Harry and Meghan on Netflix episodes for five and six positivity and friendly comments only please

[Anonymous]

Harry is hot.

And they don’t want to live quiet, private lives as normal people as their detractors like to repeat. They want to be philanthropists with scheduled on-camera engagements without being hounded by the media all day, every day. Lots of rich people live like that, and it’s what Diana was trying to do.

I found the documentary interesting and watched it twice just to take everything in.

It really drove home to me that Meghan is unapologetically American in every way (and has a VERY strong millenial mindset). I think they both underestimated how hard it would be for her to fit into British culture, follow the rules set forth by the press and protocol offices in the royal family, and then fit into the larger royal family (not just the "principals" but the much larger family she has to deal with).

It also made me realize how much money had to do with their exit. When Meghan got moved into that tiny cottage after the wedding it must have been a stark realization that she was among the "poor" relations. Her American striver attitude kicked in and said, hey, how can we make some money here and pay for a nicer lifestyle (which as a millennial she needs to curate and is used to posting about constantly).

I agree with your 2nd paragraph, and then in the third you just invent motivations with zero proof. There was none of that in the documentary or in any reputable news source. You have their words, and pictures and videos — all of which show a happy couple in a tiny cottage. It’s ok if you don’t like her, but why do you feel the need to invent these motivations (that conveniently make her less likable) with zero proof?

Really?? Give me a break.

And don't tell me you didn't shout back at him?...but you left that part out, right?

I do think it’s the one sidedness that bothers most. And the fact that if Charles had kept them on the dole, we wouldn’t have heard a peep. This is primarily about money and ego. They could have gone to ground, living quietly on Harry’s trust fund, and been safe. It’s crazy they are making themselves targets when they didn’t have to. The desire to be Uber rich celebrities has a price. An enormous one, in my view.

Charles’ allowance wouldn’t have afforded them their mansion and current lifestyle. They’re smart to make their own money but the constant whining is weird.

Per this ridiculous documentary which I watched the entirety of, they wanted to be working royals with the ability to make their own money. The palace did not permit this. They didn’t want to have ANY public funds, they were just thrown off because their security was taken away in the midst of Covid. Without taking public funds, the British press could no longer justify its harassment by saying that they were living off taxpayer money.

The BRF is clearly a pretty stupid, useless, outdated institution that can’t even adapt to the most trivial of changes (a black woman marrying into the family).

+1. Nobody complained about the cottage, except maybe Oprah. They complained about being hounded by the press and Meghan being cut off from access to friends, family, and mental health care. Tyler Perry is right, that’s abusive.

Hi! You are replying to me. I am an American striver too and don't know Meghan personally so I certainly don't hate her. I enjoyed the documentary and understand why they wanted out. Sorry you think being a striver is bad. You might have been a better fit for Harry!

They had a whole segment, with photos, "complaining" about the size of the cottage. Look it up. It is super tiny (like only 1300 sq. ft.). I wouldn't want to live there either!

That segment wasn’t “complaining.” Pointing out that it was a little cottage isn’t complaining. The Oprah anecdote was funny.

Yeah, that segment made them look pretty bad. I would have been perfectly happy living there!

No, they got back in touch after Samantha sued Meghan. Nice touch!

I agree with all of this. SO millennial.

Harry has had his own mental health issues so where was he when Meghan needed help? I also was surprised to hear that Harry had never met Meghan’s father before the wedding. That leads me to think that perhaps Meghan wasn’t that close to her father??

And no one would have criticized them at all...the problem is that they're making money by criticizing their family in a way that's incredibly public and insensitive.
