No thanks. They are attention seekers and I'm not feeding in to it.

I'm totally watching: great distraction from all the pandemic horrors.
I really like both of them, but do worry about Harry no longer being close to William - that's really very sad.
We Brits have to wait till tomorrow, while it airs in the States tonight... grr.

She arguably has a much better track record at successful relationships than her half-siblings. Really? Which ones...apart from her mother? She ended her first marriage after less than 2 years and she mailed her rings back to him. Not exactly a successful result there. There's more to her family than her two half siblings, she doesn't have relationships with any of her family - only her mother was at the wedding, one person from both sides of her family. And we have plenty of evidence of Harry having a much better track record of both personal and family relationships, until a certain point....when was that? Oh yes, when he met Meghan. Now most of those are barely hanging by a thread. Exactly...it is so concerning. Not one Aunt, sibling, cousin....no one other than Mom. That is so strange. She also has been known to drop friends for no reason other than they were probably no useful to her IMO. She is trying so hard to get sympathy for herself at the expense of destroying the Royals. She got what she wanted...freedom, home in California and her multi dollar deals. But that is not good enough...she wants to blow up the Bridge she crossed. Selfish behavior. edited to add: she keeps preaching to be compassionate and kind. But she is the opposite of this. I for one will not let Oprah or M get my viewership ratings, I am sure I will see the train wreck all over the internet when it is all over tonight. |

Harry appears to be weak, almost down-trodden with his never-ending grief for his mother and how she died. Wow, what a shitty way to describe it. The kid was 12 when his mother died. The royal family treated his mother like shit for years and I'm gonna venture a guess that he witnessed a lot of the behind the scenes goings on that probably tainted his views on the media and the royal establishment and totally screwed with his head. She's too classy to do that That's an interesting take on the queen. I agree. These threads always show me what seems to be the issue with Harry and Megan—people feel entitled to speculate and assume that they know everything about the family, when In fact they really only know very little. And that people think they are entitled to put the RF/Harry down yet somehow Harry and Megan are supposed to just suck it up and accept that? People look up to them for their title, yet tear down who they really are. I also have to say that the more I learn about the monarchy over the centuries, the more I dislike the idea of it. So if leaving that behind makes them happy, so be it. |

I am kind of frustrated that the Queen WON'T set the record straight. I almost wish she would shoot back with her side, but I know she won't.I also think the timing blows with Pr. Phillip in the hospital - I am sure this has been on the schedule for a while and they couldn't have forecasted a sick granddad, but damn. awful timing. You can bet the Royal commentators/correspondents will not be backward in dissecting what is said! Am I the only one who feels there is no way this could NOT have been taken off schedule if H&M really insisted on it? From everything we hear in the UK, Oprah IS TV. If they told her it was inappropriate to air at the moment or if she felt so herself, I really do not believe it would not have been pulled and rescheduled, notwithstanding the cost of so doing. |

I can’t stand Oprah, but I feel Meghan has been butchered in the press to create drama that sells clicks, and they have every right to tell their story if they want to. Just because you don’t want to participate in the lying tabloid circus doesn’t mean you must be a hermit.
I just wish it weren’t Oprah.

Spoiler alert - neither of them are reading these threads here. These threads always show me what seems to be the issue with Harry and Megan—people feel entitled to speculate and assume that they know everything about the family, when In fact they really only know very little Then let's just close the whole board down because unless we all just talk about ourselves endlessly (and JFC that would be dull) then the same is true about single person that is discussed here, every actor, media personality, politician, singer etc. Everything that is posted is always opinion & speculation, H&M are no different, they are just the ones doing stuff that puts them in the media right now. |

Not watching. They are getting a nice chunk of change for this and I am sure that is why they are doing it.
They are acting like spoiled reality televisions stars.
Don't want to follow the rf rules, then leave and quit trying to capitalize on the shit.
But you knew going in there were protocols and what-not it is like taking a job and then expecting them to change the dress code for you.

