Harry and Megan

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.

Seriously LP, you should read Ardern's office's statement and stop relying on Sky News.  Ardern and others were interviewed for a Mandela Foundation project on leadership years before the Sussexes were engaged to get the program produced and aired.

Ardern simply confirmed the timeline so that she wasn't seen to be taking sides in the Royal family spat.  Harry and Meghan haven't made any comments to the contrary.

This is a fairly typical example of how the Murdoch media will take a straightforward non-event and try use it to attack those that they fear and/or hate, in this case, both Ardern and the Sussexes.
