Your Thoughts On Prince Harry & Meghan Upcoming Interview

If they had made major contributions to science or the arts, done something heroic to alleviate poverty, world hunger, etc., I could understand why they are such celebrities.

As someone who comes from a family with a lot of drama and estrangements I will say this: Unless Harry and Meghan figure out a way to clean up their family relationships, their lives will be permanently damaged by the rifts and estrangements. Every single day they will think about those separations. Estrangements should be reserved for offenses so deep that separation is the only way for at least one party to maintain mental, emotional or physical health.

Meghan made a big mistake, IMHO, by not helping Harry to broker a peaceful separation from his family. Ultimately he will likely resent her for fanning his flames of discontent rather than cooling his anger towards the family and redirect it where it most likely belonged (chafing at the constraints and expectations of being a royal, even a lesser one).
 
Since I don’t follow the Hollywood, the Royals or watch the news, I have no idea what’s going on. I while back I heard from my husband, who heard from the ladies at work that the couple was headed for Canada. That’s all I heard. I thought it was pretty cool until I realized that they expected our tax payers to pay for their safety & security. I figure if they have enough money to purchase a mansion, then they have enough money to hire their own personal security guards. That’s been my only errrk.

This drama thats happening is beyond my understanding. It does seem like they love each other a lot and when a man loves a woman, his wife, the mother of his children, he’ll do anything to protect her so while I don’t know all the ‘in’s & out’s’ of this story, Isn’t that part , at least admirable ? Stand by your wife, man, partner?
 
I will record the interview and play it back while fast forwarding past the 876 commercials. Using the number of comments on this subject, I can only guess that the viewership will be enormous...super bowl like. Their life is a real world soap opera...handsome prince, beautiful actress wife...monetizing their situation in the good old USA, the land of opportunity. In the UK it would be grief; in the US, $$$. More power to them.

I'll add that I always thought highly of Harry for serving his country in uniform, and I believe that is true in the UK. He could have just gotten a few photo ops in an orphanage or something and be done with it.

I find Meghan very attractive. I might be old but I'm not dead. I would like to see her in a movie some day.
 
With all the "hoopla" surrounding this interview. I will probably watch it....just out of curiosity. It's supposed to air tonight on CBS at 7PM, Central time, and given that there is usually little worth watching on TV, anyhow, perhaps this interview will keep me awake.
 
Actress, schmactress! She was a nobody and is getting too much attention for her skills. She's not Emma Stone, she's not Scarlett Johansson, she was in a series not on a primetime channel. Harry was definitely more famous than she was. So, I doubt her experiences will influence everyone. That's all. Personally, I have nothing against them, or for them.

Well…for all those who say they won’t be watching the interview of the century…you won’t be missed!! Sixty (60) countries have bought the rights for it..so.. a lot of people will be glued to their sets.

I will certainly be one of those people because I am English (as well as an Australian citizen). I am very fond of the Queen and it is true to say, anything that happens within the Royal family is important to many.


Although I do not care much for many of the other members of the family, having them there is good for the British economy. They draw in the throngs of tourists that visit England each year. Having said that, like every system, it needs a spring clean! I just hope no one is hurt too much in the process.

I can see where you coming from because don't the royals sit on the toilet just like everybody else? What's with all the ridiculous worship in the 21st century? Oh well, the Queen forgot about having a stiffer lip instead of worrying guarded secrets may be revealed.
 
"Oprah turns to Harry, asking if he would have stepped back from his life in the Royal Family if it were not for Meghan.

"The answer is no. I wouldn’t have been able to," he says. "I myself was trapped."

Oprah pushes back - asking how a "literal prince" could be "trapped".

I was "trapped within the system", Harry replies. "My father and my brother are trapped. They don’t get to leave, and I have huge compassion for that."

No wonder the palace was so nervous!
 
Avocados for morning sickness - that’s a real loaded piece of toast. LMAO! That was funny.


Well after watching that I totally support these two in the decisions they made as a family to leave the Royal Family and can’t blame them in the least.

