Do you think Oprah didn't ask the right questions.

[Noidea2114]

Lots of subjects were spoken about but I felt that Oprah could have asked for further information.

What questions do you think she should of asked.

My question is to Harry 'why didn't you get Meghan help with her MH if you are a loving husband'

Quite apart form the fact that the Archbishop is appointed by the Queen and is answerable to her. They totally embarrassed him by inferring he had gone behind the family’s back and duped not just the family who were paying for it all, but the British public too who were paying for it with their taxes. It’s just a gobsmacking piece of rudeness and carried the message , ‘up yours’. Apart from the fact it wasn’t legal and was in fact a rehearsal.

You've just overturned your own argument a bit though - if marriage was by your criteria you would be 'married' to the boyfriend you made a commitment to. H & M had no need of a private, secret marriage - they had a marriage in St George's Chapel probably costing a fortune and causing a lot of drama.

Is Meghan even religious?

I don’t know if I am married to my boyfriend??? He took it seriously, I didn’t. The difference is that both Meghan and Harry took it seriously

"The difference is that both Meghan and Harry took it seriously"

No, that is not the difference.

Another word, he went around telling people we were married I never did

You know what I didn’t do? I never called my ex-boyfriend a liar. I simply explained to people what happened

Well since she took instruction and was confirmed in the C of E before the ceremony yes she was. she clearly didn’t take that very seriously.

@Blueberries0112 this is getting a bit (sorry for the word) ‘bloggy’. I’m afraid your experiences with your ex boyfriend just aren’t relevant here at all.

I wonder if the inclusion by CBS editors of the "we got married 3 days before" thing, is an example of US/UK misfit of understanding? If it would be allowed and legal in the US, then the American audience would accept the anecdote. Brits however, immediately thought, "Eh? How come?" and it has possibly damaged their story, as it quite obviously can't be true (in the sense that Meghan implied when she said it).

@Blueberries0112 how many million quid of other people's hard earned money was spent on your fake wedding, only for you to say it wasn't good enough so you needed something else?

spoilt, demanding, dissatisfied Meghan can fuck right off as far as her comment about 'the spectactle' is concerned. Aside from her petty vendetta against her SIL and other whining, that tells us everything we need to know about the ghastly woman.

These day so many people say they don’t need a piece of paper to be married: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/adulthood-whats-the-rush/201011/is-marriage-just-piece-paper-today

And I think Meghan believes it too

I think we all agree that almost any one of us could have asked better and more pertinent questions. It was very clearly not designed to be a real interview. They've had their limelight (for now) so can we just try to ignore and forget this pair of whining spongers?

@Blueberries0112

Everyone calls her Kate

I thought she was never known as Kate but always Catherine in her own family and friends circle though. (I am not going to swear to it though).

From what I have read , Catherine wanted to be called Catherine after she got married. More formal name.

For me, I think one of the interesting parts of the "interview" was when Meghan referred to Kate and said, "she's not a bad person."
I mean, talk about damning with faint praise! Either say, "Kate's lovely, and would never intentionally upset someone" or..... SAY NOTHING.
I think that this was sneaky and disingenuous.

Indeed. And actually it was not just rude it was telling the world that the Archbishop was unprofessional by marrying them secretly. What a disgusting position to put him in, and all because H&M are (IMO) just egotistic petulants.

That’s fine. So why get married at all? But let’s not pretend an exchange of promises in a garden is a legal marriage because it isn’t. If she didn’t think marriage was important she could have saved the nation a shed load of money. She made a mockery of the whole thing by saying what she did. It was very ill judged and shows her in a very poor light. The fact that Harry sat there like a tame sheep just nodding along is pretty awful too.

The family would never accept their wedding their way. What if Meghan wanted an outdoor small wedding with one witness , would the people accept their marriage? If Meghan and Harry eloped in America this way would the royal family accept it? She probably wished they eloped.

I think I remember Meghan being reported to have said that their wedding generated billions of pounds' income in tourism and so forth.
Maybe that's how they justify it in their minds? They were doing us all a favour. Silly old us, lining the streets and cheering, or sitting watching it all on TV with a glass of bubbly.

You NEED TWO witnesses for a marriage to be legal.

I don't think it would have mattered how/when /where they got married as long as it was legal. I don't think it would have mattered if they hadn't been married at all, except of course then there would have been no position within the Royal family., no money etc. If they were planning their 'escape' they could have done it before they got married than just pleased themselves.

I caught up on my ironing during the wedding. There was deffo bubbly though.

Yes exactly.

"The family would never accept their wedding their way."

How do you know this? More to the point is that, had they had a quiet little "do," the RF would have been forever blamed for it being about Harry being "only" the 2nd son or there being some kind of disapproval about the match (sounds like a Jane Austen novel).

Harry is the grandchild of the monarch and son of the future one too, and as such was 'entitled' to such a fabulous wedding. Also, the general public wanted to witness it too, and feel involved. And what a wedding it was too; a real unifier.
I confess to feeling (when I even think about it, which isn't often) a little miffed that they came across as laughing at the subterfuge of it not being the "real" one for them.
