I'm not watching either but summarising what is on Twitter.
I'm going to call you on your sauce - I'm not convinced that it is reliable. They may just be espousing random opinions.
A bit like here.
Cleaned bowled.

Lots of excited Americans saying this is the end of UK Monarchy.
Seriously? I think two-ex Royals having a go at the other Royals from a Californian mansion, will make the other Royals even more popular to most Brits.
The average Brexiter will probably be furious at these two 'Johnny Foreigners'
Andrew is the one more likely to cause complete carnage...

@donsteppa Also not sure it is true. In 2020 Harry was still receving at a million pounds of Duchy of Cornwall funds.
What Harry and Meghan have done is made a very emotional case. Whether it stands up to critical scrutiny and who will care is another matter.

A lot of Americans spouting off with great glee that the Royal family is finished and the Commonwealth will implode, and as per usual they understand jack shit.
I love Americans to bits, but if there is one democracy in the world that really shouldn't be lecturing other democracies any time soon on optimal constitutional arrangements it is theirs.

Meghan claimed Kate made her cry not the other way around.
She says her and Prince Harry married three days before the public wedding. (Think he said this already.)
The most explosive bit is that she accuses members of the Royal Family (unnamed) of being concerned about Archie's skin colour before he was born.
She says Archie had HRH and full security taken from him while she was pregnant . (Not true. I remember it being announced before Meghan was on the scene that Prince Harry's children would only HRH once their grandfather was king)
She claimed that she asked the Palace for medical help because she was feeling suicidal and was denied.
She having a girl.
Harry claims Prince Charles stopped taking his calls.
Harry, perhaps unsurprisingly, hates the UK tabloid press.
Harry feels let down by his father. Harry says his family cut him off financially.Most of it sounds like fake news or exaggeration. That claim about a royal commenting on their child's skin colour is probably the Duke of Edinburgh, he's known to be a grumpy inappropriate bastard

@bones said in Royal drama:
Forgive my ignorance. How is it offensive to ponder on an unborn child's skin colour?
Clearly she took it badly. If it was the Duke I'm sure he wasn't being malicious. He's notorious for saying shit that might be considered off colour that would enrage some people. This airing out of supposed grievances feels decidedly lacking in class

My grandmother would have loved this thread.
Some of you need to get that Y chromosome into action again. Otherwise we can open coronation street, knitting and the Pope threads.

God you're such a man, I'm so turned on right now.
