Last Sunday, Netflix confirmed that the Duchess of Sussex’s cooking show, With Love, Meghan, was being delayed because of the Southern California wildfires. WLM was supposed to be released on the 15th, and now it will come out a few days after the Oscars in March. Clearly, the Windsors held some emergency meetings in early January and made a plan of action to try to steal Meghan’s thunder by sending the Princess of Wales out to a hospital and sending William out to day-drink in a Birmingham pub. Sources also said that the WLM delay was at Meghan’s request, and that “it was an easy decision” for Meghan in the wake of the wildfires. Well, it looks like the Windsors are fuming – royal sources wept to Richard Eden at the Mail about the postponement. You’ll never guess why they are so upset!
The Duchess of Sussex’s decision to postpone the release of her long-awaited Netflix cookery show, With Love, Meghan, because of the devastation wreaked by wildfires in her home state of California has been praised by her fans. One of her favoured publications, People, reported that Meghan ‘didn’t think twice’ about delaying the eight-part series until March.
‘I don’t think she could imagine putting out a show centered on joy and hosting when so many people in her home state no longer have homes to host people in,’ an insider sympathetically told the American magazine.
Her decision has, however, led to some wry remarks from those connected to the Royal Family, I can disclose. One friend of the royals pointed out to me this week that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex allowed their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey to be broadcast in 2021 even though Prince Philip was seriously ill in hospital. Prince Harry’s grandfather died four weeks later.
‘Meghan seemingly didn’t think twice about going ahead with the Oprah interview, did she?’ commented the royal source. Let’s not forget how deeply the interview with America’s chat show queen must have wounded the Royal Family. Meghan’s lurid accusations, including claims that the Princess of Wales had made her cry and that unnamed senior royals had raised concerns about her baby’s skin tone, would have undoubtedly hurt Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth.
Some courtiers are even wondering whether the postponement of her cookery programme is a commercial one. ‘Would people really want to watch a glossy TV show about someone’s luxury lifestyle when thousands of Americans have seen their homes and lives destroyed?’ one figure with connections to the royals asked me this week. It’s questionable whether the delay until March will make much difference to the appetite for such a programme. There will still be thousands of people homeless in three months’ time.
And the Oprah interview wasn’t the only project that the Sussexes knew would hurt Harry’s family but went ahead with anyway. They recorded their Netflix ‘docu-series’, or reality show, Harry & Meghan in 2022, when Queen Elizabeth was in rapidly declining health. That six-part programme, broadcast in December – two months after the queen’s death – worsened relations with the royals by accusing them of ‘leaking’ and ‘planting’ stories in the media. Some even felt Meghan demonstrating the extravagant curtsy she had performed for the late Queen had the effect of mocking her. The Queen had died two months before it was broadcast.
Two books have since reported that the Queen was suffering from bone cancer for a year before her death. It’s not clear if the Sussexes knew this, but they would have been acutely aware that she was increasingly frail. Yet they recorded the hurtful series anyway. Most disrespectful to the Queen were the sections of the programme devoted to denigrating the Commonwealth, the organisation close to her heart.
Harry similarly didn’t think twice about writing his tawdry memoirs while his grandmother’s health was worsening. Thank goodness that it was not published until four months after the Queen’s death, so she did not have to read about his betrayals of private conversations and vilification of her loved ones. It’s not hard to see why some close to the Royal Family would treat Meghan’s concern for the feelings of others with profound scepticism.
I actually mentioned in the WLM postponement story that the Sussexes have a history of unlucky timing. The big one, for me, was their unluckiness with the timing of the Oprah interview. To be fair to them, they had already scheduled the interview with Oprah before Prince Philip went into the hospital for the last time. To be fair, the palace used Philip’s rapidly declining health as an excuse back in 2021 to scream about how the Sussexes’ interview should be delayed. It didn’t matter, it was honestly beyond the Sussexes’ control, and I’m glad the interview went ahead as planned. I also don’t think “the Sussexes released a bunch of big projects after QEII died” is some big controversy. I really wish they had released some of that stuff when QEII was alive, you know? The Netflix show especially, I always thought that should have come out a year earlier. Anyway, this piece is just another reminder that no one is more obsessed with Harry and Meghan than the Windsors and their “friends.” Everyone in the royal establishment has been following every single thing the Sussexes do and say for years.

