I think what H&M have done make the interviews Diana and Charles did look tame

Seriously you think what H&M did is worse than D talking about 3 people in the marriage, etc? 😆

I know tampon gate wasn't meant to be in the press. I meant in terms of lurid headlines & press attention.

Yes I do, accusing the royal family of being racist, Meghan being driven close to suicide, bring refused mental health support and allegedly having her passport taken away is far worse than the 3 people in the marriage comment.

"When the stakes are this high doesn't it make sense to hear our story from us?"

Ha! @AcrossthePond55 is not fake!

Who's saying I am?

<pinches self, squeals in pain> Nope, real as can be!

Puzzledandpissedoff · 01/12/2022 17:02

He chose to be a non working royal that then means no funded security unless on royal business etc

He wouldn't even necessarily have to be on royal business - like any other prominent person it's assesssed on a case by case basis and if security's deemed necessary then they get it

Please can someone tell me how they found the trailer? 🙏

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 01/12/2022 17:04

Well, if that's the worst picture they could find of Kate then Kate must be doing a very good job.

lipstickwoman · 01/12/2022 17:04

Whatever their reasons for doing the documentary the timing of this preview is pretty awful.

H and M claim to be concerned about the environment and Earth shot is Williams thing.

So unnecessary. William must be so hurt.

HamBone · 01/12/2022 17:05

They are a beautiful couple who clearly have a great deal of love and fun within their family. They have a lovely home, good friends, independence and a bright future. Sooner or later I hope they are able to properly move on and live their lives in their futures and not be seemingly stuck in those 3 years.

Such a good way of putting it, it's all so painful at the moment, constantly rehashing the past, and I hope they can move on soon.

Goldpaw · 01/12/2022 17:06

If anyone knows anything about staging and scripting it's the royal family. Harry and Megan are just being more American about it.

I'd like them to be quieter.

I'd like Charles to be more open about the damage the rf has done to him and others because of its rules and protocols.

If we're going to have a monarchy I'd like the straightjackets to be untied and thrown away.

It disgusts me that people are forced into living in this way to satisfy misguided ideas of duty towards people who really only see them as upmarket celebs there to satisfy their wants.

Charles said to Harry that they have to put up with it because it's the way it's always been. That's no way for people to live!

The whole thing is toxic.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 01/12/2022 17:11

If there's no interest they will have no choice but to go away

I'm not sure it's as simple as that any more, yoyy, though I agree about the reasons the media carry the stories

Clearly the couple need a lot of money to fund their current lifestyle, and clearly again their main means of getting it is to trade their endless grievances for cash.
If the attention stops the money could quickly follow, and what happens then?

AcrossthePond55 · 01/12/2022 17:13

About that terrible pic of Kate. DH and I were on holiday having a wonderful time. He snapped a 'candid' pic of me (as in "Hey Honey, look it me!" <snap>) on the beach and I have a face like thunder. You'd have thought I absolutely hated him. What was supposed to be a 'winning smile' turned into 'squinched' eyes and terrible grimace due to looking directly into the sun. We still laugh about it when we look at that pic.

So who really knows what's behind Kate's face. Maybe she had gas or her shoes were too tight. Maybe she was fighting a sneeze. I think it's unfair to take a candid moment and turn it into a huge 'statement'. It's not like she flipped M the bird or mouthed 'bitch' at her.

ChillyFingers · 01/12/2022 17:14

It's so obvious what Markle's end game was. She never intended to be a working royal. She just wanted the celebrity and probably deludes herself that she's the 'Hallmark' Queen of the US. Dimwit Harry walked right into it and was an easy mark. I'm not a royalist at all but I understand the reason we have them.

I wish Will and Kate would do a BBC documentary talking about the breakdown of the family relationship with his brother no holds barred. I don't think it would do any harm, in fact, it would do the opposite, Other royals have done tv interviews. William didn't chose his life either and was just as affected by his mothers death and the royal machine, more so as the heir.

This horrendous couple (M&H) need to be countered very publicly in their bullshit.

I'd really prefer if they just went away. Tiresome.

