Well that's out now.
Timing is suspicious I suppose. They may claim that since it is coming out soon they needed it to drop now.
How will it impact the current bruhaha from the other side of the pond?
I don't know.
Some will use this to carry water that this shows proof of all kinds of inherent problems but maybe not. Maybe people will recognize that you have no control over what others say because they have a family member who can and will say things which others disagree with. Those people will understand and feel sympathy.
What is good about this is that it will drive interest in PoW and PsoW because right now they will be front and center for cameras. They are professionals. They look good. And this will leave a lasting impression in people's minds.
When the show finally does appear, it will be interesting to read the reviews of how people who haven't really been following this saga view it with fresh eyes. It just may be a little too much - sugar? them? how the stars align always in a way against them? too too?
Watching it may be all some people do with that information. They are now onto the next bing.
It may also trigger people into looking for alternatives to the Sussex version of reality. They may find the constant me and victimization to be over the top? Or not credible? They may go looking and find articles of how, say, the interview had a few false statements. So it may open eyes to how things really were.
To paraphrase what was said in the trailer: something about making better or more sense to get the information from the source?
That is a shot over the bow, isn't it? Similar in some ways to the comment about not signing any papers.
It will be interesting to see things are edited. In the interview, there were a number of statements later proven to be false. NF doesn't do retractions. But they do make shows which don't always make people look as wonderful as they thought they would show up.

I do wonder if part of the latest Sussex staff departure is M&H again trying to get ahead of things, with more excuses like “Our press person did not handle the docu-tease/book press/etc in the way we would have liked, and we have let her go so we can better handle things ourselves…”
Having said that I have had enough of all the Mountbatten-Windsors - at least most of them - Her late Majesty accusing me of selfishness for failure to be injected, the King for his green Marxism, the PoW ditto as well as his throwing to the kerb of his godmother Lady H, and the DoS and his wife the Duchess for what looks to me like ingratitude on steroids. They have to go: perhaps there are some Tudors who might step up to the plate or some lesser known European Royals devoid of the awfulness of the M-Ws.
Spiderman is not associated with Christmas.
H has no history with playing Spiderman.
Little kids won't know, or care, who H is.
It makes *no* sense.
If the video was done only for the purpose of helping little kids, there was no need to raise the mask.
This was only done to get attention for himself.
And I really have to question the message anyway.
Who wants to hear that it's OK to have your best time ever when you've lost a parent? It's OK to have fun, you don't have to be sad all the time. But your best time ever? Seems a little callous?
Anyone think Marvel might issue H a cease and desist?
The OLTTs are engaged in a never-ending war; nothing can be done to stop them, they will have to run out of steam on their own without interference. If KCIII takes away the titles after the book and Fake Series is released, he will be accused of retaliation for the OLTTs telling "their truth." It's better if nothing is said by BP. Accusations not responded to drive the accusers absolutely mad. It's better to let the OLTTs to stew in their own venom.
1) issues with payroll?
2) maybe they are seeing the writing on the wall that working with the sussexes is not a good career move especially if netflix and the book bombs the sussex already tenuous reputations
3) maybe someone got hit in the head from the flying dishes when the duchass saw Princess of Wales wearing Diana’s iconic chocker.
I do hope that an action occurs from Parliament for KCIII to act - then he could make a summary statement and it would be final. The Harkles will push as long as * has breath - victimhood is her trade and she is going to play it for as long as she can.
No matter the refuting of all the lies a la the Oprah interview, there will always be someone that believes * just like now.
Once there is a final statement, The Firm can ignore the Harkles, as (hopefully) no means no, and does not require anything more. Telling the Royal Rota that in no uncertain terms would go a long way also.
I checked recent Sussex threads on LSA. Shockingly, most comments were pro-Sussex. Many were badmouthing the ladies of the View. A couple of people left comments similar to those of Opus - all Windsors are overexposed. I did not see anything that resembled tea being offered.
@Mel I thought the Spider-Man video was really lame, too. It came across as an afterthought. Scotty’s Little Soldiers deserve better.
I've known a number of people from your country, in those days they all had, as one put it, `run away', some with extraordinary stories of escape. It seemed so strange to see the tourist buses in our local car parks, once your country joined the EU, but they were such a welcome sight after some of the reports one used to hear.

Well, well, well. I particularly like the fact that it's illustrated with the photo of them walking towards the doors in BP, captioned `No one sees what's happening behind closed doors'.
Nice one, Telegraph! Dare we hope that Yahoo has turned its coat?

i think they need release any irregularities with the foundation and possible criminal charges. now that would be the best revenge. or fraud charges on over billing of clothes or renovations or other financial irregularities
Mine, also.
Anonymous asked:
Personally I feel like Tumblr needs to start playing the same game as the royal rota. We know they read here. (Hi guys!)
So if the royal reporters insist on calling Lady Hussey 'Prince William's Godmother', then Tumblr should unite and insist on calling The Duke of York "Prince Harry's Godfather."
For example, all of these articles came out in the last week:
* Jeffrey Epstein 'tried to lure' Prince Harry's Godfather to extort the Queen, prince's crisis adviser claims
* Queen's one-word response to Prince Harry's godfather's Jeffrey Epstein scandal revealed
* Prince Harry's Godfather 'furious over axe of $3m-a-year-police bodyguard' after Epstein scandal
* King Charles is Reportedly Offering an "Olive Branch" to Disgraced Prince Harry's godfather by Inviting His Ex-Wife to Spend Her First Christmas With the Royal Family in 30 Years
See how much they like Harry getting dragged in where he's innocent!
I agree. That photo of them walking out of Buckingham Palace is a private entrance, below the late Queen's apartments and used a lot by the family. They took that photo and then used it for commercial gain without permission. I also hope that the King draws a line and insists that Netflix removes the photos.
Have you seen that Netflix have also used a photo of hapless warding off photographers. It is cropped. He was actually with Chelsea when the photos were taken. Are Netflix trolling them or are the couple without morals at all?
GLOATING Harry boasted to a pal that the Royal Family would find his Oprah Winfrey interview “quite shocking”.
He also piled into his homeland, telling the friend: “Those Brits need to learn a lesson.”

PDina video that is most interesting. She shares her view of what the agenda of the duchass actually is, how she used the prince and his family to further that agenda, who her backers may be, and why the only constituents who will buy her load of crock are in America so she had to return once she had the global fame, the immense wealth, and the prince to open doors.
I think Eugenie and Jack may have let themselves be filmed for the mockumentary. There is one photo of them that looks like they are next to a beach ... behind them looks like a housing development/resort development - like where Eugenie and Jack live. Why Eugenie and Jack seemed to avoid them at the funeral is a mystery.
Holy Moly! Royals misbehaving everywhere. William throws his godmother under the bus, Charles and Camilla extend a personal invitation to a rather shady woman, the dastardly duo openly attack, and now the Wessexes are very rude.

