GB News is losing the plot!

I really don’t think there is a ‘contest’ other than in the minds of parts of the media. One brother will be King in time and the other brother wants to leave a meaningful legacy in his own right. So far both are doing a great job in carving out their own lives. I hope the brothers come to a point in time where they can be friends again. Life is too short to hold on to anger. The media doesn’t help by embroiling itself in their relationship - or lack thereof currently. I think many people in many countries would love to see a sense of family togetherness again with all of the current King’s grandchildren getting to know one another. It would show how a public facing family can overcome its own difficulties if KCIII could bring both brothers into line again. It’s time to stop painting Harry as the black sheep of the family. It hasn’t worked, it just drives more dissent and anti monarchy feeling in the younger generation. If we are to have a King William and a King George then the younger generation do need to see the institution as worth holding onto. As Harry is clearly active on the world stage harnessing his global appeal would be an advantageous move by the current King.

Harry is in a situation of his own making. He left the UK to live a private life with his wife and children. All fine. Majority of people okay with that - he was doing what he felt was best for him and his family. But then he decided to sell stories on his family to make a bit of money. Because that’s what the Oprah interview was - to pull in the audiences and money he had to bring something to the table. Then he proceeded to sell a book trashing his family. Of course none of his family will touch him with the proverbial barge pole, because they worry any discussions had will be sold to the highest bidder. He’s lost everyone’s trust, and I honestly can’t see how he will win that back. Or even if he’s bothered.

Nobody is hitting her over the head, don't be silly. She claimed to not know anything about the BRF. That doesn't chime with someone having a close connection with the Commonwealth. I personally don't believe her about the BRF at all, but I still don't think the Commonwealth would have had any impact on her in her pre Harry days simply because she's American and there's no reason why it should.

She never said she did not know anything. I think it’s been done to death. Rehashing opinions about what she knew has been bigged up by the media in the past. No one cares!

Is this another one of those 'Summer of' Love' paid for puff pieces? Certainly sounds like it.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 23/08/2024 22:14

They’ve just made themselves irrelevant by excluding their brightest stars.

They chose to leave because the Queen said no to their ridiculous announcement of half in half out, they were not excluded at all, in fact they even were given 12 months grace if they wanted to return, and don’t make me laugh, our royal family will never be irrelevant, it’s lasted over a thousand years already it will take more than dimwit Harry and his ghastly wife to make them irrelevant, the world went batshit bonkers crazy when Catherine was not seen for a few weeks despite an announcement saying she was having an operation and would be absent so hardly irrelevant, I would say they are more high profile than ever on the worldwide stage thanks to Catherine’s star power and soon the 3 children will be grabbing all the headlines, Meghan and Harry will just be some 50 something ex royals still bleating on that Daddy didn’t give them enough cash and William got the bigger sausage.

Oh, look at that.

People arguing about 2 celebs in America. Why?

Oh yeah, because they're being manipulated by propaganda and nonsense.🤦‍♀️

Theunamedcat · 23/08/2024 22:20

Have they actually spoken to anyone Canadian? They are not beloved wanted and adored they are ridiculed they were castigated for their invictus promotion which didn't seem to show the athletes as much as meghans outfits it's a long laundry list of them turning their nose up at the Sussex behaviour

Gorgonemilezola · 23/08/2024 22:20

'Piers Morgan was apparently really angry that Meghan ghosted him, from what I’ve read.'

Well yes, but the real question is why Meghan was cosying up to him in the first place. She needed him, and then when she didn't she dropped him like a hot potato. She seems to do that a lot.

I don't need to look at media opinions about what she knew, I just listen to her own words and those of her husband and her own professed ignorance. And "nobody cares" is your opinion, which is not the only opinion. Many people do care about the damage a proven liar has done to the the UK and the institution that comprises its head of state.

Gorgonemilezola · 23/08/2024 22:26

'They’ve just made themselves irrelevant by excluding their brightest stars.'

Really, no. Harry and Meghan were the shiny newlyweds which is why they got the attention. William and Kate had been in exactly the same position a few years previously.

Harry and Meghan were a novelty. The gloss would have worn off but they buggered off first. The gloss has indeed worn off and all that's left is the controversy.

Toastbuttermarmaladetea · 23/08/2024 22:27

Is there any other source for the words of this Canadian chap? I'm assuming that a legitimate story would have coverage/would have broken in more legitimate news outlets than GB News.

Harry and Meghan are the ones who try to manipulate the public with their lies and propaganda, luckily most people with half a brain cell can see straight through them.

Most people with half a brain cell don't see them at all because they are irrelevant strangers living on a different continent.

You probably wouldn't notice them if you didn't consume bullshit, divisive media.🤷‍♀️

Yet here you are taking time out of your day to post on a thread about irrelevant strangers living on a different continent.

You couldn’t make it up could you? OP starts a thread about GB News and I’m the one who consumes bullshit divisive media 🙄😂.

TooBigForMyBoots · 23/08/2024 22:45

Except I'm not posting about them. I've said nothing other than I am glad to not have to pay them money or attention.

The thread is about GB News. The not news channel that thrives on stirring shit in the UK.

PotatoPie111 · 23/08/2024 22:47

Harry goes to third world countries and makes them pay for his vanity visits which achieve nothing.

He is ruining the brand of Invictus, he will have no legacy.

Toastbuttermarmaladetea · 23/08/2024 22:48

No, it's a thread to post a positive puff piece about Harry and Meghan, dressed up in a bit of flannel about GB News "losing the plot". If it was a thread about GB News having a change in editorial direction, it would have been posted on a media board, not the royal board.

Then quote her accurately. She has enough mud slung at her without making more of it than needs to be.

Hardly true. He had a bad boy image but was loved for it regardless.

Read the thread title.

As for GB News having a change in editorial direction, the only editorial direction they have is to be RW and divisive.🤷‍♀️
