It's landed - 3 episodes with what I assume is 3 next week.

I am wondering if they are going to have as much stuff on her childhood as his - I imagine not so much footage etc

He had said previously that he wanted to go and live in Africa and do conservation work. Harry and Meghan went to Botswana on holiday just after they met.

clyspa · 08/12/2022 12:16

I think they have to double down

I actually don't think they aren't in love but agree they can never be allowed not to be if that makes sense

After all this they simply have to make it work

Why no mention of the Lottery win in episode 2? I wanted to see how her life changed on either side of it but we aren't going to get the honest version, just the arty one.

clyspa · 08/12/2022 12:17

Oh Woking said he has a second family out there / friends who brought him up

Because nobody cares about her family and childhood.

Harry's family is where the money is.

I haven’t read all the comments on here yet so if already covered I apologise!

I have 20 minutes to go until the end of episode 3.

I can’t help thinking that the way the press and palace communications and join up are being explained that the Vol II (episode 4 and beyond) is being set up.

I could be wrong but it really wouldn’t surprise me if the affair rumours and/or sexual abuse/friends with Epstein will be covered.

Surprisingly though what I have seen so far has made me feel sad for them, which I wasn’t expecting.

clyspa · 08/12/2022 12:18

God typos!

Oh wow

And by brought him up = raised him to adulthood not meaning cheered him up or just supported him

I am actually gob smacked at the hypocrisy. How is it ok to sell your soul for a multi million dollar pay check yet when Megan’s father poses for some photos he is cancelled from her life like he’s committed murder.

ILookAtTheFloor · 08/12/2022 12:20

I won't watch but like others want the goss and am following along on the live blogs.

Few things irk me more than Americans talking about Brexit. They really have no fucking clue. It's a bloody contentious issue and very nuanced. This is very much for a US audience

clyspa · 08/12/2022 12:21

I just realised I prefer him talking and his stuff as he's just said about Africa he had to share it with Meg and my heart sank - oh back to MM

I don't even think that badly of her but I caught my change in attitude so I do have mixed feelings about her to be really honest

I'm laid up on the couch doped up on codeine with painful joints today and tried watching it twice. I think I got maybe 20mins in. They seem like a lovely couple but I'm not really interested in hearing about people's great love stories. I'm sure it's fascinating to them but I could do with a shortened version. I just don't think it's for me.

clyspa · 08/12/2022 12:22

She says a cast mate told her during her hiatus plans to make sure she left room for magic

I have no words

I I think it highlights how scummy the British press are. They are the same with non Royals. I read book written by milly Dowler's sister and the treatment from the press was appalling. The British public love the gossip and don't care how affects individuals involved.

Personally I think the Royal children should be kept put of the public eye until they're 18 and can give consent. Do we need to see a photo of Charlotte etc?

bakalava · 08/12/2022 12:24

I don't see any connection between her early childhood before the lottery win paid for a nicer house and a private school and the person she is portraying herself as here. It is a very selective edit and I do not accept that she gave all control over to Garbus.

clyspa · 08/12/2022 12:26

They had the same week off while he was in Botswana so he invited her over

This is Aug 2016

He's astonished she agreed given they have at this point they have only met twice

What a ridiculous comment. Of course Americans can talk about Brexit. That's like saying we can't discuss apartheid in South Africa or how Australia treats its indigenous people just because we're British.

TinyChancer · 08/12/2022 12:28

Netflix wasted how many millions on a show that tells us very very little more than we already knew.

clyspa · 08/12/2022 12:28

She wonders what if they don't get on etc and are stuck in this tent together - she's filmed flying out so hope I get to see the tent

I actually don't think it's such a big deal but then I've done something similar before so maybe that's it.....

It's a big tent 😊

the blonde US friend of hers is getting on my tits

'It was a leap but somehow she knew she just had to do that with him'

Also, just wanted to pick up on something from earlier in the thread - OP you said they were recording themselves as far back as early 2020? So they much have known they were going to do an exposé of sorts as far back as that.

They we’re doing little video diary things yeah. They say that a friend recommended that they record what is happening to them.

A friend, hmmm. I'm guessing that 'friend' was a PR person or something, or it was actually just their idea.

So I guess they were always going to do a 'tell all' reality thing.

I have watched all three episodes. I don't read newspapers in the week so hadn't seen the vulgar statements prior to their marriage. Filthy language, classiest comments, all written by white people. I would have run a bloody mile. I think people who say anyone should have put up and shut up is nuts. I will never read The Daily Fail again. There is nothing so far in this documentary to concern the RF. No one is named except Princess Michael of Kent. She wore a Blackamoore broach to a party, I'd be offended too.
Wether H & M are doing this for the dosh or because they are fed up with story after story about them, they have a right to say I think certain people are racist. I am white, my husband black. We have dc who are now grown up. Their experience is variable. Old money usually fine, new dosh or certin countries horrid.
I wouldn't want to join the firm for all the hats, jewellery or entertaining.
The duchess won't go quietly, the footage shows she has been 'out there' since age 11. The USA has had an actor president and a fair few borderline nutters. Is she a worse option? Ah, she's bi racial and a woman. I know who I would prefer however they need some deep pockets for that! I shall watch the rest and you only really see a glimpse of Archie.

clyspa · 08/12/2022 12:32

They meet, he gives her a chicken sandwich, they get in a Land Cruiser, they hold hands (and take a photo of their hands) and kiss

Haven't gotten to the tent yet

I'm not even paraphrasing
