You have to say this for Meghan Markle, she’s resourceful. Who would have thought of that as a money making opportunity?

Ohpleeeease · 05/01/2026 13:34

Harry does have a right to know what happened but that doesn’t mean he has a right to the documents. And If anyone has them surely it would be William as the elder son?

MrsLeonFarrell · 05/01/2026 13:43

That's a weird one, did she actually include any original recipes in the series?

Well if this is true, I’m not sure Harry is entitled to see these files, they belong to Frances government and have apparently already been subject to the same security lockdown as our sensitive documents.
don’t forget at the time these details were shared with our government, there are probably copies of the investigation squirreled away in the U.K. , if Harry isn’t allowed to abscond with those for personal gain, then I seriously doubt the French government would let him have the originals.

Nope! , I’m assuming this will be another example of her slapping her name on the work of others , failing to credit them and taking the glory!

Legally would Harry be able to publicise the content without William's permission?

How can the general public be expected to produce a rainbow of cut up fruit without "royal" instructions?

Ohpleeeease · 05/01/2026 13:47

To be fair, many recipes are just iterations of other people’s work. I don’t think it matters that they aren’t original, as long as she credits the originator where she can.
Not holding my breath.

I think it might be an area where William would act legally. He has always stepped in to protect Catherine from intrusion and I bet he would do the same for Diana.

Legally I don’t believe Harry would be allowed to publish the content without the permission of the French government, never mind William.

Personally I see this as another example of Harry not quite understanding his place in the scheme of things!
as the son of the king of the U.K. , he may have some standing, even in countries where his father is head of state but and this is a big but …his standing in other countries is zero .

I increasingly side-eye KC3 the enabler.

KC3 needs to hand the entire situation with H over to the men-in-grey and task them to bring this errant fool of a Duke to heel using whatever measures the men-in-grey deem necessary, before H creates a diplomatic crisis too big for KC3 to contain.

France, which chopped off Marie Antinette's head would give a former spare turned 5th in line very short shrift. A public spat with France over Diana records when the UK needs to get more French help to contain the small boat migration is a nightmare scenario.

MrsLeonFarrell · 05/01/2026 14:11

But what can the King actually do, or the men in grey? We don't live in an absolute monarchy and neither does Harry. This is why I don't agree with those who think Charles is still giving them money. It is pretty clear that he has no leverage on Harry at all. At this point never explaining or complaining is the best strategy. Just let Harry show who he is and let the consequences fall on him alone.

ShamedBySiri · 05/01/2026 14:19

I wonder if the clip of M putting her feet up as she was driven past the Pont de l’Alma was a hint at her little plan. She’s such a schemer.

Harry can’t “authentically” tell Diana’s story as he has few memories of her, as he has said. And being so young would hardly have been party to most information.

If this is true I am even more disgusted than I thought I could be with the pair of them. Truly plumbing the depths.

I sometimes wonder if M has literally bewitched Harry, she has such a hold on him, he just rolls over and agrees to things he once swore would never happen.

However I trust William to pull out the big guns and put a stop to this. Without the dossier I think the documentary will be thin pickings with William vetoing all pictures etc of him and no one who wants to keep in with William will cooperate.

Dancing on his mother’s grave and profiting from her death. Poor William, he really doesn’t need this even if it is just a matter of setting his legal attack dogs loose and letting them get on with it. And paying the bills. 🙄

As much as one can try to put things out of one’s mind and get on with the business of enjoying life and family it must gnaw away and pop up in one’s thoughts unasked every so often to send the blood pressure spiralling. I can feel my BP going up at the thought of it and it’s not my mother and brother!

ThePoshUns · 05/01/2026 14:29

If true they are a pair of parasites, hoping to profit from his mother's death.

ThePoshUns · 05/01/2026 14:35

As a Nigerian does MM have anything to say in the terrorist attack in Nigeria today, over 40 killed and many more kidnapped?

The King has sufficient leverage over H...presence and inheritance.

Take the meeting last year in September. As a father he wanted to but as the King he should not have rewarded H's bad behavior and breathed oxygen into H's failed brand by allowing the meeting without any public apology from H to the institution of the monarchy. H then used that meeting to imply in PR that H's subsequent grifters getaways had a level of endorsement from the Crown and the UK government...i.e. pretending the HIHO model was somehow active.

The King can update his will for H to have an inheritance of one pound with nothing for the grandchildren. He can have H understand that a minimum period of 5 years of impeccable behavior is required before any updates to KC3's will occur. And if KC3 shuffles off the mortal coil in the meantime...well H can plead with his big brother.

Indulging H will not only harm H in the long run but potentially also his kids as some of those impacted by H's reckless antics may wait until KC3 is no longer around to exact revenge on H.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 05/01/2026 15:15

What consequences has fallen on him so far? As far as I can tell absolutely zero, in fact I would say his behaviour has been rewarded as per @My2cents1975 post. King Charles and the men in grey not being able to do anything really doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

Ohpleeeease · 05/01/2026 15:28

The trouble is, legacy.

KC3 might be willing to cut H off in life, but in death he won’t want to be remembered for doing so.

I’m sure generous provision will be made for Harry’s family, doubtful though how many other legacies they will be able to count on.

JSMill · 05/01/2026 15:48

I think the King shouldn’t have agreed to see H after that inflammatory interview with the BBC. It’s practically rewarding bad behaviour.
As for the Diana documentary, I have no words to describe H and M if they are planning to make one. Speaking more generally, I think the subject of Diana has been done to death. I wouldn’t watch another one even if W himself made one. I don’t think I am alone in that feeling.

Say the King did cut off any inheritance, I can't see how that would help the situation at all. Silence is really the best policy because it doesn't feed any of the narratives. I don't think having tea did anything to change anything.

I agree, contemporaries have seen it all before and younger people aren’t interested. If they could stitch together some of the more candid interviews and footage of Diana that’s around that might attract more interest, but the narrative of her life and death is old news.
