General News about the Sussex Family, Part Two: April-August 2020

[Sun Lion]

I have decided I am tired of the toxicity around these too and frankly of the drama and misery. I don't want to comment on here anymore when frankly we have so many wonderful life events. Bea's marriage. George's birthday. So much of the good of life and I want to centrate on that. If covid has taught us nothing. So best if luck to Harry and Meghan I certainly wish them all the best.

I hope you feel able to contribute in the Sussex threads again poppy7 - I always looked out for your posts as I found them clear and well thought through, and your views always added to the discussion.

You are right about the better aspects of Royal watching.

The suprise wedding - everything about it - was such a joy to read about, really uplifting.

And then followed by Her Majesty's knighting duties. That was a great Royal news day.

Well, it seems that Meghan and Harry's new lawyers know something the rest of us did not. They have stated in the new filing that Meghan and Harry intended to reside in North America at least part-time "in an attempt to escape the incessant UK tabloid fabrications."

It seems we need question no longer why the couple chose to leave the UK.

They are also living in LA "at the generosity of a friend." While people will interpret this as they will, this is certainly peculiar phrasing that will catch people's attention. It would be very odd to say that it is "generous" to let someone rent your home.

 

[Curryong]

Oh, no never. The British tabloid media would never ever print anything malicious or untruthful about Harry or Meghan in order to make their lives an absolute misery.

As for the house in LA, it would indeed be generous to rent it out at a low rent, which is what Tyler is probably doing. And as he doesn't use it and wants to sell it in the future, having had royals living there is a good selling point.

 

[HighGoalHighDreams]

Curryong, I am not sure what the first part of your post is supposed to be responding to, but I don't think anyone denies that the tabloid press print all manner of things to make their lives uncomfortable. My post was pointing out that we have now been given a definitive, black-and-white reason from the couple themselves as to why they left to live in North America. I posted that bit directly from the filing because, whenever anyone posts that Meghan and Harry "left because," usually to point out how whatever they are doing contradicts that reason, other posters respond to say that "they actually never said why they were leaving" in black-and-white terms.

Why that should deserve a sarcastic response, I am not sure.

 

[Curryong]

Sorry about not being clear or misunderstanding your previous post. I responded in that way because the part the media played in the Sussexes leaving the UK is often underestimated, especially by the tabloid media itself.

I don't think that anyone who saw Meghan's response in the South African interview with Tom Bradby in October last year, nor in various public responses by Harry to attacks on his wife by the tabloids could be in any doubt that the inaccuracies and untruths appearing daily in these papers rated high in the Sussexes' decision to leave Britain.

 

[Osipi]

I am sorry for my post of a week ago and wish to apologise to everyone - fellow posters and moderators.

Whew! All is well with the world once again. Our Sun Lion is back among us! I consider my postings here my daily addiction and also my means of checking off my "learn something new today box". I've had bad posting days and bad opinion days and frustrations too. I think I've had more posts deleted and edited than some members have actual posts. You've passed your baptismal here with fire. Welcome back to the zoo.

Well, it seems that Meghan and Harry's new lawyers know something the rest of us did not. They have stated in the new filing that Meghan and Harry intended to reside in North America at least part-time "in an attempt to escape the incessant UK tabloid fabrications."

This clears something up very nicely with me. It tells me that Harry and Meghan do still plan on the original intention of living part time in the US and also part time in the UK. ?

Just leaving the UK won't stop the stories - as they are continuing and will continue. It will make no difference where they live - the UK media knows what sells and stories, whether true or not, about the Sussex's sells.

They will never have to worry about paying rent - someone will always give them a grand house free of charge. That's how it works with the rich. Though hopefully they won't befriend the Jeffery Epsteins of the world like Uncle Andrew.

 

[Denville]

So they moved to the USA to avoid the British tabloids.. did they ever consider not reading the tabloid?? And they are upset about the British tabloids.. so they move to another country which also has tabloid papers which are twice as inaccurate and to a city full of photographers.

Very well said. I have always struggled with how this couple are able to give third parties, ie the tabloids, the ability to influence fundamental decisions about their lives.

IMO they moved to the US because that's where they or at least Meg wanted to go.. where they thought they had a good chance of earning large sums of money. I do think that if Harry had walked out on his own, he might have chosen to work wit animals in S Africa.. but he'd have needed financial input from his father to do that. But Meg knows the US, and believes that living there esp in LA would be the best place to earn a living..and to do "glamourous" charity work..so Harry has gone there... After all the tabs are still writing critical stories about them and they get pestered by drones taking photos and so on in LA itself.. so IMO their desire to move had little to do with the tabloids.

