[NSC] The Interview of the Century

[Eeyore]

What are your views on his statement about how Princess Anne (and her children) conduct themselves day to day?

I know nothing about them apart from what I am fed by impartial media.

So I know nothing about them and cannot offer any thoughts.

I have even less interest apart from naturally wishing them well.

 

[Eeyore]

So the Royals are basically just the Kardashians of the UK at this point, right?

You're probably right. It sells advertising.

Maybe the fictitious person asking about the baby’s skin colour was worried that it’d come out ginger.

Without the racism card their argument is no more than simple petulant whining , yet they wont say who said it . If you go on world tv to accuse , then pony up the culprit/s , or as you yanks say " sh*t or get off the pot "

It must have been Charles.
The comment was made in a discussion about security cover, or the removal of the same. This could only have involved the Queen or Charles, no other Royal would have been senior enough to influence a decision as important as that.

We’re told the Queen didn’t make the comment, ergo it must be Charles.


Also, they have made a special point of saying it wasn’t the Queen or the Duke of Edinburgh.
No mention has been made of it not being Charles.

does timeline work for security cover? that discussion only ever came up after baby and they were off to Canada.

It really is pathetic rubbish

The colour of my son was discussed as cause of concern to whether they would have tittle. Said to you. No Harry

Harry pitches up. No the conversation was happened before we married.

Right ok you weren't even married let alone she pregnant and likely to have been during the time he had a relationship with his brother. William could easily have said jokingly you're a ginge she's black bloody hell wonder what you two would produce? Simple lads chat, maybe maybe not.

But between the two of them the main story of racism didn't happen in the same timeframe and that's put authenticity of the claim in question.

As far as tittle that's been said by many their kids would not be entitled to a tittle until Charlie gets the crown.

She didn't know what she was getting into, as in the Royals, sorry you must be one thick tit then. There's not a cat in hells chance you weren't briefed and told what to expect by the "firm". Failing that the ginge thicko may have told you, maybe

The end

I suspect she’s spoken a lot of truth, albeit mostly not that surprising, no matter how unpleasant it sounds. But it felt to me like an initially convincing performance was gradually let down by inconsistencies in Harry’s account (such as the question over the baby’s skin tone, as you’ve referenced). There were a couple of lines in there, the Little Mermaid analogy for instance, which felt overly polished and contrived.

It also struck me that this was, in spite of Megan Markle’s comments, very much her move. The exit from the royal family, the interview. When Harry was speaking ‘candidly’ in the chicken coop about his brother and father being trapped, his words just felt like they weren’t his own; as if they had been drummed into him by someone else. I’ve seen similar things in my own dysfunctional family, and I found it jarring and familiar in equal measure. He’d had 30 years to reach the same conclusion before this relationship began. He hadn’t.

Towards the end, she also seemed far more comfortable and relaxed than he did. Of course, it’s his family they’re slagging off to a global audience, but still, she appeared to have enjoyed the experience in contrast to Harry’s apparent duress. Like a successful “fúck you” had been dispatched.

Of course, this is only my reading of the situation on the basis of one interview - I may have it completely wrong. One thing I’m confident of though, in contrast to Meghan’s closing comments, is that this hasn’t had, and will not have, a happy ending. Which is sad, frankly.

That does follow , i just find their accounts especially hers totally Hollywood and very dubious . I think the idea that Archie would not be titled because of his skin colour is BS , if that were the case they would never have allowed the marriage , or her title !

Can't have it both ways Harry says the colour of the baby was before they were even married and her pregnant. Meghan said it was about the child and his tittle in the same sentence. It can't be both

 

[dadams2k11]

**** the Royals, and **** the establishment.

The Media going to partys at the Palace and the Royals toe the line in case their merky ways get out to the world.

Still think Harry as turned his back as he knows he ain't actually royal blood and Charles knows he ain't his son so easy to cut him off.

Bah! Foiled again.

Still, 300 plus posts. Crodo has excelled himself with his this time.

 

[BadFish]

Give it 20 years or so and they'll be a good film about all this.

although having said that the creators of The Crown must be thrilled with the current events.

Maybe an early buy up for their entertainment stable/chicken coop.

Wasn’t there some discussion before the baby’s birth about his reduced security, due to the fact he wo be a Prince?


Here you go, from CNN.

Harry and Meghan's baby, Archie, won't receive security from royal institution. When Meghan was pregnant with her son Archie, she was shocked to be told by the royal institution that he wouldn't be made a prince and thus wouldn't receive security.

She is trained in front of the camera and she played that part but as you post she and Harry had different scripts. Watching the fallout it is hardly been pick up on and all the people being asked for comment are black women.

 

[The Fits]

What is all this security needed for?
Is a Scaramanga figure from an unnamed country going to kidnap little Archie?!

 

[Clive Walker]

What a day.

My conclusion is f**k the whole lot of them. Worthless, archaic, out of touch, unnecessary, over paid, over privileged, lazy, biological lottery winners.

So nothing has changed in my mind.

Maybe it was mentioned twice, or even more than twice?
Before they were married in a ‘ jokey’ kind of way, and then , during the security discussion whilst the Duchess of Sussex pregnancy in a more concerned manner.

Having known people with this mindset, it wouldn’t suppose me at all.

Yeah, it’s not as if his Father hadn’t served 2 combat tours of Afghanistan, was the figurehead of a leading disabled servicemen’s games, was the grandson of the heir to the throne of the UK, at a time when Islamic terrorism is at its highest threat level, ever.

No need for security at all.

except she did have security while pregnant (article about the bodyguard retiring), and the issue of security came up later when they stepped down from senior royal duty. as a great-grandson of the monarch Archie was never going to be made a Prince, specific change was made for William's childred (this will/would change once Charles takes throne).

remember how their life is under the spotlight? we know many of the claims are tenuous or false.

the quotes further up suggest the comments were made during pregnacy or before that even. would security be an issue while a royal doing royal duties?

Both agreed it was only said to Harry, she said when she was pregnant, the person it was said to, Harry, stated it was before they married so no child existed. She deliberately clouded it with the security issue and again bleat as much as she likes the child would not be a prince and with them wishing to move away would not be protected with our money.
