Harry & Meghan Oprah Interview Tonight

I did not watch the interview last night, but not out of any protest against it... we played board games with our son and his girlfriend instead. And now I'm thinking I didn't miss much.

I'm a firm believer in the one person's truth, the other person's truth, and the real truth lying somewhere in the middle theory. It's an unfortunate situation and sad that family rifts are being created and/or cemented.

I was married twice with two weeks in between ,I don’t know the laws in England but in Switzerland a church wedding is not legal you have to be married in a civil ceremony first.

I forgot ALL women of colour are 100% perfect and can never do a single thing wrong and you can never criticize them for anything (because racist!!)


Did you delete your post about Harry's finances because it didn't back up your point?
And you failed to answer - if he has all this money, then why is he the one bitching about being cut off financially?

They didn't marry in Switzerland though did they? Yes, they are different in the UK, not much point in comparing the rest of the world to what she said in that interview.
I don't doubt that she had a private ceremony where they chose to say their own personal vows to each other, that could very well be true but she didn't get MARRIED. That is what is in contention.

I’ve never seen a Tyler Perry movie. I’m willing to bet I’m like 1 of 5 because Black people love a movie that has representation🤣. Now I feel like I have to binge watch all of them.

That this is your takeaway... 🧐

Shaming other people for being “woke” is such a racist thing to do. You must provide the absolute best care for every patient you come across 🙄

I don't have a penis, so what's with the constant "hard on" comments?...very negative language, and obviously you must have very negative transphobic thoughts to be constantly talking about women having penises and erections in such a derogatory way.
But that's just another thing shitty cis women do.

You also VERY conveniently ignore that I am just as critical of very white red haired Harry as I am of his wife, so how exactly does treating them as equal, make me racist?

I have yet to watch the programme .

Growing up in England I knew there was a fondness and reverence for the Queen but it seemed very distant.
I had no idea that people thought the way they do and get so passionate about every detail. My Mum used to enjoy reading / watching things to do with the royal family but it was a passing interest and relaxed never intense. 

My take on the royal family is one of feeling sorry for the way that Princess Diana was treated by them ,feeling sorry for her sons having to walk behind her coffin , feeling sorry for the relentless way the press harassed her. So with that I can see the possibility of history repeating itself despite not knowing the details.

I am also finding the way royal correspondents on tv claim to know everything that goes on behind closed doors very irritating. Their choice of words and delivery style showing their bias. I just turned the news off .

I hope the couple find happiness and good health.

I would encourage everyone to look online at the responses in the Black community to the interview. Of course there’s diversity of opinion there, because no demographic group al thinks the same. But on the whole, the reactions are very different than what we’re seeing here. I think we could all benefit from seeking out other viewpoints and giving real thought to them and why reactions are so divergent.

Having never walked in their shoes I certainly have no dog in this fight. I do wish Harry and Meghan all the best as they continue to navigate life and raise their family.

Pjaye, I don’t have a dog in the fight, but you really are invested in letting us know how much you dislike Meghan. You have around a dozen replies/retorts in this thread alone.

We get your view. Everything the woman does or says will be through that lens for you.

We get your opinion.

 Yes!  Thank you, busy.

I would imagine the truth is muddled up somewhere in the middle. No one is innocent and no one is the villain. The fact that some people continue to try to paint them as some type of movie trope is telling.

There appears to be a systemic failure that is concerning but not all that surprising with the British royalty. I do not think the couple is lying, but they really should have been more proactive in preparing for all of this and perhaps been more assertive in asking for more support. I don’t think “The Firm” is malicious. I think they are made up of humans with a long history of making a mess of things due to their unique and narrow perspective.

I do think a lot of their decision making is due to fear of the public moving against them (aka media helps to control that). They need to be loved or at least tolerated in order to survive, so they see everything through that lens (survival, duty and history) and it keeps them from being able to forge healthy new paths. I think it must be incredibly hard to do that.

They ALL should have been much more prepared for this...including how they would address racism against Meghan. They all should be MUCH more aware of mental health and how to deal with all of this better. There should be discussions, on the regular, with The Firm, working through issues and concerns openly and honestly.

My god, I know it isn’t easy, but they continue to be reactive instead of proactive. I wish the Queen and Phillip no ill will, but hopefully the next generations will be able to do this (not really hopeful about Charles though).