Everyone knows the tabloid papers stir up chit to create business. Years ago I do remember newspaper headlines poking fun of Meghan for how she felt her baby bump and how often. Don’t all pregnant women do that? There were many unfair criticisms of her and after a while thats bound to catch up with anyone.

From how everything played out, I think these two did what they needed to do to survive. Harry did stand by his woman with what she was experiencing the best way he could, which in my opinion is admirable. They didn’t want to be played with by the tabloids nor did they want to stick around if their son wasn’t considered royalty due to the colour of his skin.

I don’t blame them one bit for leaving. It’s easy to say Meghan should have known what to expect. I disagree. People who get married don’t know what to expect from married life. It’s nothing like going on dates together. Imagine suddenly getting married and having to pretend most of your living existence. Yes she coulda, woulda, shoulda but didn’t follow through but in those circumstances I would have been out of there too.

Harry and Meghan were told where they stood amongst their family and had a tough choice to make. Naturally their health, happiness and welfare needed to come first which is why they moved. Now they have started their own businesses and are supporting themselves. Now they have dogs and are raising chickens while expecting a second child; a baby girl.

I’m happy for them and wish them nothing but the best. If keeping the media happy means forfeiting their very life, they did the right thing ‘for them.’ ( in my opinion )

I watched this interview this evening....and found it fairly interesting. There were a lot of "innuendoes" where this couple was reluctant to give any names of people who they have a conflict with, but is seemed pretty obvious that they have abandoned any future interaction with the UK royalty.

My initial impression of the UK royalty, after this interview, is that this is a "clique", or a very closed fraternity/sorority that does not react well to any outsiders joining in.....and places a lot of priority on what the "tabloids" think.

I really don't care what goes on in the UK royalty....this show was just a bit of "diversion" from the endless coverage of this pandemic, and the ongoing/endless nonsense that goes on in our own government....And, I managed to stay awake for the entire 2 hours.

Precisely but they rely on the keeping the tabloids happy since thats what creates money. That’s what people buy into. Without the tabloids and social media the monarchy probably would no longer exist so there is pressure to keep them happy, no matter what the cost ( or so it seems )
 
Is everyone talking about "The interview", (Meghan Markle spilling the beans on her treatment, as she sees it, by our royal family to Oprah)?

I've made an "executive decision" not to watch it tomorrow night when its aired here, so will rely on others to fill me in, but just a few comments come to mind, based upon the little I know of Meghan Markle.

When first announced as Prince Harry's girlfriend I admit I was sceptical about her, but fairly quickly she sort of won me over, as she handled herself well, "looked the part" etc., and on her wedding day, although I only caught the happy couplky leaving the church, the strength and confidence she showed was impressive, and it was Harry looming far more nervous.

What else to say, well Germaine Greer suggesting she might prove a destructive force so far as the royal family is concerned, (before they married), looks very insightful now of course. I wonder why our laws on privacy in the UK appear to prevent Thomas Markle publishing the contents of a private letter, in order to counter what he felt were false stories about him, and the way his daughter treated him, seems unreasonable to ne, especially when this same Meghan Markle appears to think publicising details of "private conversations" with other royals, fair game.

The Duchess of Cambridge making her cry before her wedding, "well boo hoo" to that tit bit. I know Kate Middleton is almost too perfect in her role, and must be a very strong woman, but I'd suggest any row between them could have been kept to themselves, as they've shown a different side to their relationship too, when attending high profile events, together with the two princes.

Our queen appears to like Meghan, went to watch Wimbledon tennis with her, and they attended other events, so that was all positive I feel, and our royalty will survive I'm sure, (much longer than Meghan and Harry's wedding I predict, and we can look forward to another Oprah exclusive interview once again can't we!). :)

Qft.
 
I agree with you...although she was totally unsuitable for a royal prince, she was welcomed by the British public as well as the royal family. I think the queen went out of her way to be nice to her. I do wonder exactly where it all went wrong.
Did Meghan expect too much? It seems to me that she wasn't properly informed about how her life would be. She is used to Hollywood, where anything goes. The royals stick to rigid rules, perhaps she couldn't cope with it.
I think Prince Harry must miss his family. He will soon be dividing his time between the two countries.
