I tend to think they will do anything to stay in the spotlight. I can just see them on Dancing With the Stars someday. OMG this has me pretty much dying over here. I can totally see this! Megs can do a special number waving around a brief case! |

No. For a couple who left the RF because they wanted their privacy, why are they doing a tell all and exposing all of the stuff that they had wanted to stay private?  Attention whores. This is pretty much how I feel. If you want privacy and then turn around and splash your business all over the place then you really didn't want privacy in the first place.  |

Here is some of what I saw on IG comparing what Netflix used vs where the image came from: I can't believe anyone would try to bait and switch anything in these days of internet sleuths. There's no way to get away with it anymore and if someone thinks they can, they're a fool. |

Here is some of what I saw on IG comparing what Netflix used vs where the image came from: LOL, my point was we still don't have any context. People are bending over backwards to identify where the photos were taken without knowing how they are used in the documentary. AND, implying that Meghan and/or Harry were not hounded by the paparazzi. Honestly, what were they supposed to do? If they kept her on, they are *obviously* racists and that proves (in some peoples mind) that everything Meghan said was true. But since they let her go, it must prove she was racist to Meghan since she was the one to show her the ropes. They are in a no-win situation. I agree there was no choice in this no-win situation. But I sincerely doubt she would have been pressured to resign if the event didn't happen to someone high profile outside the RF, in a public situation with plenty of witnesses. I also believe it is possible she very honestly doesn't believe what she said was racist and was shocked to be called out for it. But that doesn't make it not racist. It also doesn't prove she said anything racist to Meghan, but it certainly shifts the "reasonable doubt" scale for some fence sitters. |

I visited several museums when in England and the curators were not impressed that most Americans were not in awe over their crowns, gems, diamonds and gold. The crown jewels in the Tower of London are beautiful but you have to go on a conveyor belt to get a glimpse at them. The British Museum is basically stuff that they took from other countries. Too funny!!!  Pay attention to us, but respect our privacy. We're oppressed. We're victims. Blah, blah, blah. I liked her at first, but what a narcissist. What I don't get is they fled racist ol' England and came HERE? To get away from racism? Do they read any newspapers? |

That is one of the places we did visit, but eons ago. No conveyor belt back then. In glassed in cases, and we were free to spend all the time we wanted wondering around. Its a shame crime as put a damper on things like that. |

my point was we still don't have any context. People are bending over backwards to identify where the photos were taken without knowing how they are used in the documentary. One photo they are using is of a wall of photographers from a Harry Potter film premiere. It's a premiere - so having that many photographers is not only expected, it's welcome in that scenario. That's the time when famous people WANT a wall of photographers (to promote a film) so it's never a negative thing. They weren't in Harry Potter, and even if they were those photographers at that specific event is a good thing. So no matter what that shot involves in their show, there's really nothing about it that will be in context, unless they are saying "wow look how great the press turn out was for one of those Harry Potter movies that happened 5 years before we even met" |

Obviously, I'll watch because I'll want to talk about it...and if you are going to have an opinion about something then you need to see it for yourself. My favourite line (sarcasm) already is Harry saying "there's a hierarchy in this family"  No shit Harry! How long has it taken you to come to this stunning insight about the Monarchy that you were born into? |

Apparently a couple scenes of papparazi that they are claiming were following Meghan were from other events that did not involve her. Yeah I read a clip about it and apparently some of the photos they are using in the promos are from when Harry was with Chelsea, and they just cropped her out of it. I also saw an article, written by an English reporter that's name I can't recall, that called out Meghan and Harry for not telling the truth about Paps chasing them when they were on their tour. I guess this reporter was among the 3 (handpicked and approved. by them) reporters that was assigned to cover their trip and he was with them throughout. Anyway, he claims he was there where a certain photo was shot that is used in the promos and calls BS on that it was pap chasing them. (Edited to add link to article I saw: pagesix.com/2022/12/05/prince-harry-meghan-markle-accused-of-faking-press-hounding/ ) No, I dont plan on watching it and short of a huge snowstorm coning to my house and making to where I can't leave and run out of other things to watch, I wont watch it. I will read about it / watch in the press though. I saw an interview on ABC this morning while getting ready for work. It was with a reporter who was among 3 hand picked reporters who point-blank said that the report that the paparazzi were chasing them on the events he covered were just patently untrue. I don’t know if it was the same reporter, but I’m guessing it probably was. If they want to truly live their lives in peace, as they claim, then I wish them well. But running to media outlets, publishing books, and releasing Netflix “documentaries” isn’t what people who truly want peace, quiet, and privacy in which to raise their families do, IMO. It all rings so hollow. |

I'm sick and tired of them both. IDK what they think they are doing trying to be so vengeful. Move the f on with your lives now. I won't be watching. This. It almost seems like they would have nothing to say if they weren't saying horrible things about Harry's family. And it's getting old. We get it. You were tortured. How many times do you need to say it? |

I likely will not watch. It's way too many hours to hold my interest. But I wouldn't mind the Cliff Notes version. Didn't there used to be some show called "We Watch so You Don't Have To?" That's what I want!

I just started season 2 of The Crown, so if I'm still interested in things royale when I get caught up, I might watch it. Not feeling it at the moment though

I just saw something on TikTok, a podcast she gave talking about how the first time Meghan and Harry hosted William and Catherine for dinner she describes herself as 'wearing ripped jeans and barefoot" all easy breezy making herself sound like she was some California casual beach girl.
She talks about how they were so formal and stiff and criticized them for acting that way even at her home during an intimate dinner where she was serving them in her dirty bare feet.
Girl. Come the F on. Does anyone buy this crap? I mean, even if it's true, why would you try and make then sound like unrelatable tight asses? Its this ish that pisses me off about her. In my world you don't talk mess about family. Not petty bs like this.

Between what's talked about in the news + a cliff note version, I will know enough without having to actually watch. Try out From Berkshire to Buckingham. It's the best I've found so far for getting the details without having to actually suffer through the shows. To get the most detailed information you will need to subscribe. It's $5/month and easy to start/stop a subscription. It's on Substack. Hope this helps. |

Had she MET upper class Brits? They’re not an easy, breezy bunch.
While hosting a dinner with the future king and queen, it would not occur to me to wear ripped jeans and bare feet. Let’s have a cookout and some wine coolers! Nope. Even in the colonies, some of us have standards .