The tape was finished before philip got very ill. It is forgotten that philip and Elizabeth were very stressed out by Andrew being hidden out after that disastrous interview which put him under the radar of the f b i. The queen after that still invited them for visits
THE QUEEN NEVER LEFT HER VACATION WHEN DIANA DIED😮😮 THE PRIME MINISTER HAD TO INTERVENE 😮😮 TEAM SUSSEX 😍
The issue is that there’s ALWAYS something going on with the BRF. If you wait until nothing is happening to release something, it’ll never get released.
Something, as you say, is always going on (even illnesses), and even when nothing is going on, something can be manufactured and put on the calendar at the last minute, as we’ve frequently seen.
Richard Eden understands nothing. Would people be interested in a glossy lifestyle show? Um…yes. That’s why it’s a lucrative cottage industry, Richard! A lot of Americans, especially me, LOOK for that for escapism and entertainment when things are at their darkest or feel hopeless (I almost wish they didn’t postpone WLM, I would have been binging that instead of inauguration crap on Monday).
And FWIW, “betrayals of private conversations….” So they DID happen, just like everyone’s been saying. We knew that, and the RR are starting to slip that they knew it all along and everything Harry and Meghan said was true.
HeatherC – TBH when I saw it was Maureen writing for TheFail, I didn’t even bother skimming the excerpt. But when you said “betrayals of private conversations….” I had to go back and look. Wherein I discover that BRFCo’s Associates are so dim they need the help of an “insider” to find out about wildfires in CA. Most of us cannot help a sympathetic response when we see the devastation wrought by uncontained wildfires, but this bozo needs an “insider” and still can’t get a clue.
And why’s he going on about Prince Philip being in the hospital when he was 99 years old? He’d already been retired from public duties for three years by then, i.e. NOT A WORKING ROYAL. Under Chuck’s Rules, he wouldn’t have been allowed on the balcony!
As for Betty being dismayed about her beloved Commonwealth, I suspect even Harry was under educated about the history of the British Empire. Recall Meghan speaking about him learning about the collaborative process of film making? H-M signed Story Syndicate for the docuseries, so they should have known there might be uncomfortable truths. And Betty already knew some uncomfortable truths – how could she not? At the very least, Kenya.
Also, please don’t binge watch anything about the inauguration. I’m sure there are plenty of alternate activities that would be more fun or relaxing.
Harry and Meghan both wanted that interview. Meghan is always stereotyped that way as the one who wanted the interview. I recall that the schedule of its airing was not up to harry and meghan
Omg, so ridiculous. Philip was almost 100, something was going to get him, sooner or later. The same with Elizabeth. It would have been either – how dare you speak while they’re dying or how dare you speak of the dead. When it comes down to it, they were Harry’s grandparents – the question should be why didn’t he postpone the interview? What really pisses me off about all this is that Harry’s the one with the crusade. Meghan just wanted to get out of that mess alive.
Exactly!!!
Plus, during the interview, they had nice things to say about the Queen and Philip. If I recall correctly, they explicitly said that the skin colour “concerns” were not from either of them.
Small point – the comment about TQ and Philip not having been the ones with the skin color concerns wasn’t part of the interview. It was something Oprah said to Gayle the next morning on the CBS morning show on behalf of H&M, who wanted to clarify that the skin color comments did not come from either of them.
It’s as if the “woman” always “tempts” the man to do things. This is how derangers treat Meghan. Harry had a lot to say and did speak as much as Meghan did. They never badmouthed Elizabeth and Philip. What is left out is the stress caused by Prince Andrew. He does not ask why Oprah did not postpone it. Harry was unhappy for years before he met Meghan.
