Does anyone give enough of a shit to watch the Harry and Meghan film on Netflix.

175. I watched it

Been down sick this week with a nasty virus, so I flipped it on. Not much of a royal fan but I think the series is relevant as an example of what hateful, toxic tabloid-journalism and social media does to people, how it can tear open individuals, even societies. Strong, speak-your-mind women seem to be a favorite target. Personally, I found the royals' pact with the devil (the media) disgusting, all so the 'institution' itself survives.

It's also an example of how outdated and self-serving monarchies truly are. Think Windsor lost a huge opportunity to stay at least somewhat relevant by dumping Harry and Meghan who were so popular with the public. Until the endless hit jobs, that is. They've both done an immense amount of charity work and outreach to marginalized communities and Meghan in particular was a perfect bridge to the Commonwealth, most of which is populated by people of color.

Found the two of them attractive, engaging and obviously devoted to one another and their kids. They were treated shabbily but I suspect they'll do some good in the world.
