Obviously, the Oprah interview with the Sussexes.

I will because I want to hear it straight from the source rather than media spin/interpretation so that I can comment later on what I saw and heard, when discussions start up as they surely will.

However, I don’t think they should be doing an interview at all (I felt the same about Diana and Charles interviews) these things end up backfiring against them.

Well that was two hours well spent....?

Anniebach Mon 08-Mar-21 22:44:25

Did I mishear , I was playing Killer Suduko, did Harry say he was trying to educate Charles and William ?

This shows that the you tube interviews were a hoax.

Thomas Markle , gosh

JaneJudge Mon 08-Mar-21 22:36:47

do they all really have to curtsey every time hey see the queen or is it a one off? It all sounds very sound of music

DD found a box set of Yes Minister in a charity shop recently and gave it to us. We watched three episodes this evening. On balance Yes, Minister is a lot wittier but probably didn't make us laugh as much as watching the Oprah interview would have.

Well. Just finished untangling The Sun crossword that my husband had messed up.
Have I missed anything? ?

Calendargirl Mon 08-Mar-21 22:25:16

Thomas Markle.

Piers Morgans behaviour on this is beyond creepy.

Anniebach Mon 08-Mar-21 22:22:55

Who is Thomas ?

Boz Mon 08-Mar-21 22:21:33

Piers Morgan has Thomas on his breakfast show itv tomorrow morning.
The Media fight back.
Very silly pair to awaken the Kraken

Didn’t you realise, all points of view are welcome on here Pippamoo, even from those with delusions of superior insight. What else would we do with our evening after all?

From the bit I saw, she seemed to be confusing the monarchy with Disney.

Bridgeit Mon 08-Mar-21 21:58:58

I agree Maybee70

MayBee70 Mon 08-Mar-21 21:53:28

From what I’ve heard so far it seems to be more of a problem with the gutter press not the royal family. And, from memory, they don’t comment on untrue stories in them. And other royals don’t have titles etc.

seacliff brilliant film, we’re watched Leeds get beaten by West Ham!!

Grandma70s Mon 08-Mar-21 21:42:02

Switched off after 20 minutes or so.

Pippamoo Mon 08-Mar-21 21:33:15

This thread reads very much like Parlor/Qanon threads!

And Biden didn't win the election! ?

AND the majority of you couldn't understand how so many Americans voted for Trump!

It all makes sense (why you didn't understand) now!

Summerlove Mon 08-Mar-21 21:32:50

It sounds like Harry let her down a lot

Callistemon Mon 08-Mar-21 21:29:24

What I find most odd about the story of curtsying etc is that Harry didn’t explain everything fully. He is Royal. He knows nothing else. It’s in his DNA. Are we to believe he didn’t guide her regarding all the customs and intricacies of the institution she was marrying into?
We're watching the recording and I said exactly the same. Harry let her down on that occasion.

She also had an excellent, hand-picked team, not at all the Palace 'old guard'.

lemsip Mon 08-Mar-21 21:22:31

ayse. I agree.

seacliff Mon 08-Mar-21 21:21:49

Not watching, for my own MH. Enjoying Hidden Figures instead - the TRUE story of a team of female African-American mathematicians who served a vital role in NASA during the early years of the U.S. space program. Fascinating.

ayse Mon 08-Mar-21 21:18:52

It’s too sugary! I just can’t watch it anymore. It reminds me of The Good Witch - Netflix! Yuk.

Casdon Mon 08-Mar-21 21:13:14

Which bit was that Galaxy?
