[clyspa]

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

James back wondering if new generation will question the monarchy (but he loves them)

This is mental given the history of this country - there have always been discussion (and sometimes a lot more - Cromwell anyone)?

@themessygarden - I said exactly the same further up the thread. It's horrible, isn't it?!

He says (not wrong) that it's problematic to say family are anointed by god to rule including over countries so needs to modernise and needs support

All true but I don't feel they push that message - to me they are an embodiment of history and tradition and I personally at least order them given this tradition then electing what is a figurehead only now

If they dumped him then he would say that now wouldn't he? In fact, they were gorgeous, young women.

Yes, both Cressida and Chelsy are university educated so the same level of formal education as Meghan. Chelsy is a trained lawyer though I don't think she has practiced much.

I'm sure both are very happy they dodged the balding ginger bullet.

Episode 1 sounds kind of boring. Hopefully the others will be better. Thank you for the recaps everyone 🙂

Footage of all of them doing visits etc (from before MM I think largely anyway and no pics of her) while people explain they have popularity rating between 60-80%, how many engagements they do, where they live and how their press is organised

So Harry could have similarly explained all this to MM....

Did he also announce that he's renouncing all his royal titles and is henceforth to be address as Harry Mountbatten Windsor?

And that he's going to request to be removed from the Line of Succession?

Presumably we're not going to see him at the Coronation, are we?

"I think they were surprised. They were surprised a ginger could land such a beautiful woman, and such an intelligent woman"

Can we not with the denigrating gingers too please Harry while we’re being so very woke… 🙄

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

I'm anticipating more foreshadowing to later claims as they are now saying the various press offices for each household are charged with generating constant publicity

I'm going to preface this with saying I've not watched it.

However a friend has watched it this morning and amongst other comments she said she was very surprised at the amount of images they shared of their children given how private they have been about them up to now.

Can you confirm if this is accurate clyspa? If so is it just me who thinks it seems very much like they are merching out their children for extra views.

I am not planning to watch it (even though I want all the gossip!).

But watching it is giving those 2 airtime and I don't want to do that.

I think selling your soul and trying to destroy your famllily is a despicable thing to do and it's already clear its based on lies (the videos from March 2020).

Yes, I thought that too, @Beees . They didn’t actually want to protect their children from media attention, they just wanted to ensure that there was maximum commercial gain for their parents when they did exploit them.

Those are Harry's words - and I thought referencing his hair colour was bizarre tbh. Wasn't sure if he was lining up to add being discriminated against for his hair colour to his long list of woes.....

On a personal note, I bloody love a red-headed man so absolutely no denigration from my direction. I used to have a mad crush on Boris Becker when I was younger 😅

And Chelsea Davy has degrees in economics and law and used to work at Allen and Overy; she is probably brighter than Meghan tbh.

That's what I said to my friend but obviously I don't actually know how many images they have shown.

It seems very much like they have been kept out of the public just so their parents can maximise the use of the images in the documentary. Otherwise why else would they be so keen to limit the amount of pictures of the 2 kids to then include private family photos in the documentary?

Yes, absolutely - I said the same in my earlier thread. I have to confess to not knowing much about Cressida, but Chelsea is a very intelligent woman. I think she's set up her own business now?

There was absolutely no need to lift Meghan up by trashing past girlfriends in a back-handed way. I would say it's sly, but I don't think Harry is bright enough for that.

Indeed it is shade.

However, they were both intelligent enough to know who he was and also to know/understand the life they would be thrown into.

Beees - yes they have opened the personal photo album / it's like years of personal stuff in one episode - I really don't think I'm wrong that they would have given less of this personal stuff away by being working royals and does seem at odds with their earlier position of keeping it all private

But then they had this in the works very early on I'd say - not surprised if as early as 2019

Harry saying they were harassed as kids and made to smile and answer questions (footage of them with Beatrice and Eugenia skiing and doing a photo all - William asked if he's enjoying the ski ing)

I am unsure as won't say he's wrong but the examples are not matching the dialogue / I mean they harassed William into just saying he is having a nice time ski ing?

yes they have opened the personal photo album / it's like years of personal stuff in one episode - I really don't think I'm wrong that they would have given less of this personal stuff away by being working royals and does seem at odds with their earlier position of keeping it all private

So much for wanting their children's lives to be more ordinary and keeping them out of the limelight then. I can't see how it can be argued any other way that they were deliberately withholding the images simply so they could use them in a situation which would get them the most money.

I can well believe they are lore personal than the ones we see of the other children in the family. I wonder how the kids will feel having these private photos shared for profit in future.

I thinks what he meant was that none of them wanted to be put there for the photos and the questions.

So he wants to be plain mister now does he? If he doesn’t like the hierarchy, the unearned privilege and anything else he’s complaining about then he needs to voluntarily give up all titles that link him to the RF. I won’t hold my breath though.

Deal is they take a pic then get left in peace but he's saying only done would leave.

The whole pact made with the press wasnt until Diana died right?
