The Harry / Meghan / Oprah interview

It's just the narrative they want. The rules of succession and titles have been established for a very long time.
I mean, crying racism works for everyone else, why not them? I'm sure someone made the comment, but I seriously doubt it was in the context of 'well, they'd better not be dark'.

Monarchy's last gasps.
Compared to what her Uncle did this is nothing.

"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@loki said in The Harry / Meghan / Oprah interview:
But actually
Instead, the candid interview, which lasted three hours and 20 minutes (but was cut down to an hour and 25 minutes, according to Oprah), took place at what Oprah described as a friend's house. "I'm not going to disclose the friend, because I don't want people now going to find the friend and the friend's house," Oprah said, jokingly adding, "But I have friends!"

I find what Harry and Meghan are doing very distasteful, however I also believe that the British tabloid press did go after Meghan in an absolutely disgusting way, probably because she's an American, but also in all likelihood because she's half black. It also isn't really surprising that Harry has no time for the tabloid assholes, considering what happened to his mother.
They way the British press treat people is truly dreadful. The solution is not to do this, of course. They're making themselves look ridiculous.
I'd also just like to point out that Piers Morgan is a cunt, in case anybody was wondering how I felt about him.

Oh good; thanks for clearing that up, Phibes.

Meh, the whole trying to look like Wallis Simpson thing is really off putting and makes her look petty.

You are not the audience for that dress.

Sure I am. It annoyed me off, and that’s what she was going for. Oh, there might have been a few particular targets she was shooting for, but I’m sure they got it.
I wonder if Andrew got it?

@axtremus said in The Harry / Meghan / Oprah interview:
The world pays entirely too much attention to the British royal family.
Too right.
Also, if you don't like the British royals, get your own royalty.
Oh, sorry, too late. You've got some. Good luck.
I must admit, I'm very glad I won't have to listen to the British media obsessing about this bullshit for 26 hours a day for the next month.

This is all about money. Lawyers understand full well what arguments to hint to the public and also hint at what’s in store for the monarchs if they don’t comply.

@doctor-phibes said in The Harry / Meghan / Oprah interview:
Piers is a former gutter journalist, who worked for a number of British tabloids.
I know nothing of his past, other than he's virulently anti-gun and occasionally says something funny.
He was editor of the News of the World, quite possibly the sleaziest tabloid in Britain, which is really going some. A newspaper that was eventually closed down after the phone hacking scandal. One of the people whose phone was hacked was a murdered schoolgirl.
He wasn't editor at that point, but it gives you an idea.
I wouldn't be too sure whether he's particularly anti-gun. He knew it would get him publicity when he had a show in the US.
Now, he hosts a breakfast TV show in the UK. He's basically a professional cunt - as in, he says lots of controversial things which get him airtime and publicity.
Oh, and Jeremy Clarkson punched him in the face at a party.
