liquiddiamonds Posted December 5, 2022 Posted December 5, 2022 I dont think some of y’all read Megan’s interview - the one she was dragged for because of the Mandela comments - but she was developing a creative project for Netflix that was shelved. Harry and Meghan signed lucrative multimillion contracts with big companies, but they all want ONLY the tabloid-ish tea from the Royals. They’re kinda stuck in this position, and with Harry’s book coming up soon looks like they’ll be there for a while. Meghan’s Spotify podcast is the closest she has gotten to developing something that doesn’t involve the royals directly. We’re yet to see how these deals will move onwards once they have served (probably stale) british tea. now that the ex-queen is dead I highly doubt anything truly scalding might be coming up (unless the on-going online rumors are true and Meghan is divorcing Harry)
MonsterJohn Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 Yeah that family deserves that fame hungry couple who sell them out for money. Both sides are terrible
iaintiffin Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 Harry is such a dumbass with the hierarchy talk
ugo Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 People complaining bout them milking and exploiting the situation when the Royal family milked their colonies for centuries. They have to make money I guess.

Zack Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 5 hours ago, ugo said: Yeah it's how they make money and it still more ethical than how The Royal Family made money over the years. Well it's not. Because they are still using Royal titles, so technically, anything they are doing now is still under the umbrella of the Royal Family. So the "ethics" argument doesn't come into it. As long as they are a Duke and Duchess and Harry is a British Prince, they are still part of the same exploitative system that you are complaining about. Their titles are grounded in centuries of (unearned) privilege. That's why this whole thing is so ridiculous and hypocritical. If they had dropped their Royal titles, then maybe a discussion on ethics might make more sense.

You are using a title from a family that believes in BIRTH RIGHT PRIVILEGES and you are surprised they are racist? I don't believe that we should be in awe of the royal family and give them special treatment so I don't care if Meghan doesn't receive the same special treatment. My problem with her is she believes in consistency in a BAD way. Instead of believing nobody in the royal family should get special treatment, she believes EVERYONE (including her) is entitled to it.
Marla Singer Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 The way the UK media are reacting, you would think they filmed themselves dancing and pissing on the Queen's grave for the entire 2-3 hours. The hold that M3GHAN has over them is insane.
publikcitizen Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 this has been a really interesting documentary so far. i'm looking forward to the rest of the episodes. i had no idea about meghan's relationship with her niece. i'm glad they are still close despite everything that happened with samantha markle.
X~MoviePoP Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 Great documentary...they always try and villify meghan smh

Da Vinci Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 Unfortunately I think the marketing and trailer for this doc was too sensational and off-putting and clickbait-y much like the Oprah interview But everyone who ever supported Meghan should give it a chance The royal family really fumbled the bag with Meghan, in a perfect non-racist world, she would've SLAYED her role, she was almost a perfect and qualified candidate for the role Her achievements and successes particularly with the humanitarianism are highly overlooked, even I forgot all about them after she got married
publikcitizen Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 watching this just make me want the monarchy to be abolished even more. it's so ridiculous they're still around.
ShouldersSideways Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 I've went back and forth on how I feel about everyone in this situation, but this documentary so far is pretty good and informative. I still question how genuine they are at certain moments but you have to ask yourself if you could be fully genuine with cameras on you at all times.

We know what happened already. On 12/5/2022 at 3:07 PM, BnPac said: I think the Oprah's interview was enough already. They shouldn't keep talking about those people and just move forward. On 12/5/2022 at 3:16 PM, Valentine said: I was on their side initially but this doc is totally unnecessary. Move on On 12/5/2022 at 3:17 PM, Feanor said: They're really milking this And the fact that Harry's memoir is also yet to come... I agree with the post above that they should've stopped with the Oprah interview. Guys they need the money. Harry signed deals with Netflix and Spotify after they exited the royal family hence Megan’s podcast and i guess this doc is the deliverable for Netflix. His mother left him millions though so hopefully he finds a more palatable means to generate sustainable income in future. Even the liberal hosts of The View called them out for this but they agreed to this years ago so i suppose its not as simple as reading the room and shelving the doc.
mxoonlight Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 I really liked it It was cool getting to see more of their personalities. Meghan saying she did a Medieval Times-esque courtsey when she first met the queen
Hector Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 Very riveting & informative docuseries. Loved how they touched upon the UK's disgusting history with slavery & the commonwealth which makes the racism present in the British society today even more appalling. Especially among the royal family & the royalists. I also hated how Meghan's niece wasn't invited because of her trash biological mother and the father staged those paparazzi pictures before the wedding. Learning about Meghan's relationship with her niece was refreshing to see.

Just look at her shock and confusion about curtsying to the Queen. Harry would have been better to choose someone more familiar with British life, not an actress and celebrity activist.
