So I'm not sure what to make of this, what the full motivation was for making this video and are they targeting Canadians. The timing, why now, why such a distraction. Why.

I think it's satire, Posh - it's fake but looks very real (to highlight the amount of 'fake' information that's out there at the moment) and also, I think, to highlight the hypocrisy of the media.  Over here, Meghan Markle was often criticised by the press which was taken by many to be racially based (she was subjected to a lot more of it than, Kate, the one who's married to Prince William), with one broadcaster posting a picture of two people with a baby chimp when she and Harry announced the birth of their son.  She's been blamed for them leaving the country and turning their backs on the monarchy whilst Prince Andrew, who seemingly had a close friendship with Epstein and who's been accused of rape by more than one woman, I think, was whisked off to the palace, the wagons were circled around him and everyone's left him alone.  So there's been very different treatment of them by the press - the woman with an opinion has been vilified and the rich, white, suspected racist has been protected.  Johnson comes under the same bracket - he's had multiple children by various partners and got his current one pregnant while his at the time wife was battling cancer and raising their other kids and he just upped and left her.  The police have also been called to a domestic incident at his home with the new partner and allegations about his mother being beaten by his father surfaced at one point as well, but it all gets swept under the carpet quite quickly.  So I think that's what they're getting at - the manipulation of media and protecting rich white men, essentially.  Channel 4 always do an alternative Christmas message - not everyone here supports the monarchy or thinks they should be in the position they are (especially financially) so they tend to do something that's the opposite to the 'actual' message (which often does sound like she's been told what to say - she did quite a big talk on poverty one time whilst sitting on a gold throne which didn't go down too well lol) xx

Hi Two,

I didn't quite know all that about Meghan Markle, I think I heard a tiny murmur.

If there are broadcasts that are known to be unreal using this technology maybe it should just be taken down as hoaxes. I guess I feel it's odd timing to release something like this near Christmas time. It seems like it's meant to unsettle people AS if people are not already unsettled. But I'm not in Britain so the meaning it has in the UK is different compared to the meaning in the US I guess.
 
So the internet bullies hate Meghan for being biracial and the prince is swept under the rug by the racist royal family.

Haha okay I know nothing about royal family drama. I did watch the prince's interview when it first came out but I didn't know all the rest of this. Ah I see they do a satire every Xmas holiday. I had no idea.

There is a high sentiment of mistrust or just a vibe of reality augmentation going on in general. Always lots of conspiracy theories going around.

I think it makes more sense in the UK, Posh, there's loads of sub text to it that wouldn't make sense if you don't know all the other stuff lol.  It is causing much debate here as well, as does the Queen's speech and everything else that ever goes on :)  I'm ignoring everything now to be honest lol, there are just too many opinions and points of view on everything.  I think the internet's become a beast that needs to be put back in its box.  It's just too open to abuse, misuse, misinterpretation and so on.  We were given the chance to use it responsibly and we've failed!  Lol.  Human nature, I guess.  I've had Christmas songs on the radio, no news (mute volume when it comes on), I've been watching The Undoing?  Have you seen that one?  Loving it so far, very eager to find out who really done it!
