Your Thoughts On Prince Harry & Meghan Upcoming Interview

I think that they are silly to pursue any perceived
slight to them in the past, they are not children
though they seem to be acting like them, they
are nearly 40 years old, yet they are acting silly
in my opinion.

In the past I have met some bad opinions aimed
at myself, I didn't go crying to the press, many were
racist, in London one of the most mixed race cities
in the World, the "not nice" Englishmen accused me
of coming to their country and stealing jobs and
taking money from those born here, when I had
lived and worked longer in England than they had
been alive, so I know what they have experienced,
but I think that they should not feel that they are
above all that when they upped sticks and left, and
chatting to Oprah will only turn many more people
against them.

I wish them good luck, but wish that they had asked
for advice.

Mike.

I am sorry you had to deal with racist stuff, Mike. 🤗

So, your response to a difference of opinion is to question my professional capabilities because you have personal knowledge of a narcissist? Certainly ambitious on your part. Do you normally attack those who view things differently?

Unless you actually sit down and test her thoroughly and perhaps have a session or two, you can make a diagnosis as a clinical psychologist. From afar, one really can only come to summary conclusions. I, too was a clinical psychologist in the past and I would not venture a definite diagnosis or lack thereof. I do not know this person, other than she is a former actress and the wife of a Prince.

@Mike, you sorely underestimate how beloved and influential Oprah is in the US.

I do understand how influential Oprah is in America,
I like Oprah, but she is not so strong in the UK and
I fear that this interview is a step to far, even for her.

Harry and Meghan are OK in my eyes, but I still think
that they think that they are above public opinion, we
here love, Her Majesty the Queen and they are being
disrespectful, she has had nothing to do with their
situation, yet they walked away and are now turning.

"Biting the hand that feeds them" comes to mind.

Their attitude and their methods of getting back at
the Establishment is futile and they are looking silly.

Whether they are right or wrong, in the eyes of many
here in this country, they are very wrong, very out of
order.

There are different levels of narcissism… the average person on the street is basically narcissistic. We all have these traits. To label someone if you don’t know them is an injustice… in terms of clinical mental health, someone needs to meet a specific criterion in order to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder.

I relate extremely well to Meghan, she is a Leo and I am also a Leo..you can spot us anywhere!! Many mistake self confidence, a good work ethic and an outgoing personality as being narcissistic….wrong!

I have been a clinical psychologist for many years…then in the past few years, I moved slightly over to Organisational Psychology. Therefore, my experience is extensive. I agree with Shalimar, Meghan does not display these traits.
 
If you read your statement closely, you will find that you totally contradicted yourself at the end. As far as I am concerned, this armchair psychoanalysis of Markle is an exercise in futility. The thread isn't even about whether she or even Harry are totally nuts or psychopaths or whatever. It is about the reaction to this entire melodrama and its long term effects on both countries that are possibles.

Are you addressing me Lewkat? If so, please explain how I have "contradicted"+ myself.

I know what I've written and it stands. I am asking you to explain. If you would rather not, we shall just leave it there.

I see what she means in your post above, @Dana. And clarification is probably a good thing for the thread. There's the narcissism you start off by saying that we all have to one degree or another in Post 109, then you end by saying Meghan "does not display these traits." Sandwiched between, you mention Narcissistic Personality Disorder which is what I *think* you meant to say Meghan doesn't have in your last sentence.

Why would this "melodrama" have long term effects on the average American? Most Americans couldn't care less about the British royalty.

All right then, I shall give a better explanation. Here it is: since we all from time to time display some form of narcissism, it is unfair to assume that Meghan displays the extreme of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Thanks! I don't think Meghan is probably narcissistic to the extent of NPD either. @Lewkat is right ...there would have to be one-on-one sessions and testing to prove or disprove NPD. Maybe that specific diagnosis of NPD is what triggered @Shalimar 's reaction when I said I think Meghan is a narcissist.

I do, however, think her narcissism is at a harmful level given the October 2018 human resource bullying report made by an American staff member on behalf of several women formerly on Meghan's staff.

One would need more than two sessions ... narcissists are very good at hiding their behaviour...they've had many years of experience. As regards the "bullying" I never rely on hearsay. The truth will come out soon enough.

I changed my post above to 'one-on-one' with dashes ...didn't mean to imply two sessions.

As for the bullying email, that isn't hearsay. It's a 2018 human resources report accusing Meghan of bullying two employees to the point they quit working for her as well as ongoing bullying of a third staffer.

I didn't re-read your post AnnieA..but am glad you implied more than two sessions would be needed. When I mentioned hearsay, I meant we have only what these staffers reported, and the newspapers will run with anything as we all know.

We'll know soon enough based on whether or not the Sussexes take legal action against The Times.

Earlier you liked a post I made regarding my belief that Ms Markle does not display symptoms of NPD. I am curious what prompted your change of mind.
