Anyone starting to feel sorry for them?

No matter how preeningly narcissistic the couple may seem, surely even they must now have realised what the source of their woes is? The fact is: people were only interested in hearing what Harry and Meghan had to say when they were dishing the dirt on the royal family.Hence, in January last year, the record-breakingly vast sales of Harrys memoir Spare. with all its eye-popping claims about his brother, father and stepmother. But every time he, and Meghan, start talking about any other topic – be it sport, jam or social justice – the world turns off. No one cares. Now that the Sussexes have finished flogging all the family secrets, they’ve got nothing that anyone wants.

There is part of me that does feelsorry for them too. I mean 2024 has been a disaster, off the back of 2023 which was another disaster. It’s not going to get any better. Reap what you sow, so we knew it was coming their way but it’s all a bit sad and pathetic now. The faux tours, cards from ‘the office of’, as time goes on, the more pathetic that will look because they have lost all connection to the Royals

This must be their year of reckoning. He won’t win his cases, they will lose Netflix, the brand will face further set backs, they realise that their kids will never have a royal Christmas at Sandringham or summer at Balmoral, ever. In fact they are unlikely to ever meet the King again.

Its all came off the rails. We all knew it would happen. Many could even see the disaster impending from the engagement announcement. But it’s still hard to watch and that’s what makes me feel a bit sorry for them.

Prepared to be flamed! 😬

It will be different for them, as it's all been so public.

I don't think the children see the Spencers either.

They've cut a hell of a lot of his family off, the vast majority in fact, and hers too. It's no coincidence.

I don't agree with that at all.

I agree with it. All the RF are living in massive mansions hoarding their huge wealth which is acquired in dodgy ways paying as little tax as possible.

The Wales children are the sons and daughter of the next king. Of course they will be seen in public!

William and Kate see their role as a duty, and are not attention seekers in the way Harry and Meghan are. It's William's birthright to be in the public eye. What a daft thing to say!

The same as just about every other wealthy family.

@wigsonthegreenandhatsforthelifting other wealthy families don't live off the tax payers. The public are well within their rights to applaud or criticise them as they see fit. You seem to be an avid defender of the RF but very critical of H&M who aren't tax payer funded.

Exactly. Only those who are truly living a miserable existence are desperate to believe that they have company. And we all know how these fantasists have been accurately described. Give me a D…give me an E… we know the rest. While this royal couple continue to get out and about and are well-regarded to be invited to this event and the other, these obsessives will fill yet another year writing about them on MN. I think it’s quite clear who is truly living the miserable life.
Oh and note, Harry chose the leave the RL family. He then chose to say that he would not return. So stop deceiving yourselves that the life of a British royal is one to aspire to. Both Harry and Megan rejected it and appear much happier for doing so. And, yes, before we have the predicted comments about their titles, they can choose whether or not to use them. It’s called freewill. Something that other members of their family don’t seem to have.

😂

How can it be a nice life when all they is complain and continue to force themselves down everyone’s throat’s?

I doubt very much she wants William. Anyway he’s been taken for years and years and would never look at someone like her twice.

The RF also have independent means.

I will be critical of the RF if I feel they merit it.

I despise the manner in which H&M have conducted themselves, and I speak as I find.

You could be right ….

Oh come off it, they only rejected it because they weren't going to be allowed to cherrypick the bits they wanted from it.

You know nothing about anyone's life who is posting here bar the very little they might choose to share, and the comments about their "miserable existences" come across as puerile.

The other members of the family are also "free" to choose to leave if they wish.

And here is proof of the validity of Justine Roberts' assessment of certain MNers.

So Harry 'loves' Kate and Meghan loves 'William'.

Whatever next ... still... it's given me a good laugh!

Exactly. The RF are not the Kardashian’s

Is spending each and every day writing on an online forum about a couple you do not know, know little about and who you claim to dislike an example of a fulfilling life? If so, we should all aim to be unfulfilled.

Well said! Searching for every bit of negativity is very peculiar. IMHO anyway

I hope everyone can move on, accept, and think IT'S CHRISTMAS 🧑‍🎄❄️🍾🎄

AI alert

Thought from the title you meant the ACTUAL royal family, not this whinging self-obsessed pair of liars. Why would anyone feel sorry for them? They seem like complete idiots and really up themselves. They could have had a pleasant life in relative obscurity, using his inherited money. but instead are trying to live as if they're film stars, while failing publicly at every turn, lying and treating their own families like crap. It's embarrassing.

The only intelligence you'll get on a thread like this.

Oh gawd, it's the Archbishop of Canterbury droning on with his trendy epithets of AI doom

Lots of people spend a bit of down time titting around on line, maybe every day, and post on lots of threads, and if they use the "threads I'm on" feature, then will check for new comments on any and all threads that interest them.

Only in this topic is that considered something to be criticised.

They have lived independently from the RF for years now

Hardly. Their lives are funded entirely by their link with the RF.

It might sound dramatic, but at certain points during the post OW interview era I did think that H&M were attemping to destroy the line of succession with PR warfare. Remember, that was the BLM heyday and racist allegations could seriously ruin reputations.

I think that they thought that the backlash was going to be similar as what happened after Diana died. That somehow the uproar would brand Charles, William and Kate as terrible racists unfit to reign and the job would fall unto their laps. The same with the Where is Kate? situation.

The PR strategies nowadays are brutal (look at the whole Blake Lively situation). Not as bloody as raising in army in France during the Middle Ages but equally ruthless.
