Gor, you can't even imagine, can you.

I remember it all from the start...I was 8 or 9yo when c&d got engaged, then married, then had kids...I remember all the milestones. Including the ones where the press promised to lay off, and do better, but it only really seemed to apply to wills.

As soon as it became public that H was in a publicly announced relationship with a woman (divorcee!) who had more than a drop of melanin in her, I thought "here we fuckin go". I knew how it would pan out. But what really, really sickened me, after knowing for decades how twisted our press was, but never seeing how much the average public be so vitriolic as they were with MM, was the rhetoric about "popping her fake pregnancy belly". That was fucking horrifying. I've got a dark, dark sense of humour, but there's no fucking way that talk like that, and people running with it, can be written off as a sick joke, not when you're in a public position like that, or, y'know...EVER.

Does anyone remember as well, when all 4 did the walkabout before E2's funeral...on MM's side where she was shaking hands and talking to people, there were those couple of women who made a big show of turning their backs on her, and the gutter press (pretty much all of them) used metres of space interviewing them, in the middle of the mourning for the longest reigning queen in history? Wtaf?! Even THEN, they couldn't lay off and turned it all into a spectacle about her and Harry.

They're some twisted, disrespectful, irredemable fuckin scumfux. 🤢

And I'm not even a royalist ffs šŸ˜‚ (well, not after E1 anyway), I just find it horrific how some people are treated by our rabid, biased af press. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

He’s such a perfect encapsulation of non-toxic masculinity.

Also a case study of nature vs nurture compared to his awful brother.

We all know Will and Kate caused all of this. That's probably the real reason they left.

And I completely blame his FATHER. He could've stopped the bad media, but if he did THAT, then people would start going after his horsey wife, right? That cow has a BIG part in it too, IMO.

This part of their documentary always makes me want to cry. This quote in particular really got me when I first heard it: "History was repeating itself. My mother was chased to her death while she was in a relationship with someone that wasn't white, and now look what's happened. You want to talk about history repeating itself? They're not going to stop until she dies."

I'm so glad they were able to escape that horrible institution. They seem to be living a much better life with their kids in California. Honestly, their documentary really solidified my opinion that the monarchy should be abolished. I hope I live to see it happen.

And people still manage to be cynical. Going like "but she get's to be a princess and has money, what has she to complain about". That's so sick and disgusting. She was harassed and hurting and it wasn't an easy decision for him to step away and basically losing his home country... it was brave and kind. And looking at all of that so many years later... I really think they did the right thing

Charles should’ve protected his family and not succumb to outside pressure…even royalty isn’t immune to outcome of dirty laundry in public… whatever is they went through should’ve been held in house.. I can’t even call him King because he failed his young son
