New Netflix documentary: "Live to Lead" from Harry and Meghan

[Anonymous]

This actually looks... really good?! Can't believe they were able to get RBG before she passed, and I absolutely LOVE Bryan Stevenson and Jacinda Ardern.

Wow, this looks great!

I've decided that it's no use tuning into all of the hate in the presses and social media around this couple. They've been treated horrendously and unfairly, and are clear that, however corny, they are genuinely passionate about philanthropy and social change (and yes, I'm well aware of the critiques of those things, as well).

I will simply support them silently. Will definitely check this out, and will also be reading Harry's memoir.

How are they still the Duke and Duchess when they stepped down from the royal family? Why do we call them prince/princess if they are dukes/duchess?

If William is now the Prince of Wales, is there a new Duke of Cambridge?

Just because they are not "working royals" does not mean they are not part of the family.

Let's say there's a family-run business. Brother decides to leave the business with his wife. They're still "brother" and "sister-in-law". Them leaving the business doesn't mean the paternity bloodwork is going to start coming out different.

Prince William is still the Duke of Cambridge. He just goes by his higher title now.

If I leave the company I lose my title of CFO though.

No. They all have multiple titles.

jeez- its not actually business, its was a joke to call it the firm.. how do people not get this?


second.. I dont see that they actually got access to any of these people to interview them directly, the documentary could just be using other footage and interviews. Just b.c they chose to their documentary series on these individuals doesn't mean these individuals are involved in any way. I mean they obviously dont have interviews from nelson Mandela, even though I believe his foundation is involved.

I am not a hater, I think the vitriol is obviously racist but they are kinda attention hogs. I see why that is though- prince harry has no other trade, he doesn't know how to do anything other than be a gentleman/celebrity so this is really hard and he's married to a rather typical UMC striver. my moms parents were independently wealthy and my father just couldn't deal with how they spent their days. I remember he'd always be off taking nap bc he didn't know what to do with himself and he absolutely loved them, so it wasn't avoidant behavior- he was just bored. He always said that he could never live like that, I think Megan is like that- she needs something to do. If you watch the crown, the rest of the family spent a lot of time just indulging in leisure pursuits. Its like being retired at 30- some ppl like it but a lot of DCUM would lose their minds.

Not quite the same. This is a hereditary monarch, based on bloodlines. They lost the title of HRH, but the fact that they are Prince (and technically Princess) and Duke/Duchess is based on familial relations.

It actually is a business, and calling it "The Firm" is standard practice within those circles.

It's funny, people demand that they work for a living but then get up in arms when they're actually trying to do so and make an impact.

I don't know how Netflix executives decide which celebrity to use as "producer" for which production but this should help H & M's brand and establish themselves as activists. People can only listen to an over privileged middle age child whining about his family for so long.

The Crown is fiction.

I thought they were pretty clear that they weren't "whining" about his family per se. They take issue with the British tabloid press primarily, and also the way the household is complicit in that.

We also need to stop saying it's whining when people speak out on something. My two cents. For example, I don't think Chanel Miller is whining when she speaks out. Ditto to Caroline Flack. Or Monica Lewinsky.
