Yes, it was a stunning few moments. Happy New Year! And the interaction between Archie and his parents was delightful.

A not too hostile review of the podcast from the Guardian.

Harry and Meghan try interviews without the interviewing ? Archewell Audio podcast review | Podcasts | The Guardian

A review in The Times:

*The first episode of Archewell Audio introduces a world where people don?t do things, they manifest them; where people don?t say, they share and so on. It?s all blandly Californian*

Trying to avoid the tabloids' reviews...here's The Independent's.

Harry and Meghan podcast review: Archie?s first public words, Zoom jokes and a very unroyal broadcast | The Independent

Ms Gallagher sums up her overall thoughts with this paragraph. Please click on the link to read more. Sophie Gallagher isn't really critical nor is she brimming with praise. She's somewhere in the middle but definitely felt Archie was a highlight.  :vday2:

QuoteBut overall I'm not sure what to take away from the podcast. For the everyday listener looking for an entertaining snippet in their day, the sentiments shared by guests do - as promised by Meghan in the introduction - bring a little ?warmth, a smile and something to think about? - but that something in my case was whether I would bother tuning in again.

Sorry it's a tabloid but...it appears that the Duke of Sussex and Oprah Winfrey's  joint documentary on mental health has been slowed due to COVID 19 and possibly the Sussexes' move to North America.

Prince Harry?s Apple TV+ mental health series with Oprah Winfrey stalls again

QuotePRINCE Harry?s much-anticipated Apple TV+ series has stalled despite being in the making for more than two years.

The mental health documentary serial was due to be released last autumn with Harry, 36, working alongside Oprah Winfrey, 66.

The article says that while no announcement has been given for an air date, it could be released in the Spring of 2021.

Curryong

The Apple documentary is probably like hundreds of other similar projects planned for release in 2019/2020, stalled by the worldwide pandemic. We were talking about this in the family only the other day and saying that Hollywood has released barely anything in the past ten months either. Unfortunately Covid has impacted hugely on the lives of those working in the industry as well as everybody else. The issue of mental health will still be very relevant in 2021 and I expect this documentary will be ready for release in the late Spring of this year.

Harry has joined the Aussie Prime Minister and others in launching a new mental health app to assist frontline workers in Australia take care of their wellbeing in these challenging times.

Harry, as Vice President English Rugby, has appeared in a happy and relaxed video honouring the 150th Season of the game. His favourite sport of course, apart from polo!

Anne will be pleased, and Harry devastated, I'm sure!  :partaay:

Theres a message from Harry

Curryong

Invictus, and Harry, have already done many things to assist in the area of mental and physical health for others. That was one of the reasons for the founding of Invictus in the first place and the partnership is another worthwhile step along the way.

TLLK

QuoteThe Duke of Sussex, Patron of the Invictus Games Foundation, said, ?For a year now, NHS workers have been engaged in a new kind of battle. They have consistently set-aside their own physical and emotional health in the service of others. This service and sacrifice resonates deeply with so many in the Armed Forces community. With this ongoing project, we know that the NHS and Invictus communities will learn from each other, support each other, and lead conversations that everyone can draw from. It is from these shared experiences I hope people can find strength, compassion, and understanding, and the inspiration they need for their own recovery and resilience.?
:thumbsup: Good message from Prince Harry.

Secretly wishing for a girl too @FanDianaFancy. IMHO fathers who didn't have a sister might find it hard not to believe that their little girls are not made of glass and can be just as active as their brothers. (It was a surprise to my own husband and his brother when their first children were girls but then again, I guess that the Wales brothers might have figured that out with Zara as their cousin.  :D)

It is fun for parents if they experience both genders. Meggie is girly girl.

Two boys would be fun too. Diana , as girly girl as she was, lovedadored her two boys and really, two boys were better for her.

Kate. First son is first and is most special  being first . Then add his place , she is probably more protectant of him.
That girl is her girl . Enough said, lol.
Louis is her baby and hers.
Funny her parents had two girls and a boy and she had two boys and a girl.

Focus on pregnancy should be her #1 concern.

But she started the floodgates of a war with ex employees. I think the sulky pictures and The Times is knowing it would be published.

She doesn't have to do anything.. She's not a working royal, she has no duties..so it is up to her waht she does with her life from now on....

...and instead of focusing on her pregnancy and moving on with her life there in California, she has chosen instead to rehash the past and "make war" with Britain (BRF and British media). Doesn't she have anything more constructive to do there with her "new" life without inviting her "old" life to intrude?
She could've waited to "make war" AFTER her child was born, when she'd be less emotionally and physically vulnerable. But it seems she WANTS to stay forefront in the British news right now. Why?
"These are the times that try men's souls... Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value." --Thomas Paine

She' needs to keep up the interest in the US, so that she and Harry can make a living..  and all she can really do is re hash the story of her life with the RF.. and Her and Harry's departure form it...

Sort of at Amabel2.
For income, they have to produce good, quality shows for Netflix. Produce it and people will watch. No pr from for it would be best because it makes people biased.
They fame or not does  not matter.
They need fans to listen to them preach on Spotify. So far,  if I am not mistaken, not too many fans showed up for ratings.

They should be tired, you would think, of this shytstorm, chaos of OprahInterview and LondonTimes.
OprahInterview was not necessary.
They wrote a book.
The LT did not need to report this mess either.

Henry and Megan should go lay low. Chill out. Enjoy their money. They have no public role, no public service, no protocols, no maternity leave if you ever could call BRF wives have maternity leave because their workload was not a daily grind to begin with. They owe the public nothing and the public here expects nothing of them.
Really, people do not care. Gossip fodder is always good in entertsinment and they are serving good gossip as they are celebrities like Megan The Stallion and Harry Styles.

The constant rebuttals to constant chaos ,  exhausting. It does their brand, whatever that is, no favors.

T
but so far they are not producing shows are they?  They are teh show and I wonder if the shows they do produce will be all that interesting.  So they have to keep themselves in the public eye until they do something that there's a market for..

FanDianaFancy

Kind of Amabel2. Keeping  in the American public is not a guarantee  for ratings for a show. They are not staring in the shows like Kim Kardashian and family. No, Sussex have had no shows on Netflix yet. Yes, the shows must be of interest.  So far Meg n Hen are just gossip fodder.

America is different.
Megan and Harry no longer members of BRF in a sense. Here, we do not have royalty.
Henry is going to get a rude awakening by Dec 2022, in time as things settle more, here the govt is not interested in him. He is not going to meet with world leaders.
When this Covidvirus settles down more, I wonder if Pres Biden will have TheWH State Dinners.
Lets say he has one for British PM , whoever that will be at the time, or for Duke n Duchess of Cornwall or Cambridge, will Megan n Henry be on the guest list?

Henrys new life is totally different from his old life. This brings us back to Netflix shows, podcast. He needs fans, yes, but the shows must be of interest too. The shows must be promoted , but not Megan n Henry. That Dianas son thingy, Prince thingy does not work here.
