60 Mins Australia to release Jason Knauf documentary.

What big moment? She is always having big moments announced suddenly this will have been in the works for sometime it's not personal

And William and Catherine public profile is pretty dull and very private.

And I think that's by design. They give the press nothing, go on a few engagement and go home. They're not interested in the fame, being friends with celebrities (Jason Knauf said the same in his interview). They (not their press team) are not interested in the media game. I remember in the 2010s, a journalist openly admitted that the reason Kate and William got negative press in the 2010s is because they wouldn't play the media game.

They clearly like their little life in the countryside with their kids.

They're very protective of their privacy and their kids' privacy (both Harry and William are).

Harry and Meghan are just a lot more open. Even with their kids, I feel like we've seen private moments of Archie and Lili in 2 years than we've ever seen in the Waleses kids in more than a decade.

@Nono22972 good points. It's obvious that H&M are seeking publicity and want to generate headlines for whatever reasons. The Waleses only where it's part of their public role.

Reports of Meghan Markles appalling behaviour to others didnt need to be reignited by JK in this documentary - as it has been consistently reported over many years and in many settings by many highly credible publications.

Working backwards very recently in the last week media reports of her demanding and difficult behaviour with her agency WME to such an extent the CEO wont deal with her. A few weeks before that the wide ranging investigation and expose in Vanity Fair of her bullying staff, then Access Hollywood and The Hollywood Reporter did an extensive piece on her bullying. Prior we had reports in The Times as well as Valentine Lows 'Courtiers' book. The Buckingham Palace investigation into Meghan Markle bullying then the Director of The Reitmans commercial (this was before she met PH) - these are all the official public declartions of her bullying behaviour which has driven some staff from their jobs and livelihoods and to such mental distress that they have required professional medical intervention to recover their mental health. Then their will be all of the other friends, family, colleagues and ex husbands/partners who have been 'dropped' who havent spoken out - its a persistent pattern of behaviour.

Why have this highly litigious pair not taken these publications to court for defamation and slander?

You can't sue if it's the truth.

Yes - I agree that for the actual RF, the information we get is dull - but in a good way. It's worthy and wholesome and is quite rightly focused more on the people and causes they are supporting or visiting than the individual royals. It's not sensational, thank God, like most of the soap-opera stuff which is reported about Meghan and Harry. The RF is supposed to be a bit dull - and certainly not sensational or controversial. Unfortunately the likes of Fergie in the past and Andrew recently (as well as M & H) have brought sensation into the institution.

I don't think the British royal family wants to be interesting in the way that M & H are, or that the Monaco royals were in the past when Princess Stephanie was sowing her wild oats, or Caroline was suffering her marriage problems.

Meghan's problem is that she needs to be in the news to keep afloat, both financially and narcissistically. She would wither away without attention. And because things haven't gone well for them, she's reduced to doing some pretty crass (the faux philanthropy and tragedy tourism with film crews) and trivial (her lifestyle show) to keep our attention.

But for me, it's a) a bit of fun following her. What WILL she get up to next? And b) interesting to see how her narcissism plays out. Will her spiteful manipulation in the past come to bite her hard on the bum? It's fascinating on many levels, both fluffy and more serious.

Should add, to be fair, that I do realise this isn't the kind of coverage that Meghan and Harry want - but they've made their bed - distancing from the RF proper, and rubbishing them too - and now they'll have to lie on it. Also - despite their claims and their virtue-signalling words, can they show any concrete evidence of their good works? Money donated, initiatives supervised properly long-term once started and the publicity splash is over? I'm not so sure, but perhaps someone else can provide evidence. Harry's negligence and apparent abandonment of African Parks once the scandal was exposed is a case in point.

What have they done to follow through with their Nigerian and Colombian visits? Or were they, as was suspected, just all a publicity stunt for their benefit?

They need to work harder and for longer at the dull, worthy stuff and do less of the attention-seeking fluffy stuff if they want to earn respect long-term. If they were more boring, earnest and worthy then the press would get bored and leave them alone AND we'd all have to acknowledge them as serious people.

I agree with both your posts @CoffeeCantata 👏

I remember Princess Anne pointing this out in an interview she did - possibly for her 70th birthday. She said something like, "No one wants to listen to the old fuddy-duddy at the back saying 'Don't forget the basics.'" Also, "Don't try to re-invent the wheel."
Plus, I'm pretty sure she watched/waited/learned for years with Save the Children (or similar) before she started giving speeches.

You know what? I was having a conversation with someone about this days ago. Meghan and Harry clearly want to brand themselves as these big philanthropists but it's not landing.

It's interesting how so many of her supporters keep bashing Kate, saying that what Kate does is meaningless, that they only show up to a few charities, not realising that Meghan is doing the exact same.

With Kate, most people focus on her clothes. She visits a few charities from time to time. Her work on ECE gets highlighted fron time to time. I hear more about William's work with Invictus amd Homewards (which recently launched a £63 million partnership with Lloyds Banking Group a few days ago).

Harry has Invictus. I respect the work he's done. This is clearly his legacy. But with Meghan, I'm pretty sure 90% of people couldn't really name a cause Meghan support without searching online.

Her and Harry go on these faux royal tours around the world but we never hear anything about causes they're trying to promote. If anything, I hear and see more about Meghan's outfits than anything else.

She's now basically an influencer
