The horror of helicopters over your free mansion from Tyler Perry! Worse than being homeless!
Harry and Meghan Documentary
- Thread starter deadeyededric
- Start date
Make money using their royal titles of course! Smart of QE II towards the end to make sure they had no cameras before seeing them since they seem to have been filming stuff long before they left.
It says right in their website that they value privacy like all members of society. They also have half a dozen lawsuits all using privacy as a justification.
It took me 2 minutes to find that with a basic search.
Opinion: If Meghan and Harry want a quiet life, this is not how to get it
From privacy to pushing buttons; what do the Sussexes really want?
Again, I'm not disagreeing, I'm just saying it probably wasn't easy (losing their mom, dad's affair, etc) being in the spotlight.
Trust me, I really don't care about him but I do think his military career seemed to be honorable from what I remember.
Not at all. I know you always are considerate of “middle-aged women who are lonely and need attention” so I see why you are so fascinated by Meghan at least. Hope she doesn’t have fibromyalgia!

Prince Harry and Meghan say they didn't step back over privacy concerns
The couple's press secretary rejects claims they stepped back from royal life to protect their privacy.

Here you go. They can value privacy while also not having that be the specific reason they stepped back from official royal duties. This is their own words vs an opinion piece you provided.
And their original Jan 2020 announcement where the word "privacy" never appears.
In full: The Sussexes' statement and the Buckingham Palace response
A statement is released saying the Duke and Duchess of Sussex intend to step back as senior royals.

I don't much care but it's interesting because I too, thought it seemed contradictory to be so public if you left for privacy....until someone pointed out that they didn't and that's Palace spin.

So, I have watched it.
I have sympathy for both Harry and Will. They were born into a life of continual surveillance and performing. You are in the most visible family in the world, and are paid to do it, which leaves this expectation to perform. They lost their mom due to that overexposure, and had to have all of the wreck that was both of their parents on the front page of every newspaper whenever they did stupid ****. (And they did - tampongate, the Andrew Morton book, etc.)
I think it is great Harry was in service for so long. I think it is great that Will and Kate have been so private about their own opinions. And I think that the media has gone too far. And there is definite racism by the media against Meghan.
That said. Meghan married into the most famous family in the world after all of the above drama, and is… surprised when the media invents drama? Also, pretty well everything she said felt performative. She mentions collapsing into someone’s arms several times - I have literally never done that. I think there is a little disingenuousness there, a little bit of acting. She just reads fake.
I can totally get that they didn’t want to play the media and palace games anymore, especially with racism in play. So it was a good move to take themselves off the public’s payroll. I don’t know that we need the constant media exposure, however.

Agreed. I think she enjoys the attention and sympathy. The whole “ooh I got this text from Beyoncé thing” made me roll my eyes. Or how the “documentary” tried to make it sound like she would have saved the monarchy, she was so special, but they were too dumb to see it. It was really just a giant blowie of her.
Now Harry? I think it is incredible that he put her first. I believe he is the more magnanimous of the pair - he is always watching out, taking responsibility for things that weren’t his fault, trying to be kind.
I love powerful women, I just read a fakeness in her.
I like(d) both Queen Elizabeth and Kate far more than Meghan or Diana. I don’t enjoy high drama, or people who seem to milk public sympathy. I think mental health is super important, and you can advocate for it without making it self-serving.
I don’t get the public fascination with the Royals, movie stars, Hollywood, “celebrities”, tv talk shows etc. (Cyclones, HS recruits, NFL players etc. are fair game and need surveillance btw)
She's a bimbo. I don't care how much they try to bring up how she was a good student or whatever.
To your last part: imo when that happens it's just showing that the person is at minimum not very balanced as is.
I don't know what her messaging has been but hopefully it wasn't the 'quick fix' angle. Balancing one's self takes far more than 'deep breath, just self care OK?!.'
Yeah I don't have time for that garbage. I generally spend all my time paying attention to where 17 year old kids are going to college to play sports.
I watched. It was entertaining. I thought it was ironic that they want privacy, then they make a documentary that makes people even more interested in their lives. Guessing that was the plan all along.
I dont give a **** what the royals, celebs, or athletes have to say. Also people who watch Hollywood award shows are weird.
Watching isn't that weird to me (I don't watch personally).
When people watch like they know the celebs is weird.
