I wondered if the reference to being told not to send photos by text to her friends was referencing that. Why would she have imagined that taking photos of private family stuff within the RF would be perfectly fine to be shared with her friends? If that is what it was.
They just seem totally tone deaf . The whole six hours was about themselves and their suffering. No insights into how others might have viewed them, except in a negative context. Nothing positive about any member of the RF bar the Queen, and only I suspect because they knew she was off limits. Just endless focus on their Great Love Story and their Tribulations. Tiresome and egotistical.
I notice many of the contentious issues were completely airbrushed out. The supposed bullying of staff, the demands they made on staff round the clock, their bad temper and demanding manner. Tiara gate. The 'forgetting' of vital information in the court case. The insistence that Finding Freedom did not use source material from them, when it clearly did. The claims that they were already married before the ceremony in public. Interesting that they didn't address any of this. How incredibly naive Harry was to think he would be provided Met protection for life in a foreign country. Just jaw dropping really.
They seem to have a lovely life now, gambolling in their beautiful gardens, going to the beach (why aren't they worried about Paps hiding out there?), playing games and lounging around. Really, they are incredibly fortunate. Neither of them has a job and they are set for life now with the enormous sums Netflix has paid them for essentially home movie footage. They wouldn't have had any of that without Harry's Royal connections. Yet there is not an ounce of gratitude, just endlessly painting themselves as Victims.
The press harassment was dreadful, but not motivated by racism I believe, in the main. Of course there are some deranged and dangerous loonies out there for whom race is an issue, but I think class and social expectations were at the root of a lot of the criticism, and Meghan often came across badly. Barging in front of Harry at public events, interrupting him, constantly drawing attention to herself at every opportunity. It grated. I think she is a total mismatch for the RF and Harry was obviously just looking for an exit from the whole shebang. They have got what they wanted now and good luck to them. I do think that one of these days it will hit home for Harry that he's jettisoned virtually his whole family and there will never be a way back. At the moment they are still in a phase of euphoria and excitement about their new life. Five or ten years down the line when they have nothing else to sell, and their children don't know their extended family, the regret may begin to set in.
