I don't see why they would need to. Everyone is doing the work for them. Seems like they are the winners in this.


I agree. The coverage has been exceedingly negative in all published sources - read the comments with each excerpt. The Taliban revelation has been regarded with serious alarm in multiple broadsheets.

I hope we can actually talk about the book and actual, linkable coverage of same and just report the posts attacking those who are putting in relevant comments. The coverage has been universally unflattering to Harry, so some posters who can’t accept that have been attacking. It’s pathetic and weird.


I wonder if Harry will put out is own statement distancing himself from this disaster saying things were taken out of context, misrepresented, unclear, etc. Will he take full responsibility or try to shift blame?


Only if public opinion turns against him.

My money is on a public announcement that he’s in a fancy wellness rehab dealing with exhaustion or some such in the next 6 months.


This is what will happen. But he will be out in time to make it to dear old dad's coronation. He will ultimately blame drugs or booze or something.


He’s never taken responsibility for anything. Why would he start now? The bad pre-Megexit press was due to racism and his family leaking stories to make W&K look better. He’ll likely blame the current negative press on his ghost writer who he’ll say took things out of context and distorted the truth. Perhaps he’ll find a way to try to blame his family for the negative press on his book.

Now that H&M have sold all the dirt they have, there’s nothing left to sell. The docuseries Live to Lead that they produced was a total flop, indicating the public’s only interest in them is the BRF drama. But as this thread and numerous news stories show, the public is getting tired of their schtick. Their window to cash in on their BRF fame is closing fast. I predict, when it’s all said and done, they’ll blow through most of their money and get divorced (let’s face it, if there’s no fortune, no social connections and a tank reputation, Meghan will lose interest with her child-like husband). Harry will then blame Meghan for orchestrating the breakup from his family and manipulating him into saying everything he has in his book and interviews. He’ll beg his family to take him back. They will, but he will live a life in public banishment like Andrew.


It was very misogynistic for the tabloids and followers to deem it Megxit and not Hegxit. It was Harry’s country and he decided to exit and leave. Meghan simply returned home. As always, blame the woman.

Sure enough they are an amazing fit and have an incredible marriage and partnership of 20 plus years versus poor stupid Harold who was stalked and catfished by a grizzled divorcee who lies about her age and has been married at least once, it is rumored twice. He was a ripe mark indeed.

Vomit inducing. Pepto anyone.

You are trying extra hard.

"Meg" is short for "Meghan" and rhymes (sorta) with Brex...."Heg"...is just dumb and not catchy lol.

Meghan is also the external factor that entered the picture and after which Harry left his country (though he did probably want to do something like that all along).

Harry had also always talked about a quiet life in Africa or something, not the Hollywood lights.

It's not that deep.

Well it does seem he might be close to her mom?


Who walked out on Megan as a child and seemed to be absent from a big part of her life. Who also appears to be where Megan got the whole grifting lifestyle she embraces. Doria is being paid to be family at this point and if the money train stops, so will she.


Where are you getting your news, the daily fail. Meghan’s parents shared custody. Meghan lived with her mom over a garage during the week and with her father on the weekend. It’s out of Meghan and her mom’s own mouth as opposed to tabloid articles claiming she grew up in the ghettos of Compton.



Yes, she was on the set of Married...with Children, every day after school. Give me a break...

And this is....from her own mouth!!

Basically the BRF uses the lower ranked royals as tabloid fodder to keep unpleasant truths and rumors from being printed about the upper royals. It is a f***ed up hierarchy. It is absolutely gross. H&M were popular in the Commonwealth. The higher ups egos couldn’t handle it. Remember when JFK went to Paris? He basically said I’m the man who accompanied Jackie Kennedy to Paris. That was smart. The BRF was stupid as was their press offices. When someone breaks free of a dysfunctional and abusive situation and get to an area where the air is free and not controlled, they start realizing just how messed up and dysfunctional their prior living situation was. They start to talk about it. All of this was predictable.

It’s like Harry came from a family where the Dad drank, screamed and yelled at mom and the kids, maybe hit some of them and they all enabled it by dressing up, making excuses, and making sure no one really knew the truth. Harry’s the kid who noticed this wasn’t happening at his friends house and decided to stop enabling the dysfunction and stop taking the abuse.


This assumes that the royal family controls the press. It does not. Harry and Megan have admitted leaking things to the media. Also note that that royal rota strongly denies claims that royal palace leaked bad press on Megan. In fact Emily Andrew’s just tweeted that the RF bent over backwards trying to protect Megan from claims of her bullying her staff, whining about having to wear a different tiara, etc.


You mean the same royal press who just two weeks ago stated that Meghan should be stripped and walked through the streets naked. The same press who said Meghan should be attacked. Yeah right, sure they did. LOL.


Do you even know what the royal rota is? You seem rather ignorant on this matter.


Not ignorant, just not a lemon like you. Notice you did not dispute the claim.

Chris Kyle had over 150 kills, wrote a book and they made a movie about it. Black Hawk Down was based on the book of a former Marine. Others have written about their war time actions, most have not. It is not a rule that it cannot be spoken about.


This Chris Kyle?

You're proving PP's point.


Did they make a movie or didn’t they. Whether Kyle overstated his kills or not is not relevant. PP said military people don’t talk about their kills or time in combat. That’s obviously not true for all of them.

2) Meghan was never cut out to be an obedient princess. She was/is a nice but ambitious and hard working woman with a vision of what she wants out of life, a clear feeling about what she believes is wrong and right, and an unwillingness to compromise herself entirely for anything or anyone. And in the end, this clashed with the institution and doomed her. She was never going to not fight back. And if you admire that quality overall you support her, and if you think she should have been thanking the gods for landing her a prince and keeping her mouth shut as she enjoyed the trappings of the royal life than you hate her.


Meghan thought that the whole institution of the BRF should be bent to suit her because she's so special. And when it didn't, she cried. She was fighting back against what she perceived as slights, but is in fact just reality: you, Meghan, are NOT as important as Kate, because hierarchy. And this hierarchy will not change based on how fabulous or glamorous or popular you are. That's why they get priceless art and you get IKEA. Both of you live in places you do not own and never will.


That’s where you are wrong. Meghan is no less important than Kate or anyone else. I agree with the poster before you, Meghan was never going to take a backseat to anyone. And she shouldn’t. It’s unAmerican. And it should be unBritish as well. Kate, William, Harry, Charles did nothing important in their life or helped others. They were just born into an institution that should have been dissolved a long time ago. She should bow to no man or woman. WTF. Do you teach your children that they are less important than others simply because of their birth.


For the love of god, why marry into the system you despise?

I'm 100% sure Meghan could not care less about attending a coronation.


Ermmmmm…..no. Coronation = royal relevancy.

Yeah, I think that was the weird part. I always assumed he'd marry some cute aristo and live a quiet life in Botswana, enjoying his family and doing light charity work. It does seem he wholesale adopted his partner's vision for his life. If he's happy, great, but I don't think anyway saw him making that particular choice for himself.

PP said they are suspicious of whatever comes out of Harry's mouth. They are right to be. Harry makes questionable claims, just like Chris Kyle did.

The military dudes who go on about their kill count are usually...off. It is not the done thing. You can find outlier examples of anything.
