ITV Emerge as Frontrunner to Air Meghan and Harry's Oprah Interview

[GoldHeart]

yes I get all that, but its out there now, you know how cruel school kids can be?



Breaking Ophrah confirmed it was not Liz or Phil who made the comment

Kids are cruel regardless, though Cherie :shrug: whether you're in the public eye or not you could get bullied easily for no reason.

Yeah it wasn't the queen or Phil that made the remark, doubt we'll ever find out who said it .

Or if it was actually ever said at all.

[Ammi]

...okay, so this is what one article says, crikey these old traditions of ‘royal’...


Back in 1917, King George V restricted the number of family members who could rock a royal title, and naturally, he phrased it in the most complicated and annoying way possible:

“The grandchildren of the sons of any such Sovereign in the direct male line (save only the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales) shall have and enjoy in all occasions the style and title enjoyed by the children of Dukes of these Our Realms.”

Which basically means that the titles of “prince” and “princess” are restricted to the children of the sovereign (e.g., Prince Charles, Prince Edward, and Princess Anne), the children of the sovereign’s sons (e.g., Prince Harry and Prince William), and the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales (e.g., Prince George). But since Prince Harry is the second son of Prince Charles, his kids are not guaranteed the title of “prince” or “princess.”

Which basically means that the titles of “prince” and “princess” are restricted to the children of the sovereign (e.g., Prince Charles, Prince Edward, and Princess Anne), the children of the sovereign’s sons (e.g., Prince Harry and Prince William), and the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales (e.g., Prince George). But since Prince Harry is the second son of Prince Charles, his kids are not guaranteed the title of “prince” or “princess.”



...:laugh:...so in other words, the Queen could have amended it so that Archie could have had the title of Prince and the security afforded to such but she chose not to....interesting...

[bots]

if Meghan isn't prepared to say who made the racist remark, then it's equivalent to saying the world is racist. You can't just throw a general slur in the direction of a group without backing it up

[Livia]

ITV Be would be the most appropriate .

LOL... so true.

[GoldHeart]

Or if it was actually ever said at all.

Harry & Meghan divided opinion from the moment they got together .

But what if it was ACTUALLY said?? , Sounds like Meghan is meant to just shush about racism ? :bored:.

Like I said whoever said it won't be held accountable,as we'll never find out who said it . So people will always doubt it.

[Ammi]

that their comments about his skin colour will be googable for ever? and might affect his life going forward, am I being very obtuse?

...His father, Harry made the public statement regarding racist/her heritage comments toward his mother...that’s something the palace haven’t intervened with or tried in any way to protect Meghan from...I’m pretty sure there will be many things google able and those are part of Archie’s ‘story’ as well...I’m still not sure of the connection, maybe it’s just me...I mean, look at the awful media that Meghan has been given, it’s horrific and drove them both from living here...and that’s all Google able as well...

[bots]

...:laugh:...so in other words, the Queen could have amended it so that Archie could have had the title of Prince and the security afforded to such but she chose not to....interesting...

So if she widened it out, the public would then say ... more scroungers. With precedent it's a slippery slope and with the queen she very, very rarely breaks tradition. Some will criticise her for that, saying she is not prepared to modernise others will say ... well done. She can't win in that situation

[Ammi]

...I mean, Meghan’s skin colour/heritage have been in the public domain ever since Harry announced his engagement and Archie’s has been in the public domain since he was born...

[jet]

Finding Freedom: By Omid Scobie, friend, biographer and spokesman for H&M.

Harry and Meghan - who were going to register Archie for dual citizenship - decided to forgo a title for their son, because they wanted him to be a private citizen until he was at an age where he could decide which path he would like to take'. :whistle:

[Beso]

...it’s very French to have two weddings, one personal, intimate one for the legal vows and one more official one to celebrate with others...and well, Paris is always a good idea...:flutter:...Remy’s influence, I reckon...we love to see it...:love:..

It's also very french to pay for it yourselves.

[Ammi]

So if she widened it out, the public would then say ... more scroungers. With precedent it's a slippery slope and with the queen she very, very rarely breaks tradition. Some will criticise her for that, saying she is not prepared to modernise others will say ... well done. She can't win in that situation

...but she did though, with Charlotte...she has recently amended it for Charlotte in modern times...but not for Archie...

[bots]

...but she did though, with Charlotte...she has recently amended it for Charlotte in modern times...but not for Archie...

