Porkies, Perfidies & Pomposity - Harry and Meghan thread 2

[YaMuvva]

I do not take credit for the title

First thread here

Shall we continue the discussion? I will not be engaging with the posters spouting damaging and unfounded gossip

It wouldn't surprise me if H & M think just having an idea is 'producing content'. That's the easy bit.

I always thought that the content that we did hear about sounded a bit dull too eg Pearl, a girl who learns from strong women or something like that. It’s all a bit too worthy and earnest and lacking a sense of humour. I think they made the assumption that just because they would be interested in that sort of thing, everyone else would be. They have no idea about target audiences etc

The comments make interesting reading too!

Is it the one where the woman's voice has been disguised? I have seen that one .

I’m not buying that “interview”.

Yes, that’s the one @CremeFresh
I watched it with the subtitles and sound off.

I think this is most likely nasty shite.

However when you choose to let your own spouted nasty shite go free range on SM and the like, I suppose you don’t have that much of a leg to stand on complaints-wise.

But waaaaagh - this is not true.

But waaaaagh - now you know how it feels.

I didn’t say I was which is why I didn’t link it to start with. I was asked to link it.
I made it pretty clear that I wasn’t sure it was genuine.

It’s all over X though and I was only asking if anyone else had seen it for their opinion!

Going back to the 'working hard' topic, for me it's not just working hard at your job, it's all the other things that a normal person has to do which makes life hard work. The RF don't have to worry about money, remember to renew insurance, sort out a leak, go food shopping , worry about your son in law being made redundant having just had a baby and all the other life stuff that has to be sorted.
Their work is all sorted out for them, appointments made,travel arranged even what they wear is easier for them.

No worries! Not giving you a hard time for linking it. I watched a minute and the “maid” was telling the interviewer that Meghan listened to her channel. It’s also obviously a man. Probably her brother or a friend.

Thank god I’m not on Twitter @MummyJ12 - I’d lose days!!!

My opinion is the same as yours.

I'm not sure whether it's genuine or not, but IF it is then it might explain the picture of H with bruises and an apparent bite mark (which I'm not sure have been photoshopped or not) .
The interviewer is definitely not a MM fan so it could be all made up.

If you listen to the whole thing, there's a segment where the voice disguise isn't on and it sounds like a woman.

Oh I do @smellasmelle I go down rabbit holes on X on a daily basis!
I only have oodles of time at the moment because DS is sitting his GCSEs at home and is also having loads of home tuition too so I’m basically housebound for now, and you guys are keeping me company (and sane-ish!) while I have to sit here quietly.
Anyway, sorry for the derail.

Thanks @AliceOlive and no worries!

I’m on here to distract myself silly mummy but am a fucker for rabbit holes and have to stay away!

Loads of stuff going on that I’d rather not have to think about or deal with. It can wait for another day 😊

As for the sanity? I’m in the ish camp too 😉

I'm up for being distracted too , we've had the most shocking year, I've never been so worried (extremely unwell grandchild, GOSH/heart surgery, all ok now thankfully)

I can't sit and listen to that interview, the youtuber is so annoying and such mean questions - going straight into Meghan's looks. And it's silly to act like Meghan is wrong for thinking she's famous, she's obviously world famous. It just seems like someone desperately wanting to feed the conspiracy theories. It's no better than all the comments around 'where's Kate?' and the sort of things the Sussex Squad come out with about Rose etc.

And to everyone else who is here for shits and giggles 🌻

That is when they lost my attention. ‘Oooh she smells’ and the like? Shameful.

Playground twaddle and juvenile in the extreme.

I don’t condone it and I’d be surprised if anyone else did.

@CremeFresh and @smellasmelle 💗💐

I'm not going to watch it, that's not a really positive or healthy approach - being juvenile

There are so many commentators on M&H - they can’t all have exclusive content.

If I were a maid or other employee, and I had such exciting titbits to share, I would not be contacting a random YouTuber, but going after the big bucks - whichever paper etc would pay me a juicy sum. Mind you, very few employees of anyone seem to sell stories, or perhaps they try but the “media” don’t wish to invade privacy to that extent.

I agree about not watching it. If it’s true it will no doubt come out in the wash. If it’s not it’s spiteful and vile.

A wise move @DelectableMe

For me, it didn’t need to resort to childish insults if the more serious allegations were true.
