The host of GB News recently expressed her contemplation of discontinuing her Netflix subscription following the release of Meghan and Harry’s documentary series, which she found to be quite soporific.
Diamond, the GB News host, playfully mocked Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and their new Netflix show, suggesting that it could serve as a remedy for insomnia during a segment with Stephen and Anne.
She humorously declared her intention to bid farewell to Netflix if the upcoming episodes fail to captivate her interest.
Encouraging viewers to tune in to Harry and Meghan’s Netflix series as a cure for sleeplessness, broadcaster Claire Muldoon remarked on the show’s tranquilizing effect.
Diamond from GB News echoed this sentiment, humorously noting how the series induces drowsiness and prompts thoughts of engaging in other activities.
Expressing her strong aversion to the show, Diamond emphasized her desire to cancel her Netflix account while discussing it with co-host Stephen Dixon and reporter Kevin Schofield.
Despite facing criticism, Meghan and Harry’s Netflix documentary has garnered significant viewership, emerging as the platform’s most popular offering.
The debut episode attracted 2.4 million viewers on its first day, with over 2 million British viewers tuning in on Thursday.
This marked a record-breaking viewership for any Netflix program since Barb began tracking ratings in October.
The series outperformed established shows like EastEnders and The Crown, drawing attention despite mixed reviews regarding its substance.
Critics have lambasted the documentary series for its lack of substantial content and failure to offer fresh insights into the Sussexes’ lives.
Lucy Mangan, a TV critic for The Guardian, questioned the series’ impact, highlighting its repetitive narrative.
Various publications, including The Telegraph and The Spectator, criticized the show for being self-indulgent and unengaging.
The Irish Times described it as an arduous journey through the world of Sussex.
In a separate development, a province in Canada has made allegiance to King Charles optional, marking a significant shift in democratic practices.
Following Queen Elizabeth II’s passing in September, King Charles assumed the role of head of state in several nations, including Canada.
Quebec recently passed a law eliminating the requirement for elected officials to swear allegiance to King Charles, a move hailed as a victory for democratic principles.
The decision to amend the oath of allegiance in Quebec gained momentum following the Queen’s demise and pressure from political parties advocating for Quebec’s independence.
Premier François Legault introduced the legislation, streamlining the process after unanimous agreement in the legislature.
The move came after fourteen politicians declined to take the oath post-election, with three lawmakers from the Parti Québécois refusing to comply, leading to their exclusion from the assembly.
Quebec legislators have traditionally been mandated to take two oaths, with the contentious crown oath being the secondary pledge.
The revised legislation reflects evolving attitudes towards monarchy and sovereignty in Quebec, illustrating a progressive stance on matters of national identity and allegiance.
The shift in allegiance requirements signifies a broader trend towards modernizing political practices and fostering inclusivity within the Canadian political landscape.