"Hello. This is my first time leaving a comment (I cannot yet post). I research nonprofits as part of my job. I just came across a $10,000,000 donation made to Archewell in 2021 via a donor advised fund with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Donors use DAFs when they wish to remain anonymous. I don’t recall an announcement being made about this large donation to Archewell which makes me think it comes from a sketchy source. This is the only donation to Archewell I found."
Thanks for the PDina link -that's really interesting.
Her whole history with the Royals and the nation seems to boil down to: smarming her way in; then behaving atrociously to elicit our dislike; and using this against us for the furtherance of her promotion of race and class hatred - for her own pecuniary and psychological benefit.
Plug Archewell into the search box. You will see a $10,000,000 donation come up
Watch it to downvote. It is a hit piece on his family.
The DM report on the new trailer.
Not asking because I necessarily think that it should happen—I am asking because I am trying to think through the possible courses of action for the RF, including doing nothing at all and suing Netflix directly instead of engaging with the Harkles. I do not yet know what my own humble opinion would be.
I do know, based on the comments already flooding the DM, that so much in real life is consuming the British public at the moment that it is extremely offensive for them to have to stomach further complaints from the two most dishonest and disloyal people I have ever heard of.
After watching PDina last evening, I see that * is specifically targeting women of color. Therefore, she must continue to feed the narrative of being held back by the RF, because she was “black” and they were jealous of her. She is hoping that no one remembers that she only befriended or dated white people and labeled herself as Caucasian on movie industry resumes. PDina’s latest video is very revealing. Shout out to Sandie! If some of you have not checked out her YT channel, you might consider it. She is biracial herself and tells it like it is.
I just can't......
Well. One trailer isn't enough, why not two? A tad early but nothing on my various friends emails about this is dropping on Thursday to raise hype.
Claim of there is a hierarchy and then it leads into doing or saying things not true.
We all know there is a hierarchy and that his older brother gets higher rank. But does that mean that the whole structure was and is and will be set up push him down? And by proximity, his wife?
I once read that if you combine a truth with a lie, you make it stronger.
Slick editing.
This be war.
My own personal wish is that the palace could shut down the release with claims that there is too much potential for security risks so ... the men in gray suits need to watch it.

with all the focus on netflix the oxygen is out of the room for them. they are loving all the attention but it will be fleeting. still not invited everywhere. when you air your dirty laundry you have already lost the narrative and the opportunities.
The second three installments are scheduled to be released on Thursday, December 15, 2022.
It will be just in time for the Sussexes to get big lumps of coal in their Christmas stockings.

Donation to Archewell"
I found it odd that the donation made to the Harkles came from the Silicon Valley Community Foundation based in Silicon Valley. I remembered that Better Up is also headquartered in Silicon Valley and H announced to be working with this institution in March 2021. Curious! Same year as the incredible donation!
"Prince Harry joins $1bn Silicon Valley startup as senior executive
Duke of Sussex’s first formal role since ending royal duties involves ‘meaty role’ as chief impact officer at Better Up - Mar 2021"
...
I went to research SVCF and found that SVCF in 2021 made several donations to non-profit charities (Archewell fits that profile)
"Silicon Valley Community Foundation supported nonprofits with over $2 billion in grants in 2021"

The SVCF CEO, Nicole Taylor, studied at Immaculate Heart in Los Angeles, the same place where MM studied.
On your public profile,

The nuns were very tough and taught us how to be strong, independent women.

oh this is curious. Hilary Clinton honoring Countess of Wessex. ouch. the mrs may have Netflix for a hot minute but the movers and shakers aren’t giving them an ounce of attention.
@snarkyatherbest: Just think of all the upper-level executives at companies of all sizes and the other decision makers, politicians, influencers, and A-list producers, directors, actors, actresses, agents and potential investors they have never met who, if approached by the Sussexes, would run far and fast from them.
Harry and his wife have tarnished and tainted their reputations and their “brand” via their treatment of Harry’s family and others who have dealt with them that few people at these levels of life are likely to work with a pair who have reportedly been described as like working with a couple of teenagers by past collaborators and staffers.
What’s more, these movers and shakers are likely to avoid them out of concern for being publicly smeared, lied about, being labeled as racist, anti-female, abusive or any number of inaccurate negative labels by the petulant, entitled, and grandiose Sussexes who portray themselves as victims of everyone who won’t bow to their idiotic, juvenile demands.
As the royal family has learned, Harry and Meghan can’t be trusted with information and opinions expressed in personal and confidential discussions out of fear that the Sussexes will twist what was said or cherry pick specific sentences, phrases, or words and twist it into falsehoods to be used to attack them at a future date.
The Sussexes are soiling their brand with potential partners they haven’t even met yet who will avoid them like the plague.
So much for brand-building!
They needed to overshadow Sophie's award that she's getting in New York City today.
Imagine spending $5 million on publicity, and still she can't get people to like her, she can't get into celebrity circles, and she can't get invited to important birthday parties, nor special concerts.
Sorry for the late reply, I was out all day. I did watch PDina's video. I also read the comments. One stood out and this may have been mentioned elsewhere, if so I apologise. One of the comments preferred to a Christopher Bouzy - I don't recall the name - and it is old but it's important to read how *'s sugars function: he decided to capture to personal information of these Twitter accounts [Taz, Yanky Wally and Murky Meg], including their YouTube pages, put up their pictures, account information, and other personal identifiable information of the trio in a “final final final report” with the motive to intimidate, harass and force the trio to stop conversation relating to Harry and Meghan.
Ignore the petition but the comment is illuminating.
https://www.change.org/p/ask-twitter-to-suspend-christopher-e-bouzy-s-account-for-harassment
She was fairly circumspect but the things that linger in my mind are:
1. Wm told a friend that he couldn't imagine ever being able to forgive Harry for what he has done, or wtte (My interpretation: friends have been given the go-ahead to speak)
2. H alleges that there was `dirty work' going on behind the scenes at BP - staff were briefing against them.
3.H reveals the sensational news (at least to him) that there's a hierarchy in the family - KN said that was the only true thing he said. Yes, there is - and they expected to be at the top...
-----
BTW re injunctions and super-injunctions: as I understand it -Superinjunctions exist to stop the mention of injunctions and are themselves not to be mentioned. They cannot however be enforced outside the jurisdiction of British courts.
------
So as we thought, it seemsthe Press knows for certain that what some of us have long believed is true - neither A nor L came about `naturally' (in a modern sense} and that they are probably so in the old sense of `illegitimate' - even if they are genetically the children of their supposed parents, they were not born of the body.

Harry and Meghan: Piers Morgan 'traumatised' after voice used in new Netflix trailer
Sam Moore
Mon, 5 December 2022 at 2:04 pm
Piers Morgan has hit out at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix documentary about public opinion of the couple, after a new trailer was released that featured his voice.
Morgan, who has been a vocal critic of the pair for several years and left Good Morning Britain after refusing to apologise to Markle, has his voice featured in the trailer for the series.
He can be heard saying: "She is becoming a royal rock star".
Morgan has hit back at the use of his soundbite on social media, tweeting: "BREAKING: Princess Pinocchio & Prince Hypocrite use my voice to flog their ghastly new series.
"I’m traumatised by this exploitation."
Morgan then accused the couple of lying in response to a clip in the trailer: "They already tell yet another lie in the first trailer with the Harry Potter paparazzi shot.
"These two wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped them round their latte-encrusted tiaras."
The broadcaster and former journalist also responded to claims from Harry that there is a 'war against Meghan': "Says the guy waging a relentless vicious public war against his own family. Harry’s such a deluded spoiled manipulated brat."
Morgan has previously accused the couple of hypocrisy over the intimate Netflix series, saying: "Imagine bleating about privacy then doing a kiss-and-tell reality series about your private lives?
"Then imagine preaching compassion as you trash your family again?"
Markle has previously revealed that the documentary would focus on the couple, saying to The Cut it would show: "The piece of my life I haven’t been able to share, that people haven’t been able to see, is our love story."
Harry and Meghan signed a deal with Netflix that will see their production company create scripted shows, documentaries and children's programmes.
Harry & Meghan: A Global Event will air in two parts with the first being released on 8 December and the second coming a week later on 15 December.

