Exactly "It wasn't very productive" means things are in the same place, no updates to share.

How about: “That’s private between us and the family”.
Instead of:
“It was unproductive and nobody thought to phone Meghan, tell America that on your show Gayle”!

Because she stated Harry had spoken to his brother and his father. Meghan hasn't spoken to any of them.

I suppose it prevents the "Meghan was interfering in the conversation" narrative.

Because it's a stupid story and there's more important stuff to talk about or to think about other than being outraged by silly stuff like this.

Indeed.
Nothing was revealed other than he would call his brother. But you know the difference perfectly well.

Outraged. Disgusted is the word you are looking for.

Each to their own? "Never explain never complain" is a policy of the Royals, Harry doesn't have to comply with that any more. That's sort of the point.

Nothing was revealed other than he'd now spoken to them and nothing has come of it yet.

Pretending you've learned something new is totally false.

Disgusted over something silly works too I guess. We're in a middle of a pandemic,a woman got killed by a cop and many important stuff is happening and all people can talk about is a Meghan telling us what we already know without telling us what was said? jesus christ.

it may well be a stupid story ,it may well be the truth ,but this is a forum where people comment on the news and topics of the day, the only hostility I see on here is those people who who are Megan fans not wanting to hear anything that could be seen as a negative ,and trying to belittle others ,its childish ,I have nothing against any of them but as soon as you mention something slightly negative it's the silly " Megan haters" rolled out constantly, I am not a hater but I do know she is not perfect .

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/a...mily-rift.html

I found this part of this guy's thoughts very unsettling actually, because I think Harry is not in a good place at all, and Meghan is running the show:

STEPHEN GLOVER: How on earth will lobbing yet more grenades help heal the Royal family rift?
By STEPHEN GLOVER

There is, of course, one person who can help restore Meghan’s sense of proportion, tighten her grip on reality, and rebuild bridges with the Royal Family. And that is her husband.
Harry can’t want this increasingly messy and unpleasant estrangement from those he still loves. I don’t believe he can look forward to living as a celebrity, albeit one junior to his wife, in a foreign country, forsaken by his family.


'If Prince William’s glum face yesterday was any guide, he was seriously cheesed off by the Sussexes’ breach of confidentiality. One can understand his feelings.
There were wise words yesterday from former First Lady, Michelle Obama.
She spoke of the importance of public service, and insisted that ‘there’s nothing more important than family’.
Yes, wise words. But will Meghan – and Harry in particular – listen?
I fear this story may have the unstoppable momentum of tragedy.

No one is perfect but some act like the royal family are but to be completly honest people and media are being completly toxic and nasty towards Meghan. People are labelled Meghan haters because of the OTT stuff and the behaviour of some people. The stuff that Meghan gets isn't normal.... Many celebrities have said and done really awful things but they never get this amount of criticism. It's a stupid story that shouldn't even be a big deal.

Its a big deal because Meghan made it public....now it has the publicity she intended it to have and therefore people have an opinion on it...

So another non-story built upon he said, she said and people outside of the family trying to tell us it's inner workings. I wish people were more discerning with stuff like this, so many of Meghan's haters get rinsed for clicks and ad revenue and they don't even realise it.

yup.

We already know from William a phone call would be happening and we all knew it would be non productive anyway. As i said it's not like she did a Kim Kardashian who leaked a private phone call (and edited), she never got this backlash tbh.
