Not really easy for everyone though.

"The interview will be staged in two parts, with Meghan first speaking about everything
from 'stepping into life as a royal, marriage, motherhood, philanthropic work to how she
is handling life under intense public pressure'.


She will then be joined by Harry and the couple will speak about their move last year
and their future 'hopes and dreams for their expanding family'.


Titled 'Oprah With Meghan And Harry: A CBS Primetime Special', the programme will air on March 7."

In Andrews case it's in hiding more than living a quiet life, lets be honest, no one who's done nothing to be ashamed of should have to live in the shadows like that creep

He's being protected, that's why.

Harry and Meghan will never know peace from the press regardless of what they do, the best they can hope for is to control the narrative and co-operate on their terms.

I was responding to your reply to Nicky...its in context. You were talking about their desire for privacy and the press bullying a pregnant lady.
I know she can do what she wants....but wouldnt you just think that a woman who had gone through a traumatic miscarriage and now blessed with a healthy pregnancy would just stay out of the limelight instead of putting herself out there for the possibility of more negativity and possibly more stress?. I mean thats just common sense right?
Where do I condone the medias bully antics?....

Why shouldn't she? We encourage people to speak out because it (should) help with awareness and empathy. By speaking out about her struggles of motherhood, or of her miscarriage, she's bringing to light that such issues can affect anyone, and such articles can help people understand the pain involved in such a loss but also help those that have suffered it feel less alone.

By making out that she's being 'theatrical' in talking about her trauma, you're invalidating it, you're making light of it.

Exactly...it can be done.

Harry and Meghan have nothing to hide from or be ashamed of

Yes he does....and if you desire privacy it can also be done...I think thats the point. Of course Harry and Meghan will attract more press attention...but if you keep putting yourself out there the more you are going to get.
Anyway...mus get my ironing done

I have suffered a miscarriage...so I wouldnt make light of it.

Sure they could go into full lock down and sneak around in the shadows but that isn't much better is it? Not much of a life. I'm sure they just want a happy balance

[Tom4784]

It can be done... when you are a peadophile that's protected by the system...

But Meghan is so much worse! She's a mixed race american that dared marry a prince! So much worse than a peadophile! Let's direct all that hate towards her and ignore the palace protecting a monster in their midst!

But you did, you invalidated her trauma by making out that she was being theatrical by telling her story.

Yes its Tough


But now they get Cash

Have you had a sneak preview Arista?

Meghan being hated on for making the public aware of her miscarriage is possibly one of the lowest and most ridiculous reasons I've seen for disliking her yet.

Not in my view, they commented in the US election for example, where was the need for that? That is what I meant by you reap what you sow

It was nothing to do with THE story...how am I invalidating her trauma?...it was the way it was worded

If thats aimed at me...I never said I dislike her for making the public aware of her miscarriage.

On the note of it not being that easy for Meghan to get away from the media I remember a story last year where some men from the media who i find creepy managed to get pictures of Archie in the garden without consent. Meghan doesn't put him out there.

[Tom4784]

Meghan will never be able to keep away from the press, she and Harry are too profitable for them. It's the height of naivete to think they could just shut up and be left alone, like there won't be cameras aimed their way wherever they go.

If you can't force the media to leave you alone, your only option is to control how much of an impact they have on your life, otherwise they'll be in control.

Exactly. The only way they could really do that is never go outside their walls again, why would anyone want to put themselves in to a self made prison?

Exactly this.
I'd also add of my own view, who are the people who would want anyone who hadn't done anything wrong, to have to do that either.
That would speak even more volumes.
