I don't think it's a competition about who can "be the most like their husband's dead mother". They are their own individuals.

But, yeah, comparing them unfavourably to Andrew is really rational.

Her former bodyguard Ken Wharfe tonight urged Harry to get the musical pulled.

The musical also sees the Queen say to Diana: “In the old days we would have chopped off your head.”
The streaming giant is to air the sordid show despite signing Di’s son Harry and wife Meghan in the mega deal.

However, Harry was facing calls last night to stand up to his new TV paymasters and get Diana: A New Musical pulled.
The stage show details the breakdown of Charles and Diana’s marriage with swathes of vulgar dialogue and scenes of fiction…….

…...The show was previewed in New York in March — with theatregoers promised a tale about a “fearless princess who became timeless”.
However, a planned Broadway run was cancelled amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Netflix now plans to record it again this month at a New York theatre and broadcast it next year.

Ken Wharfe, 72, Diana’s former bodyguard, last night said Harry could now call on Netflix to ditch the “abhorrent” musical.
He said: “The Diana musical, soon to be premiered on Netflix, presents a huge dilemma to them both. If the critics are to be believed, this musical story is not a joyous journey of love with a happy ending but an episodic account of untruths, scandal and sex.

“Harry loved his mother dearly and has spoken of her in such loving detail recently.
“He now has the chance, irrespective of his lucrative deal with Netflix, to stand alone from his wife and make clear his abhorrence of such a musical and call Netflix to account.

“If he were to do this, his fading popularity would be guaranteed a huge resurgence.”
Representatives for Netflix and Meghan and Harry did not respond to requests for comment.

Hmmm...I wonder what he'll do.

That’s a bit weird, as part of any agreement you would expect he had it canned?

Absolutely.
Harry despised the press for exploiting his mother for profit - yet he makes a deal with Netflix who are exploiting his mother for profit.

But the price is right I guess, just like when he got paid megabucks by bankers to make a speech about how her death affected him.

Im surprised he is having anything to do with them in that case... but maybe he is getting desperate for a job

AMANDA PLATELL: Meghan Markle will make millions for herself - but Camilla will make a difference to the world

When, more than a year ago, the Duchess of Cornwall first bravely spoke out in this newspaper about the horrors of domestic violence, I doubt I was alone in wondering: What could she possibly understand about it?
And yet through her quiet and diligent work as patron of the charity SafeLives, Camilla has done more than anyone to highlight the plight of abused women.

Yesterday, writing in The Guardian, she pointed out how lockdown has caused a huge increase in the torment suffered by those trapped in these relationships.
‘Abusers work from home,’ SafeLives chillingly warns. There is nothing self-aggrandising about supporting this cause. Domestic violence is gritty and ghastly: one of the least glamorous subjects for which any royal could campaign.
Yet it could still save lives: and Camilla is clearly sincere when she implores people to ‘reach in’ if they suspect someone is a victim, not to wait for them to reach out.
Needless to say, there are no multi-million pound TV deals in this line of work.

In her dogged way, Camilla is following a long tradition of royal women — the Queen, Princesses Diana and Anne, the Duchesses of Wessex and Cambridge — who undertake charity work that is mostly unseen and unsung.

How different is the path chosen by the woman who still takes care to call herself the ‘Duchess of Sussex’ and served the Royal Family for all of two years before she decamped to Los Angeles.

As Meghan and hapless husband Harry revealed in a toe-curlingly woke statement, their new multi-million-pound deal with Netflix will ‘shine a light on people and causes around the world . . . creating content that informs but also gives hope’.
The truth is Meghan knows that if she’d stayed in the Royal Family, she could have done all those things.

But there might not have been such an enormous pay packet for being the self-appointed saviour of the universe.

This former ‘briefcase girl’ on Deal Or No Deal has now become a money-grubbing, international laughing stock.
How I wish Meghan had taken the time to learn something from Camilla, who was once the most vilified woman in Britain.

Yet through hard work, duty and, dare I suggest, a sense of humour and a level of self-awareness that Meghan can only dream of, Camilla has gradually transformed herself into someone most of us respect and admire.
Is it too late for Meghan to do the same?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/a...ifference.html
.................................................

Well said Amanda! I never liked Camilla because my sympathies lay with Diana,
but fair play to her.
Yep, too late for Meghan imo.

