Here Lies Meghan Markle

[Peter Pedant]

anyone watching ?

Meghan re-imagining her life - she has given up so much to marry Hazza - excuse me?

No army time for harry - either because the tommies wdnt turn up or because it is not about Megz

first two hours, were the acadian times - they had so much going for them, and the next four hours will be about them squandering it all

[evadora]

I'd rather watch paint dry.

The D.Telegraph has a damning article on them today - about being privileged, Royal, rich and wailing - particularly when many are having a hell of a hard time.

if it works...

[LadyCG]

What a grubby, loathsome pair they are.

[The Builder]

California is a foreign country Peter. They do things differently there.
(To mis-quote Hartley.)
They may be impressed.
Oprah Winfrey may be impressed (doesn't take much.)

I don't have Netflix, so I'll have to remain uninformed. Her podcasts have been taken apart and ridiculed in The Times recently. I'm actually quite tired of her insulting my intelligence, so I'll let it go. :o)

[DTCwordfan]

apparently it's all rather luvv-duvvy and lacks hard evidence/subtance - certainly these first three episodes.

[douglas9401]

Anybody ask where she's originally from?

[LadyCG]

Only when she's wearing fancy dress, Doug.

[The Builder]

Good one Dougie, but since she was born and raised in La-La land, I wouldn't expect a coherent answer ;o)

[Khandro]

Harry and Meghan are suffering from something similar to what the 19th-century French psychiatrists Charles Lasègue and Jules Falret identified as [i] folie à deux [i] a disorder whereby two individuals in close association become co-dependent on a shared delusional system. In such cases, the shrinks say, a husband and wife can act ‘as a resonator, increasing the pitch of their narcissism’.

[naomi24]

I haven't watched but intend to later today.

[calmck]

Not watching but Charles will get grief if he does or does not remove titles. I read somewhere that there is already a question to Parliament about it

[Khandro]

folie à deux

[Hopkirk]

I wish I had a Netflix subscription - so I could cancel it today.

[Peter Pedant]

Many thanks for those who have answered.
I watched with a friend and by ep 3 - the third hour ( no I didnt rise again) I lay back and thought of England

Hi Buildy. California is a foreign country Peter. They do things differently there. (To mis-quote Hartley.)
Oh yes he is the fellow who wrote "fly fishing"

abroad! abroad! it's a terrible place. I've been there you know ( George V on being told a courtier begged leave to go abroad) - I think of him ( GVR) whenever my AB queen Naomi mentions forrin places or lingos

There is an army bit. Looking at the afrocaribbean obvious plants, I realised Mogz was visitingg an American base. Hazza doing his British best and the grunts ( enlisted marines) looking a bit confused as Mogz twittered beautifully

[fitdarren]

I personally think they are repugnant. If all of this doesn't make Charles take away their titles, nothing will. I feel really sorry for him.

I didnt do well at psych - Dragsville Reed gave me a D - he earned his name - and all I managed was Lecture Notes in Psych....BUT - husband and wife pairs do wind each other up and it may not be folie-a-deux.

I thought this was abound the case of the twin sisters who got it together to murder someone....

[Peter Pedant]

Take away their titles
I am not sure if the King can. Discussed by Jowett LC in 1936 and 1952
basically in these matters the King is the font of all honour and so can do as he liked

1936 he ( jowett silly!) said the opposite - the fella in question went back to being a Prince ( as Harry clearly is) and so his wife is and HRH

well boys and gurlz, that is how Lords Chancellors make it and we stay in the fish-and-chip shops paying our taxes

[Peter Pedant]

There is quite a lot of a failing actress ( Mogz, silly!) running around shunning publicity
and shouting " I vaunt to be aloooone!" thx to Greta Garbo

[saintpeter48]

A load of American tosh, I heard a few bits on BBC Radio Five Live earlier today and it made me cringe, yuk yuk yuk.
Why would they do it, oh yes I forgot .... MONEY.
That woman is the dregs of the barrel, horrid person, its got to be all about her and Harry Boy has been drawn in to her sorry little world, it will end in tears!