Charlotte is in the direct royal line, Archie isn't. For example, if her father and brother died, she would be queen

[GoldHeart]

...His father, Harry made the public statement regarding racist/her heritage comments toward his mother...that’s something the palace haven’t intervened with or tried in any way to protect Meghan from...I’m pretty sure there will be many things google able and those are part of Archie’s ‘story’ as well...I’m still not sure of the connection, maybe it’s just me...I mean, look at the awful media that Meghan has been given, it’s horrific and drove them both from living here...and that’s all Google able as well...

Exactly and when Archie grows up he'll always be able to Google the media hate his mother experienced.

So I don't know what difference it makes that Meghan has called out a racist remark about Archie. Let's address the elephant in the room here .

[Ammi]

Poor Harry when she starts divorce proceedings and all his boats have been burned.

See you all back here for the "I told you so" part of the discussion.

...well no...it isn’t ‘ I told you so’, surely if a marriage fails...whatever is felt about either or both on a personal level, it would be very, very sad because their children would be the ones to be effected most...an I told you so situation wouldn’t apply at all, why would it...

[Livia]

Harry & Meghan divided opinion from the moment they got together .

But what if it was ACTUALLY said?? , Sounds like Meghan is meant to just shush about racism ? :bored:.

Hey... but.... What if it wasn't?!?

No one should shush about racism.

But I see you've made up your mind.

No one will be held accountable if no one is named. If it were true, and I was Meghan, I'd want the person named and shamed. But no... no name... which makes it seems like a bit of a tale.

[Livia]

...well no...it isn’t ‘ I told you so’, surely if a marriage fails...whatever is felt about either or both on a personal level, it would be very, very sad because their children would be the ones to be effected most...an I told you so situation wouldn’t apply at all, why would it...

.

[Ammi]

Charlotte is in the direct royal line, Archie isn't. For example, if her father and brother died, she would be queen

It was still stated as ‘male’ children, though...so in Elizabeth amending it to include Charlotte, it was open to amendments being made...these ‘traditions’ are so outdated, they obviously have to be open to being updated as well and apparently are...what an amazing Birth gift to have given her great grandson...:lovedup:..


Side note: At this point, you’re probably wondering why Princess Charlotte got to be called “princess” since she’s not “the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales.” That’s because in 2013, Queen Elizabeth II issued a letters patent that removed the first-kid-only decree. How modern!

[GoldHeart]

Livia :facepalm:
if Meghan 'named and shamed' whoever said it then she'd be accused of ruining that particular person's life, people already are doubting it .So she can't win either way . The backlash would be even worse . Not to mention the person would deny it or stay silent.

I'll admit It's got me wondering who said it aswell, but it could be anyone .

[Denver]

Oprah has said that the racist remarks were not from the Queen or Phillip all but confirming it was Charles

[jet]

I don't get this "They wouldn't get me help for my mental state" thing. She was a grown experienced woman, could she not get help herself, like any of us has to do? Or why would Harry not get her help? Or insist that she was given help?

She says she was suicidal but she and Harry just trundled along, doing nothing, because the HR dept. refused to help her?

Doesn't add up at all.

[LukeB]

oh right, for me bringing what Archie's skin colour might be into the public domain is uncomfortable for me, I think while they want to get their point across, down the line this will come back to haunt them as it can never be taken back, and Archie may suffer for that comment going forward

Are children of the other Royals Princes and Princesses then, I don't know, will need to call on Jet I know Williams are but not sure about the rest :laugh:

You say that like he wasn't going to suffer anyway when he sees all the vile abuse Meghan and Harry got from the media and public

[GoldHeart]

Yeah like I said the vile hate is already googleable ,and Archie will see it all anyway.

Harry did try to get her help through the family, but they were told there was nothing that could be done. The royal family are known for this especially with Diana who said as much in her own explosive interview.

Stop dismissing her struggles to have an unnecessary dig at her. It’s disgusting.

The difference is its not been said by strangers

From his father mouth about a family member

[Cherie]

Oprah has said that the racist remarks were not from the Queen or Phillip all but confirming it was Charles

Proof? Could be William Camilla Kate

He needs to confirm

[GoldHeart]

I didn't think it was mentioned who said it :conf: ? , but I was wondering if it was Charles or Camilla.

Seems a bizarre thing for William or Kate to say when they're of a different generation ,but who knows.

He needs to confirm

She said on CBS that Harry told her if she had a chance to let people know it wasn't his grandparents

[Ammi]

So they just say ok then, whatever, and do nothing for themselves? Harry just accepts that when his wife is suicidal? She just accepts it?

They didn't help Diana either - but they got her help from those qualified to deal with it, as they are not.

