Last thread has filled up so I thought I'd create another to chat trailers and teasers while we hang about waiting for better more truth bombs to drop in the main event.

People only seem keen to talk about the rumours about Meghan. They get very upset when you mention the rumours surrounding Williams affairs or his love of being fucked up the arse by a ‘friend’ of his.

These rumours seem much more far fetched

Meghan's miscarriage was not caused by the letter leaking. It's a myth that stress can cause miscarriage.

I think it's actually a really damaging thing to say. Many women blame themselves when they miscarry, did they work too hard? didn't they rest enough? when infact research shows miscarriage is fairly common in over 35s and it is nothing to do with anything a woman has done or hasn't done.

Why does he say he thinks his mum was going to end up living in America/California? Is that just him grasping at straws trying to connect with his mum because I never saw any indication that she was going to end up in America?

Yes, I thought that was a bit of a reach. It's like halfway through saying it, he heard himself, and hesitated.

Thank you (though it looks nothing like a yacht to me). I don't like the rumours about any of them.

I don't like the rumours either. Fair enough to comment about things they say that aren't true or things we know to be true but the rumours aren't necessary and some of them are vile.

ArcaneWireless · 15/12/2022 19:47

Amen ancientgran

It is in the most part unsubstantiated pish. Fine commenting on what someone says or does but by Christ, their kids will be party to this as they grow.

It is bad enough for the adults to read but the kids?

And all in the name of tit for tat. (You said something about H&M/W&C so I’m going to retaliate on their behalf.)

Nasty shit.

Pearl664 · 15/12/2022 19:49

I didn't read anything into the comment about who lived before in Nottingham cottage. I assumed they were talking about people years ago.

ArcaneWireless · 15/12/2022 19:51

And the same with the wide eyed ingénues who start multiple threads with a frothmeister general agenda.

fairydustt · 15/12/2022 19:54

@Janiie agreed. Meghan says she was depressed and felt suicidal after the miscarriage, I wonder if part of the reason why is because her husband was pissed about it and essentially was saying that it could have been avoided if only she hadn't been so stressed. Sure, he didn't outright say 'it was meghans fault' but he is saying that because she felt stressed, she miscarried.. i.e if she hadn't felt stressed then she wouldn't have miscarried... another yikes!

Ohnonevermind · 15/12/2022 20:01

I don’t like the rumours about either side either.
While yachting exists, there has been no evidence of Meghan doing anything, ditto Williams supposed affair

OhmygodDont · 15/12/2022 20:23

I mean I can’t say I’ve looked into either but maybe Willie and Kate have a deal as that’s not her thing some couples have agreed sharing and fetish stuff and maybe M did like boats. Both things could be true without being terribly terrible. It’s not exactly known for aristo to not swap and share.

Peasepuddingbloodycold · 15/12/2022 20:25

I didn't see any hint of Harry blaming Meghan for the miscarriage @fairydustt

DuchessofSandwich · 15/12/2022 20:38

I've read several posts about some future idea of Harry divorcing Meghan. I don't think he can now. Because of the Hague convention the kids will stay in the USA so he can't go back to the UK with them. Meghan will probably alienate the kids from him so he'd lose them and he has burnt all his bridges so has nowhere else to go. His best bet is staying with Meghan and going along with everything. That way he has his kids and the family life that he always wanted.

Roussette · 15/12/2022 20:40

Speculating that a couple are going to divorce is very distasteful Hmm

JemimaTiggywinkles · 15/12/2022 20:42

Harry clearly blamed the press for the miscarriage. Which is understandable. But it isn’t acceptable (imo) to allow such misinformation to go unchallenged and call your programme a documentary. Particularly when a fair chunk of your ‘documentary’ is about misinformation in the media.

Having watched episode 4-6 I think Harry and Meghan are two very damaged people who see hatred and lies where they don’t exist. Neither is cut out for the level of scrutiny that being in the royal family entails. They blame the press (when really social media is a million times worse) and his family (when the approach of “ignore it and it’ll go away” is better long term).