So archewell is still not on the charity navigator sites (at least the not for profit side) and I do know the irs releasing the filings is taking longer. Have to say, I work with a foundation, everything is very above board and our wealthy donors dont want shenanigans. We have all the filing on time, we have all the data for any major donor to see. The archewell stuff, the funds of funds (setting up a foundation merely to put money into other foundations), the marketing expense to raise awareness and more funds. Sorry but it seems like one big tax dodge or possible money laundering and feel good mechanism for the uber rich. So if Archewell got $10MM, where did it go? and what did it buy (well we can guess the latter)
Its all exhausting.
Marc Benioff is a fascinating character who (according to his Wikipedia page) donates hundreds of millions every year and is a member of the board of trustees of the World Economic Forum. In October 2020, he and his wife were founding partners of Prince William’s EarthShot prize…
Somewhere in all of this information, there is a conspiracy theory. Then add in Christopher Bouzy of Bot Sentinel and we almost have a Pulitzer Prize winning book taking shape.
I know a lot of Nutties are saying what can the King do, I actually think very little in terms of stopping either of them. He needs to remove all of Mole’s titles to have any kind of effect, that will never happen as I don’t think Charles will remove his Prince title. So they will still have titles to monetise. As for William counteracting what the pair say…any tit-for-tat means you’re stooping as low as they are. It’s far better to state what they did to make Maggot feel welcome, and then state they are no longer welcome within the royal family as they themselves want no part of it. 🫤
This comment from the DM says it best…
I really think Charles should put out this statement: I love my son and daughter in law very much and after watching the Netflix program, I realize the tremendous unhappiness they have endured by being a part of our Royal Family. As such, today I will be signing the patent paperwork to revoke all titles including Prince and Princess so they can live out their lives without the burden of these titles and feel fully free from any connection to our family. Good luck Harry and Meghan and I hope you get the private life you have always said you wanted. 😃
'Dumbass thinks it’s some big revelation that there is a hierarchy in the RF. Gee, what tipped him off? That whole Line of Succession thing?'
@karla
Excellent sleuthing from you. I have no problem believing the picture drawn when I join those dots.
They have no morals at all - using footage from Piers Morgan, the Princess of Wales, and Diana, who was also William's mother. So many people are saying that they have crossed the line and there will be no forgiveness.
I don’t think anyone can strip Harry of his Prince title. I know that Queen Magrethe was able to downgrade some of her grandchildren’s status, but I’ve read that no one can do that for Harry.
H was born a prince and as far as I know, the title cannot be removed.
H was born a prince and as far as I know, the title cannot be removed.
“Although footage has been cobbled together from actual events, both related and unrelated, this is a work of fiction.”
And it should catalog the episodes under miniseries instead of documentaries.
Can the BRF petition for that and, once accomplished, call it a day? That might suffice.

No I don’t think he can strip them of their Prince titles either, which is why I said little of what Charles can do won’t change anything as they’ll still have the Prince etc title to monetise on. The copied DM comment is just wishful thinking. 🫤
I’m just so sick of the pair, the best solution is they are best ignored. There’s only so many versions of their truth they can peddle surely! 😞🥹
On another note…
So much footage of cameras etc have be used for the trailer, surely there’s copyright on those?! TBLG pointed out the Harry Potter Premiere, it makes Netflix look totally inept and clumsy! 😳🫣
Here’s the text of the PAGE SIX article about the two most recent staff departures. I have to chuckle at the part that says the Sussexes are going take over running Archewell — into the ground, that is.
Page Six 12-05-22
Meghan Markle’s podcast producer out days after Archewell chief resigns
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s head of audio has left the couple’s Archewell brand — and it remains unclear whether Markle will host a second season of her podcast, Page Six can reveal.
Rebecca Sananès, who was in charge of Markle’s controversy-stirring Spotify podcast “Archetypes with Meghan,” is moving on after just over a year at the company and is keen to launch her own project, sources said.
She is the second high-profile Archewell employee to have been revealed to be leaving in the past few days.
Sananès was brought on for the podcast and was instrumental in its creation.
It’s yet to be announced whether there will even be a second season of “Archetypes,” but we’re told if there is, the show’s current main producer, Terry Wood, would helm the podcast.
Sananès was hired in July 2021 after working for Vox Media and New York Magazine’s “Pivot” podcast, hosted by Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway. She joined Archewell in August 2021 and reported to Ben Browning, Archewell’s head of content.
In October, Sananès wrote on Instagram: “The podcast industry is severely undervaluing and under crediting the INCREDIBLY talented and hardworking producers and sound engineers behind your favorite shows.
There are fewer and fewer opportunities for creators and it is stifling the industry creatively and financially.”
She then edited the post to add: “TO BE CLEAR this isn’t about me or my current position. It’s an observation of the state of podcasting as a whole.”
It’s not known whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will continue their deal with Spotify, but one highly placed industry source told Page Six: “I think they would be happy if their contracts with Netflix and Spotify went away, quite honestly. But the question is then, how else will they make money?”
Sources told Page Six that Sananès’ departure is part of a larger growth plan for the Sussexes’ brand. The couple has already hired a replacement, Serena Regan, who was head of podcasts at Cadence 13 and bills herself as a media executive with wide experience of programing for a female audience.
The news comes days after it was announced that Mandana Dayani, who has run Archewell for less than 18 months, had stepped down from her role by mutual agreement, and will not be replaced.
In a statement, Archewell said: “Ms. Dayani was brought on during [the Sussexes’] parental leave to move the company and its projects forward … Her transition was mutually planned, with intent for The Duke and Duchess to now take full lead of their company. There will be no replacement for this position, and Ms. Dayani is fully supportive of The Duke and Duchess in their new leadership roles, and they remain friends.”
One insider who knows her said: “Mandana is a clever woman, she will continue to be in the spotlight. You always saw her with Harry and Meghan looking glossy and poised and in her heels. She has her own brand, she knows what she’s doing.”
This means the Sussexes will take “full lead” of their company as they prepare to launch their Netflix show on Thursday and Harry’s memoir in January.
The couple will be in the public eye with several upcoming events, including Tuesday’s Ripple of Hope Awards in Manhattan, at which they will be recognized for what Kerry Kennedy — president of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, the nonprofit named for her late father and who is giving out the honor — has described as having the “moral courage” to take a stand against “structural racism” within the monarchy.
Reps for the Sussexes were unavailable for comment. Page Six has reached out to Sananès and Dayani.

I wanted to add Lady C has met PDina and I’ve been listening and watching her videos for some time. H G Tudor is still a fav of mine. 😁
Observant One - Marc Benioff and Earthshot - didn't know! So did H know about Marc Benioff and Prince William's connections?
...
Snarkyatherbest - Maybe the donation is in lieu of pay? I thought about that too because,
Alexi Robichaux, the chief executive of BetterUp, not reveal how much Harry would be paid or whether he has been handed shares in the business. If so and H is still contracted to Betterup, then he may receive these donations annually or until his contract with Better Up ends?

As for the book, I suggest the title of the old series: The X-Files: H&M - The Truth Is Out There.
...
Regarding KCIII and the duo Bad Blood, if MM is NPD, I agree with Fifi La Rue, silence for her is much deadlier than answers. If I were KCIII I would go to parliament with the following proposal: Harry and MM would lose the title of DDoW, but used another to prevent MM from calling herself Princess. Their official title would be: Earl and Countess of Dumbarton!🤪
I'll bet their Fake U Series will be nominated for a Golden Globe, and Dookie and Docharse will walk the Red Carpet.
They'll show the Royal Family just who matters.
Imagine all the star-studded parties they'll be invited to.
The Royal Family will be darn sorry they didn't kowtow to Dookie and Ducharse's demands.
@RaspberryRuffle. I totally agree with you about how exhausting the toxic duo are. It’s so obvious how difficult they both are evidenced by the number of employees who come and go.
If they get by without any significant consequences, this will be a huge storm cloud over Charles’ reign.

