Your Thoughts On Prince Harry & Meghan Upcoming Interview

With regard to the baby's colouring... I wonder if it was taken by them deliberately out of context to suit the narrative ... perhaps someone asked what colour the child's hair might be..would it have the Spencer red or would it be dark...

It's the sort of question any of us might ask if there was a dominant hair colour in the family

It's due to air at 9 pm and already it's getting as much media time as our elections. Definitely won't be watching

I certainly won't be watching it, there is more interesting things to watch on television plus I have no time for people that air their dirty linen in public.

That is me done with this thread now.....( hopefully)
 
I watched and personally thought it was very well done. Oprah stated before it began that they were receiving no pay for this, nor did they know what questions were going to be asked.

so with that in mind, I watched. They didn’t seem to say or do anything that would embarrass the family. In fact I thought they were quite lovey as far as the queen goes and how they felt about her. What I mean is, It doesn’t sound like they ever can let their hair down and have hot dogs and s’mores around a bon fire and just “be.” Ever

I know nothing about the monarchy. Just assume that it is more like a business than it is a family.

I don’t (and didn’t) find anything wrong with meganand harry not wanting to live that kind of life. We are all allowed to quit our jobs if they make us unhappy. Why shouldn’t they???

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.

Actually she was named ‘The People’s Princess’ by the majority of the world and I agree with the majority of the world. The way the world mourned when she died , with all the flowers and notes of sympathy , said it all.
At least, to all that loved her.
Not to the haters.
 
Just to address a minor point, Harry was not only "permitted" to appear at the very end of the interview. It was a 2-hour show, and he came on at the 1-hour mark. He took part in the entire second half of the program. I did wonder why it was only Meghan for the first half; I guess they had their reasons.

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.

This is true, but I also won’t ever forget how Charles married Princess Diana knowing he was in love with another woman ( Camila )) Why?
Was it because the media, the tabloids would gobble it up more? The Royal family seemed to prefer pretentiousness over reality and Camila didn’t seem good enough at the time to play the part(?)

I don’t for a moment think Diana cheated on Charles. I fully believe she loved the man and when she discovered he was actually having an affair with Camila was devastated. I don’t for a minute think she faked that. To me, and most others, she was genuine, hence her given name, ‘The People’s Princess.’

Soooo, nothing would surprise me about the Royal family and what goes on behind closed doors.

I think you mean the divorcee, Camilla.
 
Prince Harry said he felt pressure and wanted to get his family out of there. I think they also want to set the record straight what with all the rumors flying around about them, some quite nasty. Like @Ceege I'm not a fan of Prince Charles, well in fact I can't stand him and his mistress wife who conducted their affair so indiscreetly that it's shameful. @Rosemarie if that adulterous woman is considered suitable to marry Prince Charles, why isn't Megan suitable? She beat out all the other women Harry dated so she must've been suitable enough for him. It seems some things in the royal family fly while others do not. Why should Harry and Megan be under the royal thumb when Harry will never become king, no matter what he does (or doesn't do). They want to do public service. If they hold true to their goals, then I applaud them.

Camilla was married (not separated or divorced) when Charles and Diana met. Diana had several affairs while married, though Charles cheated first. There was a period of time when Charles was faithful to Diana from courtship to when emotions became strained in their marriage and he turned back to Camilla. But he was still in love with Camilla the whole time and Diana knew it early on and was very hurt by it ...rightly so! I think The Crown portrayed the sex timeline otherwise, but that's a fictional show parts of which are fact based and but other parts are loosely based on the Royals.

I wasn’t the one who mentioned whether she was married or not nor was it my main point. My main point being that Charles married Diana while being in love with another woman. Why did he not marry her and save the heartbreak.
And I know this thread isn’t about Diana but since she got such a bad rap, I assumed these two may have too. I’m ok with being wrong though. I have a tendency to think emotionally instead of logically when I hear people talk about suicide so I’m obviously biased.

Charles had a duty as heir to the throne to produce an heir. Not very 20th century, not fair to Diana at all.

He could have had an heir with Camilla if the palace hadn't put the kibosh on that relationship before she married Parker-Bowles. Guessing The Firm AKA The Institution found Camilla unsuitable and wanting.
 
I did not see THE interview. Only snippets about the couple supposedly ratting out racism in the "Royals". Supposedly a unnamed " Royal" made remarks. I have to view this episode with great skepticism. Why go on worldwide TV, with Oprah, to make racist claims, but refuse to name the perpetrator? If there is a legitimate reason for not naming that person, why are you on TV, telling the universe about it. Of course, I don't have any personal knowledge about anything the couple alluded to. Yet, I question the couple's motives for the public accusations, and then becoming so righteous they won't name names.

The depiction of Meghan as a black baby screaming for money is overtly racist and should be removed from this thread. 🤮

Didn't even realize it was a black baby. I guess I wasn't looking for that :unsure:

My only point is that money is what this gossip talk is really all about. I've edited my post to suit your sensitivities.

Well that’s what I’m getting at. Others may have a different opinion but to me, it look like she got blind sided. Then again Meghan is nothing like Diana but it does make me wonder how many decisions are made to keep the family looking good in the public eye, however I do think Meghan knew more about the family than she admits in the interview. I’m sure some of it is BS but I do know that the press needlessly picked on her from the very start. I presume that comes with the territory. I really don’t know! I’m merely guessing.

My husband who isn’t very sympathetic at all sent me a cartoon. He isn’t an emotional person like myself. He’s the opposite but I best not post it. Lol

With $3.5 billion to her name, no direct heirs like a husband or children to leave her fortune to, a brand that becomes increasingly valuable, friends in very high places, and an extremely loyal fan base, Oprah isn't hurting for money, status or opportunities.

Meghan and Harry's Netflix & Spotify deals reportedly combined to yield $135 million, so they're not likely to weigh in on our penny-pinching threads anytime soon either.

Say what you will about Ms. Markle, she had a personal estimated net worth of $2-$5 million before the wedding. Money she earned by working. Harry didn't have a dime that was earned outside of inheritance/family/royalty/government connections until the Netflix/Spotify deal.

Some of Meghan's wealth pre Harry was from working, but some came from divorcing a millionaire. Details of her divorce have never made public, but Trevor Engelson's net worth was much higher than hers and they divorced in a community property state.
 
In my view our UK monarchy, albeit an anachronism in the modern world, (where it would be fair to say heredity counts for virtually nothing in the eyes of so many, where I find myself described as a "biological father", as a way of denigrating me, and the stepfather became described as the "real father"!), still means a great deal to a fairly large proportion of our population.
Let's say, (to be kind to her), Meghan was not suited to the royal lifestyle, and inevitable restrictions placed upon someone's life, (Prince Charles used to talk about " Not having chosen to be a king/future king", many years ago, so that's the other side of things isn't it!).
This turbulence in the royal family will pass, and as I've said, you could get long odds, on the monarchy coming to an end before Meghan and Harry's marriage, (no doubt there will be a host of jokes dreamt up by comedians to look forward too as well, :). ).
