If they both commit to being the parents they never had, the kids could be fine
Or if the family have both of the parents committed, the kids could be fine.
Actually given the all the talk about mental illness, and the request for assistance previously - "glad to help" might be forthcoming along with the straightjacket and definitely a gag.

@antipodean
Kinda get the logic, but I put a fair bit of the blame on the big tabloid media companies. Sure, if they didn't publish it someone else would, just like with drug dealers, but they're still destroying lives just to make Rupert and friends richer (not talking about H&M particularly, there are thousands of innocent people - celebs, victims of crime etc.) who've had their lives shattered by these muckraking.
I hate the fact that so may people don't care and keep them in business, but that doesn't make them any better IMO -

@victor-meldrew the man publishes a picture of Winston Churchill on his twitter account.
Perhaps to show storming off set as a hypocritical snowflake is the same as defending Britain in WWII. Or perhaps he thinks WC's attitude to racism was exemplary.
But he does seem strangely ignorant about phone tapping, yet, conversely, somehow informed:

Finally watched the Chat.
Meghan actually didn't annoy me as much as I thought she would and the whole mental health situation isn't one I'd dare throw shade on, it was her experience and remember she was also pregnant at the time and after giving birth was still struggling.
And of course it is true that people put their game faces on and go to work, what's going on behind closed doors is what we don't tend to see, obviously. I felt this was the most genuine part of the interview from her. I believe that she struggled and asked for help and didn't get what she needed.So moving on from that, as a couple they clearly feel the need to get it all off their chest, I still can't see what they have hoped to achieve from this other than publicity for their brand as they now need to line their pockets. All smells very revengey to me, they felt let down for not being sheltered from it so now they want to give them a taste of what they experienced. It was like when someone at work half tells you gossip but won't tell you the full story with names because then they will be in the shit...
Harry just seemed very uncomfortable with it all.Also this ended up being less about the press and more about their family, yes British rags are shit but HnM believed something could have been done to tame them and the Firm wouldn't help. Revenge.
Wish I didn't watch it now,had zero interest in them before.
Harry has resented the whole royal thing since he was a kid, hence all the rebelling in his early 20s. And fair enough too, fuck being born into that.
free test tickets to any game any where sounds like a decent fucking trade off Harry you ginger fuck.
I know that's tongue in cheek but fuck being paraded in front of the entire world as a kid while you walk behind your mother's coffin in front of huge crowds. That shit is traumatising. And then having every aspect of your life reported on and poured over by millions of people worldwide, something the human brain is just not good at managing (we evolved to deal with feedback from our immediate circles, millions of people is a different kettle of fish). You honestly could not pay me enough to be in his shoes. IMO Meghan was his ticket out of there and he made the move as soon as he could. The Hollywood celebrity life is far more appealing than the royal life in the fish bowl of the UK.
He didn't need to shit on his family though. He could have just walked away

Permit me to try again: For me the criticism has to have some nexus, regardless of how famous someone is. If they spruik environmentalism and they have a massive carbon footprint, then that criticism is valid. That they've a failed business or marriage, or a relative is a bit of a fluffybunny shouldn't be relevant.

this => " I still can't see what they have hoped to achieve from this"
I have no interest in these twats, but have been sucked in as well. Why are they doing this? Only possible outcome is to throw his family under the bus. Don't get it.
To get PR and therefore money (copyright HRH tea towels?) She is an actress after all, and I don't think Harry can join the US army..
Perhaps he has other skills, can fly a helicopter?
Used to be a gunner, perhaps there is a job for him on Capitol Hill...I gotta say the bit about no mental health access is interesting. Harry has/has a therapist and they are patrons of a mental health foundation..
But yeah, if I am right, and they are relying on the royal name for social media income and merchandise, destroying the Royal Family might not be the best long-term plan?
I'm just trying to work out who Tyrion Lannister is in all of this. Nobody seems clever enough or drunk enough.oh and another thing, if I was a Prince, and I abandoned my country, could I really feel upset the UK taxpayers don't fork out for my security? I know Harry apparently only got 18 million from his mother, but, hey nobody can afford security in Hollywood. Especially those actor types.

The bottom line is that if you are being led by a partner who has a crappy, dysfunctional history with other human beings and you publically shit on your immediate family including your brother and everything those people hold dear leads me to believe ole millennial 'Arry is not a happy, well-functioning ginger.
-
That was something that made me snort, the whole we got cut off financially sob story. He has millions from his mother, she has millions from acting. They have a multi million dollar property in a very swanky neighbourhood. They aren't exactly in a shelter and eating at the local mission. Plus why would the royal family fund them living in America and not doing any official duties? Come on now.

He's been listing his School-C results in some other thread... I think we can take a guess that English wasn't a high mark.
TBF - I think "idyllic" is beyond the spelling-capabilities of most people who think of "memes" as a valid pastime.
83% motherfucker. It’s the other subjects I was terrible at.
....and it goes without saying I am far too dumb to make memes.
fuck off you know your exact result from a 30 year old exam
either that, or you are sadder than i thought
30? Fuck not all of us are that old.
Pretty sure I remember. Mind you I didn't get many other qualifications if any...

So you can remember your English result from 20-odd years ago, but you can't quite remember if you have any other qualifications?
How do you go at job interviews mate?

I've had one in the last 20 years. They're pretty old school eh...

@voodoo Yeah, I saw that.
I also saw the story in the herald covered it, also put in Serena Williams response as well.
By fuck I hate the British media, but reading stuff / heralds coverage of this and other things the last few days, it does appear the NZ Media is at exactly the same level. Although perhaps with a healthier dose of delusion.

Yeah, in amongst all the celebrity bluster, the whole thing came across to me as somebody just airing the dirty family laundry. And that's never cool.
Is there a family out there which doesn't have a member who'd question the colour of the kids? Is that racist? What does racist even mean anymore? And as for poor old Meghan having a cry after a fight with her sister-in-law ... is that news? Really?

@mokey If someone told you they had cancer or COVID, even if you didn't like them, you would believe them. Why then are people not trusted when they say they've had mental health problems?
Piers Morgan opened his employer up to litigation and an advertising boycott. He's still free to have opinions and voice them, but he's not free from the consequences of doing so.
I doubt he'll be out of work for long.
Name: Meghan Markle
Occupation: Actress -
@mokey said in Royal drama:
The British press are the absolute worst, but it's hard to make a strong we want privacy argument when you do a whole 15 min segment on James Corden followed by 3 hours with Oprah. And the podcast stuff they've done. If all media turned around and said ya know what? You are right. Here's privacy, no more stories or pics, they would hate it.
That would be gold

@Kruse studying for an arts paper is tantamount to cheating.
I passed Stage 3 Eng Lit papers based on having read the Classics Illustrated comic version of the novel when I was a kid. [/piston wristed gibbon]
I can't remember my School C Eng result but whatever - all its got me is wasting too much time on the interweb arguing shit with Polish chicks
It’s not quite scoring four touchdowns for Polk High back in 68 but it’s pretty close.
Or '82