Unless you're a trained doctor or psychologist or someone who's gone through similar troubles, I don't think you'll fully understand how mental health works .

And even medical professions get it wrong .And pumping someone with more pills isn't going to make the problem go away automatically, if anything it makes it worse .

[Smithy]

I think this thread is just proof they can’t win

They said a member of the royal family was “concerned” about the colour or the baby and for some members it wasn’t enough and demanded to know the name of who it was

Meghan said that she felt suicidal from the **** she got from the press and this time members don’t believe her

If she’d have said who the family member was there’s no doubt in my mind she’d just be brandished a liar then too :shrug:

The amount of hatred against a woman who has done nothing to anybody in this thread honestly just boggles my mind, like??? Go outside, touch some grass or something

I questioned her statement that she was refused help.

CTV news - Richard Berthelsen - "the royal family have access to the best qualified professionals in the world, and have used them on many occasions.....a very odd claim to make that she was refused help....

[joeysteele]

Extremely so.
Which is sadly why there's still stigma around mental illness.

Even why some suffer it in silence worrying about what some 'others', (not just children) but amazingly adults reactions will be.

They accepted that no help was coming from the Royal family so took themselves out of the royal family. That’s what they did. There was no grand scheme. It was done for their own sanity.

[Cherie]

I'm not a fan of Charles, but in all honesty I would have stopped taking his calls as well for my own sanity

I think Megs wanted the Diana narrative, she will never be the People's Princess unfortunately, far too self absorbed, Diana had a natural affinity with the people she interacted with and didn't choose projects that were safe

[thesheriff443]

Let’s hope Meghan gets some help she desperately needs because she is clearly not right in the head.

After all she is desperately ill with her mental health

I dont like her...shes a proven liar and I take everything she says with a pinch of salt. Shes accusing her husbands family of Racism over one comment that 'could' have been taken well out of context.
My family was torn apart by a sister-in-law who was intent on breaking up my family closeness. There are people who love to twist things and over exaggerate to cause problems....
I dont know why Meghan and Harry have done this...I dont know what they have gained from it apart from a lot of hurt that may never be forgiven.
They need to name who said what they claimed to have said so they can defend or explain themselves... we all suspect 1 of 4 people..how fair is that on the 3 that didnt say it. Its manipulating and intentional and very devious.

I find it hard to believe that any family member would use the word 'concern' in front of Harry...maybe they were 'curious' rather than concerned and its been taken out of context...
Which is why they need to name the person so they have the chance to defend to claim...otherwise its just their interpretation.

One of the more bizarre moments of the Oprah interview is when Meghan compares herself to the Little Mermaid – a fairy tale character who marries a prince then loses her voice, but finally emerges victorious and regains the power of speech.

Yes that's how I see it nothing malicious ,IF it was said it was probably just , someone's curiosity of what colour he would be, and really IF they are telling all they need to name names otherwise they are just fuelling speculation and that wont be good, it could have been a minor royal, but it will be left to peoples imaginations.:wavey:

[bots]

i quite believe someone said something inappropriate about Archie, but to take offence every time someone close says something a bit iffy, it's no wonder their world ended with the negativity of the press. The better person would have challenged and corrected or simply let it go rather than saying the world is against them. It's so out of proportion compared to what the average person has to deal with every day. If that interview was the real extent of their gripe, they are nothing more than spoilt brats

Whether the intention was to offend or not, the have taken offence. Whether it was well intentioned or not, its irrelevant.

[Jordan.]

1368923330909200388

Not being racist how WOKE is that

[Crimson Dynamo]

Piers absolutely nails it and is in tune with the GBP with his
latest hard-hitting article

Never have I watched a more repulsively disingenuous interview.

Nor one more horrendously hypocritical or contradictory.

They told of their constant trauma from nasty newspaper stories, but repeatedly insisted they never read any of them.

They claimed they were forced to sign gazillion-dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify
because Prince Charles cut off their allowance, despite Harry inheriting millions from his
late mother Princess Diana and having his entire life bankrolled by the Royal Family.

And so, it went nauseatingly on.

Meghan even compared her former life living in a palace to the crippling freedom-
robbing existence of coronavirus lockdowns, which must have sounded so empathetic to
large families living at the top of tower blocks with three kids they're trying to home-
school and no job to pay for food.

'I couldn't even meet my friends for lunch!' wailed the Duchess of Delusion, who flew to
New York for a $500,000 baby shower with all her new-found celebrity pals, then flew
back to London like any good eco-warrior on George Clooney's carbon footprint
guzzling private jet.

