Who is behind the camera taking pictures of Meghan crying?

I’m sure there’s a long-term game plan, though. First came Megxit, cemented by the Oprah interview. Now they’re setting themselves up financially and with the Freedom! tour of the memoir, podcast and documentary. They need to bed in that narrative, which obviously got muddied with the participation in the Queen’s death and funeral with the Fab Four walkabout. Guarantee they have advisors setting up the story for the next era, and the next. But they didn’t leave so very long ago and the dust really hasn’t settled – it makes media sense to continue this path for a little while, since it’s still the story. Once the new era of King Charles settles and embeds, I reckon then they’ll move on.

Move onto what though?

The celebrity world they are now in is fast moving and ruthless. They've had 3 years to carve out a brand independent of royal whining, and have failed. They're middle aged with no obvious marketable skills. A glance at the comments under the NF trailer makes it obvious they are seen as a joke, something which is only likely to increase after the 'documentary'. I don't see a 'long term plan'. I see a fixation in their own sense of victimhood and an utter inability to move on.

The people are all real but some of what they do has been set up purely for your entertainment.

Can anyone remember what the half in/half out that they wanted but weren't given was?

If it was all so awful why wouldn't they just want a clean break?

Or was the half in the perks & the half out more like all out &doing what they wanted?

Ohnonevermind · 02/12/2022 17:02

They’re turning into Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.

Ohnonevermind · 02/12/2022 17:04

I hope to see giant self portraits during filming at their house

i think when the divorce inevitably comes it will be - ‘the media drove us apart’

Basically they wanted to pick and choose what they did , have 24/7 protection, access to Royal jewels etc etc but make LOTS of money for themselves .

Wasn't part of it Harry kept his military roles.

I think the only titles that can be removed is HRH, they have already agreed to not use them, and Duke and Duchess. Prince is his from birth and only Harry can give that up, which will never happen. Meghan would then be known as Princess Harry.

Oh yes. It'll be everyone else's fault. God knows what Harry will do when his Netlfix usefulness is over, he can't keep selling his poor me tales can he? Do the Americans really fall for this crap?!

Dignity, class and kindness, everything they do not represent and where to start with selling their own privacy to the highest bidder.

Readinginthesun · 02/12/2022 17:13

I think the Dukedom can be removed but not sure about the rest although KC could tell them to stop using titles.

Well, that's their aspiration, ayway.

@Sigma33

I think the British hooves have racist undertones 🤣

The Household Cavalry have black horses.

The RHA horses are brown.

The Scots Greys (white and grey) were disbanded in 1971.

RACISM! Racist horses!

“The series includes interviews with family and friends who’ve never spoken publicly about the couple’s relationship before,”

From NF promo blurb … I wonder who stepped up?

diddl · 02/12/2022 17:15

Would removing their titles look petty?

I can't decide tbh.

Yes! That would be dead classy!

Other than Doria I cannot imagine any family members speaking again , at least not in a positive way !

Will that include the five that gave the anonymous interview revealing the infamous letter?

No filming at their house. That's why the first director left.

Harry will find himself up shit creek then.
He will be in California (known for being stable sensible and real) with only hangers on.
All family bridges well and truly burnt, up against a wife that knows all his problems and weakness. A proven lair that will say anything to get what she wants. She will use everything against him, make him out to be the most unfit parent going, he wont stand a chance.

Yes.

Its more powerful to let them continue with being seen to be disingenuous, hypocritical and self serving by slating the institution whilst monetising it’s branding.

It would be a right royal pain in the arse, as parliament would have to get involved. Then you'd have questions about why this or that duke didn't have titles revoked, and it would encourage people to think of royal titles not as something ''sacred' but rather fancy names which can be taken away fairly easily, which probably isn't a precedent the royals would like to set.

Not worth the bother. I really do think that once the 'documentary' and the 'memoirs' are out of the way, Harry and his wife will have done their worst and will start their decline into irrelevance.

Readinginthesun · 02/12/2022 17:19

The question is why would they insist on using titles given to them by that wicked , racist family ??
