Your Thoughts On Prince Harry & Meghan Upcoming Interview

Some might think it remarkable but this Australian hasn't seen the interview. I wish the couple well but last evening's TV was devoted to a huge local scandal in my country.

I was once a royalist, then wanted Australia to become a republic and now am pretty much indifferent to who our head of state is or how they are chosen/appointed. I do like Harry as a man though and hope he is happier in life than his father and mother were.

The passing of the years does tend to modify opinions, or is it just mine?
 


There are two kinds of racism: Overt and Covert.
With Overt racism you know what you are dealing with because it is out in the open and you can protect yourself to some extent.

Covert racism on the other hand, is racial discrimination that is concealed or subtle rather than obvious... and..this is what Meghan had to deal with in the “firm.” People who were supposed to be your new family.

Mine have certainly modified over the years. I call it wisdom, and I am sticking to that story. 😈

I do know she earned millions (though I didn't realize it was that much from Suits), but remember reading Engelson had a higher net worth at the time of their divorce. Now I'm headed down the rabbit hole of researching community property! 🙃 In California, do the six years Engelson and Markle were domestic partners before marrying count?

The Lee/Michelle Marvin "PALimony" case set some precedent on that in CA on so called "Common law" marriages.

It is very sad.

True, but that was a very long term relationship, they never married, and Lee Marvin's paramour filed a lawsuit for spousal support AKA alimony. Dissolved common law marriages relationships don't automatically split assets the way that divorces do. There's no indication Meghan filed for alimony.

They were shackin for only 6 years.
 
These cases were dramatically different:
"When film actor Lee Marvin married in 1970, his former lover Michelle Triola was not inclined to wish him well. After all, she had lived with the rambunctious, hard-drinking actor for six years and had even legally changed her name to Marvin. At first she accepted the $833 per month he sent to support her while she tried to resume her singing and acting career. When the promised checks stopped, she decided to sue him. Her claim reverberated in divorce courts across America in a decade when the number of unmarried couples living together more than doubled."

Among other things, MM didn't quit working during their relationship and there's no indication that she requested or received alimony.

I understand all that SS, I was just giving AnnieA some insight on the subject.

Well thanks....?....for nothing since I'd already stated above that they were domestic partners for six years before they married. I guess you thought I needed to hear the tawdry take on cohabitation. Shocker ...I've actually heard it called that before.

You have forgotten to mention James Hewitt with a question mark as to whether he is Harry's father.

Princess Diana had William in 1982 and Harry in 1984. She didn’t even meet James Hewitt until 1986. She was far too in love with Charles to cheat. ( in my opinion ) I believe she went out with other men after she was divorced. Harry looks a lot like Diana’s father. He had red hair. Plus 2 of her cousins had red hair

Here is my take:
Charles was a cold fish brought up by a cold father
Diana was nothing more than a "brood mare" to guarantee an heir to the throne.
Piers Morgan is an A$$
There is a cozy relationship between the tabloids and the royal family
Anyone who knows anything about genetics knows that Archie cannot be any darker than his mother
And finally I wish Harry & Meghan a happy marriage and family.

So very glad to have permission

No truth to reclaim, however.....its been mine since puberty

(I so love being on ignore)

I couldn’t wait to read everyone’s reactions to the interview. And it amazes me how judgmental we all are, when in fact, no one REALLY KNOWS one darn thing about these people.

I didn’t read, in any of the posts, that someone had tea and crumpets with the Queen every Saturday and that the Queen poured out her heart and soul and told her deepest darkest secrets to this person.

nor did I read in any of the posts that someone knew, on an intimate level, Charles and Dianah and knew, first hand, ALL about their everyday thoughts.

I didn’t read, in any of the posts, anyone who had play dates with William and Kate’s kids, had dinner with them on a regular basis, shared drinks at the pub, and KNEW what their personal thoughts were.

and no one has owned up to actually knowing Harry and Megan. No one has said they went to grade school with Megan, shared sleep overs with her, knew all about her family and the life they had. Nobody said that they were with Harry at the funeral of his mother and talked to him almost everyday. Knew his thoughts, knew what it was like for him to grow up in the palace.

And yet we all seem to know all of them so darn well. I find that amazing and just a little sad. It’s normal, I guess, that we believe all we read in the media and form opinions, but jeez louise!!!! We really need to get a grip on reality!!!!!!!

I certainly won't be watching it, there is more interesting things to watch on television plus I have no time for people that air their dirty linen in public.

That is me done with this thread now.....( hopefully)
