Puhlease, “la vache que rit”, seriously? If you’re really into processed rubbery processed ersatz-cheese, I’d suggest “Gala”. Might not be much better but does have a slightly more appropriate sound for a [insert adjective of your choice] disenfranchised royal kid.

| | Re: [Prince] Harry and Meghan | Quote: | |  | | | She won’t be entitled to a title until the Queen dies due to some law that came in over a hundred years ago. Most of the Queen’s great grandchildren won’t get a title until Charles becomes king. | | | | | I read somewhere that the new baby is entitled to be called Lady now, and can become princess later when her grandfather Charles ascends to the throne. However, her parents chose not to use a title for Archie so it would be a tad odd if they magically chose to use one for her. Archie could have been given his father's second title, Earl of Dumbarton, but they chose not to do that.

I see they're taking 20 weeks leave from their non-jobs. That's good, they could re-tile 1 bathroom per week and still have 6 weeks left to hire a nanny

"ITV has been cleared by media regulator Ofcom, which has rejected a record 58,000 complaints about Piers Morgan's criticism of the Duchess of Sussex.
The ex-Good Morning Britain host said he didn't believe what Meghan said in her Oprah Winfrey interview in March.
The duchess herself filed complaints with the regulator and ITV.
Ofcom said restricting his views would be a "chilling restriction" on free expression but criticised his "apparent disregard" for the subject of suicide.
Morgan said he was "delighted" with the ruling, which he described as "a resounding victory for free speech and a resounding defeat for Princess Pinocchios"." https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-58354662 | The following 4 users would like to thank Medea Fleecestealer for this useful post: | |

I feel sorry for the TV talking head who's trying to get his job back playing the free speech card when everyone knows this depends on popularity, TV ratings, retweets, and face/insta likes. There's THE LAW, and there's the law of offer and demand.

Reviving the drama….
Harry and Meghan are broadcasting their story on Netflix. The reclusive couple who have become media savvy in using their position and history to create content.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail has dedicated its precious space to renouncing them at every turn. It seems the Sussex product does create revenue for some.
Suffice to say, I can‘t stand the Sussex brand and am saddened at what Harry has become. Meghan is milking her position to become something she isn‘t and Harry is empowering her.
And yet…. I‘m intrigued. Will it be a train wreck or will they manage to use their love to become a powerhouse for charities? I admit it.. I’ll be following them, if not simply for the sake of cheap entertainment

The penguin onsies were an interesting choice, apparently they were chose because Megain understood penguins keep their mates for life and this was obviously considered something rather sweet
Oh, but wait, Megain already had a mate previously ......

Mocking her first meeting with the Queen was totally uncalled for. Harry looked very uncomfortable.

I haven't watched it as I don't subscribe to Netflix, but I have seen that clip and thought Meghan looked unhinged. He looked very unhappy sitting next to her. Body language experts say as a couple they are not in sync with each other. My personal view is both Meghan and to an extent her mother are pushing his buttons with regard to how damaged he still is over his late mother's death. He's a manchild stuck back in 1997.
What I don't like is the passive aggressive stance of making out all British people are racists and their footage being cut with Brexit clips, demonstrations about immigration etc. It's cheap in that respect. It's also obvious this was planned before they left the RF given they had 15 hours worth of personal footage for the directors (and who takes grainy pics of being proposed to send to a friend when it's a spontaneous thing?)
My sister watched it an said she thought it was boring.
If there is fallout from this (if they split, or should I say when?) Harry will be an even more damaged individual but maybe as a classic narcissist that's what she wants. My B in L has a narcisstic personality and took over his parents lives by taking over at home, dominating them and not permitting visitors. My F in L has now willed everything to him including the house, not even a penny is left to his grandchildren.

Someone got it right though - Netflix.
