I lost interest in the British Royal Family so many years ago that I can’t remember ever having had any interest in anything other than the history that got them there, which is not very pretty.
I also promised myself to never click on any articles, written about Megan and Harry. It’s with a heavy heart, overwhelming sadness and the deepest and greatest regret imaginable, that I can inform for you this morning that yesterday, I capitulated and found myself clicking on a story about the incredible hardship that Megan and Harry are suffering given their extreme wealth and privilege.
More of their astonishing allegations and accusations against ‘The Firm’ came out yesterday, oddly enough to coincide with the final episode of their mindless diatribe on Netflix which I will never partake in.
Trust me when I say that I have watched hundreds of hours of mindless and vacuous diatribe on Netflix, but to stoop to that level for me would be a complete admission of abject failure.
What do you think their endgame actually is? Do you think, in a mindless, perverse and twisted way, they’re actually keeping the British royal family in the spotlight and therefore conjuring up more support for something that long ago lost any meaning and relevance for a great many people?
As far as I’m concerned, the only person within the British royal family that had any respect from a great deal of people has now gone.
The cynic in me says that everything we are hearing and viewing now may well be a highly orchestrated attempt to keep The Firm relevant in an era where nothing could be from reality or the truth for most of us.
Oh, and by the way; for full disclosure here; I only read the headline and looked at the pictures.
