Just been released.

Lots of black and white footage.

Kisses, laughter, tears.

We don’t have Netflix, so shan’t be watching it.

Granygravy, I know. I saw it. The press is horrible to any woman who marries into the Royal family. Meghan had the added racism on top of it.

Not just those who married in
Princess Margaret had some very shocking press.
Somehow she and her ex-husband managed to bring up two children who seem well-balanced and who avoid publicity.

Yeah I'll give it a go volver, fiction is the portrayal of people, places and events that don't exist in the real world.

Braveheart?

That TV series about the Salisbury Poisonings?

SAS Rogue Heroes?

He didn’t look or talk like Mel Gibson, that’s for sure 😂😂😂😂

I knew there’d be more.

In fact most of the press “harassment” seems to be about someone else.

Presumably they had to borrow other people’s because there just wasn’t enough harassment of their own to fill the screen.🙄

So who was in the car with them taking photos of them looking out? Must have been very cramped in the back with all the photograhic gear!

I forgot about how awful the press was to PM calliste.

I can’t believe there is more of this drivel to come. I watched the Oprah interview. It wasn’t nearly as shocking as the media suggested it would be. The second trailer is suggesting this is about hate and race. Sorry? I’m looking at our very respected Prince and Princess of Wales and thinking this just cannot be about them? William had Diana as a mother who was not prejudiced about anything. Catherine has worked hard and diligently ever since she took on the role and never let us down. What on earth can H and M be moaning about this time?

I reckon they took a whole crew with them.

All crowded into a minibus, singing 10 green bottles...

And more borrowed 😉 photos.

I don't recall the press being beastly to Princess Alexandra, Katherine Worsley or the Queen Mother. There was a certain amount of deference even to the ruder ones, such as Princess Margaret and Princess Anne.
It was Diana who broke that in her fatal pursuit of publicity, and Harry is following her path. A dangerously stupid man completely lacking in judgement.

I can’t help thinking that’s only the case due to the passage of time and the change in media behaviour. Anybody is fair game now - in fact the media take pleasure in downing people they have built up. The sympathetic hearing Meghan and Harry are receiving in America isn’t going to last, and whether they are telling the truth or not they will very soon be yesterday’s news, I hope they are mentally equipped to deal with that.

Smileless2012 Mon 05-Dec-22 19:09:13

Well volver Braveheart was factional, a mixture of fact and fiction, and although I haven't seen it maybe the Salisbury Poisoning series was too.

No idea about SAS Rogue Heroes and not sure what any of this has to do with what constitutes fiction volver.

Yes, it has got worse.

But I'm old enough to remember Margaret and Townsend, Peter Sellers (just good friends) Margaret and Robin Douglas-Home, Antony Armstrong-Jones (reader, she married him), Margaret and Roddy etc.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

I do hope this doesn't backfire on Meghan and Harry.

Me too. Although Harry is ex-Army, I do think he is fragile.

That's the point Smileless2012.

SAS Rogue Heroes was very good, I thought. It's on iPlayer. Real people, some still alive I think, basically true but with "poetic licence". Remind you of anything?

Smileless2012 Mon 05-Dec-22 19:39:53

Poetic licence is departing from the facts to create an effect, so why would Netflix and H & M choose to do so?

If their treatment from the press and the media is so awful, why not present it as is, why the need to create an effect? When accusing the RF for example of racism and the press of hounding them, those accusations shouldn't be basically true, or H & M's truth, they should quite simply be true.

I've never had the need to embellish the truth, and don't see the need for anyone else to do so either, especially when the aim is to publicly discredit and humiliate the RF.

We're talking about The Crown... confused

Smileless2012 Mon 05-Dec-22 19:44:40

You may be talking about the Crown, but I'm talking about the accusations made against H's family and photographs supposedly proving how H & M are hounded by the press which had nothing at all to do with them.

MissAdventure Mon 05-Dec-22 19:46:38

And I don't know what I'm talking about. I just like the sound of my own voice, sometimes. smile

Fair enough. But we are talking about The Crown....

No idea volver maybe when you've worked that out you could enlighten me.
