Can see this happening. However, if this IS what happened, the palace comes out of this looking horrendous, yet again. Meghan may be a diva (or may not be) but the ones who should have taken such complaints seriously and investigated at the time, instead ignored it all, only to use it as a trump card later on in life. Looks horrendous for 'the royals' really. And these leaks and such, I suspect make the royals look MUCH worse than anything that may possibly be said in the interview tbh.

Well Cherie...she is a very compassionate person. Shes so compassionate she is going to tell the world how wonderful her husbands family are...in fact she might even mention a couple of women in particular ahead of International Womens Day.
Shes so compassionate that she feels it will lift Phillips spirits as the 99 year old spends his third week in hospital with heart issues.
Shes so compassionate that in doing this interview people will realise the loss of life, livelihoods and love ones in a Pandemic just doesnt compare.
After all...she didnt have to do this. So compassionate...

Good point but they already look worse by protecting a peadophile but Meghan is somehow worse :joker: says it all really

Yes..it should have been dealt with at the time. However if it was 'swept under the carpet' to protect Meghan then it kind of goes against her accusations of not being protected. Sometimes when you try and help...it backfires.

:joker:

Yes her brother-in-law is an alleged paedo so I cant think she will waste a chance to talk about that tonight?

bring it up, condemn it

you would think that has to be first on the agenda??

Pretty much, and the public are just as much to blame, since the media wouldn't focus on things that don't get clicks. Both the media and the public find Meghan more offensive than a peadophile who has escaped any kind of justice. I honestly despise the people of this country at times. We are a nation of weak willed bootlickers, all too happy to lap up the **** that gets given to us with nary a complaint while we're told to hate a woman for existing and to ignore the predator in our midst.

Yup they ignored it and brushed it under the carpet while Harry and Meghan were Royals, and are wheeling it out now that they're "out" and in the bad books.

Says it all really. They protect their own no matter what, but get on their bad side and the gloves come off. Pathetic, really.

If Harry and Meghan mistreated their staff it should have been investigated and addressed at the time. If those staff members didn't feel like they could complain about a family member and have it taken seriously (or perhaps even feared repercussions if they complained) - that says a lot about the general culture of working for the Royals doesn't it.

It's deflection at its WORST

If he was in the news we would be talking about him, there are several threads around the time of his car crash interview and when he was headlining if you care to look back

Good point

it’s very “DIVA MARIAH REFUSES TO STEP ON PAVEMENT”

People shouldn't wait for the news stories to tell them what to think, people should be outraged at what we know about Andrew, we should be demanding a full independent investigation, we should be demanding action for the Royal family protecting a peadophile, but no, there's some idle gossip about Meghan to be angry about and that's so much worse....

But he isn't in the news because he's being protected and it's swept under the carpet, that's the point which vile and disgusting. I seriously doubt this amout of obsession and hateful energy that Meghan gets will happen to Andrew.

It's so typical of the UK. 'Rupert Murdoch isn't telling us to be mad about it, so we're not mad about it.'

I know what you are saying. Can you imagine though, if all this had surfaced prior to the Wedding, just imagine the Racial accusations that would have been made. I believe it IF it did happen it was hush hushed to protect her....and since the Royals are now being accused (it looks like) of not protecting her and silencing her...its a bit of a kick in the teeth for the others involved at the time.

It's worrying behaviour.

There's also more important stuff going on than Meghan Markle doing an interview who is also pregnant and will be attacked on international women's day.

Much as I'm skeptical of the GBP on a wide range of topics, and I don't think this is entirely wrong, I would say in this case it's one playing into the other - the public aren't disinterested in stories about Andrew, they would lap up those front pages, but the media NOTICEABLE shy away from it. It's "there" because they couldn't get away with not reporting on it at all, but there is a clear effort on their part to keep the reporting on him to a minimum. Someone has their grubby fingers all over it (and not just Andrew). Whereas Meghan is clearly considered "press fair game". Partly because she's female, I'm sure, but in this case I think the clear major difference is that she's "not actually Royal Blood". Same two reasons she has to soak up most criticism of Harry, as well as her own.

If you mean Andrew, its her husbands Uncle, not brother.

Well yeah, that too! :laugh:

It also amazes me how people can whine about Meghan doing an interview during a pandemic but don't really say anything about Piers Morgan Life Stories where other celebrities talk about their troubles during a pandemic

But it's the public's fault for not demanding more, we should be outraged but we aren't, because Rupert Murdoch's telling us to hate Meghan more and the people are complying because they love being told what to think.

If the public demanded it, the media would listen, but the public would rather hate a black princess than be mad about a peadophile in plain view.

Because they aren't being told to hate those other people.

See this is what I mean, it feels like plausible deniability. They'll drip out a story about Andrew occasionally for the public to devour, because if they stayed COMPLETELY silent people would point out that it's obviously being covered up deliberately... they give out just enough so they can say "See? We DO report on Andrew as well it is all totally fair and equal!" when actually it's a bit of story every few months and then blatant radio silence/more "Meghan was a bit mean to staff" stories. When another Royal family member has been rubbing shoulders with literal child sex traffickers. And we're supposed to consider Harry and Meghan the villains for having bad things to say about the "poor old Royal Family"? It's a joke.

Maybe because its a Meghan thread...:shrug:

I honestly don't know. The mainstream papers and television channels are largely controlled by an alarmingly tiny group of people, and I would imagine that the people at the top of Royal PR have their direct phone numbers. The press knows that an extensive piece slamming Andrew would be an absolute gold mine... IMO there simply must be other reasons that they keep coverage to a minimum.

Honestly, I used to be mostly apathetic about the royals but now I'm pretty much for abolishing the whole ****ing thing. Our tax money is going to them slinging mud and defending peadophillia, bring the whole ****ing family down.

Oh realllyyy :rolleyes:

Sounds like a load of BS to me ,why protect her then to now throw her under the bus ?? .

Either way the palace has shown themselves up in all this, and they look very undignified and it's frankly embarrassing.

But if the anger was truly there from the public, they couldn't ignore it for long, and would have to cater for it. People simply respond to hating Meghan more than Andrew.

Just pointing out double standards :wavey: but you obviously dont have an issue with it otherwise you wouldn't watch it.

true

All this drama over one person when there's more important and more interesting stuff going on in the world is just silly. Take me back to 2007 when Katie Price was everywhere in the media at least that wasn't as bad.

my bad, yes

I'm not sure any of this will achieve the privacy they desire, it seems to be making things worse as for the press and media, that's some hornets nest to prod, they can be merciless.

are you saying that there is no other stuff covered on

all of social media

all network tv

all online newspapers

all print newspapers

all radio

?

they are not covering ALL news??


what stuff is NOT being covered??

He's been out the limelight for so long I guess it's easy to get confused :whistle:

They're not even earning their worth any more :shrug: and I doubt they will for many years to come

Listen...Meghan is constantly bleating on about how badly she was treated by the Palace. She has no reason and nothing to gain from saying the things she is saying about Harrys family...she is throwing them under the bus...funny how you fail to see that.
Why doesnt she just talk about her and Harry and the future....but both her and Oprah know that wont draw in the viewers. She wants to throw some dirt....expect to get it thrown back.

Meghan WASN'T the FIRST to throw dirt but ok

It's very worrying indeed , hopefully the second baby is born healthy with no complications . All this stress can't be good.