I can't belief how ignorant they are in not realising there is such a thing as a `reverse image search'. How dim to assume that nobody would recognise, or be able to find the true sources of, at least some of the photos they 've used as illustrative evidence.
Well, it's because they are so much more intelligent than *everybody* else. Nobody else could possibly figure out how full of sh*t they are. How DARE untitled peasants question a Duke and Duchess who are the son and daughter-in-law of the King?
Now I'm all sad that I was suffering from a stomach virus and was unable to look at their vomit-inducing videos without suffering acute intestinal distress. I should probably sue Netflix for my feelings of sadness and nausea since this pile of steaming feces is their baby. I have a feeling that many other people wish to sue Netflix as well.
Well, since Harry and Meghan don't amount to much more than a couple annoying flies on a pile of sh*t, I think cutting off the money will slowly strangle them without lifting a finger. The BRF should let it be known that they will not be covering *any* of the Dumbarton's (probably considerable) debt because they are, after all, two middle-aged adults. If any businesses extended credit to them, they probably deserve to go bankrupt right along with them.
There is a wise saying: When you seek for revenge, dig two graves.

A second Netflix trailer from the Sussexes? It’s going to be ugly
If there’s not a bunker in Buckingham Palace, they might want to build one, says Hilary Rose
They’ve got the builders in at Buckingham Palace. Having just watched the trailer for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix documentary, someone should tell them to forget about the renovations. What they need is a bunker because boy, is this going to be ugly. Harry and Meghan aren’t just upset about a few courtiers or whingeing about who made whom cry at a bridesmaid fitting. That’s old news. Been there, done that, told Oprah. This time, they’re going for gold. Even after three years, two children, 16 bathrooms and a chicken coop, their rage and fury about their ten terrible minutes in the royal family is baffling.
What the trailer makes clear is that they want to blow up the whole institution and everyone in it. Harry talks about not just his wife’s infamous struggles, but “the pain and suffering of women who marry into this institution, the feeding frenzy”, while pictures of Diana, Camilla and Kate flash up. “There is leaking but also planting of stories,” he says, perhaps referring to the vicious briefing war his parents waged against each other when he was a child, or perhaps to the stories about Duchess Difficult, and the bullying allegations, which she denies, and the story about her wanting Diptyque air freshener in St George’s Chapel, which she does not. “It’s a dirty game,” he says, sadly.
In the opening sequence he ponders how hard it is to look back and think “what on earth happened?” although you might think even he could have formed a vague view by now. “There’s a hierarchy of the family,” he adds, showing an admirable grasp of how monarchy works. But that, inadvertently, shows the fundamental problem that it really doesn’t need six hours of Netflix footage to explain: he and Meghan were destined always to be the co-stars, not the stars. They would stand at the back of the balcony, not the front. They would walk behind William and Kate for ever, and it would probably be raining. Being fêted on walkabouts would never translate into cold, hard cash, freebies had to be returned and you didn’t even get your pick of tiaras. What was the point?
“I realised they’re never going to protect you,” says Meghan, who had 24/7 protection as a working royal. The trailer is both vague and direct all at once, a mishmash of people and events and footage from who knows where or when, because who cares? This is their truth, which may or may not accord with the truth, and their truth is that they were simply too wonderful for their own good, an argument with which listeners of Meghan’s podcasts will be familiar. There’s the inevitable balcony shot, and footage of more cheering crowds and someone who could be a respected TV pundit or Jeremy Corbyn saying “she’s becoming a royal rock star”. Then we cut back to Meghan, who snaps her fingers and says “everything changed”.
“I was terrified,” Harry says. “I didn’t want history repeating itself. No one knows the full truth. We know the full truth.” Whatever the truth, Netflix has, at vast expense, manufactured what it calls a global event and H&M are laughing all the way to the bank, but mostly filmed crying. Job done. The first three hours are out at 8am our time on Thursday. Take cover.
The Times article is brilliant -thanks. Let's applaud Hilary Rose: `An admirable grasp of how monarchy works' ,`maybe Harry saw his own name and got confused'; and `both vague and direct all at once', all excellent phrases which brought a much-needed smile.

SARAH VINE: Harry and Meghan are gaslighting the entire nation while lining their pockets with misery
No one knows the full truth; we know the full truth.’ With those portentous words Prince Harry ends the second trailer for his Netflix documentary, part one of which is released in full on Thursday.
Or, to put it another way, the gloves are well and truly off.
Not that anyone really believed otherwise, given the Sussexes’ recent behaviour. But there was always a faint hope they might retain some decorum; that certain areas might remain off-limits even for them.
Not so. And that sounds like a threat, as clear as it is sinister.
Two things stand out. First, the weaponisation of Princess Diana and her own experience as a royal consort in order to elevate Meghan. It’s hardly surprising: Harry has mentioned his wife before in the context of his mother, but this goes one step further.
By placing footage of the late Princess Diana alongside images of Meghan in various stages of distress, the message is clear: the two are virtually one and the same.
This is clever. Not only does it enlist (and enrage) the armies of Princess Diana fans who still, to this day, believe she was assassinated by the Royal Family and who will, no doubt, sally forth on social media to spread the gospel; it also allows Meghan to inherit Diana’s iconic status. Which is presumably rather useful when pitching victim narratives to Netflix.
But when you think about it, it’s a really cheap shot, not only because it’s effectively monetising Diana’s life (and death); but also because, let’s not forget, Harry isn’t Diana’s only son. One can only imagine how Prince William must feel about Harry appropriating their late mother in this way.
Continued...
Second, race. ‘It’s about race,’ says one of the talking heads in this trailer. Harry and Meghan left because the Royal Family — and, it would seem from this, most of the British media — are racist. Really? But I thought you just told us it was all about history repeating itself? Diana wasn’t mixed race, was she? So how can it be racist? Make up your minds, guys.
The lack of self-awareness is staggering. At one point Harry intones, in his now familiar Voice of Doom, about ‘the pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution, this feeding frenzy’.
I’m sorry? Come again? What about your constant attacks on the institution into which another woman — the Princess of Wales — married?
Or does Kate not count because she doesn’t spend all her time playing the victim, weeping and wailing about how awful her life is — but just gets on with it instead of finding fault at every turn?
Does she not count because, unlike Meghan, she has managed to make a success of being a royal consort?
The Netflix trailer starts with Harry telling us: ‘It’s really hard to look back on it and go, “What on earth really happened?”’
No, Harry, it’s not. It’s very easy. So let me spell it out for you. You and Meghan had it all: a very comfortable life complete with all the advantages of your station, the adoration of the British public, a positive platform from which to pursue your passions.
Meghan was welcomed with open arms and total sincerity; you had a £30 million wedding with cheering crowds from Windsor to Wolverhampton; Prince Charles walked Meghan down the aisle; you were part of the ‘Fab Four’, the future of the Royal Family.
The tide turned only because of your behaviour: the diva demands; the jealousy towards other royals; that baby shower; those private jets; the ingratitude; the hypocrisy; the ungracious rows over tiaras and Frogmore Cottage.
What happened, Harry, was that people started to question some of your and Meghan’s choices, and you didn’t like that.
And instead of wondering whether people might have a point when they said they didn’t much like being lectured about climate change by someone who seemed to use private air travel as an Uber; instead of checking your and your wife’s privilege (to use a phrase beloved of your new American friends), you threw a massive hissy fit and now make allegations of racism.
And here you are, gaslighting the entire nation while lining your pockets with your so-called misery. And I’m sorry, but it won’t wash. In my view it’s nothing to do with hate, and it’s nothing to do with race.
Your paymasters at Netflix may fall for this nonsense but the British public sees straight through you. That, I’m afraid, is the ‘full truth’.

