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

I've pm'd you

Imagine thinking to yourself "Hey! It's Friday again already. What a week! Time to crack open a cold one and settle in for another Harry podcast about famous peoples childhood trauma. Who is on this week then?"

The judge in the case against the Mirror asking the obvious from Harrys solicitor after closing statement. Show me the evidence of hacking. Give me two examples etc.

South Park was the beginning of the end for them in America.

Then the lengthy public invisible New York high/low speed chase just jumped the shark completely.

Whatever tiny semblence of honesty/integrity they had left was utterly nuked.

I hope South Park have another pop again.

This is it!

Anti royalist somehow approve of Harry and Meaghan, even though they are the most privileged people you could imagine!

'Wille had a bigger room then me in the castle'😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 boo hoo hoo 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Ah now don’t be so unfair- room envy is a common condition in those with privileged childhoods - it’s known for causing a whole host of issues in adult life such as drug taking, dressing up as a Nazi and snitching on your family in a tell-all book, none of which of course, you can be held responsible for.

I couldn't give two tosses about the Royal Family. I have no time for all this blue blood, elitist class nonsense though that is so popular in the UK. I admire Harry and Meghan for their bravery in taking on the trashy, racist British tabloids that think its ok to destroy people's lives with their nasty hate filled gossip.

What does the monarchy do, other than perform in pagents and wear nice clothes and cut ribbons. I see this week William was claiming that his life's work was going to be solving homelessness with 3 million quid. A few years ago his life's work was going to be creating peace in the Middle East! And you lot are laughing at Harry for saying he wanted to interview some bad boys about their early life experiences?

Harry and Meghan wouldn't have to monetarise anything if Harry's father had done what all normal father's would have done, offer security to his son and grandchildren and not use his son or daughter-in-law as a diversion for his own and his 2nd wife's deficiencies.

I really don't see what is privileged about their childhoods. They were awful. Parents divorced, mother killed. Making headlines every day in national newspapers. Thats better described as having had an abusive childhood.

Did you grow up in a royal palace? How many kids get that privilege. Lots of kids have the privilege of being abused by their parents, that can happen to anyone, but it doesn't happen to everyone while they are waited on night and day by the machinations of the aristocracy.

I highly doubt Harry will be the one to depart. He's had multiple chances to come to his senses. True to form, she will probably drop him when he no longers proves useful to her.

The queen didn't "give" him a house. It was a lease, which wasn't renewed after they hadn't lived in the property for several years. You can't be "evicted" from a house you don't live in. Its hardly mistreatment for your family to only leave you with a $14 million mansion in the US to live in. Get a grip.

The homeless project is a trial with an initial 3 million to fund it. It is exploratory and presumably if successful then more money and investment goes towards it. The whole royal thing is using their brand, image and press office to help charities, causes and issues as mentioned before. The working ones act as proxy heads of state in representing the actual head of state and iirc it costs taxpayers circa 77p each per year to fund it all. I doubt William sees the middle east as his issue to resolve. He is the heir and when he is the monarch then my guess is that involvement in middle east negotiations/talks will be sustained and perhaps prioritized.

So they wouldn’t be on Oprah or Netflix or publishing Spare if only Daddy had just paid for his security? The Queen was the monarch at the time and it has been pointed out that the royals don’t determine security. His dad did give his multi-millionaire son 2 million quid when they left. His security costs were estimated to be around $2 million a year. Not a coincidence and presumably given to cover private security for a year. Remember they were on a year long review about what they wanted to do and that money would cover security for that year. They decided to formally leave and since their PR, during this time, was proudly touting secured deals made for them of $100 million for Netflix, $20 million for Spotify and another $20 million from Penguin then would it be reasonable to think that Harry and Meghan were financially secure? Secure enough to be financially independent per their own wishes and this $2 million a year security was easily covered? No need for looking for handouts from Pa. Get going on the work needed for these deals.

You have to look at the optics in this. Harry was complaining about security getting cut and having to sign multi-million deals to pay for security while, in parallel, buying a gaff for $16 million i.e. money/cash flow isn’t really a problem if you have the means to buy such a property and thus security costs can’t be an issue.

Some mental gymnastics involved in trying to say the Prince Harry of the British royal family wasn't privileged!

Could there be anyone more privileged

With their half in/out wishes they were like two people who wanted to make their communion/confirmation but be allowed to skip all the preparations and that boring mass bit and go straight to the part where they went to relatives and got sweets, cakes and envelopes stuffed with fifties. 😄

Great point about work ethic. Americans value hard work. You work hard and you get the reward with minimal begrudgery because you worked your ass off to deserve it. I never knew Meghan did the podcasts face to face with the household name guests (Serena, Mariah) but edited herself in for those who weren't. Insulting to those guests really although perhaps they parked it away as price to pay for the exposure/coverage.
