Harry & Meghan: A sneak peek at the explosive documentary!

Harry & Meghan promises to be very entertaining!

Netflix unveiled a first look at the documentary Harry & Meghan, which delves into the story of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as told by the principals involved, and will be released next week.

The least we can say is that the planet is getting excited and that the documentary promises to be explosive!

The teaser starts with a carousel of photos that summarizes the beginning of the love story of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex… but, quickly, the tension rises with the royal obligations and the incessant scrutiny of the British press.

“Why did you want to make this documentary?” a voice off-camera calls out.

“I had to do everything I could to protect my family,” Harry replies.

“When the stakes are so high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?” adds Meghan.

The trailer promises a story told in a very personal way and is sure to create a shock wave in the British royal family.

Don’t miss Kate and William in this teaser…

Harry & Meghan is available on Netflix December 8.

In fact, according to the Daily Mail, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have reached an agreement and shared several of their properties.

West was forced to give his ex-wife a $4.5M home he owned directly next door to her in Southern California.

The rapper bought this house in margin of the separation to be closer to his children …

This is not the only property that Kim managed to acquire.

She will also retain the rights to the $60 million estate in Hidden Hills, California, where she lives with her children, as well as a property she owns in Idaho.

As for Kanye, he will keep his $60 million Malibu Beach home, two ranches he owns in Wyoming, a 300-acre plot in California, a mansion in Belgium and the family home in Chicago where he spent his childhood.

In addition, the couple has now reportedly sealed a custody agreement for their four children, which is said to be equally shared.

As for child support, an amount of $200,000 will be deposited in Kardashian’s account every month!

A nice case to settle for Kim, while Kanye is in a spectacular free fall on the sidelines of anti-Semitic comments and extremely problematic behavior for months now .

MTL’s SWAT kicks down wrong door, arrest wrong man

The SPVM’s tactical group (SWAT) certainly traumatized a couple by entering their residence… only to find out it was the wrong one.

The Journal de Montréal reported that Marc-André Asselin and Sabrina Landry were sleeping comfortably during the night of November 16-17, before being suddenly awakened by the SWAT team who broke down their front door by mistake.

In fact, the individual sought was the tenant of the outraged Montérégie couple, who were understandably disconcerted to experience such an event.

The search of the wrong residence seems to have lasted several minutes before the police realized that they were in the wrong place. They searched the house, asking for the couple’s names and dates of birth, while handcuffing the man of the house, according to Sabrina Landry’s testimony.

A 70 pound goldfish!

Andy Hackett is a 42 year old British fisherman, and he managed to catch a monster goldfish, which is nicknamed The Carrot. A monster fish approaching 70 pounds (67 pounds), the largest of its kind!

Never get bored of seeing her go back 🥕🥕🥕🥕

Posted by Bluewater Lakes on Thursday, November 3, 2022

Hackett found himself in Bluewater Lakes, a place where carp fishing is very popular. However, for the past few years, this huge red fish has been swimming in the waters of this lake and no one was able to catch it… until Hackett.

This fish is called “goldfish”, but in fact, it is a hybrid species of leather carp and koi carp. This hybrid format can be found in many ponds.

The Carrot is 20 years old, and would have been placed in the Bluewater about 15 years ago. The original intent was to allow anglers the challenge of catching it (and then releasing it).

Of course, Hackett called his experience awesome and lucky, taking 30 minutes before he managed to bring it back to him.

Prior to this catch by Hackett, the record belonged to Jason Fugate, who caught a 30-pound goldfish in 2019.
