Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister.”

The Daily Mail noted that the statement from the spokesperson did not address claims that the couple’s lawyers were actively monitoring the show for future attacks nor did the statement address reports that Markle was angered by the episode.

So sensationalist media are still trying to make this a story.  What a surprise.

I still just so hope they sue.  Meghan is traumatized!  Oh woe.

[rmgill]

A big lawsuit will certainly help them find their privacy!!!

Gotta nurture the Victim Brand.

Apparently Charles and William are not ready to grovel before their Awesomeness the Duke and Duchess of Merkle.

You know, besides the vast amount of popcorn entertainment to be had due to the Markles, it strikes me that if King Charles and his eldest had sat down with the world’s absolute best PR people to devise some way to boost their popularity, they could not have come up with a better scheme than having Meghan and her husband behave the way they have. 
 

I still harbor a small modicum of sadness at seeing Harry reduced to this. He seemed like a promising fellow before he met the missus. I really hope for him that the sex he is getting is out-of-this-world awesome, but I rather suspect not. 
Waaagh, indeed.

Quite frankly, I don't believe a single story about them that appears in any of the press.

Not one of the stories in the last few weeks has been from anything other than anonymous sources (which should read anonymous sauce, as in high proof bottled stuff). It's all made up nonsense designed to keep the pot boiling and therefore the click-throughs coming.

[Stuart Galbraith]

The only indication worth having is who turns up for the Coronation.

[Murph]

And it should be fun!  

[DB]

Poker face by everyone throughout, but that won't stop the Daily Heil et al. from stirring up more shit.

"Kate blanked Meghan by not holding her hand throughout!"

"Charles and Camilla incites racism by wearing crowns made from jewels stolen from poor people of colour, Meghan offended."

"William and Harry came to blows over which servant got to pour the tea. Tea was served with milk, which is racist."

It will all be lies, told convincingly as "sources claim..."

[Stuart Galbraith]

She wont turn up. Harry probably will, and sit expressionless through out the entire proceedings. Or at least, that is my general expectation.

The Duck of Sussex?

More Daily Heil.

It's basically competing with Metro now.

[Harold Jones]

You can read the NY Post and get most of the same articles.  Both sites make it incredibly easy to read, no users accounts, no pop ups begging for donations or suggesting you subscribe, no paywalls on anything.  The headlines screaming about various 'Horror' events and storms of the century, plus copious pictures of scantily clad celebrities make for a near perfect recreation of the National Enquirer reading experience.  You know its mostly crap, but what the hell you're going to be in the checkout line for the next 10 minutes while the person in front of you disputes the validity of various coupons, the prices of items that were reputedly on sale, removes things from their cart and then laboriously fills out a check to pay for everything.

😁

Reading music for that from P!nk feat. People of Walmart.

 

[Murph]

So will the Duke and Duchess of Markle be on the balcony with Charles?  And is Charles a secret Muslim as being reported in some media?  What can they come up with next?  That he was actually born on Alpha Centauri?

[Ssnake]

Above all, who gives a toss?

At around $300 a billable hour for their lawyer to pay a junior $35 an hour to watch the show. Lawyer; "Oh yes we be happy to provide that service"

Coronation: Public invited to swear allegiance to King Charles

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65435426

 

I'll be swearing at the King in a different way  

[Murph]

But don't you all have to do that anyway since you are subjects of the Crown or something like that?  Just curious.

No, the assumption is we are loyal subjects, but we never have to do anything strange like swearing allegiance or anything. You only do that when you join the armed forces.

I think MP's have to swear allegiance as well.

 

I read an article on my phone the other day which ran a pole about the monarchy. In it the younger you are the more likely that they want an elected head of state.

It was wanted by roughly 40% of under 30's.

With 20% under 30's saying they want a king.

With 40% under 30's being undecided.