It is pretty obvious that the lawyers meant H&M are not paying rent, which most people already suspected anyway.

Cheers Osipi,


Are the Duke and Duchess going to sue “Bunte” magazine for publishing the two photos?

I don’t understand the legal complaint where it is claimed that the photographer tried to pass the shots off as having been taken on a family trip to Malibu.

It’s clear from the “Bunte” magazine that they - the magazine people who actually published them - that they at least understood where the photos where taken.

They have a picture of the Tyler Perry house and a big arrow on it showing where little Archie and his grandmother where photographed in their article.

I wish the Royal couple would bring “Hello” magazine in, do lots of happy photos and a nice interview, reframe their new US life in a positive light and reset the whole thing.

All these lawsuits make them come across as having a siege mentality.

They look like they have actually lost control of their lives, instead of gaining the greater control they sought by leaving the Royal setup.

That's what I was thinking too.
I mean, how many publications can they sue without looking paranoid?

They probably assume that, by suing multiple publications, they will discourage others from intruding into their private lives in the future.


I agree with other posters though that Canada would have been the best choice if they wanted to stay clear from the intrusive press. LA on the other hand is probably one of the worst.

 

[ACO]

They were photographed in Canada. Made the front pages of the UK papers too.

 

[Lumutqueen]

Isn’t Meghan suing for that as well?

 

[Claricecolin]

I think the difference in Canada is that they were not on private property, if I remember correctly. The difference in LA is that it was private property, therefore there is an expectation of privacy.

Bunte are always being sued for printing photographs on private land. They may not know about it. Princess Caroline and practically have a direct debit set with them

So, moving to Canada and the US hasn't stopped hte press from chasing them, taking pictures and writing critical articles...

Of course not but Meghan also not being accused of causing murder because she likes a fruit on top of everything else. So I guess she fairing a bit better? Also clearly relations within the family is not great. So that’s an added thing.


That said... what do people think of this nugget posted in the papers?

https://twitter.com/x/status/1286562821808037888

Personally I don’t see Harry returning part time whatsoever. Wasn’t that the whole point in them stepping away? It was either full in or not at all? Also interesting they just mention Harry though I think they well aware Meghan’s not returning.

But Meghan found the RF so nice at first, didnt she? According to Harry anyway they were better than her own family... As for the "nugget", I suppose its possible that Charles hopes his son will come home and can be worked back into the royal schedule.. but does not believe that Meg will watn to come back to teh UK

I’m sure everyone was nice to each other in the beginning. Most people are and then relationships change. It happens. I liked my college roommate the first two months. Not so much by the end of the year. Lol

And frankly we have seen plenty of the Markles. Not saying much. Harry has always praised Doria. Doubt she took offense as she has always been active in their life. We know who did groan and meh...

But harry didn't distinguish. He seemed to indicate that Meghan had no family who were close to her.. which is not the case. Just because Doria didn't say anything doesn't mean that she didn't feel hurt...

 

[stunking]

Yeah, LA is not the place to go if you want privacy. Yes I'm sure Harry would have picked S. Africa over LA. Yes Meghan made the pick. I thought she was going to have another child.

 

[Denville]

Archie is only a year old..

 

[Claire]

Personally and yes you can attack me for this, I think we are all been played.
There is a purposefully mandate to keep Meghan and Harry in the public attention and eye. The lawsuits against the media are part of it. They will settle or loose and then yell from across the pond that they stand up for their privacy.
There was a large glossy photos shot planned with whoever paid the most. Presumably Harper Bazaar, but cornana. I think the tv specials with Gayle King went the same way, but they will get back on track when things quiet don a bit and get back to normal. But now H& M need to remain in the public sphere _ but not too down your throat. You need to be reminded of the narrative they are selling, but not get too annoyed by it or else people will start asking questions.
There is no doubt in my mind that this has been orchestrated. Especially Omid’s book which they are hoping will enforce in the world their purpose to save all of humanity. Which is hoped will kick off their public speaking tours and Meghan’s own series of books and Oprah’s tv show on Amazon. They don’t need to buy advertising the tabloids, Twitter, the rest of SM and even this forum are giving it for free. I mean they have done relatively nothing new in months and look at how long this thread is. All publicity is good publicity hen you can bend it to your narrative.

well there's not much people can do, in the present climate. They have done a few Skype interviews, and one or 2 days spent delivering food parcels.. Will and Kate have been the same, mostly working on line and with an occasional hands on engagement..

Right? They may or may not have more children. That’s their choice but their child is only one.

I believe it was the RF “side” that stipulating all in or all out, when as we know the Sussexes came for the table with a part time idea in mind. If this is now being considered by the RF it may change things.
