Duchess of Sussex the bullying has to stop.

It amazes me that such interest and emotion is stirred, by a couple whom most of us will never meet and have only very superficial knowledge of, mostly secondhand from often unreliable sources.

[yawn] We seem to be missing an emoji!!

With regards to the alleged fire, they had to go out to make another appearance, leaving Archie being looked after

Oh, that's a relief!
I thought for a moment they'd left him home alone

Those were my feelings, a heater in South Africa?
We are very often misled/ lied to.

I'm amazed nobody has suggested this before

We did try it once, Maw but didn't like it ?

I have a well developed sense of the absurd. What can I say? ??

Me too ! ?

One thing puzzled me about Meghan mentioning a heater causing a fire.

She says she was giving a speech outdoors at the time it happened and from the pictures showing that, her audience was wearing lightweight summer clothes as was she.

Why would a heater be switched on in such clement weather?

With regards to the alleged fire, they had to go out to make another appearance, leaving Archie being looked after. When George 6th died the much younger Elizabeth had to fly straight home and start being Queen. It's what goes with the job.

They are coming back Allsorts because of Netflix who pull all their strings for multiple dollars. They don't like the RF or the UK but they have no relevance/status in America without them.

I don’t know anyone that is interested. Afraid they are both very weird, why are they coming back? They don’t like it here they have said that enough, isn’t that why they went, nothings changed except their non position in their hierarchy . .I thought they were settled in America.

May be a bit out on the fringe here but how's about we get rid of the whole Royal Family thing when the queen dies. No more Charlie and Camilla (who were having an affair during his marriage to Diana), no more paedo Andy, no more William and Kate with their perfect marriage (although it has been said that he had an affair when she was pregnant), no more Harry and Meghan (love 'em or hate 'em we just can't stop talking about them).....in fact no more of any of them. Once they're non-royals they'll just become minor celebrities who flit in and out of the entertainment sections and women's magazines whilst the rest of us get on with our lives.

Meghan's podcast was listened to by millions of people across the globe, and quickly climbed to the top position in the US, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.
This was from the Times:
The Duchess of Sussex’s almost entirely preposterous new podcast Archetypes promises to “rip apart the boxes women have been placed into for generations”. On the evidence of the first episode — an interview with Serena Williams — it won’t really do this at all. The podcast is a tastefully soundtracked parade of banalities, absurdities and self-aggrandising Californian platitudes. The effect of all the tinkly music and vapid conversation is to make you feel you’ve been locked in the relaxation room of a wellness spa with an unusually self-involved yoga instructor.

I haven't heard the whole hour myself (I couldn't stand it) but the little bit I heard reminded me of giggly chats with my best friend when we were 14 years old. Trivial.

Harry won’t have to rub out spelling mistakes, because he won’t be writing it.

Do we honestly think Meghan will let Harry loose on a tell-all memoir?

Not likely, her hand will be on the (poison) pen.

OK. The media should stop commenting on their pronouncements or their podcasts, or even mentioning that they have made any. However, that would mean that Netflix won't think they were getting full value for their investment in the Sussexes, and might even mean that they drop them.

Which would the Sussexes prefer, to be the subject of media attention, not all of it complimentary, and as a result have Netflix courting them and paying to have them in its stable, or to be ignored by the media and lose the income that generates?

Silverlining
seriously, where does all this come from
Out of Meghans mouth. She said it on her podcast.
What I quoted, ie, Serena Williams can be heard on the podcast.

MissAdventure

I saw meghan called a two bit actress on here.
I'm not sure that was a commentary on anything much.
Then there is the fact that she touches her husbands back.
Disgraceful!

I remember the two bit actress comment, I hadn’t been on GN long and was seriously shocked

The date for publishing Harry’s ‘tell all’ memoir has been put back again.

Is this because he’s still rubbing out spelling mistakes or somebody has seriously miscalculated the Queen’s demise.?

Some of the above makes me think the Sussexes were wise to leave the UK. There are times - as a woman of mixed race - when would like to do the same.

I have a well developed sense of the absurd. What can I say? ??

‘Volver’. Never claimed to be, what a childish remark.

Nasty woman, coming here, marrying our Prince when Catherine had a perfectly acceptable sister that we would be glad to call a Duchess.

Parsley ???

Actually, I thought she was great.
Meghan, I mean.

Genuinely, where does this all come from.?
I am not a particular supporter of the royal family but there seems to be constant tittle tattle about what these two in particular say/do.
If it’s gossip does it matter?
If they are attention seekers then surely just ignore.

Volver,

Sorry it was indeed South Africa
