'No one sees what's happening behind closed doors' - Netflix trailer

Posted by Susan T on December 1, 2022, 9:06 am, in reply to "December 1 - Sussex Thread"

An explosive trailer for Harry and Meghan's £88million Netflix docuseries dropped today, with the couple sharing an intensely personal reel of never before seen photos including several of the duchess crying.

In a hint of fresh attacks on the Royal Family, Harry is heard saying, 'no one sees what goes on behind closed doors' just before an image flashes up of Meghan holding her head in her hands while speaking on the phone.

In another photo, Meghan is seen sitting next to Harry on a sofa, with the duchess holding both hands up to her face while her glum-looking husband has his head tilted backwards.

Did anybody else notice that Netflix appears to hold the copyright for photos that were taken long before September 2020, the date given when the Netflix deal was signed?

Well, we were expecting that here, weren't we?

My guess is Harry's wife is seeing huge dollar signs with this Lady Susan thing, abd she's going to seize the opportunity to portrsy herself as the caped crusader against racism. We also know she won't be able o sustain that and the crash will come, with her getting ever more vitriolic in order to get fuel.

I'm stocking up on Advil.

Meghan's Oscar worthy moments in her acting career, while she's married to the proven racist in the Royal Family, who has never apologized. The press refuses to drive that point home about Harry, oh, I forgot, he's fragile and has to be handled with care.

Sounds like a lot of Oprah interview repeating with bad soap opera performances added in.

BP Had Direct Discussion With Ms. Fulani After Incident

Posted by karenl on December 1, 2022, 11:59 pm, in reply to "Re: A declaration of war"

"A "direct discussion" has reportedly taken place between Buckingham Palace and the black charity boss who accused it of "institutional racism" following her treatment during an event. Speaking on Good Morning Britain today, Ngozi Fulani, founder of domestive violence charity Sistah Space, said neither she nor her company had been contacted by the palace."

"......This contradicted a statement made by a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace shortly after Ms Fulani's claims emerged, in which they stated the palace had "reached out to her" and invited her to "discuss all elements of her experience in person if she wishes."

However, according to ITV's Chris Ship, a "direct discussion has now taken place between both sides", and they are now "working out how to move forward after this week's events."

Ms Fulani said on the chat show: "People keep saying the palace has reached out to me - nobody's reached out to me."

She confirmed the charity had also not been told, adding: "I'm telling you categorically, we have not heard from the palace."

Hmm, isn't this interesting.

'Why on Earth do we allow him to keep his title?'

Posted by Susan T on December 2, 2022, 7:29 am, in reply to "December 1 - Sussex Thread"

Isle of Wight MP Bob Seely, a former journalist who also served in the armed forces, slammed the pair last night, telling Talk TV: 'I don't know what's gone wrong in their lives, I just think they're this pathetic, narcissistic, self-indulgent pair, they're dreadful.

'Why on earth we allow him to keep his titles if he hates this country and hates the monarchy. If I had time I'd be bringing in a private members bill to say if you want to hate monarchy you're Mr Windsor - jog on, grow up.'

Well, you've partially answered your own question. You "don't have the time" to bring in a bill. And when citizens present petitions regarding removing the titles, those receiving the petitions claim it's not in their power to remove the peerage titles, that's it's not in their job description.

So, until the various branches of the government, constitutional experts, courts, and the monarch decide just who does have the power, nothing will be done.

Exactly, the Govt. has already shown time and again, they're not in any hurry to do anything, Charles could even present his proposal for removing their titles in the next hour and the Govt. would still dither around and do nothing. That was an exaggeration, I expect Charles to drag his feet, as well. It's true, the public can send in petition after petition, nothing will be done.

William and Kate were blindsided by Harry and Meghan's bombshell Netflix trailer

Posted by Susan T on December 2, 2022, 7:43 am, in reply to "December 1 - Sussex Thread"

Really?

It's been known for some time that the program would air on December 8.

The trailer wasn't going to be released when it would detract from other Sussex activities, such as her podcast, her gig in Indianapolis, or the Ripple of Hope Gala.

In addition, the trailer for their African documentary was released during William and Catherine's visit to Pakistan.

Yet, neither William nor Catherine, nor anybody on their staff, thought that they should be prepared for this likelihood? Even though for weeks the media has been reporting on all the hand-wringing going on in various palaces regarding the contents of the documentary and Harry's book?

The Prince and Princess of Wales weren't blindsided any more than we were. The media is showing it's extreme bias for the Sussexes by attempting to show that William and Catherine's visit to the US is "another failure". It's not, but they won't report it as such.

I have absolutely no desire to watch the Netflix Meghafiction. These photos reaffirm that.

They 'will reach out and repair relationships with the royal family'

Posted by Susan T on December 2, 2022, 3:19 pm, in reply to "December 1 - Sussex Thread"

Harry and Meghan insist they will focus on repairing their relationships with the royal family - once their Netflix documentary and the prince's tell-all memoir come out.

Sources say the couple have spoken about 'reaching out' to the prince's estranged relatives after the 'inevitable furore' around the projects has died down.

(snip)

It is understood that the streaming giant - who signed the couple up as part of a multi-million dollar production deal - plan to release the six-part documentary in two halves of three episodes each.

The first will come next Thursday, December 8, the three month anniversary of the death of Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.

The second will come a week later on Thursday December 15, the day the Princess of Wales holds her second annual carol concert at Westminster Abbey to recognise community heroes. It will be attended by other senior royals and broadcast on Christmas Eve.

And Harry's book is being released on January 10, the day after Catherine's birthday. What a coincidence. And we're expected to believe that they wanted to postpone the releases of these things.

I wonder how much time they've allocated for repair work in order to secure an invitation to the coronation?

Yes, they want/need that invitation to the Coronation. That's all.

With the shot of Catherine at the Commonwealth service? They're dead in the water as far as William's concerned all ready.
The usual trash the family, but we want to go to the Coronation and be seen. "Don't take everything we've said in the film and book, seriously".

Nothing will be the same after Harry and Meghan's Netflix show

Posted by Susan T on December 2, 2022, 6:13 pm, in reply to "December 1 - Sussex Thread"

One source familiar with the dramas behind the scenes say 'nothing will be the quite same after it' — not least Harry's once-warm relationship with Netflix boss, Ted Sarandos.

(snip)

Harry's memoir, Spare, will be published on January 10. Given the official Netflix trailer had 105,000 dislikes and 15,000 likes on YouTube as of yesterday, it will be interesting to see how the series is received when it airs next Thursday.

Matters are now so fraught that there is speculation from well-placed sources that the £88 million deal between Netflix and Harry and Meghan may be quietly dismantled in the New Year.

Where this might leave the couple financially is an open question, as deals such as theirs typically involve a small sum of money upfront, with the rest to come when shows go into production.

Hmm....things may get more and more interesting in the next few weeks. I think Reed Hastings wanted to dump the Sussexes a long time ago. The rumor has been on the celeb gossip circuit that Hastings and Sarandos are on less than great terms right now over the Sussexes. It's a rumor, but I could see it.
