Harry and Megan

[LP]

Have you read the statement from Ardern's office (not Ardern directly) or just the Sky News headlines?

As PM of a constitutional monarchy, Ardern has to tread a fine line when it comes to matters that may affect her head of state.  Being seen to be neutral in a Royal family dispute is non-negotiable.  Of course, as producers of the series, Harry and Meghan's roles are largely irrelevant when it comes to content, those involved, look and feel, etc.  Ardern's office's statement is aimed at folk who mistakenly think that Harry and Meghan have a more hands on role.

I see, so it suits the Harkle boosters to claim those rules openly known by all commonwealth politicians were largely ignored by Ardern or Ardern's Advisory while making the Documentary, and post-facto are now being used to somehow weirdly explain away / discount Ardern's version of events.

Well, that's a bit arbitrary!

Seriously DJC, you are accusing Ardern of breaking the rules, then crediting Ardern with being prepared to risk that to blowing up in her face to protect a casual acquaintance.

I suggest based on recent statements and activities, it's far more likely Ardern or Ardern's Department has told it as it was, while Harkle has spun things differently to suit their platform.
