There was a report on one of these royal programs saying how Kate feels she can't'let go ' at times, it's pretty obvious both Kate & William are happy to go along with everything because he's future king .

Why should Harry & Meghan do the same ,if anything it's time for traditions to change as it's boring .

I'm sure you meant "Stepford" - Stretford is a Manchester-area market town with terraced housing and higher than average unemployment, which is why it was amusing me

All Manchester towns have terraced housing and all the women in Stetford are pretty robotic and perfectly turned out so GH wasn't far wrong

Should have gave her the right shade then

[thesheriff443]

She probably wanted it to put over Harry’s face as he was gurning again

Little Miss Hollywood Princess is a diva? Whoda thunk

While I think celeb demands are quite ridiculous at times (worst I read, cant remember who but they would as for M&Ms in their room, but only the blue and green ones or something, so someone had to sit sorting them before they arrived!), this is hardly anything new. I have no issue believing she may be this pampered spoilt princess that the press make her out to be. Its the sheer timing of this avalanche in resurfacing now thats quite suspect. And I simply do not believe anyone who thinks the timings of these coming back up is just a coincidence.

Yes. Extremely undignified for the Royals like I said in another thread... they're totally "outed" as just a bog standard bunch of celebs with bog standard celeb drama at this point. Nothing regal about any of it . The Windsdashians

As I have said before...if these reports are true, it must be very difficult for these people to sit back and watch what they are doing...how Harry and particularly Meghan are playing the Victim card. Perhaps if Harry and Meghan had just kept quiet and got on with their lives...none of this would have re-surfaced. To do it now rather than after the interview was better timing.
Its been said that this complaint of Bullying was swept under the carpet at the time in order to protect Meghan....so all these claims she is making about not being protected and being silenced...it has no doubt prompted people to fight back.
There are always two sides to every story.

I agree....the sad thing is though if these allegations are correct, it should not have taken an Oprah interview and worries of bad press for the Royals for them to be properly investigated. No one should be deemed needing protection when other people's well being is at stake. These women are not the one's fighting back, its the Palace that have approached them NOW to pursue them when they disregarded the concerns at the time.

I know what you are saying. Can you imagine though, if all this had surfaced prior to the Wedding, just imagine the Racial accusations that would have been made. I believe it IF it did happen it was hush hushed to protect her....and since the Royals are now being accused (it looks like) of not protecting her and silencing her...its a bit of a kick in the teeth for the others involved at the time.

Oh realllyyy

Sounds like a load of BS to me ,why protect her then to now throw her under the bus ?? .

Either way the palace has shown themselves up in all this, and they look very undignified and it's frankly embarrassing.

That's not true though, from the reports in the Times. Kauuf took the story to the Times after being contacted by the women who then spoke to them at length to satisfy themselves of the veracity of the claims.
When the senior royals heard of this, they quite rightly launched an investigation, and more people have come forward to tell their story of bullying by Meghan.

Fair enough, I haven't read that far into it but it doesn't change the fact it should have been dealt with at the time. Bullying in the workplace should never be tolerated or ignored. If Meghan has done what is alleged, its inexcusable and she should have been dealt with at the time. That is just common sense and the way a responsible employer should work.

Can see this happening. However, if this IS what happened, the palace comes out of this looking horrendous, yet again. Meghan may be a diva (or may not be) but the ones who should have taken such complaints seriously and investigated at the time, instead ignored it all, only to use it as a trump card later on in life. Looks horrendous for 'the royals' really. And these leaks and such, I suspect make the royals look MUCH worse than anything that may possibly be said in the interview tbh.

If he was in the news we would be talking about him, there are several threads around the time of his car crash interview and when he was headlining if you care to look back
