Your Thoughts On Prince Harry & Meghan Upcoming Interview

Meghan and Harry were not paid for the interview.
From Cosmopolitan: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a35546969/meghan-markle-payment-oprah-winfrey-interview/

"Page Six reports the couple aren't taking a fee for the interview with their friend and neighbour, writing: "A spokeswoman for the Oprah Winfrey Network confirmed that the couple won’t be collecting a paycheck and said that no donations are being made to their charity."

...one because Harry was paid a handsome sum for the James Corden interview.. and secondly as was stated before, they've signed with netflix for a guaranteed minimum $100 million dollars.. by refusing the fee for the Oprah show, they're fooling most of the people into thinking they're not money orientated... ( I'd be extremely interested to know , not that we'll ever find out, on what charities their fee will actually be spent ).
 

Markle had been around the block a few times before Harry came along. Most actresses are known to have been, so she wasn't naive about what joining the Royal Family or the Firm as they are called. The taxpayers of the UK want their money's worth and start balking and they'll hit back. Can't blame them. She had a lavish wedding, her father in law, the future King walked her down the aisle and millions of dollars were spent on them. Doing a few good deeds in return doesn't seem so harsh to me. Of course, if you belong to that family, you cannot go clubbing, pursue acting, etc, so for an American it is restrictive. She knew this. Harry, using Diana's situation is merely a lack of mature thinking on his part. This is trying to mix apples with oranges. Their situations could not be more different. They could have used some class, quietly spoken to the Queen and Charles, asked nicely to be relieved of all obligations, promised to no longer be a burden on the British people and all no doubt would have been well. Instead, they took this road, invoking racism, stifling, and lord knows what as their out. Childish and tawdry beyond the pale.

When they (she) decided to leave, they didn’t even have the decently to speak with the Queen first.

Remember him playing pool naked in a suite in Vegas. He had his wild days.
 
What a lot of negative comments. I see Meghan and Harry have been hung out to dry by many who have no real inkling of the actual situation.

The fact is, Harry has aways been the Queen's favourite grandchild. She welcomed Meghan into the "firm" for the sake of Harry, but later grew to be very fond of Meghan. She even took Meghan with her on the royal train, took her under her wing, something she never did with many of the other family members, and it is only recently that Kate and William were given access to the royal train. Prince Charles and Camilla too were very fond of Meghan.

Meghan's popularity with some of the senior royals, caused a lot of jealousy among those who felt they were not privy to some of these privileges, so the hate fest began. Although there is an element of racism in the mix, a lot of it has to do with the fact the Queen and Prince Charles liked Meghan and tried their best to welcome her. People don't have to come out and say "I don't like you", they can do this in so many subtle ways, you'd be amazed. I have little doubt Meghan has been made to feel very uncomfortable in royal circles.
 
Regardless of perceived favorites, etc, it is mere conjecture to say that jealousies arose due to who was favoring whom at what time. It is the fact that there were reservations regarding Harry marrying Markle from Prince Philip on down. What also is a fact is that when the fracture began, it could have been forestalled with some mature heads using some good old fashioned common sense. Instead we see what a couple of spoiled fools who feel entitled to the world owing them a living has led to. Watch Oprah or don't watch. The drama will be played out all over the US and the UK.
 
I understand some get totally immersed in "Royalty". The last time I saw them on TV, the "royals" actually looked human. I doubt there's some magic royal component inside their average looking bodies. I can't understand why there is this intense interest in those people's lives, when most of it is inconsequential. And I also understand that, to many, I'm some kind of heathen for saying that.
 
I haven’t a clue what’s going on since I don’t read the tabloids or watch shows that discuss such things but I did wonder what happened to their plans to live in Vancouver Canada and discovered that they were living in an enormous mansion but suddenly moved to live in Los Angela’s California. After just researching this discovered the main reason being that Meghan is an actress and her agents, friends and family live there which sounds reasonable.

Then I read that the Canadian government was no longer funding their security costs nor would they provide RCMP officers to assist the metropolitan police force assigned to the couple and apparently they weren’t happy about this. 🙄😬

In that case, I’m glad they moved to the US since I’m quite sure our specially trained RCMP officers and metropolitan police have more important things to do than look after these two.
I best not say any more 🤐

This has been a very interesting discussion and it's plain that few people have any sympathy for this couple.
I would like to clarify something. It has happened in the past that the heir to the throne has died and a younger sibling has inherited (Richard 1, Henry V111...to name two), so it is possible that Prince Harry could become king.
 
Harry was not happy living within the archaic and stifling restrictions of the monarchy. He and his offspring have no chance to be King. To me he looks very relaxed now. Mentally, he should be in better shape. It is strange how palace supporters think that a 37 year old man cannot think for himself. Why would he need his grandmother to decide on his dreams/goals?

Furthermore, the palace announcing that an investigation would commence on alleged Meghan bullying staff members is ripe with hypocrisy. Why investigate snippy talk with staff when the palace has turned a blind eye to Prince Andrew's alleged dalliances with underage girls while in the company of Jeffrey Epstein? I bet Andrew doesn't travel without a security detail. Those guys could have provided info on where and when Andrew was at different times. The palace is morally bankrupt on this issue.

"The royal family has been accused of practising “double standards” over its investigation into the bullying accusations against the Duchess of Sussex, with some comparing it to the palace’s handling of questions about Prince Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

In an interview with Sky News, Carolyn Durant, the co-author of a biography of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle called Finding Freedom, accused the palace of hypocrisy in the matter."

On the matter of the bullying, the victim made a formal complaint to the personnel people but no action was taken. However, a record will have been made. An investigation is now under way, so hopefully the truth will be made public before long.