[Toy Soldier]

"Too late for Megan" after a few years when Camilla was vilified by the press for literal decades? kk.

[bitontheslide]

when all is said and done there are less than a handful of royals that anyone cares about. People are just not interested. Camilla is hardly an example of the public's favourite

Well exactly. Camilla was vilified by the press for decades and came through it by quietly getting on with her work, gaining respect.
Megan fled to LA, so its to late for her in the UK. She can't stick it out if she's not here, can she?

Ahh so all Harry and Megan had to do to get on the scummy UK press's good side was put up with them and quietly get on with their work for multiple decades never speaking out, and THEN they'd get some respect.

Well ****.

That's the crux of it I think TS....if only Meghan had developed her stiff upper lip and dealt with the **** the press threw at her....then, just then, maybe, we might, possibly, have tolerated her....no promises but maybe, one day, fingers crossed.

Camilla was vilified because she was Charles’s mistress, the old bat who took Diana's prince away from her, and the public loved and then lost Diana.
Why on earth do you think Meghan would have needed decades to gain the public’s respect?
Yes, Harry himself said she was well versed in what would be expected of her by himself, the Queen and palace aides. That she would not only be marrying him, but taking on a new job. She was welcomed by the people who were delighted for Harry.

Then her huge ego manifested itself when she announced she was going to modernise the monarchy. Staff were left in tears by her imperious attitude. She went through 4 Nanny’s before Archie was 9 months old ffs! She seemed to go out of her way to rub people up the wrong way. Yes, the press gave her a hard time, but they scrutinised all the young wives in their time and Meghan gave them gift after gift on a plate.
But all this could have been seen as teething problems and could have been turned around quickly enough is she so desired, by yes, quietly getting on with her work for her charities and patronages. Isn’t that what she is always on about, wanting to do good for the world? What better way to do it than in a 'firm' that has so many advantages at its disposal?

But it’s been widely believed for some time by those who would know better than you or I that she and Harry were planning their move to LA as long ago as during their engagement. She had no intention of staying in the UK, and the negative press would be a good excuse to get to LA and make loadsa money, live life among the A listers, and at the same time be seen as a victim.
....and there she is, in LA, living among the A listers and making loadsa money with a Netflix deal and seen as a victim.
She played a blinder.

...if she had not been Meghan, do you mean, Annie...if she had been more Kate or Camilla or Anne or Sarah or etc...I just cant gel with ‘comparisons’ in that way...it’s so like a parent saying to their child...why can’t you be more like your brother/your sister/your cousin etc...which is effectively saying you’re not good enough being you....whatever their decisions bring them, I’m glad that they’re both remaining true to themselves and not living the one life they have, for others...

Imagine that, in your place of work, there arrives a new lower ranked and much less experienced ‘executive’, newly married to the bosses son.
Uncaring of what the boss or anyone might think, she states that she is going to modernize the firm she has just joined.
She then goes on to ignore the rules of the particular workplace. She makes those in lower positions than herself cry with her demands and attitude.They then leave because they can’t work with her.

She is jealous of your higher position, gained by many many years of hard work, loyalty and scrutiny; she feels she should be on a par with you.
She gets fed up with people bad mouthing her moves, so decides the job isn’t for her after all.
So she writes out her resignation, stating that she expects the firm to still pay part of her salary, retain her company car and all the other perks even though she won’t be working for it anymore.
Off she goes, taking the hapless bosses son with her.
That person sounds just like Meghan.

Your imaginings sound less like reality and more like the plot of a straight to TV movie.

[thesheriff443]

They are a pair of self absorbed self pitying hypocrites.

They needed the millions to live the millionaires life style while claiming to know about real suffering.

Tell that to those on the streets or one pay check away from being on the streets they are absolute fake parasites living off the back of a royal heritage.

You should get a copy of her friend Omid Scobies biography of her (harry was just a sideline). Even he couldn’t manage to gloss over some of the realities. He tried his best though.

Every royal, duke and duchess are parasites. What makes these different is they are at least attempting to earn money rather than just being gifted it.

Yes Harry took money from bankers who hold people to ransom while talking about his dead mother to people who couldn’t care less about his mother.

If he was not part of the royal family no one would be interested in that pair of no bodies.

They are not interested in poor minoraties, just using them as a platform to get companies interested in them.

How people can be sucked into their bollox is beyond me.

That just about sums it up...
