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.

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...

You say fairy tail ending as though meghan is dead, what the hell.

Diana got wrapped round a ****ing concrete wall in a car.

Stop comparing the 2 ffs.

Diana was killed in a car crash after leaving the family. Stop trying to use that as a one up.

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.

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...

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

Again, the onus is on Oprah to do whatever with her own money. Nobody else. Making Oprah's charitable donations (or lack thereof) the responsibility of other people is straw grasping.

Not it’s not, if a couple that have set up their own charity and bleat on about making the world a better place, then donating the money and I said half of it not even all of it to charity would be at the forefront of their minds.

Simple question?
Should the money of gone to charity or a billionaire?

The money is OPRAH'S! It's that simple.

Harry and Meghan made their own donations to more than one charity after the interview.

Jumping through hoops to make CBS or Oprah's earnings THEIR issue is just a non-argument.

Again without Harry and Meghan cbs and Oprah would not of had no earnings

If charity was that big a deal to them they would of made sure their charity got some of those millions.

I’ll ask you again!
Who should of got the money, charities like for instance
Mental health charity
Black lives mater charity
Miscarriage charity
Or a billionaire?

Oprah donates millions on a yearly basis, last year alone she donated $10 million dollars at the start of the pandemic....she is very philanthropic and so I don't think she will have just sat back counting the cash. She has her own charitable foundation that does a hell of a lot of work throughout the year and she would have been a lot richer than she is had she not donated hundreds of millions. By 2010 it is estimated she had donated $400 million to charitable causes and that was before she set up her own foundation.

Its like saying Samantha Markle would not have earned the money from her book were it not for Harry and Meghan so she should donate half her earnings. Thomas Markle has approached Oprah to tell his side, should he be unpaid and demand a massive donation to a charity as no one would be interested in him if it weren't for Meghan and Harry.

...as well as all of the tabloid media article writers etc...the ‘Royal reporters’ who earn their income from writing about the Royal family...does the royal establishment proportion those incomes into charity donations for those whose incomes are made through them...Meghan and Harry chose to receive no fee and that’s really the only fee/income in their control to decide...
