To me, they are like the Kardashians. I can't believe people really find them interesting in any way.

Agree totally. Apparently terminal airheadedness is no barrier to fame as long as you look good.

Velvet 12-16-2022 04:26 PM

Sad to see how a royal could fall into such a money-making trap. At one time Harry was respected and admired, now he is just plain pitied. But perhaps, I hope, he is happy.

Two Bills 12-16-2022 05:14 PM

Finished, and not welcome in UK any more.
California is welcome to them.
Broke the golden rule of the highest to lowest.
Never disrespect family in public.

If my ONLY choice on TV was M&H or to watch videos of walls of paint drying or counting nose hairs of Neighborhood dogs or cleaning the grooves of our entire laminate floors or trimming our front lawn with nail clippers or,

Well you get it.

They are despicable self centered and now extremely wealthy egotists.

Sixth in line, for a job he had no chance of getting, or cared about. No longer living off the coat tails of the family. Win win for all

Taltarzac725 12-16-2022 07:46 PM

She was good in Suits but will probably not watch this program.

They both seem like decent people for those within the orbit of English Royalty.

I can't believe Briton still worships Royal Family Parasites in 2022. Inbred Charles was unemployed for 70 years and finally landed a job as head Royal Parasite of Briton. You would think Brits would not be so primitive by now. At least the Royal Parasite Harry is trying to earn money in the free market instead of living off the taxpayer using government gun-n-jail backed force. I guess the American taxpayer does pay for their armed security whilst they demand us peasants be disarmed.

Our 'Parasites' put over £350 million into the exchequer last year after expenses.
How much does your president contribute to the US economy.
Last I read it costs over a Billion a year just to keep him.
The majority of Brits like things just the way they are.
Our monarchy have no power as such, but give the country a rallying point in both the bad and the good times.
You do it it your way, we'll do it ours, and if we do change our system, be sure, you will be the first to be notified!
Thank you:ho:

I agree. For people in our country to call the Royal family parasites is hypocritical. Our country spends a lot more money than the UK to support hundreds of parasites, many of which were never elected to any Government office.

Ah but he is still living off their coat tails. Without the royal family to bash and whine about they have absolutely nothing to talk about it.

Well said. Apologies for ignorant opinions from those who are uninformed. If not a U.K. taxpayer it is not their business.

But I do find it embarrassing that yet another American divorcee is involved in the situation, particularly in such a disruptive manner.

gmracket 12-17-2022 07:16 AM

Harry and Megan
 
Isn't it a shame that they are making money off their family. Harry should be ashamed of himself. He led a blessed life. Everyone has issues but don't televise it. You hear their side of the story but not the others. Megan is a money grabbing, naracissitic women. Stay in California because no one else wants you.

LuvNH 12-17-2022 07:46 AM

When they lose their notoriety they will end up just like the old Duke of Windsor and Wallace Simpson, two lonely people living in the shadows. They better make as much money as they can now because there is not much he can do to earn a living and I doubt she would get back into acting.

First, very few Americans are as boorish as is sometimes exhibited in these discussions. Hopefully people don't judge the majority of a population by the words and actions of an uninformed few.

Second, the UK is certainly not alone in having a titular head of state. In Europe alone. The Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Luxembourg, Monaco, Liechtenstein, and Sweden all have monarchies more or less the same as that of the UK. Asia also: the two most populous countries in the world with constitutional monarchies are Thailand and Japan, though to call Thailand's monarchy "constitutional" is a bit of a stretch as they seem to re-write their constitution about every other year.

The point is that how THEY do it is none of OUR business.

Bridget Staunton 12-17-2022 08:06 AM

airstreamingypsy 12-17-2022 08:08 AM

Such distain for people you have never met. I find it to be fascinating that so many people are so hateful toward Meghan and Harry. Go about your business, they don't care what you do, why so invested in what they do?

Has anyone ready the connection between Elizabeth II and the JFK assassination? How about her connection with the CIA? MOSSAD?

