Harry and Meghan Netflix documentary

[Pea-n-Me]

The reporters frequently say Omid Scobie is a mouth piece for Meghan. So, if he is writing another book to be published August 1st called “End Game” about chaos and dysfunction in the monarchy and claiming the monarchy will not survive, it is just another chapter of the Harry and Meghan show. They need endless amounts of money and bashing the monarchy is all they have to sell. We know where the truth meter goes. But it is another grandiosity play. If they knew their history they would know the institution has survived much more chaos and mental dysfunction than this. Several Kings and Queens had personally suffered from serious mental illness and yet the monarchy continues. They have staff and expert advisors to work things out. Scobie and his “source” are the despicable ones here. But, it makes it crystal clear that his sources have a goal to attack and destroy the monarchy. Probably just trying to bait Charles and William. But it sure makes the days of throwing traitors into the Tower of London look like the good old days!

Man, they are shameless! One salvo after another from these people, and that’s all they’ve got. Most everyone sees it for what it is now, don’t you think?

He needs a good therapist, not a global stage and spotlight.

In 2020 he speeched at JP Morgan, saying he had been in therapy for 7 years already. Not sure if the EDMR therapy he talked about in his Apple TV documentary was part of this.

I know you cannot put a time on how long you need to recover, especially given the circumstances in his case, but at a certain point... you can't live in the past forever.

The more stories come out about editing or misrepresenting, I wonder if Netflix was unaware of the British media and how every comma would be checked and studied from all sides, or maybe it is just underestimating it, or they just didn't bother to fact check a few things and went with whatever H&M told them and took it as gospel truth.

some things one doesn't recover from, but one simply learns to live with it. When vocal he seems to have a real fear and paranoia of the press due to his Mother's death and mental trauma he had. But at some point having your life revolve around this is not healthy. and his book, Doc is having his life revolve around this. Which is odd as in his single days he really didnt care. Images of him partying it up a a Vegas pool, and those infamous nude pool game shots. Yes he had official security but he wasnt living a life like a hunted man. I guess he felt things changed when she came in the picture and as a husband became more protective.

it sounds cold, but at some point one does get sick of hearing other people's sob stories. I have a guy at work, he real health issues in the family and himself. It affects his work ( he doesnt do much) At the start everyone was sympathetic, understanding... This is like 3 years ago... Now whenever we bump into him, people avoid him as he always starts about his health. It's like ok what thing does he have now. this defines him as a colleague as at this point we feel he's playing the sick card to be advantageous.. Same with Harry, yes it's sad a little boy lost his mom, happens every day. We support those and give sympathy but when it becomes something that defines him and he uses it to his advantage then people stop caring. In his mind, he is probably continueing the Diana story because he wants to keep her memory alive, spread knowledge on how bad the papps are, and mental health. Others view this is this how you are defining the rest of your life?? And making cash off of it.

I certainly don't know them or how their marriage works. But I have this uneasy feeling that Meghan exploited that weakness in him. It's hard to watch. Totally agree it's time for him to get a handle on it though. Thus, my lack of sympathy for either of them.

Wow, it's amazing how differently people perceive things. I, for one, fully support Harry and Meghan. They royal family seems incredibly dysfunctional and honestly the monarchy itself should just be dismantled. I'm glad they feel safe enough to tell their story and I never thought they wanted to fade from the public view, it was quite clear they just wanted to get away from the stifling and abusive ways of the royal family. Good for them for getting it all out there.

It seems so classist to keep calling out what she was wearing when she met her inlaws. Oh no, she met them while wearing regular clothes god forbid! I met my in-laws braless in pajamas and barefoot. For shame?

Are your in-laws heirs to the throne?

 

[EilonwyWanderer]

Why should that matter if they're just going to be family? Like, everyone here gets that the monarchy is laughable, right? They're just regular people who happen to have been lucky enough to be born into a family that lives off the people while having no real power anymore and going to parties.

Context matters. I wouldn't go visit someone at a wedding for the first time barefoot, royal or not. It's about appropriate expectations and respect.

Because most people try to conform at least a little to make a good impression on people who will become family. When you know your inlaws have very conservative views, then the first meeting is not the time to discuss liberal political views. You can do that later once you get to know each other better.
Meghan comes from a Hollywood tv family, growing up on the set of Married with Children. That's completely different from where Harry comes from. Neither one is better than the other. But if you know your family is stiff-upper lip, the least you can do is meet them half way in their culture. So they can meet you half way in yours. The impression you give off is: "I am not interested in you." Whether that was the intention or not, first impressions matter.

And this is also where Harry could have protected and prepared Meghan better. He would have known how William and Kate would show up, Meghan wasn't the first girlfriend introduced to the family.

In my opinion a constitutional monarchy is a superior form of government than just a president. And you would be amazed at the power there is behind closed doors, how much money they can generate and not just because of 70 billion GBP in royal tourism.
It goes much further than the outside, it's much more than parties. But let's not discuss politics here. Please be respectful that there are people in this thread who come from monarchies and are perfectly happy with that. No need to sling mud.

I hope you are British. Otherwise you shouldn't be badmouthing other countries style of government.

I think the main issue is not what she was wearing but that she obviously used the story to be passive agressive. She implied that Hey I am the nice cool one but the other are cold and formal.

I consider myself a nice person would find it odd when I would meet a stranger for the first time and be hugged while they are barefoot. Especially in the UK, Florida, ok maybe.

Thought for this morning as there are new "truths"...

The timing of all this stuff just can't even make sense. These guys were planning their exit so very early on that there wasn't even time to have all the accumulation of misdeeds against them.
Most of us have experienced family ups and downs. People of good intentions wait a long time to pull the plug. You give family members lots of opportunities to make amends. Megs had to be looking for slights to pounce on, just to justify the exit they made.

 

[Karin1984]

New trailer alert!

Meghan's lawyer says she has seen negative briefings against Meghan. She was the scapegoat to take away the attention of negative stories about other family members.

Is this the same lawyer that was complaining about Markle stories last year?

i really hope h&m's children aren't raised with a sense of paranoia and fear that the media is always lurking somewhere waiting to intentionally cause them harm. i look at the distaste/paranoia harry has for the media pertaining to diana's death, now he feels it's been transferred through his association to meghan, i have to wonder what kind of media mentality these kiddos will be raised with. it's odd though, on the one hand he speaks of wanting to protect his wife and kids but on the other he's featuring photos of the kids and the home they live in (vs. where it's said the documentary interviews were filmed). i think of how successfully some very high profile individuals are in keeping their children out of sight media wise, would never consider releasing photographs of their personal housing so it's not something that is unachievable.

Totally disagree. "People of good intentions" shouldn't just sit around waiting for the next slight just hoping that family members will get better. Like that people are saying that Harry should have "prepared her better" is just bonkers to me. And no wonder once he met someone that was outside of the dysfunctional royal bubble who was like "families don't act like this" he tried to get out as fast as possible. People who are stuck in abusive/bad relationships often can't see it because they're brought up to see it as normal. It absolutely makes sense to me that when shown what real family interactions should be he backed right out of that situation.
