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

Yep- I watched that today- it was all about the curtsy itself- absolutely nothing in that section could be taken as mocking the Queen

The daily mail did go over the top, maybe they have it in for her. Not sure how much was covered in other papers. Maybe Meghan likes the attention..Who knows?

ah but she wasn't racist apparently, she's the real victim something something.

yup, deranged stuff from some of these people, they are obsessed, trying to make all sorts of psychological diagnosis of her and failing badly.

mad stuff altogether.

On the idea of "What do they want?". It's simple. Money. They want money. How? Lets say they got their half in half out request. They got to make commercial deals, they got the PR optics of being Royal, they got the expense account to wear expensive clothes, full time security, a big impressive gaff, want for nothing etc. Ask yourself. Would there be a memoir which is expected to contain bombshells? Would there be people thinking it will be the final 3 episodes where they put the boot in on the family? None of this would be happening if they'd gotten their way and thus wouldn't be biting the hands that were feeding them because clearly given their output they are hopeless and spent in terms of any originality (i.e. whatever they have produced is produced better elsewhere). It is thus laughable that they are hailed in the way they are because if they were being kept no one would heard sweet FA about bombshells i.e. the royals could be racist scum but we'd know nothing about it because H&M are quids in.

Given how the family paid off millions to Giuffre to make it all go away then it would have been a good idea to give the Sussexes say an unconditional cheque for $20 million and full time protection (security guard/driver) and told to go be independent 'n stuff in California but that $20 million is all you're getting, make it last because (not setting a precedent) if you come asking for even more you can f*ck right off because Harry also had his inheritance on top of the lump sum. If he subsequently went down the bombshell/throwing the family under the bus then the family can say they'd sorted him out and infer he'd squandered it and is now brazen because he couldn't get more. That $20 million would have bought them off so to speak.

Because it's the job of tabloids to do this. That's how they earn their crust. H&M left the RF to be private citizens yet they're spilling every detail of their private lives to the media - for money! I am an Irish Republican and have little or no grá for the British Royal Family but I actually feel some sympathy for them now. Meghan estranged herself from her own family and imo, she got Harry to do the same with his.

I have always said that if I ever met the queen, or any of the RF (always very unlikely), I would be respectful but wouldn't/couldn't curtsy to any of them. I don't think that any human being should bow down to any other human being. That said, Meghan's mocking of her curtsying to the Q, her husband's grandmother was very distasteful. IMO, she's a nasty piece of work and I can't see it ending in any other way than divorce.

Whilst neither of us can prove either way, I don’t believe they were “driven out” - I think they proactively wanted to leave- this middle England, safe charities, ribbon cutting garden party life conformity of Kate and Wills just didn’t do it for either of them - I can’t blame them either- and whilst their constant moaning is pizzing of plenty, they probably don’t give a fook and are the ones laughing every time they select balance enquiry at an ATM.

I mean at least it's on record. Not like some

Ireland is a Republic, Irish people don't bow or curtsy to royalty so I'm not sure why you're making a point of saying you wouldn't.

The breakdown of her relationship with her dad is probably the saddest part of this sorry episode, all played out in the full glare of the media.

Considering they were on good terms prior to the wedding it’s such a shame- I see the dad is now refuting allegations in the documentary that he didn’t write those texts - with both sides determined to get the last word via newspapers and other media there’s no hope of a reconciliation at this stage- he won’t be long for this world given his health issues and then it will be too late- Not a good reflection on H&M to be honest, they should really keep their mouths shut except that they’re so precious about their “brand” and their “truth”