First, Meghan claimed to have been left suicidal by the pressure of being a Princess and
had her requests for help rejected by the cold, heartless Palace.

We weren't told who did the rejecting, or why she couldn't seek her own therapy or
treatment if that's what she felt she needed. After all, her husband has spent years
talking about mental health and has close connections with all the major mental health
charities.

From the moment Oprah announced her scoop, I predicted to anyone who asked me
that Meghan would aggressively play the mental health and race cards to deflect from
any criticism of herself and her own behaviour or accountability.

When it comes to mental health and having a heart, it appears Meghan and Harry only care about themselves.

top 5 comments from Piers excellent expose of the awful "interview" to give a flavour what the GBP think

1. Harry discussing being financially cut off made me laugh out loud. He is a 36 year old grown man with no job living in a fourteen million dollar mansion with sixteen bathrooms.

2.Well, After THAT disgusting performance, Harry will NEVER be able to come back to Great Britain ! You're in permanent exile now for sure.

3. This was nothing but a Soap Oprah..literally

4. Absolutely time now for the British media to just not report on these two shameful grifters ... leave them to it !!!!

5. Imagine being so evil as to try to cancel a 99-year-old man in hospital. Harry is just as bad . So weak he's betrayed his own blood, selling them out literally and figuratively for a 3rd rate divorced actress with Narcissistic tendencies #TeamQueen

[joeysteele]

Actually I watched Morgan this morning and he was extremely rude shouting over his co host.
She couldn't get a word in at all.
In fact she just about gave up.

He has an unhealthy obsession with these 2 and his rantings were even more over the top than usual.
Thankfully Trisha was there to slap him down.
Not that he took any notice, however she made the far better points.

Wondering if a baby will have the same hair colour as his dad ( which was likely anyway), is not the same as having 'concerns' over skin colour .

[AnnieK]

Its no different from saying I wonder if its going to be Ginger?....

I suppose it still depends on how its asked. When I was pregnant somme people asked me if I thought my baby would be ginger as if it were a curse. The way some people said it was like I should be disappointed if he was ginger (he was). It wasn't particularly nice and the first thing I asked when he was born was is he ginger not is he ok :laugh: I knew he was going to be in for a world of name calling but thankfully he loves his hair (at the moment). Pregnancy hormones make you a lot more sensitive to anything that may be construed as a slight toward your child.

what were the "concerns"?

[rusticgal]

Naming the person does nothing , non of us were there to hear how this went down .





So we all have to believe Meghans version do we?....I mean you believe her even though you were not there :shrug:

They have made an accusation but left the court wide open for people to speculate....they are prepared to say it wasnt the Queen or Prince Phillip..so William/Kate/Charles and Camilla have the finger pointed on them....how unfair is that. Manipulative move...I have seen it all before.

luckily you did not need to go on Oprah to share your truth with the world :laugh:

[Cherie]

Whether the intention was to offend or not, the have taken offence. Whether it was well intentioned or not, its irrelevant. I do however agree that they should have either named who said it or not mentioned it at all as it has just fuelled speculation and rumour which is how the problems with the media begin.

I think they would have left Liz and Philip in there are well for people to speculate about expect for him being on his deathbed and it would reflect badly on them

Bit of a strange one to come out with that afterwards

17 million watched it, not sure that is good or bad for the US?

[GoldHeart]

Actually I watched Morgan this morning and he was extremely rude shouting over his co host.
She couldn't get a word in at all.
In fact she just about gave up.

He has an unhealthy obsession with these 2 and his rantings were even more over the top than usual.
Thankfully Trisha was there to slap him down.
Not that he took any notice, however she made the far better points.

Honestly Joey I can't watch the man ,I've always hated his 'style' of debating . Even when he makes valid points about other things he still does it in such a obnoxious overbearing way :facepalm: . He shouts over everyone including Suzanne. Very unprofessional .

And he went from loving Meghan to then turning against her when he didn't get into her circle of friends, he really is an attention seeking bully .

Aye, how horrible of them to get offended about concerns over their child’s skin colour, absolute monsters the pair of them

The thing is too, it's not Meghan it was said to.
Whoever said it, my guess is a name will find its way out eventually.
It was said to Prince Harry, I think it was likely asked in a negative way, because Prince Harry didn't brush it off after it was said.

So much so he relayed it to Meghan.
I could speculate as to who said it, however won't.
Taking on Prince Harry's now difficulties with someone he cared more about.

I cannot think of any relevance to ask the question of what colour the baby would be.
It certainly must have flowed from some inner ignorance or prejudice.

