Meghan and Harry Interview (Mod Warning in First Post)

Oh really? I don't follow it at all apart from knowing the brother will be king.

Does this not make them all look bad?

I think it makes Meghan look great, because according to some, she's the most powerful person in the world who managed to learn the entire intricacies and dynamics of the Royal Family from one trip to Buckingham Palace as a teen, felt her acting career wasn't going so well so decided it'd be easier to marry a member of the Royal Family and pull him out of the Royal Family to get a small Netflix deal rather than asking her agent to get her a better role, and is on the verge of destroying the entire Royal Family by manipulating the guy who is maybe 6th or 7th in line to the throne into marrying her and leaving the Royal Family because they were treated horribly and he had absolutely no say in any of it.

I mean, she's incredible tbh. One of the most powerful beings ever to exist.

I wonder how BP are going to respond? Twitter is speculating on every possible scenario from them saying nothing at all to pursuing legal action. I can’t see them just sitting back and taking these comments lightly

My son is biracial. I'm white and his mam is from SE Asia. When we were expecting him, we sometimes wondered aloud what features he'd get from each of us. It's just part of expecting a baby - the excitement of wondering what the little bundle will be like.

There need not be any badness in the comment; if you're woke with a victim complex however, the tendency is to take great umbrage at every remark and revel in how righteous you deem yourself to be.

Wondering what the child will look like is different to being concerned about how dark the child will be. If a family member said to you while your partner was pregnant that they are concerned about how Asian your child will look, how would you take that? Not too well I imagine, don't think your partner would like that anyway. That's completely different to being curious what attributes they will inherent or what they will look like. Surely this is basic stuff. Mad it has to be explained. Being concerned implying it's a negative thing.

Concerned - worried, troubled, or anxious. For anyone still unsure what concerned means.

Now none of us were there so none of us can be sure if it was innocent as you think or if it was more sinister but you gave a false misrepresentation of what they alleged. Not everything is woke. I know its the new favourite buzz word of the day.

The monarch enjoys a close relationship to the Archbishop of Canterbury always.
I think M&Hs allegation of being "married" three days earlier was taking a pop at the royal family to show they had a "secret" with this bishop.
Even a kindergarten child knows a marriage is non binding without 2 witnesses or a register being signed.
At best, they received a blessing from the archbishop but I think they've put him in an awkward position now too with the "firm".

"This morning, I woke up earlier than H, and saw a note from someone on our team in the U.K. saying that the Duke of Edinburgh had gone to the hospital," Meghan, 39, told Oprah. "But I just picked up the phone and I called the Queen just to check in."

"That's what we do," she explained, "being able to default to not having to every moment go, 'Is that appropriate?' "

This kindness does not seem to apply to her own father! Reading more and seeing her double standards makes me doubt all she is saying!

This was touted as a tell-all interview with nothing off limits.

The headline “reveal” pretty much sums up the interview. It is that someone in the family was worried about what the color of Archie’s skin might be. This was said to Harry and he informed Meghan of what was said. So, tell all. Who said that? When pressed for a name we get nothing but deflection as in “it would be too damaging to them”. How noble.

An interviewer with a tell all remit would have pressed for a name particularly with such a racist claim. It is an example of the victim playing deflective manipulation people can use i.e. if you confront them about the specifics of such a racist remark then you potentially run the risk of being deemed insensitive to the victim of that racist remark (an infant child). In lieu of naming that someone, the result is that everyone in the “firm” get’s broadly tarred with the same “racist” brush and it seems very deliberate and calculated in that way. She was suicidal? So if there is any response from the Palace what does it become? A racist institution still hounding a bullied and suicidal woman. That's the deal with narcissists. They invite you to play a game you simply can't win.

I think that’s all we need to know about the integrity and victim playing agenda on display here. It strikes me as a deliberate attempt to invoke the sensitive topic of race, to make a smear against the “institution” but when push comes to shove, tellingly, no actual names or specifics are revealed. The intended damage is done. It is not telling all and clearly some things were off limits such as naming names. The power of revealing would be lost if names were named but when we’re kept wondering then the power of that reveal is retained i.e. Was it Charles, William, Kate or the Queen herself? Or, is it, as many thought, the gaffe-prone 99 year old Prince gravely ill in hospital who has a history of making, pardon the pun, off-color embarrassing race remarks and socially is deemed a “content warning” because of his outdated outlook? Oprah had to clarify that it wasn't Prince Phillip or the Queen. She doesn't know to whom they were referring to with the remark and so the Sussexes game of “Guess who the racist is" continues. So, it's a case of sh*t or get off the pot. Say who said it, give some credibility to the accusation and allow the person to either explain or be accountable. I won't be holding my breath.

Well they better hope their career takes off because i suspect that bank of grandma is now closed.

She was earning 50k an episode for Suits as well as endorsements. Guess that doesn't count as a career taking off these days.

A few people were writing H&M here I couldn't figure out why people were on about the shop for a while!

She shamelessly played two cards..

Mental Heath “I was suicidal” card?

Wtf? Suicidal? Was she living in torment for years or something? Part of a family all of a few fooking months...she got exactly what she set out to get, global fame...and here she is now looking for more attention spouting off utter garbage about being suicidal?

These people do nothing but a disservice to mental health

Then, goes on the race angle by claiming racism due to what she says was some comment by “someone.”

So what “if” someone actually passed comment...big deal...

What is the fuss here?

A vile woman!

Disgusting post. Hope nobody in your life has mental health problems or ever looks to you for help.