Very true.
But. That was the official announcement of her situation. Her personal ideas may have been different.
Considering the holiness of those letters HRH for the members of the royal families one can ask whether the earl and countess of Wessex truly did not want they children to be a princess and a prince.
The hullabaloo of Prince Joachim of Denmarks family is a good example of the question.
Of course we know that Prince Harry is an exception of this rule. He told us so himself when his son was born.
She won’t stop till people stop giving her airtime.
All those carefully staged, posed, choreographed photos - they are not snapshots - do not inspire pity, they inspire revulsion. I would be mortified to be photographed crying/holding my head in my hand etc for the world to see and to illustrate my 'grief' and 'despair' at the way the BRF treated me. Forget the £30+M wedding, the £1M wardrobe, Charles walking you down the middle etc. With a bit of luck, more people will see through them after the Netflix horror show.
By the way, Netflix refers to the British Commonwealth. That hasn't existed for decades. Lousy fact checking, using photographs that have nothing to do with them (including of crowds when William and Catherine got married), relying on a lawyer and Bouzy to speak up for them. (Bouzy is in trouble because the media are now interested and Nate, who is suing him, is happy to supply all information he has, which is a lot.)
And I do wish the media would stop referring to scenes of her crying. In the one photo you can clearly see she is smirking behind her hand, then the next shot she hides her whole face. If your wife is genuinely distressed and crying and you whip out your phone to take photos ... you're sleeping in the chicken coop for the rest of the year.
@Magatha I love Montefester and the spell to rid us of the dementor and her demented donkey. Clever girl!

My sources at Netflix confirm that the stock photos fiasco in the Harkles’ trailers has triggered emergency meetings to address whichever images and clips have been used in the final product.

I wonder what the legal documents they all signed say about liability on fact checking? Who was covering it? One might think that whispers of the problems of the interview might have circulated in HW so as to warn NF (unless letting NF take a hit was the plan).
And, this will lead to questions of the past and any future documentaries for their final director (that first director dodged a bullet and probably bound by an NDA).
Wait, did they just hire someone recently to do fact checking?
I am wondering if NF are looking at inserting some kind of disclaimer now (aka the Crown) as they are frantically looking at legal use of every frame.
And, now that the press is a teensy bit less muzzled, the chances of MSM getting in the fake narrative action increases (many want to be the next Woodward and Bernstein).
Just think about the negative comments which didn't happen but there is some claim of how the Palace planted negative stories about them. If true, wouldn't there have been a similar rise in negative comments?
This also tells us just how moderated the articles and comments were on them have been until now on places like the DM.
I think a lot of people who might not have been planning on watching, will now watch it - to see the train wreck coming of false narratives, ott photographs, word salad making vague, vague claims but proof on the level of Big Foot level and obvious hits against specific people which may just come off as mean spirited at worse and be discounted for their obvious hate at best.
Or...down on purpose by ...???... to force Netflix to withdraw it at the last minute.
They know what they said in it. If not allowed to edit it out after the funeral, they came up with this plot to force it to not ever show?
Kinda suspicious about 3 top Archewell people quitting abruptly last week.
They wanted no part of it? They saw the storm coming?
Mm is gonna blame them for this even tho it was her idea?
Something is afoot.
Professional photo editors on that Twitter thread are saying that they were shocked at how many copyright laws were broken and that there would be major damages awarded to the copyright holders if Netflix aired the documentary as is.
Not sure they have the time to replace and edit out all the copyright infringement and just plain misleading photos.
Is it possible that the copyrighted photos in dispute were just put into the trailer to get buzz going and won't actually appear in the finished product? Trailers are cut independently of the movie production side usually and are outsourced. If MM gave the trailer company a bunch of copyrighted material, they should have done due diligence but it may not be in the final edit of the series. I can hardly imagine a highly respected documentary director not getting this right. Where the Sussexes are concerned, EVERYTHING needs to be fact-checked and quadruple-checked for permissions--can't take their word for anything.
This will be how the Suxxits distance themselves from the fallout--they will claim they didn't give permission for the disputed images or even know they were appearing.
As far as I'm concerned, Netflix can bite the dust after this--they absolutely deserve to go bankrupt after all this controversy . .it's the Markling they deserve.
You’re always going to get viewers who will watch a little to be nosey. My feeling is, the only opinions that matter when it comes to the British royal family, are the Brits and to an extent individuals from the Commonwealth countries. I do think amongst those individuals the majority just don’t care for the duo, and overall with everything going on in the world…people have far more pressing and important things to worry about than 2 sick, sad and soulless individuals who reside across the pond. 🫤
Anyone remember the movie, "The Secret," based on the book? The whole movie is composed of moving images of six seconds or less.
Diana would be appalled at the damage Harry is doing to William
The Duke of Sussex casts himself as the sole champion of the late Princess of Wales – yet continues to monetise the memory of his mother
ALLISON PEARSON
Good grief, I know The Crown takes liberties with reality, but this new series is really pushing it. Why would its writers expect us to believe a plot as fantastical as this?
Synopsis: Following the death of the family’s beloved matriarch, her son receives a warm welcome from the people but the King’s honeymoon period is short lived. Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, have secretly been filming a documentary series to honour their $100 million contract with Netflix. Having experienced the chill of public excommunication at his grandmother’s funeral, still unsure what he gets in her Will, and with Papa not returning his calls, even Halfwit Harry realises that washing the family’s dirty laundry again on eight billion TV screens might not be such a smart move. But the Sussexes are under pressure to deliver content.
“Ms Truth”, Meghan’s animated series about a little girl who travels through history having her ancestors burnt at the stake for being insufficiently feminist, has been cancelled for being uncommercial, self-righteous and just really, really annoying. At this rate, the Sussexes might have to downsize from 16 bathrooms in their Montecito mansion to a frankly unacceptable 11. Throwing Harry’s entire family under the Gold State Coach is a small price to pay to keep the cash for the globally compassionate Archewell foundation rolling in.
Meanwhile, the Prince and Princess of Wales travel to Boston for the Earthshot Prize. This long-planned event, in which William continues grandfather Philip’s environmental campaigning, is disastrously overshadowed. First, when Lady Susan Hussey, William’s godmother, is accused of racism by a guest wearing African dress to a Palace reception. Lady Hussey is swiftly dispatched, despite being less of a liability to the royals than, say, Prince Harry. Monarchists are upset by King Charles’s capitulation to a trouble-seeking race activist and his perceived disloyalty to his mother’s loyal companion of 60 years.
Before that furore has time to die down, a trailer for “Harry and Meghan. A Netflix Global Event. Volume 1” is released. By complete coincidence, it appears halfway through the Waleses’ US tour when it has maximum chance of stealing the thunder of Harry’s big brother! It turns out a photographer has been in 24/7 attendance throughout the period the Sussexes were seeking privacy, on hand to record those “casual yet intimate moments” when they are smooching in the kitchen in full evening dress. Think Boy Meets Girl photo stories from Just Seventeen magazine.
Meghan gives Harry her best eyes-glistening-with-adoration pose while the fifth in line to the throne looks like some smitten farmhand Madam has borrowed from the pig-pen.
With a crash of dramatic music, a still photograph taken in Westminster Abbey reveals the Duchess of Sussex, a picture of innocence in white, while, in the pew in front, the invariably smiling Kate is looking daggers. Cut to Meghan weeping artfully on an H blanket. (Maybe it’s the £1,260 Hermes price tag that made the poor duchess’s eyes water?)
“No one knows the full truth,” says Harry ominously, staring straight into the camera. “We know the full truth.” DUN DUN DUUUN!
Summary: Prince Harry believes he is avenging his wronged mother from whose fate he tried to save Meghan. His tell-all memoir, Spare, is published in January. The Coronation is in May. Harry has seven months to prevent his father and stepmother becoming King and Queen. Fearing further damaging revelations, will King Charles apologise for “institutionalised racism” in the Royal family in an attempt to appease his angry son and crazy narcissist daughter-in-law? Or will the Sussexes self-combust in pursuit of flaming revenge, their victim narrative turning to ash as the public sees them for the greedy schemers that they appear to be….
ENDS
Any hope the Palace might have had that this vulture-on-the-wall docu-series would be relatively innocuous has been dashed. Essentially, Harry and Meghan have produced a real-life ending to The Crown starring themselves as those cruelly-wronged, star crossed lovers, Harry and Meghan. Netflix must be cock-a-hoop. No need for auditions or any tiresome disclaimer such as they were asked to use when there was a row about the veracity of the current series. Harry & Meghan, which is available to view from Thursday, can boast that it is stronger than fiction. Because its leading man and leading lady have no need to master a script or invent scenes; they were there.
Ah, but that is to presume the couple are reliable witnesses to their own experience. Viewers will find no dissenting voices here. No Camilla, Catherine or Sophie Wessex who also “married into this institution”, which can’t have been easy, but, unlike Meghan, chose to take it in their stride and do a sterling job.
No one pressing, “Are you quite sure it was racism, Meghan? Maybe people just didn’t like you because you were a high-maintenance nightmare?” The Sussexes lose members of staff like other people lose car keys. In the summer of 2019, a Palace insider contacted me and reported “chronic, resentful feeling of inferiority combined with a love of control over her husband and a lack of reconnaissance on how the Royal family behave results in a lethal combination. Heading for another Wallis Simpson is the general verdict.” That won’t be in the series either, I bet.
“I realised they’re never gonna protect you,” Meghan says bitterly in the trailer. On the contrary. At first, “they” (loyal courtiers) bent over backwards to prevent stories about the new Duchess’s behaviour reaching the media. If they started leaking against Meghan it was after it became clear that no one was going to protect them. An internal report into the handling of bullying allegations (which the Duchess denies) will never see the light of day because Buckingham Palace said there were “confidentiality agreements”. Meghan and Harry are very hot on safeguarding and respect; just not for other people.
Harry forgets that his mother had two sons who both adored her. A devout monarchist, Diana would be appalled at the damage her younger boy is doing to his big brother, her darling “Wills”, via the institution he will one day lead. If, that is, there is a monarchy left when Harry has finished his tantrum.
It’s the hypocrisy and the vindictiveness that I find unforgivable. In a May 2016 interview with Prince Harry, Andrew Marr asked, “You are pursued - how can you possibly have a private life?”
This was the prince’s reply: “Sadly, that line between public and private life is almost non-existent any more. We [the Royal family] will continue to do our best to ensure that there is a line… everyone has a right to their privacy… Sadly, in some cases there is this incessant need to find out every little bit of detail about what goes on behind the scenes. It’s unnecessary.”
Six years later, that warm, hugely likeable young man has put a bomb under the line he said should exist between the Royals’ public and private life. Shamelessly, he hawks the shrapnel to the highest bidder. But you keep telling yourself you’re the caring one, Harry son.
Tomorrow night, the Sussexes’ Grievance Show will pander to what Harry himself once damned as the “incessant need to find out… what goes on behind the scenes”. I hope the public has grown weary of their whingeing. How helpless and how sad the King must feel as he agonises over whether to cut the prodigal son loose or leave the door ajar, as a father’s love says he must. What does the Sovereign he now is say? The late Queen would not have hesitated. In three weeks, Charles III makes his first Christmas broadcast and we will know his choice: the Crown or family, truth or fiction; which is it to be?
However, I do think that Mm would do something like this thinking she wouldn't get caught. Because she's so focused on proving her point that she has been harassed.
the deliberate distortion and doctoring of newspaper headlines in the misleading montage of British newspapers broadcast in ‘Oprah with Meghan and Harry’. Many of the headlines have been either taken out of context or deliberately edited and displayed as supporting evidence for the programme’s claim that the Duchess of Sussex was subjected to racist coverage by the British press.
How can anyone give credence to that farrago of nonsense?