Sadly, it’s not just derangers who blame the woman for everything. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the Oprah interview, but my impression is that Meghan said just a few major things – that she was stressed to the point of breaking and was refused help, that the Kate “crying” story was not true but that Kate was a good person, and that somebody in the RF made a comment to Harry about Archie’s possible skin color.
After that Harry showed up with guns blazing. And I remember thinking, as Harry stumbled through his discomfort about how Meghan’s pleas for help were ignored, that Meghan gave him the side-eye as if you say “yeah buddy, you effed up a bit there, too.” I think what H&M have achieved is extraordinary and I wish them all the best, but hate that all the fingers are pointed at Meghan.
Agree Eurydice. Meghan corrected a lie that Kate, let’s be real, unleashed. But Megan, as ever gracious af, still called her a good person. If the media focuses on how Meghan attacked Kate then they are distracting away from the fact that Harry very succinctly discussed the invisible contract his family has with the tabloids. Convenient.
Nothing is mentioned about the four “senior” royals, grinning away for a photo soon before the Queen’s funeral.
Does it really matter when the Harry and Meghan documentary and Harry’s book Spare was released? Either way those gutter rats would be complaining. They simply cannot handle the truth and that the Sussexes corrected their narrative. And most importantly, they cannot handle Harry and Meghan thriving, healthy all within a loving relationship which they have no control of. Harry’s grandpa died a slow death and all knew he was dying, the man was nearly 100 when he died.
Like many from afar and near you witness the Windsor’s dancing to the tune of the Sussexes output. They exist with Sussexes on their brains. They continuously compare and contrast the Sussexes with those left behind and if they were being honest, they would be ashamed of how much propping up they have to do just to justify the expense those folks cause for a country with so many suffering.
Tell me you don’t understand how American media works, without telling me you don’t know. Meghan and Harry didn’t control the broadcast timing. They didn’t produce it. It was an interview, not their own show.
And let’s face it, the trashy British media would, at the behest of the palaces, whine about any excuse to delay something that makes them look bad.
They know how the media works, they just don’t care to let facts get in the way of their Harry and Meghan bashing narrative.
I noticed none of the royals postponed a goddamned thing after Meghan begged them for help following her suicidal ideation.
Postponing due to the fires was Meghan respecting the plight of Californians who lost so much. Postponing anything for the royal family who treated her so shabbily? No thanks.
Yes of course because the death of a man who is one HUNDRED years old is the equivalent of an unprecedented firestorm that has taken out entire neighborhoods.
Yes. Same thing. These alabaster aggressors have some nerve.
This was my thought after just reading the tag line to This post. And why are they talking about this 5 years later.
This hate campaign has left the planet in terms of the ridiculous!!! It’s beyond insane.
Right…..I have to wonder if Phillip was even aware of the interview at that point.
Considering that Philip was actively dying at the time, and QEII was in declining health herself while also coping with her husband’s illness and what she likely knew to be his impending death, I highly doubt that the Oprah interview was on their radar at all. At a time like that, would it have been on the radar of ANY of the left-behinds without the RR’s agitating?
Why should Harry and Meghan consider the Royal Family when putting out projects when the Royal Family never considered the mental health and safety of Harry and Meghan ever? The Royal Family used the Queen’s death to attack Harry and Meghan and at that time they had only done the Oprah interview. And even before the interview came out the Palace smeared Meghan by accusing her of bullying. No Meghan doesn’t have to care about the Royal Family because they never cared about her.
way before the Oprah interview, Meghan and Harry were treated very badly by some in the media.
That’s why I said the Royal Family never considered the mental health and safety of Harry and Meghan.
The queen and prince Philip had no illusions about the actual king and wannabe king. And, for all we know, they were aware of the documentary and it content, and had no problem with it.