Plus it's for Harry and Meghan to be the ones offended by the question.
Not for others who aren't people of colour to tell them how they should feel after such a question.

Plenty will and have however.
So much for being in the 21st century.
Seems a lot of decent educating needs to be done as to some in the Royal set up.
Outside of it too it seems possibly too.

I don't think that is that good for the US to be honest, 29.2 million watched the wedding. I think it will get more views from non US countries, the Americans don't really care about our monarchy

[bots]

the good news is that all this will be forgotten about in a couple of weeks unless Meghan stirs it up again

[Cherie]

top 5 comments from Piers excellent expose of the awful "interview" to give a flavour what the GBP think

1. Harry discussing being financially cut off made me laugh out loud. He is a 36 year old grown man with no job living in a fourteen million dollar mansion with sixteen bathrooms.

2.Well, After THAT disgusting performance, Harry will NEVER be able to come back to Great Britain ! You're in permanent exile now for sure.

3. This was nothing but a Soap Oprah..literally

4. Absolutely time now for the British media to just not report on these two shameful grifters ... leave them to it !!!!

5. Imagine being so evil as to try to cancel a 99-year-old man in hospital. Harry is just as bad . So weak he's betrayed his own blood, selling them out literally and figuratively for a 3rd rate divorced actress with Narcissistic tendencies #TeamQueen


Actually howling at Harry being cut off :laugh: diddums

Having 'concerns' over whether the child will have ginger hair (like his dad) is the same as having 'concerns' over skin colour (like his mum)....
I wonder if all the Ginger headed people in this country would have felt offended...
The use of the word 'concern' was not appropriate and I question that that would have been said to Harry..because its only by using that word that makes the comment Racist..

I've never cared for him Goldheart, I actually near detest the style of all presenters however.
The only time I've agreed with him, is his determination to out the government on the unnecessary losses of loved ones lives.
He had and has the facts on those too.
I better shut up on that issue though

Other than that I can't bear the man, I couldn't bear him on Britain's Got Talent too.

This morning, although I don't like her either his co.host Susannah was shouted down by him extremely rudely.

Awful, sheer ignorance and unnecessary.
They are sadly the people Tab producers think we want to see near every day in a Morning.
There's others on BBC that Naga woman and Charlie, awful pairing they are too

They, near all of them, make the viewing of the shows they're on really hard work in my view

[Glenn.]

It’s one thing to be curious about the colour of a child’s hair but to be ‘concerned’ about skin colour and how it’s going to look is racist. There’s not really anything to debate about that and if you are then you are part of the problem.

Exactly my point ,why were they so worried about Archie's skin complexion??. Meghan is mixed race and Harry is white so definitely ignorance on whoever said it . And how did they expect Archie to look ?.

I agree, it is and should be concerning to not see the difference between speculation of hair colour as opposed to referencing a person's skin colour.

It would appear possibly, a lot more education is needed in the Palace and beyond the Palace too, as to references of race related matters.

Anyway, it was Prince Harry it was said to, he then told Meghan, clearly he was offended by it, so that he didn't want her having to face that question directly from whoever said it.

Of course it's akin to a racist reference.
What should skin colour matter anyway.

it's kind of difficult to analyse what M & H wanted to achieve in the interview. If they wanted to call out racism in the royal family then it has to be laid at the individual(s) responsible ... they didn't do that.

If they wanted to shame Prince Charles by saying he cut them off without a penny, it would be more meaningful if they didn't independently have millions in the bank and also state on the original announcement that THEY WANTED to be financially independent.

By whom and how was Megan silenced. She doesn't strike me as the sort of person who would be silenced by anyone. They weren't exactly quiet at the end of the SA tour when they let it all hang out. They had a website and an instagram account that they were in charge of that they used for communication, were they shut down and unavailable to them?

I am still not clear at all on what they wanted to put across and what they expected to happen as a result of the interview

it was a much bigger crisis for the royals when diana died

[Beso]

Why hasnt she mentioned her own family?

[rusticgal]

Well...it started off convincing. Then came the inconsistances.
This much desired title of Prince for Archie was merely for protection..As senior Royals they got protection :shrug:...if they got protection so did Archie unless they planned on sending him out on his own on Royal duties at such a young age. Charles will be King in the next 10 years therefore Archie would become a Prince and get his own protection :shrug: Then when Harry joins them...Meghan says she just wanted Harry to get the protection...more important than she and Archie...:shrug:
Oh and Katie is a lovely lady...but let’s discredit her anyway :laugh:
I didn’t hear ‘concern’ over Archies skin tone...just a mention of it..quite a natural question of a family who’s white son has a child with his mixed race wife...that’s not racist...but I will replay it in case I missed that all important word.
“We had no idea what we were going to do” but they planned it...they must have had an idea WHAT they were going to do.
Harry said he wouldn’t have left if it wasn’t for Meghan...who earlier played victim to having that blame put on her...
Finally...what were they hoping to achieve from this? They have their future..they are now happy. Why dig this all up and put Harry’s family in this situation. It stinks of Revenge and self pity.

