ok I've seen it mentioned so many times, and I even think I asked a while back, and it was explained, but my menopausal brain is saying "nope nothing here"........so, I'm asking again (I think), what is a "Duchy"???

Cornwall is a county, it’s the furthest tip of sw england. It’s famous for its lovely beaches , fresh fish restaurants, old smugglers haunts..relies very much on tourism so it will really be hurting with this lockdown..a bit like florida stretches out into the sea, Cornwall is the same.

So in effect, what they are actually saying here is that they only want published what they deem is important and shows them in a favourable light.

What they don’t get is the media is like a disapproving parent and will call you out on your tit behaviour. When you tow a socially acceptable line, as done by W&K, your parent will approve and reward you accordingly with favourable press. When you behave like a pair of over-inflated egotistical twunts, the parent will chastise you and make you look like the idiots you actually are. It’s no good crying over the fact that the majority of sane thinking humans who can see what arseholes you are disapprove of your actions.

I’ve just come to the conclusion that these two are now just a lost cause. They are never going to see the flip side of the coin. They are right, everyone else is wrong. We see right through them and don’t like what we see. They look in the mirror and see two perfect souls just trying to do the best for everyone in their delusional little bubble. That witch is dragging him down to her level and he is willingly tagging along.

Bring it on tabloids. Can’t wait to see how this pans out 🤓🍿

They don’t want to be used as “currency” but will happily use anyone and anything to get any currency into their coffers

I reckon its going to be a close call... with a lot of mud slinging and varying opinions, and a lot of people supporting Prince Harried because he is a prince...….but......if you look at the case presented by the DM, I cant really see how they can lose.

Meghan sent a letter to her father, she didn't specifically ask for any of it to be kept private, he gave it to the press, they printed it. Im not sure what case she has? there are loads of cases in history of letters being published by the press, its not exactly a new thing- so why would she expect the letter to be kept private?

Funny enough one of the books I read some time ago was "letters from A Prince" (or some such title) and it was the letters that Edward 8th wrote to people, including his lady loves pre Wallis. Quite fascinating how utterly thick and childish he was and the more Ginger wrings his hands and wails and weeps the more he seems like a reincarnation of his dozey arsed old uncle bolter.
Anyway at the time I was surprised such private correspondence would be published and now I'm wondering if the DM could cite such a book during this case. As in "For duck sake we were reading loads of private letters from an actual ex king, why the feck is one letter from a C list actress out of bounds?"
Found it,

Couple of particular points on that letter.

It states that 'the couple no longer receive any publicly funded support' - is that true? I don't think I've ever seen it clarified or confirmed that they are not receiving any security provided by the UK public anymore?

Secondly - I thought they could no longer refer to themselves as 'The Duke and Duchess of Sussex'? Isn't that the title they're not supposed to use? As I understood, they are now Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex?

Anyway back to the overall point, although I can't stand the man I have to say I agree with Piers Morgan on this. It's so petulant and inappropriate. They have a point about tabloid reporting (in general, not specifically relating to them) - but equally, that's the rub of it. If you want to court the media, you have to accept the rough with the smooth. And as others have said, if you don't want to engage with certain publications, just don't! This is so inflammatory and just designed to put them in the headlines again.

Also - why only British media?

I think the titles should be pared right down..Harry and Meghan Windsor sounds fine to me...or should it be Harry and Meghan Wales..in fact why lumbar any country or county with them..why not Harry and Meghan Spencer

Did anyone else spot that “Harry” just happened to use the American spelling of “apologiZe” in “his” text rather than the English spelling of apologiSe?
I wonder how that happened... 🤔

Interesting how from the first text to the rest of them the spelling went from “you” to “u” as well as the “apologize” thing and the tone got very weird. Also what does the writer mean saying “two other options which don’t involve you HAVING to talk to the press”. To me that definitely reads as an offer of money that would top whatever the papers were offering.

Letter to the press is so idiotic. And you know she, or ‘they’, wrote it themselves because it is poorly written and is all focused on *~*fEeLiNgS*~*.

As they say, the more power you try to exert the more powerless you feel. These two are living proof. They try to control everything around them and are both constantly spiraling out over the fact that that’s not possible.

An interesting article in the Spectator USA by the UK historian Dominic Green. Doesn't pull any punches.

The Meghan & Harry Show will end in tears

Now they’ve left the royal family, Meghan and Harry want to change their terms of engagement with the media to Hollywood rules

WOW! Call the burns unit! 🔥🔥🔥
That article is a lesson in the use of sarcasm at it's most searing.

Just as we were getting used to the headlines about hospitalization and mortality rates, the really bad news arrives. Meghan and Harry are back. After scuttling to California before they were isolated in the hell of a luxury rental in Vancouver, the unemployed ex-royals are loose on the streets of Los Angeles. Disguised as two Postmates workers, they’re delivering bags of food to already vulnerable members of the public and making sure to be filmed doing it. Think Candid Camera, without the candor.

Like everything this spontaneously warm and down-to-earth couple does, this stunt combines a cold whiff of careful planning with their signature aroma, a complex blend of farce, vanity and self-destruction. The footage of their gastronomic mercy mission was intended to draw our attention away from mindless showbiz trivia like COVID-19, the implosion of the global economy and a war of words between the Trump administration and China, and set us thinking about what really matters: the couple’s announcement on Sunday night that they’re refusing to speak to the four biggest British tabloids, the Daily Mail, the Sun, the Daily Mirror and the Daily Express.
