Not knowing where to turn to help with their mental health...when Harry along with William and Kate support a Mental health group.
....silly me forgetting they were shackled in their cell and couldn’t escape.

Yes smiling and laughing automatically means they're fake and lying

LOGIC :notimpressed:

Because it couldn't possibly be a number of other reasons could it ?

Like relief to have gotten all this off their chests?
Or the fact it's a coping mechanism at everything that's happened ?
Perhaps even the fact they're in a comfortable space now so feeling happy/ relaxed?

But no it's always good to think the WORST

I just finished watching the whole interview , and i agree completely .

There's this very cold and stiff behaviour , and it's very sad as you can see that Harry feels let down by both his father & brother to a degree. Where was the support that they needed.

The royal firm /institution sounds very callous and toxic , sounds like utter hell what Meghan went through . And it seems other members of the royal family are happy to play the "role" and smile for the cameras like a robotic image. Not allowed to be too outspoken either .


And i don't care what anyone says the remark about Archie's
'skin complexion' clearly had a racist undertone to it , nobody was a fly on the wall. Harry didn't want to go into the details of that conversation, but you can tell it made him uncomfortable and he was taken aback by the comment made.


And i truly believe Meghan and Harry made the right decision by moving away and stepping back , especially for their mental health. It's gut wrenching to think Meghan actually contemplated suicide , she didn't deserve the hate she received.

Neither did I Jax, taped it any may watch in the future though like Haz on the bus probably won’t bother

Just said something similar in the other thread. :laugh:

They didn't know where to turn for help with their mental health? Ridiculous!

https://www.mind.org.uk/news-campaig...eads-together/

Led by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, Heads Together unites eight mental health charities, including Mind. We're very proud to be part of the team.

Since May 2016, Heads Together has encouraged millions of people to have important conversations about mental health.


This is nearly as bad as having to google the National Anthem

I believe Kate and William have already done that..

As the second child of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge she is fourth in line to the throne. On 4th May, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced that they would name their child Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. She will be formally known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.

Right well she’s not called Diana then is she

..they could call her Princess...

Definitely and for their mental health too.

The problem there was as she said, she felt a need to maybe be somewhere to have her mental health concerns addressed.

She and indeed it's likely, the rest of the Royals are not under the disgraceful restrictive rules of the Royal set up.
Allowed to independently get that help.
It also seems despite Princes William and Harry's mental health highlighting.
They haven't been able to ensure the support is there within the Royal institution.

So there's no support from the Royal institution and neither can they independently go off to get outside help, due to the royal restrictions.

That shows the Royal institution for the outdated, cruel and totally wrong place and people it is.

Good, strong reasoned post from you GoldHeart
I felt they were sincere and they've lifted the lid off something as to the Royal institution, which needed to be done.

They aren't the first to highlight problems of no support within the Royal mess that it is.
The hierarchy of the Palace staffing as to the institution too..
They'll see mental health as weakness.
As others do, then you'll have those who don't like these 2, who will just dismiss their mental health concerns..

As many do with ordinary people too.
A total lack of compassion..

They can't be reasoned with so there's no point in trying.
Because attitudes to mental health are still shocking in society from uncaring people who just see it as weakness or excuses.

That's disgusting.

If Prince William and Kate are REALLY serious about mental health issues.
Well it looks like they need to start on the home front and do what this current Monarch hasn't done in nearly 70 years..
To get set up proper and trained mental health support for Royals feeling it.
OR allow them to go and get the independent help they may need.
Which Royal protocol clearly seems to forbid, in this day and age.

Those who scoff at mental health and the people who say they are feeling it and have fears.
Are not worth wasting time on.

Mental health is still a joke to some.
For all individuals.
In the Royal institution, it seems it's preferred to ignore it.
Shocking.

Plus, of course it's a racist orientated comment.
Re Archie's likely skin colour..
Further evidence of the truly rotten attitude and prejudice that flowed from the person who said it.
Whoever it is who said that, needs naming.
Disgraceful.

No wonder they got out, well done to them.
I've always just wished them well, I'm glad they gave us these revelations of what should be the most sinister of the Royal set up.

My Mother recalled when Prince Edward was in the forces, he struggled and was upset, not able to seemingly cope with it.
He was described as being a wimp and softie and had to do it out of duty.

It seems nothing's changed as to the Royal institution's hard and cruel insensitive regime.

:joker::joker:

So, they can still call her Diana if they wished.
My Father's name was Joseph.

I have his name as my first name being the last child born.
My Brothers all have Joseph as one of their names too.

Of course they can call her Diana if they wished.
Commemorating Princess Diana isn't the exclusive right of Prince William and Kate.

I never said they couldn’t, just that Smithy seemed unaware Diana had already been honoured by William

Or the outright lie that she hardly knew her half sister when there are countless photos of them together through the years in Sam's book and the docu of the Dad & Meghan.

Surely even the staunchest of defenders must be having some doubts about Meghan's honesty and integrity? Not that they would admit it. :hehe:

I believe Katie Price and Peter Andre have already done that..

to be honest its like hearing one side of an arguiment from a collegue at work

you sit there saying "omg" "really?" "blimey, what did you say then?"

but in the back of your mind you are thinking

"aye right and if i spoke to the other person maybe id get a completely different story..."

