Prince Harry

Saw this dedicated account on twitter earlier; I assume "the traitors" are Harry and Meghan. It's not a parody. And it's not actual Susan Hussey.

For the most part I am being overwhelmed by my own indifference when it comes to this tale. But I am 100% behind the idea of them being stripped of their titles. Which is what I suspect can't possibly happen.
Once we start going down the route of taking royal titles off royals especially given this one is (possibly) the Kings son the idea starts to become more normalised which is probably why they haven't de-royaled He Who Cannot Sweat.

a slippery slope to a republic...I might even consider moving back to the United Kingdom Republic if that happens.

we all know the problem goes back to that Diana woman...all that stuff about her being the first commoner to marry into the royal family...well, now the chickens are coming back to roost. Viva la republica
 
People are still in denial about monarchy.
Nope they definitely exist, I'm one of those voting for they shouldn't but sadly I think we're stuck with the current one and another after him. Sadly I'm too old to live to see the end of them but my grandkids probably will so I will tell them to raise a glass and remember me once we become a republic.
 
but my grandkids probably will
Doubt it. The true extent of the problem hasn't been recognised.

Look at Australia, Canada and New Zealand too.
"Independent" governments under one head of state- (Five Eyes and the armed forces)

Scandals about Diana or Meghan are distractions and keep people from really looking closely at the monarchy in the context of politics and the power - and their financial interests, which is, of course, what it has always been about.
 
I don't know why it's annoying me so much, but surely being 'thrown to the wolves' is the same as 'being fed to the wolves'. Whichever one you do, you are still going to get savaged by wolves.
Well, I would say that being “thrown to the wolves” implies the thrower is saving their own skin, sacrificing the thrown in order to make some kind of escape. Whereas “fed to the wolves” implies that the feeder and the wolves have a mutually beneficial arrangement, with the feeder finding it helpful to have wolves around.
 
I just heard the trailer for the latest episode. what a load of puke inducing, whining toss.

They're truly scraping the barrel. It's car crash tv (yes, intentional). They're not going to get a public rise of the Firm so I don't know what they're hoping to achieve. Apparently we're going to get excerpts of the Di interview this week, an interview which Wills has requested never be broadcast again so that could at least stoke up the flames over on the Mail. Pitchforks are being sharpened.
 
It's been a massive ratings hit for Netflix, maybe that?
This is true. They can't have any more material after this at least, their lives must be pretty fucking boring so hopefully they'll just fade now. Take their £100m and that's that. Job done. I'm sure that's the Palace's thinking anyway. There's been no bombshells or anything. Quite disappointing really.

That ratings figure of 2.4m is a bit misleading btw. The interest clearly faded pretty quickly.

As well as the 2.4 million viewers for the first instalment, episode two had 1.5 million viewers on the first day, and the third part attracted 800,000.

tbh it's like any band - a great ton of people are interested in eg jimi hendrix, far fewer in noel redding or mitch mitchell. same with the royal family
