I have watched the interview. I also read the transcript. They did not say what you are claiming.
Where did I say they were beyond reproach? I’m a believer of forming opinions on actual facts rather than flawed media narratives. I don’t know them, they might actually be the worst people in the world, they might be all the things everyone wants to claim about them. But until that is actually proven by the actual things they say and do rather than something “a source close to them” said, I’ll keep an open mind. Harry’s memoir opened up a window about how he felt within the family, that’s his lived experience. I’d love to hear the alternative view from someone who thrived in that environment, that would be an interesting read. We know that the other most famous spare has some issues over her life, facing many of the same scenarios that Harry did, and yet in the end she defended the family. Her own story would be a fascinating read. From a mental health point of view, it would be a good subject to explore.
I’m more interested in the reasons people choose to take sides, believing everything they read. The media narrative that saturates everything is “William = good, Harry = bad.” That has always been the case to an extent but it ramped up massively when he met Meghan. If we go back to when William first met Kate, he was doing something unthinkable, potentially brining a “commoner” into the family. The way the press treated Kate and her family was appalling. She was hounded and abused, and yet now she is perfect. William said absolutely nothing publicly about that at the time, he didn’t defend her much, or stand up to the press. Indeed, he appeared to distance himself from her for a while. At no point was he accused of doing anything wrong by considering doing something so terrible to the Royal Family. Yet in Harry’s choice of partner, he was as much the problem as she was. Arguably his partner is way less important as she will never been Queen, so what is it that makes it so terrible that he was brining her into the family. Nobody has ever been able to explain that, other than to make up things that neither of them ever said or did.
People use the Oprah interview as if that is their origin story, ignoring everything that happened before then. Why would that be? It simply doesn’t make sense that so many people so ardently hate a couple who they don’t know, unless there is something else going on that I don’t know about.
