Harry & Meghan biography

I can see Harry being side lined bit by bit as Meghan's profile continues to rise. He has served his purpose. He has no real talent other than his sincerity where his former charities are concerned. He will always be in Meghan's shadow now. You could see that coming in South Africa where she made all the key speeches and he stood in the background.

Yes, the birthday video was all about her. Poor Harry was just behind the scenes, acting as cameraman.

I agree with you merlot and Calendargirl. I just wish the press would stop reporting on them, then they could have the ‘privacy’ they said they craved.
I thought the video of Meghan reading to baby Archie was cringe worthy. The baby wasn’t remotely engaged with her or the book.

You’re right maddyone - it was toe curling awful.

He is still useful to her.

It must upset Charles and William. Charles spent time with
The Duke of Windsor in his last years , does he think of the
sadness of The Duke’s life and fear the same lies ahead for his
son.

Re Archie's birthday video, it seemed to me that Meghan was auditioning for future voice-overs. None of it was about the baby or what he wanted to do - he tried to pick up another book but she wasn't having it.

She may have rehearsed her lines for that book , it was all so
word perfect

It may have been word perfect Annie but the delivery was awful. She was unable to hold the baby’s interest and unwilling to accept that he wanted to look at a different book. It was as unnatural an interaction between a mother and her baby as I have ever seen.

I thought babies that age tried to put everything into their mouths - including books.

I agree maddy it was so - it has to be this book , just the perfect book for a 1 year old, not

The book was given to him by Oprah who apparently gives a 'standard gift' to 'people she cares about' and was shared on the Instagram account for Save the Children. There is even a charity appeal attached to it.

So, rather than just a charming clip of Archie having a story read to him it's a stage managed appearance designed to promote the Sussex's endeavours not to mention Oprah's largesse.

If Harry is trying to prevent his son from being exploited he's going a funny way about it.

I think Harry is the sort of person who needs structure in his life and the Royal family and his engagements provided that. She has obviously not been happy and I can imagine, behind the scenes, she gave him hell. I read that the Queen was aware of problems in the marriage.

He has looked miserable for some time and I think at this stage will do anything to protect his marriage and to try and keep her happy.

However, I do not think that will last and eventually he will be back.

It’s actually all very sad isn’t it?

I thought one of the worst things was when he was overheard pitching for a voice-over role for Meghan when they went to the premier of The Lion King. Where was his pride and dignity? The producer he was speaking to looked completely surprised and taken aback when Harry started begging for work for her.

That was another cringe worthy moment, excruciatingly embarrassing. I felt embarrassed for him when I saw the clip.

I, too, thought the ‘ storytelling’ video was one of the most fake things I’ve seen. The baby wasn’t at all engaged with either his mother or the book, and she didn’t look comfortable either. I’m sure they could have taken some film of them playing with another ‘favourite’ toy.

It looked rather forced. Like only that book would do. There must have been a reason for it.

The book was a gift from Oprah Winfrey !

I agree that this book looked really forced.

I read in the Star yesterday that Harry isn't too happy in L.A. ?
A complete culture shock in the difference in the way of life.

He really has been manipulated and coerced and will realise this when it's too late. What a life !

How can someone dislike the " spotlight " ( paps ) in one country yet court them in another ? Meghan is one of those people that you'd avoid like the plague----well I would !
Very sad when someone feels that they have to be the centre of attention ! A shallow person.

He is now detached from his family, his military friends, family friends, his favourite sports, what does he do all day
everyday

I read online this morning that Meghan wants their book released now. "A source" says she wants people to read that she was not a diva .... so presumably this means that she will slag off the RF and everyone she had dealings with to make her case.

Lady Colin Campbell has a book out next month about Harry and Meghan. I wonder if that is why there is such urgency ?
It’s bound to be packed full of scurrilous gossip, and Lady C doesn’t like her one bit.

I will read Lady Colin Campell’s book, it will be interesting
