Just been released.

Lots of black and white footage.

Kisses, laughter, tears.

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

Even more bitching about people you don't know.

Yup. 🙄🙄🙄

Callistemon21 Sun 11-Dec-22 16:50:40

Um - let he or she who is without sin cast the first stone.

And don't ruin other people's happiness if you can't find your own

Callistemon21 Sun 11-Dec-22 17:47:52

I think they're happy doing what they do.

Alioop Sun 11-Dec-22 18:08:18

They never look it really, especially in clips I've seen lately. 'Woe is me' comes to mind. A lot of people have no heat or food, now that's something to really worry about.

If we all stopped talking about them they’d be stuffed ( and a tad disappointed 😥)
They might have to resort to flogging some family silver.
My comments are based on the fact that I don’t like false people.

A couple of claims have been refuted. H's private secretary gave M a 30 page dossier explaining what her role etc would be, together with names of those she could contact for further information.

She was not advised not to invite her niece, the opposite appears to be the case as there were concerns about the lack of M's family invited to the wedding.

Yup, the lies are endless. We are not simply 'bitching about people we don't know' but commenting on the fallout from this series. People are popping up all over the place saying their claims are outright LIES. I think we have a right to express an opinion on that without being reprimanded.

Oh! Did they say she was just given a 30 page dossier to read? hmm
She was appointed several staff members of her own who spent months guiding her - an induction course with advisers.

Smileless2012 Mon 12-Dec-22 10:59:05

Oh no Callistemon M said she wasn't given any advice, support or information which is why the 30 page dossier has been mentioned, along with as you say staff who were appointed whose sole responsibility was to give her as much support and advice as possible.

It's a big whopper. 🙂

Yes, another one and they're not even any good at it are they as their lies are so easily debunked.

eazybee Mon 12-Dec-22 14:53:02

They don't care about the lies they propagate secure in the knowledge that the royal family won't retaliate, certainly won't sue, and there are enough sycophants about to blame it all on the media.
Their aim is to cause as much distress as possible to Charles and William as they adjust to their new roles as King and Prince of Wales, in the hope of provoking an explosive reaction then Meghan can have the catfight she yearns for. There is no way back for them, and no use in appealing to their better nature, because they simply don't have one.

Chestnut Mon 12-Dec-22 15:52:42

There is more to come and I'm really not sure they can ignore all this. Maybe they will go to court, there are plenty of people willing to say they are lying about all sorts of things. Or have they been really cunning and not named anyone? I'm sure they and Netflix would have consulted their legal team beforehand.

Alioop Mon 12-Dec-22 16:02:19

Some don't think it's right to talk about people we don't know, but I feel as if I know more about them than I do about some of my own family. For a couple who wanted a new life, not to be hounded by the press, etc they are doing enough to keep themselves in the limelight.
easybee well said 👏

This "documentary" gives the H & M side of the story.

We all know they seek publicity, although they claim to abhor it.

I wonder if they will be willing to be interviewed by an impartial journalist and challenged on the veracity of their claims.

The RF may not want to engagew, but so many othjers who have foirst hav

varian Mon 12-Dec-22 19:28:28

So many others who do have first hand knowledge of Meghan's time in the palace have challenged their version of events. Would they be willing to respond to these challenges?

Smileless2012 Mon 12-Dec-22 19:34:52

They may not be able too if employed by the RF varian. Their truth is being challenged but the sources are unnamed, and it's not as if H & M have actually named those they've accused of racism etc. In fact I can't remember seeing anything that unquestioningly substantiates any of their claims.

The latest trailer is featuring the speech by the young Queen Elizabeth at the start of her reign about how she will devote her life to service of all the people of the commonwealth. They have massively edited it and taken out all the bits about her "devotion to service" making her sound like an out and out racist.shock

Smileless2012 Tue 13-Dec-22 09:08:31

hmm so if the RF is institutionally racist, why the need to edit the late Queen's speech at the beginning of her reign to make it appear that she was a racist?

It's unbelievable that anyone could possibly believe anything they say.

eazybee Tue 13-Dec-22 09:37:31

This is all getting to be extremely nasty, isn't it?

Joseanne Tue 13-Dec-22 09:41:28

For what it's worth I think the RF git off quite lightly in the first 3 episodes. I do however hope Harry hasn't allowed things to run away with him in the next three which will concentrate more on the rift in the family. That would be very sad to watch.

Joseanne Tue 13-Dec-22 09:41:46

Oops *got off!

Smileless2012 Tue 13-Dec-22 09:43:47

Yes it is eazybee but not surprising though. The wheels do seem to coming off though with the latest outrageous claims.

Security being pulled before they left the UK and were still working royals. The caption under a picture of Buckingham Palace being changed from 'they told lies to protect my brother' to 'the media told lies to protect my brother'.

The obvious implication of the first being that the palace/RF had told lies maybe seen as a step too far, but any damage will have been done despite the change.

Smileless2012 Tue 13-Dec-22 09:45:28

From what I've seen about the trailer Joseanne that's precisely what H's donesad.
