Your Thoughts On Prince Harry & Meghan Upcoming Interview

Aunt Bea said:
I've only seen clips of the interview but IMO the notion of racism was overplayed.

IMO race may have played a part but most of the criticism I've seen is over the way Meghan treats people, her lavish spending, and her family.

IMO this interview was a mistake.

Harry and Meghan would have been better off taking the high road towards building a new life that validates the choices they've made instead of wallowing and whining about the problems they've left behind.

Couldn't agree more...
 
I absolutely agree, Aunt Bea. If they just wanted a "normal," private life, why bare all the family's dirty linen for the public to wallow in? Is it just for the money? They're not exactly living the life of an average American; from what I gather, they are living in a gorgeous beach community, probably in a mansion. Probably a lot of their royal allowance has been cut off. So this was their way of "earning" some money.

I did feel sorry for her. She seemed like a deeply unhappy person, even while she was maintaining how happy she is now. And she felt trapped and suicidal. I doubt that anyone would make that up.

Holly, she probably was able to get her passport, etc. for temporary use, if she made a polite request to the proper office in the "institution." The same was probably true for her driver's license, etc. I don't think she was being held a prisoner, she just wasn't ready for all the restrictions that go along with living in Buckingham Palace. I think Diana had pretty much the same problem.

He is his mother's son, "I must be the centre of attention".

His mother was greatly loved throughout the world. I personally hope he DOES follow in her footsteps.


Diana was born of British nobility and grew up close to the royal family on rented property of Queen Elizabeth’s and used to play with Prince Andrew and Prince Edward . She inherited the name Lady Diana Spencer after her father inherited the title Earl Spencer in 1975. Her parents divorced when Diana was young and her father won custody of the children. She, apparently took the divorce hard.

She didn’t take too well academically but took an interest in music and dancing. As she grew up she had a great fondness for children and after attending ‘finishing school’ she began working with kindergarten children.

Diana began dating Prince Charles in 1977 while she played with Charles younger siblings.
The press and public were fascinated by this seemingly odd couple. The garden loving reserved Prince and the shy Lady Diana with an interest in children, fashion and pop culture.

In 1981 these two were engaged and months later were married in an elaborate ceremony.
She had a £28,000 wedding ring, a dress made from taffeta, silk, antique lace and over 10,000 pearls . She wore an 18th century family tiara with a 25 foot veil. Over 74 countries tuned into the wedding and it was considered the wedding of the century.

They had two sons. Prince William born in 1982 and Prince Harry born in 1984 but after infidelity on Prince Charles part, these two separated and got divorced at the urging of Queen Elizabeth. Prince Charles was in love with Fergie after all.

After this Princess Diana struggled with depression and bulimia. She felt overwhelmed by her royal duties and the intense media coverage of nearly every aspect of her life so she began to develop and pursue her own interests. She served as a strong supporter of many charities, worked to help the homeless, children in need, and people living with AIDS and HIV; something most people weren’t willing to do (especially not royalty) She even shook hands with them in an effort to try and stop the stigma and fear from these horrible illnesses.

After the divorce she spent more time raising her sons and making more charitable efforts including raising awareness about the land mines in Angola with her son Prince Harry.
She also raised awareness for people affected with cancer and mental illness.

Initially Princess Diana was noted for her shyness, but her bravery, charisma and friendliness endeared her to the public and helped her reputation survive the collapse of her marriage. Being exceptionally photogenic and having a love for stylish clothing made her a leader in fashion in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. The paparazzi just loved her.

In 1997 she started dating film producer and playboy Dodi Fayed. Their courtship was widely covered by the tabloids and many members of the royal family as well as Tony Blair did not approve of the relationship.

While visiting Paris in August 1997, Diana and Fayed were involved in a car crash which took her life. She was just 36 years old. Queen Elizabeth was criticized for waiting so long to publicly address her death but made a televised report from the Buckingham Palace on September 5th, 1997. She said no one who knew Diana will ever forget her.

Princess Diana had been known to say she expected to be assassinated . Whether it’s true is beyond anyone’s knowledge but one thing is true, she was greatly loved throughout the world. An estimated 2.5 billion people watched the funeral ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
These flowers weren’t put there from people who thought she was nothing more than an attention seeker.

Harry was given 30 million from his mothers' estate, and is currently being given a £2million allowance per year from his father..
 
New footage not aired on last nights show has now been released, one of which has Harry clearing his grandfathers' name ...

Meanwhile, Prince Philip was cleared of making a racist remark about how 'dark' Archie's skin would be, with Oprah saying Harry had confirmed the comment was not made by the Duke of Edinburgh or the Queen.

I guess I must be really naive because my husband was sitting beside me watching this and said the exact same things. He finally got up and said he couldn’t watch any more right after the part about the questioning of the baby’s skin tone. He pretty much said everything this person said and he’s not naive of peoples character and I suppose I am. 😏

To me it's like Paris Hilton.
She's famous for being famous.
She just happened to be born a Hilton and she's rich.
That's it. Why do people care?
Same with the Royals, They just happened to be born a "Royal".
That's it.

The way things are going, they will soon be royal in name only. All the blue blood will have been bred out .
 
  • Haha
Reactions: Lee
Having watched an excerpt on the lunch-time news, I can say that the blame for this situation lays at the feet of Prince Harry. He was advised not to marry this girl but, being the spoiled brat he is, he insisted on going ahead. I wonder how many people are now saying 'I told you so!'?
 
I find it incomprehensible that anyone with an ounce of humanity could ignore the pain that caused Meghan to feel suicidal. I believed her.

Anyone in my line of work who isn’t adept at spotting a liar doesn’t last very long.
As for giving any credence to the words of Piers, the Prince of Petulance, and Class Whore Extraordinaire, I think not.

I never heard of Maureen Callahan before, but she certainly is an interesting writer! I also clicked on her column about the Woody Allen - Mia Farrow
battle. Wow. Makes any controversy within the royal family look like child's play!

I don’t think you are naive, but all too familiar with intense emotional pain. Those of us who walk that path, again and again, often develop an intense empathy towards other’s suffering. I feel exactly as you do, and sadly, I lost any innocence I had long before I could read and write. Not everyone is comfortable with raw emotion and stark reality, and may dismiss those expressing such feelings as a way to protect themselves.

Don't forget that Megan is an actress and Harry has been groomed for the press all of his life. They know how to pull off a show in a way that most of us cannot fathom.
 
Just a bit of nitpicking. I know most people say Princess Diana but she never was a princess as such. Formally she was Diana Princess of Wales

From Wikipedia
The Princess of Wales is not a princess in her own right. There have been some Princesses of Wales who were addressed as such: for example, Alexandra of Denmark and Mary of Teck were called "Princess Alexandra" and "Princess Victoria Mary", respectively. However, that was because they were already princesses when they married. Diana, Princess of Wales, was commonly called "Princess Diana" following her marriage to the Prince of Wales, but this was incorrect because she was not a princess in her own right.

You have forgotten to mention James Hewitt with a question mark as to whether he is Harry's father.