[rusticgal]

Harry and Meghan interview ditches subtlety in embrace of tabloid television
Quentin Letts
Monday March 08 2021, 5.28am, The Times

One o’clock in the morning and the sentries at Windsor Castle were having another quiet night, nothing to ruffle their Busbys. Five thousand miles to the west, kerrump, came eruptions which could send a tsunami across the Atlantic.

As a work of televised theatre, Oprah Winfrey’s interview was soft-focus: the setting bucolic, Queen Oprah in delicate mauve, shots of the royal couple’s pets and — privacy alert — of toddler Archie. There were meaningful, emotive nods as they said “yeah” to each other in the Californian manner.

But the content was unsubtle. This was Semtex in swaddling bands. Cyanide en gelee. The biggest act of strategic self-harm since the scuttling of the German fleet at Scapa Flow. It may have been presented as schmaltz but this two-hour gloopathon was politically ruinous.

“Life is about telling stories, right?” said la Markle, all high-resolution lip gloss. “Telling stories through a truthful lens.” Her eyes sparkled behind lashes as long as ravens’ wings.

Stories were duly delivered, a steaming dump of indiscretions: whinges about money and titles and bodyguards and the rotten tabloid press (which must be quite different from tabloid television). That Kate Cambridge? A B*I*T*C*H! “But I have forgiven her,” purred Meghan with her truthful lens.


Further atrocities: she had had to teach herself the words to God Save the Queen; no one had advised her how to keep her legs crossed; people had been beastly about her on the internet. We had our first blinked-back tear at 1.54am. Either that, or some unfortunate midge had made it past the ravens’ wings and had jabbed her in the eyeball.

Then came the intended killer blow: someone in royal circles had speculated about what skin tone the Sussexes’ baby was going to have. “That conversation I am never going to share,” said Prince Harry, after he and his wife had disgorged its existence to a worldwide audience.

Harry had not appeared in the first half, when we were assured Meghan was not a gold-digger. “I never looked up my husband online,” she claimed, when Oprah asked if she had done her “research”. Harry now took his place alongside his duchess and we found he has started saying “like” and he has the beginnings of an American accent. He disclosed that his father stopped taking his telephone calls for a while. Maybe Charles simply didn’t recognise him with that valley girl uplift.

The programme was entitled Meghan & Harry. Most of us used to put them the other way round. Her Grace wore a dark dress with white splodges. Blasted seagulls. She, in turn, proceeded to deposit industrial quantities of guano on a royal family that had, we heard, welcomed her warmly to their midst. Things only started to go wrong after the row about the bridesmaids’ dresses. Or was it after the couple’s official trip to the Pacific (translation: the rest of “the Firm” were envious of its success)? We heard both.

Further inconsistencies followed. One minute Meghan disclaimed grandeur, the next she was concerned about her “status”. One moment she was unfussed about honorifics, the next she was furious Archie was not going to be a prince. She was astonished when her police protection was withdrawn (bodyguards are a must-have accessory in Hollywood). The next she was writing to the Queen to say she didn’t care less about protection. Oprah let these self-contradictions go through to the wicketkeeper.

It ended with Meghan comparing herself — sorry about this — to the Little Mermaid and Harry saying “time heals all things, hopefully”. Someone possibly said the same to the Earl of Uxbridge at the Battle of Waterloo, even as much of one of his legs was disappearing over the brow

But the content was unsubtle. This was Semtex in swaddling bands. Cyanide en gelee. The biggest act of strategic self-harm since the scuttling of the German fleet at Scapa Flow. It may have been presented as schmaltz but this two-hour gloopathon was politically ruinous.

“Life is about telling stories, right?” said la Markle, all high-resolution lip gloss. “Telling stories through a truthful lens.” Her eyes sparkled behind lashes as long as ravens’ wings.

Stories were duly delivered, a steaming dump of indiscretions: whinges about money and titles and bodyguards and the rotten tabloid press (which must be quite different from tabloid television). That Kate Cambridge? A B*I*T*C*H! “But I have forgiven her,” purred Meghan with her truthful lens.


