It's strange. We only post pictures on our private FB page, my brother and SIL don't post pics of their kids at all. Most people we know are very careful about what they post about their children, pictures, or any information out of respect for their future selves. DCUM is a safe parenting site because it's anonymous, and people deliberately change details for privacy.

H&M don't seem to have thought about those "normal" considerations for their children.

I think the term privacy has been twisted enough. Privacy means they don't want to be stalked and hunted. At no time did they ever indicate they wanted to be out of the picture. They wanted to always still do commonwealth engagements, travel, but they wanted a " private life" not a royal life that was controlled.

But this was the job at The Firm.

I think this is where their naivete is showing. The queen, for all her faults, was right to reject their half in half out idea. Other royals have tried it (Edward and Sophie) and it was disastrous. There's no separating their royal identity and their private identity.

The family and its dynamic is not healthy
No wonder Harry wanted out
No need to paint Meghan as a child of the devil. The issues existed before she even met Harry

I liked the whole series. I think the episode on how bad the media was to Meghan was impactful and clearly detailed what was happening. Harry is a great partner to her. He seems very intune with how the media negatively portrays women and how they were using race in their attacks against Meghan.

I think Charles was feeding stories to the tabloids. I am sad for Harry that his family is more about the institution than being family to him. The Queen on down are cold, calculating and mean people.

The British monarchy is over 1,000 years old. Harry must know that and the way it’s run. He doesn’t seem very bright- nazi uniform, did poorly in school, called Pakistani soldier a racist name. He has just burned bridges with all his extended relatives for money. He will regret it one day when his kids have no connection at all with Britain and he is a pariah there.

I thought the same thing! And I don't blame her, because so am I.

Harry went the dysfunctional route. He married a woman with a family has nutso as his own and a divorce/split upbringing with a strong MIL. He seems to be repeating his own family in some ways.

I definitely think Harry was always more vulnerable than William. He was younger when his parents divorced and his mother died. He really struggled for many years after. He was ripe for manipulation.

Will chose someone appropriately groomed for the future role. Harry married for love. I am sure you are the same women who has said they will tell their kids to not marry someone from a divorced family.

I wonder how she keeps it so healthy with keratin treatments. Would love to know her routine. Far less interested in royal family gossip, ha ha.

Does she chemically straighten it or blow it out?

They seem genuinely in love.

Harry looked visibly pained at times. This is much harder on him than her. He gave up so much more--his entire family, his friends, his homeland, his identity. I do wonder if this turns south (I mean, come on, it's only been 5 years), what will happen to him. He has literally nobody in the US or really back home to lean on or discuss anything with. It's very isolating. I am actually much more worried about his mental health than hers. It's a lot.

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?

+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.

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!

They were trying to portray that they don't have it that cushy/spoiled. I think that cottage (on castle grounds) looks pretty idyllic for a pair of newlyweds. More than the walk up apartments most new, young and in love couples share.

More importantly, safety. What is remotely safe about putting your children out there for public consumption?

Do you mean like every time the Royal Family puts on a photo shoot literally on the day that every prince or princess is born, right outside the hospital?
Do you mean like every time the Royal Family has official photographers who are allowed to take photos of children on ski trips, royal yacht trips, etc.?
Do you mean like every Christmas when the Royal Family encourages photographers to take family photos outside of the church service?
Do you mean like every birthday photo that was officially released for princes and princesses?
Do you mean like every first day of school/first day of Eton photo op for the princes and princesses?
Do you mean like every royal wedding being televised and heavily photographed?

Do you mean like that?
