The royal family

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

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'

BasiliskStare · 16/03/2021 19:07

I think Meghan did not realise the order of succession in that H & she would be a step behind William. It's how it works & if neither of them got that I think - fairly poor. OK not everyone agrees with RF but it is how it works.

What makes me rather sad is that if they had the will to do philanthropy / espousing charities in the way they think - they could have had such a good platform from which to do it. & don't have to worry about a roof over their heads & I agree - if M had huge MH problems - well , there are ways of accessing help which I do not believe were not accessible .

I wish Princess Anne could take over from the Queen as and when ( & I hope later rather than sooner) but again - not the way it works.

Ah well - I do wish them well , but I hope they drop throwing out random unsubstantiated things re Harry's family . If it it is true or you (they) believe it - say it & name and shame - otherwise don't say it because a whole load of people will come under accusation. I think chucking out an accusation and then saying - not going to say who it is because it might reflect badly on them & I am not comfortable talking about that is cowardly.

Grin Mrs Merton.

Does anyone else think, with all that's going on now, that aside from his petulant drivel about money and security, M left H when she took herself off to Canada with an "I'm off, up to you if you come with me" ultimatum. And that baby no 2 is a sticking plaster, just like Harry was?

Mysterian · 16/03/2021 19:10

Oprah makes money from interviews with famous people, not from doing good interviews. By being uncritical and fawning she gets more big interviews.

Coronateachingagain · 16/03/2021 19:11

@redspecial

Harry is shitting all over the whole family, including himself and his wife.

They are making themselves untouchables. A listers and HNWers rely on discretion and privacy as much as the royals do.

speaking of which, the Clooneys are nowhere to be seen!
Coronateachingagain · 16/03/2021 19:14

@Myphone

I wonder if they are going to continue to communicate through the press until they get exactly what they want. I can’t see how this type of behaviour is any different to what her father is doing. Passing on stories of private family business/conversations to the press for personal and monetary gain. It’s sad.
This. Certainly not different from the very thing they criticised on others.
customwatkins · 16/03/2021 19:17

She fawned all over them and didn't ask any decent hard hitting questions. I was really disappointed in Oprah and am now questioning other high profile interviews she's done and whether they were authentic.

Is it possible that William will be crowned king after Elizabeth ? I mean can his father decide it should skip over to William? Maybe that is why they told Harry’s children won’t have Prince or some other titles
Yes but Charles won’t do that. I shouldn’t think W is keen to be King sooner than necessary either.

H will be a footnote by the time William is king.

Imagine being William or Charles and thinking the conversations had gone OK all things considered, or even not brilliantly but its a family matter, then GK is all over the TV a few days later spouting off courtesy of H.
And comes across as very peeved off about this.

Ponces on about how he stands up for his family, protects his family, the Great I Am, but it's fine for his wife to sit there and slag off his UK family like some sort of episode of Jeremy Kyle in an Armani dress.

Charles and William must be devastated. I can’t imagine how painful this must be to William in particular. Harry is shitting all over the whole family. This is the legacy his beloved brother is leaving him to deal with when he is King.

So much for Harry and Meghan saying the interview would be their last word on the matter. Telling others and getting them to leak to the press is what you’d expect from someone like Katie Price. Katie Price is totally loyal to her family.

** "I can’t imagine people are going to trust Harry or Meghan with private conversations so they will increasingly find themselves cut off from the royal family>>

I guess that’s the reality of royal family, they only communicate with each other through staffs and media. It’s not a family at all.

TBF it's hardly anything new; the RF have been doing it for years, as we saw when the knives were out for Diana, Fergie and others

The difference is that the family are part of an establishment which gives them real influence, whereas H&M's is more ephemeral and based on little more than passing headlines and their own notoriety

Well they are throwing the whole Hollywood arsenal, let's see where this ends. At the moment they are keeping on target, as someone said, until they get what they want, including the money. Imagine the agreement they would have to sign to agree on any thing, on both sides! The difference is though, this couple is much more focused on the short term, while the RF are playing a long game.

