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.

This made me smile. All the fury and rage on here but the queen is said to be “cheesed off” !!

Lucca Sun 07-Mar-21 07:49:10

I’m pretty sure most will watch, otherwise how would they be able to “discuss” it at length the next day. I might start watching it but I’m a bit of a dozer off these days anyway so definitely won’t watch it all. Probably read about inThe Times online next day.

I want to watch but now she is doing to heavy eye make up , doe eyed look of Diana , and for two hours !

Bellasnana Sun 07-Mar-21 07:29:50

No I won’t be watching. I find the whole sorry saga cringeworthy.

Undecided. In the teaser clips broadcast so far all we heard was Oprah speaking. While I used to admire her, I found in the last years of her show she was very self centered and the guests barely got a word in. Give us Barbara Walters any time to ask the pertinent questions.

I think I am as curious as the average person. I admire the Queen but detest what happened to Diana and can sympathize with Harry in that he does not want a repeat of the intense paparazzi for his family. They did their break-away, they should do a stay-away! We will lose interest if they are not in the news. I wish them well.

I’ll watch if only because there isn’t much else on. Better to hear it from the horse’s mouth , so to speak.

LauraNorder Sat 06-Mar-21 23:42:41

We’ve added a bottle of Baileys to tomorrow’s Tesco order to help us through the long interview. Also it was reduced from £20 to £12.

I watched the Prince Andrew carcrash interview and I will watch this, as others have said, to see and hear for myself exactly what they are spouting. But I will be recording it and probably watching in 20 mins segments as that is all I will be able to stand before throwing up!

Yes, for the same reasons as Pantglas2 has so eloquently stated.
Though it annoys me that in doing so I'll be adding to the viewing figures and making them seem more popular ?‍♀️?‍♀️

Witzend Sat 06-Mar-21 23:19:59

I won’t be watching. TBH I’m sick of the whole wretched pantomime.

overthehill Sat 06-Mar-21 23:16:59

Certainly will. Admire the Queen but no time for any of them M&H included.
However, totally intrigued with all the gossip.
Has anyone noticed M's eye makeup in the interview? Specially done to give a sad look very smudged beneath her eyes. Not the usual.

Gannygangan Sat 06-Mar-21 23:10:26

No thank you.

I'd rather have a root canal fitting

nadateturbe Sat 06-Mar-21 23:09:40

I will, if I don't fall asleep. ....

AmberSpyglass Sat 06-Mar-21 23:04:34

It should be entertaining and frankly I’m hoping for a bit of juicy scandal.

annodomini Sat 06-Mar-21 22:58:30

I'm sure I can think of better things to do!

LauraNorder Sat 06-Mar-21 22:55:53

I wish I could say that I’m a woman of principle and therefore will not watch. However Orlin and I had a conversation earlier pretty much mirroring what Pantglas has said.
We will probably record it because undoubtedly I’ll doze off at some point.

Dottynan Sat 06-Mar-21 22:34:32

No, dirty laundry is best washed in the privacy of ones own kitchen

Missfoodlove Sat 06-Mar-21 22:33:25

Definitely will watch,it will be a car crash, just like Andrew and Emily, Diana and Martin etc etc.
They don’t seem to learn.

Casdon Sat 06-Mar-21 22:31:30

No, it clashes with Masterchef.

heath480 Sat 06-Mar-21 22:26:05

Not watching,sick of it all and it hasn’t been on yet!

GagaJo Sat 06-Mar-21 22:22:13

I wonder if Oprah's production will be better than the previous debacles. She's supremely experienced at interviewing.

Boz Sat 06-Mar-21 22:10:59

No need to watch; highlights (or lowpoints) will be all over Monday morning papers.

Esspee Sat 06-Mar-21 22:10:27

No. They are attention seeking and best ignored.

Devorgilla Sat 06-Mar-21 22:08:55

I will watch it and also tape it as I am not sure I will stay the course. There is only so much dirty laundry you can stomach at any one time. Like Pantglas, I think you can only really comment if you heard it first hand. I also want to see Harry's expressions. From what I have seen so far on the clips he looks like someone not entirely happy to be there. Very unlike the casual atmosphere of the Corden interview. It will be interesting to read on here the posters take on it. And yes, perhaps a stiff drink to accompany is an essential.

Kim19 Sat 06-Mar-21 22:07:28

Yes, my plan is to watch and hope that I don't fall asleep in the middle. I need to have my own interpretation of what is said and how the questions are framed (or loaded) and keep reminding myself that it will be thoroughly edited.
