SeanF Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 2 hours ago, Free Northman Reborn said: The Royal Family’s best approach now is to not get into the gutter with these two twits. Utterly ignore them and as their association with the family grows ever more distant their relevance to the world will diminish correspondingly. Any interaction whatsoever will clearly be weaponized into future interview fodder by the fame hungry duo. Leave them be, as they have asked, make a clean and permanent break, and let the Royal family continue without them. Very sensible. I think there is limited sympathy for the plight of titled millionaires in the modern age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting if someone admits to be the one who asked the question. The idea that anyone in the royal family ever approaches any conversation in a sensitive manner would be utterly naive.I doubt anyone ever say anything except exactly what is on their mind. 2 hours ago, Free Northman Reborn said: The Royal Family’s best approach now is to not get into the gutter with these two twits.

While all this mud slinging has generated a lot of buzz right now, Meghan and Harry are going to run out of reaons for existing once they've run out of mud to sling. I'm sure they picture themselves as spokespeople for social justice around the world and thats how they want to push their careers, but I don't think that there is a ton of milage in that, especially if they continue to dent their own public opinion every time they speak.

Spockydog Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Members of a family who believe they have been directly chosen by God to rule over the rest of us 'untouchables' might be racist? Get the fuck out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Did anyone else think that it was all a bit 'meh'? I thought there would be a proper bombshell, but without context, even the 'how dark will the baby be' lacks any real impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole way it was discussed in the interview is odd. It’s ‘Harry heard someone say something’ and then letting Oprah put her interpretation of it and just leaving it out in the air like a fart. Then Harry won’t put context on what was said or reveal who said it, but is seemingly ok with still discussing it. It’s just all a bit weird. I don’t think there is anything particularly new or interesting coming out of that interview. We’ve known for decades that the Royals are a cold unwelcoming bunch, certainly aren’t politically correct, are not especially understanding of people’s mental struggles, and who squabble and argue with each other like anyone else. I agree, it is all a bit meh. It won’t stop it being talked about for weeks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Both of them very keen to say multiple times how great the Queen is. Definitely an MI6 sniper overlooking their California compound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s harsh, for all the crap that Joffery went through growing up, he at least was never cut off and made to live in California, forced to make Netflix documentaries for a living, to pay for his enormous extravagant lifestyle.

Which Tyler Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Gods, i can't wait for the next government U-turn, Covid fuck-up or Cronyism Controversy and move on past a bunch of people I don't give a flying fuck about, explicitly seeking a lot of publicity so that they can tell everyone how much they hate publicity; and how they hadn't realised that putting themselves out of a union (family) meant that they might be considered to be outside of that union. Frankly, the whole damn thing bores me; it's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joffrey would have had Piers Morgan fired from a trebuchet. Despite my republican sentiments, and their undoubted privilege, I'm not without some sympathy. The British press are ravening, hypocritical vultures and I'm not sure that the Royal watching public are much better. I made the mistake of spending a few weeks on Quora recently and even just that one site had literally hundred of threads of brutally vile attacks on Meghan and her mother. I don't care who the person is, that level of hatred must be hard to deal with emotionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did vote for a republic in the referendum back in the 90's, so maybe all this will stir up that debate again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lean to republicanism (being Canadian) and as such have very little use or interest in the whole family, but I detest bullying. BTW, as a successful actress, Meghan Markle probably had a higher net worth than Harry when they met. She can always go back to acting, but being a royal without a country gets you nothing but the charity of your family. Just ask Harry's grandad about that.