It’s far more complicated than just copyright issues. If Maggot and Mole said they were harassed by the press, they’d need to back up their claims with photos as evidence to give the narrative credibility. Only they didn’t have any photos because there’s been no hounding by the press. The pair both lie, and have zero issues with lying! Remember the whole Oprah thing and the 17 proven lies and doctored photos? So production and perhaps with assistance of the duo decided to use other people’s press footage. So if other people’s photos and footage has been used throughout the series it’s a huge problem, particularly if they want credibility. 🥹
I’m sure they didn’t get permission to shoot from inside BP, there could be all kinds of fallout because someone didn’t do their due diligence or cared what the actual truth was.😟

A second Netflix trailer from the Sussexes? It’s going to be ugly
If there’s not a bunker in Buckingham Palace, they might want to build one, says Hilary Rose
As requested. Archived at: https://archive.ph/7nlTb#selection-769.0-777.92
Palace must reject Harry and Meghan ‘lies’, says former aide
Ex-employee calls for non-disclosure agreements to be lifted over Netflix series
A former Buckingham Palace employee who claims they were bullied by the Duchess of Sussex has called on the palace to hit back at the allegations that are expected to be made in the Sussexes’ Netflix series Harry & Meghan.
The former employee, who is one of many members of staff bound by a confidentiality agreement, said: “The only way to end it once for good is for us to be allowed to speak, and for the palace to firmly reject their lies.”
The six-part documentary series, which is released in part tomorrow, contains serious allegations against the royal household, including claims that the palace leaked and planted stories.
There are also claims, highlighted in a trailer that was released earlier this week, that the attacks on the duchess were motivated by racism. Some palace insiders were “seething with rage” at the allegations, according to one source.
However, one unanswered question is how the documentary will address the allegations — first reported in The Times — that the duchess bullied members of staff. A review of the allegations was conducted by an independent law firm, but Buckingham Palace refused to publish the results.
The Sussexes have denied any allegations that the duchess bullied staff.
One person said to have been bullied by the duchess, who has remained silent until now, was so outraged by the two trailers promoting the series that they have decided to speak out, albeit under conditions of strict anonymity.
“It’s emotionally draining,” they said. “It feels like there’s no end to it.”
The former employee called on the palace to “step up” by lifting all the non-disclosure agreements, and said they should “publicly respond to [the Sussexes’] attacks”.
It remains uncertain whether they will make any official response to the series, although that may change if the allegations are serious enough.
After the duke and duchess’s interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, in which they implied that an unnamed member of the royal family was racist, Buckingham Palace released a statement saying: “Some recollections may vary.”
In the latest Netflix trailer, Harry says: “No-one knows the full truth… We know the full truth.”
The former employee said: “They always use vague terms ‘the truth’, ‘my truth’, but nothing concrete is said.”
Instead the duchess uses people like the journalist Omid Scobie to convey her narrative that some people within the palace were racist, the former employee believes.
The palace declined to comment, but it is understood that they are “monitoring events closely” and do not believe there is any point saying anything until they have seen the programme.
The former employee also believes that Meghan has been trying to push other former Palace employees into breaking their confidentiality agreements so they can be taken to court.
“She knows we can’t financially protect ourselves by going to court, so she keeps pushing.
“It’s all a game for her. And she is loving it.”
Trevor Coult, the recipient of the Military Cross and a British serviceman, has been muzzled by Youtube because he was being asked by the many journalists what he thought about Spary's service in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile the alleged eco-warriors make a yuuuuuuge "carbon footprint" to travel cross-country for a meaningless award given by one of the most corrupt families in history at a ceremony emceed by a killer. You can't make this stuff up.