Further atrocities: she had had to teach herself the words to God Save the Queen; no one had advised her how to keep her legs crossed; people had been beastly about her on the internet. We had our first blinked-back tear at 1.54am. Either that, or some unfortunate midge had made it past the ravens’ wings and had jabbed her in the eyeball.

Then came the intended killer blow: someone in royal circles had speculated about what skin tone the Sussexes’ baby was going to have. “That conversation I am never going to share,” said Prince Harry, after he and his wife had disgorged its existence to a worldwide audience.

Harry had not appeared in the first half, when we were assured Meghan was not a gold-digger. “I never looked up my husband online,” she claimed, when Oprah asked if she had done her “research”. Harry now took his place alongside his duchess and we found he has started saying “like” and he has the beginnings of an American accent. He disclosed that his father stopped taking his telephone calls for a while. Maybe Charles simply didn’t recognise him with that valley girl uplift.

The programme was entitled Meghan & Harry. Most of us used to put them the other way round. Her Grace wore a dark dress with white splodges. Blasted seagulls. She, in turn, proceeded to deposit industrial quantities of guano on a royal family that had, we heard, welcomed her warmly to their midst. Things only started to go wrong after the row about the bridesmaids’ dresses. Or was it after the couple’s official trip to the Pacific (translation: the rest of “the Firm” were envious of its success)? We heard both.

Further inconsistencies followed. One minute Meghan disclaimed grandeur, the next she was concerned about her “status”. One moment she was unfussed about honorifics, the next she was furious Archie was not going to be a prince. She was astonished when her police protection was withdrawn (bodyguards are a must-have accessory in Hollywood). The next she was writing to the Queen to say she didn’t care less about protection. Oprah let these self-contradictions go through to the wicketkeeper.

It ended with Meghan comparing herself — sorry about this — to the Little Mermaid and Harry saying “time heals all things, hopefully”. Someone possibly said the same to the Earl of Uxbridge at the Battle of Waterloo, even as much of one of his legs was disappearing over the brow

No doubt. Obsessed piers will need someone to have a rant with I suppose

[GoldHeart]

Because that was off bounds...Oprah not wanting to put her friend in a bad light.

It was said at the beginning that NOTHING IS OFF BOUNDS , maybe they did talk briefly about her family but they had to condense the interview down as it would of been far too long. There has to be structure and not going off at a tangent .

And the fun and games the tabloids & media would have had if this interview was dragged out and broadcast over a few days , no doubt Meghan would be called a "whining drama queen" for taking up soo much air time and blah blah :rolleyes: .

Also what did you want to know about her family?, she said she's lost her dad so clearly that relationship is damaged no thanks to him selling malicious stories on her and doing bitter resentful interviews .

Her dad is obviously a painful topic , plus that wasn't the focus just like her mum wasn't the focus . This was about the reasons why they stepped back and highlighting the royal family but mostly the institution/ firm on a whole and how toxic and unfeeling it is especially behind the scenes.

As i've said already i think Harry& Meghan made the right decision, and i wish them the best and hopefully they've got that peace now . They seem happy with where they live.

Harry and Meghan interview ditches subtlety in embrace of tabloid television
Quentin Letts
Monday March 08 2021, 5.28am, The Times

One o’clock in the morning and the sentries at Windsor Castle were having another quiet night, nothing to ruffle their Busbys. Five thousand miles to the west, kerrump, came eruptions which could send a tsunami across the Atlantic.

As a work of televised theatre, Oprah Winfrey’s interview was soft-focus: the setting bucolic, Queen Oprah in delicate mauve, shots of the royal couple’s pets and — privacy alert — of toddler Archie. There were meaningful, emotive nods as they said “yeah” to each other in the Californian manner.

But the content was unsubtle. This was Semtex in swaddling bands. Cyanide en gelee. The biggest act of strategic self-harm since the scuttling of the German fleet at Scapa Flow. It may have been presented as schmaltz but this two-hour gloopathon was politically ruinous.

“Life is about telling stories, right?” said la Markle, all high-resolution lip gloss. “Telling stories through a truthful lens.” Her eyes sparkled behind lashes as long as ravens’ wings.

Stories were duly delivered, a steaming dump of indiscretions: whinges about money and titles and bodyguards and the rotten tabloid press (which must be quite different from tabloid television). That Kate Cambridge? A B*I*T*C*H! “But I have forgiven her,” purred Meghan with her truthful lens.


Further atrocities: she had had to teach herself the words to God Save the Queen; no one had advised her how to keep her legs crossed; people had been beastly about her on the internet.