Airing your dirty laundry in public is demeaning and always makes things worse in the end

tonight will be broadcast on all our dutch channels

Someone is asking why Oprah never challenged them on anything and I get that they wanted to put thier story across but there is always two sides isn't there and they know the palace will not do a full on interview,also someone mentioned Harry himself had to apologise for making a racist remark to a soldier so as much as I like Harry ,practice what you preach.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...d-1299804.html

I did think they might have wished Phillip well.

11.3m watched this last night. Wonder how many of them claimed they wouldn’t be?

id imagine the same who say they hate Piers Morgan but watch LIfe Stories and GMB every morning, like a drug...

:hee:

..so many memes etc today as we can imagine...just a few of the more gentle ones with Diana, I’ll post...

wow, I was expecting much higher, I guess an early night was more tempting for most :laugh:

Literally we are all prisoners, Meg can relate and only 11m tuned in lol

Which you just did about what I wrote..I didnt give an opinion so practice what you preach

Hasnt prince Edward got that one sewn up?

She wasn't there to challenge them.
This was a long planned vehicle for them to tell their story.

It wasn't a debate.

She did push, she pushed to get to the root of the lack of support for their mental health issues

She pushed to find out who made the racist comment..
To both Meghan and Prince Harry.
Prince Harry himself who it was said to, refused to identify as did Meghan.

If you were doing an interview, where you were presenting your side of an issue .
Would you expect to be challenged by the person you'd agreed to tell it to.

As for Prince Philip,Prince Harry indicated with James Corden, he still talked with him.
When was this recorded, would they even have known Prince Philip was still in hospital.

It wasn't a live interview.

However, my point, if I'd agreed to tell my story of why I'd taken some move in my life and what were the things that shaped that move..
I wouldn't expect in that chat, to have challenges to it from someone who themselves had no real.knowkedge of the internal set up.
Which both Prince Harry and Meghan certainly have.

I've had the opposite to you, I've had people wishing they'd talked more and Oprah less.

11 million is HUGE for a 9pm showing on a weeknight

Watching a TV show that happens to be presented by someone you dislike is massively different from watching an interview dedicated to a certain person though, isn't it. :facepalm:

The Prince Andrew interview got 1.7m

:whistle:

I mean, yes it's one side of the story and everything they say could be truth or half truths or lies, we could sit here and argue all day about it however for me the proof of how shabbily Meghan was treated by the press is all there in black and white (pardon the pun) Did anyone ever come out and defend her when she's getting bullied to **** by the papers? That alone tells me her story holds some water :shrug:

That's the highest I've seen ratings for a while.
The most watched thing over Christmas was the Queen's broadcast, with less than that.
Only around 8 million +

I know of a lot of people who have recorded it to watch today or later in the week.

I'm sure there's people who say they didn't or wouldn't watch it, that actually did.

I myself wasn't sure I was going to a week or so ago, however I decided I would because I wanted to hear the whole content and context all was said.
So I could comment with the fullest knowledge relating to it.

I wouldn't know I never watched as it's brazenly obvious he is a peadophile and I have no desire to indulge his bull****. Hope you enjoyed it though.

She and Harry do not read newspapers or look at them online they have stated

and I doubt anyone in the Royal Household would have said "here, Megs did you see what they said in the SUn today about you?"


The press thing is a scapegoat

They get far, far worse on Twitter which is unregulated

Im sure i get dragged very occasionally (and i mean very occasionally what with me being down with the kidz) on that discord thing but i never see it nor know how to look at it so i remain unbothered

... Crikey, the makers of The Crown must be checking their bank accounts by the moment and already planning season #2647589....I should watch it some time...

Yes.
It was also the programme they agreed to in order to present their side of their decision and why they made it.

It is clear on the vile headlines of the press and the comparisons of her with Kate.
That their claims against the press are justified.
As a court has just so ruled.

Only they know the full Royal set up of the institution they highlighted and how bad it became for them.

Of course the Palace won't accept that account, it's all shrouded in mystery.
I was only 5 when Princess Diana died, however it seems to me, the same dark, sinister and cold institution it was when she was in the Royal machinery.
Hasn't altered at all.
Nothing changed, nothing learned or dealt with.
So I too can support the view they were genuine in this interview.

I see no reason for them not to be.
After all they walked off once it reached for them a more dangerous level.
Plus it was a fully born and bred Royal too who forcefully was presenting and confirming what Meghan had indicated.
Namely Prince Harry himself.

He lived through the trauma of his Mother's death as a child, he must feel traumatised that he was then witnessing his chosen wife, heading into danger as his Mother did.

It's staggering to think the Palace wouldn't have made sure that could never have been the case.

:laugh:

It's actually pretty good and I wouldn't be one for following the Royals by a long way

...just touching on his mother’s death and his all time strained relationship with media, which is going off topic but your post made me think of it for some reason, Joey...I recall his words in an interview and felt his emotional pain so deeply when he spoke about photographers taking photographs of His mother while she was dying in the car...we just can’t imagine, can we..no matter what ‘privilege’ someone is perceived to have...

...yeah, its never appealed to me and I usually go off recommendations quite a bit and it’s been strongly recommended by so many...this is all such great news for the makers of it...:laugh:..

they were foreign paparazzi not UK doing that and they were freelance and not affiliated with a specific french title. Three were fined one Euro each