Don’t know about Philip, but from everything Harry’s said, in Spare, the documentary, and the piece with James Corden, it’s clear he had way more communication with TQ than people like Eden (who’d never have been able to talk to her himself) would have you believe. Eden’s spouting the palace line. Harry said outright that despite media claims, no way was TQ blindsided by their 2020 decision to step back. And, despite what’s now written about how hurt she was about the Oprah interview, which they still can’t shut up about, one year later H&M were honored guests at her jubilee. There’s evidence she was being subtly manipulated in her later years, once Philip retired and Charles dumped PS Geidt to get Ed Young in there (remember when Harry said at Invictus The Hague he and Meghan had dropped in to make sure TQ had the right people around her) – but IMO that consideration, sending her own security for them, solo church entrance – had to have been done by TQ. Probably involved some quid pro quo with Charles to accomplish it. Finally, there’s the conversation Harry reported in Spare, when he and Meghan were first told by TQ she was free, come and spend the night, and later, she tells Harry they can’t, she’s now told she’s busy. She had to have known she was being lied to by staff.
So I side eye anytime I read something something about what TQ must have thought or felt. She clearly loved Harry, and had spent her lifetime in the palace. She knew how things worked, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she was pissed at how Harry (and now Meghan) were increasingly being used as scapegoats in the media by Charles/Will, especially to cover for Will and Kate’s total uselessness. I think there’s a reasonable chance she knew about Spare, and the documentary, and was more or less okay with both.
One word out of the Queen’s mouth would have saved Meghan a literal world of grief from the press. One lousy word. But she didn’t, she sat back and watched her be destroyed. As far as I’m concerned, she was just pathetic, useless and cowardly as her son and his heir. A pregnant Meghan was driven to the verge of suicide and they delighted in it. They were probably wishing and hoping for a miscarriage from the moment they heard about her pregnancy, and still the queen did nothing. That whole family aside from H & M, are garbage human beings.
@Lady D, I totally agree. The queen could have shut all of this abuse down while she lived, but she stayed silent. She indeed loved Harry and demonstrated her support with the way she sent her security for them and planned their own entrance into the Struggle Jubbly church service. But her silence as they were abused in the tabloids, as newborn Archie was mocked, as Meghan was repeatedly crucified in the press for YEARS — that silence gives me pause for thought.
I think Charles and William were why the Queen said nothing. After all the meeting with Harry ended up being a fiasco and even from Harry’s description it did not seem like the Queen was controlling much by that point.
Philip’s poor health didn’t stop anyone at the palace from running a full-on bullying campaign to try to smear Meghan ahead of the Oprah interview.
I’m finding it interesting that Eden’s royal sources are even acknowledging that the RF knew this premiere is happening and that they are following it so closely. I mean, we know it because of the timing of Kate and William’s reappearances, but it really seems like somebody at KP whined to Eden when their attempted competition with Meghan’s show didn’t come off. All that “work” for nothing!
The same people who didn’t postpone engagements for Meghan when she was feeling mentally unwell. They didn’t try to help her at all.
Just like some people appeal to low information voters, this Eden piece is aimed at folks who are vaguely interested but not paying attention to the details.
When the Sussexes had control they delayed their projects. HARRY AAND MEGHAN was delayed . SPARE was delayed.
Maureen Eden is a messier nutcase than a bag of melted Ferrero Rocher.
One hugely misogynoir individual… writing fraudulent fairytale fanfiction again.
It seems the RF have changed their motto, without anyone on the Island of Left-Behinds really noticing or caring:
Never complain, never explain – always confuse, lie and obfuscate.
Especially when talking to the British media, or about Meghan (and Harry)
Who cares about things that happened years ago? Don’t they have a princess with a questionable diagnosis and even more questionable statements that they could investigate? Or the Willionaire Slumlord?
So looking forward to Harry’s lawsuit, and the things that will come out.
