I have seen several newspapers referring to this German documentary. It's the first I've heard of it.

Meghan said that she wouldn’t let her children go to school in the UK because she is “a good and strong parent protecting her child” the week before the Cambridge children all started their new school in the UK.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes American schools are much safer than the the top private school they would have been funded to go to. I don't get why she couldn't just be honest that she wanted to move back to America and that Harry was evidently happy to join her there and start their new lives together. Why all of this crap about freedom flights and needing to escape.

@Runnerinthenight

It's really not. While MM may not actually be behind it, with all her posturing about abusive social media, she hasn't condemned the attacks on Kate, William and their family either, has she?!!
And they didn't condemn the public attacks on her either did they. That's what set the whole thing off. She was treated appallingly and Kate William and the palace sat back and allowed it to happen. Even the whole who cried at the dress fitting situation. It was clearly Kate who made Meghan cry as Kate later apologised which William has acknowledged. Yet they merrily sat back and let Meghan take the flack

The rf do not usually comment. They haven't commented on the absolute shower of shite which descended on Katie's head over the last 6 months - talk about being treated appallingly. What's the point in commenting? It doesn't help. In fact it usually makes things a whole lot worse, opens up a 'tit for tat'.

Prince William did the same as Harry, when Kate, his then girlfriend, was hounded to the point of tears by paparazzi, issuing a formal statement.

When Harry asked press to leave Meghan alone at the start of their relationship he was supported in his statement by William.

The RF recognise there is no point in issuing statements, especially in the current climate of fake news, social media lies etc.

Meghan was given unprecedented courtesies by the rf - literally showing how she was part of the family even before the wedding. Much better to show rather than issuing pointless press statements that don't change a thing.

Because she is desperately insecure and intensely jealous of Kate so she wants everyone to believe that she has scored an enormous coup in marrying Harry and leaving for the US. She also wants people to think she is much better, cleverer, more popular, more stylish, more friendly than Kate (although no-one bar her most committed fans believes that).

Meghan clearly doesn't even believe it herself, or she wouldn't spend so much time trying to convince people of it. Poor Meghan. What a way to live.

InsomniacIda · 28/07/2024 09:25

I think all this terror of the UK is also coming from her and Harry has swallowed it all. She has no intention of visiting his family with the kids so has convinced him they are all in mortal danger. He parrots her words like the puppet he is.

smilesy · 28/07/2024 09:32

I agree she has no intention of visiting unless it would give her something advantageous like access to a palace for photos or something. Meghan wants to live the California A list life. She has never wanted to be just a member of the Royal family. The reality of that was not glamorous enough for her. Unfortunately access to that A lister existence involves more than just marrying a prince

They both seem oddly obsessed by lineage. It’s like they’re looking for an identity.

I personally think it's that they're trying g to get some fame and fortune from these countries, Malta, Nigeria, Germany ... I wonder where next

If by terror then he means criticism and booing and dislike then yes that is a potential. If he means anything worse then he is surely deluded.

I heard a day or two ago that Harry was scared of acid attacks and something g else if MM came to the uk?! Where the fuck did that come from?
Then that nonsense about the UK schools - WTAF?!
They have extended their RF hatefulness to the UK entirely?! The UK is far safer than the US

Sunlime · 28/07/2024 10:02

They want IPP:

Being an IPP is essentially a free ticket to receive automatic state bodyguards almost anywhere in the world. Any signatory to the United Nations’ Protection of Diplomat’s Convention is duty-bound to prevent “attacks on the person, freedom or dignity” of a visiting Internationally Protected Person.

They had this as working Royals but when they stepped back it was (reasonably) stripped from them. We know they were annoyed as Harry mentioned in the Oprah interview that they were 'shocked':

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/harry-meghan-oprah-archie-sussex-b1993966.html

IPP funding for the Royals is always controversial anyway, no way could they step back from Royal duties and still fairly recieve it. It's really rare to have it and you can't expect countries to pay for them off on their jollies and not on any sort of official duties. There are also other related 'benefits' of having IPP status that I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

I don't buy that he was shocked, there's no way there wouldn't have been extensive conversations around what would happen if/when they left; he might not have listened as is his arrogance, but to suggest he was shocked by it is ridiculous.