Proof of lies ...oh dear

[Shaun]

I've largely avoided the topic because I cannot fathom how people spend so much of their time and ire directed at these people, so went into the interview last night pretty blindsided (I only watched the first half with just Meghan, haven't watched the rest with the pair of them yet) and I thought she came across as compassionate, calm, and pretty honest and likeable... she also possessed something that seems rare in the royal family: warmth.

I actually quite like Charles (for his environmental and charity work, anyway, don't really have an opinion on his personality) but the queen herself is just... without need for explanation. Very stiff, cold, whatever... to expect much vitality out of a person her age might seem asking too much but she's always been the same in my 30 years of life :shrug:

I think the entire subject is just an excuse for people to exorcise their demons and throw all of their personal problems at a fictional one they've created from appearing on the telly and in the press. It is... beyond desperation, the levels to which trolls (not just on here, but on here as well) will sink to bait a reaction, invade privacy, claim ownership over people's personal lives, invent conspiracy, assert falsehoods, and just show off their complete lack of empathy. It's a disease.

The British identity is in crisis; stuck between archaic tradition and embracing modernity. Desperately seeking to isolate ourselves from Europe but at the same time asserting our influence and importance over the world. As a result it seems the public are split 50/50 (as is now the case with everything) regarding them... some clutching their pearls, expecting Meghan to vanish and never touch Our Beloved Prince And His Nan ever again, others expecting a reenactment of the end of Louis XVI. As always, the solution is probably somewhere down the middle, and in this case I'd highly recommend getting over it and ****ing ignoring them if they make you so irate.

[jet]

Meghan’s ‘truth’ was rather, umm, shall we say, heavy on the dramatics and reminiscent of Diana’s early experiences in the ‘Firm’ as told in her tell all book - and which Meghan owned and read as a teenager according to a friend. (Which is why the ‘oh, I hardly knew a thing about the royals or Harry’ lines is iffy.) It’s like she played out Diana’s early Palace experiences as her excuse not to fit in and play on Harrry’s emotions, only this time around the Palace had learned from their mistakes, and were much more careful in their efforts to help her settle. I can’t see any way they were going to make the same errors that they made with Diana all over again.

Every account has been of how everyone involved went out of their way to accommodate Meghan and make her welcome.

A girl who reportedly had several Diana books on her bedroom bookshelf wasn’t as uninformed about the Royals as she let on….Her wide eyed innocence and apparent helplessness in the face of the big bad royals doesn’t ring quite true.
They took away her passport and driving license and kept her locked up in a dungeon, don't you know, so she couldn't get any help as it would look bad. Okayyy....

Their world was a million miles away from what Meghan was used to, but were they deliberately unhelpful or cruel? No way. Bottom line is, Meghan didn’t want to be helped, she had other plans. Imo.

[Ammi]

...obviously we knew that our own media would be quite filled with it but so much internationally as well and really not great at all for the Royal family... Meghan being the American gal who came to the U.K. to be with her Prince and what she met at the royal palace was a very cold establishment of people ...and some of them seeming very focused on and concerned about the shade of her child’s skin tone...

I understood it was one conversation? I know Meghan mentioned conversations (plural) in her opening clip, then Harry blew that out of the water when he was questioned?

[AnnieK]

No one or no thing comes close to Super Bowl in US. Come on now.

Not only that but I don't think the Americans have that much interest in the Royals any more. Sure, they like to watch a bit of pomp and circumstance and have their picture took outside Buckingham Palace if they visit London but other than that, why would they care? Harry and Meghan to them are no more important than any other celeb living in LA.

...I think that they are a bit more of an interest now, Annie...(...I agree with Leon about the Super Bowl...)...I think pomp and circumstance is how it has been seen but Harry especially, has now given a ‘a behind the scenes’ glimpse that is entirely different from little old England pomp and circumstance etc...

...I have no idea how accurate this would be, Amy...I just picked it out because it’s the most recent, from an hour ago...

Millions of people in the UK are thought to have tuned in to watch the interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that rocked the Royal Family.

Viewing figures for the interview could be on course to match the almost 23 million viewers who watched the 1995 Princess Diana interview where Harry’s mother lifted the lid on the breakdown of her marriage to Prince Charles.

Demand to watch online was so great that many viewers were left complaining of problems trying to watch it on the ITV Hub site.

The programme, which saw Meghan tell Oprah Winfrey a member of the royal family had raised “concerns” when she was pregnant about how dark her son Archie’s skin would be, was repeated on ITV after it was first shown in the US.
