Has anyone watched? Is it worth a viewing?
Are they hard done by victims of an abusive system and family?
Are they out-of-touch self-absorbed moaners and perpetual victims?
Does anyone in a world outside of the Daily Mail, really give a damn?
I watched the 'recollections vary' Oprah interview and unsure what more they can really offer of interest. Six hours is a long investment, especially considering it will be a very one sided perspective which may or may not stand up to scrutiny.

Nope.
Six of one and half a dozen of the other init.
The minute they were married, the right wing media definitely turned on her. Can't imagine why...
On the other hand, for a couple wishing to retire from the public eye to lead a private life.. they're going about it a very strange way.
But as you say. Who actually gives a shit ?

I was completely indifferent on them when they first got together. They started to irritate me when lecturing the public on cutting carbon emissions, all while taking private jets around the world. Can't stand me a hypocrite.
I just don't get what qualifies either of them to tout themselves as oracles of anything. One's an actress, while the other was the lovable but dim prince.

Apparently so, considering the BBC News at Six yesterday felt it necessary to include a complete story about the next set of episodes releasing and the 'revelations' that came out of it.
Personally they annoy me, I'm hoping they'll eventually fade into oblivion like other reality TV stars. It is pretty funny watching Piers Morgan get so wound up by them though.

I read somewhere that its an 'establishment' thing where the media, including the Beeb, seem to think that the general public are a lot more interested in royal affairs than they actually are.
Amplified now by the death of the Queen - but that was bound to be massive - they now think everyone is royal obsessed.
I'd love to see some widespread polling of "do you actually give a shit about Harry & Meghan"

I have watched it and completely agree with Harry and Meghan.. The press are doing to Meghan what they tried to do to Harry's mum Diana.. They hounded her and they are doing the same to Meghan.. I think very similar to the fact that Diana was more popular than the rest of the family and that was a no no, Harry and Meghan were becoming more liked that William and Kate.
Through the episodes you can see how much in Love Harry and Meghan are.. I just hope they stay out of the family and find happiness as they are..
