WATCHING ...Harry & Meghan Netflix

Please no more about the Cambridge children. Start another thread!

We were not briefed by the royal family’s press offices nor did anyone in and around the royal family leak information to us

We did not just make shit up nor hack into any phones/emails etc

Schrodinger’s media.

Nicely done by the Sussex’s PR and/or legal team.

Lol now people have joined the thread and think I said the thing

It wasn't me

I didn't say the thing

I just said the pile on needs to stop and that autistic people are great so it's not an insult

If you don't think it's a pile on just look at the fact people now think I said the thing and are just happily shouting at me about it lol

It's entertaining watching people go for approximately 30 seconds, then its very very boring

Apparently their lawyer has seen evidence that they were deliberately hung out to dry to protect other members of the RF, in particular William.

As she's a lawyer does anyone think that we'll actually get to see this evidence for ourselves?

The double standards here are breath-taking. (To coin a cliche)

Believe that H&M might just be telling the truth, and that such a truth would cause the RF to implode, and you're spouting bile and venom.

Accuse some woman none of us know of all kinds of misogynistic rubbish, and you're on the side of the angels because "they upset our dear queen".

And once again.... the RF are a family. By definition. The monarchy is a system of government. Individuals in a family can lose the respect of the nation without the system of government being changed.

But some of what they are saying can be shown to be untrue.

Indeed. I’m now very bored. 🥱🥱

But some of what they are saying can be shown to be untrue.

And some of it can't.

GagaJo The RF really should have harnessed the power of MMs interacial status. Would have done their public image (which is suffering under the accusations of racism) a power of good. Such a good resource wasted due to their refusal of any change

I see you're one of the people who believes the lies. The RF did try to help M integrate - she didn't want to. When Charles revokes the NDAs of the Palace staff members, they will be able to put the record straight according to the leaks thus far.

And you believe the RF. Neither one of us has any insider knowledge. I'm as likely to be right as you are. Although the real true is probably somewhere in the middle.

The unfavourable reception of the Cambridges in the Caribbean, Sophie and Edward's unwelcome greeting in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Princess Michael of Kent and the blackamoor brooch, Lady Hussey's racist harranguing of a guest at a reception. All of which could have been played down if there was a person of colour as a working royal.

But no. Comments about the baby's colour before it was born, refusing to challenge the press on the overt racism when it was insisted they leave Kate alone.

The RF are reaping what they've sowed. And those seeds go right back to slavery and the wealth they accumulated from it.

And some if can't no, some if it can't be shown to be true because there's no evidence. Will we get to see the evidence that their lawyer claims to have seen?

The wealth that both H & M have benefited from too GagaJo.

Yes, true enough.

I do believe that in the UK systems of law, you are innocent until proved guilty?

O, I hope so. For the embarrassment value alone...

I do believe that in the UK systems of law, you are innocent until proven guilty unless it seems, you're a member of the RF.

^I do believe that in the UK systems of law, you are innocent until proven guilty^ unless it seems, you're a member of the RF.

But given their position of power, they are able to suppress most things they want.

Remember all the Charles and Diana rumours? Turned out to be 100% true.

The UK system of law also requires evidence and hear say does not fall into that category.

Evidence that comments were made about the colour of Archie's skin before he was born. Evidence that the RF and the Palace refused to challenge overt racism in the press, which their lawyer claims to have seen.

As for comments made about Archie prior to his birth, perhaps not possible to prove, but naming the person alleged to have made such comments, would have gone some way to supporting this particular allegation.

But these aren't rumours GagaJo they're specific allegations made by H & M, and when some have already been disproved, it's difficult to believe the others.

GagaJo The unfavourable reception of the Cambridges in the Caribbean, Sophie and Edward's unwelcome greeting in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Princess Michael of Kent and the blackamoor brooch, Lady Hussey's racist harranguing of a guest at a reception.

What point are you trying to make here? Are you saying it should have been played down? Surely that would have been a cover-up and wrong? But it wasn't played down and we have all been able to make up our own minds.

Regarding someone querying the colour of the baby's skin - how do we know that ever happened? Ah, is it because it was said by a couple who have been proven to be liars countless times?

In my book if someone lies to me repeatedly, I don't trust them or believe anything else they say. This is the fate of liars - no one ever knows what little nugget of truth might be amongst the lies. It's their own fault if no one believes them.

There has been no evidence shown for any of the lies spouted by H&M - but we have all been able to judge for ourselves by what comes out of their own mouths. I see hatred and spite and anger and self-pity.

Meanwhile the world goes on turning - people at foodbanks, struggling to keep warm, tragedies with children falling through the ice, people drowning in the Channel, people have lost loved ones - yet these two clowns in Montecito keep on whining about their lot. They had the wedding they wanted, they had Frogmore Cottage made into what they wanted, they have been lucky enough to have the children they wanted, and now they have the life they wanted in California .... why are they still so angry and full of hate and misery?

I have watched all six episodes now. I think that H and M were treated appallingly by some of the press, that racism was part of that and that their lives were made extremely difficult.
I have no idea about palace briefings for or against and I don't suppose we will find out. Not enough evidence one way or the other to make a judgement.
I think they come across as extremely self-absorbed and pretty tone deaf at times (the remark about at least Covid means we can walk the dogs springs to mind).
I hope that they stop now and get on with their lives. Finding proper jobs might be a good idea.
It would be interesting to hear from others who have actually watched it.

So was the evidence their lawyer claims to have seen about palace briefings 'sacrificing' H & M in order to protect other members of the RF, and H did refer specifically to his brother in one of the clips, not shown Mamie?

If we saw it in black and white on screen then I missed it smileless.

As a neutral observer I’ve read what is on BBC and Sky, and it does strike me as a storm in a teacup as I thought with all the hype there would be some major revelations regarding the royal family, and there weren’t - it sounds lukewarm.
There hasn’t been focus on this thread about the role of the media in H&M’s departure, and what should happen as a consequence of that, if anything. I believe what they have said regarding the hounding and misrepresentation, and it is doubtless happening to others still- to it destroys peoples lives - that seems more important than the ‘I said, she said, he said’ stuff to me.

Why is it hard to believe that William can be overbearing and a bully? Someone raised in privilege, the knowledge that he is The Heir and will one day be king, is very likely to develop these traits.

Thanks Mamie.

It's hard to believe anything proven liars say Quokka.

Well Quokka I can't think that there are enough heirs in waiting to justify a scientifically based trial of your hypothesis?
I also don't really think "brothers shout at each other" is a particularly startling revelation is it?
