Harry & Meghan Oprah Interview Tonight

She was pregnant with Archie, but wanted to commit suicide?! I mean I would have half way of believed it if she said after Archie was born.

Diana threw herself down a flight of stairs when she was pregnant with Harry.

I watched it and feel bad that I did. That said, I really have never liked her so perhaps my opinions were tainted.

The Monarchy is a family and a business. To me, when you are marrying a member of a family, you are also marrying into a family. In this case, you are also marrying into the business. Just because you didn’t do your research doesn’t mean they are bad people. It means that you made a mistake and didn’t do your research. While in a family, your child is just as important and exciting as your siblings child, in public and in a Monarchy, your child doesn’t hold the same rank and your sibling’s child who is in line for the Crown. Sorry, that is reality.

She came across as a prima donna and always had done. Her expectations and reality didn’t come together. Case in point is her meeting the Queen for the first time. I could almost hear her thoughts of, “Oh seriously, I have to courtesy?” That would be a clue that perhaps reality isn’t in line with your expectations. Another point is her and Harry’s job. Yes, life happens and there are times that you have to just suck it up, put on a smile and go to work. That is reality. The RF is photographed. The RF are all scrutinized. I mean Kate wears the same dress and we get pictures from the 1st time she wore it as compared to now. Kate is more in line with reality than the amount of money spent on Meagan’s clothing, but both are commented on in the media.

It comes down to respect. Kate earned the respect she is given because she respects others. Even in respecting the privacy of the family. Meagan could have her voice and respect if she had simply gone about it differently.

I do believe that “the Firm” talked about race before marriage. I am sure “the Firm” discussed many things like, married before, divorced, actress, American, etc. To me, it is only natural for a loving family to express their concerns and point out things to consider. But both have taken the discussions like a huge negative - Meagan about race and Harry has let it ruin a good relationship with his brother.

I listened to Harry throwing Prince Charles and his family under the bus and I kept thinking about the consequences. I admire Prince Charles wanting Harry to write down his plan. It puts it on paper and forces you to think about the consequences. Being Royal and being in the public is his job. If he doesn’t want to do his job then he doesn’t get the money. Sort of like everyone else. We would all like the money and not have to work. But that isn’t reality.

To me, she deserves an award for her acting. She used all the right buzz words. She uses them with Harry to manipulate him to get what she wants. While I totally believe her when she states that she was feeling like, “What have I gotten myself into and how do I get myself out of this,” it comes across like, once again, too manipulative. Again, using the buzz words and worse of all, using the same situation as Diana to get to Harry. And before you go off on me for being unsympathetic and calling suicidal feelings manipulative, I have btdt and even admitted to the hospital after a suicide attempt. Meagan’s situation just felt different and more like she wanted attention.

I feel badly for all involved. It has to be hard on everyone and no one deserves to be thrown under the bus.

Thanks for indulging me. I apologize for my length, I have no one to talk with about the show. I also have my opinions and last night just cemented my opinions of Meagan and Harry.

Wondering how dark a baby's skin color will be is not at all the same thing as wondering whether he/she will have red hair or blue eyes. Skin color is about race and how the world sees the person

As a Black woman who wasn’t welcomed into the family a large part of why I walked away is because my parents are dead and the only set of grandparents my future children would have had would have been my ex-partners. One morning I realized how selfish it would be bringing kids into that type of environment and just cried and cried. I bet Meghan had a similar dilemma which contributed to feeling suicidal. Everyone wants the best for their children and when you know you are birthing into a racist shit show I can’t imagine the angst.

Another thing to note not giving his parents the pleasure actually prolonged the relationship. We were together for 6 years and it was probably 3 years too long. O and guess who still married a Black woman. His wife looks a lot like me minus our hairstyle choice so I bet his mom can’t believe her luck. 🤣🤣🤣

I completely disagree.
Skin colour is a physical characteristic determined by what combination of genes you have and is expressed by the amount (or lack of) melanin in your skin. It's the exact same thing as eye colour and hair colour etc.
Wondering about the genetics of how much melanin a person will end up having isn't automatically racist. For some people who assign negative attributes to the amount of melanin - then it becomes problematic, but not every person in the world does that (as as much some people here would like us to believe that)

"Race" on the other hand is a social construct - race is much more complex than just the amount of melanin a person does or doesn't have. People can identify themselves belonging to the same race even when their skin colours cover a wide spectrum.

There are lots of people who can wonder about a baby's eventual skin colour when it's parents are both different, that interest in genetics, and how combinations of genes express physically is not in itself "racist".
Now I'm not denying that for some people it is, of course racism exists. But it's not a fact that it is true for everyone.

Meghan says herself she was not involved in those conversations, she did not hear any comments herself and she was told about them from Harry. That's hearsay and there's a reason it's not admissible in a court of law...because it's not the same as being involved in that conversation personally.

I'm also not going to take every word Harry says about race as gospel, this was a man who said "you look like a fucking rag-head" and "he's our little Paki friend" along with thinking a swastika arm band was a cool fun thing to wear to a party.
They are both happy to throw around racism accusations but neither have ever addressed Harry's own past comments/actions.

It wasn't anyone's present day decision. Archie will get one when his grandfather is King. This was decided long before H&M ever met. 

Archie isn't the only non-Cambridge great-grandchild the Queen has. Zara's and Peter's kids don't have titles. Even if we're to believe that's because Zara and Peter don't have titles, Eugenie does, and she just had a baby who is as white and English as one can be, but he didn't get a title.

I guess some view William + Harry as the same. But they aren't and were never going to be.

But that was due to their choice as opposed to being told that was what was going to happen

Because genetically it was only ever possible for it to be one thing. No need to wonder about it - can be predicted with 100% accuracy.

There were however lots of discussions about eye & hair colour, height and potential for baldness if a boy.
Those sorts of things just interest some people - like how George had brown eyes and that's unusual (but obviously not impossible) considering he has parents who have blue & green eyes.
If you aren't interested in the genetics and science of it then that's fine, but stop trying to ram this idea down people's throat's that those who are must be racist.

I doubt there was a discussion when Kate was pregnant about the color or complexion of her child.

They have similar hair and skin color. I know for sure it was brought up all through my pregnancies. I have dark olive skin and dark hair and dark eyes and my husband has curly red hair and freckles and green eyes. If I heard one conversation about wondering who the children would resemble, I heard 100. No one care beyond being curious. Almost any woman who is married to someone who is different from her in coloring or size has heard those comments.
