Have Harry and Meghan shot themselves in the foot here? Does ‘no more co-operation with the tabloids’ give the papers carte blanche to do their worst without the likelihood of repudiation?

//he pair had taken the step due to "distorted, false or invasive" stories//
won't stop them printing them will it?

[anneasquith]

I hope they are happy in la la land. They will struggle with no publicity though . A pandemic more important than these two celebrities . Hey ho .

[MallyJ]

I reckon the tabloids have already been pretty foul towards these two...the Mail is appalling towards those it has decided are not of the correct background ... What else can they do?...there will be another shock horror story from them about another person they have decided is not up to their standards of breeding and ethnicity. Time to ban it totally IMO....and the Sun.....an embarrassment

[ladybirder]

Those two really need to get over themselves, jeez.

[pixie374]

I don't blame them. I saw this earlier, and I'm sure the majority of the media is more trying to sell, than worried about truth. Maybe they should stop giving them any publicity now.

[Apc2604]

They have brought in on themselves for assuming celebrity status, and moving to California says it all!

[Mozz71]

What exactly does it say? To me it says they're trying to escape the toxic UK gutter press. Good luck to them.

[pixie374]

Yes, good luck to them... but presumably it works both ways, and this will be their last announcement to the Press.

I’m with Pixie here, just keep your heads down , you’ve chosen your path in life and I hope you’ll be happy, I wish them well

[naomi24]

//just keep your heads down //

They don't though. This from yesterday.

We've had all this prattle before.

[pixie374]

Hopefully, the media should stop any reporting on them now. As, they, believe, they want...

[iluvmargie]

I hoped once they'd move across the pond we'd hear no more of them, sadly this isn't the case.

[ToraToraTora]

mozz; "What exactly does it say? To me it says they're trying to escape the toxic UK gutter press. Good luck to them. " - fair enough but they'll still have the US gutter press to deal with and they are at least as bad and more obsessed with royal connections.

[Bobbisox1]

High hopes Naomi :0/

[ToraToraTora]

Namoi, has a valid point, they do tend to court attention then moan when it's not the right kind. You can't have it both ways!

[Bobbisox1]

Yes she has 3Ts, I agree

[Zacs-Master]

They’ll always have the right of denial but to let everyone know, they’d have to engage with the press, so....yes....I’m pretty sure they’ve painted themselves into a corner on this one. Meghan will soon crave the limelight again.

[weecalf]

If it SUITS them . ( suits them I’m too good for this place ) Natty headline will it be used by the tabloids I want a what do you call it if they do maybe a knighthood Sir Wee sounds good

[Ken4155]

Let's face it, Harry has always blamed the press for their part in his mother's untimely death. No surprise that now the tabloids have more or less dogged their every footsteps, he has chosen not to allow any of those newspapers direct access. So from now on, when we read something about them in the tabloids, we will always be questioning where they got their info. And, of course, the choice will be ours whether or not to give their articles any credence.
