Normally I would not use my Blog to talk about things in the news but I just have to say personally how awful I feel about the latest rants from the Montecito Two! I have not watched the Netflix series (neither did I see the Oprah Interview) but there is enough in our National newspapers to know what is being said.
Currently in the UK, USA and lots of other countries around the world ordinary families are experiencing difficulties in paying their bills, dealing with rising food prices and many other issues and yet Harry & Meghan are sitting there saying how bad their lives are, having been given £88 million for just this series, is completely and utterly tone deaf!
Sitting in their £11 million mansion in Montecito with nine bedrooms and sixteen bathrooms (I mean who needs sixteen bathrooms?). It also has a library, office, spa, gym, games room, arcade (!) movie room, wine cellar and a garage for five cars. In the grounds there is a guest cottage, tennis court, large pool, tea house and another play cottage for the children. They really are having to slum it with this very small house aren’t they?
They also keep talking about how badly Meghan was treated after the engagement, wedding and as they began doing Royal events. I do not in any way condone racisim and sadly there are still people out there who are racist but as far as I can tell Meghan was welcomed by the UK with open arms. Accusing the Royal Family of many, many things knowing that they will not/cannot respond is cowardice.
If Harry & Meghan feel that strongly about the Royal Family and the treatment they received at their hands then surely they should give up their Titles of Duke & Duchess of Sussex? However they won’t because this is the hook to catch the Netflix Execs and to “speak their truths” to keep the filthy green lucre coming in.
They have also gone further accusing the Commonwealth of being an “Empire 2.0” and basically saying that the country is oppressing these countries. Nothing could be further from the truth. One of the pictures that was used in the Netflix trailer shows several photographers pointing their lenses at something out of shot. This purports to be them taking pictures of Harry & Meghan when in fact it was a press event for the release of the movie “Harry Potter & The Dealthly Hallows” and they were taking pictures of the stars arriving and there was no Royality there at all! Now if they lie about that what else are they lying about?
I really hope that people do not believe all this pair say and Netflix stop paying them for even more programmes where they will be slinging mud at the Royal Family and the UK. Harry’s book is due to be released in January and it is already half price in our bookstores even before it is released. The Title “Spare” I think tells you all you need to know about how Harry sees himself along with the biggest chip on his shoulder. Finally I personally think that Meghan saw marrying into the Royal Family that she would be set for life and all the benefits of being Royal without actually doing a lot, but then realised that she would have to play second fiddle to the Duchess of Cambridge (now the Princess of Wales) and she could not hack that!
I think that someone should tell them that they are coming across as privileged, whiny, tone deaf individuals who really having nothing to complain about!

Honestly, when I see news about Harry and Meghan and their issues, I skip right on by. I would much prefer to hear about William and Kate and their family.
You said what I have always thought and still think about them. Megain thought she would be a princess and everyone would bow and scrape to her while she bestowed fake smiles upon the masses. I think she was furious to find that she was, and always would be, behind the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge, and would never be a “princess”. I agree that she is so jealous of Catherine, Princess of Wales, that it is driving her mad. Harry is such a sad example of a man, emasculated and totally controlled by his wife. If they truly desired to be completely out of the public eye, they should have moved to Africa and worked the rest of their lives to improve the countries on the continent they “love” so much, preferably to a locale with no electricity.
I totally agree with everything you have written about those two. From the beginning I had a wait and see attitude as some of the things she said seemed off. Like you, I have not watched the Oprah interview or the Netflix series and don’t intend to. I have a really hard time with how she treated her family especially because I think she never intended to invite any of them to her wedding except her mother. I believe the incident with her father was blown way out of proportion so she could use it as an excuse for him to not attend. She has lied about so much that can be proven to be a lie which tells me she is not as smart as she thinks she is. I just feel sorry for the royal family that they have been stuck with such a manipulative person. I do think it will all end badly.
