Prince Harry and Meghan

James Hewitt enters the chat ..

For as many of the pictures where the queen appears to have swallowed a wasp, or seems to be menacingly glaring at Meghan, I can post pictures of the same events where she is smiling, laughing or talking animatedly with Meghan.

Same would happen if I took 100 pictures of you at say a wedding - there will be plenty of you seemingly looking bored and miserable, or giving the bride and groom side-eye or the evils, and plenty of you being relaxed, smiling, laughing and joking, getting emotional or talking to the bride and groom.

It's just a snapshot of a moment.

If the couple want to distant themselves from their royal heritage, please stop cashing in on it with such high profiles interviews. That's hardly distanting themselves. They should start from scratch as harry and Meghan Windsor

I imagine that if William decided he wanted to “step back” from royal duties and make his own way in the world he’d go back to being a rescue helicopter pilot, or something like that.

Harry has decided to be a “celebrity”. That’ll definitely give him the privacy he’s so desperate for 🙄

Don’t care about either of them.

Oprah is loving the controversy.

She is making huge sums out of it.

Remember that she is a business owner first and foremost.

This has been sold round the world. Which is exactly what she wanted.

H&M are using Oprah to raise their profile

Oprah is using them to make money

And people are falling for it

You are mixing up Elizabeth I with Elizabeth II. 

I don't think that she was genuinely planning a future interview when she said that. "Maybe some other time" is just a polite way of saying no.

You're right about it being unlikely that they were friends before that though. She wasn't a "star" per se, before meeting Harry. She was a working TV actress. I don't think it was all calculated from the beginning, however. She did seem to give life as a Royal a go, but it's a mould that Harry himself never seemed to entirely fit as well, remember.

Come on this interview tonight surely cannot go bad, when was the last time a royal did an interview and it went horrible wrong?

MY THOUGHTS.

MEGHAN / RACISM
From the short clips of the interview, I don't believe for one second Meghan didn't know what to expect regarding the Royal Family, I find that hard to believe and doesn't sit right with me! Sorry. YOU WOULD KNOW, HUN. However, you cannot deny the sheer racism and double standards that the press and hate that she received on social media. Not only from the media - trolls too - which is something that seriously is an issue on social media as you all will know! Meghan has handed herself with dignity and pose, I am disappointed that she didn't have a chance to do more work with the National Theatre, it was so perfect. I have so much admiration for Harry, a man who wanted to protect his wife and child. Royalty or no royalty, he's 'JUST A MAN.' (Oh what, I did an ALW....) I am conflicted about the Royal Family - I would not consider myself a Royalist at all - but I do love the younger Royals like Harry, William and Kate for all the work they do with mental health etc. & also Eugenie for her scoliosis awareness)

PRINCE ANDREW WHO / BULLYING?
Following on from a comment I posted in here earlier, everyone just just seems to forgotten about Prince Andrew and his involvement with Epstein. It's cowardly and been forgotten about. The bullying accusations are a DECOY. Buckingham Palace are just throwing Meghan under the bus. Which brings me to this....If the bullying was a thing - why would they have come out ONLY now before this interview? HOWEVER, on the flip side, you could then argue that it's historic and not to vilify the members of the household. The truth is, no one will know the truth bar Meghan/Harry and the staff involved. It's impossible to speculate who is telling the truth.

MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO AROUND 
ONTO MY FINAL POINT. The pressure that the American network was to postpone this...THEY WOULDN'T. Oprah is a business mogel. Friend or not to Meghan - she is making a sh*t ton of money and is the last one laughing. It's worked. We're talking about it!!!

I won't be watching the full interview tomorrow on ITV as it will be all over the news prior considering it's being broadcast in the USA tonight.

If Diana and Fergie (who were raised around aristocracy and royalty) were blindsided by what to expect and had trouble fitting in, I don't find it hard to believe that an American would be even more so. I would hope that having learned their lesson from those experiences, The Firm (both the family and the courtiers) would have tried to brace Meghan for what was to come (and all the rules and restrictions she'd be expected to follow). But when you're young and in love, you tend to think, "oh, it won't be that bad...". Until it is.
There might have been good reasons why past royal families tended to marry other royal families... they knew what to expect and how to handle it (that was the women's 'jobs' and they'd generally been trained to it from childhood).

Again- regardless of the truth or not- it's gonna knock COVID off the top spot on the news

Diana died at the hands of the press. Sarah was ousted from the royal family at the hands of the press. Anyone marrying into that family claiming not to know what might happen is, in my opinion, lying.

Remember when Catherine and William “split up” in about 2004/2005 only to get back together again and get engaged? That was (in my opinion) thinking time for her. Take stock, are you really sure you can handle it? She did, and she has barely put a foot wrong.
