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

Yes, out of curiosity.
I think that the actual Royal Family may well have got so used to the way things are done, they can't see any other way. We also forget that the Queen and Prince Philip are both now in their nineties and will not change.
From the bits I have seen, it may not be the actual Family but those that work for them - think Downton Abbey and the Carson insisting certain things must be done a certain way, because that was the way it had always been done - I have no doubt that there are still some staff there exactly the same.

No NellG. I have opinions, as we all do, but to be honest, they are not either for or against the royal family. I think they are all a waste of money. As individuals, I prefer some of them to others (the Queen and Anne, for example).

What I really can't stand is this hatred, dressed up as 'impartial' discussion.

Lucca people with closed minds will twist/interpret everything to fit their beliefs.

Personally I can’t understand how this couple attract so much vitriol. They’re hardly on the same level as the Ceausescus.

I have decided I am as entitled as anybody else to comment in these threads. I have my tin hat on ready for the flak.

Are you claiming to be impartial Gagajo?

As with the comments before about Meghan. Why is it OK to do it to her, but the minute it happens with a member of the RF, it is unacceptable.

Double standards.

Who was the person/people questioning what colour Archie would be? Really? You can't take an educated guess? He says stuff like that in public, there is NO reason to think he wouldn't be just as offensive in private.

And so it starts. With no evidence whatsoever, serious allegations against someone who can’t answer back.

I've seen it.

Nobody knows who is telling the truth

But that wedding story is a falsehood. They might have had a rehearsal but not a wedding.

I think the Queen will have to comment, or the Palace. It's just far too big a deal.

Who was the person/people questioning what colour Archie would be? Really? You can't take an educated guess? He says stuff like that in public, there is NO reason to think he wouldn't be just as offensive in private. Meghan said the Queen had only ever been nice to her.

And as for Kate. You all believed the rumours when it was believed that Meghan made Kate cry. But disbelieve it when it is said that Kate made Meghan cry.

Fair enough, you are picking sides. But don't pretend you are being insightful and impartial.

I won't be watching. I am so sorry that Harry suffered the loss of his mother under such awful circumstances. I can understand him wanting to protect his wife.

And I agree the queen is wise not to watch, however she won’t be able to avoid hearing about it from her courtiers/advisors/family I’d guess.

I thought the same Lucca so I will, somewhat reluctantly, watch it.

I think the Queen though is very sensible in deciding she will give it a miss thank you very much!

Thank you Jennifer!

As have you Lucca.

Please explain that comment Maddy? Are you saying I’ve watched highlights and clips ? I haven’t.
You seem to be saying that Meghan is acting and therefore not telling the truth.
I’m undecided about watching it, it is not my sort of thing. If I don’t watch it I won’t comment.
But you must know as well as I do that the press on either side of the political divide are quite capable of reporting even a televised interview in such a way as to fit a certain bias.

I’ve said many times before I am not on any particular “side”. My objections voiced on this site have always been about the amount of “nasty” comments along the lines of remarks about Meghan’s acting career, comments claiming to know her innermost thoughts and plans.

I thought that was odd Smileless. I wish Oprah had been able to ask some real questions.

And after all this time with the constant references by H to his mental health, M starts talking about her own. Heaven forbid H may get some sympathy and understanding if she doesn't get her fair share!!

I certainly wouldn't want the entire world to know that my husband was so spineless that despite me being suicidal while pregnant, he sat back and did nothing to help me get the help I so desperately needed.

They haven't lived !!

It's going to be really excruciating and won't do anything for the blood-pressure at all as many will shout at the screen

Well said Smiles, agree 100%.

I spent many years working with people who have personality disorders, you learn to smell BS a mile off. If what she says about her MH was true the last place she would be talking about it is on TV. The whole thing is rancid with manipulation.

If people choose to carry on being conned by this couple it's their lookout. I don't deal with that stuff unless I"m getting paid for it.

Yes Lucca I'll feel free to comment on it even though I wont be watching and TBH I can't see the difference between someone who watches and someone who doesn't.

From what I can gather from this mornings tit bits, those who have watched it fall into 2 camps. One camp who believes everything they've said, even though a lot appears to be unsubstantiated and unverifiable.

Who was the person/people questioning what colour Archie would be? Who was the person/people who denied M help when she felt suicidal? How convenient that there can be no come back because she didn't identify them.

Why talk about Kate reducing her to tears, and then not wish to go into details because it wouldn't be fair, as she apologised? Why mention it all?

Bullies choose their victims, the ones who are unable to defend themselves. It's extremely unlikely that the RF will respond because that's not what they do. I hope they don't. I hope they treat this trash with the contempt it deserves.

" I will not be watching. I consider it an act of self care" me too Nell and from the clips I've seen and what I've read for H I consider him being a part of this circus, an act of self harm.

I thought the same Lucca so I will, somewhat reluctantly, watch it.

I think the Queen though is very sensible in deciding she will give it a miss thank you very much!

Lucca

Will people who don’t watch it feel free to comment about it based only on newspaper reports of the interview, or on edited highlights ?
Not looking for a fight, just asking.

Yes, I will, if I want to.

Having just caught yet another clip I will not be watching, I consider it an act of self care.

As have you Lucca.

I've just read a summary of the interview in the Washington Post, so I won't be watching. I think M and H are miscalculating by attacking the RF, if you take away the fact that H is a minor royal, you actually don't have a lot left to trade on!

maddyone

I won’t be watching, I don’t want to watch someone playing the victim. From the clips I’ve seen, I have to say, I didn’t realise she was such a good actress.

So you’ve decided already

Will people who don’t watch it feel free to comment about it based only on newspaper reports of the interview, or on edited highlights ?