I’m sure Philip would have lived another 20 years if it were not for that darn Oprah interview! The interview that he probably wasn’t even aware of, let alone watched. We all know that it was Chuck, Baldemort and FlakeyKatie that were sitting there chewing their fingers off worrying about what H&M would say. Crocmilla was probably drunk and didn’t care.
So, KP and BP can attack Prince Philip’s grandson and granddaughter-in-law through media freely when he is ill, but it is a problem when the said people respond to the attacks directly? These people are clowns.
The Oprah interview more than anything blew up Kate’s lie about the crying story. The Queen and Philip were mentioned positively for the most part and Charles already had dings against his image prior to this interview from the Diana years.
But if anyone got exposed it was Kate. Her lie was shocking and even on this site, it was nothing anyone expected. (Many considered she was hormonal from the recent birth and overreacted. But no one thought Kate would put out a complete lie.
And knowing the colour question also was from her, but wasn’t explicitly said got KP upset. We assumed it was William after the interview and even after Kate was exposed to lie about the crying, she still wasn’t assumed to be the racist asking the baby questions.
The queen and Philip were dealing with other issues. They were also in touch with Harry and Meghan over zoom so they probably had an idea how Harry felt.
It was so shocking. The gasp I let out.
I was actually shocked that people weren’t aware that Kate was the typical mean girl from the very beginning of Harry and Meghan’s relationship. Not only did she arrive at another woman’s wedding wearing off white, but her entitled mean white girl behavior throughout the wedding was blaring in every photo or video I saw of her. There is something not pure and kind about Kate when she is in any church setting and it was more obvious when Meghan was present. It seemed obvious to me that she was intimidated by this woman of color entering the scene and being better than her in every way possible. All of the leaks and attacks in the beginning were obviously coming from KP, so there was no shock as far as I was concerned.
Oh I think the Celebitchy commenters were saying Kate was a mean girl for years before Meghan showed up. But even in a group inclined to think poorly of Kate, no one ever guessed that she would have put a complete lie out in public like that.
That’s how much she crossed a line. And it explains why she continues her attempts to over shadow Meghan years after Meghan has literally left the country.
Seriously, are Meghan and Harry supposed to remain frozen in place, not doing anything lest it coincide with events in that godforsaken family??
Rhetorical question. Of course they are.
Meghan paused her podcast by several weeks when the Queen died. I had forgotten it had already started “airing” when the Queen passed away. New episodes were paused during the mourning period (it debuted in late August). Harry had to delay Spare’s publishing by several months as well. So they have delayed projects in relation to the royal family, most notably the Queen’s death. I do wish Harry and Meghan had premiered while the Queen was still alive. She was old and set in her ways and probably would have disagreed with a lot of it but it would have been good for her to know their side of things.
Prince Philip was a centenarian and he was in and out of the hospital several times the last few years of his life. He could have lived past 100 for all they knew. I wouldn’t set my schedule on the health of a frail old man. And to be blunt, he wasn’t as important as the Queen.
I’ve seen ridiculous comments that Harry and Meghan contributed to the “stress” of the Queen’s death and I’ve always been like, she was 90+ and had bone cancer. You going to try to say they gave her cancer too?
Eden would if he thought he could get away with it.
There have been those who have tried to use that to attack them but they ignore that the Queen and Philip both continued to maintain a relationship with Harry and Meghan after they left the UK in 2020 and even still after the Oprah interview. She is the one who not only invited them to her Jubilee after the Oprah interview, but she gave them her security the entire time they were there. She made sure that they had the solo procession in the church after the Oprah interview. She referred to them as “much loved members of the family” after the Oprah interview. She wrote a letter to the courts also referring to them as “ much loved members of the family” and asked for the courts to continue to allow them to have the protection they need when in the UK. It was the Queen, if I remember correctly, who had to call Harry and tell him that Philip died, so if she had an issue with them, I can’t imagine she would have been the one calling them. It’s obvious that the Queen didn’t have an issue with them giving the Oprah interview because she still had a relationship with them even weeks before her passing.
