So is their Netflix thing done now? If the ratings are decent im sure Netflix will look for a 2nd season.

Also, the timing for this release is pretty awful, that's why sympathy is at an all time low. I mean, we live in a funny old world!

Energy prices crippling people (coldest snap we've had in years too, a cruel irony)
Strikes all over the place
Services cut daily
All that and it's the most expensive time of the year

None of that is Harry and Meghan's fault, but Christ, if they're expecting sympathy all things considered, then they're obviously deluded.

i don't think Harry and Meghans main target audience is the UK. Everything they do is to maximise their earning potential in the USA. Everything they say is targeting american sensitivities. The press here like some juicy gossip, but the majority of it is just not of interest to the uk news consumers

California, and maybe parts of New York in the east, but over all the bulk of America doesn't care a toss about them and never will.

I mean yes but let's not forget that California and New York (state) combined have roughly the same population as the entire UK... and California alone is bigger than most countries.

You’ve got to love the way people believe everything that’s written about these two in the press, because it’s coming from so called ‘experts’ and they’re perfectly fine with anybody and their mother writing anything they want about them, but yet the actual people involved with everything speak out about their experiences as they lived them and they’re the ones that these weirdos can’t trust or believe? Nah, I’ll trust the people with real lived experience over someone like Tominey who’s entire career is based purely on protecting the royal family at any cost.

Also, this whole ‘they’re milking it for their own gain cause they’ve got nothing else!!! ‘ they’re telling their story from their perspective, about their own experiences, it’s down to them to do that in any way they want too, if anybody is milking them and their existence it’s the media, the multiple random people who’ve written articles or books about them filled with conspiracy theories or made up stories, they’re the ones milking it because they need to, it gives them ratings and money and 5 minutes of fame because as we’ve seen, peoples hatred of the pair leads them to consuming every single piece of media about them, despite proclaiming to not care what they say or do, it’s a business model to spread hate about Harry and Meghan and it’s working

I thought this while watching it.

I honestly don’t know how and level headed rational person can watch this and not think ‘oh hang on a minute maybe things aren’t what they seem’

like i said earlier, Harry and Meghan are concentrating on income from the usa, thats what the Oprah interview, netflix and the books are all about. Culturally, the usa is anti monarchy, except when it matches with their Hollywood royalty, which is why Diana was popular there. Everything is about H&M making money in America, they are done with the UK

Among the various claims to come from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Netflix documentary – now the streaming service’s most watched ever – was Markle’s assertion that household staff advised her against wearing the same colour as other royals.

“You can’t ever wear the same colour as Her Majesty, if there’s a group event,”said Markle. “But then you also should never be wearing the same colour as one of the other more senior members of the family.”

That episode aired last week. On Thursday evening, multiple royals attended their Together at Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey – in conspicuously matching burgundy.

Kate Middleton wore the colour head-to-toe: earrings from Accessorize, a v-necked coat from Eponine, and Gianvito Rossi heels – and carried gloves and a clutch bag in the same tone. Her daughter, Princess Charlotte, sister, Pippa and cousin-in-law, Zara, were all dressed in similar-hued coats. Princess Charlotte’s wool coat with Peter Pan collar is from Trotters Heritage and almost soon to be sold out. Prince William and Mike Tindall completed the reddish-purple set. As collective rebuttals go, it was a bold one.

To be fair, one mockumentary underperforming wouldn't be the sole cause of Netflix not meeting its targets.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...y-fool-am.html

SARAH VINE: Last week I said I felt sorry for Harry. What a fool I am! The real arrogant, bitter, vicious Prince appears to be a rather nasty piece of work… and it's horrible to witness

Excerpt:
[Because not only is it clear that Harry is very far from a vulnerable individual, scarred by his trauma but fundamentally well-meaning; I'd say that from the footage presented, the pair of them — Harry and Meghan — also planned all this right from the start…..
……Moreover, much of it pre-dates the alleged campaign of hate and misinformation against them. It's almost as though, right from the start, they had a certain narrative they wanted to shape — and that documenting everything fed into their narcissistic little plan].
—----------------
This is what many of us have been saying all along…they had no intention of being working members of the family and wanted to make loads of money with media deals and be big noises in the US on the back of that country's love for Diana and their Royal titles.

They start filming private moments - only those that will fit in with their agenda - the many excuses to enable their exit and make it everybody’s fault but their own. This is what the interviews and ‘reality’ shows are all about. They are furious that their excuses weren't believed by the majority and are desperately trying to justify it all with their, once again, self indulgent, narcissistic, one sided scripted accounts of how horrible everyone was and how naive and hard done by and beyond reproach they were.
That’s why it isn’t working out for them, it’s all poor me me me self important fakery.
