Good for Charles! I'm glad he finally got to be with the woman he loves and they seem to have a strong and stable marriage, he deserves to be happy as much as anyone else. I'd like to think Diana would have found a much better match for herself too.

I took it as a joke he was finally king, since he was the longest reigning POW.
That is their XMas card picture tho. It was supposedly taken 5 days before he became king. King? Am I supposed to capitalize it? Anyway, I like it a lot. The Wales just released theirs too, all walking in a line. I like it a lot as well.

Even though Diana has well documented affairs (that she admitted to) while she was married as well. I know they've always done their Christmas cards like that, and I like seeing a new photo especially W&C & the kids. But I rather have them do a special festive one, around a tree, or in the snow, or wearing Christmas clothes. etc. I think those would be fun, especially when there's still young children in their families. Charles & Camilla at least have christmasy colours on.

It's funny, I used to think Diana could do no wrong either, but the more I read about her, or the movies/shows that come out, the more I see she too manipulated things, she wasn't 100% innocent. I guess some people can't or don't want to think of her ever doing anything wrong. To be honest, it's how I look at any of the royals - at the end of the day, they are human as well and no one is perfect. As for the Xmas cards - I agree! I would LOVE to see a more holiday-centric pictures on a card! But it sounds like they usually have the picture taken in the summer or fall.

gillyp not sure if you are saying H&M are a scam or the low count poster right before you, but the new member did participate on a couple of threads earlier, and one saying they were new here...

It was in relation to the new poster who has already posted two links, one appearing to be for viagra online. Nope, I’ve not clicked, it clearly says so.

Did anyone watch the 2nd set of 3 episodes that came out yesterday? reports are showing it is much heavier/more serious. I've seen clips here and there. Still not enough to entice me to watch tho.

They are causing all sorts of shit - they certainly lulled some into a false sense of security with the first 3 episodes. I haven't watched any nor will I.

The real card in case anyone is wondering... I sent them a Christmas card but haven't gotten one back yet. I really hope I do though.

I haven't watched any on Netflix yet...though I have seen plenty of clips online. Up thread I mentioned I wouldn't watch it unless I was snowed in...and well crap. It's snowing right now. But I still have enough other crap to do and watch to hopefully not let the FOMO of not seeing it lure me in.

I tried watching the second set, but they are so damn boring. It’s like watching someone else’s vacation film. We’ve heard all this stuff before.

I watched and there’s nothing particularly new that made me take more notice. I expected the pair of them to be quite vitriolic and, although Harry clearly has it in for William, it could have have been a lot worse.
I don’t know who deserves the Oscar nomination more though. It was highly convenient that William’s text to Harry came in at the exact time they were filming Meghan chatting to Tyler Perry and I’m afraid her assertion that a member of the crew on their “flight to freedom” knelt beside her, took off his cap and thanked her for her service sounds totally ludicrous.
It was nice seeing the children. The house was beautiful but it’s not theirs, it was one that was on the market and they used it for filming, apparently.
I guess what irks me is the constant whining about the paps trying to get photos and I understand that must be frightening but had they stayed in the UK they would have been protected from a lot of that. These last 3 episodes seemed to show them with paps after them in the US.

I'm watching the second set now and I find it interesting.
I don't know where the truth lies, but I'm guessing somewhere in the middle.
I'm a royal watcher so I'm interested in this.

I just wish they would be quiet and quit complaining for goodness sake. And I wish them every happiness. ALSO, does she think we are all idiots? In addition to all the lies/contradictions, she said she was surprised to see all the public out when she arrived at the church for her wedding. REALLY? ?? I think she would have whined if nobody showed up... SMH.

she said she was surprised to see all the public All she had to do was google Charles and Diana's wedding or Kate and William's wedding. Surely she is not and was not that naive.

I cannot imagine that in none of her wedding day preparations the crowds never got brought up. Not with security. Not with the timeline of when to leave for the Church. Or when planning her vehicle that she would arrive in. Not in planning her entrance to the Church? In none of the planning, it never came up? Ever, never? Bullshit.

Yes my sentiments exactly. And I’m not a Megan hater (or lover) but didn’t like this whole mocking tone. Now see, absent context, I actually see that as making fun of herself. Admittedly, that's not really something she does, but still, that's what it looks like to me. Of course, as I said, it is utterly out of context so I don't know. I watched the program, not just the clip. She was making fun of herself.

How is calling meeting the Queen something out of medival times dinner theater making fun of herself?

I think that it’s very telling that Megan got more bad press then Prince Andrew . Says who? Did you count? Someone did: 62,500 stories about him since 2012I personally saw a lot of bad press for him, especially after that interview. What's telling is that despite the obvious shit he's in he didn't make the mistake of doing more interviews or writing a book and regularly stirring it all up again. Meghan gets ongoing press (good and bad) because she can't stop talking about herself. What's also very telling is both Meghan and Harry have been completely silent about Andrew - everyone else in the RF are problematic according to them, but Uncle Andrew gets a big fat pass from those two. That curtsy story Meghan keeps telling, where she met the Queen for the first time...that lunch was at Royal Lodge - which is Prince Andrew's home.

I do wonder if they are being quiet about Andrew because they don’t want to remind people that Meghan was allegedly a yacht girl on boats that Andrew would be on?

They weren't quiet about Andrew when it was current, when there were development in the story etc.