She knew they told the truth but she was too old and ill to intervene to stop the rest getting rid of them
All I have to say is that I’m super excited for Meghan’s show to air and my credit card is ready to purchase whatever she has to sell and donate to whoever she suggests!!!
So Eden is attacking Meghan for delaying the Netflix series that she executive produced in partnership with Netflix.
It’s false equivalence to compare with an interview scheduled to air on CBS (it was subsequently reported that CBS would have paused it if Philip had died). And delaying it until after his death – nobody at the time knew when that would be, btw – means it would have aired at a more upsetting time for QEII.
The proof that Eden and his so-called royal insiders spew any old nonsense is that he also attacks them for delaying their own docuseries and Harry’s book (where they were better placed to make that decision) until after the death of QEII.
The Sussexes had no control over the Oprah Interview because they didn’t produce it, Oprah and CBS did, but weren’t the H&M series and Spare delayed because of the Queen’s death? I can’t imagine the original plan was to release the book in January AFTER Christmas shopping was done(though it didn’t matter because it still broke records anyway). I have a feeling the show was supposed to be released in October and the book in December and they pushed it back just like they paused the Archetypes podcast when Betty died in September.
LOL at how he is lambasting the docuseries for accusing the royal family of planting and leaking stories, while a few paragraphs above he talks about an “insider” and then specifically says “the royal told me….” tell us again how they don’t plant stories Maureen???
Fr!!!!
It is my most sincere hope that H&M are working on a series about: “The Dirty Secret About Abuse Within Families.” It would be right up their street and fall smack dab in the middle of their wheelhouse.
It could be presented in a similar fashion to The Me You Cant See. It would be a fact-based series; narrated by a well-respected, globally-known and magnetic voice; with prominent psychologists and other mental health professionals offering research and stats-based information; with interviewees from both prominent as well as ordinary families telling of their experience of abuse within their own families and how their abuse manifested itself and how they have dealt or are dealing with it; and, the piece de resistance: both M and H, individually, participating as interviewees and telling their story of abuse within their own families, how they dealt with it and the repercussions.
Because it seems to me that altho most onlookers can see DARVO at work from the way H’s family and the institution, with their collusion with the corrupt media, are treating H&M, its important that it be pointed out in no uncertain terms.
Of course, legal would be heavily involved in ensuring that theres no libel.
I strongly want this docu-series to happen because I’m so sick and disgusted with how those fuckers on Shithole Island are pushing narratives that make H&M the bad guys for telling of their experience in that fucking cult. Its obviously bad for H&M and their children to continue to be abused, persecuted and gaslit like this but it would also place this major, 21st century mental health phenomenon front page on the global stage.
I meeeeeeaaaaannnnn!!!!! Check out this abomination:
“Meghan’s lurid accusations, including claims that the Princess of Wales had made her cry and that unnamed senior royals had raised concerns about her baby’s skin tone, would have undoubtedly hurt Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth.”
WHAT THE F!!!!!!
That institution is very experienced in manufacturing and pushing narratives about their members who have become inconveniences, which have stuck and been accepted as the truth. Look at the mental-health-problems narrative against Princess Diana; which theyve also tried against H; and the stories about Wallis Simpson, which theyre hoping to become attached to M.
Those fuckers need to be stopped!