@GoLightlyontheEarth

Did you bully your staff? Why did so many leave so quickly? Why did you sack your first nanny during the night ? Why did you write a letter for your father with the help of palace staff and then circulate it to your friends ? Why didn’t you research your future in laws and husband? Why didn’t you consider the restrictions and expectations of your new role? Why do you feel the need to spend so much on designer outfits? Did you like your husbands family? What efforts did you make to fit in and get on with husbands family? What stopped you finding yourself a psychotherapist? Was your phone confiscated? How exactly do you reconcile your feminist views and need for a ‘voice’ with having made salacious burger ads and having a breast enhancement? Why did you deny having input into Finding Freedom? Did you get on with William? Was there anything at all that your in laws did right for you do you think, apart from the Queen? Why did you invite so many celebrities you hardly knew to your wedding but left out all your family apart from your mother? Why didn’t you introduce your father to Harry before you got married? Where was your mother when you were growing up? Why did you want to give up your career to marry into the royal family when you had the option to keep on with it, since you are such a feminist? Are you at all grateful for having enormous wealth and a gorgeous home now? When will you let go of your many grievances? How do you reconcile your treatment of your father with your creed about kindness and compassion? Why do you feel you have the right to lecture people about how they should live? Do you consider yourself a kind and compassionate person with empathy and tolerance?
This programme I would've watched !

Or maybe it is a ‘family’ but on steroids? We come on here to vent about our families for support. They, both parties, go to Oprah/press for support. Like Mumsnet, they are publicly getting told they are abvvvvvu. They chose their forum/arena.

BasiliskStare · 16/03/2021 20:50

I thought they were a bit rubbish in that interview but then , ach , that thing was meant to raise their profile / make them more popular in the US rather than UK. ( I guess) So essentially my opinion is irrelevant to them & if they can just keep quiet about RF and get on with Netflix etc then they can do whatever they want , for me.

Why do you refer to the Duchess of Cambridge as 'Kate' when you know she prefers to be called Catherine?

Did you throw her flowers in the bin?

Why did you think it appropriate to wear a £50000 dress for your engagement photos? Twice the national average wage - did you think this would endear you to the British public?

chaosrabbitland · 16/03/2021 21:46

oh so kate made you cry ? could you tell us a little bit about what led up to that
is it not true that you and harry both said before archie was born you didnt want a title for him so he had a more normal type life ?

harry why do you feel upset when your family cut you off financially when as you say you do have millions in the bank ?
do you regard living in such a big house as eco friendly as i know thats something you and harry are both passionate about ?
do you think regarding security it would have been fair to expect the uk taxpayer and the met police to shoulder the burden of paying for your security each year if it was possible for you to have kept it ?

SmidgenofaPigeon · 16/03/2021 21:52

BIG red flag for me they got through three nannies in a very short space of time. As a nanny myself I’d itch to know what the issues were. In my particular nanny bubble of Kensington, we talk- and we all know to steer clear of employers who burn through nannies. There are some absolute horrors of parents out there!

I don't know about the nannies but the staff manager has said about the personal assistants that quit. This was what he wrote at the time in a letter of complaint. Something about Meghan fixating on an assistant. Picking on her until she drove her out. He said it wasn't the first time she had done that to a member of staff and it had to stop.
SmidgenofaPigeon · 16/03/2021 22:03

Yes you see there MUST be something in these staff issues. From what I can gather on the nanny front, it seems to have been a control issue so I suspect M just wouldn’t let the professional nannies just get on with their jobs. That’s a nightmare as a nanny. Totally undermines you and you think well why hire me if you can do everything better yourself!

Truelymadlydeeplysomeonesmum · 16/03/2021 22:11

To be hired as a royal nanny they would have been very experienced and some of the best you can get I imagine. Which means to get through so many is definitely interesting

One of the personal assistants had worked for Robbie Williams before. So she had a good track record too. The hired her just for Meghan so not a member of staff loyal to the family or anything

Noidea2114 · 16/03/2021 22:28

I've read somewhere that Meghan has kept the emails to prove that she wasn't a bully.
But wasn't part of the recent court case that she didn't keep any emails she had deleted them all.
If that's the case she could be incontempt of court.