Fascinating read in the recently unsealed government docs. All there to see for anyone doing their own research.

Indeed! but that begs the question, will the public LET them? They are world-known, rich(?), young, good-looking AND living in California. There are no doubt paparazzi and semi-legitimate media buzzing around them like flies.

America seems to have a boundless appetite for such things.

I am replying in general to this thread. I never reply to this sort of thing...no Twitter or otherwise, and I never watch the Kardashians or other Reality TV, BUT, I have friends in England and rather love that country so I did watch this docuseries. I guess I see both sides of this but want to say, Harry married someone he really loves and watched the press turn against her in a most brutal manner. And the Tabloid press in the UK is particularly good at trashing people. I, for one, imagine this was rather painful for both of them. The Royal family is very good at the stiff upper lip response, but not everyone is able to manage this sort of vitriol. They are doing what they feel is right in telling their story and I just try to walk in their shoes. I would not have made it. Families can create hateful feelings and the stress of this is so awful. We should at least try to understand rather than add to the trash against them. The Royals live in extreme opulence as I have witnessed by visiting Buckingham Palace and with the country struggling so much, perhaps they might think of toning it down....no harm in that.

I totally agree, and I am shocked that people post such nasty comments about people they do not know.

She's a gold/fame digger. Wrecked her own family, now trying to wreck the royals.

I know how difficult estrangements can be in a family...hers is just as interested in their moment of fame. They are playing it in the media. I would do just what she has done.
We really barely know this woman but I would like to think Harry does and chose her for his life partner. They have to make a living and he has no training as he lived off his father's money. A very difficult transition for someone who was raised in his family. We need to be a little kinder.

jparsoneau@aol.com 12-17-2022 10:21 AM

People always love to watch other peoples misery. Like watching a train wreck live you hate to see it but you just can’t turn away. I have no interest or no curiosity in any of them. I think they’re both very sad.

vinnytalk 12-17-2022 10:29 AM

collie1228 12-17-2022 10:29 AM

And you thought we got rid of the incestuous, tyrannical, greedy British royal family with the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Think again - it's all right here in the USA in the person of
"our" royal family, Harry and Meghan.

I could care less about the so called Royal Family .My family goes back hundreds of years and are Irish catholic from Belfast and for hundreds of years like many other families have experienced being starved to death by English land lords , others forced to leave the country ,imprisoned without trials , denied good paying jobs , walled into ghettos and treated like second class citizens in there own country ,we don’t need the royal family and we don’t want them , they should just get out and leave us to be a free Ireland .

To me the problem comes mainly from them seeking publicity, if they stayed private they would get a lot less bashing. Also it is a mistake to think that telling “their” side is going to influence anyone. I think when it comes to politics people already have their opinions.

That may be true, but they are both public figures. Harry was raised as a public figure and they wish to continue their philanthropy. He was never trained for much else except the military and he cannot do this now to support his family. It was very brave of him to leave this system and to face the media scrutiny in defending his family, especially his wife. I wish I could see more compassion but then I like to think we are better versions of ourselves. The Royals made a Faustian Bargain with the press long ago, but not everyone can do this. I know how they feel about the family ignoring their plight. I have been there and it is painful, although I am not a public figure.

Pennyt 12-17-2022 12:08 PM

I guess I have a different take on this. The media has hounded the Royal family to the point of death in the past. Harry's mother Diana, for example. Harry & Meghan knew their story would be told by the press no matter what they did.... whether they stayed silent (as many think they should) or whether they spoke out. Harry did not choose to be a Royal, but he grew up under the eyes of the media for every little thing he did and saw what happened to his mother as a young boy. That would be a difficult life to live in my book. Very little privacy. Harry & Meghan chose to tell their story themselves to have some control over the information that would have been told by strangers if they didn't. I can't fault them for that. If you don't want to watch them or read their stories, then simply don't do it. It costs you nothing to choose to watch something else. I think it was a pretty gutsy thing for them to do knowing the criticism they were going to get regardless.

dwoodley1975 12-17-2022 12:11 PM
