The Duke and Duchess of Clarence

8th of December 2022 - York House

Wiping his hands as he finished washing the dishes, Simon couldn't help but feel anxious and he wished that there was something that he could do to make this easier on Adeline and the family; but he was at a loss at what to do. 

The documentary had released that day and for the most part the family had ignored it, ignored the headlines and the media attention that had been drawn by the release and what Meghan and Harry had said. 

Simon leant against the kitchen counter, he had asked his assistant to keep him apprised of anything that might be considered damaging to his family. 

No doubt the documentary series was the next wave of attacks from Meghan and Harry, neither of them realising that people were growing increasingly fed up with their whining and complaints. 

The only thing that the Sussexes seemed to do was attack the royal family for not giving them what they wanted, they wanted to punish the royals for not seeing that they deserved what they wanted. 

Adeline came around the corner, the corgis on her heels as she moved to help tidy up now that the children were in bed for the night; they had done their best to shield them away from the documentary but that was becoming difficult. 

There would be no escaping the media tomorrow who would be desperate to gain some sort of response from the royals about what had been said in the first part of the documentary. 

"Do you think we should watch it? Get it out of the way," Adeline asked, she didn't particularly want to what the whinge fest that was her brother's complaints about his 'unfair' life. 

There would be a briefing released tomorrow for the family so that they all knew what was being said, who was being targeted this time since the Queen and Prince Philip had passed on then there would be someone else that they laid blame at their feet. 

Simon crossed the room and wrapped his arms around her, it wasn't his decision to make and he would support her no matter what she did; it was her brother and he knew that Harry would not have been kind to either of them in all of this. 

That was how the couple ended up in the living room, the volume down low so that the children wouldn't hear whatever was said by their aunt and uncle.

In the first episode, Harry and Meghan shared information about the early days of their romance, detailing their first date and revealing their exchanges via email, their personal nicknames, and photos and footage from their one-week visit to Botswana. 

They discussed details about the night before their relationship was made public, during which they attended a Halloween party with Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank. 

Harry talked about the impact his mother's death had on his life and on his relationship with the paparazzi and the press, and draws comparison between her experience and the treatment received by Meghan. 

Commenting on his mother's 1995 interview, he said he believed his mother was "deceived into giving the interview" but spoke "the truth of her experience". 

He described his childhood as being "filled with laughter, filled with happiness and filled with adventure," but states that he had "little help or guidance" after his mother's death. 

He further discussed his relationship with his other girlfriends and the public pressures put on female members of the royal family, adding that men within the family chose "to marry someone who would fit the mould as opposed to somebody who you perhaps are destined to be with." 

Adeline couldn't help but scoff and shake her head, hearing her brother talk about such private details about after their mother had died but conveniently leaving out his poor actions that resulted in her breaking her arm.
