UnkNuk Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Okay, I'll admit it. I shouldn't have been interested in this interview but I was. The trials and tribulations of the 1%ers can grab my attention. Two main takeaways - Meghan was suicidal and someone in the Firm (or whatever they call the Royal Family establishment) was concerned about the skin colour of Meghan's baby and that may have had something to do with the decision not to designate the child a Prince. In regards to the latter story, I thought it was unfortunate that the two would not name names. As it stands, the statement smears the entire Royal Family when maybe it was just some underling in the supporting cast around them. Anyone else watch it or should this thread just vanish into the archives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cerridwen Posted March 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2021 People need to just leave this young family alone. Society seems to love nothing more than to build people up to only take great glee in tearing them down again. Surely there are more important things for people to be concerned about than what Harry, Meghan and family choose to do with their lives. They have every right to renounce the royal life and live their lives out of the fishbowl. Will society not be happy until they've destroyed them much as they did Harry's mother? Sad...just bloody sad that people have nothing better to do than tear people down just because of the colour of their skin, their birthright or the temerity of some who marry into the royal family. 5 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Warhippy Posted March 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2021 It's really interesting how "the firm" or the royal family seem to have the ability to make peoples lives hell. People who cause issue have the most crazy knack for getting in to accidents or having bad luck befall them. Meghan and Harry are an issue but somehow Prince Andrew is still protected.... 3 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I sincerely thought COVID-19 would bring the death of celebrity culture as a whole -- the Imagine singalong fiasco, for example, surely highlighted the tremendous gulf that exists between these class structures in a comical yet painful way, NO? Instead, celebrity worship has managed to reverse the public sensibility and utilize victim culture for self preservation. Meghan has now duped the public into thinking she's a victim of the Royal family. Are we 'AVIN A LAFF? She literally married into a family with a gene pool with less depth than her acting career and she's talking about racism? Did she not have Google before, or even after, the Ginger Fuhrer rode in on his clydesdale? This reminds me of Paris Hilton recently trying to cancel Letterman because he -- gasp -- made fun of her back in the day. Celebrities and (kill me) influencers want to eat the juiciest fruit but go into an absolute meltdown when you see the juice dripping down their chins. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -DLC- Posted March 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2021 It's sad that the firm is stuck in the dark ages and refuses to progress or evolve. And the media fuels all of this but it's propped up by the very people it tears down. The fakeness of it all....just smile and do your job. Time to get with the times and treat human beings as....human beings. Harry lost his mother and knows, all too well, how this could end. It's horrible that just living a happy life is so difficult....even for someone of so much privilege who has traded it all in just to try and be "normal". When you have children, that's what matters...nothing else. Good for him for having his priorities intact. Dad stopped taking his calls...how could you turn your back on your child, grown or not. What a dysfunctional mess. And yeah...the part about "how dark the child's skin would be" is disgusting. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe you've been duped by lumping all "celebrities" into one category and judging based on that. You assign "celebrity" to a human being and label according.... but really she's just a person who fell in love and now has a child....she doesn't want to become another "victim". I think you're maybe missing the point here. They're actually wanting to back away from celebrity culture...as it poses very real threat and danger to their family. I guess you have to be a parent to understand that....nothing in the world is more important. Someone who is trying to reach out because "she doesn't want to live anymore" is worth listening to. I feel like you're jaded and are missing the very real narrative here - desperation isn't fun. Royals or not...these two felt desperate. Abandoned. Isolated. Celebrity status doesn't make people immune to those things. You don't always "pick" who you fall for in this life...sometimes it just happens and you try your best to navigate the waters that come with that but no one has to stand for bad treatment. She's not a victim because a victim would stay stuck and quiet. It takes courage to do what they've done and I applaud them. No one has to live under those conditions...and I'd trade it all in too if that was the price that came with the title. "Making fun of" is a little different than racist death threats. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24K PureCool Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Oh right this aired tonight. Couldn't care less. Meghan should have known what she is getting herself into. It ain't no secret how the royal family controls everything and how brutal the British tabloids are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have heard of Diana. The question should be did Meghan hear about Diana before she signed to join the Royal Reich? I don't think there's anything wrong with assigning "celebrity" to a specific class of human beings. Classes exist, and we (mis)treat each other based on those classes all day long. At what point do we stop caring about Meghan's PR machine and instead chop her up and feed her to the poor? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of good "celebrities" out there. This sounds more like a jealous stance than a reasonable one. Why so much hatred? Not going to bother so don't bother.

Could not agree more. Also when are people going to let go of outdated institutions like the monarchy. The only queen's I have respect for just celebrated their Mardi Gras on the weekend. As I stated to my partner it was so cool to see people celebrate who they are with such joy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfgang Durst Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Haven't seen the interview, but followed the saga between the firm on one side and Meghan&Harry at the other side in the media. Based on this I think the members of the firm are deeply disappointed by Meghan's decision not to stick to the firm but live her life without her royal duties. The ties are cut between Meghan& Harry and the firm. What I don't get is that they still fight each other. On a side note I would like to mention that you folks have heard only Meghan's and Harry's version. To make a fair assessment of the situation I would really want to hear the perspective of the members of the firm, too. Finally I got the impression that Meghan & Harry are restless and might don't have a clear understanding how they want to live their lives. I give you an example: First both moved from UK to Canada , if I remember correctly and then to California. Both didn't like the way of living in California and the media reported that they would like to move again to Australia. Meghan tried to initiate some charitable projects in L.A. but failed miserably. Both still haven't found the way they want to live their lives... Given the age of both that's a tragedy.

Well said Deb I honestly did not know how to respond to Glassjaw, and still do not. All, I can say, is this world still has a ways to go......very disappointing But luckily, there are good people who remind me of the good in the world It is a shame that it bigotry and prejudice still exists 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people have to use jingoistic terms such as "the firm". They are a family of made up of rich self entitled people. Their ancestors lived off the back of people who they described as peasants. Expected those same "peasants" to die in pointless wars for king/queen and country. Jeebus even young Aussies were motivated to die in pointless conflicts in their name at one time. If they had any decency they would fade into history. Edited March 8, 2021 by Ilunga 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
