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

MM saying joining the family she knew there were protocols for how things were done

Cites the princess diaries - says there's no classes where she is taught what to do

Some silliness about that brown hat she wore to church at Christmas looking like the poo emoji

Oh no she's back on the learning the national anthem and...,, she googled it! Well done 👏

But again there's this sense of 'How ridiculous' how silly she was made or expected to do these things / like she's dying to roll her eyes

Then she's not super sweet MM - you see see she's got another dude to her

As do we all - I'm just saying there's a clear irritation

Yes, she's just so natural and tuned into emotions. She can even have people over for dinner barefoot and in ripped jeans!!!!

If only we could live up to her example... but at least we have her as a role model while we battle our repressed emotions

@Farmageddon
"My point though, was that W&K never have the chance to say stuff like that, they're not able to. Which she and Harry well know of course"

This is so untrue .

There is absolutely nothing stopping W or K from saying whatever they damn well want
'Protocol '? Please. Invented nonsense.

But surely that's exactly what H&M are trying to argue - that the institution doesn't allow people to tell all, or have their say. That's why they had to leave...so they can waffle on to their hearts desire.

Sigma33 · 08/12/2022 20:13

How can anyone live without their truth being heard by millions?

Maireas · 08/12/2022 20:14

@LemonSwan - how stressful, I hope your little one is ok now.
I just wish that they'd look at their privilege, just sometimes. Reflect on the amazing opportunities and global platform that was awarded to them by virtue of being part of Harry's family.

Exactly. At one point in episode 3 they say

Meghan: "We weren't allowed to tell our story because they didn't want..."

Harry: "well we've never been allowed to tell our story"

Meghan "that's true"

@WeWereInParis

I was replying to a poster who said W and K ' can't ' reply .

Of course they can .
This ' don't criticise the monarchy because they can't reply ' is gaslighting nonsense

No one is stopping them
Perhaps W and K prefer to let the press do their dirty work and they can just stand there and wave

They could reply, of course - nobody has a gun to their heads. But then they would come off just as pathetic as H&M, airing their dirty laundry in public.

Plus I think they are a bit more busy these days.

It must absolutely kill Meghan that Kate is now officially Princess of Wales, just like Diana was...

Sigma33 · 08/12/2022 20:15

It's what I am working towards. I am very disappointed that Netflix doesn't seem to want to give me millions for my life story

Novella4 · 08/12/2022 20:15

Charles did
So did Diana

H and M are now
Nothing stopping W and K

Didn't William say he was ready to 'retort '?

clyspa · 08/12/2022 20:16

Harry rightly pointing out there was abit of making up non existent protocols / like having her hair in a bun, wearing tights etc

Pics of her wearing hats (suggesting practising wearing them?)

She's asked if someone taught her to wave - she says no but not like an American

This is silly as the royal wave is about not injuring your hand or getting over tired not about how enthusiastic you are (though Prince Louis has the stamina for very enthusiastic waving!)

I don't think this segment is worth the price Netflix have paid

You can be the silver tree when I tell my truth.

That's right . One phone call and that's a day's work !

Make sure you practice wearing hats, otherwise who knows where it will end...

Again I'm guessing much of this outlining of the RF and all it's foibles is for an American audience - judging by all the Hallmark movies featuring Americans ending up with royalty they do seem pretty enamoured with the pomp and ceremony of it all.

clyspa · 08/12/2022 20:24

Everything is just smaller says MM

Now she's getting dressed for the army event she sores the red dress to - it actually looks orange in the lighting of the footage so didn't recognise it at first

She's saying in the U.K. rarely wore colour / given no one told her what to wear remember from her earlier comments I dread where she is going with this as expect it's to say she had to dilute herself but in the US be true to herself - let's see

And of course I'm thinking about Kate's green dress the other night snd gold dress for bond premiere so don't think there's any reason to not wear colour

She dating it was a considered choice as can't wear same colour as Queen or more senior royals (so Kate and camilla) so someone has said something about protocols then?

Come over here and give me a healing hug! Are you ok?

silvertreeformerlyknownasSigma33 · 08/12/2022 20:27

Though I don't really do hugs until I have known someone a while. I will try hard to overcome this lack of openness and authenticity

Thanks @Maireas I want to authenticate your lived experience

LemonSwan · 08/12/2022 20:29

@Maireas

Thanks maireas. I am sure he will be fine but you just have to get these things checked with the babes. What I would have given in that moment for a private home visit doctor rather than subject a poorly babe to a room full of bacteria, viruses and the subsequent piss (albeit the last one a rookie error by me).

And the global platforms thing does grate me too. Harry and co only have a global platform by virtue of the thing he despises. The media and the firm as they call it. If you want to leave it fine but then do and live a happy peaceful life. So many would give so much for what they have. Even Kate and wills I am sure. Why not just take what they have and enjoy. Why do we really need to hear these truths as much as it’s distracted me from my day. It’s a weird one for me for sure.
