I think this whole thing is a shameful act which is just begging for publicity from a couple that claimed to have wanted their privacy.

I am not a monarchist but feel so much sympathy for the Queen, not in her role as a queen but as a human being of an advanced age with worry about her husband.

I do not think this will go over big and will only make the couple look bad and could perhaps lead to a downfall in the monarchy down the road.
 

I empathize with Harry and Meghan. Their mental health was being severely corroded. I applaud their sensibility in transplanting themselves and their child to a less toxic environment. I think it is very important that they lift the veil of

secrecy, and speak their truth as they see it. I also believe very strongly, that had Meghan not been a strong, beautiful, capable woman of colour, the press would have been far less savage in its treatment of her. Frankly, they have vilified her far more than they have Prince Andrew who had questionable dealings with a known paedophile.

I have no idea what this is about, or what will be "revealed" in Sunday's interview. But it does seem strange, since they fled England and pretty much fled the monarchy in search of more privacy and a more normal life, that they are granting this type of interview at all. Is being interviewed by Oprah on national TV their version of privacy?
 

For some unknown reason, I get news stories about Megan and Harry in one of my news apps all the time and not all from the same sources. I read an article the other day in which Prince Harry said he felt he had to get out due to the bigoted British press about his wife. He also felt it was time to step down for the sake of his own mental health. He had mentioned in another interview that he didn't want his wife to suffer the same things his mother did with the British press. Also, he knows he will never inherit the throne so moving on and living their lives is not like shirking responsibilities as future king. They seem like they want to engage themselves in humanitarian endeavors and for that I applaud them. I doubt they made this decision lightly. Perhaps when I watch the interview (if I can access it), I'll feel differently but from things I've read, I think this couple gets a bad rap.
 
I do not see that Meghan was treated unfairly by the press in the beginning and she was certainly not treated badly by the family, to me at least it seemed they were bending over backwards to welcome her.

The charitable acts such as giving out food, hmmm could be seen as publicity stunts, if they really wanted anon they could have donated that way.

Meghan is an actress, a good one, I love seeing how her expressions change.

I think this may be an attempt to undo some of the emotional damage they have incurred through taking control of some of the narrative rather than continuing to grit their teeth and remain silent. I also believe they are committed to moving forward with their lives in a positive manner, raising their children in a healthy and nurturing environment, and continuing a life of service.

Have you read some of the filth the British tabloids wrote about her, or listened to Piers Morgan, scorpion extraordinaire, vilify her? I can smell the racism from here.

I watched a James Corden video with Harry and Harry said he "never walked away from the royal family". He said "it was stepping back rather than stepping down". He said, "whatever it is from the other side...my life will always be a life of public service" no matter how anyone looks at it. This was at the 10:30 minute mark.

Perhaps this is why Harry is going public....wanting to set the record straight.

 
Do not see how the Firm treated her badly....she was walked down the aisle at her wedding by the future king of England.

As far as the media slams, Meghan's own family was responsible for a good deal of that. Hmmmm have to wonder if she will bring that up in the interview. Bet she does not, she will focus on the Royals.
 
It is not uncommon for many of us who are white to shy away from the discomfort of accepting that racism is alive and well and project blame onto the person who has suffered from it. often, we don’t even recognise we do it. Whatever crap came out of the mouths of Meghan’s white relatives, the press treated them more kindly than they treated Meghan.

I think the whole interview thing was the brainchild of Oprah, not theirs. They have nothing to gain from it, and want their privacy.

Oprah, on the other hand, wanted "her greatest interview of all time" .... She should take the heat.
 
I hope that Meghan has been warned not to say anything which is untrue or she could find herself being accused of slander. Her problem was with the press, not the royals or the British public.
I think perhaps she didn't understand what being part of the royal family would mean, and she wasn't properly coached for it.
I wonder what will happen as a result of this. She has been accused of bullying her staff. We may now find actors who have worked with her now coming out with tales of her behaviour on set.
 
Strong, confident, articulate white women are often accused of bullying their subordinates. I have experienced this myself. It can be far worse for women of colour. I fear the sharks smell blood in the water. it is likely to become very ugly.

I don't know much about the situation but when I see interviews with Harry he seems happy, relaxed and his decision to break away appears to have been the right move for both of them.
I wish them well.

On the contrary, I think he looks deeply unhappy and uncomfortable. I think, personally, that Meghan never wanted to live in Britain and take the role of royalty. It's obvious she is much more relaxed now that she's back in her own world. It would have been so much better if they had settled in America in the first place.

I think that they will play heavily on the princess Diana hounded by the paparazzi story, ...which is far removed from how MM was treated.... in fact the British people on the whole including the media went out to welcome her more than any other ''commoner'' to marry into the royal family

We'll just have to see what's said.. whatever it is, I believe that they've burned their boats completely with the royal family.. such a pity they've done this when prince Philip is having heart surgery...but isn't this a repeat of what she did to her own father ?
