Is this the best outcome?

Deepak Chopra, Meghan's "Spiritual Guru" is reported as saying that there is too much drama around H&M, although he didn't expand on why that could be. confused He did helpfully suggest that people should mind their own business. That's a clearly good idea and I rather think that would be easily done too, by not watching Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah, well unfortunately that ship sailed a while ago when we didn't know we were expected to mind our own business as far as they were concerned, but now we do, that could still be achieved by not watching their Neflix production or buying and reading Spare, plugging ears and covering eyes when the omnipresent Omid Scobie makes one of his frequent pronouncements on their ongoing thoughts about anything and everything which can be sooooo vexing when trying to mind one's own business.

I saw that TerriBull and his suggestion that people mind their own business did make me laugh, as H in particular has made not just his, but his families business everyone's business by making it all publicgrin.

Could someone explain how Chopra is Meghan's "guru" please?

As far as I can see he appeared in a podcast once.

It couldn't be that somebody's making stuff up about them, could it?

By making it all public and so widely publicised with books, tv appearances etc it has become everyone else’s business as never a day goes by when he’s not doing an interview, a pap walk, a bought award ceremony, moaning about his privileged life etc etc. Nobody knew just how awful he was but now we do. I will be glad when the coronation is over but he won’t disappear as he has so many court cases coming up. It’s never ending.

The world has always wanted to know Harry had a frostbitten penis and such a shock - William has been circumcised

Smileless2012 Thu 13-Apr-23 14:05:52

He claims to be her spiritual guru volver.

volver3 Thu 13-Apr-23 14:07:52

Does he?

Where's that then?

Binglebee Thu 13-Apr-23 14:10:44

Bit slow on the names volva?

volver3 Thu 13-Apr-23 14:13:03

Not as slow as you, it would seem.

VioletSky Thu 13-Apr-23 14:18:51

What is happening?

This is why we can't have nice things

TerriBull Thu 13-Apr-23 14:25:54

Nottingham Post says so! and Marie Claire,, so make of that what you will! and some lesser known publication, let me think, oh yes that would be the Daily Mail! so must be true

Whether he is their spiritual guru or not, he has collaborated with them in making podcasts and with that in mind, I think many of us would welcome a future podcast on say "how to mind our own business as far as M&H are concerned when our head space is invaded by their ongoing output of minutia about their lives and grievances" It's all so reminiscent of something I saw recently, trying to remember oh yes it was "Waagh - Don't look at us we want our privacy!"

Forsythia Thu 13-Apr-23 14:28:21

His mental health guru who diagnosed him live on TV with ADD has now come out and said he didn’t say it and yet he is recorded saying it in the interview. I think these people live in a world of their own where truth is somewhat flexible!

volver3 Thu 13-Apr-23 14:32:35

He was in a podcast (singular).

Adele was in one too. Is she her "singing guru"?

You really can't all see how you are being manipulated, can you? Or you don't care.

Forsythia Thu 13-Apr-23 14:33:41

Nobody is being manipulated Volver. These people are giving interviews themselves and saying these things.

volver3 Thu 13-Apr-23 14:35:35

Oh yes, their "spiritual guru" who has only met them once.

Fair enough.

nadateturbe Thu 13-Apr-23 14:44:29

If I didn't get on with my inlaws, I would think the best solution would be for my husband to visit alone.

TerriBull Thu 13-Apr-23 14:55:02

Well you can never be sure how well they know anyone sometimes if the profile fits then why know them at all! George and Amal Clooney guests at "the wedding" asked how they knew H&M replied "we don't know them" so not even superficial acquaintances, but what they lacked in a meaningful friendship, they made up for in looking good in the picssmile

grandtanteJE65 Thu 13-Apr-23 14:57:24

Why is he bothering? I thought he and his wife had opted out of the Family firm?

Optics. To remain royal adjacent for their brand in America. $$$$$

Lexisgranny Thu 13-Apr-23 15:00:24

Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. Let us remember that this could be applied to the King - should he or shouldn’t he invite the Sussexes to the coronation and to the Sussexes, should they or shouldn’t they accept. I am trying to recall whether I have heard of any UK based royal birthday parties for the under 10s, if I have, or have forgotten, they must be as rare as hens teeth, although I have seen ones from the Sussexes. As has previously been mentioned, 4 year olds are hardly counting down the days on their calendars, and celebrating earlier or later is neither here nor there. How many ‘ordinary’ children celebrate their birthdays at the weekend? If it is true that they wanted Archie’s birthday to be acknowledged on Coronation day it is surely an indication of their naïveté.

Having said that, I think that Meghan has been given a very rough ride by the press, true she has brought a lot on herself, but no one deserves the vile comments that she has to endure.

However if the pair have a fault that they should be addressing, it is their bad memories, a lot of the criticism hurled at them is the result of ‘misremembering’ things that happened in the past. I imagine that Meghan rues the day when she joked during a filmed interview that she could cry at will.

In the end they are all just people living their lives their own way as best they can. I shall watch the coronation, it is part of our history, let us hope that there will be no glum faces or awkward silences to mar an important day, though royalist I am not,

Forsythia Thu 13-Apr-23 15:08:06

I am no fan of either but I think Meghan is not the driving force but she is the catalyst. I believe Harry is equally awful, if not more so. Meghan is a convenient scapegoat for his awful behaviour which, by all accounts, has been covered up for many years by the family. Now he is living in America we see him for who and what he is. And it’s not pleasant.

Shelflife Thu 13-Apr-23 15:11:50

Such a sad situation, devastating for the Royal Family. PH is a complex man , I do wonder why he is coming when he has made it clear he wants out of the family and the inevitable publicity. He has lost the affection of the public but I wish him, Meghan and their children peace.

mrsgreenfingers56 Thu 13-Apr-23 16:13:57

The Queen was a wise woman and said that Harry was so besotted with Megan it clouded his judgement. Without Megan not attending probably best for all. Aren't we all glad we are all Mrs. Nobody's and people not interested in us!

Dillonsgranma Thu 13-Apr-23 16:14:22

He’s not welcome. Surely he knows that? Has he really been in England since the court case he attended with Elton John etc? Have they split up ?

Sleepygran Thu 13-Apr-23 16:21:17

I absolutely agree with you!