The whole premise of the documentary is that they’re much wronged, totally innocent and a truly great love story. But, in reality, they have much privilege which (at least partially) offsets the wrongs done to them, they are partially culpable for how they’re perceived (they’re hypocrites about the environment and he is about racism, for example) and there are a huge number of people who having loving marriages (what they have is good, but not particularly special).

Other than that, what is noticeable is how Harry is still so damaged by the loss of Diana. I’m astounded that he has never managed to get effective mental health treatment to enable him to live a happy life. I hope that now he’s had his say (incorrect though I believe it is) he will be able to find some peace.

Finally, I think the documentary was quite dishonest in the representation of Meghan’s case against the Mail. She won on “copyright infringement” grounds, not privacy.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 15/12/2022 20:50

What Jenny Afia doesn’t mention is that Jason Knauf was telling the truth in his witness statement, with emails and texts to prove it, and so proved Meghan was lying

As I said elsewhere, I've long suspected that the real loathing of Knauf is precisely because he was able to show this

What Jenny also hasn’t mentioned was that Meghan herself had already approached Jason Knauf to give evidence for her

Yes, and looking at the yes they did/no we didn't bit at the very end, they'd better hope Knauf doesn't have more emails proving meghan did request that evidence - because otherwise they could finish up looking very silly once again

Glindara · 15/12/2022 20:58

Was there a claim that 5 of MM friends took it upon themselves without MM permission or approval to independently brief a magazine with a positive story of MM?

Did I hear that correctly?

CathyorClaire · 15/12/2022 20:59

Oh.

Just sat down to look at this and spookily enough it's on 666 replies. Oooh😈

Aspiringmatriarch · 15/12/2022 21:02

I've started watching so thought I'd pop back on here. I didn't actually think they were being particularly negative about the cottage having seen it now, they were just laughing about it and saying it's not grand in the way you might imagine being at Kensington Palace. I can imagine Oprah being shocked but that's just very American isn't it? I used to go to the US quite a bit and our old house felt very quaint and tiny whenever I came back. And everything looked so green driving home from the airport. But I'm English so that's what feels 'right' and like home to me.

Anyway it's well known the RF don't live all that grandly, if you ignore the private flights and holidays etc. Remember that picture of Anne and her husband watching the football?

But yeah I didn't really think they were being that controversial now I've watched it, it was good humoured I would say. And clearly they weren't talking about William when they said whoever lived there must have been short - it was just an offhand comment about when it was built.

fairydustt · 15/12/2022 21:10

@Peasepuddingbloodycold he didn't blame Meghan for the miscarriage, that's not what I was saying. It is a myth that stress can cause miscarriages and Many women blame themselves when they have a miscarriage 'if only I hadn't done this' 'if only I hadn't done that' 'if only I had relaxed and not been so stressed' etc etc. If I had a miscarriage, it would not be helpful to me if my husband was angry at an external source and saying that I had a miscarriage because I was stressed, essentially saying that if I hadn't felt a certain way then it could have been avoided. this is exactly why a lot of women blame themselves. I'm not saying he is meaning to put blame onto Meghan but it's no wonder she felt depressed afterwards if this is what he was saying

Peasepuddingbloodycold · 15/12/2022 21:17

Sorry for misunderstanding. When you wrote, Meghan says she was depressed and felt suicidal after the miscarriage, I wonder if part of the reason why is because her husband was pissed about it and essentially was saying that it could have been avoided if only she hadn't been so stressed. I thought you were saying she may have felt blamed for the miscarriage because her husband was pissed off about it and felt the miscarriage could have been avoided if only she hadn't have been so stressed.

CathyorClaire · 15/12/2022 21:20

Does anyone else keep thinking of H from Line of Duty?

Yep.

Feverish speculation followed by thumpingly dull disappointment.

Plus ça change.

... yes... when Harry says he blames stress for causing Meghan's miscarriage, he is implying that if she hadn't been stressed then she wouldn't of miscarried...

MardyHa · 15/12/2022 21:24

I’m surprised we haven’t heard from Meghan’s father again in light of all this (I do feel sorry for her about that). They were suggesting it wasn’t him replying to the text messages, I wonder who they thought (Samantha?). I also wondered, given her father was still coming to the wedding at that time, why Ashleigh couldn’t be invited.
