Sit tight, she’s on...

[HeathIns]

Oprah is annoying me already.

I also wonder why her family wasn’t mentioned.

@StellaDendrite

As an aside... She is stunning looking. I know she has had a nose job but she has a lovely natural look.

Has she really had a nose job?

The laughter at the end was telling. He looked troubled and she looked like the cat that got the cream.

Good luck with rebuilding the relationship with Charles when you've done your version of Diana's interview sticking a knife into Charles.

All the hashtags and conspicuously supporting mental health I wonder if for a lot of people it’s a catchphrase. Something to be seen to do

Yes - some prominent commentators who talk about Be Kind have shown their true colours.

Harry said his father now takes his calls again.
I bet tomorrow he's permanently engaged 😂😂😂

Also, why did MM need to go to the 'HR department for medical support? Surely as adults, they can access healthcare as they need it?!

Many of the women who married into the Royal Family have been picked apart by the Press. Fergie, Di, Sophie. Even Princess Anne used to get really bad press at one time. But Meghan somehow feels it’s just her. Di, Fergie, Sophie, Megan, all knew what being a Royal meant - lots of sacrifices to be made, and not able to express any opinion in public unless it was approved first by Royal Family advisers. It just comes with the territory, but no-one is forced into it. There’s been girl friends in the past who have stepped back, with the excuse that they don’t want to be part of it.

Imagine this:
Celebrity divorcee is introduced to prince via friend. She apparently never looked him up despite being known to be very organised and intelligent (and wouldn't most of us look someone up nowadays?!)
Whirlwind romance
Engagement comes around swiftly
Bride-to-be complains in an interview that no one asked how she is
Newly engaged say they want to become involved in climate change projects
Woman flies to the US on a jet for a baby shower
Bride estranged from family
Bride estranged from father
Father-in-law agrees to walk down the aisle
Wedding - 'I only wanted a wedding for us 2' - invites no family bar mother, very few friends BUT several celebrities, incl famous chat show host only met 3 months previously
Falls out with new family and in-laws
Decides to move to another country due to privacy
Ends up in Hollywood
Wants privacy
Agrees to a tell-all interview that will be broadcasted globally

If you read this and didn't know who it was about, would you not think this was a third-rate soap opera? I think they believe they are telling their truth but it is through her/their eyes.

I'm beginning to wonder whether Meghan suffered from ante-natal depression....depression is often characterised by feeling out of control and often people feel that others are 'out to get them'...

There is two hours I'll never get back. I wasn't surprised by any of it. Absolute guff. I'll get back to treating covid patients with my complex PTSD from seeing awful things for the last 40 years with zero support from my employer and 1% pay rise then while they are living their best life still expecting the British taxpayer to pay for their security. My family is mixed race by the way I'm not a white supremacist.

@ChocolateSantaisthebestkind

The QM left him the bulk of her money because Charles and William would be set.

Didn't QM leave debts so great the Queen had to settle them personally?

I doubt there would be much in that estate unless jewellery gifted before her death or something? I certainly can't see how there would be any cash or assets.

@the80sweregreat True.

I wonder how different things would be if Diana was alive.

If you love someone enough, you love their family too.No. absolutely not
I love whom I want to love,whom I feel deserves it and it’s a choice not an imposition
I’m not an appendage of my partner , I’m not compelled to like or love his family.
I’m autonomous and I make my own choices and we support each other but there’s no overarching sense of must do or compulsion

I don’t think MM/Prince Harry or the rest of the royal family are coming off well from this interview.

I think MM has been treated appallingly by some of the media and some of it is racist. I don’t think that being part of RF is an easy life and I don’t think she was aware of what she was joining. You can google etc all you like but even then until you are on the inside it is very hard to know. Perhaps Harry should of been clearer and perhaps the family could of provided her with some more guidance. Unlike Diana and Kate, she was older and previously lived an independent life so the adjustment of suddenly not being able to do things her way would be even harder. We know Diana had a tough time despite her background. I don’t blame MM or Harry for wanting out but I think they’ve handled it very badly. Some of the things they’ve said in the interview just don’t add up- the wedding, the title. I suspect there is a lot of truth in what has been said but it does come across as playing to the American audience, who wouldn’t necessarily know about needing witnesses for a wedding to be legal in the U.K. (I’m not aware of the legality rules in the US so I’m unsure if it is different) or how the title of Prince or Princess is inherited so I doubt there would be as many questions regarding the account by the public in the USA.

I also don’t think the RF have handled them leaving well either and appeared to not have learnt from past experience (Diana and Sarah Ferguson) so there is blame on both sides.

We’ve heard one side of the story not the other. I suspect that side B also have aspects that don’t add up and neither side is faultless. There is ‘their truth’ as to how they see things, the ‘palace’s truth’ and the actual truth- something which we will never fully know.

is tje reason its so disturbing coz it makes is examine ourselves, our 'Britishness', our 'values' our awful press??

I think so hence all the dismissing & minimising.

It is not right to expect the taxpayer to fund your protection if you have decided not to do the work.

Can you imagine Parliament going along with that? Harry and meghan are not exactly poor. And in fact they are paying themselves now poor things.

The whole thing is so cringe.

@ParkheadParadise

Harry said his father now takes his calls again. I bet tomorrow he's permanently engaged 😂😂😂

😂

-Dreadful american smultzy style that doesn't translate very well over here.

• I think he is 'more on the outside' because he isn't really a Royal and so they cut him off as quick as possible. (he looks nothing like them)

-I think he didn't know privileged he was and Megan came along as a breath of fresh air. Those rules ---- there are no rules! -I hope they go on to live their lives happy and free. -The current RF don't exactly look like beacons on health and wholeness. Who would want to give their whole lives to what is essentially made up rules of convention?

For all his talk of how she rescued him, how wonderful it all is, he looks quite miserable and dead behind the eyes. He looks how I felt during a very bad period 5 years ago, his mouth is sort of tight, the eyes small. And I agree that there is no chemistry there between the two of them.

The title thing is being twisted. Ro quite someone else:

"The issue I see is that Archie would technically become Prince when Charles becomes King, that's protocol BUT Meghan is saying that they wanted to change that law so Archie wouldn't become Prince and that was due to his race"

People are entitled to their own opinions but I can't believe how much hate there is towards Meghan! It's astounding; completely unnecessary and downright cruel. She's a human being for christ sakes!! All these royalists defending an institution full of bullying racists, nonces and murderers! You're all sick if you think this type of behaviour is ok.

Archie will grow up and marry into another celebrity family and be a bit of a general disappointment to everyone

Lovely thing to say about a 1 year old.

Why didn't we hear about her family?

So sad that history has repeated itself. It sounds like they had no choice but to leave.

But I don't accept that Harry couldn't have gotten her help when she was suicidal. He didn't even tell family members how she was feeling.

Let's see if the RF react.

Dh and I wondering wandering what their game plan is as they are really burning their bridges here particularly Harry.

Wasn't Kate PG just before the wedding, maybe she was feeling delicate? MM was allowed to feel fragile during her PG but not Kate? If it was all squared away, why bring it up? That was a nasty move IMHO

I wonder what the Royal Family think about the comments about her mental health, the tabloid relationship, her suicidal thoughts and the fact that neither of them got support.

I would be saddened and shocked if DS felt he couldn't come to me and get my support, no matter what.

It's what being a parent is about. Being there for your family,
