Who is behind the camera taking pictures of Meghan crying?

I always thought similar but recent events have made me wonder how many digs she got for being mixed race, american and not of the hangers on class.

I have no doubt she was treated unpleasantly by many of H's friends and by royal staff. Whether that included members of the family (apart from various remote cousins) none of us know.

I don't blame her in the least for wanting to leave, and personally I wouldn't have gone anywhere near it in the first place.

What I do find bizarre - and now amusing - is that they haven't walked away and done their own thing. They seem to have a mismatch between how they see themselves/want to be seen, and how they come across. A bit like the David Brent character in The Office.

If they've got such high profile 'celeb backers' why have they not scored any major deals which don't involve trading on their fading royal connections?

That video is at least 3 years old. Her 'celeb friends' cared about her royal status, not because they loved the chick who played the paralegal in 'Suits'. With that all in the past, these 'friends' won't be interested.

As for Elton, I very much doubt they are besties. He would never risk offending the royal family to pursue a 'friendship' with two people who offer him nothing.

He's a huge "England's Rose" Diana fan and hosted H&M at one of his properties for a private holiday recently and they appeared at his farewell concert. He's picked a side ...

We can judge once we’ve seen the Netflix documentary? Exactly what are you planning to judge from this?! Remember that you will only be getting their interpretation of events, which have shown themselves to be slightly fluid to say the least.

'We can't judge until we've seen the full Netflix series.'

Oh we can. We can predict what a woe fest it will be. The pair of them are tone deaf. Sobbing on a Hermes blanket I mean as a pp said who tf takes snaps of people upset if not to store the footage for future reveals. The whole thing has been staged since the start.

Ohnonevermind · 02/12/2022 12:00

@DaphneduM

she had really bad sickness throughout her pregnancy, even being hospitalised, so getting though a TV interview without barfing was probably an achievement in itself. She doesn’t moan constantly about it (unlike some) so you might not have known.

I don’t recall anyone asking if she was okay, but she seemed to just get on with it.

a lip reader caught Mike Tindall referring to H as a bellend and this pretty much sums it up for me. All the Hallmark photos of their picture perfect romance remind me of those facebookers who do the regular love love love posts of their partners who we know they don't have much time for in the real world

He is a right one to talk. I'm sure he was the one recently hawking himself to reality TV, and getting a reputation as a bully into the bargain.

And all people can take out of this sordid tale is to question who took the photographs. All this despite the ugly stain of racism still swirling around the Windsors like a miasma and the appalling behaviour of William's godmother just two days ago.

The Windsors have never, not once, tried to deny who they were (other than William's recent disingenuous protestation that 'we are not a racist family'). It's impossible to deny something so consistently, unassailably evidenced through footage, stills and audio recordings, and it runs through the core of that institution like the word 'Brighton' through rock.

The Windsors haven't needed to moderate their behaviour, because people see it. You cannot deny seeing it. But they seem willing to make all and any of the most absurd excuses - do anything as opposed to admit their false idols might not be as perfect as the PR image they choose to disseminate. Cf. the new protestations that Ngozi Fulani 'deliberately' set Susan Hussey up by answering evasively. As if she could make the woman rudely shove her hair aside and interrogate her about her background, or was obligated immediately to capitulate to her micro-aggressions by making herself subordinate to her intrusive racial profiling.

A person of lesser dignity would have told her exactly where to go and what to do with herself when she got there. As it was, Ngozi merely showed her up for who and what she was. And the Windsor supporters didn't like it.

I'm not claiming Harry and Meghan's self-pity covers them in glory. It doesn't. Nobody likes a whinger. But in this context in particular, it seems highly unlikely that every word they're saying about the racism she experienced is a lie. The factor few people seem to consider, on SM in particular, is that they might, just might, have a legitimate complaint.

We can judge the trailer on the content of the trailer - and it is very funny 😁

Sigma33 · 02/12/2022 12:07

And all people can take out of this sordid tale is to question who took the photographs.

We can't judge until we've seen the whole series...

BUT

all we can do is question the photos...

Well, for those who don't want to pre-judge the content of the series, the content of the trailer is all we have at the moment.

