would have grown up with. Their lifestyle costs must be massive, keeping up with the Jones' in America is widly expensive, I would be incredibly stressed trying to make money to keep up a lifestyle if I was them.

Haha. That's an oxymoron.

The photo of Kate isn’t flattering, it makes her look hard faced and unapproachable, they’ve put it in on purpose. So it’s a clear sign they’ve a problem with her, and are trying to rile William. It does look like the issue between the 4 of them is significant. They have put that photo in to draw attention to it. They want Kate to be seen that way, hard and unbending, it is absolutely no mistake it’s in there and will have been carefully selected

that pictures inclusion speaks a thousand words.

and the sound of shattering glass as picture is displayed !

FaithsSong · 02/12/2022 10:33

I suspect at some point Kate saw right through MM “charisma” and took a step back.

People with a carefully curated public persona hate to be revealed or ignored and distanced/sidelined - and it often triggers a targeted campaign against the person who lifted the curtain.

I have no strong feelings about this whole debacle (I quite like both Meghan and Kate actually), but this whole woe is me I only have my millions from my mother act from Harry wears thin.

If they'd moved to a smaller house instead of a mansion and lived the private life he said they wanted, presumably they'd both have less need for security and would have more money for it!!

They can live exactly where they want. They're paying for it

Do you judge others on the size of their House?

Mrsrasputian · 02/12/2022 10:34

@Bakeacaketoday Why on earth would I have respect for a racist anachronism like the Monarchy. Anything that hastens it’s demise is good with me!

angela99999 · 02/12/2022 10:34

Annie232 · 01/12/2022 13:44

Seems a bit staged in my opinion

Yes, I agree, I have no sympathy for them, in fact I positively despise the way they behave. Personally I think that they are looking for any way to get publicity and make money. I feel for William and his wife who are behaving with dignity and are unlikely to respond.

Usernamesarboring · 02/12/2022 10:35

Mrsrasputian · 02/12/2022 09:34

I reckon the picture of Kate looking like she’s chewing a wasp is probably her real persona, not the carefully cultivated smiling waving robot she presents.
Looking forward to seeing it. Hilarious how triggered all the royalists are in here😀

I don't understand this. Why Megan supporters have so much problem with Kate. Is it because they think she was the most powerful person in family and not allowed Megan from seeking help? This level of hate from Megan supporter to Kate is really strange, she is not the onwer of daily mail or was the head of royal family making protocols for Megan to follow.

Nosleepforthismum · 02/12/2022 10:36

It’s the flowery OTT language she seems to favour that doesn’t make me warm to her. I know she’s American but I don’t know a single person in the UK that would refer to their relationship as their “love story”. The piss would be taken (and rightly so 😅). Equally, the Instagram level “look how in love we are!” photos are just a bit much.

TheCraicDealer · 02/12/2022 10:37

The saddest thing is that three years after their departure from the RF their short experience as working members is still the thing that makes them the most marketable, that’s why they keep banging on about it. For all their efforts with various charity endeavours, podcasts, talking about climate change and feminism, this is the only topic the general public on both sides of the Atlantic have an ounce of interest in hearing them talk about. That’s the sad reality that they now have to face up to; despite trying very hard to build a profile and brand most people just don’t care about what they have to say, apart from salacious gossip. It could very well be that they’re both more resilient than they portray, but “yeah it was shit but we’ve moved on” doesn’t sell, does it. Where do they go from here? Spend the next twenty, thirty years doing the same thing? Just from the tone of various threads, comments under that Yourube video etc, this is starting to look like it’s massively going to backfire.

They could have moved somewhere more modest, and lived comfortably on his £21 million (plus interest) and I’m sure other investments/inheritances, her keep working as an actress and maintained a relatively low profile. Their security needs (and costs) would have likely significantly tapered over time as they moved away from peoples’ consciousness as royals. Despite what Harry may say they didn’t “need” to do any of this. It’s just greed.

stuntbubbles · 02/12/2022 10:37

Kate must be going Spare. Honestly between the memoir and the documentary and the damp squib of Wills and Kate’s “Super Bowl moment”, this is a GREAT era for delicious gossip.

The only issue is how do you top this?? Oprah was a brilliant bombshell which they’re now topping with Spare and the wasp-chewing high stakes trailer; what do they do next year and the year after? Whatever it is, I am HERE for it and I have 🍿

MarshaMelrose · 02/12/2022 10:37

The comments on Netflx YouTube channel about the trailer are so funny.
People in my town dance in the street when they saw this trailer. After we watched it, the rains came and ended our drought. 😁
And all the ones of her crying from her left eye. Come on right eye, catch up! 😂😂

I agree. He's an utterly bitter champagne socialist.

Sigma33 · 02/12/2022 10:38

I wonder whether part of H's resentment is because he grew up surrounded by friends from inherited wealth - so they had the polo ponies, the holidays, the privilege, but without the scrutiny of being in the RF. So that's who he compares himself with, he doesn't realise that his social circle is not the experience of 99.99% of the populaton.

And M had a mental picture of being 'royal' that was not based in reality - and when her mental picture clashed with reality she saw it as prejudice against her, rather than her expectations being unrealistic.
