Harry and Meghan - OP updated with Threadbanned Users 4/5/21

I don't personally agree with the race card thrown around - I don't believe the treatment of Meghan would be any better if she were 100% Caucasian. I didn't really like Meghan myself right from the start - but it has gone too far and it is a repeat of what happened to Fergie Duchess of York in the 80's, a woman as Caucasian as a Caucasian can be. I don't know if you're old enough to recall the unfavorable comparisons between her and Diana (recall the "Duchess of Pork" headlines?). I'm pretty sure the same thing will happen in another 25/30 years to whoever Louis marries. It's fair game to bully the wife of the second son apparently. But never the future King's wife - after all, those who run these newspapers either have Knighthoods, OBE's or whatever - or hope to get one in the future. So they won't dare!

Megan is the architect of her own downfall

What downfall?

Millionaires, living in Cali with their kids in a mansion. Also I assume the ginger one is about to be a left a massive wedge by Granny.

Where did it all go wrong George?

That is some assumption to make. So what you are alluding to is that Megan doesn't love Harry at all, only married into the title, fame and money. Even though she did the role for 4 years, was at the meet and greet of crowds yesterday?

The exact same assumption could be laid at the RF door. Faced with a potential changer coming in, they and the media bound together to make sure that her environment was as difficult as possible and she was made sure to be aware that she was not wanted unless she gave up all her notions of being independent.

Given how they treated Diana, the weight of assumptions is clearly on the RF as they already have done similar.

Oprah now claiming she wasn't expecting any bombshells in the interview and was surprised at the revelations. She also says she isn't one to interfere in private family matters. All she wanted to do was allow them the opportunity to explain why they left (...and make millions for Harpo). Someone needs to remind Oprah that she had editorial control of that interview and, since an unnamed family member was accused of being a racist, she could have pulled it all on principle and reimburse those who bought ad space or edit out those bits. Oprah rolled the dice on a pair of spoofers but I suppose making money off the back of it is some consolation.

Saw some close up photos of the walkabout and it does indeed look like a mic line running down Meghan's back to a square device are the front hip.

There's an identical bulge on the other side too which to me would suggest it's more likely to be part of the outfit she's wearing underneath the fitted coat.

It looks like a dart on the other side, the seam type dart, not an actual one.

I doubt she'd get away with a mic with all the security though so I don't believe it is one. The backlash if they released a recording of private moments from either the jubilee or the funeral would finish them, and they can'tbe that stupid.

The whole mic thing started when they both wore one to the event for the Invictus Games, but they clearly had cameras with them so no one thought it was private if they spoke to them.

Oh I know, it's daft the things people believe. I read that apparently the man seated behind them during the julibee was wearing something to block their signal. He did seem to be keeping a close eye on them though! He now appears to be King Charles' right hand man.

A cunning plan to place a "concealed" mic to look like a rather large misplaced nipple. 🤣🤣

That's getting into the realm of ridiculousness.

Yet she chose to marry into a family with such a history!

Bit late now for Oprah to be backing away from the content of the interview. I mean the glaring inconsistencies in the claims of racism should have been challenged more because as I’ve said numerous times on this thread, I have no time for monarchy and I think I applauded them leaving as monarchy is a weird institution, but also I don’t like the allegation of racism being thrown around, and certainly the proof needs to match the high bar to call make such an allegation, and I and others have said on this one point the evidence has been very contradictory.

And if they weren’t going to name the person then they should have said nothing because it left it sitting out there and suspicion fell on people who are completely innocent, and I really didn’t like that.

she uses her title in a way that is perfectly fine, whyy you would care about a foreign monarchy potentially being slighted a bit is very odd.

the royal family do a perfect job of devaluing themselves, all of their own accord, to sensible grown up people.
