[Beso]

Harry and meghan, a match made in hell.

2 much past personal history for them both to properly bond as a durable husband and wife team. imo.

I like to ask why Meghan and Harry didn’t ask for at least half of the money made by the interview with Oprah go to charity instead of millions going to a multi millionaire

So, why is the onus on them to donate Oprah's money? That's on Oprah.

Because without them Oprah wouldn’t have an interview or the money.

Yes..why didnt they donate the whole fee to charity...or did they say they did ophrah for free?

That's a very good question actually.

It was confirmed long before the interview aired that they were not paid for it.

As long as certain things were mentioned.

What does this even mean?? . You know they didn't get paid for the Oprah interview , so not really sure what the angle is here.

They made it clear that certain things would be mentioned in the interview before the interview took place, the fee would have been the bargaining tool that enabled the tools to be allowed to air thier chosen tripe of the day.

It's well documented that they did.

[Beso]

I'm not seeing Marcus rashford being paid for anything hes highlighted.

[Beso]

Infact, all I see is Marcus rashford hiding from the limelight whilst still doing more good for the things hes highlighting.

He is what I would call an honourable rich man.

Someone who's talent, rather than ones status has thrust him forward as a voice that should be listened to.

A man, in a young mans boots. One gracefully enough to shun the limelight, one who will avoid the headlines as well. A young man who came from nothing, yet still managed to capture the nations attention.

...I want to compare him against harry, the talentless sob story, who is fortunate enough to come from the proper stock.

Yet Harry who decided to stop leeching off the state and go do his own thing is the subject of your ire and not the institution of the monarchy itself or the members who continue to pocket millions for doing nothing.

Hmm.

I think goldheart mentioned something about tescos.

Perhaps I would have applauded him if that is what he actually did. Instead hes used his privaliged status to become an obnoxious self indulgent balding ginger snob.

Tescos. Aye. Yeah.

At least he's not using his privilege to get away with touching kids and avoiding prosecution.

Haven't most people took advantage of stuff to get something? If it ends up putting food on the table and taking care of the family now and in the future then no big deal. It's not really harming anyone. He's earning his own money and not peoples taxes so win win.

Yep, everyone takes the privileges of their life/situation to make the best of them and turn them into opportunities. Not harming anyone either.

Indeed this is correct.

The point is, there are millions Worldwide, who will want to hear what this couple are involved with, plus that they're doing okay.

I was chatting to an elderly couple on Friday who I thought would be really mad at them for the Oprah interview and leaving the UK.

However, this couple developed a distanced bond they called it with Princes William and Harry at the time of their Mother's death.
This elderly couple's fury then was at the Queen and Prince Charles.

As they pointed out too.
Prince William is fully programmed to be King, so had a whole different set of duties in the Royal business.
Prince Harry hadn't those constraints so will see things differently.
So both Brothers can and should if they wish live their lives differently.

So even more after my chat with that couple, felt, whether it was so or not, (although I do believe Prince Harry and Meghan Markle), once he felt his wife was unhappy and even possibly in some danger, he was right to plan a whole new life for them both.

Of course there'll be people who will think them bad and wrong for stepping out that goldfish bowl.
To be in a bowl of life where they can allow in what and who they wish to or accept.

Equally there's those who like them and those who don't.
I've actually given up even trying to do reasoned debate on them.
Because the positions are entrenched.

I've always just wished them well
I have put in more than I thought I would as to them, even on here, because I hate character assassination with no substantiated facts.
Whatever he does, that's legal and of no harm to others, as to work or other earning routes.
What harm is he doing as you point out, none.

I will perhaps read or watch some things on them, other times I'm not bothered, they will never be impacting on my personal life.

If I, speaking only for myself here, however If I couldn't bear them.
Had no respect at all for them.
Then I'd never myself, just as to myself, no way would I be wasting my time reading up all on them, especially in proven disrespectful tabloids.

I just again, wish them well.
Good luck, if at times I read, they appear to have made a success of their big decision to step out of the Royal bubble.
That they're happy.
Then that's all I need to hear, no one should be forced to live their lives for others in order to satisfy a ridiculous word like duty, as to the Royals.

I was a firm Royalist, however Royalty is riddled with problems in its set up.
I'd still keep the Monarchy, however it needs big reform.
Plus the reactions to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, which I fear the Queen doesn't look like dealing with properly.
She'll listen to her advisors not her family more likely in my view.
Well, that's taken me to not view the Monarchy now in the same light I saw it before all this.

You can have riches, space galore, all material things possible.
IF you feel you're in a straitjacket however for near all the time, needing to watch what you do, say, where, when and to whom.
Never able to just feel free and enjoy life and those things.
Then that sounds more like a living nightmare to me.
Not really living at all as a person,and certainly not a worthy or acceptable form of duty either, in my view.

I watched the interview but it left me feeling ambivalent... I mean yes it sounds horrible what Meghan and Harry went through... but it's the Royal family, it's well documented that they are steeped in tradition and there is a strict protocol if you get involved with them... Not saying it's right but it's very naive to believe there would be a happy princess fairytale ending and not to research the family background, especially after what happened to Diana... However I hope that they are happy in their life going forward and that bridges can be eventually rebuilt...

That is not what i meant at all, so sorry if any offence was taken. I just thought it was naive of her to believe that she would be a princess and everything would be all magical and wonderful like in a disney film, given the well documented history of the Royal family, not just with Diana but many others i.e Wallis Simpson, Alice keppel/ the Shand family. But I do hope Harry and Meghan will be happy together and that the family will mend their differences...