Harry told Oprah of shock at removal of security and how he pushed back

The Duke of Sussex said while he and his wife had changed status in stepping back from their royal roles, the risk remained.

Probably what set the whole thing off in fact was Meghan passing a story onto one of her Toronto social circle, Elaine Lui, who runs the website LaineyGossip, that snooty Kate had refused to give her a lift to the shops when Meghan was the new royal girlfriend staying with Harry at Kensington palace? The story was published in February 2017, just three months after Meghan and Harry’s relationship became public.

At the time Elaine Lui worked with Ben Mulroney, Meghan's then very close friend Jessica Mulroney's husband - they were co-hosts on a tv show called e-talk and they were all in the same circle (there's a photo of them all out at a big dinner together, for example).

The story was also covered in Finding Freedom too. Meghan holds grudges spectacularly, it seems.

I hadn't twigged that the "lift to the shops" story was so close to the start of the relationship, and it does seem odd to be feeding such accounts to others quite so soon

Not exactly something which would make a family warm to a newcomer, but perhaps Meghan didn't care?

CoffeeCantata · 28/07/2024 10:23

She added: "It felt like the old Harry was back. He talked to all of us. We had some little toys that we gave for Archie and Lilibet. He said he was enjoying Germany and has a lot of German in him, he was obviously referring to his family heritage."

Then I expect to hear him speaking passable German. I look forward to it! With his heritage, opportunities and privileged education I'd be very disappointed if he didn't.

Puzzledandpissedoff · Today 10:19

I would hate someone trying to get that personal with me so soon! Call me snooty, and I'm certainly no hugger.

It smacks very much of setting Catherine up - make a silly request and then create a drama because the person declined. An old trick when playing victim.

CoffeeCantata · 28/07/2024 10:27

Meghan's lineage is also interesting, with her father Thomas Markle's ancestors reportedly having connections to Germany and Switzerland.”

Yes - I think Markle is a version of Merkel - as in Angela, so definitely of Germanic origin.

Oh definitely! They might not be able to orchestrate enough SS members to drown out the boos and heckles.

There was a crack team of them trying to do that outside the Invictus service. I wonder who pays their travel and accommodation costs?

William and KP did put out (an unprecedented) public statement. The Palace also put out more public statements in support of H&M during their brief time as working Royals than they did for any other Royal in the same time period.

You're comparing apples and oranges. The RF don't respond or comment. It isn't/wasn't for W and C to 'defend' Meghan.

But H & M are now free of those constraints. They are very vocal about the evils of bullying and the importance of mental health, so their silence on the SS's campaign seems deafening to me.

We all use our critical faculties to make judgments about what is credible, unless we were eye-witnesses.

I stand by my opinions, based on credible evidence, and not just what H & M say! We'll have to agree to disagree.

Refusal could also be down to security. Kate had organised to go out, had let her security detail know times, places, who'd be going etc., then Meghan wants a last minute lift. No time to change plans so Kate has to say no.

Whichever way, certainly not worth getting your knickers in a knot over, and certainly no reason to hang on to yet another perceived slight and make sure it found it's way into public view.

I agree.

I wonder if such conversations might form part of the mysteriously deleted evidence?

Like she saw the RF as a resource to be mined and exploited, rather than as a family of individual, real people whom she intended to join and built a relationship with.

Did the late Queen speak German? I know she spoke "Stratford atte Bowe" French...

Indeed, @Rhaidimiddim, and if true that would fit in with my personal belief that Meghan never had the least intention of staying in the UK - or as CoffeeCantata put it, "make a silly request and then create a drama because the person declined. An old trick when playing victim"

As mentioned, it just seemed so very early to be doing it
