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.

And with a heavy load of eye makeup

Whilst we're on appearances, how does someone manage to "weep buckets" of despair in the dark during performances at the Royal Albert Hall, yet still look immaculate in the intervals and afterwards when thanking the performers?

Casdon Tue 09-Mar-21 09:52:11

Lucca do you think so? I am therefore obviously shallow, as I’m more interested in their outfits than the ins and outs of their current family dramas. It will all blow over.

Thanks for the insults Nezumi and Maizie. I would have thanked you earlier but I was too busy having my opinions dictated by the press...

No need to thank me, Nell. It was the least I could do after wading through this disgusting hate fest.

Sophie Wessex wears white outfits, Meg and the Queen wear green.

Well exactly. I don’t understand what conclusions we were meant to draw!

Barrel and scraping spring to mind

Lucca Tue 09-Mar-21 09:41:46

What on earth conclusion were we meant to draw Aveline ?

Meghan and Kate both copied Diana ?

There’s a certain RF way of dressing ?

MissAdventure Tue 09-Mar-21 09:38:41

Well that's one conclusion reached, then.
Not a big deal. smile

Casdon Tue 09-Mar-21 09:37:36

I think that’s stretching it much more than the Meghan pictures, the only similarity is the colours, not the detail of the way the outfits were worn? To be fair to both of the younger royals though, it would be impossible not to wear similar dresses or suits, as Diana had so many?

Anniebach Tue 09-Mar-21 09:37:14

Two women of different generations wearing floral dresses and wearing a white outfit , shocking.

Megan did the same, wearing a black outfit .

MissAdventure Tue 09-Mar-21 09:31:20

How about this?

Agree with NelG, Calendagirl and Monica.
They must think the public are as stupid as they are, it wasn't so much an interview as a very bad therapy session. Oprah did not ask any of the obvious questions that people on here certainly are asking.
Do they not realise how they make themselves look with all this very public whinging .
Lets hope they now shut up.....but I doubt it.

Lucca Tue 09-Mar-21 09:28:30

Aveline

Just this. Draw your own conclusions

Er.. both very stylish women?

Bridgeit Tue 09-Mar-21 09:27:36

Wow

Aveline Tue 09-Mar-21 09:16:59

Just this. Draw your own conclusions

When harry first met meghan and told william about her we know that Harry was angry that william told him not to rush into anything and take his time to get to know her.
That is when skin colour of any children was mentioned....Not when she was actually expecting archie. Harry was exceptionally cruel to tell Meghan this. Very hurtful and damaging to William.
may I add; ALL IN MY OPINION ONLY. No I wasn't there so don't ask.

Anniebach Tue 09-Mar-21 09:00:27

Seems Harry wanted his fathers money.

Ellianne Tue 09-Mar-21 08:59:54

I taped it and watched it in the small hours.

1) there were at least 2 maybe 3 occasions when they said things "started to go wrong" within the family ... wedding preparations, jealousy after the Australia tour, and something else.
It seems every comment made was a catalyst for their anger and upset.
2) Meghan pretended to be surprised by what the papers said regarding stroking her tummy and the crying over the bridesmaid dress. She even asked Oprah to read out to her what was reported. As if!
She had clearly read other reports in the press thoroughly enough when it suited her.
Very dishonest and Oprah was part of this deception.

I didn’t watch the interview last night but did read a comment this morning that they had the support of Joe Biden. It’s very worrying that considering the problems in the USA currently that he has the time to not only watch the interview but also comment on it. Guessing he’s just following in the footsteps of the Obama, Clinton, Clooney brigade. The answer might be for Harry to take American citizenship and then all his mates in high places can foot his security bill and we ‘racist Brits’ will be well rid of them.

They came across as a couple that need to go into therapy.
Harry had difficulty answering some of the questions.

They did not attack the Queen and both spoke of her with
affection. All of this could have been addressed within the family and not shown publicly to be mocked like a travelling circus.

Prince Charles should be looking at his parenting qualities as Harry came across as a young man desperately wanting
his fathers help and acceptance. Without a doubt Harry has been failed by his father ever since the death of Diana and even now it seems that Harry has still not come to terms with her passing.

tickingbird Tue 09-Mar-21 08:45:20

I watched some of it last night as I lay in bed - it did help me get to sleep!

I believe that the reason this spoilt, petulant pair acted so strangely when Archie was born was because they felt their child wasn’t being given his due. There’s been whispers for a while that Harry gets jealous of William’s higher place in the pecking order of the institution. Stamp your collective feet and demand your son be titled prince and accuse the RF of racism. They’re guilty of wanting the rules changed for them and willing to play the race card when it doesn’t go their way.

Personally, I found it sickening and can’t believe people fall for this act. It wouldn’t surprise me if they get their way and I, for one, would rather see the end of the Monarchy, than give anything to this spiteful, greedy pair.

Anniebach Tue 09-Mar-21 08:44:58

Andrew certainly came under fire with the press, he vanished from sight and has remained silent. The Sussex’s leap in front
of any camera in sight so get themselves on the front pages.

Pantglas2 Tue 09-Mar-21 08:41:24

“Meghan married into a dysfunctional family.”

If that’s the case, luckygirl, she should’ve felt right at home having come from one.....
