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

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.

Totally agree

Its the hubris of new parents isn't it to think that you'll be perfect and won't make any of the mistakes your parents made

So I guess whoever said this is for an American audience is spot on. They (the editors I mean) are painting the UK as the enemy.
Certain parts of the US left wing media love to kick the UK, I'm thinking the NY Times. I really think they should look in their back yard first before throwing allegations at the UK regarding racism.

I also agree with whoever said it was probably re-edited after the Queen's death to disperse some of the blame away from her.

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.

I don’t see it as throwing stones. It’s just an obsession with race. They have critical race theory in schools there so it’s bred into them from youth. As I said they are brought up to see everything through the lens of race.

If you removed racism from America, there wouldn’t be an America. It’s in every document. Race has been front and centre there since its inception (and prior to that). In elections there is mention of “the black vote”, with any elected official who isn’t white they are “the first black (or Asian, Hispanic etc.) mayor of XX”. Because they are so entrenched in race anything to do with race is a major story (to the rest of us it barely registers, hence Harry being “taught” about racism from her).

Excellent post. I agree wholeheartedly. MM had been campaigning for causes that mattered to her long before PH came on the scene. I think the relationship gave him purpose from day one, it gave her racist headlines.

I'd have run a mile too!

clyspa · 08/12/2022 12:37

From the elephants but I think she means the RF, press and us

just like every Disney prince (yawn) and she will always bat her eyelids and look up at him in loving appreciation

clyspa · 08/12/2022 12:39

It looks idyllic and a fun trip

She says no distractions, mirrors etc but again she doesn't look like me when camping!

My thought is quite often who took the photos, yes there are selfies but a lot taken by someone else.

Maireas · 08/12/2022 12:42

They've obviously had a photographer with them a lot of the time.

Colcat · 08/12/2022 12:43

I'm in my mid 50s so remember Diana well and remember the summer she died. She was actively courting the press and paparazzi, posing on yachts and saying things like 'wait until you see what I'm going to do next'. She was not universally popular in the weeks before she died. Not at all. And then she died and was made into a saint. It was absolutely tragic but Harry is not the only child to lose a mother at a young age. He has created an image of her in his head, which is understandable, but she was not perfect by any means. And sadly I believe Meghan has exploited his vulnerability.

It's crass to use his mother's memory in this way in their show. I feel for William and the Spencer family.

Presumably he at least has always travelled with close protection officers? So never really just the two of them.

clyspa · 08/12/2022 12:44

MM tells her she has met someone and is in love - it's Prince Harry

MM is vibrating and they take a pic to commemorate the moment

Abigail knows they will go to the ends of the earth to be together

OP posts:
Maireas · 08/12/2022 12:45

Meghan was vibrating?

IcedPurple · 08/12/2022 12:46

MM is vibrating

Say what?

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 08/12/2022 12:46

Then they both fart

Dammit! For a moment I thought it showed a sense of humour!

So far from what I've read here the take home message is that they are bound together forever and daren't ever divorce unless they want to be a laughing stock.

clyspa · 08/12/2022 12:46

Now it's about logistics - how is this going to work

Done numpty is saying 'can he fly, is he allowed?'

Now she saying they inventing a way for it to work

Does she mean they invented long distance relationships?

They wouldn't take the pictures, though, would they?

Yes MM vibrating

It's what happens when you are in love

Or maybe it was the champagne Grin

OP posts:
FancyFran · 08/12/2022 12:48

Champagne? She needed to drink it then because she can never go to a bar or restaurant and order it again. Too extravagant. Ditto her clothes. Only UK. Princess Diana ordered a lady Dior bag when she got divorced, good for her.
It is indeed a gilded cage.
I hope they do spend time in the UK. Fundamentally we are the most tolerant nation in the world (my family ticks nearly every box, so I speak from experience). But the press are shameful.

I’ve just read that they dressed in penguin onesies at their engagement party because 'penguins mate for life’ 🤢

😂did they really say that, or is that just rumour?

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

Another question you're unlikely to see answered on here ...

If you cancel everyone from your life then you don’t have to face anyone telling you that ‘your truth’ is recollected in the varying stylee.

And those cancelled can’t point out the hypocrisy by saying ‘how is it ok for you and no for me?’.
