Harry and Meghan - OP updated with Threadbanned Users 4/5/21

I read that after 12 months of trying unsuccessfully to persuade Knauf to give evidence, a 'confidential' source let it be known in July that he was prepared to spill. July being the same month that news of Harry's tell all autobiography made headlines. I'd say that was absolutely the last straw for the Royals.

I would say that never in a million years did Harry and Megan think the rest of the family would give the nod to the staff to divulge personal details to such a degree. It might make Harry think twice about what goes into the book as I'd say no matter what muck he throws, the rest of the family have the means of throwing it back with interest.

Despite all their wealth, on a human level you'd have to have sympathy for any family having such a nasty piece of work marry into them. How I'd love to know what their Christmas with the Cambridges was like, I know it was before they were married but I gather there was tension even then.

Couldn't imagine Meghan would be invited. Harry by the skin of his teeth.

Probably a flying visit like the one for Prince Philip's funeral.

When the Queen does die, the whole UK will go into spasms. I'd anticipate a week of mourning at the least. Then, you'll have the coronation of Charles, and all the bombast around that. It won't be something over a few days, but maybe a month before it all settles. A flying visit just won't cut it.

Well there is a plan in place to cover multiple scenarios depending on where the queen dies(including one overseas which is less likely now) and the plan which we saw some of when Prince Phillip died but this will be on a much larger scale. Well Charles won’t have a coronation until months after his mother dies. While other kings and queens dying around Europe would make news in some parts of the world, when queen Elizabeth dies, whether you think monarchy is the best think since instant whip, or a confusing outdated institution(what I believe) it will be worldwide news. If Meghan is absent it will be noticed and also there would be talk about who’s doing what and where.

Who’s they in reference to ?

Not sure if true or not but one of the blind item sites is saying that they pissed off veterans at the recent event with the cameras and even asking people to repeat or change things they said so they could film it.

Those texts with Knauf were sent in August 2018 while Meghan was in Toronto privately visiting Jessica Mulroney (not her stylist) in Toronto. So much for the "they took my keys, my passport and I couldn't go anywhere" victim playing.

The family aren’t the queen is. Prince Andrew is very lucky his mother is still alive because if she wasn’t I don’t see anywhere near the support from his brother and nephew over the serious allegations he’s facing.

And I’m not sure why the Prince Andrew issue negates the Harry and Meghan issue. They are separate pains in the hole. And yes on a human level you’d have to have sympathy for them given two members of their family are bad mouthing them on worldwide TV on stuff that can be easily proven to be false and vague allegations of racism with contradictions on even the basic points of the allegation. I’ve seen less goalpost moving with Harry and Meghan then you’d see at an U-12 hurling blitz.

on the racism allegation which is the one I find most unpleasant due to their unwillingness or inability to say who the person was, or to even get basic points lined up, they had to clarify how it wasn’t but not who it was. Then we had your man Omid Scobie say that the racism went on after the time it was supposedly said it happened in the Oprah interview, which begs the question, why wasn’t that said during the interview ?

You discredit the poor man, surely you mean he does not fall off Camilla at whatever speed they enjoy.