"Why are so many of the storylines in Meghan's narrative of her like straight out of fairytales?"
Thank you for all the articles you copy and paste here for those of us who do not have access to some of these publications.
If the Sussexes keep this up, by the time all six episodes of the whineomentary appear on Netflix and Harry’s book is published, plus if incendiary remarks are made by either Harry or his first wife at the Ripple awards in New York, that Charles is so angry he takes action to crush the Sussexes like a pair of cockroaches.

As per V Low's article in The Times.
The viper needs to think very carefully about the implications. If staff are released from their NDAs, this could backfire badly for her. I really hope they will be and will say what it was like working for TBW. Time the world heard 'their truth'.

'Diana was at fault, too': Queen's former adviser's warning to Harry and Meghan
Emma Mackenzie
·Yahoo UK royal reporter

Part 1:
A former adviser to the late Queen and the Royal Family has warned Prince Harry about courting press attention and urged him not to 'muddy the waters' by claiming what happened to his mother could happen to Meghan.
On Tuesday, Netflix released the full trailer for Harry & Meghan, the six-part docuseries that looks set to feature a number of claims about stories that were leaked to the press about the couple.
In the trailer, Harry is shown referring to the "feeding frenzy" surrounding women who marry into the Royal Family, drawing a direct line between Diana and his wife. "I was terrified", he says. "I didn't want history to repeat itself."
Dickie Arbiter, a former spokesperson for Queen Elizabeth, said Harry's mother played an active role in shaping her relationship with the press.
He told TalkTV: "I first met Diana three days before [her] wedding. I knew Diana right up until the time that she died. I worked with her and for her for five years. There are times when she did court the press.
Watch: 'Diana was at fault too': Queen's former advisor warns Harry and Meghan
"Harry says he doesn't want happening to Meghan what happened to Diana. Well, a lot of the fault was Diana's".
Arbiter explained: "She went out of her way to talk to them privately", citing that she would telephone the press.
"Let's not muddy the waters by saying 'what happened to my mother, I don't want to happen to Meghan' they have courted the media", he added.
The trailer is not the first time that Harry has compared the treatment of his wife to that of his mother.
In the 2021 Apple TV show, The Me You Can't See, Harry said: "My mother was chased to her death while she was in a relationship with someone that wasn't white and now look what's happened. You want to talk about history repeating itself, they're not going to stop until [Meghan] dies".
He also added it was "triggering" for him and said that he and his wife "get followed. Photographed, chased, harassed. The clicking of cameras and the flashes of the cameras makes my blood boil.
"It makes me angry and takes me back to what happened to my mom and what I experienced as a kid."
Both William and Harry have made public comments about how their mother struggled with press intrusion. William said in a documentary marking the 20th anniversary of her death that: "Most of the time she ever cried about anything it was to do with press intrusion".
He also said the press "lost its perspective on what was appropriate", when following Diana.
In The Me You Can't See, Harry echoed these sentiments, recalling the paparazzi chasing them in her car when he was a child. He said: "She was almost unable to drive because of the tears, there was no protection [...] and that happened every single day until the day she died."
Harry also spoke about blaming the paparazzi for his mother's death: "Here was no justice at all. Nothing came from that. The same people who chased her into the tunnel, photographed her dying on the backseat of that car."
An inquest in 2008 into Diana's death found that while the "speed and manner of the following vehicles" were a factor in causing the accident, the jury unanimously found that "the death of the deceased was caused or contributed to by the fact that the deceased [were] not wearing seatbelt(s) [and] the fact that the Mercedes struck the pillar in the Alma Tunnel". Equally, that Diana's driver's judgement was impaired by alcohol was deemed a contributing factor.
Arbiter is correct in saying that Diana did court the press. She famously collaborated in secret with Andrew Morton on his bestselling book, Diana: Her True Story.
Her former private secretary, Patrick Jephson, has also said that both she and Charles briefed the press against each other during the acrimonious breakdown of their marriage.
Excuse me while I puke...
Clearly, she never learnt how to exit a vehicle elegantly.Says it all, I suppose.
Why are so many of the storylines in Meghan's narrative of her life straight out of fairy tales? Duchess has told of a childhood of toil to match Cinderella, and being saved from a wicked sister-in-law (and stepmother) by her own Prince Charming

Are you putting money before family, Harry?': Prince and Meghan face awkward grilling from journalists about the royal family as they attend New York gala just hours before release of bombshell Netflix series.

IMO Mrs. Dumbarton looked okay; however, I did not see photos of her exiting a car. Did she show off her goods?
~ NF takes resposibility for the photos - we are telling a narrative is what I think I read. Press does this to infer what was happening. This used especially when the subject is dead. Okay.....so this is NOT a documentary - it IS a fantasy.
~ that * wants the staff who signed NDAs to be realsed and talk so that she can sue them.
~ that the "inside job' was there from the start (remember, W warned H to take it slow) and that W and is staff planted stories about *. and the comments: do these people read - it has been 25 yrs. The paps did not kill Diana.
~ that the terms racism was removed from the award at the last minute. The British Press continue to write about the Hs receiving the award for racism.
Has anyone found the transcript for the actual remarks and presentation? Just read what the press shouted to the couple and H's reaction is of a level of "let them eat cake" with that smile. SMH
She wore Diana's aquamarine ring and her sugar outlets crowed over it. Hence I was gratified to see that press for this tatty self-congratulatory "event" has to share space with the Princess of Wales looking resplendent in the Lotus Flower Tiara, aka one of the actual Crown Jewels. Rachel fails once again.
Featuring more of Rachel's patented hunched over laughing posture 'cause she's just high on life, doncha know . . or frankly, just high. Both she and H looked high AF.

Given that threat: I am sure we all have our ideas who the bullied former staff is, and I hope there is enough BRF respect there that the plea to release NDAs is seriously considered. Otherwise, it’s left to the family members and “palace insiders” to make vague statements, and there is no way the Sussex baiting will cease. I would like to see the NDAs released so there can be corroborated, concrete proof that the Sussexes are lying so this can stop.
If there is some kind of scheme behind the charities and the award, as most of us suspect, it needs to be uncovered and charges pressed at the same time. I want her, Ken Sunshine/his staff, and all of the related schemers to be exposed and held accountable. How do you Nutties see that effectively happening/do you think it’s plausible? This nonsense has to be shut down.
What’s so unacceptable is the attention it takes from the very issues such people claim to care about. Never mind the blatant hypocrisy of the Sussexes—taking a private jet, commissioning an LV dress, and pulling up in three giant SUVs.
Does anyone have scoop on attendance last night? I kept an eye on the DM’s live “red carpet” feed, and it looked as if the organizers were circling the same few “celebrities” (read: Alex Baldwin and his fake-latina wife) in front of the press pool over and over. I took that to mean a low yield on desirable attendees.