I would love to be in the palace women's "What's App" group as this airs. Imagine what Kate/Anne/Zara/Eugenie/Beatrice/Autumn and Sophie will be texting? Maybe a few  and  and  ? |

Talking about Sophie, I wondered why Harry and Meghan didn't do what Edward and Sophie have done, still part of the family but plenty of privacy to raise their children whilst supporting the charities that mean something to them.

Not British but have lived here long enough to see the interaction between the Royal family and the British public. The Royal family are not just another rich, well connected family. They are part and parcel of the governing framework of the UK and the Commonwealth. They are apolitical in their public life, they don't vote. Actually not sure how far down the pecking line the no voting thing goes. I remember there was a lot of talk around letters Prince Charles wrote to government depts years ago about subjects he is passionate about. The talk was around whether Charles was trying to influence government policy and overstepping his mark. It caused a lot of discussion. They perform soft diplomacy duties for the country. The Queen is head of the Church of England. They are also part and parcel of the social, cultural and religious calendar of the country. They walk a fine line between performing those duties and not stepping out of bounds. They can't and don't talk freely about a lot of topics The Royal life is like a big hulk of a ship, it's steers a course defined by history and turns slowly. It's worked for them for centuries, all the ceremonies and rituals exist for a reason. Reminding us of all history, legal and constitutional workings of the UK. If Harry didn't prepare Meghan for all that being part of royal life involved then that was extremely short sighted of him. I have been trying to put into words what I was thinking but you said it well. But maybe he tried to prepare her but she thought she would do it her way. |

She's too classy to do that PLUS her husband is still in the hospital. I think this interview will be the nail in the coffin so to speak for Harry and Meghan. Just shut up and live your lives. It’ll blow over - they’ve (RF) survived bigger things than this 😊 I personally find it fascinating what constitutes a 'thing' when it comes to the royal family. Were it me, this would be nothing compared to the company Andrew keeps, for example. |

It isn't really...just a tantrum whereas he has serious questions to answer and it shouldn't be left to just rumble on and on. |

I’m definitely going to tune in. I’ve really only followed their saga tangentially, so I’m curious to see how I’ll feel about them after what looks to be a lengthy interview.

I'm recording it but not watching it. I'll be watching Naked and Afraid-the new season starts tonight. I may watch it at some later date. I'm recording it just in case I might want to watch it later once I start reading all of the message board responses about it.
I like Harry but can't stand Meghan. My view-she is a narcissist. That's just my opinion and I could be totally wrong.

Just saw some rumor/spill on tiktok about how Megan could possibly talk about how she was used to keep Prince Andrew out of the spotlight for the Epstien stuff. interesting....

I probably wont watch.I am not a fan of either anymore and feel like if they want so much privacy, then perhaps they should try being private for a bit. I cannot imagine this interview will do much to slingshot them to new deals and contracts though. I do see this interview as a possible slap to the face The Queen. I think its disrespectful to air private grievances publicly.

When they decided to stop back I respected them for doing what they felt was right for their family. Given what Harry saw first hand happen to his mother I understood and could get behind where they were coming from. However, it is harder and harder to believe that wanting privacy was what it was all about when they continue to keep pulling stunts like this.
If they want to have privacy then I respect that....but then don’t go constantly looking for media attention. After this airs you know it is only going to worsen their chance for privacy.
So what is this really about? Harry having an ax to grind with the RF for the way they treated his mom? I am of the opinion that this isn’t all on Meghan. I think Meghan might be more of a scapegoat more than anything for Harry. I don’t believe she is pushing or at the very least has to push very hard for him to turn his back on the RF. That was set in motion the day his mom died.

There's plenty of blame to go around. But when you choose to join an institution like the Royal Family you should probably not go in with the attitude of changing things up and doing things your way until you've put the work in to become established in the organization. |
