Devil 1,179 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Sign of the times this isn't it, it's almost like an episode of Geordie shore now but with the Royals. I half expect the Royals to start turning up on Dancing on Ice or I'm a Celeb because they've fallen on hard times or are trying to boost their social media numbers.

Danny 2,206 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I think it's fair to question why they'd do this interview after wanting privacy for ages, but I think it's also fair to say that they are allowed to address the many, many issues that the media have created for them. And considering the main issue with her is that she's black, what better way to do it than on Oprah, away from the British media who would have killed for an exclusive like this. Oprah also made a fair point about living a private life vs living a life without invasion of privacy, and the latter is what they have received, you can still be in the public eye without your life being a given for people to invade. The money issue is a big one as well, the level of security Harry would need for himself and his family. They'll be open to scrutiny though and rightly so, but this is really highlighting an inherent level of racism within the British media that has always existed, Harry and Meghan are properly slapping their proverbial dicks all over the media's faces with this. The responses from some of them have been embarrassing, you wonder how some of these people live their lives without singing GSTQ morning and before bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their website hits probably booming. Are they really going to be bothered about that though? The newspapers have got exactly what they wanted out of this no doubt, that's their game when it comes to the Royal Family, stoking grievance towards the rich and powerful knowing they can't respond to defend themselves, until one of them cracks. I think if we're to take Harry and Meghan on face value, and I currently see no reason not to do so (more or less), then their aim was to get their own point across more than it was to stick it to the media. Although I would point out that they won a couple of million settlement off the Mail or something a few weeks ago so they're still trying to get that bit done through other channels. Most snap polling shows that, unsurprisingly, they haven't come off well in the UK so far. But a few people are pointing out that this wasn't really for us, it was for their US audience. The timing of Grandad's hospitalisation, while this is obviously not the primary concern on that front, won't have helped them in the UK as many of those getting stuck into them can wilfully ignore that it was filmed weeks ago and go with the line that they "went ahead with it while the Queen's husband is in hospital". The best part is, it airs in the UK tonight so we get to do this all again tomorrow. I suppose it will he vaguely interesting to see whether the reaction is more or less positive if they watch the full interview instead of drawing their conclusions from the pre-release reviews. I'd imagine though that most people tuning into it tonight are likely to have made their minds up one way or the other in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machado 1,710 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 So an old, white, racist institution was old, white and racist. Shocking. With the power to grab audiences Oprah has, she'd do better in interviewing some volunteer working in Syria or Yemen. You know, turn people's attention to real world problems instead of caviar grievances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
