Your Thoughts On Prince Harry & Meghan Upcoming Interview

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

I've read that Hewitt himself said he and Diana didn't start sleeping together until after Harry's birth. Harry as he ages looks more and more like Charles. Their eye placement and nose are starting to look nearly the same.

I'm amazed how a family spat has morphed into this. .Apparently, THE interview was a sensation. Some "unknown" Royal" spewing racial bigotry. No, I didn't watch it. Just saw the blurb on the news. Why do I get the feeling the interview with Oprah came with lots of Oprah's big bucks, too.

Some how I'm not buying the bit that these two are just your ordinary, run of the mill philanthropists do gooders.

I think they're donating the Oprah interview fee to charity. Smooth move considering they've chosen philanthropy as a career path based on the sketchy American 'foundation' format. Money can't buy the 'brand' advertising they got from doing the interview.

At the onset of the interview it was clearly stated that H & M were paid no fee for the interview.
 
As I read through the post-interview comments I'm greatly reminded of politics. Confirmation bias is very much at play here.

Those who already had a sympathetic bent toward H & M (and Diana) found the interview to be candid, perceived that the couple made decisions appropriate for their family, and mourn their estrangements.

Those who disliked H & M (and Diana) were solidified in their view that these were spoiled children who should have known better, acted better, and good riddance to bad rubbish.

News to me was the symbiotic, though often dreadfully unpleasant, relationship between the tabloids and the royals. Also the micromanagement by The Firm and The Institution. I thought QE was the boss, but apparently she has to toe the line, too.
 
Apparently from the little I've read thus far , Harry was only permitted to be in at the end of the interview... well no surprise there then ..what Meghan wants Meghan gets.. and while she was spinning her yarn he couldn't give the game away could he , so bring him in at the very end and only talk about what's been already rehearsed ?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Omg...control and manipulate at it's finest..

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

Oprah, on the other hand, wanted "her greatest interview of all time" .... She should take the heat.

I'll stick with my pre-interview opinion.. 😀 ... it was an interview which should have never happened.

I understand they made decisions appropriate for their family and don't blame them for leaving; I would hate the royal fishbowl life. But I think they've behaved immaturely in many ways before and after the split including this show.

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.

I agree completely.
Being a couple of cry babies isn't very attractive.

I honestly have to wonder if Harry knew the content ahead of the time he came on. Meghan could have told him any number of stories as to why she wanted to be interviewed first so as to stir the pot without Harry there. For instance that she might have said she would be too nervous with him around, or that she wanted it to be a surprise.....snicker

By the time it was Harry's turn, all had been said and too late to turn back.

I am confused. I understood that before retirement, Holly worked for a major charity, while her husband worked for the media? (At least that is what she told us on numerous occasions.)

This has been brought to my attention...just to correct your error. not for the first time .. I worked almost all my adult life in the media... as does my husband still... then one year after my retirement at 55 I took a position with an International Charity ...you're welcome!!...
 
How to deduce who asked the question on what Archie might look like?

Queen and Phillip ruled out by Harry
Not William or Kate due to age making them more in touch with reality and biology.
The culprit has to be Charles. I can see that type of coarseness coming from him.

And to think today is Commonwealth Day!

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.

Not only that, Oprah made a friend of them leading up to this Interview, and no doubt her team have been very 'helpful' in coaching them how to conduct an interview, and what they would really 'like' to get across in that interview...
 
Over the years, I've read articles about the emotional abuse that Princess Diana suffered by Charles and the rest of the Royal Family. So, I wouldn't be surprised if what Meghan and Prince Harry said is true.

Honestly, I'm not a fan of the Royal family at all. All that British tax money sent their way so they can live the Royal lifestyle could be much better used on other places....education, medical care, the poor., etc.
