If not Oprah interviewing, who would you like to have seen?

(I was joking about Piers btw)

It wouldnt have been boring though like it was.

PA could do with a bit more demolishing.

Considering the demolition job she did on Prince Andrew, it would have to be none other than Emily Maitlis.

Piers Morgan haha

I think I’d go for Louis Theroux, he’s very good at getting under people’s exterior gloss and exposing their true selves.

AmberSpyglass, I think the suggestion is for a stronger more questioning interviewer. The general feeling is that Oprah Winfrey gave the pair a very easy ride and didn’t push for answers as some of those suggested might have done.
Nothing to do with race or sex of the interviewer.
Kirsty Whark or Emily Maitlys might have been more probing.

^...nothing about where Meghan Markles mum was during her teen years. Was she actually in prison as has been said and if so what for.^

Dear God, what next?

To be fair, when any other members of the RF agree to an interview they do not choose an interviewer who is likely to be abrasive and put them on the defensive. They do exactly the same as M&H have done.

Has anyone ever seen a RF interview where the interviewer was challenging them; apart of course for Andrew who is clearly a bit short of brain cells, amongst other things? They are usually pretty cringeworthy.

Oh yes, let’s discuss replacing a woman of colour with (based on the predominant suggestions) a white man.

Surely it has nothing to do with the age, sex, race or religion of the potential interviewer. The OP asked who would be best for the job.

“Harry was born on September 15, 1984, which means he was conceived around Christmas 1983 ... “Diana did not meet James Hewitt until the summer of 1986........

Oh yes, let’s discuss replacing a woman of colour with (based on the predominant suggestions) a white man.

Donald Trump!

maddyone I think there would be a paternity test for Harry/Charles and a lie detector for Meghan.

It was quite gentle but then I think that Oprah had them in her sights a long time ago. There were big gaps in the questioning and nothing about where Meghan Markles mum was during her teen years. Was she actually in prison as has been said and if so what for.
I must say I was distracted by Oprah’s hair, was it a wig ? I couldn’t take to her glasses, didn’t think they suited her at all.

Even better Andrew Neil, great interviewer

Piers Morgan

Dame Edna Everage?

Miriam Margolyes.

Andrew Neil.

Missfoodlove

Jeremy Kyle???

Love it Missfoodlove.
Do you think he’d bring them to blows?

Andrew Neil, Jeremy Paxman, Robin Day (in his day, sorry about the pun.)

Jeremy Kyle???

Yes, John Humphries.

suzie I was thinking of the other thread where DC's perceptions of their childhoods differ from that of their parents.
I think we can all relate to that

Call I would never expect to get the full truth from the vast majority of interviews with anyone in the public eye- celebrities, politicians, royalty whatever. I think we are given a lot of partial truths, half truths and lies by omission and commission. Plus your point that people can have honestly held perceptions of the truth which differ wildly ( and widely).
