The Duchess of Cambridge makes an appearance in the wedding reception photos shown in #HarryandMeghanNetflix (is she talking to Idris Elba?)
Munira Mahmud of the Hubb Community Kitchen is interviewed in #HarryandMeghanNetflix about Meghan's work with them and "Together," the cookbook they put together for victims of the Grenfell fire:
Meghan's mother Doria Ragland cries while talking about her daughter's suicidal ideation while pregnant. "That's not an easy one for a mom to hear." #HarryandMeghanNetflix
Harry said that he had a conversation with his father, then-Prince Charles, about the media's coverage of Meghan.
"He said, 'Darling boy, you can't take on the media. The media will always be the media.' And I said, 'I fundamentally disagree.'"
Lol, because of this tweet, BuzzFeed disabled all of the settings that would have allowed us to do this. (As in, they literally changed settings overnight.)
Lovely to know how much you mean to a place after 10 years.
HELP REQUEST: Despite pleas from employees who have been here for most of their careers, BuzzFeed has decided not to adjust its Google Workspace settings to allow us to download our Google Drives or email inboxes. If anybody knows a workaround to do this, we’d all appreciate it.
In particular, not being able to access our old inboxes will make it incredibly difficult to maintain relationships with sources, experts, and other valuable contacts. You know, people you need to talk to when you’re a reporter.
(We still have access to our inboxes and our Drives because unions are great, ILU @bfnewsunion)
It looks like YouTube has once again deranked anti-Meghan Markle channels from search results in order to keep the often hateful and conspiracy theory-laden videos from unsuspecting viewers.
A search for her name yields only results from legitimate media outlets:
You can tell that some sort of filter has been applied to the YouTube results for queries about Meghan because a search for "Kate Middleton" yields videos from unverified channels / fan-made channels.
Specifically, I confirmed this with a Sussex spokesperson when I asked for comment on WHY Harry didn't go to his family for help with Meghan when she was suicidal. Their PR team confirmed she sought inpatient treatment.
Oh, and also, it took about 2 minutes of Googling to find a private mental health hospital in London that allows patients to refer themselves for inpatient care without needing anything from a medical/psychiatric practitioner.
