I've made fun of Meghan before but these new reports are not good. I think we can all guess who it is who inquired about their baby's skin tone and would be "damaged" by their (her) name being made public. Oh honey, my money is on Camilla after hitting the gin and tonics! Have you seen The Windsors on Netflix? She is brilliant in that.

I think Harry has probably severed his relationship with his family for good after that interview.

Well, at this tough time I hope Meghan can find comfort in her own family - oh right she doesn't speak to her dad and sister too, right? Oops.
People who have no relationship with their own families AND estrange their husband from his are likely to be the problem not the truth speaking social justice heroine.
Just sayin'........ymmv

Just sayin'........ymmv She's close with her mom and her dad sold her out by working with the same tabloids shitting on her. Honestly, Prince Harry going this route was bound to happen as soon as he got married. Unless some tragedy happens, he's not going to be king and does not have to feel as duty-bound as his brother. He was always the wilder one, had been tabloid fodder for enough of his life, and he and his wife were suing some of those rags before they stepped down. Nothing he nor his wife complained about regarding the institution of the royal family is anything his mother hadn't already talked about 25 years ago and since he was not treated as high-priority as his heir brother, it makes sense he'd leave. Meghan, being both American and black, only exacerbated issues that were always there.

Meghan, being both American and black, only exacerbated issues that were always there. I guess that's one way to see it but she lost me for good on that interview specifically - she accuses them of racism because isn't everything racism (um), doesn't give a name which is a coward move in a way too. Well maybe that will be on the sequel - Oprah 2: The Interview Before The Netflix Premiere Meanwhile his brother and his sister in law, keep their mouths shut and get rewarded by people guessing "which is the racist?" . I mean it's no big deal - they're out, they'll never be royals (Lorde reference) - and fnck Harry too that was a no class move and I get it - he has issues, hard to lose your Mom etc......but.......your 100 year old grandfather may be on his deathbed - a war hero and you're on TV like that? Nah....and I'm glad she talks to her Mom but you get my overall point - a lot of her personal relationships haven't ended well .......so maybe Meghan having issues (she does) exacerbated Harry's issues that were already there, yeah. Still........."bad form" as the Brits say imo.

Accusing some members of the royal family of racism isn’t exactly shocking. I’d be genuinely shocked if she said she experienced zero racism from them.

IF it happened sure....... IF it was a close member of the upper royal family sure....... BUT if it was a weird cousin twice removed ..........maybe not so much that it should be held against the monarchy ...............who knows - since she de facto indicted the Queen (until Oprah spoke to that this AM) or William or Kate or whomever with her words in front of 17 million people with what she left out....... The point is she went on TV dropped that bombshell, didn't back it up, never intended to back it up, but always intended to say it. I find her quite sketchy, and before that interview I merely found her quite dull..........ymmv

Oh honey I heard they got a $150 million Netflix deal... No wonder we have income inequality, the rich only share their wealth to other rich people. For a $150 million you could fund like 10 moderate budgeted movies to independent filmmakers. You'd probably get more subscribers doing so then funding a "royal" brat family.

It was always the others who were problems. It doesn't take a lot of effort for anyone to take Meghan's words over the monarchy's. The Royal Family has always been known for being cruel.

I think the fact that she doesn't say who is precisely the reason why it's very likely that it's a close member of the upper royal family, because it would be too damaging (her words in the interview iirc).

I was with you on the preference for more moderate funding for independent filmmakers but disagree 100% you’d get more subscribers that route. As a strictly business decision, the deal with Harry and Meghan will certainly be more profitable.

I've never understood this fascination with monarchs and princes as if we live in the Dark Ages or something. Any serious government should abolish all of their privileges and requisition most of their property, like what happened here in Greece in 1974.

I think Harry is trapped in a redeemer fantasy a bit created by himself, understandable but paranoid. Maybe he wants to repair what happend to his mother, but Diana felt excluded by Charles's indifference, in his case, such a crucial factor, doesn't exist.

Leave it to the board's own Piers Morgans to continue victimblaming Markle and discrediting her accounts. Disgusting.

The Queen has issued a statement which is waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy more complex and nicely worded than pacinoyes' extended middle finger would be (and is!) - but as always with The Queen at least since 1977......... she means it maaaaaaaaaaaaaan. "The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan."
“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.” deadline.com/2021/03/the-queen-responds-meghan-markle-statement-1234709994/

I like the wacky theory that Harry has a weird mommy issues kink and that’s why you see the pics of Meghan basically cosplaying as Diana. She’s got him by the balls
