Plus we have heard their side and they know we will never hear the other side.
Cut all contacts and leave properly if thats what they want.

Exactly! They’ve had their OW interview haven’t they? And it’s not just their story when it involves other people they full well know can’t reply.

Why is the photo of Kate in the middle of it? That seems mean & unnecessary - what about Kate's mental health?

The photos looks amazing though - staged or not, she's extremely beautiful and looks phenomenal in all those shots.

When you zoom out of the photo MM is sat behind her, they are manufacturing it to look like Kate is giving MM the evil glare.
And haven't we heard it all before on Oprah anyway?

The picture taken in Westminster Abbey shows people at, guess what, a church service (Commonwealth service in 2019). Maybe it was a serious part of the service, or Kate was thinking and contemplating something solemn, or was reacting to someone behaving badly opposite where she was sitting. I don't read it as a bad picture of her, but H&M may have thought it made her look bad.

I’ve worked for Netflix and produced programmes for them. You have no control over the trailer - you deliver the programme and Promos (a internal department totally removed from the production company) cut the trailer and of course they use the most dramatic footage (after all, look at the chat it’s created).

In the actual programme, that shot / still of Kate could extend or pan to someone else. It may be accompanied by voice over that’s sympathetic to her but of course the promo department are going to cut it for maximum impact.

Judge H&M on the programme, not the trailer.

No one is going to listen.

Meghan came out and said the documentary is not how they pictured it would be or how they wanted to tell it. So Netflix have got stuff that they probably didn't want to include and have included it anyway

I wasn't aware Meghan had said this - any chance of a link? - but surely it's obvious that if there's stuff you don't want someone to use then you don't give it them in the first place?

Netflix aren't a charitable organization. They will do whatever, use whoever, offend whoever, to increase viewership and make as much money as possible. They have to, they are accountable to their shareholders.

H&M may have felt like they were finding freedom by unshackling themselves from the RF. Instead,, they will have sold their souls to Netflix and Spotify. Meghan will have known this was the deal, having spent years at the most ugly, scrappy end of the entertainment business. Harry can at least plead being an ignorant fool. Neither of them will have had the final say on much of significance in this docu-series. They don't wield that kind of power.

It's in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. I don't see it.

That picture is not the Commonwealth service where they had the infamous behind the scenes upset, that shot is from the 2019 Commonwealth Service.

Is that when M&H were upset they weren't included in the processional with W&C, C&C and HMQ but had to go in before them? And when W&C tried to defuse the situation by forgoing in as planned and instead going in with H&M?
Or am I mixing it up with something else??

AcrossthePond55 · 01/12/2022 16:17

Most of my 'circle' here in the US think of H&M along the lines of how people seemed to have felt about the D of Windsor. A somewhat sad 'used to be' who still expected to be treated as if he was of the same 'royal' status as before he stepped away. H&M are basically now just B- to C level 'celebrities' with nothing 'special' about them. But that was their choice. I'm not saying they don't have a happy marriage, aren't 'good people' personally, or that they don't do good charitable work. Just that they're rather irrelevant to US popular culture and they need to stop trying so hard to be relevant.

Yet they insist they want 'privacy'. Ok then, do your good works, attend your charitable functions, run your charitable foundations. That's what 99% of the philanthropists here do, you don't see them splashing themselves all over the papers or making documentaries about their private lives.

W&K, on the other hand, have that royal 'something' about them. Maybe it's the clothes, the jewels, and the 'ceremony' surrounding being heir to the throne. But they also seem to be rather nice people. They don't really try that hard to 'impress' us. But then they don't have to. I think there isn't the 'negative' feeling about them here because they don't cost us anything so we don't think about whether or not they're 'worth the cost'. .

As far as the alleged racism specifically directed at M goes, it's all really hearsay, isn't it? There is their truth and the RF's truth, and as with all things the 'real truth' lies somewhere in between.

healthadvice123 · 01/12/2022 16:18

@pigonalipstick or shame on them , if you air your dirty linen in public expect not all reactions to be positive

yoyy · 01/12/2022 16:18

The trailer is breathtakingly nauseating.. MM is dillusional to think any of us really care anymore about the Sussex’s stakes?

people do care though hence why you're on the thread. The press will overshadow W&.K

Almost certainly staged, like everything else, fake plastic lives, self promotion, all to elevate themselves

At least be fair & acknowledge that is something all the Royals do.

The 2020 commonwealth service was the big upset where Meghan wore green as pictured here.

Not sure its doing a lot for public image for them either

Exactly. Tbh I thought Sophie and Kate were in the wrong to show their emotions so publicly. I can think of family situations where I’ve had to really control my true emotions in front of others. It’s better in the long run. However showing that suggests who in the RF will be their targets. Megan hates and is jealous of Kate. There must have been a falling out. They went from being hosted at Anmer hall one Christmas to being squished at Sandringham the next.

Yes, that's the one I was thinking about where they felt they were snubbed and pushed down to "2nd tier".

susan12345678 · 01/12/2022 14:41

that pictures inclusion speaks a thousand words

What it says to me is that Meghan is positively raging with jealousy

Yes indeed. It doesn’t reflect well on Meghan at all. The whole thing is just so tasteless and a vehicle for self promotion for money.

healthadvice123 · 01/12/2022 16:23

@YellowAndGreenToBeSeen but if it makes people not watch it then it does nothing for them
Plus they can make public statements if they wish to navigate away from the trailer and how it looks

Puzzledandpissedoff · 01/12/2022 16:24

Wise words, Suemademedo it - and yet, as you say, these are the people H&M have chosen to sell themselves to

My own view is that it's a shame, but it's also their decision to make and they'll be judged on it accordingly

Coincidental that W and K are promoting Earthshot? Think not. Anything to keep the spotlight on them as the special royals.

W +K ARE the "special royals" of their generation. They will be King and Queen , possibly not very far ahead. (Charles is ageing far faster than either of his parents did) . Williams children mean Harry will never be called upon as a replacement heir.

The best Harry could ever have aimed at, was to be a throneless royal sibling with their own interests, just like Charles sister Anne.

In return for hardworking public service as a non-flashy discreet back ground figure, Anne had ample opportunities to pursue her personal interests (Olympic horsewoman) and enjoys a very private domestic life. Anne's two spouses, commoners like Meghan, were and are total nonentities out of the public eye.

Harry knew all that before he ever met Meghan. He could have devoted his life to his interest in military charities. His wife could have been a private nonentity out of public sight, like Timothy Lawrence.

It appears Meghan has been hellbent on reincarnating Diana from the word go; a beautiful tragic victim reject- princess on a world stage. How desperately cruel she is, to make Harry relive his own history.

Harry had a face like thunder that day, maybe he should have tried a bit harder to hide his emotions as well. Meghan and Harry tell the world constantly how they feel at every opportunity, Kate and Sophie don’t have that luxury so I will give them a pass for not hiding their emotions for a brief time.

Crucible · 01/12/2022 16:28

Ha! @AcrossthePond55 is not fake!

yoyy · 01/12/2022 16:28

This is such sexist nonsense. M has no reason to be jealous of K & K has no reason to be jealous of M. it's ok to not like each other.

You can ignore all the leaks to the press.
