Monday - will you watch....and why?

Parents usually forgive their children anything don’t they, but the public betrayal here will be very hard to get over. I feel sorry for the whole family, and Meghan’s family too.

Harry hopes to mend relationships with his father, can he be trusted ? If Charles did choose to speak to them will he be sure
they won’t give another interview, I couldn’t trust after a betrayal.

From the clips I’ve seen, Oprah doesn’t interview them at all, she merely provides a stage for them.
Callistemon is correct in saying that Oprah is no Jeremy Paxman. Now that is an interview I would have watched, Meghan, Harry, and Paxman. He takes no prisoners.

I don’t think I’ll watch it now. I’ve seen enough clips and just don’t buy into their tale of woe.

Prince Archie - doesn’t sound quite right, somehow.

I wonder what name they’ll come up with for their expected daughter.

To be fair she’s a lot more than just a chat show host as urmstongran posted on a different thread

Yes, but this is what this is tonight.

I remember when the story was that she was allegedly offered a cheap handbag in a Swiss shop because, she said, the assistant probably thought that she couldn't afford it because she is black.
The assistant involved was distressed and disputed that version of events.

I repeat - she is no Jeremy Paxman.

I’m still undecided whether to watch or not.

Something however is crystal clear for me. One person’s truth may not be another person’s truth. H & M may very well be telling their truth. This doesn’t mean that there isn’t another truth or truths out there that someone else believes equally strongly. (This has been very evident over the last few years between two of my three DDs who see a family dispute quite differently.)

Meghan certainly shows no understanding of royal protocol when she complains about no title for Archie.

I had hoped that once the Sussex’s had disappeared across the pond our vitriolic press would leave them be but in my opinion they have courted publicity. So much for them wanting privacy. As for the rest I’m not bothered one way or the other. Much of it is only opinion and unimportant.

There are far more important issues such as climate change that need immediate attention.

A dreadful photograph of Megan with Harry as a ventriloquist's dummy is circulating on Fb.

Princess Anne refused a title for her husband when she married and also refused titles for her children.

I am beginning to understand why the Duchess of Sussex talked at the start of her interview about 'her' truth. Too many of the things she said in the interview are unravelling in its aftermath.

Still on the subject of titles.

Archie could have been Earl of Dumbarton I believe, through one of Harry’s subsidiary titles, but H&M didn’t seem to want that.
Sounds like it had to be Prince or nothing.

When/if Charles becomes King then Archie would automatically become a Prince but H&M have renounced that.

If Meghan is miffed about that then she should have held on.

Sensible Anne rejected that for her children.

One thing is for sure - Oprah may be Queen of Chat Shows and for good reason but she's not exactly Jeremy Paxman, is she!

This will be very one-sided.

The only actual legal part of a wedding is the paperwork - you don’t even need to do vows. So if they had a private ceremony with witnesses and signed the paperwork there, the public spectacle was just that. I think it’s ridiculous that we’re supposed to pay for - and want to watch! - someone else’s wedding, but I think that about the whole lot of parasites. The Church of England doesn’t dictate the law!

It appears that Thomas Markle will be interviewed on GMB tomorrow........

Amelia247, I apologised for assuming that you were in the USA because you said you’d watched the whole thing.
You accepted my apology and then said you were in fact in the USA so I withdraw said apology.

I, most definitely, will NOT be wasting my time watching this.

I will repeat the comment I made to a man who was so upset the morning that Diana died - Told him I did not know anyone with that name - he was bewildered, and told me he meant Princess Diana - told him that I thought of her and all members of that family as often as they thought of me and mine.

Id I want to watch a fantasy soap - then I will make do with Corrie and Neighbours!!!

Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex’s children are not known as Prince or Princess, although they are entitled to be called such as the grandchildren of the monarch. Archie is the great grandchild of the monarch, and so not entitled to be styled Prince until Prince Charles becomes King.
Complaining about this is an indication of what is important to Meghan and Harry.

Married is a legal term, as is shown by the issuing of a Marriage Certificate upon the marriage of two people.
He’s married to the job is just an expression, that’s all.

I’m sure your account of grandparents loving their grandchild is replicated throughout the world, whether the child is mixed race or not. And I’m sure Archie’s grandparents and great grandparents love him unconditionally, just like all other grandparents, but how sad that they are unlikely to ever see him again in the flesh, whilst he is a child. I hope I’m wrong though and they do manage to see him.

Can Archie be a HRH , he hasn’t a title , HRH. Mr. X ? no

Well at least a couple of things have been cleared up now. They weren't married 3 days before the wedding and Archie hasn't been denied his right to HRH as that can't happen until Charles is King.

I can remember a friend of mine who does not have an ounce of racism in her make-up. speculating about the skin colour of her much welcomed grandchild-to-be because her daughter in law was an African.

She loves that child without any reservation, as I imagine her African grandparents do although she does not look exactly like any of their children - she is mixed race, she is beautiful and she is very much loved by all of her extended family.

It’s the use of the term “married” that’s caused the problem because it’s a legal term.
I don't think it is or you couldn't say things like "He was married to the job".

Oh yes, loads of people pop into the registry office and then have a religious ceremony. It’s very common around our way.