The photos have been put out by H&M, so they are inviting public comment.

Diana had two sons.

Do you really think Elton would say no if William dropped him a line saying he and the family would love to visit him in his LA mansion? And I don't think the Harkles 'appeared' at his farewell concert either.

Anyway, my point remains. Celebrity 'friendships' are transactional. There's not a whole lot the Harkles can offer to A listers now that their royal connections are gone. They've had 3 years to build a brand which doesn't involve whining about being royal, and have not managed to do so. The celebrity world moves very fast, and I think their moment has passed.

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

He got the teacher to cheat. Enough with excuses for this muppet. He was an adult - he took his A-levels at 19 years of age. How did he think his submission wrote itself if he didn't? He knew what was going on. At which point should he take responsibility for his actions?

I don’t think if they earn a ton of cash they will disappear. M thinks everyone needs to hear her opinions on everything.

Do you think they thought they were going to align themselves with the Obamas. I imagine all their constant negative talk isn’t their kind of thing.

Great post.

Balanced and informative. Agree with lots

How is it balanced?

I remember Kate being silent and listening to everyone abd when she was addressed, she spoke inclusivelyusing 'we', praising both William and Harry or what they'd achieved. When Mrghan spoke she used 'I' all the way through. She made it all about her. They are different approaches,and to do it the personalities,and lived experience but I don't see how or why you'd criticise either for their performances that day.

Was her goal to be Princess of Wales? Surely if she only married for status, being Queen is her goal. Personally, I think that both her and Meghan married for love and seem happy in their marriages. They have both got lovely families and live full and meaningful lives. The only difference is that one doesn't stop slating other people. Which makes me think they are the less happy one.

Meghan gets nominated for Democratic candidate for US President and wins (spoiler alert toxic grab em by the pussy clownboy Trump actually did this) and King William and Queen Kate have to host a state visit at Buck House for them. Revenge is a dish best served cold...

Well you have to be a liar to do well in politics so she will probably be perfect for it.

Elton's too canny to pick a side. He falls out with enough people at the drop of a hat. Even with Diana, they were friends one day, not speaking the next.

They are such a hateful, bitter pairing.

WatchoRulo · 02/12/2022 12:38

Does anyone else think MM and lots of her US fans thought she'd be doing the Lily Collins role from Emily In Paris - in other words, shaking up the Royal Family and showing them how to do things in a proper US manner?
It's not a surprise to me as someone who grew up here that the Royals are part of a hidebound British Establishment that is highly resistant to change and that contains racists so out of touch they don't even know they are racists.
If MM expected to dazzle all of these people she (and a lot of people who follow her) seem to have misunderstood.
I don't say this as a slight against her - I'd run for the hills rather than marry a Royal (fat chance ha) but it doesn't seem as if she has been very well informed or advised on the whole.

I find his remarks in 2012, reported in the Mirror hard to forgive or forget

"When photographer Lucy George snapped him on Liz Hurley's doorstep he repeatedly called her a c*, and then bellowed: "I hope you die of cancer of the clitoris.""

MrsGusset · 02/12/2022 12:42

I think Netflix have stitched them up in exactly the same way as Allison P. Davis' interview in 'The Cut' and they're too self absorbed to see it.

I had a similar thought @HaveYouSeenNancy

The trailer is excruciatingly bad but also very funny. It did leave me wondering whether Netflix are actually taking the piss given that self-awareness is neither Harry nor Meghan's strong point.

Blossomtoes · 02/12/2022 12:44

Thing is @MarieIVanArkleStinks that the Fulani debacle has spectacularly backfired. An event that was held to highlight domestic violence and support its victims - a cause in which Fulani has a vested interest - has been completely overshadowed.

I actually did not realise that was a Hermes blanket she was crying in front of. I thought it was a personalised monogram. (Random comment alert).

I thought it looked like the Hogwarts H, and that it was Harry Potter merchandise.

FloresApparuerunt · 02/12/2022 12:45

The Harry/guitar shots give me strong 'guy at a party who can only play Wonderwall' vibes.

Also, I wish I looked as good as Kate does in a 'bad' photo, rather than like a troll/thumb with shit hair.
