The only ones hanging by a thread are the Harkles. The monarchy is just fine.

[@Cherrytune386]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@valerienong2671]

Amen. According to the spirit, when chaos happens in the families bcuz there's elevation coming by God. Especially British Royals, bcuz they believe in God of the Bible. That's why they get attacked More bcuz of envy people. But God is with them, so they will come out victory. Like prince of Wales will be king and princess Catherine will be a beautiful queen. She's just consecrating now

[@gusto7543]

Meghan wanted to leave from the start, you know that Tina. You wrote it in your book Palace Papers. Meghan never understood what it means to be a part of the family. Let’s not give her a pass

[@kathyduffyharte1636]

She didn't want to b in the RF because she wld have been discovered earlier.. she can't scam wen they r all under the same roof..she needed to get the fool H out on his own .. mission accomplished. For now, but don't worry the suss-exes shld watch this space

The problem with journalism is that they are no longer reporting facts. Now, it's all about opinions and emotions. Ex. The lady talking, telling us how Trump is a clown, etc. Instead, just give me the facts and let me make my own conclusions.

[@mmurphyCHC]

They print PR puff pieces & do no fact checking. We have to rely on YY & other sources to tell us what’s really happening

That she actually has the gall to say that about Trump in light of the last four years with the “four more years…pause” bozo in the white house now is irony beyond the pale

[@lizhorton5333]

Hello from America. The problem is that journalists aren’t journalists anymore. They’re heavily biased and it’s rare to find one that is truly objective and reports the facts without giving their own opinion.

[@cynthiaconroy4924]

You two show what is lacking in journalism.

[@appreciationforqueenelizab6362]

Markle and Harry lack the intelligence and wisdom required to manage a royal position of any significance. Royals know that and are proceeding without hesitation to maintain the effective, professional conduct that enables the royals to remain wealthy, secure, and respected by people all over the world. That cannot be said of Markle and Harry, and they are leaving behind even now unpaid fees due for their efforts to achieve. People (and doctors) are aware of the harm in the "plots" created by Markle and Harry who may still be planning activity in that venue that will eventually destroy any respect for them as responsible people. It is injuring them now without the next production on the market. Cardiac risks are too great a sacrifice to continue to submit to the Harry and Markle mental illnesses.

[@lordtherapeutics]

The problem with journalism on both sides of the Atlantic is that they all sing off the same establishment main stream political and cultural hymn sheet and rather than reporting events seem to spend most the time giving their opinions and interpretations of events through the prism of their homogeneous left liberal belief systems. The diversity of thought and analysis and opinion has largely disappeared from the serious press and legacy media. Times Radio is a particularly egregious example of this, and the journalist presenters are often incredibly smug and mocking. Stig Abel is the worst but there are others.

[@catherinegrimes2308]

After following the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard libel trail on a live KZbin stream, I was shocked when the BBC News website had an article stating that Amber Heard should have won and the jury got it wrong. A friend said that she thought that Amber Heard was lying through her teeth.

[@mandybradley3079]

This woman is wrong. We look at Harry as a loser and a clown in the USA.

[@cliftonmobile123]

Journalists lie just as much as KZbinrs do 😏

[@amandaslade9072]

Utter nonsense

[@denniskrust2137]

I felt empathy for Harry and Meghan due to the bigotry they faced with their marriage. However, their entire existence since separating from the Royal Family has been about grifting off rhe Royals. They act like pathetic influencers desperately trying anything to make a dime. Harry was a helicopter pilot. Go get a job.

[@MiBones]

Harry was a gunner on a helicopter.

[@christinadoyle1134]

Harry was not pilot failed exams think Harry was a bunker (bunker Harry)

[@sheryljackson8068]

Thank you for your clarification. Exactly

There was never any bigotry..it was their plan to leave with that excuse. .

[@gabriellecunningham7196]

What "bigotry they faced in their marriage"?? From whom? They pretty much had a free ride in the Press and there was no racism from the family. 🇦🇺

[@Ladyjillybean]

I dont agree with your statement that the Monarchy hamgs by a thread and the thread ia Catherine. As loved as she is, i think people have been pleasantly surprised by our King and Queen. They have been amazing. As to journalists, main stream journalists are frightened to print the whole truth, whereas hard working home internet journalists who carry out exceptional reseach offer far better qork that offers the full truth. Look at Nigeria tour, mainstream media concentrated on the niceties, whereas internet journalist told the whole story fromM&H not following customs, M being an hour late and much more. Journalists seems scared to print the truth

Is Harry paying you in mushrooms? You are delusional

British press expects royal women to be pretty and well dressed...that's all the credit they give these women...except QE11. Always describing their clothing, jewelry, hair...we can see for ourselves.

[@joymattson8549]

Yeah, I do not find trump attractive - not even remotely.

[@crucible4silver]

Before Meghan, leaks from the Royal Family was rare to none. That’s why Nexflix Harry & Meghan was a big hit, not because it was good but because we have never heard, first hand, any royal trashing and bashing and spitting to their family. For any Social Media speaker to say that H&M are young or immature is an insult. Harry is a big problem and his issue started with Diana. It is public knowledge that she told Harry he would be a great king. She instilled in his mind the possibility of him being the king and he believed it. I think Harry’s problem is that the king will be William. He wants a chance for the king’s position to go for voting because he believes Harry will win.

[@duskeyowl2507]

[@KetinUSA]

Sorry, but journalists sealed their fate when they chose to stop even trying to be unbiased when they chose to denigrate and ban people from speaking who disagreed with the official line during the “pandemic”. Before any journalist opens their mouth about accountability and honesty, every journalist who reported favorably on COVID and COVID policies needs to publish a very overt and detailed apology to the public, and then proceed to apologize to every person whose viewpoint they crushed, ignored, denigrated, and refused to air. Journalists were complicit with politicians in lying to and misleading the public. Is their any wonder we neither trust nor pay any attention to anything journalists write or say. You two are prime examples: you are giving your opinions on political figures rather than facts. BTW, Biden is every bit as much of a joke as Trump. At least with Trump, the public got what they voted for - Trump was running the country; with Biden, it’s quite clear to me that Biden is NOT running the country, but who really is?

Meghan left the UK about a year after she married Harry. I don't see how she could be greatly missed. She snubbed the natives in Fiji, complained that she should get paid for doing the tours and was whining about how the Royal family didn't care about her while on a tour in an impoverished country in Africa. Harry may have been greatly missed but not that woman who most likely had no intention of living permanently in the UK and just blamed the family and the media as reasons for leaving.

[@thomasmoore1499]

@@denniskrust2137 Who are you, are you her gate keeper ? The Royals want publicity when it suits them and we pay in a variety of ways for the manner in which they chose to live. They mean nothing in my life but that's neither here nor there, clearly you take an opposite view. Still, saying Kate has cancer and that ought to be enough is not an answer when you're in the public eye, particularly having courted attention. After all Charles and his wife have gone out of their way to appear in public. People can't be blamed for asking what is going on with the Royals, also with William saying near to nothing.Of course gossip and conjecture follow. You heard this woman say that the Royal family is hanging on a thread and Kate is supposed to be their saving grace as the next Queen. Finally, I think you are being childish.
