to be honest its like hearing one side of an arguiment from a collegue at work

you sit there saying "omg" "really?" "blimey, what did you say then?"

but in the back of your mind you are thinking

"aye right and if i spoke to the other person maybe id get a completely different story..."

Airing your dirty laundry in public is demeaning and always makes things worse in the end

tonight will be broadcast on all our dutch channels

Someone is asking why Oprah never challenged them on anything and I get that they wanted to put thier story across but there is always two sides isn't there and they know the palace will not do a full on interview,also someone mentioned Harry himself had to apologise for making a racist remark to a soldier so as much as I like Harry ,practice what you preach.

I did think they might have wished Phillip well.

11.3m watched this last night. Wonder how many of them claimed they wouldn’t be?

id imagine the same who say they hate Piers Morgan but watch LIfe Stories and GMB every morning, like a drug...

:hee:

..so many memes etc today as we can imagine...just a few of the more gentle ones with Diana, I’ll post...

wow, I was expecting much higher, I guess an early night was more tempting for most :laugh:

Literally we are all prisoners, Meg can relate and only 11m tuned in lol

Which you just did about what I wrote..I didnt give an opinion so practice what you preach

Hasnt prince Edward got that one sewn up?

She wasn't there to challenge them.
This was a long planned vehicle for them to tell their story.

It wasn't a debate.

She did push, she pushed to get to the root of the lack of support for their mental health issues

She pushed to find out who made the racist comment..
To both Meghan and Prince Harry.
Prince Harry himself who it was said to, refused to identify as did Meghan.

If you were doing an interview, where you were presenting your side of an issue .
Would you expect to be challenged by the person you'd agreed to tell it to.

As for Prince Philip,Prince Harry indicated with James Corden, he still talked with him.
When was this recorded, would they even have known Prince Philip was still in hospital.

It wasn't a live interview.

However, my point, if I'd agreed to tell my story of why I'd taken some move in my life and what were the things that shaped that move..
I wouldn't expect in that chat, to have challenges to it from someone who themselves had no real.knowkedge of the internal set up.
Which both Prince Harry and Meghan certainly have.

I've had the opposite to you, I've had people wishing they'd talked more and Oprah less.

11 million is HUGE for a 9pm showing on a weeknight

Watching a TV show that happens to be presented by someone you dislike is massively different from watching an interview dedicated to a certain person though, isn't it. :facepalm:

The Prince Andrew interview got 1.7m

:whistle:

I mean, yes it's one side of the story and everything they say could be truth or half truths or lies, we could sit here and argue all day about it however for me the proof of how shabbily Meghan was treated by the press is all there in black and white (pardon the pun) Did anyone ever come out and defend her when she's getting bullied to **** by the papers? That alone tells me her story holds some water :shrug:

That's the highest I've seen ratings for a while.
The most watched thing over Christmas was the Queen's broadcast, with less than that.
Only around 8 million +

I know of a lot of people who have recorded it to watch today or later in the week.

I'm sure there's people who say they didn't or wouldn't watch it, that actually did.

I myself wasn't sure I was going to a week or so ago, however I decided I would because I wanted to hear the whole content and context all was said.
So I could comment with the fullest knowledge relating to it.

I wouldn't know I never watched as it's brazenly obvious he is a peadophile and I have no desire to indulge his bull****. Hope you enjoyed it though.

She and Harry do not read newspapers or look at them online they have stated

and I doubt anyone in the Royal Household would have said "here, Megs did you see what they said in the SUn today about you?"


The press thing is a scapegoat

They get far, far worse on Twitter which is unregulated

Im sure i get dragged very occasionally (and i mean very occasionally what with me being down with the kidz) on that discord thing but i never see it nor know how to look at it so i remain unbothered

... Crikey, the makers of The Crown must be checking their bank accounts by the moment and already planning season #2647589....I should watch it some time...

Yes.
It was also the programme they agreed to in order to present their side of their decision and why they made it.

It is clear on the vile headlines of the press and the comparisons of her with Kate.
That their claims against the press are justified.
As a court has just so ruled.

Only they know the full Royal set up of the institution they highlighted and how bad it became for them.

Of course the Palace won't accept that account, it's all shrouded in mystery.
I was only 5 when Princess Diana died, however it seems to me, the same dark, sinister and cold institution it was when she was in the Royal machinery.
Hasn't altered at all.
Nothing changed, nothing learned or dealt with.
So I too can support the view they were genuine in this interview.

I see no reason for them not to be.
After all they walked off once it reached for them a more dangerous level.
Plus it was a fully born and bred Royal too who forcefully was presenting and confirming what Meghan had indicated.
Namely Prince Harry himself.

He lived through the trauma of his Mother's death as a child, he must feel traumatised that he was then witnessing his chosen wife, heading into danger as his Mother did.

It's staggering to think the Palace wouldn't have made sure that could never have been the case.

:laugh:

It's actually pretty good and I wouldn't be one for following the Royals by a long way

...just touching on his mother’s death and his all time strained relationship with media, which is going off topic but your post made me think of it for some reason, Joey...I recall his words in an interview and felt his emotional pain so deeply when he spoke about photographers taking photographs of His mother while she was dying in the car...we just can’t imagine, can we..no matter what ‘privilege’ someone is perceived to have...

...yeah, its never appealed to me and I usually go off recommendations quite a bit and it’s been strongly recommended by so many...this is all such great news for the makers of it...:laugh:..

they were foreign paparazzi not UK doing that and they were freelance and not affiliated with a specific french title. Three were fined one Euro each