Amazing it ignores how piers actually named names
We are not going to pretend as if Harry and Meghan weren’t silent that entire year prior to the Oprah interview. The interview that only happened because during that year they both remained silent about the RF, the RF and their media friends attacked them mercilessly with lies and propaganda. The biggest and most damaging of lies being the one that Kate allowed to continue for years, that Meghan made her cry. Kate allowed that lie to continue to be used as fuel against a pregnant Meghan during all three of her pregnancies, even when she and those at KP knew that a pregnant Meghan was struggling mentally and contemplating suicide, they allowed the abuse to continue. Kate’s willingness to allow that lie to continue for years is why
We also aren’t going to pretend as if during the time of the Oprah interview other things weren’t happening, like the palace’s convenient release of the bullying claims against Meghan THREE DAYS BEFORE THE OPRAH INTERVIEW. At the same time they are singularly trying to blame Meghan for not canceling or postponing a JOINT interview while Philip was in the hospital, THEY RELEASED THE LIE ABOUT MEGHAN BULLYING STAFF without concerns of how it would also affect family. They weren’t concerned about family when they learned not only about her miscarriage but that she was once again pregnant. No concern with how their attacks could possibly lead to another miscarriage or a woman contemplating suicide again.
Apparently the only family that matters are the white ones who didn’t marry a woman of color because they are allowed to keep leaking and telling lies while Harry and especially Meghan are expected to allow lies to be said about them without defending protecting themselves.
If the timing of the Oprah interview and their docuseries were so whatever, why didn’t they just ban them in the UK to later dates? After all, anything else the royals don’t want done doesn’t get done.
I wish the brf and bm would get the message that the rest of the world doesn’t have the attachment to the UK royal family that they do.
Eden’s just a lapdog who will write anything on royal command. Are we supposed to pretend we don’t know these latest attacks on Meghan are meant to unsettle Harry as his London court battle against Eden’s media pals is about to restart? This is just another royal command performance to throw Harry off his game and doubles as yet another poorly designed smokescreen meant to protect the elephants still lurking in the room – Andrew’s unsavoury escapades and conniving cancer Kate’s pointless games. Perhaps Eden could busy himself making excuses for his favourite slum landlords, Charles and William. There must be a story in there somewhere, that proves Meghan’s entry into Harry’s life caused Charles to rip off essential services for millions of pounds in annual rents.
🎯
Yet nothing is said about keen posing for fashion photographs at Philips funeral.
That stunt was trashy as hell. Had Meghan done something similar, we’d never, ever hear the end about that particular slap of the Queen’s face. Yet we keep hearing how Keen never puts a foot wrong.
Maureen says what, now?
Even if I were a BRF supporter, I would hate to have someone who writes like such a nasty, petty, sniveling worm on my side.
It’s absurd to make the Oprah interview and Netflix doc as being about “hurting the royal family.” Those two programs only exist because the BRF was actively hurting Meghan and Harry. Oh, is the accusation that Kate made Meghan cry “lurid”? Because it was the BM (based on tips by the BRF) who first accused Meghan of making Kate cry — was it lurid when the BM did it? Was it perhaps *more* lurid because it was a lie? If the BRF/BM hadn’t lied, Meghan wouldn’t have had to tell the truth. But Meghan did not originate that tale. It’s just as absurd to say that being accused of racism — or, more accurately, being related to someone who is accused of racism — is worse than being the direct target of racism.
Piling on about her yet-to-be-aired show is even stupider. Food insecurity spiked in the UK in 2023, should the Great British Bake-Off have been canceled in response? How dare the royals host banquets! It’s more apt to say that the BRF should be ashamed of themselves living in dozens of palaces when the UK has a chronic housing shortage.
Finally, Spare was not tawdry. It corrected the tawdry lies that the BRF had been braying to the public for years if not decades, without any concern for Meghan or Harry’s feelings. Funny how their feelings are never considered, only the feelings of the BRF count. And while I don’t have any feelings one way or the other for QEII, at the end of the day, if toward the end of her life she heard some unsavory things about her own family, we know it certainly wasn’t the first time, and there is no reason why she shouldn’t be held accountable for what she said and did (or failed to say or do) doing her lifetime.
Don’t want people to write negative things about you in their memoir? Treat people better.
@Lover – Thanks for mentioning the Great British Bake-Off. Kaiser posted an article about rota rats wailing about the garish colors (presumably of the set, clothing, and props) on With Love, Meghan. Gimme a break! Have they never watched the Great British Bake-Off?!? Talk about garish colors!
