Same old crap to be expected from PH

So far the documentary has told us all what we already knew - tabloids are the scourge of the country and peddle the narrative in what ever way they see fit - and everyone laps it up

The replies on this thread in my mind do nothing but confirm this

I eagerly await the next few episodes to see what silt is stirred up. I still believe this is a witch hunt against someone who doesn't look or behave like a royal, and her husband who rightfully stands by his wife
I think similar, I don't think they're saying they're adverse to publicity as by and large it goes with the job. So those saying they're crying about lack of privacy and then they're going on netflix and oprah are missing the point. They're choosing to go on Oprah and Netflix to tell their side. Its the invasiveness of the press which stems from how Harry's mother was hounded and investigated by the press which is the issue.

If early on we'd haver seen some regulation on the press and their behavior then this wouldn't have been so extreme, sadly i think Harry and Meghan are picking a war that can't be won as the press control the masses and the narrative to an extent.

The press took topless pictures of Kate on honeymoon in france with a telescopic lens on a camera. how is that any more legal than someone going up to a girl on a beach and taking a picture without their consent?

The fact that Harry and Megan take up half of the daily mails time in negative press tells me all i need to know. Press are being bullied back and they don't like it. They'll ultimately win though and Harry and Megan will see no real benefit of taking this battle on

We're not talking here about how the Royal family has reacted to his situation.

We are talking about how the press have treated him.

Maybe we're reading different headlines. What exactly do you think the press would have done to be comparable to how they've treated Markle?

Yep. Deflection. The royal family still has a lot of power over media. The media controls the narrative. His mummy gave millions to a random women, yet the worst Megan has done, is not understand the royal family. st lock her up.

Coincidentally I'm sure, but they seemed to be less complimentary when she decided that she didn't want the press camped outside of her house, going through her bins and intercepting private correspondence, and subsequently started sued and won a case against one of them.

I'm sure you're right though and it was absolutely nothing to do with that and entirely down to her 'controlling Harry'

The reality is that the Sussexes are hypocritical, self-serving and two-faced. Hardly a likeable combination. They will probably continue to carve out a successful celebrity career for themselves, trading on the Royal title and associations they also claim to disavow and loathe.

There are worse people around, and they are probably harmless once their bile and hatred of the other royals has been exorcised by this tv series, but let’s see…

Just head onto the Daily Mail website and see how many articles there are blatantly bullying the two of them. It's made the mind up of most of the UK public. Even a few days after it's ridiculous, but on the day the video launched it was all that was mentioned.

As for anyone thinking Andrew has had difficult press coverage, he couldn't have gotten away any lighter, given what he's done.

The Mail in particular is conducting a pretty vile and vindictive campaign against them, probably because a) they aren't playing the game that the tabloid press expects of them, b) they have called out the tabloids on their pretty shameful behaviour and won and, worst of all, c) it knows that's what it's readers want to read about them.

Maybe if you'd been subject to the sort of vitriolic daily coverage that has been served up to these two you'd just sit down quietly and take it, but not everyone its willing to.

Marrying Harry has given Meghan instant celebrity and a huge global platform to pump out her victimhood and woke nonsense. What most posters with other views are either too dumb to realise, or prefer not to acknowledge, is that Meghan is the author of her own reputation. She probably doesn’t care as the net benefit to be driving her own self-promotion with Harry in tow far exceeds any negative press she is currently having.

There is a smoking gun from enough sources that she is a primadonna, deeply unpleasant to work for, and a professional victim.

Well that's what Sarah Vine thinks / is paid to write - do you have an opinion of your own on the matter?

Unfortunately, I've heard through a distant contact of a friend who worked in the Royal household, he is apparently as thick as mince
Thick as mince yet flew an AH-64 in Afghanistan on your scale of thickness where is your average Apache Pilot ?

I think they’ll end up like Edward and Wallis, make a living by being full time partygoers but completely irrelevant…

That's what the press do, build people up to knock them down. Whenever I see the press saying how wonderful someone is, when they arrive on the scene, I just know that in 6 months they'll be front page scum of the Earth.

Any or Dec the one who had a drug problem crashed his car seemed to get off very lightly. I think some do get treated better than others.