If people don't want them about, don't watch stuff, create & interact on threads. If there's no interest they will have no choice but to go away. There's a reason it's headline news on the Daily Mail

Yes, of course, that's it, that's the solution. Let's tell the whole world to do that.

Seriously, people are only talking about/watching them because they keep pushing themselves in the media when they said they wanted a private life. This is the opposite of a private life. So in addition to tedious I will call them an opportunistic, disappointing and disingenuous pair.

the80sweregreat · 01/12/2022 17:18

A lot of this is all about money
Where they live amongst the celebs and A listers , they are relatively ' poor'
They need to just keep on milking the Royal connections and the big ' rifts' because it's all they have got

MrsFinkelstein · 01/12/2022 17:18

onlylarkin · 01/12/2022 16:55

You are correct

I don't think that is correct.
They wanted separate security specifically for their children, instead of their own security providing it.
But it is confusing as they have said different things on different occasions.

saffronrabbit · 01/12/2022 17:20

How long can they carry on cashing in a their very short time as a couple in the RF?

The shot of Catherine is a statement of who they are gunning for....just as Meghan honed in on her in the Oprah interview. They want to do maximum damage to Catherine's reputation. Jealous much Meghan?

35965a · 01/12/2022 17:20

The trailer makes them seem exactly what I thought they were like, a pair of self-obsessed drama llamas.

Crucible · 01/12/2022 17:21

@AcrossthePond55 someone quoted one of your posts with the American standpoint - fair and level, mentioning philanthropists etc, and another poster implied you're a fake.american,.it appears to have gone poof. I follow your calmly through the day threads. I would.like to live in your house. I'm pretty sure you're a deadset proper American. Hope I'm not mixing you up.

yellowlabel · 01/12/2022 17:23

With the news from Kensington Palace today plus the Boston tour, it's probably not a coincidence this was released today. It feels very much like a pile on and that's awful. Harry used to love his brother and sister in law. What a tragic turn of events.

HamBone · 01/12/2022 17:24

I agree, @the80sweregreat

you think they dictate to the Daily Mail? You can push yourself out there as much as possible but if people don't click on the stories it's irrelevant.

yoyy · 01/12/2022 17:26

Yes I do, accusing the royal family of being racist, Meghan being driven close to suicide, bring refused mental health support and allegedly having her passport taken away is far worse than the 3 people in the marriage comment.

Maybe there are racist though? Should it not be said if not true? Look at the recent debacle with Williams godmother! I think infidelity trumps talking about mental health personally.

MrsFinkelstein · 01/12/2022 15:29

I started off a massive fan of M&H, I already knew who she was as I had been watching Suits since it first aired.
I really thought they would be a great addition to the UK.
I understood why they left the BRF - it's not an easy life to marry into and the spotlight and pressure must be unbearable.
I remember they initially wanted a "half in/half out" model and said so in their press releases at the time.
I also saw how the narrative changed after that.
I have no doubt Meghan found it hard and the RF as an institution can be unbending and intimidating.
This incessant victimhood is unnecessary and pointless.
They have a lovely home, 2 beautiful healthy children, have a strong relationship and friends. They have a lot to be thankful for.
To relentlessly focus on a 2 year period of time that ended 3 years ago now is unhealthy and smacks of intentional victimhood.
The inclusion of Catherine's photo in that trailer, an unflattering image where she is the focus of attention, in the midst of selectively photoshopped and edited flattering images of Meghan is narcissistic and says everything about where Meghan's attention is focused on. Its hurtful and unfair.
Move the f*ck on. You've said your piece. We all heard you.

Well said.

yoyy · 01/12/2022 17:30

@Goldpaw I agree with you, however I think gilded cage that Harry talked about is true. I don't think the public want honestly & complaints, it's almost like the peasants tolerate the Royals which is an incredibly outdated system but only if the Royals "do their part". I'm not invested in any of the Royals so what Harry did has no impact on me but others feel he has rejected them personally. It's very odd 🤷🏻‍♀️

Kate can't help her face!

Looking at what Kate is wearing, I think the image might be from Queen Elizabeth's funeral, hence she is looking morose.