It's a detail of this:

It doesn't say much for the organisers of the event, not providing a step - or were they expecting everyone to turn up in low-slung limos? Nor does it say much for H, not making sure she won't fall. Or was * stupid enough not to check that garb matched the transport? Or was it deliberate?
It's a wonder the dress didn't stay firmly up, thanks to friction with the seat. That would have been hilarious. As it is, my husband asked `Where's Pussy?'
How did she get back in afterwards?
Did H give her a leg up?
Suggestion: get a car with a fold-away step, like my old Land Rover. More money than sense, some people.. or use a mounting block.
They certainly did look high. Of course, they were in NYC and attending an event with Kennedys, so it was inevitable.
am curious about harry and the book. will he tour. will she let him tour alone or will she be there for the readings and the interviews and interrupt him the whole time. if she isn’t with him on tour then for sure she’s entertaining at home and is working on number 4 😉
Still, showbiz royalty is here in the form of Gayle King, the powerful CBS News host, friend of Oprah Winfrey and sometime confidante of Harry and Meghan. Gayle is wearing an eye-popping lime green dress that clings to every curve and she exudes brisk in-the-know bonhomie.
Do you really think the British Royal Family is racist, I ask her?
'No I do not. And neither do they,' she says, meaning the Sussexes.
Jan Moir at the DM was there and quotes Ms King:

Thank you both!
We must give thanks to the person who filmed the Spary's entrance, and at the table.
Did anyone notice that NO ONE greeted the Mrs.? The only one who spoke to her was the waitperson.
Mrs. Dumbarton did that number with Kerry Kennedy that she does with Mr. That is, get her hands on someone to re-direct them, and act like they're both going in the same direction.
Spary, however, was surrounded by a group of men, which goes to prove that the Mrs. Dumbarton is nothing by herself, it's Hairy people are interested in. After all, he's royalty.
@ieschew: That is something! Gayle King preaching the truth. Gayle and Oprah are not the Dumbarton's friends.
* Netflix promised interviews with 'friends and family' appear in the new series
* But it has been revealed key allies will not be taking part in the bombshell show
* The likes of Oprah Winfrey, the Obamas and Elton John will not be shown
* It is thought the programme will also not hear from a single royal 'talking head'
Even H’s ‘surrogate Dad’, the music producer David Foster, is not taking part.
. . .
Moreover there will also not be a single royal ‘talking head’ in the Harry & Meghan series – not even Princess Eugenie with whom they remain close.

I'm not sure these people are friends and they're not family.
The British tabloids have been kind and only shown flattering photographs of her. I assume that the American press has not been so kind because I have come across some photos of her that show how bad the dress actually is. It's as if she wrapped a huge towel around herself, looked in the mirror, said 'nailed it' and walked out the door. It makes her look very square and she just does not have the body and beauty to carry off such a stark colour and look without jewellery ... But, considering her love for lots of itty bitty jewellery, perhaps it is better that she did not try to 'gild the lily'.
Did you notice he got soaked while protecting her with the umbrella? They can afford three SUVs and 'bodyguards' but can't afford two umbrellas?
What I have read of the speech makes no sense. But, she spoke about being 'suicidal'. I can believe she was immensely distressed in a life that she was completely unsuited for and not capable of adapting to, but she belittles and minimizes the awfulness of suicidal depression.
Someone on social media was unkind enough to take the photo showing them at their table from above and behind (he is hiding a massive bald patch) and then compare it with the royal banquet. They really have fallen in status! And I doubt they engaged with anyone at all that night. Did they even eat anything?
@ieschew
That article about what Gayle King said is mind blowing. Are they trying to walk back what they said? Everything they say and do is PR strategy to make money and get attention so it is not surprising that they should change their story if the one they have been using becomes 'inconvenient'. But perhaps Gayle has sinply seen through all the nonsense and knows they lie about everything? Anyway, the article is well worth reading.
Unfair comparison? Perhaps ... but it dies show that yet again she wore a very expensive bespoke outfit and, to put it kindly, it just did not work.
@Marnie
Thanks for those accounts from LSA. Very interesting.
So, they are sponsoring another award ... something about gender equality in student film?
The Jan Moir article didn’t pass me by either, especially that conversation There was a bit more to it that you missed…I’ve highlighted that last part below in bold text. 😁

Do you really think the British Royal Family is racist, I ask her?
'No I do not. And neither do they,' she says, meaning the Sussexes.
Then what the heck are we all doing here, eating mini mozzarella balls on sticks and wondering why host Kerry Kennedy — daughter of Robert F. Kennedy — is wearing such a short dress? Especially when she is going to sit on a stage with Meghan in a side split dress that fabulously reveals most of her legs.
It is for a good cause, for the best cause,' says Gayle. Yet not for the first time at this charitable event I have the distinctly uncharitable thought that Harry and Meghan are being given this huge, glitzy, empty award for something they did not do in a situation that did not happen. And that this beatification by the Kennedys — the closest thing America has to a royal family of its own — dovetails rather beautifully into their slick, ongoing self-justifying, self-serving, propaganda machine.
If I’d been Jan, I would have asked what good and best causes? What about what they’ve done to the royal family! I think I would have heckled the despicable pair as to why they were there what about the racism claim they made! 🤬
Someone else who was there but not in the venue. Some explosive stuff ...!
King Charles III has every right to forgive his own son anything he chooses.
But has the king also right to accept his sons insults and dishonour thrown against his british subjects?
@BarkJack reckons the hapless prince has already been cut loose by his family. In his memoir, will put sole blame for mother's death on father.
Speculation: she had to cut him off from his family so she could have complete control of him. It is the nature of her narcissism. How she did that and the stories she used are actually immaterial, hence they can change. Her end goal is all that matters to her ... complete and sole ownership of him.
Question:
King Charles III has every right to forgive his own son anything he chooses.
But has the king also right to accept his sons insults and dishonour thrown against his british subjects?
No, Charles has no right to `forgive' Harry for what he has done to me and my fellow subjects.
Nobody can presume to `forgive' the hurt done to a third party - that right rests with every individual speaking for him or herself. I for one will never forgive him and his wife for slandering and libelling me as a British subject.
Besides which, in ecclesiastical terms, forgiveness/absolution has to be preceded by penitence, of which there is nary a sign. Only the ugliest triumphalism imaginable.

I think NF inhouse lawyers are perusing the contract closely.
My question is: who had the control over the pictures - meaning who edited that stuff in?
I will have a new post out some time after the show drops so we can have all that in one place.
@ WBBM: If I were a British citizen, I would be very angry about being constantly insulted by B&B, too! I feel like Charles III must address their constant barrage. It has been painful to watch, even from an American POV. I cannot imagine how how much this hurts and angers you.
We’re all growing weary of the constant barrage of lies and insults without consequences. I hope we see some much needed level-setting in the next few weeks.

Love Jan Moir- silent auction
“If meh had not met haz…
she would be just another actress
on a silent auction date” 👌
Her white robe looked like
a wedding reception chair cover,
just needed a large pussy bow
behind 😳
Walk of Blame
Big white dentures
grin and bearing
Matched the sheet
she was wearing
Exposing her
slapper car exit
Linebackers shoulders baring
She must be past caring
Di-splaying her vulgar sl*t slit…
I imagine that a film sequence could be similar, although it is probably a matter of Performing Rights. There may be an allowance for `sampling'.
